SUMMARY:Robert Carrithers and Louis Armand present City Primeval: New York\, Berlin\, Prague
DESCRIPTION:Book Signing\, Performances and Projections \nThis book perfectly captures the unique personalities of the many artists\, musicians\, writers\, performers\, and just plain kooks who made the 80s zeitgeist rock! —Ann Magnuson \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present an evening with Robert Carrithers and friends celebrating the publication of City Primeval: New York\, Berlin\, Prague.  Master of ceremonies Penny Arcade is joined by a host of artists\, poets and musicians including: the music and poetry of Puma Perl with Walter Steding (violin)\, and Joff Wilson (guitar); the inimitable Tish and Snooky; Steve Dalichinsky reading his work from the book; Performer Gaby Bila-Günther aka Lady Gaby from Berlin; musician Mark Steiner from Oslo; Gary Ray reading his work; and a short music video performance by Julius Klein. \nCity Primeval: New York\, Berlin\, Prague is an anthology written and curated by New York photographer and Club 57 aficionado Robert Carrithers\, and writer and critical theorist Louis Armand.

SUMMARY:Tessie Chua The Shame of Disco
DESCRIPTION:Performance and Video Screening\nfeaturing Animal X\nComedienne and performance luminary Tessie Chua brings her hilarious take on living in the East Village during the late 70s—its grungiest heyday\, when sharing your apartment with cockroaches was the norm—in this commentary on culture and the times. There’s mohawks\, blazing colored hair\, leather and bondage clothes\, and Roxy\, a very opinionated cockroach with gourmet tastes. No bodega! Yes\, Dean & Deluca! Roxy’s been through the Roach Potential Movement and learned meditation at the Dalai Lama’s knee. As part of the post-punk community\, Tessie and Roxy both vocalized the movement’s collective hatred for disco. \n“I really wasn’t sure why everyone hated disco. Roxy and I liked PIL\, but we also liked disco. I’d be mortified when my friend Animal X or two-thirds of Mission of Burma would go through my record collection and see that it contained Donna Summer\, and worse yet\, Patrick Juvet\,” says Chua. The New Wave Vaudeville Show\, meth and heroin addicts\, Keith Haring\, Club 57\, CBGB and Danceteria\, loser bands\, Manic Panic\, and John Sex’s apartment all are observed through Roxy’s jaundiced and satiric eye. \nThe evening will also feature\, Android X\, a performance by Animal X\, the Ultra Punk fashion designer from the 70’s and 80’s in the East Village.  Her Shows were known for her wild fashion shows that included punk  celebrities\, porn stars and other surprises. The performance will feature a film by Marty Abrahams and animation by Marjan Moghadon \nAlso on view is the short video The Scary Truth About Cockroaches and Landlords which is included in Club 57: Film\, Performance\, and Art in the East Village\, 1978–1983 at the Museum of Modern Art. \nAbout Tessie Chua \nBorn and raised in San Francisco\, California\, home to beatniks and hippies\, she studied art at San Francisco State University and the San Francisco Art Institute. A teenager during the Summer of Love\, she remarks: “People walked down the street happily greeting each other\, ‘Have a nice day!’ I moved to New York in 1974\, people answered back\, ‘Fuck You!’” In New York\, she performed with the New Wave Vaudeville Show that put her smack in the middle of the post-punk Community. The show was an opportunity to write her first comedy sketch—In the Name of God—casting herself as a sadistic nun who accidently beats a schoolgirl to death for taking the name of God in vain one too many times. More opportunities followed at Club 57\, Mudd Club and other downtown clubs. \nIn 2015\, she started working on an ongoing solo performance about her life in the East Village\, spurred in part by meeting young comics who said\, “That must have been a romantic era to have lived through.”  “Romantic? I would call it gritty\,” she says. \nAbout Android X \nAnimal X explores the possibilities of a future when we will be ghosts in the machine\, our minds downloaded into robots. Featuring a film of her work by Martin Abrams and inspired by her participation in the Club 57 exhibit at the MoMA\, and Drawing on her early career\, this multimedia performance combines video\, puppetry and costume. Animal X is an award-winning performance and multidisciplinary artist whose work spans four decades\, including nightclub appearances\, Art Gallery installations\,  theater Productions\, NEA fellowship\, appearing at wild and crazy music festivals\, as well touring the country with her theatrical company “I Believe in Fairies Productions”.

