SUMMARY:TABBOO! New Paintings!
DESCRIPTION:“Tabboo!’s portraits have an arresting honesty.“\n—Sean Mellyn\, Bomb\, 2013\nHowl! Happening is pleased to present a series of new paintings by Tabboo!—a creative force in the Downtown/East Village/Alphabet City worlds of art\, performance\, and nightclubs for close to 35 years. Well known as a painter\, Tabboo!’s subjects have ranged from still lifes to cityscapes—and he is renowned for his portraits. On view will be 14 portraits of Tabboo’s closest friends\, giving these new works an immediacy and potent emotional charge. \nThe portraits’ expressionist tone and vibrancy are embued with the innermost thoughts and personality of both the artist and the sitters. In these portraits of his friends\, we see Tabboo!’s own exuberant personality and his close\, personal relationship to his subjects. The portraits capture his intimates with a fresh\, emphathetic eye\, expressing their essential personality and the psychic depth beneath the painted surface of the linen. Poignant and loving\, they are a record of a cross-section of his friends—some well known in the downtown scene\, others just part of his tribe—and also a tribute to the creativity and continuum of culture that is alive and thriving—right here\, right now! \nTabboo!’s portraits recall the style of Alice Neel and Diane Arbus . . . Similar to Arbus\, there is a poignancy to Tabboo!’s portrayal of his subjects. They are shown alone and isolated in empty space. They connect directly to the viewer. Like Alice Neel\, Tabboo! foreshortens arms\, he adds vernacular details\, he brings out the warmth and domesticity of the setting\, and the networks of friendships.\n                               —Rupert Goldsworthy\, Tabboo! catalog essay \nLoaded with symbolism and emotive brushwork\, these portraits bring out magical details of the sitters’ inner and outer lives. The paintings vibrate with an uncanny life force. Clearly Tabboo! knows these people well! \nAlongside Mark Morrisroe\, Nan Goldin and Jack Pierson\, Tabboo! was a member of the so-called Boston School. Arriving at the wide open creative arena of the East Village in the 80s\, Tabboo!’s work is a riotous mixture of DIY energy and high camp. He has collaborated with countless artists\, musicians\, writers\, and performers and his distinctive style has had a profound impact on leading cultural figures of his generation. \nProlific in a way that borders on compulsivity\, [Tabboo!] was not only one of the most imaginative figures in the early-’80s East Village art scene: he also illustrated our world\, lending his hand to the cover art of era-defining records by the likes of Deee-Lite and Book of Love and producing a seemingly infinite array of flyers and ads for the most celebrated nightclubs of the day\, like the Pyramid Club and Mudd Club. He was just as likely to be found inside those clubs\, designing their interiors or commanding the stage as Tabboo! Of all that\, [Tabboo!] simply says\, ‘I worked in nightclubs when nightlife actually mattered.’\n                                    —Carlo McCormick\, Paper magazine\, 2013 \nTabboo! continues to make his mark. He recently expanded his artistic range in a collaboration with Marc Jacobs on a collection featuring his signature work. Tabboo! and the collection have been featured in an article by Tama Janowitz in August’s Harpers Bazaar and will also be featured in Le Monde in September. His work will be included in the Museum of Modern Art’s upcoming exhibition about the legendary Club 57 and his book Tabboo! was published by Damiani on the occasion of his major exhibition at Participant\, Inc. (New York). He has also had major shows at the University of Nevada\, Reno; AMP Market\, Provincetown; Vox Populi\, Philadelphia; Gallery Mitterand\, Paris; Gavlak Gallery\, Los Angeles; and The Museum of Santiago de Compostela\, Spain. \n“The great thing about being an artist is the freedom to be myself\,” he says. \nSPECIAL EVENT\nOctober 27\, 2016 / 7 PM\nFall Costume Extravaganza Produced and Directed by Tabboo!\nAn artsy\, over the top drag show in the style of classic Hollywood glamour\, the costume extravaganza will feature Agosto Machado\, Brandon Olson\, Flloyd\, Trish Astor\, Bobbie\, Soigne\, and\, of course\, Tabboo! A tribute to old-school queens\, expect tons of sequins\, yards of tulle\, and feathers galore. Check Howl! Happening’s website for updates. \nA fully illustrated catalog with texts by Rupert Goldsworthy\, Brandon Olson\, and others accompanies the show. \nVideo of Tabboo! talking about his artistic process here.

