SUMMARY:Gail Thacker: Fugitive Moments
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Wednesday\, January 9\, 2018\, 6pm \nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present Fugitive Moments*\, an exhibition that draws from four decades of artist Gail Thacker’s manipulated and painted Polaroids. Part of the Boston School—a loosely knit group of artists and photographers that includes Nan Goldin\, Jack Pierson\, Mark Morrisroe\, and Tabboo! (Stephen Tashjian)\, who all studied in Massachusetts art colleges during the 70s and early 80s before relocating to New York—Thacker studied painting\, video\, and film in the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University.  \nIn 1982\, when Thacker moved to New York\, the city was at its most ragged. Frayed around the edges and dangerous—and eventually shrouded with a cloud from loss of community to AIDS—Thacker lived among the artistic and theatrical milieu that produced groundbreaking work by artists and creators of all stripes. “We lived in a world of obsession—courting danger\, playing at the edge of lawlessness. This was my world\,” she says. \nAlong the way\, she photographed her friends and collaborators from the past to the present\, including Mark Morrisroe\, Rafael Sánchez\, Tabboo!\, Joey Gabriel\, Kenny Kenny\, Shelley Marlow\, and Katrina Del Mar.  \nHer process of exploiting the natural entropy of the film began by accident\, when some of her stored prints from unrinsed film deteriorated—resulting in mysterious ghosted and decaying images that appear scuffed\, stained\, and awash in alien light. In contrast to the pristine clarity of instantaneous digital imagery\, Thacker delves deeply into chance operations that result from the passage of time and the instability and active chemical processes of Polaroid film.  \nMirroring the dissolution\, decay\, and loss around her from AIDS\, each Polaroid is responsive to change\, mutations\, and eventually transformation by the artist’s hand. As art historian Jonathan David Katz puts it\, “As AIDS took far too many of [her friends]\, Thacker displaces her lack of control in real life onto a Polaroid image stewing in its own juices\, incorporating corruption degradation—in a word mortality—into a medium famed for its denial of that fact.” \nThacker says that “Polaroids are living things. They’re symbolic of the passing of time and our decay. Their impermanence shows how short and fragile this journey is. I allow ‘death’—the very thing that destroys us\, what we and all living things naturally fight against—to reveal the beauty.” \nThe ghosts of Morrisroe (who died of AIDS in 1989) and others are transmuted. Thacker and multimedia artist Rafael Sánchez bonded while caring for Morrisroe\, and after his death Sánchez became Thacker’s closest friend and most prolific collaborator. This close working rapport with flamboyant underground artists and performers—and her expressive self-portraits—are highly personal windows into her world\, delving deeply into the power of art to transform loss into beauty…embracing the spontaneous accidents the materials have to offer. \nIn 2017\, Thacker was the subject of a major exhibition\, Between the Sun & the Moon\, at the QCC Art Gallery of City University of New York and Daniel Cooney Fine Arts. In her review of the Daniel Cooney exhibition in Feature Shoot\, writer Ellyn Kail notes: \nIn their respective essays for the catalogue\, both Katz and curator Barbara P. Hitchcock allude to the link between the physical deterioration of Thacker’s Polaroids and the lifecycle of the human body. All photographs age eventually\, but this particular artist has sped up the process. If they had been printed immediately\, many of Thacker’s images might be purely joyful; after all\, these are pictures of artists performing\, playing\, and loving one another. But her technique casts a melancholy veil over her subjects by reminding us overtly of the persistent passage of time. \nPhoto: Gail Thacker. Self portrait\, NYC\, 1983  \n  \n*The title of the show comes from Barbara Hitchcock’s essay in the book Between the Sun & the Moon\, published in tandem with the 2017 exhibition.

SUMMARY:Gail Thacker Fugitive Moments Catalogue Launch
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening invites you to celebrate the publication of the catalogue for Fugitive Moments with contributions by arts writer Jane Ursula Harris\, Whitney Museum assistant curator Kelly Long\, performance artist Rafael Sanchez and Carlo McCormick. \nThe mythology of Gail Thacker\, the artist\, begins with death\, and it begins with a gift. The death was that of Mark Morrisroe\, the photographer whose frenetic production was cut short when he succumbed to AIDS in 1989\, at the age of thirty. The gift was also his: a box of Polaroid 665 Positive/Negative film. \n– Kelly Long\, Curatorial Assistant\, Whitney Museum of American Art \nFrom catalogue essay Homo Bulla

