Happening is pleased to present Play What You Like: Fluxus\, Music & More curated by Jade Dellinger\, opening Saturday\, June 18th from 6-8 PM and running through July 31st. Drawing its title from an early work by the Italian Fluxus artist/composer Giuseppe Chiari\, Play What You Like: Fluxus Music & More highlights both historical works and the works of those influenced by those historical precedents. \nMost heavily inspired by the ideas of John Cage\, Fluxus art often relied on chance to shape the outcome and actively involved the viewer. Fluxus compositions or scores for performances and events involved simple actions\, ideas\, and objects from everyday life. Incorporating concrete poetry\, visual art and writing\, Fluxus performances were the embodiment of Dick Higgins’ idea of “intermedia”—a dialogue between two or more media to create a third\, entirely new art form. \nYet\, as many of the Fluxus artists had formal training in music\, musical composition and performance (frequently involving the alteration\, misuse or abuse of traditional instruments) became central to their activity. Beginning with a series of festivals featuring concerts of experimental music and other avant-garde performance\, Fluxus artists reacted against the commodification of art\, its commercialization in the gallery system\, and its static presentation in museums. A primary goal of most Fluxus artists was to destroy any boundary between art and life. Founder George Maciunas stated that Fluxus was “anti-art\,” to underscore the revolutionary mode of thinking about the practice and process of art while using humor to mock the elitist world of “high art” and to bring art to the widest possible audience. \nIn addition to the artists listed above\, of particular note will be the interactive installation JOHN CAGE 33 1/3 performed by Howl! gallery-goers. Conceived in 1969 as an “audience participation” work\, John Cage’s original “score” simply stipulated that the gallery be filled with about a dozen record players and two- to three-hundred vinyl records. Visitors to the gallery are encouraged to act as DJs and create a musical mix by playing records freely and thus performing the work. \nAccording to guest curator Jade Dellinger\, “when the work was first installed at the University of California in Davis\, a local record store graciously volunteered the hundreds of necessary records. However\, as Cage never discussed condition or specified titles\, the store promptly sent over the most common and undesirable\, damaged and utterly unsalable records in their inventory.” Dellinger was inspired by a line from a letter he received in the 80s from Cage in which the composer noted that “I am not interested in the names of movements but rather in seeing and making things not seen before.” \nA prominent group of visual artists and performers (even a few Rock & Roll Hall of Famers) have submitted top ten picks or album playlists to fill record bins. The participating visual and performing artists include: \nYoko Ono\, Iggy Pop\, Graham Nash\, David Byrne\, Lee Ranaldo\, Richie Ramone\, Jad Fair\, Alex James\, Meredith Monk\, Terry Allen\, Irwin Chusid\, Arto Lindsay\, Blixa Bargeld\, Mike Kelley\, S.A. Martinez\, David Harrington\, Emil Schult\, Pauline Oliveros\, The Residents\, Vito Acconci\, The Art Guys\, Martin Atkins\, John Baldessari\, Matthew Barney\, Christian Marclay\, Joan La Barbara\, James Rosenquist\, Ed Ruscha\, William Wegman. \n  URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/play-what-you-like-fluxus-music-and-more-curated-by-jade-dellinger/ LOCATION:Howl!

