To be prostrate is relaxing and also vulnerable. To be spread eagle is a position of defiance and also softness. Step with John Pizza into a regimented circle for What Goes Around Comes Around\, and in a measured way\, let go by holding on. \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer. He uses trash and thrift-store detritus scrounged in his Brooklyn neighborhood to tell stories and make his shows. He loves the macabre and the mushy sweet. His sculptures are performative\, and his performances involve sculptures—an object theatre of weird surprises.  \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nPerformance is anything done with purpose and style. —Tom Murrin \nHowl! Happening is home to the archive of Tom Murrin\, aka Alien Comic\, Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon without fail\, paid booking or not\, in all seasons and whatever the weather\, he performed his Luna Macaroona Full Moon Show. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as guests—pushing the careers of groundbreaking performers like David Cale\, David Sedaris\, Amy Sedaris\, Blue Man Group\, Ethyl Eichelberger\, Lisa Kron\, and many others. When he didn’t have a club date\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic.

I suppose I wanted attention.  \nThese days I’m blessed. I’m a grown-ass man and really have some good things going for me. But being an attention-seeker had its perks. It was a really creative place to live in and much more spontaneous. Maybe I wanna get back to that. \n—John Pizza \nJoin John Pizza for Little Yellow Demon\, a video piece with puppets where he reconvenes with his high-school demon self to rehash some of his old antics. Shake off some rust and climb the walls with him. \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer. He uses trash and thrift-store detritus scrounged in his Brooklyn neighborhood to tell stories and make his shows. He loves the macabre and the mushy sweet. His sculptures are performative\, and his performances involve sculptures—an object theatre of weird surprises.  \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nPerformance is anything done with purpose and style. —Tom Murrin \nHowl! Happening is home to the archive of Tom Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic and the Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon—without fail\, paid booking or not\, in all seasons and whatever the weather—he performed his Luna Macaroona Full Moon Show. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as guests—pushing the careers of such groundbreaking performers as David Cale\, David Sedaris\, Amy Sedaris\, Blue Man Group\, Ethyl Eichelberger\, Lisa Kron\, and many others. When he didn’t have a club date\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic.

The series is presented virtually via Zoom\, and you are invited to get your art supplies together and follow along. \nCollage Portraits: Antony Zito is a three-part online workshop series inviting participants to make a collage portrait. Meeting consecutively for three weeks on Wednesday evenings from 7–8:15 p.m.\, each session conducted by Zito builds on skills explored in the previous one\, culminating in the completion of a final collage. Registration is required. \nClick Here To Register \nOscar Wilde by Antony Zito\nCheck out the workshop series outline below from Antony Zito: \n \nZito: \nWe will work primarily at creating a painted portrait rendered from a photo and then add collage around the face\, both in the background or in the body\, hair\, or other parts of the figure. \nThe concept that unfolds while bringing collage elements into a painted portrait is one of creating layered narratives and hidden vignettes.

A new year dawns and the streets are littered with the skeletons of 7-year-olds. Some five-feet\, six-feet\, seven-feet tall\, dried and discarded\, with a few silvery wisps\, uprooted and present-less. Once majestically decorated and well-lit\, now nobody cares about January’s Skeletons… \n  …until John Pizza comes along and scoops them up. \nJoin John Pizza for his newest full-moon performance documentary\, January’s Skeletons. Watch as he collects\, processes\, and hangs up the delicate trunks of our joyful past. With installation help from fellow artist Everett Brown\, he will create a fleeting sculpture. A jangling set of bones to face the winter. \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer. He uses trash and thrift-store detritus scrounged in his Brooklyn neighborhood to tell stories and make his shows. He loves the macabre and the mushy sweet. His sculptures are performative\, and his performances involve sculptures—an object theatre of weird surprises.  \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nPerformance is anything done with purpose and style. —Tom Murrin \nHowl! Happening is home to the archive of Tom Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic and the Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon—without fail\, paid booking or not\, in all seasons and whatever the weather—he performed his Luna Macaroona Full Moon Show. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as guests—pushing the careers of such groundbreaking performers as David Cale\, David Sedaris\, Amy Sedaris\, Blue Man Group\, Ethyl Eichelberger\, Lisa Kron\, and many others. When he didn’t have a club date\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic.

