SUMMARY:TABBOO! New Paintings!
DESCRIPTION:“Tabboo!’s portraits have an arresting honesty.“\n—Sean Mellyn\, Bomb\, 2013\nHowl! Happening is pleased to present a series of new paintings by Tabboo!—a creative force in the Downtown/East Village/Alphabet City worlds of art\, performance\, and nightclubs for close to 35 years. Well known as a painter\, Tabboo!’s subjects have ranged from still lifes to cityscapes—and he is renowned for his portraits. On view will be 14 portraits of Tabboo’s closest friends\, giving these new works an immediacy and potent emotional charge. \nThe portraits’ expressionist tone and vibrancy are embued with the innermost thoughts and personality of both the artist and the sitters. In these portraits of his friends\, we see Tabboo!’s own exuberant personality and his close\, personal relationship to his subjects. The portraits capture his intimates with a fresh\, emphathetic eye\, expressing their essential personality and the psychic depth beneath the painted surface of the linen. Poignant and loving\, they are a record of a cross-section of his friends—some well known in the downtown scene\, others just part of his tribe—and also a tribute to the creativity and continuum of culture that is alive and thriving—right here\, right now! \nTabboo!’s portraits recall the style of Alice Neel and Diane Arbus . . . Similar to Arbus\, there is a poignancy to Tabboo!’s portrayal of his subjects. They are shown alone and isolated in empty space. They connect directly to the viewer. Like Alice Neel\, Tabboo! foreshortens arms\, he adds vernacular details\, he brings out the warmth and domesticity of the setting\, and the networks of friendships.\n                               —Rupert Goldsworthy\, Tabboo! catalog essay \nLoaded with symbolism and emotive brushwork\, these portraits bring out magical details of the sitters’ inner and outer lives. The paintings vibrate with an uncanny life force. Clearly Tabboo! knows these people well! \nAlongside Mark Morrisroe\, Nan Goldin and Jack Pierson\, Tabboo! was a member of the so-called Boston School. Arriving at the wide open creative arena of the East Village in the 80s\, Tabboo!’s work is a riotous mixture of DIY energy and high camp. He has collaborated with countless artists\, musicians\, writers\, and performers and his distinctive style has had a profound impact on leading cultural figures of his generation. \nProlific in a way that borders on compulsivity\, [Tabboo!] was not only one of the most imaginative figures in the early-’80s East Village art scene: he also illustrated our world\, lending his hand to the cover art of era-defining records by the likes of Deee-Lite and Book of Love and producing a seemingly infinite array of flyers and ads for the most celebrated nightclubs of the day\, like the Pyramid Club and Mudd Club. He was just as likely to be found inside those clubs\, designing their interiors or commanding the stage as Tabboo! Of all that\, [Tabboo!] simply says\, ‘I worked in nightclubs when nightlife actually mattered.’\n                                    —Carlo McCormick\, Paper magazine\, 2013 \nTabboo! continues to make his mark. He recently expanded his artistic range in a collaboration with Marc Jacobs on a collection featuring his signature work. Tabboo! and the collection have been featured in an article by Tama Janowitz in August’s Harpers Bazaar and will also be featured in Le Monde in September. His work will be included in the Museum of Modern Art’s upcoming exhibition about the legendary Club 57 and his book Tabboo! was published by Damiani on the occasion of his major exhibition at Participant\, Inc. (New York). He has also had major shows at the University of Nevada\, Reno; AMP Market\, Provincetown; Vox Populi\, Philadelphia; Gallery Mitterand\, Paris; Gavlak Gallery\, Los Angeles; and The Museum of Santiago de Compostela\, Spain. \n“The great thing about being an artist is the freedom to be myself\,” he says. \nSPECIAL EVENT\nOctober 27\, 2016 / 7 PM\nFall Costume Extravaganza Produced and Directed by Tabboo!\nAn artsy\, over the top drag show in the style of classic Hollywood glamour\, the costume extravaganza will feature Agosto Machado\, Brandon Olson\, Flloyd\, Trish Astor\, Bobbie\, Soigne\, and\, of course\, Tabboo! A tribute to old-school queens\, expect tons of sequins\, yards of tulle\, and feathers galore. Check Howl! Happening’s website for updates. \nA fully illustrated catalog with texts by Rupert Goldsworthy\, Brandon Olson\, and others accompanies the show. \nVideo of Tabboo! talking about his artistic process here.

SUMMARY:Writers Block 2016 Presents Paul Iacono  The Last Great Dame 
DESCRIPTION:October 18\, 2016 / 7 PM \nPart of the 2016 Writers Block staged reading and performance festival\nA New Play \nWhat does it mean to be a performing artist—first\, last and always? Broadway legend Luella Merritt can answer that. When the 88-year-old firecracker injures herself weeks before opening night of her latest (and probably last) Broadway musical\, the show is put on hold. Her indomitable will to perform is challenged further when the show’s producer and longtime friend\, Langston Moorehead\, is quoted blaming the accident on Luella’s lifetime battle with booze. \nMaking matters worse\, Merritt’s longtime assistant suddenly quits\, citing years of abuse. While bitterly recovering alone at her residence at the Regency\, Luella serendipitously reencounters Chip\, a young struggling actor she shared the stage with a decade prior. As Merritt convinces Chip to become her assistant and help her save the show\, an unlikely bond flourishes in this madcap comedic-drama about an almost forgotten legend’s last days surviving showbiz. The story is loosely inspired by my relationship with the late\, great\, Elaine Stritch. \nA graduate of Manhattan’s Professional Performing Arts High School\, Iacono is best known for his portrayal of the title character on MTV’s The Hard Times of RJ Berger. Paul was first featured on The Rosie O’Donnell Show at age eight\, after she discovered his unique talents for impersonating Frank Sinatra and Ethel Merman. Favorite stage credits include Mercury Fur (The New Group)\, Bridget Everett’s Rock Bottom at The Public Theater\, Noël Coward’s Sail Away starring Elaine Stritch at Carnegie Hall\, Mame opposite Christine Ebersole at The Paper Mill Play House\, as well as Children of Eden (Original Cast Recording)\, Transport Group’s The Dark at the Top of the Stairs with Donna Lynne Champlin\, and Michele Pawk and John Guare’s Landscape of the Body at Signature Theater starring Lili Taylor and Sherie Rene Scott. \nOn the big screen Paul starred in MGM’s remake of Fame\, Drew Barrymore’s Animal\, Darren Stein’s G.B.F. and is upcoming in “Baked In Brooklyn\,” “Delinquents\,” and “Dating My Mother” with Kathy Najimy. He was also seen last year on HBO’s Girls. \nIacono’s first written play\, Prince/Elizabeth\, premiered at The Teatro LATEA Theater\, and his musical memoir\, Where’s The Fucking Kid? with John McDaniel at 54 Below. Currently\, Paul is premiering his newest cabaret show\, Psychedelic Hedonism\, at Joe’s Pub on Tuesday\, September 6th. He hosts a bi-weekly Wednesday night party\, “HUMP” at Rumpus Room on the Lower East Side\, ranked second best gay dance party by New York magazine.

HELP\, providing emergency financial assistance and social service support to artists who have made or continue to make their careers in New York’s East Village and Lower East Side arts communities. Howl! HELP is administered by the Actors Fund and 100% ticket sales benefit the Actors Fund.