SUMMARY:Paul Tschinkel  ART/new york No. 61 Robert Mapplethorpe
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 3 / 7 PM / Free\nHowl! Happening is pleased to present Robert Mapplethorpe\, another in filmmaker Paul Tschinkel’s probing ART/new york series\, which profiles influential artists at crucial moments in the careers. Filmed in 1983 in his downtown loft\, the youthful and mythic artist talks with Marc Miller about his ideas\, inspiration\, and the highly charged subject matter depicted in his work. \nRobert Mapplethorpe explores his photography\, his relationship to the downtown New York art world\, and the S&M club scene prevalent in the 80s. His infamously explicit and groundbreaking photographs of the gay leather New York Underground made him a cause célèbre. At the same time\, the quality and artistic achievement inherent in his series of portraits\, sensual flowers\, and transgressive erotic subjects elevated his work and drew the attention of influential dealers\, curators and collectors.  \nThe film includes interviews with Jack Walls\, Mapplethorpe’s partner; artist Brice Marden; Holly Solomon\, his first dealer; the photographer’s father Harry Mapplethorpe; and Father Stack\, the artist’s priest in Floral Park\, Long Island. Also commenting are curator Richard Marshall\, brother Edward Mapplethorpe\, photographer Gilles Larrain\, lawyer Michael Ward Stout\, artist Louise Bourgeois\, and biographer Patricia Morrisroe. \nPaul Tschinkel is a painter with an MFA from the Yale School of Art and Architecture. In the early 70s he turned to video as an art form and thus became one of the first artists in this new medium. In 1974 he turned to the fledgling New York cable TV system\, producing Paul Tschinkel’s Inner Tube\, a half hour weekly art gallery program. In 1979\, he began taping young bands in New York clubs for his cable show\, a program that ran for three years and inspired and presaged MTV. Since then\, he has produced a video series on contemporary art called ART/new york (artnewyork.org/store) of which Robert Mapplethorpe is No. 61. \nImage: Robert Mapplethrope

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

A collaboration with The Arturo Vega Foundation in NYC\, Empire: An Arturo Vega Retrospective is the late Mexican-born artist’s first solo U.S. museum retrospective and features photography\, collage and a number of iconic canvases from the artist’s Supermarket and Silver Dollar series (begun in the 1970s); his Flags and so-called “word paintings” from Insults and other series produced during the 1980s\, ‘90s and aughts. \n  \nEscaping the repressive violence of an authoritarian regime under Mexico’s “perfect dictatorship” in the late ‘60s\, Arturo Vega made his way to New York City to study English\, philosophy and photography at the New School for Social Research in the early 1970’s. Having discovered Elvis as a child and later co-directing a touring production of The Who’s “Tommy” at the National University in Mexico City\, Vega understood the revolutionary and transformative power of music\, theatre/performance and art. While working on his first painting series of supermarket signs\, he befriended members of The Ramones\, a rock & roll band that would soon play their first show (and would decades later be inducted into the Rock n’ Roll Hall of Fame). Designing the Ramones’ ubiquitous logo based on the Great Seal of the United States\, painting backdrops for their stage and creating a lighting scheme loosely adapted from Albert Speer’s Lichtdom to enhance their effect\, Vega created visual imagery that defined the transgressive aesthetic of punk rock by co-opting and questioning symbols of power. \n  \nIn numerous group shows since the 1970’s\, Vega’s work has more recently been the subject of one-person exhibitions at CB’s 313 Gallery/New York City (1992)\, Raleigh Studios/Miami Beach (Curated by Sandra Schulman in 1994)\, Galería OMR/México\, D.F. (2011)\, Casa Redonda\, Chihuahua/Mexico (2012) and at Howl! Happening in NYC in 2015 and 2016. As Vega once said: “Art connects to the eternal – demanding fast changes and a reckless appetite for truth\, justice and a better way of life.” Empire: An Arturo Vega Retrospective at the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery will draw parallels and explore interests shared by Arturo Vega and our gallery namesake. For Rauschenberg\, “(Art was) a means to function thoroughly and passionately in a world that has a lot more to it than paint.” \n  \nMore about us: The Bob Rauschenberg Gallery was founded as The Gallery of Fine Art in 1979 on the Lee County campus of Florida SouthWestern State College/FSW (then Edison Community College). On June 4th 2004\, the Gallery of Fine Art was renamed the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery to honor and commemorate our long time association and friendship with the artist. Over more than three decades until his death\, the Gallery worked closely with Rauschenberg to present world premiere exhibitions including multiple installations of the ¼ Mile or Two Furlong Piece. The artist insisted on naming the space the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery (versus the “Robert Rauschenberg Gallery”) as it was consistent with the intimate\, informal relationship he maintained with both our local Southwest Florida community and FSW. \n These events are open to the public\, free of charge.  \n Gallery Hours: Monday – Friday 10 am – 4 pm and Saturday 11 am – 3 pm \nClosed Sundays and Holidays \n Tel: (239) 489-9313 \nWeb: www.RauschenbergGallery.com \n  \n

