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!

SUMMARY:Vangeline Theater  Queer Butoh - Transcending the Identity of Sex
DESCRIPTION:November 9th and 10th / 7 PM / Free\nPerformances by Malin Andreasson\, Will Atkins\, Mandy Caughey\, Shawn Escarciga\, and Davey Mitchell. \nPanel Discussion with the artists following the performances moderated by Vangeline\, Founder of New York  Butoh Institute and Artistic Director of Vangeline Theater and Brian Butterick\, actor\, singer\, Downtown legend.\nAdditional panelists: Ranardo-Domeico Grays\, Artistic Director of VISIONS Contemporary Ballet\, and CUNY actor/dancer Rafael Liriano. \nHowl! Happening in association with The New York Butoh Institute and The Vangeline Theater is pleased to present an evening of Butoh performances and community discussion with five LGBT/Queer Butoh artists. The two evenings feature performances followed by a panel discussion. The artists will talk about how Butoh has been instrumental in articulating or facing the unique challenges they face as LGBT artists. \n“Butoh is essentially the dance of the marginalized\, and the LGBT population is still largely marginalized in the world\,” says Vangeline France\, curator of this series. “Most of these artists feel that they found a place of freedom and acceptance through Butoh and it was important to give them a voice to express this.” \nIn Butoh\, the desire to play with notions of both “masculine” and “feminine” has been expressed in performance methodology by both male and female artists. The five contemporary artists will create new work and speak about how they integrate Butoh into their art and lives. \nAt its origin\, the introduction of Butoh in Japan was widely controversial. The first Butoh performance Kinjiki (Forbidden Colors)\, created by Tatsumi Hijikata in 1958\, caused deep repulsion amongst its spectators. Inspired by the work of homosexual author Jean Genet\, Kinjiki took its name and inspiration from Yukio Mishima’s book Forbidden Color and dealt with homosexuality\, a profoundly taboo subject at the time. \nFeatured performers will be: \nMalin Andreasson\nI feel that there are parts in me which are damaged because of the constant daily impression of how a woman should be\, look like\, act like\, live like…I find that Butoh is helping me as a femme queer artist feel that I am allowed to merge in whichever sex or sexuality I want.  \nWill Atkins (Thurs\, Nov. 10 only)\nWhile I feel like other performance genres allow me to explore certain facets at certain times\, Butoh allows me to access a space within myself that is everything and nothing. This includes aspects I sometimes feel closed off to\, including my sexuality; a part of myself I sometimes find myself at odds with.   \nMandy Caughey\nDespite my absolute attraction to women\, I often struggle with feeling like I fully fit in with the LGBTQ identity…. In dancing Butoh\, I fit in. I feel completely secure and absolute in my sense of self and sexuality. All my questions cease as my body answers.   \n Shawn Escarciga (Wed\, Nov. 9 only)\nButoh is a form and a discipline that allows me to express my “otherness” safely without label\, without gender\, without restriction of time and place. It has been a validating process for me that is ongoing—I am allowed to be what I am and continue to unfold into more of myself without fear of persecution\, rejection or violence.   \n Davey Mitchell\n“There is no place like HOME\,” is the phrase that comes to mind when I think of Butoh. “Home” in the sense of finding one’s self—a completeness of being\, and within that being is your journey\, your life experiences\, struggles and accomplishments\, happiness and sorrow.    \nARTISTS BIOS and MORE ABOUT QUEER BUTOH \n PHOTO: @ 2011 Michael Blase
