SUMMARY:I ♥ John Giorno: Pierre Huyghe Sleeptalking
DESCRIPTION:Ugo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno\nOpening Reception: June 21\, 5pm \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present Pierre Huyghe’s Sleeptalking (d’après Sleep)\, \nin the heart of the neighborhood that spawned the revolutionary spirit and vanguard cultural figures who populate Giorno’s Sleeptalking narrative: Ginsberg\, Warhol\, Burroughs\, Cage\, et al. By celebrating the poet who is an inspirational and influential part of the Howl! community\, we also commemorate the tumultuous changes instigated in the 60s and 70s\, which live on and frame Howl’s mission to view contemporary culture through the lens of these groundbreaking artists. We salute John’s contributions and voice in this recontextualized tribute to Warhol’s Sleep and its dormant lead actor. \nPierre Huyghe’s 1998 work Sleeptalking (d’après Sleep) reconsiders the depiction of John Giorno in Andy Warhol’s Sleep\, 35 years after its premiere. Huyghe visited the poet in his loft at 222 Bowery\, intending to recreate Warhol’s film and have a conversation with Giorno about his life. The artist spent five days interviewing Giorno for over eight hours a day. On their final day together\, Huyghe filmed Giorno sleeping on the same bed featured in Warhol’s Sleep. \nIn the final work\, Huyghe overlaid his footage of Giorno with Warhol’s\, and through subtle shifts\, Giorno’s time-marked face imperceptibly changes and rejuvenates. This return to the original\, revealed in the film by a slow fade-out\, is accompanied by the poet’s voice. Giorno describes the context of the creation of the film Sleep and his memories of working with Warhol. As part of a series of works about the notion of interpretation\, Huyghe associates Warhol’s Sleep with the dreams and utopias of the 60s. Awoken from his long slumber\, the sleeper now speaks and becomes an actor in a different reality\, evoking the time he lived and its history. \nUgo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno is a sprawling\, multipart exhibition which presents the extraordinary life and work of the poet\, artist\, activist and muse John Giorno. Encompassing 13 venues around Manhattan—and featuring paintings\, films\, sound installations\, drawings\, archival presentations\, and a video environment—this retrospective includes Giorno’s own work\, as well as work inspired by him. \nI ♥ John Giorno is also a work of art by Giorno’s husband\, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone\, who has been creating sculptures\, paintings\, drawings\, and multimedia installations for almost three decades. With this project\, Rondinone presents a prismatic portrait\, assembled from the thoughtful arrangement of materials\, experiences\, and relationships that have defined Giorno’s astonishingly wide-ranging artistic career. Foremost\, the project is a joyous celebration of the poet’s ubiquitous presence in contemporary culture\, and his myriad contributions to it. \nRondinone’s homage to his life partner\, Ugo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno\, is the latest and by far most ambitious collaboration of Giorno’s career. The project unfolds in 18 chapters\, each a distinct exhibition sited in a non-profit or alternative space in Manhattan. Every chapter takes the form of an immersive installation\, designed by Rondinone and dedicated to a body of work\, an interest\, a relationship or a collaboration that has marked Giorno’s life. This includes his poetry\, painting\, sound work and performance; his recording projects and the founding of Giorno Poetry Systems; his AIDS activism; his Tibetan Buddhism; and his vast personal archive that comprises a history of radical art and poetry in New York during the second half of the 20th century. Several installations feature portraits of Giorno by different generations of filmmakers\, painters\, videographers and musicians. One consists of a single work: a multichannel video installation by Rondinone\, consisting of multiple images of Giorno performing one of his recent epic poems. \nUgo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno is a unique artistic and curatorial experiment. The cooperation between so many disparate nonprofit and alternative institutions in New York in the presentation of a single project is similarly unprecedented. The singularity of this monumental hybrid of artwork and exhibition is testament to the breadth\, variation\, and longevity of Giorno’s ongoing career\, as well as Rondinone’s artistic vision. Those lucky or stalwart enough to visit all 18 chapters of the exhibition will come away with an idea of both of these artists’ achievements. In its size and ambition\, I ♥ John Giorno can be seen as a citywide work of public art. At the same time\, it is an intimate expression of love and inspiration between two artist partners. It is an astonishing gesture of love on Giorno’s part to give the sum total of his life’s work to Rondinone as material for his own artwork. Perhaps\, in equal response\, Rondinone has conceived a work of art as big as Manhattan itself —Laura Hoptman \nABOUT UGO RONDINONE  \nUgo Rondinone (b. 1964\, Brunnen\, Switzerland) is a renowned mixed-media artist who lives and works in New York. Recent solo shows include: your age my age and the age of the rainbow\, The Garage Museum of Contemporary Art\, Moscow; let’s start this day again\, Contemporary Arts Center\, Cincinnati; every time the sun comes up\, Place Vendome\, Paris; girono d’oro + notti d’argento\, Mercati die Traiano\, Rome; becoming soil\, Carre d’Art\, Nîmes; seven magic mountains\, Art Production Fund and Nevada Museum of Art/Desert of Nevada; vocabulary of solitude\, Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen\, Rotterdam; Ugo Rondinone: I ♥︎ John Giorno\, Palais de Tokyo\, Paris; golden days and silver nights\, Art Gallery of New South Wales\, Sydney; and artists and poets\, Secession\, Vienna. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, the Institute of Contemporary Art\, Boston\, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, the Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis\, and the Dallas Museum of Art\, among others. Upcoming shows include the world just makes me laugh at Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive\, Berkeley; and good evening beautiful blue at Bass Museum of Art\, Miami. \nABOUT PIERRE HUYGHE \nABOUT JOHN GIORNO \nJohn Giorno (b. 1936\, New York City\, USA) is an artistic innovator who has been defying conventional definitions of poet\, performer\, political activist\, Tibetan Buddhist\, and visual artist since he emerged upon the New York art scene during the late 1950s. In the 1960s\, he began producing multi-media\, multi-sensory events concurrent with Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable. He worked with Rauschenberg’s Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T) in 1966\, and with Bob Moog in 1967-68. His breakthroughs in this area include Dial-A-Poem\, which was first presented in 1968 at the Architectural Society of New York\, and was later included in the MoMA’s Information exhibition in 1970. His contributions are significant to many culturally defining moments: the Beat generation\, Pop Art\, Punk\, the Pictures Generation\, and the hip-hop era. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, New York; Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris; Musée National d´Art Moderne\, Paris; and Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art\, Brisbane; among others. \nUgo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno is made possible in part by public funds from the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia. The I ♥ John Giorno organizing committee gratefully acknowledges generous support from Van Cleef & Arpels\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and LUMA Foundation.