SUMMARY:Bob Rosenthal Straight Around Allen: On the Business of Being Allen Ginsberg
DESCRIPTION:February 7 / 6:30 pm / Free\nA Reading and Interview with E. Claman \nThere is no other book like this one\, though there are dozens of books about Ginsberg. Bob Rosenthal has made a courageous and valuable contribution to the field of Beat studies. — Jonah Raskin\, New York Journal of Books \nHowl! Happening is pleased to celebrate the publication of Bob Rosenthal’s new book\, Straight Around Allen\, published by Beatdom Books (2018) with a reading and booksigning with the author. The evening is part of the Prose Pros series hosted by Elinor Nauen. \nRich in anecdotes\, The Allen Ginsberg Project has called this intimate memoir “essential reading” and goes on to say: “Rosenthal was Allen’s secretary and trusted friend and confidant for over twenty years and his ‘right-hand man’. A calm presence in a far-from-calm vortex (Allen seemed to thrive on chaos\, as Bob astutely observes). No one was closer to the day-to-day\, no one more patient and comprehending.” \nAs Beat scholar\, Ann Charters\, remarks “Written straight from the heart\, Bob’s book will survive as an invaluable companion to Allen Ginsberg’s poetry.” \nRosenthal’s other books include the cult classic Cleaning Up New York (Little Book Room)\, and 5 books of poems including Viburnam\, Rude Awakenings\, and Morning Poems. He’s written the plays Cause of Gravity\, Whore of the Alpines\, Bicentennial Suicide\, and Clear the Range with Bob Holman and makes the chili every New Year’s Day for the Poetry Project Marathon. \nImage: Rosenthal and Ginsberg by Brian Graham

SUMMARY:Scooter LaForge: Homo Eruptus
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening is pleased to present Homo Eruptus\, a new body of work by Scooter LaForge including large\, mural-size paintings that mine the artist’s fertile inner emotional realm.  Whether it’s expressed on the mammoth pictorial canvases on view at the gallery\, or a t-shirt or cast-off article of clothing—Scooter paints with an earnestness that responds in the moment to what he sees and hears and feels about the world around him. Prehistoric cave paintings and the erotic murals of Pompeii mix with childhood memories and his experiences as a gay youth in leather bars\, creating an orgy of images that personalize and tap into the emotional content of his daily life and current interests.  \nMoving from canvas to canvas\, everything exists simultaneously for Scooter—the passionate\, the arousing\, the disturbing. Immediate and unmediated\, he “hits” his canvases like a graffiti artist. With a painterly agility bordering on the absurd\, his canvases are focused because of the very centrality and honesty of his emotions—the unmitigated awareness of his odyssey and the plasticity of his medium become a unifying force in the story and visuals of his work. \n“What impresses me is the urgency with which he paints—the fluidity—his vulnerability and knowing subversiveness\,” says Jane Friedman\, Executive Director of Howl! Happening. \nScooter understands the rules of painting and adapts well to the nature of whatever surface presents itself—canvas\, wall\, ceramic object\, piece of clothing\, bag\, or pair of shoes—the gender fluidity\, the homoerotic\, the fairy tale energy are one with the artwork.  \nDespite the recognizable pop culture imagery\, his painting is not a linear narrative about bunnies and bears and SpongeBob. There is a dark cloud that hangs over the fairy tale creatures and myths of his artmaking. Bed bugs\, dope\, addiction\, and the excesses of underground gluttony at sex clubs are also part of his experience and therefore an integral part of his painting. That dark cloud can be seen literally within a large mural he recently painted for a gay and lesbian youth center in Tel Aviv where four teens were murdered. That cloud restores complexity and reinstates the balance of delight and dread that is a hallmark of his work. \n \nWould You Be My Girlfriend?\, Tel Aviv Municipal LGBT Community Center\, 2018 \n  \nScooter is completely of this era: a time of gentrification\, art fairs\, and the economic paradox where a high-end boutique stands next to a welfare hotel—on a street notorious the world over as Skid Row. But his contribution to painting is not necessarily “topical.” Instead\, by delving into his emotional essence\, the authentic power of the work emerges\, full of ambiguity and dreamlike visions—invoking pleasure and an edge of danger—expressing what it feels to be gay and living on the dark side of troubling times. \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. Living in the East Village for the past 17 years\, his unique style has garnered the interest of curators and collectors. His work mines the rich catalog of art history\, infusing classical themes with a colorful sensibility. Bridging the gap between pop art and contemporary painting\, LaForge’s work redefines the medium for today. LaForge works in various media\, including painting\, sculpture\, and drawing\, employing unorthodox techniques and striking iconic images. In 2015\, the artist was awarded a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant. He is a frequent collaborator with his good friend Patricia Field. Exhibited internationally\, Scooter is currently exhibiting Creation of the Animals at Empirical Nonsense and will have his second solo show at HOWL! Happening\, Homo Eruptus\, in February 2019. \n  \nOpening Reception: February 14\, 2019 / 6–8 PM / Free \n