Dam!\nIt’s the Beaver Full Moon Show\nSo\, sharpen your teeth\, fell your logs\, slap your tails\, and gather round the babbling concrete brook\, a.k.a. sidewalk\, outside\nHowl! Happening Gallery \nJoin Chief Executive Beaver Hapi Phace\, Chairbeaver of the Gutenberg Institute for the Preservation of Analog Thinking and his lodge of Full Beaver Moon advisors:\nChief Executive Officer of R&D\, Research & Development\, Salley May\, keeper of the Luna Macaroona flame\, Dam! \nunder the aegis of:\nThe eternal Tom Murrin\, The Alien Comic and Full Moon Show founder as they harness and focus the power of the Full Beaver Moon and its beams of industry\, teamwork\, dental health\, and play\, along with that special and distinct Full Beaver Moon energy\, the double entendre. Dam! Dam! Dam! \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. \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. \nPhoto copyright Eric McNatt 2016

SUMMARY:TOYO TSUCHIYA Invisible Underground
DESCRIPTION:[Tsuchiya’s images] feel like reports of life on another\, hipper planet\, of which little trace would remain were it not for his persistent and attentive recording eye.\n—Holland Cotter\, “Six O’Clock Observed\,” New York Times\, 1999 \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present a survey of the work Toyo Tsuchiya\, including photographs from the 99 nights at No Se No\, a ten foot print of his iconic image of a garden party in full swing amidst the rubble and ruin or a tenement building\, and other series that capture the Lower East Side during its heyday in the 1980s. His photographs embody Toyo’s search for human connection and identity. \nAlso featured will be a large-scale\, life-sized installation depicting workers in Chinatown on their lunch break with the pathos and presence reminiscent of Ed Kienholz\, as well as new\, colorful paintings inspired by 30 years of shooting in New York City. \nTsuchiya is best known for his photographs of NYC’s Lower East Side art scene in the 1980’s and as an originator of the legendary Rivington School. In these highly personalized images of New York’s Lower East Side since 1980\, Tsuchiya documented what was happening around him—the people\, performance art\, and the Lower East Side art scene—and especially the legendary underground movement of the collaborative Rivington School. \nBorn near Mt. Fuji in Japan\, Tsuchiya grew up in Kyushu and Yokohama. After graduating from the Kanagawa Ken Technical High School for Industrial Design he began his career as an artist. Living in Osaka\, Yokohama\, and Tokyo\, he studied and exhibited paintings\, drawings and collage within a small circle of the 1970’s art world in Tokyo. In the late 70’s he turned to photography\, and soon moved to New York City. \nTsuchiya was a creative force behind the No Se No Social Club\, the stage for many art happenings\, including the 99 Nights\, a marathon of free performances and exhibitions. In his photographs\, Tsuchiya captures the style\, energy\, and free-spirited creativity of the time\, and contextualized these happenings in a fine-art lineage. \nTsuchiya photographed the great performers of the era\, including Stelarc\, Jack Smith\, Tehching Hsieh\, Monty Cantsin and Karen Black\, to name a few. He also curated shows with now notable artists like Ai Weiwei. His work has\, as Tsuchiya acknowledges\, “become part of the underground history of the Lower East Side art and life of the 80s. All of my intention and passion of the 80s remains in those images.” \nIconoclastic and against the grain\, Holland Cotter says in his review: His subject wasn’t the professionalized East Village gallery phenomenon but the fringe activity taking place in the working class\, primarily Hispanic neighborhood centered below Houston Street on Rivington Street. There\, art\, music and performance intermingled; graffiti and Neo-Expression held their own after their vogue had passed elsewhere. The atmosphere was squatter-anarchic; artists\, collectively referred to as the Rivington School\, met in clubs and worked in the street. \nIn recent years\, Tsuchiya has turned to collage\, drawing\, sculpture and mixed media and continues to explore new media and outlets for his relentless creativity.