Howl Arts will release Gray’s latest album—Last of the Beats—this summer. The concert is presented in conjunction with the MFA Boston exhibition Writing the Future: Basquiat and the Hip-Hop Generation. The event is streaming here and on Facebook and YouTube. \nIn 1979\, artists Jean-Michel Basquiat and Michael Holman founded the industrial noise band Gray in downtown New York. Basquiat named the band after the medical textbook Gray’s Anatomy—an important reference for his visual artwork and an apt descriptor for the band’s spectral\, beat- and body-driven performances. Today\, Holman and original member Nick Taylor make up the band and carry its legacy forward. \nIn partnership with the Keith Haring Foundation\, the MFA presents Gray’s first-ever virtual performance\, featuring collaborators Deantoni Parks and Roger Guenveur Smith. Footage recorded in New York\, Los Angeles\, and Atlanta is broadcast live\, creating a multidisciplinary experience of sound\, film\, poetry\, beat\, and body language. Anything can be an instrument—just as it was for Basquiat\, Holman\, and Taylor at the band’s inception—and all sounds emanating from their instruments become art. \n@mfaboston \n#writingthefuture \nImage: Gray by Robert Northway URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/first-ever-virtual-performance-by-gray/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Happening Soon,Special Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.howlarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/Gray_By-Robert-Northway.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20210110 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20210115 DTSTAMP:20260603T231741 CREATED:20201204T033146Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201223T223024Z UID:10000579-1610236800-1610668799@www.howlarts.org SUMMARY:Haunting Portraits by Helen Oliver at Untitled DESCRIPTION:Untitled: Art Miami Beach OVR 2020 \nDecember 2 — December 6\, 2020 \nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present the large-scale\, theatrical paintings of Helen Oliver that depict friends\, family\, and acquaintances—speaking to the inner life of her subjects in expressionistic paintings that are eccentric\, emotional\, and at times\, grotesque.  \nMost often the alchemy that produces a poem or \na work of fiction is hidden within the work itself\, \nif not embedded in the coiling ridges of the mind.\n—Patti Smith\, Devotion \n“Oliver intuitively unleashes and then contains a concentrated area of energy that she discovers within the character of each person\, and which eventually resides in the completed portrait. The alchemy in Oliver’s work is thus hidden\, embedded in the coiling ridges of the image as well as the viewer’s mind\, a phenomenon that corresponds to the alchemy that writer and musician Patti Smith has observed in the creation of a poem or a work of fiction.” —David Ebony\, from his catalog essay\, “Humanist Alchemy”\, Howl! Happening (2020) \nOliver’s monumental portraits—often in the nude—are hallucinatory\, bordering on the surreal\, yet their psychological depth “feels utterly truthful\, despite the strange distortions\,” says Ebony. Tapping the vanguard of the artistic and performance-art world of the Lower East Side\, on view are an array of oil paintings of people integral to that scene including Hapi Phace\, Mark Koval\, and her playwright brother\, Edgar Oliver\, for whom she has done stage-set designs\, many of which premiered at La MaMa\, and The Pyramid Cocktail Lounge. “In New York I painted my friends\, East Village performers\, artists\, drag queens\,” she says. \nOliver’s blithe\, bohemian character imbues her paintings with an imaginative narrative and style that is evocative of German Expressionism\, particularly the work of Egon Schiele and Paula Modersohn-Becker\, but she cites other important influences in the Renaissance masters Giotto\, Bartolomeo Montagna\, and Sandro Botticelli. Her work breaks with traditional portraiture through its intense emotional power—elongated\, twisted postures and undulating lines and exaggerated brushstrokes suggest hidden dimensions in the sitter. \nAn air of whimsy permeates the portrait of her brother Edgar as harlequin\, while languid nudes stare frankly at the viewer. Raised by an eccentric and reclusive mother in Savannah\, Georgia\, there is also a distinct Southern-Gothic air that permeates her work. “There is a theatrical quality to Helen Oliver’s paintings\, their scale and earthy palette recalling\, in one glance\, those eerily charmed circus or movie marquee posters of yesteryear\,” says Tom Briedenbach. “This feels especially true of her portraits\, which loom large enough to engulf the viewer in the formal contortions of their […] subjects.” \nOliver was a founder of Pompeii Gallery on 10th Street (and later Forsyth Street) in New York City in the mid 80s. She has exhibited in New York\, Paris\, and Lucerne\, and has painted three rooms at the Carlton Arms Hotel. Originally from Savannah\, she moved to New York in the late 70s after studying in Paris and receiving a B.A. from The George Washington University in Washington\, D.C. She now divides her time between New York and Tarquinia\, Italy\, where she makes her home. \nImage: Edgar\, ca. 1985\, Oil on canvas\, 75 x 55½ inches URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/haunting-portraits-by-helen-oliver-at-untitled/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Happening Soon ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.howlarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/helen-oliver-at-untitled-portrait-of-edgar.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20201222T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20201222T210000 DTSTAMP:20260603T231741 CREATED:20201203T235542Z LAST-MODIFIED:20201223T223048Z UID:10000581-1608667200-1608670800@www.howlarts.org SUMMARY:HOWL!