SUMMARY:Scooter LaForge: Scooterwear Workshop
DESCRIPTION:In this workshop\, multifaceted artist Scooter LaForge leads participants into a world of fantasy and imagination\, helping them to fashion a “statement” piece from a basic white t-shirt. Whether it’s expressed on the canvases on view in Homo Eruptus\, or a t-shirt or found object\, Scooter paints with an enthusiasm that is contagious. Participants will have their choice of two silkscreened t-shirts to use as their canvas. Acrylic paints and all materials will be provided. Limited to 15 people. Register here to reserve your space. \nLaForge’s workshop is part of the new\, free Vega Arts Workshops series\, educational initiatives designed to offer individuals access to the creative process and broaden opportunities to express themselves through the visual arts. Participants will produce their own works of art through hands-on experiences with acclaimed artists working in varied disciplines. \n\nAbout Scooter LaForge \nScooter LaForge is an artist who sees the world as a canvas of possibility. He has lived in the East Village for the past 17 years\, garnering the interest of curators and collectors with a unique style that mines the rich catalog of art history\, the artist’s fertile inner emotional realm\, and his extensive painterly vocabulary.  \nLaForge works in various media—including sculpture\, painting\, and drawing—employing unorthodox techniques and striking iconic images. Homo Eruptus\, his second solo show at Howl! Happening\, presents explosive\, mammoth-sized canvases invoking prehistoric cave paintings and the erotic murals of Pompeii.  \nThis same passion permeates LaForge’s painting on clothing. Often combine-like\, his works on garments are a walking journal of images\, where ideas are explored and refined—often making their way into the canvas. Above all\, Scooter is intuitive\, absorbing what surrounds and affects him\, “hitting” surfaces with the agility\, focus\, and passion of a graffiti artist.  \nThe artist often collaborates with his good friend Patricia Field on garments\, and has supplied paintings to Belgian designer Walter Van Beirendonck\, who has incorporated LaForge’s imagery into the fabric of his menswear.  \nLaForge’s paintings have been featured in shows at the Leslie-Lohman Museum in New York\, the Friedrichshof Museum in Vienna\, and the Spritmuseum/Absolut Art Collection in Sweden. His previous solo show at Howl! Happening\, How to Create a Monsterpiece\, was included on Autre’s list of top-10 exhibits of 2015.

SUMMARY:SPRING/BREAK: Scooter LaForge Mount Vesuvius Fire Sale
DESCRIPTION:Spring/Break Art Show NYC \nScooter LaForge Mount Vesuvius Fire Sale \nCurated by Carlo McCormick \nBooth #W14\n \nFor Spring/Break\, Howl! is also pleased to offer the Mount Vesuvius Fire Sale\, curated by Carlo McCormick\, featuring works by Scooter LaForge. Inspired by his painting exhibition Homo Eruptus Mount Vesuvius will include amphora\, paintings and works associated with his show at Howl! Happening– up through March 13th. \nMaster pop-culture contextualizer and prose stylist McCormick updates a classic trope in this tongue-in-cheek “fire sale” of objects which might have been found in Pompeii and Herculaneum at the time when Vesuvius erupted in AD 79 and buried both cities. Artifacts\, graffiti\, and racy murals all are preserved\, revealing what is hidden in contemporary culture: the erotic\, exotic\, and ribald…the rapturous freedom of desires.  \n“Mount Vesuvius Fire Sale is a perfect manifestation of the subversive humor and social commentary inherent in both Carlo’s and Scooter’s work\,” says Jane Friedman\, executive director of Howl! Happening. “These 21st century souvenirs are satirical\, but the cloud hanging over all of us is dead serious in these troubling times.” \nCommenting on LaForge’s exhibition\, Homo Eruptus\, currently on view at Howl! Happening through March 13th\, McCormick begins his catalog essay by quoting a passage from Malcolm Lowry’s novel Under the Volcano: “I have no house\, only a shadow. But whenever you are in need of a shadow\, my shadow is yours.”  \nCarlo goes on to say: \nAshes to ashes\, funk to funky\, we all live under a volcano\, in the shadows of a doubt. What is certain is only that we will each of us someday die; the only remaining mortal question is if it will be with a bang or a whimper. In an ambitious cycle of new paintings Scooter LaForge allows us the pleasure and peril of contemplating life in the shadows of extinction\, reimagining the frescoes of Pompeii through the bacchanal of another abruptly interrupted era: that of New York’s pre-AIDS gay nightlife. […] In a kind of postmodern marvel of time in a blender remix pastiche\, Scooter doesn’t simply deliver the engulfed and exhumed subterranean splendor of Pompeii but the great homosexual underground clubs that raged through the city of his youth\, the demise of the former conjoined in some anonymous sexual tryst with the latter. \nMount Vesuvius Fire Sale offers the chance to own a piece of history in the making\, as LaForge creates and memorializes historic remnants of a long-buried creative culture. \nFor information about Spring Break \n  \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y425tlXIH5w&feature=youtu.be

Happening is pleased to present Tom Murrin: Welcome to Alien Flight School\, a showcase of performances\, masks\, and props from The Howl! Arts Archive\, Collection: Tom Murrin. Also known as The Alien Comic and Jack Bump\, Murrin (February 8\, 1939–March 12\, 2012) was a performance pioneer whose life and work inspired artists and audiences for more than 40 years. The Howl! Arts Archive includes  his masks\, costumes\, scripts\, correspondence\, photographs\, and performance videos\, dating from the early 70s. \nAt Spring/Break\, Howl! will be showing an array of handmade masks\, costumes\, and videos that contextualize Murrin as an artist and performer. Known for engaging audiences directly in his mercurial and frenetic performances\, visuals were a unique part of Murrin’s shows. He made no distinction between his art and performance\,and was a masterful maker of masks and costumes using humble materials like cardboard\, plastic bags\, and funky objects found on the street. Rarely seen videos—like Merrill Aldighieri’s footage of a performance in Riverside Park in which Tom teaches parkgoers how to turn themselves into flying aliens—bring to life the full range of his work.  \nAs a writer\, entertainer\, performance artist\, actor\, provocateur\, itinerant hit-and-run showman\, and in the loosest sense community organizer and teacher\, Tom never wanted to differentiate between the various aspects of his creative practice and engagement with the world. As long as it was understood that everything—Luna Macaroona\, The Alien Comic\, Tom Trash\, or Jack Bump doing Balloon Theater or Avant-Garde-Arama; playing punk rock clubs\, playgrounds\, and theaters; playwriting or being a journalist; and supporting many generations of younger performance artists—was of one entirety. \n      —Carlo McCormick\, April 2014