SUMMARY:The Rivington School: 80s New York Underground
DESCRIPTION:December 8\, 2016\nIn honor of the exhibition Toyo Tsuchiya Invisible Underground and the publication of Rivington School: 80s New York Underground\, Howl! Happening is pleased to present the launch of a new book celebrating the Rivington School. Iconoclastic and populist\, the Rivington School is an outgrowth of the No Se No social club and gallery founded in 1983 by “Cowboy” Ray Kelly\, a one-time farmer from Texas\, who maintained that “anyone can be an artist\,” that everything is a work of art. The School was also the origin of the Rivington Sculpture Garden\, a guerrilla sculpture space containing the massive\, welded metal junk sculpture that the group has become known for. \nA vortex of creativity\, Rivington School artists devised ways to live\, create art\, and exhibit with very little money and virtually no media attention. As David Dalton says in his essay for Tsuchiya’s catalog\, “It was a scene so underground that it never came up for air.” \nDecember 8\, 2016 / 6 PM\nR.U.O.K. OR WAT?\nRivington School: 80s New York Underground\nPublication Party\nJoin editor Istvan Kantor for an evening celebrating the new tome including a ritual book burning of the first copy by Monty Cantsin accompanied by Angel Eyedealism\, as well as Rivington School contributors\, and Black Dog publisher Duncan McCorquodale from London.\nRivington School: 80s New York Underground documents the work of the Rivington School group of artists that emerged during the turbulent 80s in the heart of the Lower East Side. The RS set an internationally important precedent for contemporary alternative practice. The book explores the underground scene that formed around this group of artists\, named after an abandoned public school building on Rivington Street. Here\, like-minded street artists\, sculptors and performers set about to create works that refuted and challenged an increasingly commercialized art world. \n

SUMMARY:R.U.O.K. Or Wat?
DESCRIPTION:December 8\, 2016 / 6 PM / Free\nPublication Party Rivington School: 80s New York Underground \nPart of The Rivington School Performance Series \nIn honor of the exhibition Toyo Tsuchiya Invisible Underground and the publication of Rivington School: 80s New York Underground\, Howl! Happening is pleased to present a series of events that look deeply into the art and practice of the Rivington School. Join editor Istvan Kantor for an evening celebrating the new tome\, including a ritual book burning of first copy by Monty Cantsin accompanied by Angel Eyedealism\, as well as Rivington School contributors\, and Black Dog publisher Duncan McCorquodale from London. \n Rivington School: 80s New York Underground documents the work of the Rivington School group of artists that emerged during the turbulent 80s in the heart of the Lower East Side. The RS set an internationally important precedent for contemporary alternative practice. The book explores the underground scene that formed around this group of artists\, named after an abandoned public school building on Rivington Street. Here\, like-minded street artists\, sculptors and performers set about to create works that refuted and challenged an increasingly commercialized art world. \nSituated across the road from the school\, the No Se No social club—also run by Rivington School founder “Cowboy” Ray Kelly—acted as a meeting and performance space for many of the artists involved\, such as Kembra Pfahler\, Dragan Ilic\, Arleen Schloss\, Taylor Mead\, Michael Carter\, Jack Waters\, and Phoebe Legere\, and was where the renowned 99 Nights of performance took place in 1983\, documented every night by the photographer Toyo Tsuchiya for exhibition the following day. The School was also the origin of the guerrilla sculpture space the Rivington Sculpture Garden\, which opened in 1985 and was destroyed more than once by city authorities. Its construction/destruction is documented in the Super 8 film Anti-Credo by Monty Cantsin aka Istvan Kantor. Formed in a vacant lot next to the No Se No club\, the evolving collective space was the site of the massive\, welded metal junk sculpture that the group has become known for. \nThe Rivington School gave rise to a number of highly regarded artists\, including E.F.Higgins III\, Ray Kelly\, David Mora Catlett\, Shalom Neuman\, Toyo Tsuchiya\, Istvan Kantor\, Linus Coraggio\, Paolo Buggiani\, Tovey Halek\, Jack Vengrow\, Ken Hiratsuka\, Gloria McLean\, FA-Q (Kevin Wendall)\, Julius Klein\, Geoff “Gizmo” Gilmore\, JIM C\, Angela Idealism and Peter Missing. \nAbout the Rivington School \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Full Moon Show Philly/KONDOR8 Empowerment Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, December 13 / 2 PM / Free \n THE FULL MOON SHOW \nA Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention \nAs a special tribute to Tom Murrin\, the late godfather of performance art\, Howl! Happening presents its 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. Whether 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.