Happening Present: Manatee in the Moon: An Homage to Luna Macaroona DESCRIPTION:Tuesday July 19\, 2016 / 2 PM / Free\nFULL MOON SHOW\nA Tom Murrin Alien Comic Invention \nThe Full Moon Show\, Howl! Happening’s monthly series of performances\, rituals\, and blessings\, features original members of the Full-Moon Crew and other leading contemporary performers. For July\, performer/curator Salley May and her sister\, artist Nancy May Perry\, create Mayhem in the gallery and pay tribute to the moon goddess Luna Macaroona and to Tom Murrin—an artist whose legacy continues today with the young performance artists he encouraged and inspired. \nMayhem is Salley May and Nancy May Perry\, who combine shared and separate histories to chart lines between danger/safety\, prey/predator\, and inside/outside\, summoning unconventional forces for protection and power\, and identifying survival as a radical act. Mayhem was formed when these two sisters came together for a performance at the New Museum in 2013. \nSalley May is Howl! Happening’s Tom Murrin Full Moon series curator\, a NYC-based performance artist since 1986. She has curated PS122’s Avant-Garde-Arama series since 1988\, and has run theater/dance workshops with mentally ill populations through HAI (Hospital Audiences\, Inc.) since 1990. She was a longtime member of Jennifer Miller’s Circus Amok! and is devoted to the life\, work and spirit of Tom Murrin aka the Alien Comic. \nVisual artist Nancy May Perry explores images of transparency and houses concepts of safety and danger in the mundane of day-to-day experience. She did undergraduate work at the University of California\, Berkeley and received an MFA from Hunter College. Perry has been included in shows at the Brooklyn Art Museum and other venues in New York City. \n  \nThe Tom Murrin Archive \nHowl! Happening is the repository of the Tom Murrin Archive comprising masks\, costumes\, scripts\, correspondence\, photographs\, and tapes of performances going back to the early 70s. Murrin (February 8\, 1939–March 12\, 2012) also known as The Alien Comic and Jack Bump\, was a performance pioneer whose life and work inspired both artists and audiences for over 40 years. He was a member of the first generation of La MaMa playwrights. Tom wrote four plays performed through La MaMa and produced by John Vacarro’s Play-House of the Ridiculous\, including the offbeat hit Cock-Strong\, which toured with Ellen Stewart’s La MaMa troupe to Paris\, Amsterdam and Brussels. \nWith the guidance of rock manager Jane Friedman\, Tom began to perform under the name Alien Comic\, opening for acclaimed punk bands in rock clubs such as CBGB\, Max’s Kansas City and Irving Plaza. He performed in New York City clubs and theaters as The Alien Comic\, appearing in such venues as The Pyramid\, 8BC\, King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut\, PS122\, Dixon Place\, La MaMa\, and more. Since the mid 80s\, he created\, performed\, and curated a series of variety nights at PS122\, and later at the La Mama Experimental Theater Club and Dixon Place\, called The Full Moon Show. His plays Sport-Fuckers and Butt-Crack Bingo were produced at Theater for the New City and La MaMa and directed by David Levine. \nPhoto: Jim R.

Over the course of her time in New York\, she’s modeled for Calvin Klein\, sung lead in theatrical death metal band The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black\, and created performances based on Anti-Naturalism and Availabilism\, the tenet of which is making the best of what’s available to create performances—as an expression of an ineffable part of oneself. \nRebel Without a Cock is an epic-length Karen Black song from the album “Fuck Island.” This work uses classic rock like the bread and the performance art aspect like the butter. “It makes the sharing of this work a little happier and less austere\,” says Kembra as she describes the album as “having the worst titles she has ever come up with” and looks forward to putting them all onto t-shirts. She feels that a show is only as good as the t-shirt and says she would “prefer to wear a Rebel Without a Cock t-shirt to an Annie or Chicago t-shirt. When pressed to further explain the content of this performance she recommended “it would be better to know as little as possible about the performance so as to be more surprised.” Participating in the performance are Samoa\, co- founder and lead guitarist of The Voluptuous Horror of Karen black and band member Alice Moy. An artist\, Samoa will be having his first solo painting show at Howl! Happening in January 2018. \nPfahler’s work has been included in solo exhibitions at Deitch Projects\, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center\, and The Hole\, New York\, NY; Rove Gallery\, London\, UK; and hpgrp Gallery\, Tokyo\, Japan. She was a featured artist in the 2008 Whitney Biennial. She will have a solo exhibition at the Leopold Thun gallery in London opening November 2016. She has toured and performed extensively with The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black throughout the world and her extensive body of film work is housed in the Fales library at New York University. In 2014 she developed “Performance Art 101\,” a curriculum that she has taught at prestigious educational institutions like CalArts and elsewhere. Pfahler’s work has been discussed in The New York Times\, W\, and Rolling Stone\, among other publications. \nTICKETS: $30 suggested donation. Includes a reception with the artist \nThe staged readings series is a benefit for the Actors Fund’s Howl!

Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to shine a light on another important source of East Village social and cultural history: The East Village Eye. A monthly magazine published from 1979 through 1987\, The East Village Eye focused on popular and avant-garde culture\, politics and other issues relevant to the East Village and environs. Self-styled as “a community in print\,” the magazine is noted for its groundbreaking coverage of the emerging punk\, new wave and hip hop music scenes of the time\, as well as the influential art\, literature\, film and performance worlds of the era. \nThe East Village Eye Show will feature covers\, centerfolds\, interior pages\, ephemera and photographic prints\, as well as key artwork from the era. The show draws from the nearly 4\,000 pages\, 3\,000 photographs\, sets of original copies and attendant materials that constitute The East Village Eye Archive\, dubbed “the King Tut’s tomb of downtown New York.” \nArtist and Colab co-founder Christof Kohlhofer was the first art director of the Eye. Kohlhofer\, who studied with Joseph Beuys\, introduced Abrams to the influential artists who were a part of the flourishing EV art scene. “I credit Christof with steering the Eye towards art\, but also for injecting a Beuys-like approach. Basically doing whatever was necessary at the time\,” says Abrams in the 2014 Hyperallergic article The East Village Eye: Where Art\, Hip Hop\, and Punk Collided. \nAs a result\, the magazine featured art world luminaries including David Wojnarowicz\, Richard Hell\, Cookie Mueller\, Lucy Lippard\, and Rene Ricard. The magazine’s covers read like a who’s who of cultural influencers like Patti Astor\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, and Vito Acconci; emerging artists such as Sue Coe\, Barbara Kruger and Kiki Smith; as well as musicians like Patti Smith\, Run DMC\, Annie Lennox\, and the Beastie Boys. \nRichard Hell explained how he and other New Yorkers\, and not English kids\, “invented” punk; Cookie Mueller dished out bold and often hilarious health advice; Glenn O’Brien\, the leading avant-pop writer and media figure\, expounded on the New York Yankees; and the aforementioned David Wojnarowicz wrote about his harrowing past and present as a street hustler and later as an artist living with HIV. \nCreative collaboration was the hallmark of the magazine’s legacy. “The mix of fashion\, music\, art\, politics\, comics etc.\, the way it was presented by the Eye\, the constant changing impact through all those different people who worked on the paper\, and Leonard’s attitude not to interfere with that\, made it a very lively subject\,” says Kohlhofer in the Hyperallergic article. \nOver a period of eight years\, the magazine chronicled the spectacular rise and eventual implosion of the East Village art scene. The Eye‘s coverage of the arts and music scenes helped illuminate the psychosocial conflicts running through EV/LES culture\, NYC\, and beyond. Later issues of the Eye touched upon the beginnings of radical changes in the neighborhood. In April 1986 the magazine ran a feature on the rise of “The East Village Yuppie.” Sixth months earlier\, the Eye’s art editor\, Carlo McCormick\, published an obituary for the neighborhood’s art scene. “Though the greed and envy have disbanded our beautiful community\,” wrote McCormick\, “the East Village will continue to exist as the simulacrum of itself. The art world is finally ready to preserve our youth like the glamorous visage of the internally decrepit Dorian Grey.” \nUltimately\, The East Village Eye was the monthly record of a time and place in which the radical shifts of the post-Vietnam era produced a reckless thirst for experience and expression that redefined the world we live in today. Through this exhibition\, Howl! Happening stands in solidarity with the EV/LES artists and community—past and present—whose creativity continues to fuel us. \nSpecial Events are also planned. Check the Howl! Happening website for updates.\nSeptember 18: Panel Discussion\nSeptember 24: New/No Wave Films\nSeptember 25: Cinema of Transgression\nOctober 6: Channeling the Dead: Readings of stories by deceased writers Kathy Acker\, Cookie Mueller\, Rene Ricard\, David Wojnarowicz and (too many) others. \nEast Village Eye – Special Edition \nA special edition of The East Village Eye will act as the catalogue. The tabloid-sized magazine will include historical essays; political commentary; articles about current events and people who are impacting our world; and guides to goings-on in downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Happening presents it monthly series THE FULL MOON SHOW—performances\, rituals\, and blessings paying tribute to his moon goddess Luna Macaroona—an homage he delivered as a stage and street performer for nearly 50 years. In the gallery or on the street expect madcap performances by old friends and rising stars. The Tom Murrin/Full Moon series is curated by performance artist Salley May. Check back here for times and performers. \n  \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nHowl! Happening houses the archives of Tom Murrin. Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic\, is known as the Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon\, Tom performed the Full Moon Show in honor of his moon goddess\, Luna Macaroona. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as his 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. If not\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic. Howl! Happening’s monthly series continues that tradition\, with performances in the gallery and surprise pop up performances on the street. \n  \nAbout The Tom Murrin Archive \nHowl! Happening is the repository of the Tom Murrin Archive comprising masks\, costumes\, scripts\, correspondence\, photographs\, and tapes of performances going back to the early 70s. Murrin (February 8\, 1939 – March 12\, 2012) also known as The Alien Comic and Jack Bump\, was a performance pioneer whose life and work inspired both artists and audiences for over 40 years. He was a member of the first generation of La MaMa playwrights. Tom wrote four plays performed through La MaMa and produced by John Vacarro’s Play-House of the Ridiculous\, including the offbeat hit\, Cock Strong\, which toured with Ellen Stewart’s La MaMa Troupe to Paris\, Amsterdam and Brussels. \nUnder the guidance of famed rock manager Jane Friedman\, Tom began to perform under the name Alien Comic\, opening for acclaimed punk bands in rock clubs such as CBGBs and Max’s Kansas City. He performed in New York City clubs and theaters as The Alien Comic\, appearing in such venues as The Pyramid\, 8BC\, King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut\, Performance Space 122\, Dixon Place\, La MaMa\, and more. Since the mid 80s\, he created\, performed\, and curated a series of variety nights at Performance Space 122\, and later at the La Mama Experimental Theatre Club and Dixon Place\, called The Full Moon Show. His plays Sport-Fuckers and Butt-Crack Bingo were produced at Theater for the New City and La MaMa and directed by David Levine. Tom was the first performance artist to appear on stage at the original Dixon Place location at 37 East First Street in 1986. URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/the-full-moon-show/ LOCATION:Howl!