SUMMARY:Merrill Aldighieri V.J. Diaries
DESCRIPTION:World Premiere Screening \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present the premiere of Merrill Aldighieri’s new film\, “V.J. Diaries”\, tracing the birth of the video jockey or “VJ.” The film is the story of Aldighieri and her pioneering work creating an improvised live video feed to interpret the DJ’s music at the legendary club Hurrah—a hotbed of creativity. “V.J. Diaries” looks at her role amplifying the connection between music and imagery in nightclubs. Her historic filming of the live performances of punk\, new wave\, jazz and industrial music form a diary marking her time at this seminal club. Guest DJ Bill Bahlman\, who worked alongside Aldighieri at Hurrah\, provides his inimitable ambiance to this HOWL! Happening. \nMore than 200 hours of live music performances were recorded by Aldighieri during a year at Hurrah (1980-1981). Excerpts from 30 different live shows include legendary bands like New Order\, Mission of Burma\, Magazine\, Gang of Four\, The Psychedelic Furs\, A Certain Ratio\, and Bush Tetras\, as well as interviews with Cynthia Sley\, Jim Fouratt\, Anita Sarko\, Dee Pop\, Ron Jagger\, Bill Laswell\, Jim Jarmusch\, Stephanie Kaye\, Alan Vega\, George Wrage and many more\, blended with rare archival footage and visually daring animation inspired by her nightly VJ improvisations. Projections of her scratch-animated loops will add to the atmosphere of the evening. \n“V.J. Diaries” brings to life the classic music performance archive Aldighieri created. Fans of the period will discover the music has not lost its freshness and fire. Mentored by nightclub impresario Jim Fouratt\, the rock critic/booking agent Ruth Polsky discovered and brought to the stage emerging talent featured in this film. That timeless sense of discovery is what “V.J. Diaries” is all about. This is a one-time screening so don’t miss it! \nWatch the trailer here!

SUMMARY:International Butoh: Panel Discussion and Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Cristina Elias\, Tetsuro Fukuhara and Vangeline\nHowl! Happening and New York Butoh Institute are pleased to present a symposium and panel discussion focused on International Butoh in the 21st century\, in conjunction with a series of live performances with Butoh Master Tetsuro Fukuhara (Tokyo\, Japan) and Vangeline. Sign language interpretation will be provided for this event. \nOver the past 60 years\, Butoh has become a universal and international movement language. Developed in post-World War II Japan\, the minimalist avant-garde dance form has grown\, evolved\, and traveled worldwide. Butoh is taught and performed across the United States; in Europe\, Africa\, and Latin America. While the form has its roots in Japan\, there are Butoh artists of all cultures\, backgrounds\, and ethnicities\, continuing its legacy into the 21st century. \nIn International Butoh: Collaboration and Symposium\, Butoh master artists Tetsuro Fukuhara and Vangeline will dive into the past\, present\, and future of Butoh as a permeable and boundary-blending art form that reaches across geographic and cultural divides. \nThe performances with Fukuhara and Vangeline Theater/New York Butoh Institute premiere November 17–19\, 2017 at Triskelion Arts in Brooklyn. For more information on the symposium and performances visit Vangeline Theater. \nAbout the Artists \n Tetsuro Fukuhara\, president of Tokyo Space Dance\, is a second – generation movement artist of “Improvisation Butoh.” Tetsuro studied under Akira Kasai\, and Butoh founders Kazuo Ohno and Tatsumi Hijikata. At 68\, Tetsuro represents the oldest generation of Japanese Butoh. His style of “New Butoh Space Dance” is a way to socialize Butoh for the general public\, bringing together elements of dance\, architecture\, information\, and design. \n Vangeline is an internationally acclaimed French-born\, New York City-based Butoh choreographer and is regarded widely as an expert in her field in the United States. She is the founder of the New York Butoh Institute and artistic director of the Vangeline Theater\, an all-female dance company firmly rooted in the tradition of Japanese Butoh while carrying it into the 21st century. Vangeline’s socially conscious performances tie together Butoh and activism. Her performances have dealt with subjects as varied as feminism\, climate change\, war\, and perceptions of gender. \nTetsuro Fukuhara and Vangeline represent the second and third generations of Butoh\, a physical symbol of evolution—teacher to student\, man to woman\, past to future. For this collaboration\, the artists will work together to share their artmaking practices to create new work. \nAdditional Panelist:\nFrom Brazil\, Cristina Elias\, Artist\, choreographer \nCristina Elias’s work sets its focus on building bridges between different artistic codes. In 2013\, she was awarded the Prize “FUNARTE – Women in Visual Arts” (Ministry of Cultural\, Brazil) and\, in 2016\, the prize “Paço das Artes – Temporada de Projetos 2017” (Paço das Artes Museum\, São Paulo\, Brazil). Her work has already been exhibited at the Museum of Image and Sound (MIS) São Paulo\, the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) São Paulo\, the MAXXI (Rome\, Italy)\, Radialsystem Berlin (Germany)\, Festival VERBO (Galeria Vermelho\, São Paulo\, Brazil) among others. She concluded a Masters in Movement Studies at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (University of London\, UK) and is currently doing her PhD at the Program of Post-graduation in Design of the University Anhembi Morumbi (São Paulo\, Brazil).