SUMMARY:Paul Tschinkel Nan Goldin: In My Life / Elizabeth Murray
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening\nHowl! presents portraits of two influential artists by Paul Tschinkel from his series ART/new york. \nNAN GOLDIN: IN MY LIFE :  ART/new york No. 47\nThe program features Nan Goldin’s celebrated 1996 mid-career photography retrospective at the Whitney Museum of American Art. Goldin’s exhibition filled an entire floor at the Whitney Museum with pictures that chronicle her involvement and fascination with the alternative\, “downtown” culture of New York City\, Boston\, Berlin\, Tokyo\, etc. Culled from a period that spans more than 25 years of taking pictures\, Goldin’s desire to make a visual diary of her friends and lovers\, as well as her own life\, makes for a moving\, highly charged\, visual experience. This exhibition was organized by curator Elizabeth Sussman and selected by Nan Goldin and her life long friend and colleague David Armstrong. Included are interviews with Nan Goldin and Marvin Heiferman\, a curator/publisher and a director of Lookout in New York City. \nELIZABETH MURRAY :  ART/new york No. 29\nElizabeth Murray’s distinctive and unusual paintings made her one of the foremost artists working in New York. She died in 2007. A pioneering painter\, Murray’s distinctively shaped canvases break with the art historical tradition of illusionistic space in two dimensions. Jutting out from the wall and sculptural in form\, her paintings and watercolors playfully rejuvenate old art genres—blurring the line between the painting as an object and the painting as a space for depicting objects in 3D. Breathing life into domestic subject matter\, her paintings often include images of cups\, drawers\, utensils\, chairs\, and tables. These familiar objects are matched with cartoonish figures and floating eyeballs—macabre images that are as nightmarish as they are goofy—which reveal her fascination with dream states and the feminist psychological underbelly of domestic life. The film\, made in 1989\, includes an interview with the artist\, her dealer Paula Cooper\, The New York Times art critic Roberta Smith\, and Robert Storr\, curator of Murray’s 2005 retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art. \nImmediately following the screening of ART/new york No. 29\, Jason Andrew\, curator and manager of the Estate of Elizabeth Murray will be in conversation with with the poet and author Greg Masters. There will also be a brief Q&A. \nGREG MASTERS along with Michael Scholnick and Gary Lenhart\, edited the poetry magazine Mag City\, and produced the cable TV show\, Public Access Poetry\, now available online thanks to the Poetry Project. His poems have appeared in a number of glorious obscure publications and he is the author of six books published by Crony Books\, including For the Artists: Critical Writing\, Volumes 1 and 2. \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 video 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 arts program—a gallery on television. In 1979\, Paul Tschinkel began taping young bands in New York clubs for the cable show\, which aired 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). \n