A high-flying diplomat\, Jesurun’s Faust is susceptible to love and its inevitable pain\, a vulnerability exploited by his often-sympathetic\, female Mephistopheles. Bedeviled by a kind of 360-degree vision\, she sees everything from every point of view\, simultaneously\, and is the atmospheric center of the play. This story of Faust is set in modern secular times. Secular time infers that neither God nor the Devil exist\, and the piece explores Faust’s own responsibility and motivation for his work and life. \nThe play itself has a particular worldview: the messiness of contemporary life. Its given setting is simultaneously before\, during and after our present time. It implies a precarious international panorama of eternally shifting layers of history\, time and expectations. \nFAUST/How I Rose was originally commissioned by The Builders Association and Theater Neumarkt in Zurich in 1996 and performed in Europe and the U.S. as Jump Cut (Faust). In 1998\, it was directed by acclaimed Mexican director Martín Acosta at the National Theatre of Mexico where it ran for several months in sold out performances. After a series of other Mexican runs\, it was performed at the Cervantino Festival in Mexico and BAM’s Next Wave Festival in 2004. Jesurun also directed a German version of the play in Frankfurt in 1999. About John Jesurun \nTICKETS: $20 Suggested Donation\nLimited Space. To reserve a seat buy your tickets now \nIf Jung described modern humanity as “in search of a soul\,” Jesurun’s games with language\, time\, and narrative\, you might say\, are being played over the void where that invisible object used to reside. In a world where dogged materialism and literal-mindedness seem to rule\, he offers an escape hatch that comes without obligations to technology\, machinery\, or the ostensibly solid realities that\, as political life has recently been teaching us\, can vanish overnight if someone’s in a mood to throw his power around. By the time Faust/How I Rose comes along\, we’ll know if we’re in for four more years of devil’s deals or not; either way\, our souls are likely to need the liberating lunacy of his verbal dance. \n–Michael Feingold on Faust/How I Rose\, Village Voice\, 2004 \nJesurun’s updated version of the Faust legend traveled from earth (an apocalyptic war zone) to hell (a physician’s waiting room) and back again\, with many other stops in between. More than ten separate locations were visited in the course of the drama\, ranging from a psychedelic porno theatre to a virtual golfing range….Textually\, Jesurun approached Faust’s pact with the devil from the point of view of  Mephistopheles\, depicted here as a loudmouthed punk-rock/surfer girl. Faust\, in contrast\, assumed the demeanor of a well-healed diplomat\, a master of political argumentation\, rationalization and verbal foreplay….\nGone is the pretense of magic\, cohesion and linearity on stage; replaced by material excess\, incongruence and multisequentiality. Combining a sculptor’s eye for beauty with a reality TV producer’s lust for schlock\, Jesurun’s performance works interweave high art aestheticism with lowbrow tabloidism.\n-Kathryn Farley\, Theatre Journal \nJohn Jesurun-playwright/director/media artist. Since 1982: text\,direction\,design for over 30 pieces including: the 61 episode CHANG IN A VOID MOON\, EVERYTHING THAT RISES MUST CONVERGE\,SNOW and the media trilogy: DEEP SLEEP/WHITE WATER/BLACK MARIA. \nFellowships  include NEA\, MacArthur\, Rockefeller\,Guggenheim\, Asian Cultural Council\, Foundation for Contemporary Arts.