SUMMARY:Brett De Palma Dreaming on the Bowery: Post-Apocalyptic Paintings
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Saturday\, November 18 / 6 PM / Free\nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present Dreaming on the Bowery\, a retrospective of paintings by New York artist Brett De Palma. A representative selection of his nimble\, allegorical\, and chaotic figuration\, the works include contemporary paintings that serve as canvas for De Palma’s commentary on the current political and cultural climate\, as well as works made over the course of the last 30 years—replete with satire\, farce\, and funky humor. \nThis exhibition features a dazzling group of large-scale paintings that display a willful reticence of refinement and a handmade\, playful style. Furious scuffles of paint spawning half-smothered epic-historical subject matter synthesize a crude\, rude\, rough around the edges American brashness. Living and working in the late 70s and 80s\, he was on the downtown scene\, pulling from his experience of iconic clubs and galleries where fashion elites\, artists\, and musicians convened. This same gritty\, decaying street scene in New York was the stage for luminous friends like Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Keith Haring\, Kenny Scharf\, Julian Schnabel\, and David Salle. \nIn an early review in the New Yorker\, renowned critic Lisa Liebmann says\, “In paintings that show rare daring and a fond insubordination to painterly fashion that is healthier than mere disregard […] De Palma’s splendid\, crazed work is really wild at heart\, a lot wilder\, in fact\, than Fauve art.”\nA sharp yet playful humor and sardonic\, critical view of humankind is characteristic of De Palma’s personality and his approach to creating art—he describes his work as having no rules. As an artist\, his goal is to open possibilities rather than restrict freedom of style\, subject matter\, or technique. Through a synthesis of contradictory elements—hard edges and soft forms\, sensuality and roughness\, humor and darkness—De Palma’s art depicts the shifting quality of life in all its quirkiness. \n“For the artists who love their work and feel that it is meaningful\, productive efforts are a type of devotion\,” says De Palma. “My work flies in the face of fashion and demonstrates how the artist and poet must fight the gods of our society: the god of conformism\, as well as the gods of apathy\, material success\, and exploitative power.” \nWith each composition\, he aims to discover and express the depth of character and thought that springs from an authentic view of life\, untainted by commercial forces or the art market. In a world where the shrewd prosper and the hardworking innocents find themselves outside the system\, De Palma has resisted in solitary solidarity with his own vision—being alone\, keeping his distance\, maintaining the peace of mind necessary for listening to one’s deeper self. \nHerein lies the timeless fear that every society harbors about its artists. They are the ones who threaten the status quo that society is devoted to protecting. Such an artist is Brett De Palma. \nAbout Brett De Palma \nDe Palma worked at Sperone Westwater Fischer Gallery and was included in 1982’s Documenta 7\, curated by Dutch art historian Rudi Fuchs. He exhibited with Tony Shafrazi and Fawbush galleries. De Palma was the recipient of an NEA grant and has shown nationally and internationally. He taught advanced painting in the early 90s at Princeton and has been on the faculty of School of Visual Arts in New York for the past 28 years. From 1992 to 2005\, De Palma was also director of creative arts at VillageCare\, a Manhattan AIDS day treatment program. \n

SUMMARY:Joseph Keckler Dragon at the Edge of a Flat World: Portraits and Revelations
DESCRIPTION:Reading and Book Signing\nJoseph Keckler is a magician\, a vagabond of the outer boroughs with an eye for the unorthodox\, irregular\, anomalous\, and uncanny. By turns mordant and melancholy\, decadent and delirious\, these are stories to cherish\, as brilliant and charming as the writer himself. —Olivia Laing \nHowl! Happening is pleased to celebrate the publication of Joseph Keckler’s first book\, Dragon at the Edge of a Flat World\, with a reading and book signing. Reality\, embellishment\, and fantasy intermingle in 20 mesmerizing tales by the acclaimed performing artist. Published by Turtle Point Press. \nRanging between different periods of his life and written over the course of a decade\, these episodes confirm Keckler’s storytelling mastery. As we are led through corners of downtown New York and the Midwest\, we are introduced to his mentors and muses\, odd jobs and odder employers. What is it like to work for a blind man who runs an art gallery? Or for an aging club kid who administers a university classics department? Outré characters turn art into a religion and make a spectacle of daily life. Some strive to be center stage and others struggle to be seen\, but all soldier on in the margins. In this world\, you may board a familiar bus or train and find yourself in some shady netherworld\, or skipping past midnight on New Year’s Eve. There is sex with ghosts. And the incessant GPS voice that mocks the last moments of a longtime love. \nJoseph Keckler is a captivating raconteur\, with a delicious ability to transform scenes of dread into comedic triumph. His deadpan delivery contrasts brilliantly with his virtuoso appetite for moody glissandi and hectic staccati.  I marvel at the social incongruities—the faux pas\, the accidental couplings\, the identity slippages—that he narratively dishes out as if they were artisanal pizzas\, seasoned with a hilarity and drama that add up to box office boffo. \n—Wayne Koestenbaum \nAbout Joseph Keckler