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. \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. 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 he dubbed The Full Moon Show at Performance Space 122\, at the La Mama Experimental Theatre Club (where he started) and at Dixon Place. 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.

SUMMARY:The Please Kill Me Holiday Party
DESCRIPTION:December 20 / 7 PM / Free\nWith readings by Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain \nLurid\, insolent\, disorderly\, funny\, sometimes gross\, sometimes mean and occasionally touching . . . Resounds with authenticity.       —The New York Times \n Howl! Happening welcomes Legs and Gillian in celebration of the 20th anniversary of their quintessential\, uncensored oral history. A Time Out and Daily News Top 10 Book of the Year upon its initial release\, Please Kill Me is the first oral history of the most nihilist of all pop movements. Iggy Pop\, Danny Fields\, Dee Dee and Joey Ramone\, Malcom McLaren\, Jim Carroll\, and scores of other famous and infamous punk figures lend their voices to this definitive account of that outrageous\, explosive era. From its origins in the twilight years of Andy Warhol’s New York reign to its last gasps as 80s corporate rock\, the phenomenon known as punk is scrutinized\, eulogized\, and idealized by the people who were there and who made it happen. \nTelling it like it is . . . that’s what Howl! is about. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Jonny Detiger Amplified Space
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project Presents\nA Kaleidoscope Installation for the Senses\n \nExploring how art interacts with space and how this interaction can yield surprising\, unexpected gifts\, Howl! Happening is pleased to present artist and designer Jonny Detiger’s Amplified Space. Detiger’s work celebrates life and joyfully bridges the gap between the mundane and the sublime. For this show at Howl!\, Detiger constructs a colorful walk-in environment in constant flux where the viewer is invited to participate\, interact\, and influence their changing surroundings. \nResonating with Howl! Happening’s connection with the music scene and Allen Kaprow’s sense of communal play\, Detiger’s exhibition and installation consists of three multicolored Plexiglas sculptural spaces that produce a complex pattern of constantly changing colors and shapes\, as well as independent\, interactive art works within these walls. Viewers may enter at different points in the installation and be enveloped by a kaleidoscope of optical and color combinations. These subtle nuances influence the perception and feeling of space—the “vibe” if you will—as the viewer actively participates in the variable nature of the work. \n“I am an artist and designer who through my work have always explored the understanding and communication of the human condition of happiness\,” says Detiger. “Using color\, sound\, smell and shape\, I design living interactive art environments with the aim of heightening this positive state of mind.” \nAmong the works contained in the kaleidoscopic walk-in sculptures is Boom Boom Box\, a sound installation with four individual seats that activate loops randomly generated by sitting on a chair. Sounds and beats create unique compositions depending on where\, when and with whom the viewer is sitting. Love Shower is a wall mounted\, metallic sculpture connected with a seat containing a speaker that plays “Love to Love You Baby” and showers the participant with aromatic bubbles infused with the essence of a Hawaiian flower known in folklore for its power to induce happiness. The visually dazzling Spin-O-Rama is a series of kinetic light sculptures that produce hypnotic\, mesmerizing patterns. Drum n’ Bass\, an interactive video projection\, has one screen displaying a drummer in front while the opposite features a bass player. When a viewer approaches the screen of the drummer or the bass player\, they will start playing. One musician or both can play at the same time until the viewer retreats. \nFocused on a comprehensive visual and aural immersive experience\, the viewer becomes an integral partner in creation of the work as they activate and direct the action\, progressing through the encompassing\, interactive\, emotionally bright and engaging works. \nDetiger grew up in Holland and attended school in Switzerland before studying business and economics at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and the London School of Economics and Political Science. His signature style of intricate art and mixed media sculpture explores human interaction through a kaleidoscope of iconic imagery\, text\, color and light. His furniture designs have won critical acclaim for postmodern excellence and have been featured in design books and international design magazines. \n“Art\, fashion\, design and music have always been an integral part of my life and art\,” says Detiger. “I move freely between these disciplines and create projects of ‘living art’ environments that incorporate sound\, smell\, design and color. Happiness\, humor and positivity are common themes that run through all of my work.” \n

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. \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. \nPhoto copyright Eric McNatt 2016
