SUMMARY:The Full Moon Show with John Pizza: Infested
DESCRIPTION:12:00 AM–11:59 PM \nWatch on www.howlarts.org \nWe’re coming out of our tunnels\, up from the underground\, out of the darkness into the summertime light\, and now…it’s time to socialize. Like the wings and legs of bugs\, I feel wiggly and restless. \nYou’re asking me to party with others. My exoskeleton crawls\, and I’m restlessly shifting from foot to foot but always with a smile across my mandibles. —John Pizza \nJoin John Pizza for Infested\, a little post-quarantine poem about self-courage and the insects inside our guts that wiggle in protest. \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer. He uses trash and thrift-store detritus scrounged in his Brooklyn neighborhood to tell stories and make his shows. He loves the macabre and the mushy sweet. His sculptures are performative\, and his performances involve sculptures—an object theatre of weird surprises.  \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \n“Performance is anything done with purpose and style.” —Tom Murrin \nHowl! Happening is home to the archive of Tom Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic and the Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon—without fail\, paid booking or not\, in all seasons and whatever the weather—he performed his Luna Macaroona Full Moon Show. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as 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. When he didn’t have a club date\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic.

SUMMARY:The Full Moon Show with John Pizza: Jangles
DESCRIPTION:Watch on Howlarts.org \nThe moon is wide open and magnetic. My bones are made of metal but my body ain’t open. Still there is a strong draw. \nI rise to the moon like a jangly skeleton. Stiff from alternating bouts of shoveling dirt and Hulu binges. I’m called to dance and since I don’t want to be weighed down I’m reticent to eat too much. So it’s BBQ chips for dinner again… \n…. and at least I can dance briefly with the moon. —John Pizza \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer.

SUMMARY:Scooter LaForge: The Roaring 20s
DESCRIPTION:SPRING/BREAK Art Show 2021\nScooter LaForge: The Roaring 20s\nBooth # 1005 \nClick Here For Tickets\n625 Madison Avenue\nNew York\, NY 10022 \nHowl! Arts is pleased to present Scooter LaForge: The Roaring 20s at this year’s SPRING/BREAK curated by Jane Friedman and Carlo McCormick. LaForge explores the traditions and excesses of past decades in his mad\, colorful\, and comedic paintings influenced by popular culture and informed by razor-sharp contemporary commentary. \nFor the 2021 iteration of the fair\, LaForge presents a selection of large-scale paintings that hold a mirror to the liminal times we live in. Our environment\, permeated by a fear of death and the promise of relief from an invisible threat\, is rife with the by-products from this anxious state. The 1920s parallel 2020 in paintings that treat subjects as varied as vaccines and pandemics to the rise of organized crime and the debauched forgetfulness of “partying” contrasted by the search for what is real for each of us in these topsy turvy times. \nIn this series\, a time-space continuum sandwiches the spirit of a “new Roaring 20s” through imagery that uses the Brothers Grimm’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. The dwarves represent the moods of humanity\, while they indulge in the revelry of sex—“as above\, so below.” Memento mori\, like a “death is certain” banner\, envelop the dwarves\, who drink and smoke in a spirit of celebration and escape. Linking two pandemics—AIDS and COVID—the dwarves face the brunt of gay jokes as in the early days of the AIDS contagion: “What does gay stand for? Got AIDS yet?” An irreverent\, punk spirit infuses the images\, evoking the atmosphere of the present-day East Village: smoking\, drinking\, a blur of fast-moving crowds. \nOne of the works portrays insensibly ascribed names of pandemics: Spanish Flu\, China Virus\, Indian Delta Variant—interspersed with phrases like “God Hates Fags.” In the midst of blame and tension\, marginalized groups create safe