SUMMARY:Basquiat: Rage to Riches
DESCRIPTION:A Documentary Film by David Shulman \nHowl! Happening and Brett De Palma are pleased to present a preview screening of the BBC production Basquiat: Rage to Riches\, by award-winning director David Shulman\, made in conjunction with the major retrospective Basquiat: Boom for Real currently on view at Barbican in London. \nThis screening is free and open to the public \nThe recent Sotheby’s auction of a Jean-Michel Basquiat Skull painting for over a hundred million dollars has catapulted this Brooklyn-born artist into the top tier of the international art market\, joining the ranks of Picasso\, de Kooning\, and Francis Bacon. This film tells Jean-Michel’s story through exclusive interviews with his two sisters Lisane and Jeanine\, who have never before agreed to be interviewed for a TV documentary. With striking candor\, Basquiat’s art dealers—including Larry Gagosian\, Mary Boone\, and Bruno Bischofberger—as well as his most intimate friends\, lovers\, and fellow artists\, expose the cash\, drugs\, and pernicious racism which Basquiat confronted on a daily basis. As historical tableaux\, visual diaries of defiance\, or surfaces covered with hidden meanings\, Basquiat’s art remains the beating heart of this story. \nphoto caption: Jean Michel Basquiat and Brett De Palma

SUMMARY:Celebrate Harry Smith with Raymond Foye
DESCRIPTION:NYC Premiere of Robert Frank’s Harry Smith Breslin Hotel NYC (1984)\nAnd the music of High Water\nRaymond Foye and Howl! Happening are pleased to present an evening celebrating the legendary filmmaker\, painter\, and folklorist Harry Smith. The event includes the New York premiere of Harry Smith Breslin Hotel NYC\, a short film by Robert Frank; a panel discussion; and a screening of Smith’s animated films with live music by High Water\, songwriter and saxophonist Will Epstein’s changing collective of electronic swing and improvised incantation. \nAlways on the verge of homelessness\, for eight years Smith occupied a tiny room in the Breslin\, a welfare hotel on Broadway and West 29th Street. Forced to move when the residence was sold and converted to a luxury hotel\, Robert Frank documented Smith packing his belongings and leaving his home for a Bowery shelter\, where he occupied a tiny steel wire mesh cubicle for several years before being rediscovered and rescued by Allen Ginsberg. \nThe short will be shown twice\, before and after a panel discussion featuring Raymond Foye and Charles Compo\, two friends who spent a great deal of time with Harry in his room at the Breslin Hotel. Although it was one of the most reclusive periods in Smith’s life\, it was also most productive. He saw very few people\, but edited his epic multi-screen magnum opus film No. 18: Mahagonny. He also compiled several recording projects (on the Kiowa\, and on shape-note singing) and returned to painting. \nThis program is produced in conjunction with Brett De Palma’s exhibition Dreaming on the Bowery: Post-Apocalyptic Paintings\, on view from November 18 through December 20\, 2017. \nPhoto of Harry Smith by Allen Ginsberg \n

SUMMARY:The Mayhem Moon
DESCRIPTION:A Stinkmetal and May Production\nIn homage to Tom Murrin’s Luna Macaroona Full Moon Shows\nProduction Director: Tony Stinkmetal\nFrom 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. Performed by Agosto Machado\, Pedro J. Rosado\, Jr.\, Annie Lanzillotto\, Aru Hangar\, Simba Yangala\, Nina Ndjemba Elemva\, Salley May and Tony Stinkmetal. The Mayhem Moon will take place in the gallery at 7 PM (instead of the sidewalk shows at 4). \nYou know that dream? The one where you’re on a prison planet and the inmates only know one joke…\nThe one where an ICE agent\, a doctor\, and a scary clown walk into a bar and the bartender says\, “Why the long shadow?”\nThen come the birds. They’re crashing against the windows.\nYou open the window to let them out. They fly free.\nYou try to follow them but the bars are too close together.\nAnd you’re locked out.\nThe Mayhem Moon will punch that dream in the face.\nInsiders will be exiled\, inmates will take office\, jesters will ascend to the throne. \nMAYHEM is coming to the rescue. \n  \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nHowl! Happening houses the archives of Tom Murrin. Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic\, is known as the Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon\, Tom performed the Full Moon Show in honor of his moon goddess\, Luna Macaroona. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as his guests—pushing the careers of such groundbreaking performers as David Cale\, David Sedaris\, Amy Sedaris\, Blue Man Group\, Ethyl Eichelberger\, Lisa Kron and many others. If not\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic. Howl! Happening’s monthly series continues that tradition\, with performances in the gallery and surprise pop up performances on the street. \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:Tomata du Plenty Coast to Coast
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition\, Panel Discussion\, and Screenings\nActor\, performer\, painter\, raconteur. Howl! Happening is pleased to present an evening celebrating the colorful coast-to-coast life of Tomata du Plenty. The show will include a one night only sale of Tomata’s watercolors from the collection of Chuck Fulton\, a slide show curated by Sandra Schulman\, and a panel discussion focusing on Tomata’s time in New York City. The panel will feature 70s era Off-Off-Broadway theater contemporaries Tish and Snooky of Manic Panic; Jack Rabid\, publisher of The Big Takeover\, who conducted one of the last interviews with Tomata; and Carlos Iglesias\, L.A. based collector and documentarian of the upcoming film on Tomata’s life. A slide show and a short film\, commissioned especially for the presentation\, will be shown. \nTomata du Plenty (1948 –2000)\, born David Xavier Harrigan\, was an artist in step with his times—careening from careers as a theater troupe founder and experimental punk band performer to multimedia artist. Born in New York and raised in California\, Tomata seized the day in San Francisco\, where he joined the Cockettes\, the legendary theater troupe in 1968. He co-founded Ze Whiz Kidz\, a lip-synch troupe\, with the late Gorilla Rose in Seattle and later performed comedy with Fayette Hauser and Gorilla at CBGB in New York\, alongside the Ramones\, and the Stilettos with a pre-Blondie Debbie Harry. \nHe made his mark with The Screamers\, a band with no guitars—just one ARP Odyssey synthesizer\, one Fender Rhodes with fuzzbox\, a minimal drum kit\, and Tomata on lead vocals. They never recorded an album but became sensations at The Masque\, the Whisky a Go Go\, and the Roxy in Los Angeles with their meticulously polished productions. \nAfter the final breakup of The Screamers in 1981\, Tomata embarked on a new career as a painter and evolved into a revered folk artist who worked the storefront gallery circuit in Seattle\, L.A.\, Miami\, New Orleans\, and San Francisco. He always said he’d sooner sell 100 of his trademark instant paintings depicting his favorite artists and other plain folks at $25 each than one at $25\,000. And that’s exactly what he did. \nPhoto: Marva Marrow