Happening invites you to join us for a reading and fantastic music from the old neighborhood\, featuring LES luminaries:  \nSamoa \nKurt Wolf of Pussy Galore \nPoet legends David Huberman & EAK! Angie Glasscock \nEast of Bowery \nDarius James \nAnnecy TK \nPuma Perl \n…and many more \n  \nHost Drew Hubner is the author of American by Blood\, We Pierce\, and East of Bowery. Produced by Kristin Mathis. \n  \nAbout the Participants \n  \nJournalist and writer Sarah Ferguson has covered the East Village for more than 30 years—first for Downtown magazine\, then the Village Voice\, and now the Villager and Gothamist. She was twice nominated for a Pulitzer (for her reporting on the homeless movement and squatter rebellions)\, and was graced with an Acker Award in 2014. She’s also written features for Esquire\, Vibe\, Details\, High Times\, the Nation and Mother Jones. Now an avant gardener and mom\, she’ll be reading from some of the unpublished screeds she penned as a witness to the neighborhood’s turmoil. \nAngie Glasscock is a singer-songwriter born in Memphis\, Tennessee. After experimenting with LSD in her junior year of college\, she dropped out to pursue a bohemian life and moved into an artist colony in an SRO hotel in downtown San Diego. Glasscock moved to New York City in 1987 and worked as a waitress for several years at the beloved LES dive El Sombrero (The Hat). She works for the City of New York\, specializing in HIV and reproductive health care; writing songs and performing is a new passion. Her songs reflect her country roots.  \nDavid Huberman has work published in Evergreen Review\, A Gathering of the Tribes\, Long Shot\, Icon\, and many other literary journals. He’s performed at The Public Theater\, P.S. 122\, La MaMa E.T.C.\, and other performance venues. \nDarius James ​is a lecturer\, spoken-word performer\, editor\, and author of five books. He​ ​lived and worked in New York City for 22 years as a freelance journalist and moved to Berlin\, Germany\, in 1998. His documentary The United States of Hoodoo was released to the German market in the summer of 2012. He returned to the United States in the winter of 2007 and is currently completing a series of stories for his next book\, ​Aunt Katie’s Tales.  \nAnnecy Kenny is a queer\, NYC-based\, self-taught musician and actor originally from North Carolina. They play piano\, ukulele\, guitar\, and the omnichord\, and are currently working on an album called Awakened: The Gospels of Cornchip\, with a tentative release in 2019. Their drag work is inspired by Judy Garland\, Amanda Palmer\, Björk\, John Waters\, David Lynch\, Divine\, and Christeene. They use their platform to lift people up and build solidarity—speaking out against the stigma of mental illness and those affected by it. \nKristin Mathis (Producer) is a poet\, teacher\, translator\, and activist based in New York City.  Her translations of Sappho are forthcoming in Ezra magazine (May 2019) and her own poems have appeared in a wide variety of literary journals. When not writing or teaching\, she advocates for victims of gender-based violence and trafficking with the non-profit organization Sanctuary for Families. \nPuma Perl is the author of two poetry chapbooks\, Ruby True and Belinda and Her Friends\, as well as two full-length poetry collections\, knuckle tattoos and Retrograde (great weather for MEDIA). A fifth\, Birthdays Before and After\, is due for release in winter 2019. She is the creator\, curator\, and producer of Puma Perl’s Pandemonium\, which launched at the Bowery Electric in 2012 and brings spoken word together with rock and roll.  \nSamoa was born in Hiroshima\, Japan. He formed the first rock band in his high school and curated numerous music events in his hometown. He moved to Tokyo in 1975\, where he acted and attended beauty school. After arriving in New York City in 1980\, he began to do performance art at The Pyramid Club\, ABC No Rio\, La MaMa E.T.C.\, Area\, Danceteria\, and The Kitchen. In 1988\, Samoa co-founded the notorious punk band The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black with Kembra Pfahler. He started painting in 1995. After the 1999 WTO protests in Seattle\, his painting has been predominantly focused on themes of political justice.  \nKurt Wolf is best known for his contributions to downtown noise ogres Pussy Galore\, Boss Hogg\, and Foetus Inc.\, while continuing to make music under the moniker Lapis Lazuli. The music of Lapis Lazuli exists in a kind of parallel universe where rock was dead on arrival and soundtrack composers dominated the latter part of the 20th century. In a world gone mad\, Lapis Lazuli offers comfort in the oddly familiar and a future that never was.   \n  \n  \nImage: Ted Barron. Houston Street\, New York City\, 1985.