spaces—like the drag balls in Hamilton Lodge in Harlem in the 1920s\, the euphoric jazz age—all part of the rise of art and expression after a pandemic. \nThe composition of the paintings references modern and old masters. There is a sense of multidimensionality—the collapsing of space and time—in these works. The truth is elusive\, but a sense of beauty prevails. Darkness and light coexist…like in our present times. \nScooter LaForge has delivered three years of exhibitions for Spring/Break including:\n• 2017: Fame is a Disease: newly commissioned work by LaForge that riffed on the themes and message of the late Vega’s painting series\,\n• 2018: Mt. Vesuvius Fire Sale highlighting amphora and paintings that might have been found at Pompeii and Herculaneum.\n• 2019: Please Don’t Feed the Animals featuring an immersive beastly banquet reminiscent of Judy Chicago’s The Dinner party\, that confronts the link between the global climate crisis and humanity’s hunger for and treatment of animals. \nAbout Scooter LaForge

SUMMARY:James Rubio: Holograms and Hallucinations
DESCRIPTION:SPRING/BREAK Art Show 2021\nJames Rubio Holograms and Hallucinations\nBooth #1004 \nClick Here For Tickets\n625 Madison Avenue\nNew York\, NY 10022 \nFor SPRING/BREAK 2021\, Howl! Arts is pleased to present James Rubio’s Holograms and Hallucinations\, an immersive installation that envelops the viewer. Rubio’s show is curated by Howl Executive Director Jane Friedman and critic and cultural commentator\, Carlo McCormick.  \nIncluded are Rubio’s large-scale Prayer Paintings on mirrored surfaces that recall the stained glass of the great Gothic cathedrals. Like these cathedrals\, that manipulate light and color to dazzle worshippers\, Rubio’s intent is to transfix and transport the viewer to an altered space. The Prayer Paintings comment on the self-centered nature of prayer\, pointing out the triviality of appealing to a higher power with prayers for our own success and personal gain. Yet it is an act of heresy to call into question the very nature and intent of prayer. But Rubio’s works do exactly that\, revealing and questioning the inconsequentiality of our most fervent prayers. \nThe Infinite depth of these paintings is hypnotic\, as they shape-shift before your eyes\, and the over-the-top installation creates spaces that are both real and surreal\, warping and re-shaping reality as the viewer looks deeper. \nJames Rubio is an East Village artist whose work has appeared in shows\, festivals\, and fairs across six countries. Rubio studied photography at The School of The Art Institute of Chicago but fell in love with painting and street art later in New York City. In 2006\, Rubio joined the Antagonist Art Movement and began regularly exhibiting paintings at Niagara Bar. He has been invited to create and exhibit his large paintings in Mexico City and Chihuahua (Mexico)\, Ecuador\, Berlin (Germany)\, Lisbon (Portugal)\, Tehran (Iran)\, and New York City\, and was a popular Mana Urban Artist for a number of years.

SUMMARY:Icons\, Iconoclasts\, and Outsiders
DESCRIPTION:September 19\, 2021 – March 6\, 2022\nInaugural Exhibition at Howl! Arts/Howl! Archive (HA/HA)\nGrand Opening: Sunday\, September 19 / 11 AM–6 PM \nHowl Arts is pleased to announce the inaugural exhibition at its new space\, Howl! Arts/Howl! Archive (HA/HA). Icons\, Iconoclasts\, and Outsiders presents works by artists\, writers\, musicians\, scenesters\, performers\, icons\, iconoclasts\, outsiders and other creators from the 1960s to the present whose life and work energized the underground and are now entering mainstream cultural discourse. HA/HA is located at 250 Bowery\, just down the block from Howl! Happening. The exhibition continues through December 23\, 2021 and is co-curated by Howl executive director Jane Friedman with Sean Mellyn and Maynard Monrow. \nIcons\, Iconoclasts\, and Outsiders unveils previously undocumented aspects of downtown life and culture—the atmosphere of a wildly diverse neighborhood that has influenced successive generations. A refined collection of works of art\, cultural history\, and ephemera\, the exhibition presents the early Ramones banner