SUMMARY:Robbie O. Leaver and Jim Coleman This Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:A Musical Performance \nRobbie O. Leaver and Jim Coleman return to Howl! Happening as This Wilderness. Originally performing as Birdthrower\, they played a memorable show alongside Lydia Lunch in conjunction with Voyeur\, Beth B’s exhibition at the gallery. \nFusing darkness and humor\, intimacy and expansion\, disrupted circuitry and the whisper of breath\, the music and personality of This Wilderness is uniquely seductive and disquieting. The raw emotional quality of Leaver’s vocals combined with the ethereal and intense atmosphere of Coleman’s music create a connection with the psyche that is both profound and touching. \nAbout the Performers\nJim Coleman has a deep history in the NYC music scene. He was an integral member of the seminal post-industrial band Cop Shoot Cop. Coleman recorded and performed solo as Phylr and released Trees\, a solo album of electroacoustic ambient music. In July 2017\, he released a techno album\, No More Fear\, as J-CO on Italian house label Defora. He has scored music for independent films and television\, working with directors including Hal Hartley\, Beth B\, Todd Philips\, and Richard Kern. Music collaborations include Lydia Lunch\, J.G. Thirlwell\, and noted Italian composer Teho Teardo. Coleman currently splits his time between This Wilderness and his other band\, The Children\, a collective of musicians centered around a core collaboration with Michael Weiner and Phil Puleo. \nRobert O. Leaver is a musician\, writer\, and performance artist. He is currently recording an album of his solo acoustic project\, Birdthrower\, produced by Grammy-winner Ben Harper. He has also written for television and film\, collaborating with author Sebastian Junger as well as producer/filmmaker Larry Fessenden\, with whom he co-wrote the critically acclaimed film The Last Winter. Leaver has also written for Esquire\, Sports Afield\, Tin House\, and High Times magazines\, among others. Leaver’s performance art piece Crawling Home found him crawling the length of Manhattan on his hands and knees\, wearing his father’s vintage business suit. Another performance piece\, Hole Earth\, involved him digging and occupying holes in various locations around the world while wearing said suit. Leaver writes about his experiences. He grew up down the road from Walden Pond and is a longtime resident of Washington Heights.

SUMMARY:Daniel Wolff Grown-Up Anger
DESCRIPTION:The Connected Mysteries of Bob Dylan\, Woody Guthrie\, and the Calumet Massacre of 1913 \nDiscussion in conjunction with Brett De Palma exhibition \nHe is a deliberately seditious artist who refuses to make his subject and palette soothing and acceptable. Everything about his work is impolitic and eye-catching: an unlikely combination that has a particular frisson to it. Given the bitter tonic of reality we must drink every day; De Palma’s disjunctive miscellany feels right. —John Yau\, “Brett De Palma’s Aesthetic Disobedience”\, from the exhibition catalog \nDrawing parallels to the social criticism in Brett De Palma’s paintings on view at the gallery and to the current political climate\, Grammy-nominated and award-winning author Daniel Wolff will speak on his latest book\, Grown-up Anger: The Connected Mysteries of Bob Dylan\, Woody Guthrie\, and the Calumet Massacre of 1913\, hailed by The New York Times as an “elegantly written and insightful cultural history” and which The Wall Street Journal calls a “gripping account…[that] blasts through layers of American history.” \nThe loss of innocence is one thing. It’s inevitable\, happens to all of us\, may even offer a chance to learn. The slaughter of innocence is something else. It comes forward carrying more than we can count\, crazed with color\, infiltrating the future. —Daniel Wolff\, from his essay in the Brett De Palma exhibition catalog \n