SUMMARY:Scooter LaForge: Homo Eruptus Catalog Launch
DESCRIPTION:Howl Happening is pleased to announce the launch of the exhibition catalog for “Scooter LaForge: Homo Eruptus”. Featuring a full poster of Federico Will You Be My Girlfriend? and essays by Darren Jones\, Sur Rodney (Sur)\, Dan Cameron\, Bill Arning and Carlo McCormick. \nThe evening will also feature a performance by Helixx C. Armageddon. \n“The artist’s exhibitions are often a cascading riot of multi-media ghouls\, heroes and villains\, leering at\, and luring the viewer in a fluid\, vibrant rainbow of objects and imagery. This exhibition however\, “HOMO ERUPTUS” is comparatively selective. Only five large-scale canvases are presented (all acrylic on canvas\, 2018) centered on themes of love\, eroticism\, relationships\, and death\, and set against the backdrop of the artist’s experiences in sex clubs\, leather bars and nightclubs. Notes from LaForge’s recent European travels through Italy and Greece\, further infuse the work\, providing visual elements from sun-bleached landscapes to Pompeiian sculpture.” \n– Darren Jones \nCopies of the catalog will be available for purchase\, as well as individual editions of the poster. Please contact the gallery if you would like to order a catalog to be shipped to you. \n

SUMMARY:Cary Abrams: The East Village in the 60s
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion with Penny Arcade\, Agosto Machado\, Ben Morea\, and Robert Watlington \nMany fondly look back on the 60s as the heyday of the East Village when throngs of youth descended on the neighborhood. Diggers arrived from San Francisco and opened a free store on East Tenth Street\, Bill Graham turned a local theater into the Fillmore East\, be-ins were held in Tompkins Square Park\, and artists and craftsmen offered their wares in local shops.  \nThe arts flourished during the period\, as many influential theater\, poetry\, and dance groups formed which helped reshape American culture—and continue today. St. Mark’s Church became a focal point for poets\, political activists\, radical community organizing\, and dance and theater groups. Ellen Stewart started Café La MaMa\, presenting theatrical works in a basement on East Ninth Street. Rock music from the Grateful Dead and Jefferson Airplane to The Group Image bellowed from the Tompkins Square bandshell at free concerts.  \nWhile the era has become mythologized over time\, this evening Howl! Happening invites a panel of intrepid souls who lived in the East Village during the 60s to reflect on their experiences. \nAbout the Panelists \nCary Abrams is a poet\, journalist\, writer\, and historian whose work has been featured in numerous publications. He has taught history in New York City public schools for many years and has worked on numerous projects documenting the history of the Lower East Side—including working with the Lower East Side History Project.  \nPenny Arcade fled her working-class Italian immigrant family at age 17\, arriving in the East Village where she became a member of John Vaccaro’s Play-House of the Ridiculous. In 1969\, she performed with Jackie Curtis in Femme Fatale at La MaMa E.T.C. She appeared in Warhol’s film Women in Revolt. Her career has spanned half a century\, during which time she has become a world-renowned performance artist. \nAgosto Machado has had an equally lengthy career as a star of stage and screen\, performing in films including Jack Smith and the Destruction of Atlantis; Beautiful Darling: The Life and Times of Candy Darling\, Warhol Superstar; Pay It No Mind: Marsha P. Johnson; and most recently\, Ruminations. Agosto has performed in countless La MaMa productions\, often sharing the stage with Ethyl Eichelberger. He is worthy of being declared a national treasure. \nBen Morea moved to the East Village in 1958. He cofounded Black Flag & Up Against The Wall Motherfucker\, a group which organized numerous political actions in the 60s. Ben relates during that period the group operated 12 apartments for young runaways in the neighborhood. He is an acclaimed artist\, in addition to possessing great organizational skills and visionary ideas.   \nRobert Watlington is a visual artist\, poet\, and actor. His paintings have been exhibited in numerous galleries and shows in New York City as well as Europe\, and are included in many influential collections. He was featured in Bethany Jacobson’s film Raw Zones\, shot on rubble-strewn lots of the East Village and shown as part of a MoMA PS1 installation in 1987.