Gabba Gabba Hey (1977) and the paintings by artist and founding spirit of the gallery Arturo Vega; Candy Darling’s the worst years of my life: a five year diary\, from the collection of her longtime friend Jeremiah Newton; David Wojnarowicz’s Saint Sebastian (1981)\, a portrait of Brian Butterick from his personal collection; costumes\, props\, and videos from The Alien Comic Tom Murrin’s archive; an exquisite photographic portrait by George Dureau and explosive paintings by Richard Hambleton from the Arturo Vega estate; a signature portrait by Helen Oliver Adelson; graphite portraits by John Kelly of gifted individuals who were part of his life and creative circles; cultural chronicler and photographer Marcia Resnick’s color portrait of William Burroughs (1980); and Scooter LaForge paintings that explore contemporary social issues through humor\, lavish decoration\, and exaggerated cartoon-like figures. \nAlso from the collection are works of art and archival materials from the 60s to the present including Philly Abe; Richard Bernstein; Don Herron; Mark Morrisroe; Dustin Pittman; Jamie Reid; Walter Stedding; Patti Smith; Tabboo!; Gail Thacker; Toyo Tsuchiya; Guy Woodard; as well as Mudd Club doorman extraordinaire Richard Boch’s personal papers; and materials from the estate of Clark Render\, known for his collaboration with David Ilku in The Dueling Bankheads. \nIn the new screening room\, Howl draws from its video archive of work by Merrill Aldighieri as the first VJ and early documentarian of the legendary 80s nightclub Hurrah; the archives of Efrom Allen\, host of the early public-access television show Underground TV\, featuring a range of unconventional guests including Sid Vicious\, the Ramones\, Marilyn Chambers\, Blondie\, Steve Allen\, Buddy Rich\, Stiv Bators\, Brooke Shields\, and William Shatner; and selections from the vaults of Howl TV including live performances\, readings\, panel discussions\, and happenings with artists\, writers\, musicians\, and thought-leaders who have enlivened the gallery since its inception in 2015. \nHowl’s Permanent Collection comprises over 3\,000 objects\, including art\, rare digital and analog media\, performance-art ephemera\, and personal archives from the 1960s onward. The Collection documents the origins and growth of local cultural and social movements that have had far-reaching impact—offering a myriad of opportunities for new interpretations of the punk\, new-wave\, and no-wave movements; performance art; drag; street art; public-access television; nightlife; LGBTQ activism; the AIDS epidemic; and urban gentrification. \nImage: Richard Hambleton\, Untitled (Leaping Shadowman)\, ca 2000 \nVisitation Guidelines

SUMMARY:The Full Moon Show With John Pizza: How to Make a Stage
DESCRIPTION:Visit Howlarts.org on Monday\, September 20\, 2021 from 12 AM to 11:59 PM to watch the Full Moon Show! \nIt’s a production – but it’s no stage. \nIt’s a showing – but there ain’t no performer. \nIt’s opening night – but there’s no damn audience. \nHow do you exhibit yourself?  ‘Cause I wanna take notes. Lemme know….. \nJoin John Pizza for How to Make a Stage\, a YouTube-style vignette on building a D.I.Y. theater anywhere\, anyhow\, or not at all. \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer. He uses trash and thrift-store detritus scrounged in his Brooklyn neighborhood to tell stories and make his shows. He loves the macabre and the mushy sweet. His sculptures are performative\, and his performances involve sculptures—an object theatre of weird surprises.  \n\nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \n Performance is anything done with purpose and style. —Tom Murrin \nHowl! Happening is home to the archive of Tom Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic and the Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon—without fail\, paid booking or not\, in all seasons and whatever the weather—he performed his Luna Macaroona Full Moon Show. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as 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. When he didn’t have a club date\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic.