SUMMARY:Paul Tschinkel Laurie Anderson: On Performance
DESCRIPTION:ART/new york No. 54 – Film Screening\nLaurie Anderson is best known as a performance artist who uses music\, technology\, handmade instruments\, words\, film\, actors and props to tell her tales. Although Anderson describes herself as a “story-teller\,” her performances are rich in visual imagery and have often been presented in art galleries and museums. ART/new york has been a fan of Anderson’s work for some time and on this program we see an exhibition of early pieces taped in 1984 at the Queens Museum and a 1998 installation at Artists Space in New York City. Included are two lengthy interviews with Anderson: one in her downtown loft and a second one in 1999 shortly before her performance of “Moby Dick” at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Also included is an interview with RoseLee Goldberg\, a performance art historian and author of a recent Abrams book on Anderson. \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 video 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 arts program—a gallery on television.

SUMMARY:Christopher Felver Don Judd and Tony Cragg
DESCRIPTION:Documentary Film Screening \nDon Judd’s Marfa Texas \nAn artist and critic\, there was a considerable duality to Donald Judd (1928-1994). He was at once a man of intellectual rigor and a multidisciplinary conceptualist who deftly moved towards a new minimalism. In 1971\, he relocated from the center of the art world\, New York\, to the prairies of Presidio County in Southern Texas\, 20 miles from the Mexican border. It is here\, in Marfa\, Texas\, that Chris Felver interviews Judd\, providing insights into his process\, his materials—aluminum\, brass\, Plexiglas and concrete—and the freedom he sought to achieve from institutions trying to define what art is. A rare visit with an exceptional talent and a compelling destination for art aficionados. \nJudd expounds upon his lifelong preoccupation with aesthetics\, his persistent efforts to place his work in the proper environment\, and his dismissal of contemporary architecture. Intercut throughout this forthright interview are scenes from Judd’s loft in Manhattan’s SoHo district\, the permanent installation and restored buildings at Marfa\, Texas\, and his Chinati Foundation at Fort D. A. Russell. \nThe film contains the last interview with the minimalist sculptor before his death in 1994. Critic John Yau provides commentary in this extensive overview of Judd’s career\, and his pivotal role in the development of post-war contemporary art and architecture. Donald Judd was voted one of the 20th century’s most influential artists by ARTnews magazine. \nTony Cragg: In Celebration of Sculpture \nOne of the most versatile sculptors working today is Tony Cragg. Shaping forms in plastic\, glass\, stone\, wood\, steel\, fiberglass\, and found objects he has been making magic come alive in hard materials since emerging in the mid-70s. His vocabulary is wide and his ideas explode across a broad creative landscape\, destabilizing our normal viewing habits\, while widening our perspective and attitudes. In Celebration of Sculpture is cinema verité at its most powerful. Cragg reveals himself while installing exhibitions of his work internationally\, and restlessly moving around in his Wuppertal studio. \nFilmed in New York\, California\, London\, Eindhoven\, and Dusseldorf\, one senses the peripatetic nature of a restless creator. The sculptor’s workplace is where he prefers to be. It is there that he finds his center\, surrounded by the materials and tools of his profession. Wit\, openness\, and humility balance the impact of a prolific output. Cragg is adamant over man’s continuing encroachment on the natural world. His forms delight\, confound\, and challenge the mind at a profoundly visceral level. Lyrical intensity\, ecstasy forged in whimsy\, and a feeling for deep images burrowed within human consciousness are all part of his oeuvre. \nAbout Chris Felver