Howl! Happening presents a new painting series by the artist—Spanish Fly—where an exploration of Francisco de Goya’s work and life become visual narrative front and center.  \nSpanish Fly grows out of LaForge’s interest in Goya\, a painter who was also a commentator of his times. Goya’s insistence on subjectivity and emotion is mirrored on the murals LaForge painted in his New York East Village apartment during the early days of the coronavirus pandemic. Those murals include several references to Goya’s Black Paintings\, which the Spaniard executed toward the end of his life as a meditation on human bleakness.   \nLaForge’s latest painting series is an antidote to the darkness. The artist explores Goya works that tap into eroticism and social observation. An intuitive mash-up of Goya with themes and characters dear to the artist\, LaForge deliberately chooses to keep the paintings expressive\, exploding with light and color.  \nSecret Gift\, a painting based on Goya’s Maja desnuda—considered indecent in its time and possibly commissioned by a member of the clergy—takes the famous figure of the nude woman outdoors\, where a monkey from Goya’s Caprichos aquatint series serenades her\, along with a clothed raven.  \nThe larger-scale portrait Goya\, 69 is based on the Spaniard’s 1804 self-portrait. A sense of forced feminization is applied to the subject with brushstrokes evoking bright\, playful makeup in reds and shocking pinks. Butterflies seem to have flown in from Prince Carlos\, an equestrian fantasy portrait of Kafka-esque transformation that continues this series. \nAnother portrait\, Till Death\, portrays a gender-fluid character at their vanity mirror getting ready for a night out. The painting presents layers of references: an aquatint from Caprichos inspired an unknown artist to render a painting that in turn became LaForge’s starting point for his painting. Ogling men from the original mysterious work are replaced with bulls from another Caprichos image. The portrait pulls the series back into the darkness of the Black Paintings\, this time illuminated by a candle sourced from another of the Spaniard’s works.   \nWhere Is Goya’s Head? completes LaForge’s series by using the composition of Dog\, one of Goya’s Black Paintings\, as a template to take an imaginative leap into portraying the court painter’s solitary head with lit candles on the brim of his hat—a secret method for night-painting that gave his portraits a special luminosity. Allegorically\, the candles provide light to a reference from Still Life With Golden Bream\, one of Goya’s few still lifes\, now part of a multilayered visual poem on the mind of the Spanish master.  \nInternalizing the painterly references of Goya\, the spontaneous brush work and allegorical subject matter reflect LaForge’s complex and intuitive style\, referencing the grotesque with humor\, while creating a 21st century visual narrative for these darkest of times. \n  \nAbout Scooter LaForge \nScooter LaForge was born in Las Cruces\, New Mexico\, and moved to New York City in 2001 for a Cooper Union residency. He has lived in the East Village for the past 19 years. In 2015\, the LaForge was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. He is a frequent collaborator with artists and designers of various disciplines\, among them his friend\, designer Patricia Field; filmmaker Kenneth Anger; painter Bjarne Melgaard; and designer Walter Van Beirendonck. LaForge has also designed costumes for musicians such as Madonna\, Debbie Harry\, Missy Elliot\, and Miley Cyrus. Recent exhibitions include Homo Eruptus at Howl! Happening\, New York; Creation of the Animals at Empirical Nonsense\, New York; Elsewhere Paintings at Nancy Littlejohn Fine Arts\, Houston\, Texas; and The Odyssey at Jealous Gallery\, London. LaForge is in the collections of the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art and Beth Rudin DeWoody. \nImage: Secret Gift\, 2020.