SUMMARY:Amon Focus: Visual Voices
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Thursday\, September 23 | 6 – 8 PM \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present Visual Voices\, a special exhibition of photographs and interactive immersion in “the New York experience” by Amon Focus. \nNew York is a cacophonous mix of voices—from wisecracks and witticisms to activism and social commentary—and everything in between. Amon Focus captures these visual voices and has created a photographic archive spanning more than a decade\, aptly named New York Said. Visual Voices is a three-part multimedia experience for attendees to engage with the visual voices of New York City and celebrate the resilience of our communities as we approach a new state of “normal.” \nThe exhibition is an installation of 50 photographs and a series of collages created from the New York Said archive. Also on view is Unwarranted Advice\, a series of 10 large-format photographs based on overheard statements and the unsolicited guidance Amon has received while trekking the city. \nEach print shares the voice of the city and invites the viewer to contemplate our commonalities as a community of New Yorkers. Amon photographically captures the said\, but often unseen\, visual communications of those who have made the city their journal. \nThe second component of the show includes a “Meet the Artist ” experience\, where Amon will engage gallery-goers and the public in impromptu conversations about their New York experience. Fashioned as an interactive game he calls “Riff”\, these short conversations will be recorded and shared on a later airing of a New York Said podcast episode. \nAttendees will be invited to share their voices by adding to the New York Said Visual Voices Wall installed during the exhibit. \n\nAbout Amon Focus\nAmon Focus is the founder and creative force behind New York Said\, a multidisciplinary project with a mission to document and preserve the “writing on the wall” hidden in plain sight throughout the five boroughs. \nFor more than 10 years\, Amon has photographed over 2\,500 statements written on every surface imaginable in his ongoing photo series New York Said. \nIn addition to this photo series\, Amon hosts the New York Said podcast. The podcast has recorded over 200 long-form conversations with native and notable New Yorkers. \nAmon’s photography and film projects have been featured in multiple venues throughout New York City. Project highlights include an archival screening of his film Arturo Vega\, The Last Interview at Howl! Happening; shooting for New York Fashion Week; and the New York Said fifth-anniversary photography exhibit. \nAmon is also a consultant for destination-marketing organizations throughout the country and has worked as creative producer and camera operator on hundreds of tourism-related productions. \nAmon Focus is one of 500 New York City-based artists to receive a grant through the City Artist Corps Grants program\, presented by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA)\, with support from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) as well as Queens Theatre. \nAmon will also be curating Howl’s signature month-long residency\, the &Friends series\, every Tuesday night in November on Howl TV. \nVisitation Guidelines \n

SUMMARY:HERO IN ART - The Vanished Traces of Richard Hambleton
DESCRIPTION:Istvan Kantor\nBook launch / Talk / Performance  \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present an evening celebrating Istvan Kantor aka Monty Cantsin and the publication of Hero in Art—The Vanished Traces of Richard Hambleton. The creator of unforgettable street art masterworks including Image Mass Murder\, I Only Have Eyes for You\, and Shadowman\, Richard Hambleton is remembered as a visionary underground artist\, a daring pioneer of urban interventionist art\, and a heroic idol of graffiti artists. Hero in Art is co-published by Howl! Arts and Autonomedia. Books will be available for purchase at the event. \nIstvan Kantor\, performance artist and author of Hero in Art\, will introduce the book and talk about his friendship and collaborations with Richard Hambleton. Kantor/Cantsin’s talk will especially focus on Hambleton’s lesser-known early art activities\, his contribution to mail-art\, and his participation in Neoist events.  \nRichard Hambleton by Curt Hoppe\nThe two artists met through mail-art in the late 70s while they lived in Canada\, Richard in Vancouver\, and Monty in Montreal. They were very active in their local art communities and besides doing mail-art\, they also experimented in the fields of performance art. While Richard Hambleton invaded North America’s largest cities with his graffiti-based street art actions\, Kantor spread the words of Neoism through spilling his blood at apartment festivals. Being mail-art friends\, Kantor participated in Richard’s first large-scale multi-city performance Image Mass Murder\, which also involved the International Mail-Art Network. It was around that time that they established a closer friendship. They started their creative adventures in New York around the same time in 1979/1980. In the spring of 1982\, while Hambleton was beginning his shadow figure project\, Cantsin was organizing a Neoist Apartment Festival in the Lower East Side\, in which Richard also took part. \nThroughout the years Kantor/Cantsin tried to interview Richard Hambleton\, but Richard always postponed\, and it never happened. However\, in Kantor’s book these unsuccessful attempts are the main thread of events. For the book\, Kantor also interviewed many other artists from among Richard’s circle of friends as well as the allies and critics who were part of Richard’s troublesome and enigmatic life. Some of them will be present at the event to participate in Kantor’s talk. \nAbout Istvan Kantor \nAbout Richard Hambleton

SUMMARY:Rhythm and Paranoia: The Best of Bush Tetras
DESCRIPTION:Launch Party \nAt Tier 3\, Pep Lounge\, the Mudd Club\, Hurrah—wherever—they would hit such a slathery sonic groove with noise-death beauty that I knew this was the greatest rock-and-roll group in the universe.\n—Thurston Moore\, Sonic Youth \nHowl Arts\, in cooperation with Wharf Cat Records\, has the rare pleasure of presenting a launch party for a seminal band whose legacy and influential music we at Howl! have long listened to and admired. For many of us\, “Too Many Creeps” was our anthem. \nAs Marc Masters says in his introduction: “Flashes of light rarely burn for long. Bush Tetras exploded into New York in 1979 and flamed out just a few years later. Yet somehow this lightning-quick band have risen from their own ashes again and again for four decades. The spark that ignited Bush Tetras tapped into a deep grid of power\, fueled by guitarist Pat Place\, singer Cynthia Sley\, and drummer Dee Pop.” \n“We have an unbelievable chemistry between us that is seemingly endless\,” Sley says. \nThat chemistry is palpable on Rhythm and Paranoia: The Best of Bush Tetras\, a collection that spans many eras and sounds\, from the band’s earliest recordings to their current\, vital-as-ever incarnation. At each turn\, Place\, Sley\, and Pop share the wheel\, collectively driving their unique\, influential\, and body-shaking meld of rock\, punk\, funk\, reggae\, and more. \nThe booklet accompanying this 2-disc set says it all—with testimonials to their lasting influence from fellow musicians and creators like Nona Hendryx (Labelle)\, Ann Magnuson (Bongwater)\, Topper Headon (The Clash)\, Hugo Burnham (Gang of Four)\, Victoria Ruiz (Downtown Boys)\, Katie Alice Greer (Priests)\, and Austin Brown (Parquet Courts). \nRenowned at the dawn of the eighties for pairing the disjoined guitar skronk of the inaccessible No Wave scene with irrepressible\, funk-infused rhythms\, the Bush Tetras were remarkably influential without ever really receiving their due. —The New Yorker

SUMMARY:Mike DeCapite’s Jacket Weather
DESCRIPTION:Publication Party and Reading \nJacket Weather is a tender love story that blossoms like a rose in the concrete of a city always on the verge. DeCapite’s effortless prose stirs echoes of certain New York School poets\, of ‘cold rosy dawn\,’ night streets illuminated by great bars and the music streaming out of them—the endless possibilities of a place where\, despite persistent evidence to the contrary\, ‘love is the heart of everything’. —Max Blagg\, author of Slow Dazzle and Loud Money\n \nHowl! Arts is pleased to present an afternoon with friend and colleague\, writer Mike DeCapite\, in honor of his highly praised first novel\, Jacket Weather published by Soft Skull Press. \nNick Hornby meets Patti Smith\, Mean Streets meets A Visit From the Goon Squad in this quintessential New York City story about two people who knew each other in the downtown music scene in the 1980s\, meet again in the present day\, and fall in love. \nMike knew June in New York’s downtown music scene in the eighties. Back then\, he thought she was “the living night—all the glamour and potential of a New York night when you’re 25.” Now he’s twice divorced and happy to be alone—so happy he’s writing a book about it. Then he meets June again. “And here she was with a raincoat over the back of the chair talking about getting a divorce and saying she’s done with relationships. Her ice-calm eyes are the same\, the same her glory of curls.” \nJacket Weather is about awakening to love—dizzying\, all-consuming\, worldview-shaking love—when it’s least expected. It’s also about remaining alert to today’s pleasures—exploring the city\, observing the seasons\, listening to the guys at the gym—while time is slipping away. Told in fragments of narrative\, reveries\, recipes\, bits of conversation and snatches of weather\, the book collapses a decade in Mike and June’s life and shifts a reader to a glowing nostalgia for the present. \nPoetic and compulsively readable\, Jacket Weather invents a new genre—call it lyrical realism. Mike DeCapite casts a cool but affectionate eye on New York in the 2010s\, as it lives on despite having become a replica of itself. Like Virginie Despentes’s Vernon Subutex\, Jacket Weather traces the lives