SUMMARY:Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen: Cut Work
DESCRIPTION:A Survey 2008–2018\n  \nOpening Reception: Thursday\, March 21 / 6–8 PM / Free\n  \nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present Elizabeth Gregory-Gruen’s Cut Work\, a freehand paper-cutting process that charts the contours of our ever-changing emotional landscape through the movement of form\, line\, color—and especially in Cut Work—light and shadow. Evolved over the course of 10 years\, Cut Work travels through Gregory-Gruen’s diverse vocabulary of mediums—from paper and metal to leather and 12-gauge gunshot blasts—to understand the play between visceral responses and meditative rest. \n“Cut Work is a process to open the mind’s imagination through contemplative reflection and vacate the strife of daily life\,” says Gruen. Using scalpel-cut multilayered imagery\, the dimensional layers make space for shadows to fall and move with a meditative vibration. Imperfection becomes perfection. There are no guides\, rules\, drawings\, or plans in the process. The image is determined freehand in the top layer of paper. An adhesive is added under the top layer\, followed by another layer of paper which is in turn cut—the process continuing to create multiple inward layers.  \nGregory-Gruen’s work in fashion design was a segue into the rediscovery of this current body of work. In 2000\, she began developing and evolving the technique used in Cut Work. The journey begins with pure shadow—investigating absence and movement against pure atmospheric light. The evolution continues with the infusion of color\, where the multilayered image finds both residence and freedom within defined edges. With the addition of highly saturated pigments\, the image is sharpened: the cut edges vibrate and move\, engaging the viewer in unexpected hypnotic optical experiences. \nWith authority\, but without fixed outcomes\, there is also risk in this work. “The coupling of skin and a surgeon’s scalpel brings forth complicated emotions\,” she says. The act of cutting skin brings life and death into high relief\, just like the artist searches to understand the chaotic jolts of everyday experience and the composure that permeate the work. Though the end result is very precise\, the calm that permeates the cut works is challenged by the artist’s introduction of a highly destructive tool. Random 12-gauge shotgun blasts to the perceived “perfection” of the work produce a visceral reaction. The result is an emotional paradox\, as the viewer’s perception is shaped by the violence and exhilaration of the act.  \nThe exhibition also features nuanced metal cut work and silkscreens created in collaboration with artist Gary Lichtenstein.  \nElizabeth Gregory-Gruen grew up in Chicago. Both her mother and grandmother were artists\, introducing Elizabeth to visual thinking and imagination at an early age. Inspired to pursue her creative ideas\, she moved to New York City in 1985 to attend Parsons School of Design. She received a BFA in Fashion Design in 1989 and went on to work in well-known design studios. In 2013\, Gregory-Gruen left fashion design to focus on the Cut Work exploration. She currently resides in New York City with her husband\, photographer Bob Gruen.

SUMMARY:Happy 100th Birthday Lawrence Ferlinghetti!
DESCRIPTION:Sunday March 24th 2019 is Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s 100th birthday. Poet\, painter\, socialist activist\, and the co-founder of City Lights Booksellers & Publishers\, Ferlinghetti has dedicated his life to poetry and free expression over the course of the US’s shifting attitudes towards censorship in the media in the 20th century. \nAs the defendant in the 1957 Howl Obscenity Trial\, Ferlinghetti was backed by the American Civil Liberties Union when he won the case in which California State Superior Court Judge Clayton Horn ruled that Allen Ginsberg’s Howl and Other Poems was of “redeeming social importance” and therefore not obscene. \nPaying tribute to this historic moment and honoring Ferlinghetti’s life and ongoing work\, Howl! Happening along with Bob Holman and Hal Wilner is delighted to host in New York City a 100th birthday party celebration in association with City Lights Bookstore and Knopf Doubleday publishers. The day will include a launch of Ferlinghetti’s new novel Little Boy. \nFeaturing Poets Ed Sanders\, Hettie Jones\, David Henderson\, Eileen Myles\, Bob Holman\, Anne Waldman\, Helixx C. Armageddon\, Puma Perl\, Maggie Dubris and Michael McClure (via videolink) along with performances by Eric Andersen and Lenny Kaye. \nThe afternoon will kick off with the NET documentary USA: Poetry; a screening of Chris Felver’s documentary Ferlinghetti\,  well as moments from Bob Holman’s United States of Poetry. The day will also include a group reading of one of Lawrence Ferlinghetti’s most iconic poems. \n  \nPhotos courtesy City Lights\, Knopf Doubleday & Peter Hale (Allen Ginsberg Estate) \n  \n

A contemplative process—with no expectations or fixed outcomes—workshop participants explore this free-flowing technique using mats\, knives\, and cardboard to create 3-D maps of their own imagination. The participant’s finished pieces are taken with them at the close of the workshop. No previous experience is required and all materials are provided. Workshop is recommended for ages 21 and over. Space is limited.