Quinn\, Nava Renek\, Susan Sherman\, Richard K.

As its name implies\, Local Knowledge offers an alternative to the disconnect in the homogenized creative writing scene. Instead\, the magazine proposes all knowledge is local and spreads out from the life and language of people who lead their lives not simply as artists\, but as individuals struggling with the process of daily experience. Sanjay Agnihotri is the publication’s editor/publisher\, Tom Haynes is its art editor and Harry Lewis serves as editorial advisor.   URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/local-knowledge-issue-4-publication-party/ LOCATION:Howl!

Readers include Bob Holman\, Max Blagg\, Carl Watson\, David Huberman\, David Katz\, Leonard Abrams and others.

From Forest Hills to the Free Trade Hall DESCRIPTION:Publication Party\, Discussion\, Rare Film Clips\nFriday\, October 7\, 2016 / 7 PM / Free\nEvery night was like goin’ for broke . . . like the end of the world. —Bob Dylan \nHowl! Happening presents an up close and personal look at Bob Dylan in this evening that celebrates the publication of Clinton Heylin’s new book JUDAS! From Forest Hills to the Free Trade Hall\, which documents the incredible music Dylan and his backing group\, the Hawks (soon to become known as the Band)\, made on stage and on record during 1965 and 1966. \nTo coincide with the publication of this definitive account of the world tour\, rock historian and Dylan authority Clinton Heylin\, and the soundman responsible for the astonishing live recordings of the 1966 shows\, Richard Alderson\, co-curate an evening of audio-video verité rekindling the spirit of ’66 and screening rare clips from the tour. \nIn JUDAS!\, Heylin combines fast-paced narrative with forensic detective work to lift the lid on the 1966 sold-out tour to end all tours. Bob Dylan and the Hawks found themselves at the epicenter of a storm of controversy. Their response? To unleash a ferocious cataract of sound from Forest Hills to Melbourne to the Manchester Free Trade Hall. For the first time\, Heylin captures the full story as told by participants\, eyewitnesses\, and contemporary reports. \nHeylin’s books include Bob Dylan: Behind the Shades\, Revolution in the Air: The Songs of Bob Dylan 1957–1973\, Still on the Road: The Songs of Bob Dylan 1974–2006\, Bob Dylan: The Recording Sessions 1960–1994\, Anarchy in the Year Zero: The Pistols\, the Clash\, and the Class of ’76\, Bootleg: The Secret History of the Other Recording Industry\, From the Velvets to the Voidoids: The Birth of American Punk Rock\, and Babylon’s Burning: From Punk to Grunge\, among many others. \n  URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/clinton-heylins-judas-from-forest-hills-to-the-free-trade-hall/ LOCATION:Howl!