SUMMARY:The Wendy Wild Story
DESCRIPTION:A Documentary by Glenn Andreiev\nWendy Wild was a force majeure on the EV/LES and downtown art\, performance\, and music scene\, from the 70s through the 90s—until her untimely death from breast cancer in 1996. Her work with John Sex; with countless venues like Club 57\, Pyramid\, The Roxy\, and Jackie 60; and with a bevy of bands\, including Pulsallama\, Peter Zaremba’s Love Delegation\, and Das Fürlines\, was unrivaled. Her wide range of influences included Joey Heatherton\, Grace Slick\, Tiny Tim\, Moondog\, The Monks\, and Slim Whitman. \nHer younger brother\, Glenn Andreiev\, has crafted a loving and honest portrayal of his legendary sister\, which includes interviews with the people she knew best. \nGlenn Andreiev grew up on Long Island with his two sisters\, Lois and Wendy. His sisters helped introduce him to filmmaking during his early teens. Glenn attended the film department of the New York School of Visual Arts. He completed feature narrative\, micro-budgeted films such as Sharp and Sudden\, Every Move You Make\, and The Deed to Hell. Currently\, Andreiev teaches film history at the Cinema Arts Centre in Huntington\, NY\, and other venues. His 2016 feature documentary Lost Emulsion focuses on lost films and film preservation. \n

SUMMARY:The Full Moon Show La Moon D’Anger
DESCRIPTION:A Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention\nEvery Month on the Full Moon\nAt 4pm sharp\nLa Moon D’Anger Or\, A Moon For Kenneth Anger.\nThe dog days of summer got us feeling like fifty shades of puce.\nAnd since puce is our favorite color\, it’s got us all excited!\nThat’s why we are devoting this full moon to revolutionary film maker Kenneth Anger.\nWatch in awe as the sidewalk is transformed into an arthouse movie screen with Salley and Tony projecting epic scenes from such classics of underground cinema as Fireworks (1947)\, Puce moment (1949) Scorpio Rising (1964)\, Rabbit’s Moon (1970) and Lucifer Rising (1972)!\nSad mimes\, sexy dudes\, black magic and a technicolor photo op! \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.

Happening houses the archives of Tom Murrin. Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic\, is known as the Godfather of Performance Art.

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

SUMMARY:Richard Boch The Mudd Club
DESCRIPTION:Book Publication Party\nJoin us for an evening celebrating The Mudd Club\, with stories told by Richard Boch as well as never-before-seen images from collections of artists both famous and notorious. Legendary Mudd Club DJ David Azarch will provide a curated soundtrack exclusively for Howl! Happening. \nThe legendary Mudd Club…you probably couldn’t get in. Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jeff Koons partied with David Byrne and Lydia Lunch. Uptown cognoscenti flirted with the children of the outer boroughs as they brought the Wild Style to the city. \nThe downtown New York scene was more than punk—it was a mad\, brilliant chaos of cheap rent and experimental art. The Mudd Club was its nexus\, the place that birthed the Eighties. Keith Haring claimed membership while Andy Warhol was only a guest. Debbie Harry learned to rap from Fab Five Freddy while Klaus Nomi practiced arias and served home-cooked pastries. \nThe decadence lasted only from 1979 to 1983\, but artist Richard Boch was there for every single moment. As the doorman of the legendary Mudd Club\, he saw everything and remembers it all. “Standing outside\, staring at the crowd\, it was ‘out there’ versus ‘in here\,’ and I was on the inside. The club was filled with the famous and soon-to-be famous\, along with an eclectic core of Mudd regulars who gave the place its identity…No Wave and post-punk artists\, musicians\, filmmakers\, and writers living in a nighttime world on the cusp of two decades. There was nothing else like it.” \nAbout Richard Boch \nRichard Boch is an artist\, writer\, and lifelong New Yorker. He was born in Brooklyn\, grew up on Long Island\, and studied printmaking and painting at The University of Connecticut and Parsons New School for Design. \nIn 2016\, Boch narrated a slide presentation at Howl! Happening related to the New York club scene. Recent exhibitions of his work include a group show at McDaris Fine Art\, a suite of multimedia prints titled A Throwback Thrown Forward\, and a series of “Page Paintings” as part of No Wave Heroes. In addition\, Boch is currently editing Bobby Grossman’s Low Fidelity: Still Photographs 1975­–1983\, and recently contributed a sidebar to Allan Tannenbaum’s Grit and Glamour: The Street Style\, High Fashion\, and Legendary Music of the 1970s.

