SUMMARY:Love Among the Ruins
DESCRIPTION:56 Bleecker Gallery and Late 80s New York\nPresented by Some Serious Business \nand Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project \nSeptember 10–October 7\, 2017 \nOpening Reception:\nSunday\, September 10 / 4–7 PM \nO heart! oh blood that freezes\, blood that burns!\nEarth’s returns\nFor whole centuries of folly\, noise and sin!\nShut them in\,\nWith their triumphs and their glories and the rest!\nLove is best.\n—Robert Browning\, Love Among The Ruins \nLet’s also say that change is neither good or bad. It simply is. It can be greeted with terror or joy. A tantrum that says\, ‘I want it the way it was’ or a dance that says\, ‘Look\, it’s something new.’\n—Don Draper\, Mad Men (AMC) \nSome Serious Business and Howl! Happening are pleased to present Love Among The Ruins: 56 Bleecker Gallery and late 80s New York\, co-curated by Susan Martin\, founding director of Some Serious Business; Bill Stelling\, 56 Bleecker gallery director and founder of the groundbreaking FUN Gallery with Patti Astor; and artist and exhibition designer\, Maynard Monrow. All three curators were close friends of Dean Rolston\, co-owner of 56 Bleecker who died of AIDS and serves as inspiration for the exhibition. \nArtists included in the retrospective are: Austė\, Suzanne Anker\, Donald Baechler\, Sylvie Ball\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Julian Beck\, Bill Beckley\, Mike Berg\, John Bowman\, Jeff Carpenter\, Stefano Castronovo\, George Condo\, Arch Connelly\, Bruce Conner\, Scott Covert\, Ingrid Dinter\, Arnold Fern\, Vincent Gallo\, Graham Gillmore\, Allen Ginsberg\, Nan Goldin\, Eric Goode\, Robert Hawkins\, Roberto Juarez\, Scott Kilgour\, Ruth Kligman\, Norman Korpi\, Joyce Kozloff\, Tseng Kwong Chi\, David LaChapelle\, Greer Lankton\, Claire Lieberman\, Daniel Mahoney\, Frank Majore\, Fidel Márquez\, Sylvia Martins\, McDermott & McGough\, Taylor Mead\, Nicholas Mouffarrege\, David Nelson\, Felix Pène du Bois\, Jeff Perrone\, Elizabeth Peyton\, William Rand\, Elaine Reichek\, Rene Ricard\, Bill Rice\, Alexis Rockman\, Nicolas Rule\, Vittorio Scarpati\, Bruno Schmidt\, Jo Shane\, Mark Sink\, Stephen Sprouse\, Ken Tisa\, Noel Vietor\, William Wegman\, Dondi White\, Martin Wong\, Thomas Woodruff\, and Jimmy Wright. \n56 Bleecker Gallery held a unique position in the late 80’s art world. Part serious gallery\, part happening\, the space was a scene that reflected the explosive intersection of art\, performance\, music\, fashion and the incredible nightlife culture of that era. While it was a time of enormous creativity\, it was also one of deep sorrow. The exhibition is meant to focus upon the impact of the AIDS epidemic on our community at a time when lights dimmed as dear friends\, colleagues\, and role models succumbed to the disease. \nFeaturing many of the most cutting edge artists of the time\, such as Stephen Sprouse and David LaChapelle\, it also presented rigorously serious shows of artists like Bruce Conner and Elaine Reichek. The space was a forum for nightclub impresario Eric Goode to produce an installation that was a window into his future endeavors. Taylor Mead directed the gallery’s historic performance of Jackie Curtis’ Glamour\, Glory and Gold featuring legendary actors Ondine\, John Heys\, Penny Arcade\, Harry Koutoukas and Margot Howard-Howard. \n56 Bleecker was a ‘scene’ as much as a venue for art. Openings featured guests as diverse as Stavros Niarchos\, Richard Gere\, Lauren Hutton\, Fab 5 Freddy and Henry Geldzahler. Rene Ricard held court in the famous ‘Tin Room\,’ anointing those in favor and banishing his enemies to NoHo Star. \nThe historical sweep and significance of this retrospective will recreate the excitement of the era through a thoughtful curation of artists’ work\, archival material\, performance recreations\, video reminiscence\, and other special events including a new production of Jackie Curtis’ Glamour\, Glory and Gold directed by Brian Butterick. Love Among the Ruins is produced by Some Serious Business especially for Howl! Happening. \nA fully illustrated catalog will accompany the show with essays and commentary on the times by Penny Arcade\, Tom Breidenbach\, Susan Martin\, Carlo McCormick\, Maynard Monroe\, Sylvia Myles\, Jeff Perrone\, Ariana Reines\, Adam Rolston\, Bill Stelling\, and Linda Yablonsky. Some Serious Business will also publish Dean’s memoir\, “Remembering Dying”—a memento mori of Dean’s death from AIDS—with drawings made especially for the book by Austė. \nSome Serious Business will also publish Rolston’s memoir\, Remembering Dying with drawings made especially for the book by Austė. A memento mori of Dean’s death from AIDS\, it is a tribute to a remarkable man and a metaphor for all of those we lost. \nSpecial Events\nLove Among The Ruins Panel Discussion: Sunday\, September 17th – 4 PM\nGlamour\, Glory and Gold performance: Friday\, September 22nd – 7 PM\nGlamour\, Glory and Gold performance: Saturday\, September 23rd – 7 PM\nAn Evening of Poetry Noir (Poets TBA): Thursday\, September 28th – 7 PM \nSome Serious Business: The Artist Always Comes First\nFounded at the height of the Conceptual 70s\, Some Serious Business incubates emergent expression in the arts\, germinates intrepid new works and ideas\, and presents diverse projects that celebrate audacity\, experimentation\, and surprise. SSB’s core artist-driven programs and partnerships are both catalysts and sanctuaries that sustain visionary creators and thought-leaders. Based on the principle that the artist always comes first\, SSB supports hybrids and chimeras that traverse performance\, literature\, theater\, dance\, visual art\, moving image\, music\, architecture and design\, social practice\, and fields of unforeseen possibilities. Guided by eggheads and free spirits who value collaboration\, SSB is as much about process as outcomes. From the ridiculous to the sublime\, SSB revels in the creative process—embarking with artists and fellow travelers to explore the puzzles\, mysteries\, messiness\, challenges\, dialogue\, and peak experiences along the way. \nAbout Some Serious Business\nAbout Howl!

SUMMARY:Love Among the Ruins Closing Party featuring performances by John Kelly and Joseph Keckler
DESCRIPTION:Some Serious Business and Howl! Happening are pleased to celebrate Love Among the Ruins with a culminating performance by two masterful performers: John Kelly and Joseph Keckler. Kelly performs excerpts from Time No Line\, a solo performance work presented as a live memoir. Keckler will perform three of his original arias and songs\, invoking themes of place\, loss\, self\, and lineage. \n  \nKelly’s Time No Line focuses on how we can identify collective histories through the experience of an individual. This new solo performance work integrates movement\, song\, live drawing\, and interactions with projected texts and images as the components of a live dramatic autobiographical narrative. The work utilizes themes and details of John Kelly’s personal history as a survivor of a generation of artists that emerged out of the East Village performance scene of the 1980s and was subsequently decimated by the AIDS pandemic. One of the goals of this work is to focus on and contribute to a rift in the larger cultural and social continuity\, and encourage dialogue. \n  \nKeckler’s performances have been described by The New York Times as shattering “the conventional boundaries of classical singing [with] the sensibility of a magician\, a trickster’s dark humor\, and a formidable musical and literary erudition. Major vocal talent.” The Huffington Post commented: “Riveting and beautifully absurd\, Keckler singlehandedly has the power and chops to legitimately modernize a dying art form.” \n  \nAbout John Kelly \nJohn Kelly is a performance and visual artist. He has created over 30 group and solo theatrical performance works including Pass The Blutwurst\, Bitte; Find My Way Home; and Paved Paradise: The Art of Joni Mitchell. Awards and fellowships include two Bessie Awards\, two Obie Awards\, an USA Artists Award\, and two NEA American Masterpieces Awards. Fellowships include The American Academy in Rome\, The Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study\, The Guggenheim Foundation\, and The Sundance Institute Theatre. Acting credits include the Broadway production of James Joyce’s The Dead (Bartell D’Arcy); Dog Days (Prince)\, an opera by David Little; and The Clerk’s Tale (Spencer Reese)\, a film by James Franco. He is currently completing a graphic novel\, A Friend Gave Me A Book\, and recently released his first solo recording\, Beauty Kills Me\, on the Strange Troubadours label. \n  \nAbout Joseph Keckler \nJoseph Keckler is a singer\, humorist\, songwriter\, and artist who has garnered acclaim for his rich\, versatile 3-plus octave voice and sharp wit. He often combines humor\, autobiography and classical forms and themes. The Village Voice named him “Best Downtown Performance Artist” and The New York Times declared him a “major vocal talent” who “shatters conventional boundaries.” Joseph has been featured on BBC America’s The Nerdist and WNYC Soundcheck\, and has recently appeared at venues including SXSW\, UCB Theatre\, Centre Pompidou\, BAM\, Third Man Records\, PEN American Center\, Art Basel Miami\, Merkin Concert Hall\, and many others. Joseph has received residencies from MacDowell Colony and Yaddo; as well as an award from Creative Capital; a Franklin Furnace grant; and a Fellowship in Interdisciplinary Work from the New York Foundation for the Arts. He recently made his Off-Broadway debut in Preludes at Lincoln Center. He is currently working on a new EP and videos. A book of his writing\, Dragon at the Edge of a Flat World\, is forthcoming from Turtle Point Press late this year.