SUMMARY:Bear 54
DESCRIPTION:Closing Concert for Brett De Palma’s Dreaming the Bowery \nTo close out 2017\, Howl Happening is pleased to present a special concert by Bear 54 celebrating Brett De Palma’s passionate painting exhibition and the spirit of the Lower Eastside. This evening is marked by a special camaraderie: Ernie Brooks of Bear 54 and bassist for the Modern Lovers\, is an old friend of De Palma’s having met in late 60’s Boston when the Modern Lovers played for a party he gave in Jamaica Plain. “The biggest loft I’ve ever seen\, the wildest gig we ever did\,” says Brooks. \nSurrounded by De Palma’s paintings\, Bear 54 brings to life the band members’ close collaboration with the late Arthur Russell whose work forms a bond between them and defines a considerable part of the group’s repertoire\, both songs and instrumentals. Russell’s life and music was closely tied to the lower east side. The apartment where he lived on East 12th between 1st and A was always full of musicians and poets. For years when Russell couldn’t afford to pay his electric bill\, he kept the power on by rigging an extension cord that ran down the front of the building and into Allen Ginsberg’s apartment. “The image of that lives for me as a symbol of an era in the East village\, says Brooks\, “and the spirit that Howl! Arts strives to capture and carry forward—a spirit that informs Brett’s painting as it does this band’s roots\,” \nBear 54\nJoyce Bowden: Guitar and Vocals\nErnie Brooks: Bass and Vocals\nBill Ruyle: Hammer Dulcimer and Drums\nLarry Saltzman: Guitar\nPeter Zummo: Trombone and Vocals \nAbout ERNIE BROOKS\nAn original member of Modern Lovers\, he moved to NYC in mid 70’s started long enduring collaborations with Arthur Russell\, Peter Zummo\, Rhys Chatham\, Peter Gordon and others of the downtown music world. He has worked with David Johansen\, Glen Branca\, Elliott Murphy\, Gary Lucas\, Chris Spedding\, Jerry Harrison and many others\, including artist Robert Longo.

SUMMARY:Samoa Candy Coated Evil
DESCRIPTION:An Exhibition Curated by Kembra Pfahler\nOpening Reception: Wednesday\, January 10\, 6–8 PM \nIn a poisoned\, jaded world\, this show is a limitless panacea. Samoa’s vocabulary is so innately understandable by anyone with a heart that still beats. And loved by those of us who understand that art and music and performance can create change\, rather than just swell our pockets or decorate our rooms. It’s art that serves a purpose\, and Samoa’s work does just that—one show at a time.  —Kembra Pfahler \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present Candy Coated Evil\, a solo exhibition by the multifaceted Samoa\, curated by artist and performer Kembra Pfahler. The exhibition encompasses the full range of Samoa’s diverse art forms—an installation recreating his now-legendary Candy Coated Evil store\, which opened in 1996 within East Village landmark The Pink Pony; costumes and props from his performances and music groups; and paintings that capture his deep experience of living in New York City. \nA major element of the artist’s show are live events—performances by Samoa and Kembra Pfahler\, as well as a panel discussion\, and an evening of video and film. (See dates below.) \nBorn in Hiroshima\, Japan\, he formed his first rock band\, Johnny\, while still in high school and curated numerous music events before moving to Tokyo\, where he acted in underground theater and TV dramas. Doing extreme performance in Tokyo in the late 70s\, he invented his name—imagining Samoa as an idyllic paradise where he’d someday live. It was in Japan that he began creating his flamboyant costumes. He won a grand prize in 1978 at a popular disco in Tokyo\, dressed as a large can of roach spray while surrounded by a coterie of friends in cockroach costumes. He moved to New York in 1980. \nIn the Candy Coated Evil exhibition\, Samoa constructs his experiences of coming to the dystopic landscape of the Lower East Side. As Pfahler puts it\, he’s “a heroic artist and immigrant without the word ‘fear’ in his vocabulary.” The complex emotions he expresses about this experience can be seen throughout his work. \nRadical and outrageous\, he has been an active participant in extreme alternative interdisciplinary art culture for decades. He was one of the first performers at the Pyramid Cocktail Lounge—where he learned English by performing with friends Tanya Ransom and Frederic\, and watching early performances by legends like Ethyl Eichelberger and John Sex—a first wave of punk performance heroes that are historicized widely in the art world today. He stood out singing and playing his original music on his signature Gibson guitar at Wigstock in the early 80s; in 1984\, his rock opera\, Under the Bad Star\, premiered at La MaMa. The opera featured his over-the-top sets and costumes; the backing band included members of the alternative post-punk band Jawbreaker. Many of his wildly eccentric costumes and other DIY artifacts from this period will be on display. \nIn 1990—with Pfahler—he founded the legendary theatrical shock rock band The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. Samoa was responsible for writing all the music for the band\, which continues to wreak havoc wherever they perform today. As much a theatrical troupe as a band\, New York’s TVHKB (named in homage to the B-movie scream queen) mixes their punk roots with elements of vaudeville\, psychotronic films\, and futuristic burlesque to arrive at their signature identity. \nIn his paintings\, the subjects he chooses to portray—James Baldwin\, Nina Simone\, First Nation Chief Wolf Robe\, Ken Takakura (a Yakuza movie star)\, and many more—draw attention to racial and social issues in vivid color\, with bold images that capture the hopes\, fears\, wonder\, and pain of his American experience. \nIn curator Pfahler’s words: “The oddness that emerges…his particular type of rage at the injustice that inhabits our world sneaks beautifully into every crevice of his canvases. Not unlike his songwriting and costume making…it’s all Samoa…part prophetic soothsaying and part gilded advertisement for a new world….” \nPERFORMANCES AND LIVE EVENTS\nSaturday\, January 13: Performance by Kembra Pfahler and a performance by Samoa\nSunday\, January 14: Panel discussion\nThursday\, January 18: Video/film screening\nThursday\, February 8: Samoa performance\nSunday\, February 11: Closing night ceremony \nAbout Samoa \nAbout Kembra Pfahler