SUMMARY:Jackie Curtis’ Glamour\, Glory and Gold
DESCRIPTION:A Staged Reading Directed by Brian Butterick AKA Hattie Hathaway\nStarring Joyce Miller\, Eileen Dover\, Flloyd\, Poison Eve\, Tina Benéz\, David Ilku\, Tennessee and featuring Mr. Joe Preston as Flo Ziegfeld. \nFifty years ago\, in 1967\, the Off-Off-Broadway classic Glamour\, Glory and Gold (The Life & Legend of Nola Noonan\, Goddess & Star) by Jackie Curtis had its initial run at The Playwrights Workshop Club in the West Village\, starring Melba La Rose\, Jr. and featuring the gorgeously fragile Candy Darling. The next year\, the show was remounted starring Jackie herself\, as well as a young and handsome Robert De Niro. \nThe show’s third run was interrupted after Jackie had an altercation on Avenue D with a knife-wielding assailant\, collapsing onstage midperformance due to a damaged kidney. Jackie would return to the boards some weeks later to finish the run—less one kidney. \nIn the 90s\, there was a revival starring the incomparable D’Arcy Drollinger\, featuring Laverne Cox and directed by Jackie’s cousin Joe Preston\, and in 2003 it was mounted at La MaMa. But it was the performance that took place under the auspices of the 56 Bleecker Gallery in the 80s that was\, by all reports\, truly a surreal affair. Directed by Taylor Mead and starring Ondine\, Penny Arcade\, John Heys\, Harry Koutoukas\, and Dame Margo Howard-Howard\, among others\, it was pure brilliance—harrowing\, heavenly\, and absolutely genius. \nAs part of Love Among the Ruins\, this seventh presentation of the camp classic will be delivered as a staged reading: hearkening back to the cacophonous rhapsody of 56 Bleecker and beckoning whispers of The Pyramid Players\, The Blacklips Performance Cult\, and Jackie’s Playhouse to illuminate Curtis’ spot-on crafting of a theatrical masterpiece. \nDirected by Brian Butterick AKA Hattie Hathaway with David van Leesten.\nSon et lumière by Carter Edwards.

SUMMARY:A.J. Lees Mentored by a Madman: The William Burroughs Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch Featuring A.J. Lees and Ira Silverberg\nHowl! Happening in collaboration with New York Review Books and Notting Hill Editions is pleased to present an evening celebrating the U.S. publication of Mentored by a Madman: The William Burroughs Experiment by internationally distinguished neurologist A.J. Lees. The author’s groundbreaking research on Parkinson’s disease was profoundly impacted by William Burroughs\, who wrote Naked Lunch. In this extraordinary memoir\, Lees follows Burroughs into the rainforest in search of cures for his patients. Through self-experimentation\, he gains insights that encourage him to pursue new lines of pharmacological research. Reminiscent of the literary work of Oliver Sacks\, Mentored by a Madman calls for the return of imagination and open-mindedness to medical science. \nPlease join us for this very special event to honor A.J. Lees\, who will regale us with a reading from Mentored by a Madman and talk about his fascinating and provocative work\, joined by editor and publishing legend Ira Silverberg. Conversation\, book signing\, and mingling to follow! \n“Burroughs had become an unlikely prophet and a trusted oracle…. He encouraged me to get away from concrete thinking\, float in outer space\, and to run alongside a beam of light…. He also reminded me that research should not be limited to institutions and that scientists must find new ways to regain the power to explore. He had added a strange grace to my research that had helped me to fly crookedly in my curiosity for cures.”\n—A.J. Lees\, author of Mentored by a Madman