SUMMARY:Conversations With Gay Elders: Gene Fedorko
DESCRIPTION:Film and Discussion with Director David Weissman and Gene Fedorko \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present a screening of a segment of Conversations with Gay Elders about the life of Gene Fedorko a longstanding East Village icon. In Conversations with Gay Elders\, filmmaker David Weissman (The Cockettes\, We Were Here) fosters a cross-generational collaboration\, preceding the era of Stonewall and gay liberation. Working with gay men in their 20s and 30s to profile counterparts in their 70s and 80s\, Conversations with Gay Elders explores the issues of being “different” long before there was any social or political context for a positive LGBTQ self-image. \nFedorko says: “Being gay in those years was lethal. Monolithic systems were in place in our social\, familial\, cultural\, and political institutions that were designed to silence\, demonize\, annihilate\, criminalize\, marginalize\, destroy us…. Despite these oppressive juggernauts\, we formed communities; loved one another; created art\, poetry\, theater\, and music; and gathered our political muster to fight the good fight another day. Asserting one’s sexual identity was not easy. Some of us were exposed to psychiatric systems of conversion\, compulsory heterosexual marriage and family structures\, discrimination at work and school\, and banishment from our families. Some of us broke under the pressure and self-destructed either overtly or passively through alcohol and drugs. A lot of us had fun\, embracing our outlaw identities and flipping the bird to the patriarchal society we viewed as absurd.” \nGene Fedorko is a medical professional\, caregiver\, art collector\, curator\, activist\, sexual outlaw\, and cultural flâneur. He is happily well-traveled: a lieutenant in the Army of Love. He lives in New York City\, a place he loves. \nDavid Weissman is an Emmy Award-nominated filmmaker\, teacher\, film programmer\, public speaker\, and longtime activist. He is best known as producer of the acclaimed documentaries We Were Here  (2011) and The Cockettes (2002). Currently a resident of Portland\, Oregon\, David spent more than three decades in San Francisco\, where he was deeply engaged with the city’s cultural and political life.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Daniel Efram's Curiosities
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch with Jim Coleman\, Sarah Register\, Nicole Blackman\, Tony Drazan and Nossos Tambores \nDive into an immersive evening of spectacle celebrating the publication of Dan Efram’s photography book\, Curiosities\, inspired by film noir. Named Book of the Month by Leica Fotografie International magazine\, Efram’s debut collection published by Tractor-Beam captures the street opera and bravura of a Fellini cast.  \nThis exclusive HOWL! Happening evening brings the spirit of the street into the gallery with a cinematic soundscape of performances and spoken word\, bathed in a multi-screen presentation of images from Curiosities. Sound samples—snatches of overheard conversations\, quotations\, confessions\, and original texts—and Efram’s purposefully gritty black-and-white images surround the audience in a multi-layered setting for candid portraits of the odd\, unusual\, and darkly fascinating characters in the book. \nEfram’s Curiosities are augmented by neo-noir experimental soundscapes from Jim Coleman (This Wilderness\, Gain Control\, Cop Shoot Cop) and Sarah Register (War Bubble\, Talk Normal). Reading from her own work and a collection of other sources\, Nicole Blackman (Golden Palominos\, Recoil\, KMFDM) and actor/screenwriter Tony Drazan (director of Hurlyburly and Zebrahead) give voice to the anonymous pedestrians\, street vendors\, nightcrawlers\, and characters reminiscent of a Weegee cast of sordid superstars. Jubilant drum corps Nossos Tambores opens the evening. \n  \nAbout the Performers \nDANIEL EFRAM: Photographer \nEfram has photographed intriguing characters in Spain\, Portugal\, France\, Cuba\, and the U.S. for years and continues to be inspired by photographers like Weegee\, Diane Arbus\, Brassaï\, Sylvia Plachy\, and Garry Winogrand. Efram shares their desire to master the candid portrait\, and hunting and collecting of the odd\, unusual\, and darkly fascinating. Efram’s work manages to invite his subjects to inhabit their space with often unexpected edge and empathy. \nNICOLE BLACKMAN: Writer/Spoken-word performer \nCreator of multisensory performances The Courtesan Tales\, Beloved\, and Bloodwork\, she has recorded with The Golden Palominos\, Bill Laswell\, Recoil\, KMFDM\, Scanner\, and Firewater. Blackman’s book Blood Sugar became a cult classic (now out of print)\, and her work appears in anthologies and publications including Aloud: Voices from the Nuyorican Poets Café\, Live Through This\, New York Quarterly\, and Bust. She wrote the foreword and co-edited Curiosities with Efram. \nJIM COLEMAN: Musician \nAn American musician who plays keyboards and sampler. He was a member of 90s noise- rock band Cop Shoot Cop. As a solo musician\, he specializes in instrumental electronic music and film scores. His two current projects are This Wilderness and Gain Control. \nSARAH REGISTER: Musician \nCurrently performing with War Bubble. Register has released two albums with noise-rock project Talk Normal\, and toured as guitarist with EMA and bassist with Frankie Rose. She has mastered more than 2\,000 albums\, including Grammy-nominated releases from David Bowie\, Lee “Scratch” Perry\, Meshell Ndegeocello\, Tiësto\, and The Shins.  \nTONY DRAZAN: Actor \nDirected Imaginary Crimes starring Harvey Keitel\, Hurlyburly starring Sean Penn\, and episodes of The West Wing; wrote and directed the 1992 film Zebrahead. \nNOSSOS TAMBORES \nLed by Rob Christiansen (29 Hour Party People\, Eggs\, Grenadine)\, Nossos Tambores is a mini-drum corps named after a song by their favorite group and inspiration Nação Estrela Brilhante do Recife (“National Bright Star of Recife”). \n

