Sexy Trippy Holiday Market - Two Days, Two Cities

Back for our third year, the Sexy Trippy Holiday Art Market burns bright with booths by new friends, artists and olde-time favorites. For the first time ever we will be hosting two events. One will be in Chapel Hill on our rooftop (Sat 12/3) and the other will be held the following day at Lump in Raleigh (Sun 12/4). This year’s offerings represent a variety of limited edition and handmade products and artwork. Stuff your own stockings with fun stuff like realistic ceramic cigarettes, poetry books, goth-inspired jewelry, flint-knapped knives, painted clothing, cryptic t-shirts, and beautifully printed risographs and screenprints. We’ll have live music and hope to see a lot of friends.

Paul McMahon: It Takes a While to Figure Out Who You Really Are- at Lump Gallery

November 30 - December 29

Artist Reception and performance : Friday, December 7, 6 - 9pm

Lump is proud to present painting, sculpture, video and a performance by Paul McMahon. The exhibition will open Friday, November 30, 6 - 9pm. An Artist Reception and performance by McMahon will occur Friday, December 7, 6 - 9pm.

In 1982 Paul McMahon (b. 1950) and Nancy Chunn created 10 large paintings. McMahon and Chunn refer to these works as SONG PAINTINGS. Each painting is a very literal illustration of its song. These paintings were originally intended to be backdrops for McMahon’s performance of these songs. They were used for that purpose only once, at Artists Space in New York City in May of 1982. The two main subjects are vicious art world gossip and cute little songs about animals.

Accompanying the mass installation of these paintings, Lump will present a multitude of video, 2-D work and sculpture that trace the various incarnations of McMahon’s career through the years to present day. McMahon (cat toy enthusiast) has performed as a giant potato, administered advice as a rock n’ roll therapist and has been banned from public access television for showing a human anus. He is a Pictures Generation artist and works as a mailman on Saturdays.

Paul McMahon lives and works in Woodstock, NY where he runs an artist bed and breakfast called the Mothership.

We have two of his books in store: Welcome to Woodstock & Project inc. Revisited.