SUMMARY:Kevin Duffy John Fleck is Who You Want Him to Be
DESCRIPTION:Documentary Screening\nKevin Duffy’s groundbreaking documentary John Fleck Is Who You Want Him to Be focuses on the legendary performance artist who was the target of government-sanctioned homophobia. In 1990\, at the height of so-called “Culture Wars” and the AIDS crisis\, the controversy led to an ambiguous U.S. Supreme Court ruling which implicated the separation of church and state\, freedom of speech\, and government funding for the arts. \nIn this film\, which explores shifting identity and how we define ourselves in relation to the other\, Duffy reinvents the documentary form by implicating the viewer in a dialogue with Fleck. He uses 25 years’ worth of archival footage as a memory track to his profile of the revolutionary artist and ultimate survivor\, including shocking performance footage not seen since the controversy. \nThe filmmaker—who trails the artist as he prepares for performances at the New Museum in New York\, and California State University\, Long Beach—intercuts raw\, archival footage with a compelling interview\, in a kaleidoscopic portrait of this often misrepresented innovator.

SUMMARY:John Tytell Beat Transnationalism
DESCRIPTION:Publication Party\nHowl! presents an evening with author John Tytell\, who examines the importance of Mexico to the Beat Generation in his new book\, Beat Transnationalism. Allen Ginsberg once told him that he would not understand the Beat Generation without first experiencing life in Mexico. Heeding this advice\, Tytell headed south to Oaxaca while writing Naked Angels\, the first book to explore the development of Beat literature. \nIn Beat Transnationalism\, the author takes a close look at the connection between Mexico and the Beats\, while recounting—via letters from that period to his wife Mellon—his own experiences in Oaxaca. The primary focus is the importance of Mexico to the three best-known Beat figures: Allen Ginsberg\, William S. Burroughs\, and Jack Kerouac. Yet this book delves further\, aiming to explore transnationalism among other members of the Beat Generation\, and also artists of the post-Beat era. As such\, it also includes essays on Bonnie Bremser\, Lawrence Ferlinghetti\, James Laughlin\, and Patti Smith\, among others. Published by Beatdom Books. \nAbout John Tytell\nJohn Tytell is best known as the author of Naked Angels: The Lives and Literature of the Beat Generation; Ezra Pound: The Solitary Volcano\, and seven other works of non-fiction. His essays and reviews have appeared in numerous publications\, including Vanity Fair\, Partisan Review\, Fame\, The American Scholar\, The Antioch Review\, Artforum\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, The New York Times\, and the Los Angeles Review of Books. He is a founding editor of American Book Review\, and has taught modern American literature at Queens College\, CUNY since 1963. He lives with his wife Mellon\, a photographer\, in New York City and Vermont.

SUMMARY:Mayhem Moon with the Mayhem Sisters Salley May and Nancy May Perry
DESCRIPTION:A Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention\nEvery Month on the Full Moon\nAt 4pm sharp\nYou know that dream? The one where you’re on a prison planet and the inmates only know one joke. The one where an ICE agent\, a doctor\, and a scary clown walk into a bar and the bartender says\, “Why the long shadow?” Then come the birds. They’re crashing against the windows. You open the window to let them out. They fly free. You try to follow them\, but the bars are too close together. And you’re locked out. \nThe Mayhem Moon will punch that dream in the face. Insiders will be exiled\, inmates will take office\, jesters will ascend to the throne. From the luminous minds of the MAYHEM sisters\, Salley May and Nancy May Perry\, comes this skeleton key to the locks that keep you in and out\, featuring performances by Annie Lanzillotto\, Aru Hangar\, Simba Yangala\, Ninafrika Kameroruskova\, Victoria Kernmayer\, Tony Stinkmetal and Salley May. \nor a Harvest Moon of Mayhem and Madness! \nSuggested attire: Horizontal Prison Stripes\, Fall 2017 Hospital Runway Gowns\, Alien 3 Jumpsuit Realness\, Tippi Hedren Bird-hats\, Giant Jangling Key Rings\, Hobo Bindles\, Auditory Hallucinations\, Westwood Straitjackets\, Lagerfeld Guard Uniforms\, Carrier Pigeons. \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.

