Haendel uses graphite to copy found images from ads, labels, newspapers, and tabloids, roping various elements into a single context. This collection, the Mazel Tov Group from 2006-7, is a sort of "collage" of disparate images spread over the gallery.

- Peelander-Z, The Subjunctives
Childhood nostalgia plays a big role in the manic blitzkrieg that is a Peelander-Z show. To be reductive, the Japanese group plays the kind of simple pop-punk that tends to come out of high-school practice rooms. Their stage gimmick reaches back to puberty, as well. The band performs as a color-coordinated Sentai-style superhero team—Power Rangers is the most common example of this trope in the United States. But Peelander-Z’s live show is no joke. In addition to choreographed theatrics, they play with reckless abandon, sometimes hurting themselves while jumping from amplifiers or second-story balconies. JOSEPH SCHAEFER PERFORMANCE