Happening\nPresented by Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project \nWith the recent landscape of plywood\, the vibrancy of our history and our neighborhood has also been shuttered. I envision the Bowery and Second Avenue\, and all the streets in our neighborhood that have been boarded over\, becoming a beautiful museum or gallery of art—free for the public\, which has not had any opportunity to look at art firsthand in over 100 days. —Sono Kuwayama \nAfter the tragic death of George Floyd\, impassioned citizens in cities around the world rose up together in a call for justice. The streets became the backdrop for our collective mourning\, our outrage\, and our plea for change. Opportunistic agitators took advantage of peaceful demonstrations and forced many businesses to board up storefronts all over New York. On the Bowery\, a neighborhood with the reputation of creating beauty out of strife\, the plywood barriers became windows into the hearts of the neighborhood’s artists.  \nBringing Back Bowery: Public Art as Protest is a re-presentation of public artworks made in solidarity with the protest movement fighting for racial equality and police reform. This exhibition includes artworks by Izhar Patkin\, Robert Blodgett\, and Sono Kuwayama\, as well as collaborations by James Rubio and Hitomi Nakamura; Pamela Sneed and Gail Thacker; and Maya Edelman\, Scooter LaForge\, and Sono Kuwayama.  \nThe exhibition will be on view at Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project beginning Thursday\, August 13 through Sunday\, August 30\, from 11 AM–6 PM. To ensure the safety of our visitors\, we will be limiting entry to 10 people at any one time.  \nVISITORS MUST WEAR MASKS\, MAINTAIN SOCIAL DISTANCING\, AND REGISTER UPON ENTRY (providing their name and email address or phone number).  TEMPERATURES WILL BE TAKEN AT THE FRONT DOOR.

Performance on the edge\, Full Moon Shows showcase young talent and seasoned performers channeling the spirit of the Alien Comic\, Tom Murrin. Streaming from midnight to midnight on Howl! Happening’s homepage. \nSamantha CC says about Untitled: \nThe body enforces limitations on the soul\, and can sometimes feel like a trap\, and yet it is also a site of pleasure and rich human experience. The shells and water in the glass container represent motion and restlessness inside the container of the body. The transparency of the container calls into question whether the barrier between physical and metaphysical is superficial or not. \nMy art practice incorporates performance\, writing\, video\, and sound. For this piece\, my materials are shells\, the sky\, water\, my hands\, and a giant glass urn.  \nAbout Samantha CC \nSamantha CC is an interdisciplinary performance artist from Brooklyn.  Her performances often incorporate original video projections and sound design. Much of her work incorporates science-fiction aesthetics as a means of exploring human fragility and the individuation process. While most of her recent work has been solo performance\, she has also worked with choreographers such as Monica Mirabile of Fluct\, Sarah Kinlaw\, and Jes Nelson. She has presented work at Roulette Intermedium\, The Wild Project\, Knockdown Center\, Pioneer Works\, Secret Project Robot\, AC Institute\, Outpost Artists Resources\, and Superchief Gallery to name a few. She also has an ongoing curatorial project called The Great BE which features performance and video work from artists of the African diaspora.” URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/the-full-moon-show-the-full-buck-moon/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Happening Soon,Special Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.howlarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Full-Buck-Moon-Images-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200628 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200629 DTSTAMP:20260603T231741 CREATED:20200616T152243Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200713T185622Z UID:10000331-1593302400-1593388799@www.howlarts.org SUMMARY:QUEER BUTOH 2020 (VIRTUAL) DESCRIPTION:Premiering June 22 at 7:30 PM  \nVANGELINE THEATER/NEW YORK BUTOH INSTITUTE and HOWL ARTS \nIn celebration of Pride 2020\, Vangeline Theater/New York Butoh Institute in collaboration with Howl Arts is pleased to present Queer Butoh 2020 (VIRTUAL). This year\, we are pleased to present the works of Mee Ae\, Dustin Maxwell\, Davey Mitchell and Scoop Slone on Howl TV. Queer Butoh is dedicated to the memory of Brian Butterick aka Hattie Hathaway. Queer Butoh continues June 23–28 on vimeo.com/vangeline and howlarts.org. \nPraise for Queer Butoh: New York Times \nAt its origin\, the introduction of Butoh in Japan was widely controversial. The first homoerotic butoh performance\, Kinjiki (Forbidden Colors)\, created by Tatsumi Hijikata in 1958\, caused controversy amongst its spectators.  \n“Butoh is essentially the dance of the marginalized\, and the LGBTQ population is still largely marginalized in the world\,” says Vangeline\, curator of this series. “This year\, despite obvious challenges\, it is particularly important to find ways to celebrate our LGBTQ artists for the 50th-anniversary celebration of Pride.”  \nMEE AE in Swoon \nSwoon sprung from feelings of desire woven through with shame\, as is so often the case due to internalized feelings of wrongness for my attraction to women. By expressing through movement what feels so inexpressible otherwise\, these feelings were transmuted into the purifying core desire I have for dance. As a result\, this piece came to represent a commitment ceremony of sorts between dance and I. —Mee Ae \nMee Ae is a Butoh-inspired dancer and choreographer. She graduated from Bard College in 2000 with a BA in Drama and Dance\, and landed in New York City in 2001\, whereupon she was awarded a full scholarship to study at Peridance Capezio Center. In 2004 she began her training in Butoh with Vangeline\, and her performance career with Vangeline Theater.