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

SUMMARY:Masao Gozu Time Frame
DESCRIPTION:Opening Party: Friday\, October 13th\, 6pm\nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present Time Frame\, a selection of sculptures and photographs by artist Masao Gozu. Born in Japan in 1946\, Gozu moved to New York in 1970 to attend the Brooklyn Museum Art School\, where he began an artistic practice of structuring a body of work over time that literally “frames” the people and architecture of downtown New York. \nFrom 1971–1990\, Gozu single-mindedly photographed New York City residents in their tenement apartment windows. An unsung gem of urban documentary\, the Windows series is evocative of the work of Robert Frank\, Berenice Abbott\, and Garry Winogrand in its penetrating look at a segment of American culture\, specifically portraits of the denizens of the Lower East Side. \nActively soliciting attention or simply captured musing in the frame\, his subjects are the focus of his humanist exploration. The architecture of the building facades gives these portraits a carefully considered perspective and compositional harmony. As Gozu says\, “For me the window is a mirror\, a mirror in which I see myself through time.” \nSo interested has Gozu been in the material and spatial qualities of these windows\, that he went on to produce large scale sculptural representations of them—many on view at the gallery. An evolving aspect of the same aesthetic as the Windows series\, he has taken the idea one step further\, making full-size windows themselves the subject of a series. These monumental sculptures are created from the brick facades and window frames of demolished buildings. Bringing the city’s vanishing neighborhoods into the gallery\, this scavenged and reconstituted detritus spotlights the site-specific nature of his work. \nSerial imagery\, time\, and spatial exploration are at the core of Gozu’s aesthetic—a common link in his commentary on life in the city. His Harry’s Bar photographs are like a time lapse “moving picture\,” tracing the fluorescence and decay of one specific neighborhood landmark. Through serial images of the front window\, we watch the passage of time—plants appear and then die; barflies come and go; an improvised attempt to change Harry’s to Harold’s signals a change in ownership; and a “Going Out of Business” sign\, the bar’s demise\, is the final visual echo\, concluding the story of one place that stands in for the loss and gentrification of the city. \nAbout Masao Gozu \nMasao Gozu was born in Nagano\, Japan in 1946. He graduated from the Tokyo Fine Arts School in 1970. In 1971\, he was awarded the Max Beckmann scholarship to the Brooklyn Museum Art School\, where he studied from 1971–1973. In 1990\, he won the special Jury Prize at Le Mois de Photo in Paris.                                                                         Masao Gozu’s work has been displayed internationally from New York to Paris and Japan\, including shows at the legendary SoHo gallery OK Harris. His work is included in the collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Margulies Collection\, and Lowe Art Museum\, in Miami; the Musée National d’Art Moderne in the Centre Pompidou\, Paris; and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. He lives in the East Village\, New York City. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Queer Butoh 2017
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening in association with The New York Butoh Institute and Vangeline Theater presents Queer Butoh 2017\, a free three-hour evening of site-specific Butoh performances with three LGBT/Q Butoh artists from San Francisco\, Chicago and New York: Angela Newsham\, Holly Chernobyl\, and Will Atkins. The event will take place on Thursday\, October 19\, 2017 at Howl! Happening\, 6 E. First Street\, NYC. For more information\, visit www.vangeline.com. \nFree Admission \nThe artists will dance throughout the evening yet maintain a fluid space of interaction with the audience. The unique minimalist soundscape featured includes recordings of the artists in candid conversations about the role\, which butoh has played in their lives. The installation will take place against the unique background of sculptures by Japanese artist Mazao Gozu. \n“Butoh is essentially the dance of the marginalized\, and the LGBTQ 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\, shocked 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. \nHolly Chernobyl has been a working artist for over a decade–her work spanning poetry\, storytelling\, bunraku puppetry\, physical theater\, and performance art. She has presented work in many Chicago spaces\, including the Japanese Cultural Center. Her work has also been performed in Seattle\, Brooklyn\, Finland\, Germany\, the UK\, and shown in Boston\, Quebec and Brazil. She continues to create solo pieces and collaborate with a talented array of international artists\, through her dance theater company\, NIGHTPARADE. Recently\, she was awarded a grant through the Finlandia Foundation\, and a 2 month residency in Berlin-based Altes Finanzamt Atelier. \nBorn and raised on the island of Oahu\, Angela Newsham developed a deep connection with nature. As a non-verbal learner she pays close attention to movement and creates art as a way to express her inquiries and connect with others. She is inspired by her work as a raptor rehabilitator in Oregon nurturing injured and orphaned birds of prey. She has trained extensively in Body Mind Centering with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and Sonja Riket\, and in Butoh with Vangeline Theater in New York and San Francisco\, Diego Pinon as well as Natsu Nakajima and Atsushi Takenouchi. She incorporates her voice in her work influenced by the Hawaiian chanting she grew up with and the traditional training in classical\, Middle Eastern and Balkan techniques. \nWill Atkins – A graduate of Hofstra University’s B.F.A of Performing Arts\, Will’s body of work is heavily influenced by his study in movement art forms\, especially Butoh. While at school\, Will received High Honors for his senior thesis exploring the paradoxical and transformation elements in Butoh. He studies regularly with the New York Butoh Institute and has produced and assisted on several Vangeline Theater projects. Will has performed in movement based shows around the city\, creating solo works and masks for WalkUpArts’ productions\, collaborating with local costume artists\, and more recently performed in Esperanza Spalding’s Virgin Writes earlier this year. \nThe Vangeline Theater has been a leader in the development of contemporary Butoh dance since its founding in 2002. Informed by the expansive vision of pioneering choreographer Vangeline\, the Vangeline Theater brings to life a timeless and uniquely American style of Butoh that continues to captivate audiences. The Vangeline Theater is home to the New York Butoh Institute\, providing superior Butoh training to our community. The New York Butoh Institute is dedicated to the advancement of Butoh in the 21st century\, with a special emphasis on scientific research as it relates to Butoh. www.vangeline.com

