[bogkeep]

since there's an impressionist royal portrait in the zeitgeist right now, do you wanna hear about one of my fav norwegian oil painters........ his name is håkon gullvåg and he's painted portraits of the norwegian king and queen and they look like this

which were pretty controversial at the time (the year 2000), but i was too baby to know anything about it!

(the headline says "UNDIGNIFIED!")

i first heard of him when he was on the news for a completely different controversy around the years 2008/2009 - his exhibition titled 'the holy land'/'terra sancta' which was a series of paintings he had painted in a wild unstoppable rage over the injustices he had seen palestinians suffer. at one of the exhibitions in syra, two of the paintings got removed by the french embassy, and i think never returned to him? i'm finding it surprisingly difficult to hunt down the story without knowing exactly what to look for, but i did dig up this article. i was still a young teen at the time so i didn't know much about the context, but in recent times i've been thinking about these paintings a lot. i'll add the Controversial Paintings under the cut:

Hi!

Once again my stress of dealing with social media has made me neglect updates for a month, so!

Bit of a delay on the pansybeast pins since I needed to make some edits to the purple beastie but thankfully that's estimated to be in by the end of the month or very start of October. I would feel rather bad selling only two of the three considering how expensive shipping can be and don’t want to make people double dip into their money.

I also have some upcoming fall and winter exhibitions I’ve recently been invited to coming up so I’ve been working on that in the meantime!

Sorry for all the back and forth with the next opening, always seems to be something else to do that's important. Aiming to have the shop open again when the last of those pins are in!🤞

Next week: Spotlight on Conservation

Join us next Thursday, 19 September between 4-6p on the 6th floor of Hatcher for our first Third Thursdays at the Library event of the semester!

This event will feature recent conservation work on Special Collections materials.

The conservation department is responsible for the preservation of the library’s vast holdings of rare and special collection materials. The work they do includes preventive care activities, such as making protective boxes and enclosures for storage and constructing supports for items during exhibitions. They also perform treatments (the conservation term used to describe the repair process) on hundreds of items each year so the materials can be studied and appreciated by students, faculty, and other scholars.

Drop by for refreshments and a chance to chat with conservation colleagues who will be showcasing some of their recent projects, which include a variety of rare book treatments, housing projects that keep materials protected in storage, and figuring out how to care for oddities like a movie prop of a crying newborn baby. 

And be sure to check out the other Third Thursdays at the Library events!

Met Gala Info Post

I’m seeing a lot of people fundamentally misunderstanding the Met Gala so here we go:

The Met Gala is held the first Monday in May every year and serves as both the primary fundraiser for the Met’s Costume Institute and the opening of an exhibit, which runs for months after the Gala. The Gala raises millions of dollars for the Costume Institute every year, and completely funds it. The Costume Institute used to be separate from the Met, so they have separate budgets. 

It started in 1948, Diane Vreeland made it a society event in the 70′s and added themes, and it became a more elaborate costume-y event in the early 2000′s.

Anna Wintour has co-hosted it since 1995, and Conde Nast (Vogue’s parent company) is a sponsor, though there’s usually an additional corporate sponsor and additional famous co-chairs selected by Wintour. She has a hand in everything including the exhibit, guest list, seating arrangements, décor, performers, menu, and even what people wear.

Work on next year’s Met Gala starts on the first Tuesday in May, with the theme being one of the first issues decided on, since it needs to be coordinated with the exhibit. 

Tickets are invite-only, and cost $40,000 each. Designers, brands, and companies will often buy out tables and invite or “sponsor” attendees themselves, which often leads to celebrities being contractually obligated to wear the designer that invited them. The guest list is usually around 650-700 people total. 

Guests aren’t required to follow the theme. It’s technically not a costume ball. 

If you want to learn more, there’s a documentary called “The First Monday in May” about the history of the Met Gala and follows the planning of the 2015 “China: Through the Looking Glass” Gala

I've seen a lot of people talk about the concept of a formal SOLDIER uniform, and a handful have doodled it, but in general I see it portrayed as a more real-world classic European uniform—which looks great, but doesn't really track with the fact that the standard SOLDIER uniform, regardless of class, features like...faux-corsets and chest harnesses? Thigh-high boots?

If the standard uniform is slightly-repurposed fetish wear, I don't assume the formal uniform would be less dramatic.

Next week! Making Books with Virginia Woolf

Mrs. Dalloway, [Book jacket front and back], Henry W. and Albert A. Berg Collection of English and American Literature, The New York Public Library Digital Collections. 1925.

Join us with the library's Book Arts Studio on the Diag (or in the Shapiro Gallery if it rains!) next Thursday, 12 September at 5p to print your own copy of the first page of Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway.

It's widely known that Virginia Woolf was a writer, but she also started a press out of her home with her husband, Leonard, called the Hogarth Press. The couple bought a small letterpress and set it up in their dining room, producing many of Woolf's books, including Mrs. Dalloway. Hogarth Press ran for nearly 30 years before being absorbed by a larger publisher. Having their own press allowed the Woolfs to decide what got published and get it out into the world directly, something still shared by small presses today. 

This printing event is being offered in conjunction with the exhibit Mrs. Dalloway and WWI: Home Front and War Front, on display in the Hatcher Gallery Exhibit Room (1st floor, Hatcher Graduate Library) from 3 September until 13 December 2024. 

We hope to see you there!