SUMMARY:Samoa and Kembra Pfahler Living Will
DESCRIPTION:An Evening of Performances\nLiving Will brings Samoa and Kembra together to present their “unbrandable brand of performance”—sharing stories and surprising new identities and characters with memorable gravity—while remaining uniquely and inimitably themselves! Samoa and Kembra first met and performed together in the early 80’s at the Pyramid\, Danceteria\, Limbo\, ABC No Rio\, and other legendary clubs. \nTo celebrate the opening of Samoa’s exhibition Candy Coated Evil\, the artist will present Pornocchio 2017\, an updated version of a piece he performed throughout the 80s and 90s on the club circuit. A strange and disturbing tale of love between Diet Pepsi and a little doll called Linda\, Pornocchio showcases Samoa’s multivalent talents. \nKembra revises Ghost Having a Ghost\, her first performance at ABC No Rio. She will also perform two classic numbers—Bowling Ball Piece and 917-803-7178. The costumes\, music\, and props for these pieces were all created by Samoa and Kembra. \nFor the climax of this epic night\, the two will present Living Will\, a piece that delivers the surprise and shock that Karen Black enthusiasts crave\, with new text by Kembra\, and music and props by Samoa. As the title suggests\, the finale is a moving\, poignant\, and poetic rumination on life and death. Not to be missed! \nYou know when you’re stricken\, you’re stricken quickly\,\nSo we not die like you lived\nRi tu al is tic al leeeeeee\nShrink and freeze my head\nTurn it into a cane\nBurn my body\nScatter the remains\nTake my ashes to Bali\nI can’t afford to go now\nRi tu al is tic ah leeeeee\n—Lyrics from Living Will \n