SUMMARY:Rick Berlin Songs with Subtitles
DESCRIPTION:Cabaret Performance and Reading\nHowl! Happening is thrilled to present a true original—Rick Berlin—reading and playing from his first book\, The Paragraphs\, published by Cutlass Press. Created from fragments used to write songs\, this memoir recalls a musical life told in bursts of wild inspiration. \n“A memoir? I guess that’s the right word\,” says Berlin. “It’s a nod to my family in some way\, but that wasn’t intentional. I’ve been writing stuff for a long\, long time. Now I guess people who think I’m weird will understand why.” \nRick Berlin\, the queer Boston music legend—former frontman of Orchestra Luna\, Berlin Airlift\, Rick Berlin: The Movie\, and The Shelley Winters Project\, and current helm of The Nickel & Dime Band—is known for his zany lyrics and unflinching wit. An integral part of the original CBGBs scene of the 70s and 80s\, Berlin will read paragraphs from his book and play related songs accompanied by solo piano. Each song references one of the paragraphs in the book. “The result can be hilarious\, disturbing\, blunt\, and particularly unflattering to myself. But it’s always honest.” \nRick Berlin is a giant on the Boston music scene. His colorful songwriting and strong stage presence have influenced countless other artists since the early 70s\, when his innovative band Orchestra Luna harnessed a potent blend of theater and music\, years before The Tubes. Throughout the decades and shifting fortunes of the business\, Rick has continued to make music with intelligence and integrity\, building an international reputation around his knotty\, singular piano playing\, straight from the heart singing\, and a style of character-based songwriting that’s drawn favorable comparisons to the likes of Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen…. —The Boston Phoenix
