Misfits”, Archie Rand's exhibition at @davidtotah, 183 Stanton Street, NYC opens January 18th from 6-8pm. The show features a cast of the 36 secret personalities who coexist with us, based on the 36 “lamed vavniks” for whose righteous sake G-d does not destroy the world. Exhibit on view until February 17, 2019. . #lamedvavnik #lamedvav #misfits #nygallery #galleryart #archierand #totahgallery #talmudic #jewishart #contemporaryjewishart . The 36 works included in Misfits depict portraits and ambiguous scenarios in the midst of unfolding. Each painting reaches for something beyond what is visible to the naked eye—a world of empathic imagination, comprising wonderment and joy as much as confusion and melancholy. Rand’s vibrant paintings are visualizations of philosophical and spiritual questions. Inspired by Egyptian, Babylonian, and Talmudic interpretations of the number 36, every work on exhibit displays what’s most characteristic about a certain “misfit”—understood as a numinous being whose righteousness is craftily concealed by the foibles of everyday life. . Misfits is also about identity. Colorful scenes are portrayed as laughably sweet yet poignantly surreal, with only an indirect relationship to reality. These images are both divine and earthly, sociological and ritualistic. . Rand is currently Presidential Professor of Art at Brooklyn College, having previously been chair of the Department of Visual Arts at Columbia University, and awarded a Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship in 1999. Rand’s work has been the subject of national and international retrospectives at venues ranging from the Cincinnati Contemporary Art Center to the Museo Palazzo Ducale of Genoa. His works are held in many public collections, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Museum of Modern Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Art Institute of Chicago, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, The Smithsonian Institution, The Brooklyn Museum, The Carnegie Museum of Art, The Bibliotheque Nationale de France, The Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