SUMMARY:Samoa Candy Coated Evil Panel Discussion
DESCRIPTION:With Samoa\, Kembra Pfahler\, Brian Luman\, Spencer Sweeney\, and Militia Vox\n  \nHello everyone\, welcome to Samoa’s first one-person show\, which I helped organize at Howl! Happening. We decided to have a panel discussion during the Candy Coated Evil show where we spoke about Samoa’s work\, but the artist himself wants us to talk about OUR work as an artistic\, activist community. \nPhotographer Brian Luman\, a champion of water preservation\, will be one of the panelists. As he puts it regarding his own state of affairs: “I’m someplace between who I was and what I hope to become. A year ago\, something happened to me on the land of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe. I saw what I could be. I saw what I always imagined we could be together. I saw that Water is the thing that unites us with the land and each other.” Without clean water there is no survival…nowhere for flowers to live. In Samoa’s words\, there would be “no place to abide by and preserve\, to love and have life exist.” \nPainter Spencer Sweeney and singer Militia Vox will also serve as panelists. Two other sorts of activists—although I doubt they’d call themselves that\, please forgive me—but what you both do truly activates people. Let’s give the word “activist” a little modernity for the sake of our visit on the 14th of January. \nMilitia is the 4-octave-range vocalist for an all-female homage band called Judas Priestess. Like athletes\, these girls pump their way through songs like swimmers going fast in ice-cold water—with fierceness and fearlessness—doing something most people would be afraid to do. When I was a kid\, I would sing along to Rob Halford…it’s really hard to sing Judas Priest songs. A classically-trained pianist\, Militia has played with the likes of Cyndi Lauper and Nancy Sinatra. One of my favorite quotes from Militia is “disgrace your stereotypes.” \nSpencer has a history as someone who has\, for decades\, provided spaces for people to activate their right to express themselves. He’s been ahead of the art game as a revered painter with a strong connection to community. To have an actual space to create community\, Spencer created a venue in the early 2000s—Santos Party House. Like they say in Hawaii\, he manifested this place to life\, generating a million fantastic\, memorable nights a chalkboard could never erase. He launched a dance party called 718 Sessions\, featuring old-school DJs from historical clubs like The Paradise Garage and having them interact with younger DJs and musicians. Lately\, Spencer’s focus has been on producing a free\, intergenerational drawing night with live free-jazz musicians from legendary groups such as Sun Ra…coming in to blow the minds of all that stay and draw and share their techniques with one another. I say drawing is a rapidly-growing\, vital form of communication\, important in these years where we are being convinced by the media that all is well if we are indulge in brands forced by greedy capitalists\, intent on contaminating the tears—the Water—falling from our eyes. \nSamoa asked if we could bring Performance Art 101\, the Know Wave radio show I’ve been doing for a couple of years\, to Howl! Happening and feature the panel discussion within the program. He likes the circle we form when we speak to each other in the show. There’s no hierarchy like there would be on a regular talk show. No leaders\, just a group of people sharing their experiences and how they got to do what they do. As a young girl\, I went to an art school called School of Visual Arts…what I wanted to speak about on Performance Art 101 was essentially everything that I didn’t get out of the school. (Brian\, unsurprisingly\, had a similar feeling about going to school to become an artist….) When I was asked in art school to define what I was\, I said “availabist\,” or someone that makes the best use of what is available. \nWhen you are an artist\, you do your work. You work within the scope of sharing production tools and many unwritten codes. I think Brian Luman\, Militia Vox\, and Spencer Sweeney make up for a very astute trio of experience sharing…all with the impetus to do music\, art\, or activism as a way of “cultural preservation\,” like Spencer says. \nAnd so\, these three artists will answer questions from visitors to Howl! Happening on January 14th at 4 p.m.\, for the recording of a Performance Art 101 radio show. Spencer’s going to Glasgow and Beijing for some art shows\, Melish is working on records and touring\, and Brian has been most generous with his time to help “memorganize”—wait\, that’s a computer word accident…thanks Apple…you fucking big brother type of rotten unhatched egg. Brian’s helped me think through and speak about this day…so\, thanks again. \nReminding us to consider our similarities and not our differences\, and also that we can only speak about things we’ve actually experienced\, I express with grace and humility that I will “minulate”—a tinier version of “moderate”—the panel. As I said before\, there’s no moderator\, there are no leaders—we are looking for consensus on decisions which change the way we relate to time. \nBrian\, we are all so excited to hear about your travel experiences; Militia you’ve been so graceful with your willingness to speak with all of us at Howl! And thank you Spencer for coming to Samoa’s panel as well. \nThank you so much\,\nKembra Pfahler TVHKB\nand SAMOA

SUMMARY:Samoa and Kembra Pfahler Video and Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:Samoa and curator Kembra Pfahler host an evening of films in conjunction with Candy Coated Evil\, including Samoa’s shorts My Way to Hell and Until the Day I Die\, as well as performance videos from the 80s and music videos by their band The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. \nMy Way to Hell is the story of a character named Karen\, who is obsessed with fame and tries to lead her band into stardom—but the band members have no intention to follow her wishes. Brokenhearted\, she goes into a dark depression. The film features trans star Jack Curious\, Samoa\, Kari Krome\, Walter Cassidy III\, Amanda Pollock\, Dick Manitoba\, and Kembra. \nUntil the Day I Die is the story of a female Jesus rising against an evil dot com CEO\, who wants to control the world by forcing commercial power upon civilians while the corporate media and puppet politicians are blindfolding the public. Jesus fights back with special powers\, recruiting people for massive anti-corporate demonstrations. The battle beings…but is there any hope for saving humanity? The film stars Leslie Matuko Molson\, Jim Graham\, and Dave Buchwald. \nThe music video program features “Mr. Corporation” by The Lonely Samoans. Samoa describes this number as “the hit country song” from the band’s first album Here Come the Lonely Samoans\, which addresses the hypocritical existence of young professionals in a corporate world. \nThe evening will also include a screening of music videos by The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black\, including the rare “Chopsley Rabid Bikini Model”\, a video clip filmed in the late 90s when the band toured with The Cramps and Alice Cooper and opened a stadium show in Las Vegas. When Academy Award-nominated director Simeon Soffer caught wind of the buzz\, he offered to meet the band in Vegas to make a video. \nFor the filming\, Simeon rented a $25-an-hour helicopter: Kembra and Samoa got dressed up and held on to dear life\, flying around filming the other band members. The video is high-caliber Karen Black—strange couture classic rock\, with Samoa donning his Candy Coated Evil designs. An alternate version of the video\, made for MTV Europe\, will also be shown. This iteration features a handcrafted set by Ned Ambler\, and Samoa in more amazing Candy Coated Evil outfits\, playing a futuristic robot-musician who plugs electric guitar chords into his own flesh while Kembra freestyles directional\, non-melodic vocals. \n“Mr. Twilight”\, TVHOKB’s first video\, will also be projected. Directed by the legendary Steve Daughton\, the clip employs his self-taught color modification techniques\, which later on became a paradigm in low-tech video making. Michael Wilson\, the “Tattoo Man”\, appears in the video alongside Kembra and Samoa. Wilson was a part of The Voluptuous Horror throughout the 90s\, and has since passed on due to complications with diabetes. \nPhoto credit: Michael Levine