SUMMARY:Curt Hoppe Downtown Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: April 24\, 2019 / 6–9 PM / Free\n  \nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to showcase the work of Curt Hoppe\, an artist whose work amplifies and illustrates Howl’s dedication to preserving the past and celebrating the contemporary culture of the East Village and Lower East Side. Downtown Portraits explores Hoppe’s work as a photographer and realist painter—penetrating layers of cultural history to reveal the changing faces of the neighborhood. The 105 photographs in the series will be shown at Howl!\, while 20 larger-than-life paintings will be shown at Frank Bernarducci Gallery. \nHoppe\, a realist painter and photographer\, has enjoyed a successful 40-year career driven by meaningful relationships with pioneering downtown creators. While many of the artists\, writers\, musicians\, activists\, and art entrepreneurs appearing in the photographs that make up the series at Howl! are now well known\, this project is conceived not as a hall of fame but as personal homage. Hoppe has been inspired not only by his subject’s youthful achievements but also by their lifelong perseverance and creativity. These are definitely not images of beautiful young creatives\, but rather visions of determined survivors who continue to influence our culture.  \n“It all started with Arturo\,” says Hoppe of the late Arturo Vega\, his longtime friend. Howl! will also feature Hoppe’s larger-than-life painting of Vega—who was not only the source of inspiration for Howl! Happening—but also Hoppe’s first portrait in the Downtown Portraits series. \nWhat began with one large realist painting has become an all-consuming project that Hoppe has pursued for nine years. As a long-time denizen of downtown New York\, Hoppe pays tribute to the core group of artists who offered him friendship and direction when he first arrived in the city in the mid-70s and who continue to inspire and define him today\, both as artist and member of a vibrant and enduring creative community.    \n“I want this exhibition to be forward-looking\,” he says. “These artists found a way to survive and to thrive\, and their wisdom continues to have a profound impact on today’s culture. We’re cooler now than we were back then. Our lives are on our faces.” The famous hang side by side with unsung heroes. His project is not about vanity or celebrity or self-promotion\, but rather\, like a yearbook of friends one hung with\, learned from\, and created mischief with\, the show traces the lines of connection of some of the most influential creators of our time including John and Charlie Ahearn\, Penny Arcade\, Patti Astor\, Beth B\, James Chance\, Diego Cortez\, Brett DePalma\, Jane Dickson\, Coleen Fitzgibbon\, Richard Hambleton\, John Holmstrom\, Lady Pink\, Arto Lindsay\, Colette Lumíère\, Tom Otterness\, Walter Robinson\, Marcia Resnick\, and Robin Winters\, among others. \nThe accompanying catalog\, featuring the photographs and paintings along with essays by Marc H. Miller and Walter Robinson\, among others\, examines the cultural themes and community that were the hallmark of downtown New York in the 70s and 80s.   \nImage: Arturo Vega with his portrait– Acrylic on Canvas \n  \nAbout Curt Hoppe \nhttps://museumofnonvisibleart.com/interviews/curt-hoppe/ \nhttp://www.itchysilk.com/curt-hoppe-journeys-into-hype \n

SUMMARY:Mark Berger Something’s Happening Here: A Sixties Odyssey from Brooklyn to Woodstock
DESCRIPTION:A Book Launch with Music by Olivia Quillio \nMark Berger’s memoir of the 1960s and its climactic event\, the Woodstock music festival\, is so richly evocative in its detail and presence\, you’ll swear you were there.\n– TC Boyle\, author of Outside Looking in: A Novel \nHowl! celebrates the publication of Mark Berger’s memoir  Something’s Happening Here: A Sixties Odyssey from Brooklyn to Woodstock. Since music was key to the energy of the 60s\, singer-songwriter Olivia Quillio joins Berger to perform songs from that exhilarating decade as well as her own original material.  \nBringing together a writer from the Woodstock generation and a musical artist from today\, the evening bridges generations and connects people who embrace the same values: peace\, freedom\, community\, and joyfulness. Berger’s memoir brings to life the rise of the counterculture\, Olivia Quillio’s music looks back at that time in order to see her way forward. In launching Something’s Happening Here at Howl!\, Berger illuminates the cultural experiences that led to his creation of this book\, including encounters with Allan Ginsberg\, whose humanity and avuncular concern left a deep impression on the author.  \nIn concise and thoughtful episodes\, Mark Berger has recreated his entrancing and eye-opening experiences through the years that culminated in the extravaganza of Woodstock. Fresh\, honest\, by turns gentle and wry\, this is a rare and engaging first-hand look at an important time in our cultural history\, with all its delirious ideals and sheer energy. —Lydia Davis\, author of Can’t and Won’t \nAbout Mark Berger \nMark Berger lived most of his life near Prospect Park in Brooklyn. He has driven a potato truck\, sold real estate\, and worked as an elementary school teacher and guidance counselor. In 2012\, attending a memoir class\, he found his voice as a storyteller and discovered a memory trove of tales from his life in the 1960s that were demanding to be told.

SUMMARY:Local Knowledge Issue #7
DESCRIPTION:Magazine Launch Party \nHowl! Happening invites you to celebrate the release of Local Knowledge #7. A journal of art and literature\, the magazine brings together poets\, prose writers (fiction and non-fiction)\, and artists to foster conversation\, exploration of the creative flow\, real dialogue\, and experience. As its name implies\, Local Knowledge offers an alternative to the disconnect in the homogenized creative writing scene. The magazine proposes all knowledge is local\, and spreads out from the life and language of people who lead their lives as both artists and individuals struggling with the process of daily experience. Sanjay Agnihotri is the founder and editor-in-chief of the magazine\, with creative director Tom Haynes. \n  \nIncluded in Local Knowledge #7 are: \nWilliam Benton \nMichaela D’Angelo \nSally Davies \nMike DeCapite \nMaggie Dubris \nTadzio Koelb \nMitch Levenberg \nMimi Lipson \nGreg Masters \nCarter Ratcliff \nVictor Schrager  \nKate Shepherd \nHannah Thurman \nJohn J. Trause      \nDonald Zirilli
