James Kalm invites viewers to tour "Ecce Homo: Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt and the Art of Rebellion".  This exhibition examines the history of Gay Art and its precedents and influences on the mainstream with a focus on the art of Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt.  As an activist and participant in the Stonewall riots, Lanigan-Schmidt is a part of a long and rich history of art and artists expressing their gay identities.  Examples of works by Jack Smith and Florine Stettheimer are presented as well as that by contemporaries and a younger generation of artists.   Lanigan-Schmidt's unique use of found materials like tinfoil, cellophane, glitter and pipe cleaners have opened new dimensions of color, and surface, and been employed by groups of younger artists, questioning the standards of aesthetics.