The Imperial Image is a dramatic triptych that explores how and why portraits of political leaders and royalty have come to hold a powerful place in societal structures and rituals. The triptych spans three different regions and eras. The play begins with a dialogue in Mughal era India\, as Western-educated and influenced emperors and court painters contemplate how to communicate and relate to their largely illiterate populace. Part II is a monologue from Marie Antoinette’s court portraitist\, Louise Élisabeth Vigée LeBrun. During the French Revolution she fled to St. Petersburg\, where she was befriended by Catherine the Great. Many of Mme. Vigée LeBrun’s works are included in the original Hermitage collection. The play concludes in the current era: OBEY/HOPE re-imagines the circumstances surrounding Shepard Fairey’s creation of the ubiquitous “Hope” poster for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.  The cast will feature Marie Christine Katz\, Nicky Paraiso and Imran Sheikh. The reading will be directed by Wendy Wasdahl and Alvin Eng \nThis June\, the second Portrait Play\, 33 & 1/3 Cornelia Street\, was presented at the Howl! Gallery’s Beat & Beyond Festival\, featuring Bowery Poetry founder Bob Holman as Joe Gould and the legendary Mink Stole—who has been featured in all of John Waters’ films—playing iconic painter Alice Neel. Three Trees\, the first Portrait Play\, about the haunting relationship between Alberto Giacometti and Isaku Yanaihara\, premiered Off-Broadway with the Pan Asian Repertory Theatre and was also presented as a workshop reading with Center Stage in Baltimore and the Moving Parts Theatre in Paris.

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!

Happening houses the archives of Tom Murrin. Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic\, is known as the Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon\, Tom performed the Full Moon Show in honor of his moon goddess\, Luna Macaroona. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as his 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. If not\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic. Howl! Happening’s monthly series continues that tradition\, with performances in the gallery and surprise pop up performances on the street. \n  \nAbout The Tom Murrin Archive \nHowl! Happening is the repository of the Tom Murrin Archive comprising masks\, costumes\, scripts\, correspondence\, photographs\, and tapes of performances going back to the early 70s. Murrin (February 8\, 1939 – March 12\, 2012) also known as The Alien Comic and Jack Bump\, was a performance pioneer whose life and work inspired both artists and audiences for over 40 years. He was a member of the first generation of La MaMa playwrights. Tom wrote four plays performed through La MaMa and produced by John Vacarro’s Play-House of the Ridiculous\, including the offbeat hit\, Cock Strong\, which toured with Ellen Stewart’s La MaMa Troupe to Paris\, Amsterdam and Brussels. \nUnder the guidance of rock manager Jane Friedman\, Tom began to perform under the name Alien Comic\, opening for acclaimed punk bands in rock clubs such as CBGBs and Max’s Kansas City. As Alien Comic he performed in such venues as The Pyramid\, 8BC\, King Tut’s Wah Wah Hut\, Performance Space 122\, Dixon Place\, La MaMa\, and more. Since the mid 80s\, he’s created\, performed\, and curated a series of variety nights at Performance Space 122\, and La Mama Experimental Theatre Club and Dixon Place\, called The Full Moon Show. His plays Sport-Fuckers and Butt-Crack Bingo were produced at Theater for the New City and La MaMa and directed by David Levine. Tom was the first performance artist to appear on stage at the original Dixon Place location at 37 East First Street in 1986. \nImage: Jim Moore URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/the-full-moon-show-2016-10-16/ LOCATION:Howl!