The film component of the work\, dark forest: portal\, represents an inlet on the wellspring of materiality. It is a mesmerizing invitation to dive below the surface and to be with the whole.  \nDustin Maxwell is a movement-based visual artist currently living in New York City. He was born queer into a Mormon family of eight in Albuquerque\, New Mexico\, where he took his first ballet class at the age of three. As a teenager he studied modern dance and Barbara Clark’s somatic approach with his teacher\, Joanne Emmons. In 2005 he relocated to Minneapolis\, where he spent a decade studying dance and performing locally and internationally. He began studying Butoh with Gadu Doushin in early 2012. His work is sourced from ritual and sensitizing practices and aims to preserve those elements within “finished” works. Otherness\, sexuality\, spirituality\, death\, and the magic of being are themes central to his art and life. His dances and performance installations have been presented in theaters\, galleries\, basements\, alleyways and countrysides in Minnesota\, New York\, and Germany. He holds a BA in Dance from the University of Minnesota\, Twin Cities. He is a 2019 Jerome Hill Artist Fellow and was nominated for a 2015 SAGE Award for Outstanding Performer.  \n\nFilmed and edited by Dustin Maxwell\nChoreographed by Dustin Maxwell\nPerformed by Dustin Maxwell\nMusic by Dustin Maxwell\nLength: 7:04 \n\n  \nDAVEY MITCHELL in Diary of a Mad Swan  \nImage by Michael Blase\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 – completeness of being; and within that being is your journey – your life experiences – struggles and accomplishments\, happiness\, and sorrow.  As a mature dancer\, Butoh has graciously accepted me with all the baggage that I carry from my journey and has allowed me to spill my guts of grief to orgasmic glories. It has taught me the power of stillness and given me a voice of balance where my masculine and feminine energies can speak my truth!.” —Davey Mitchell \nAn expressionist of the arts in New York City for over 30 years\, Davey began his dance training at the Alvin Ailey Dance School in the 1980s. Through the span of his dance career with various dance companies\, highlights include performances at the Brooklyn Academy of Music\,  The Duke Theater\, PS. 122\, The Riverside Church and Adelphi University to name a few.  Now as a solo performer\, he continues to showcase his work as a guest artist in collaboration with choreographers and special events. For more info www.artbydavey.com \n\nChoreographed and Performed by Davey Mitchell\nCostume by Davey Mitchell\nFilmed by on November 9\, 2016\, for Queer Butoh 2016 at Howl Arts\nMusic: Bolero by Maurice Ravel and Tempus Vernum by Enya\nLength: 9 minutes\n\n  \nSCOOP SLONE in Fragments \nScoop Slone by Joan Greenfield\nA being exists alone in the primal future past. Through Its locality It pieces together memories of Its forgotten identity in a reclamation of Its Self. —Scoop Slone \nScoop Slone’s creative practice explores identity\, self-awareness\, and self-actualization through performance\, sculpture\, and installation. Employing non-organic modern materials that reference folk and primal tradition(s)\, Scoop investigates meaning and constancy as experienced through the solitude of alter ego Geometrica 222. Character development draws on repetition\, meditation\, shamanism\, sound\, and phonation\, while referencing personal narratives and gender-fuck drag.  \nScoop began an artistic career singing for Portland Opera and switched personas\, jumping into the New York City rock-opera scene. Praised by the New York Times for “gamely vocal stylings\,” Scoop becomes known for vocal and character morphing in all genres of media and theatrical performance. An introduction to Butoh in 2018\, coupled with costume and object fabrication\, commenced a new artistic trajectory in Scoop’s artistic process and the public personification of Geometrica 222. In July 2019\, HERE Arts debuted Future Perfect with Scoop’s first Butoh performance exhibit and installation. Fragments is the second incarnation of that work in progress.  \n\nFilmed and edited by Eleanor Kipping at FiveMyles Gallery\, Brooklyn\, on Feb 1\, 2020\nChoreographed and performed by Scoop Slone \nSoundscapes by Scoop Slone\nEngineers: Mark Unthank and MP Kuo; “There is a land” by You Man\nCostumes and installation by Scoop Slone\nScoop Slone assembled from rubber bands\, cable ties\, paper straws\, speaker cable\, pom poms\, and wood \nLength: 25:25 URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/queer-butoh-2020-virtual/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Performance,Special Event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.howlarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Mee-Ae-photo-by-JariPoulin.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