of those who’ve stayed on after the party. It’s a love story improbably set at the beginning of late middle age\, and it’s also a story of cities\, survival\, adaptation\, desire\, and a celebration of the small pleasures we invent and discover to offset unavoidable loss. —Chris Kraus\, author of After Kathy Acker and Summer of Hate \nUnder the banner of Sparkle Street Books\, Mike DeCapite has published the novel Through the Windshield\, the chapbook Creamsicle Blue\, and the short-prose collection Radiant Fog. Cuz Editions published his story Sitting Pretty\, later anthologized in The Italian American Reader. DeCapite grew up in Cleveland\, lived in London and San Francisco\, and has spent most of his creative life in New York City\, where he now resides. \nJacket Weather is a beautiful\, evocative account of a late-in-life love sprung into being in early twenty-first-century Manhattan\, characters tossed forth from the aftermath of the punk rock seventies. Protagonist Mike spins cryptic\, poetic observations of his daily life\, strikes random and true chords\, pen as Telecaster. His plaintive adoration of June\, the love of his life\, is painted with enduring mystery and great respect. —Lee Ranaldo\, Sonic Youth\, author of Road Movies and JNRLS80s \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Andrew Castrucci: 36 Years at Bullet Space
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: October 23\, 6 — 9 PM \nAndrew Castrucci is an artist who has contended with this magical\, mysterious and often menacing space called Manhattan for over four decades… Castrucci is a portrait painter of the city we all love\, who captures its primal essence not as a matter of realistic representation\, but as a psychological study of the great ambivalence at the heart of this experience of living here. —Carlo McCormick \nHowl! Happening is pleased to announce an exhibition that pays tribute to Bullet Space and Andrew Castrucci—framed around the artist’s 36-year tenure leading the unique community space\, and two mammoth artists’ books he produced with a myriad of collaborators: Your House is Mine (1988–1992) and Fracktured Lives (2010–2020). Threaded throughout are other artifacts including his paintings on steel as well as silk screens from the two books; newspapers; and ephemera produced between 1985 to the present. The exhibition is curated by Carlo McCormick and Alexandra Rojas and will be accompanied by a catalog with essays by McCormick and Tom McGlynn. \n \n“When painting on scraps of metal\, Castrucci evokes a temporal uncertainty that debilitates the monumentality at hand\,” says McCormick. “It is heavy metal played with the volume off\, hardcore slowed down to a waltz.” \nOn view will be the full range of Castrucci’s work—his signature paintings on metal\, like the rude algae of time; paintings that channel his lifelong love for fishing; and other works that emphasize art-making beyond decoration. Rooted in community\, the show also presents Castrucci’s collaborations with John Fekner—including the large stenciled works We the People and NY is OK—and pieces created with NOC 167\, Tracy 168\, Nadia Coen\, Lee Quiñones\, Alexandra Rojas\, and Renzo Castrucci. “Art sometimes becomes a necessity\,” says Castrucci\, “and art as life is a necessary form of resistance.”   \nYour House is Mine by Castrucci and Nadia Coen is an oversized artists’ book with 33 signed silk-screen prints. A collection of images and texts defining and expressing the broad and essential issue of housing on the Lower East Side\, the work as a whole creates a statement about the force of “art as a means of resistance.” The book is critical of the status quo. Provoking or inciting the public\, it offers objective statements or alternative solutions to authoritative city planning. \nAn amazing array of groundbreaking artists worked with Castrucci to make silk screens for the book\, including David Wojnarowicz\, Martin Wong\, Lady Pink\, and Lee Quiñones. From each silk screen\, 150 prints were made to be wheat-pasted on city walls\, and 150 were printed on 50-pound Mohawk vellum for Your House is Mine\, which was designed by Castrucci\, his brother Paul\, and Coen. The book also presents contributions from figures like Miguel Algarín\, Chris Burden\, Martha Cooper\, Daze\, John Farris\, Allen Ginsberg\, David Hammons\, Hettie Jones\, Cookie Mueller\, Public Enemy\, Adam Purple\, Bimbo Rivas\, and Andrés Serrano.  \nFracktured Lives is a massive 25-pound book\, bound in sheet metal\, which comprehensively takes on the subject of fracking. The project was created to protest and ultimately ban this polluting practice that forcibly extracts natural gas.  \nThe book features 50 screen-prints by a diverse and intergenerational selection of artists—a veritable exhibition in codex form. Produced between 2010–2020\, 177 artists\, writers\, and “fracktivists” contributed\, notably including Joseph Beuys\, Andrew Castrucci\, Sue Coe\, John Fekner\, Yoko Ono\, Alexandra Rojas\, David Sandlin\, and Walter Sipser. \nDeploying a range of aesthetics between high and lowbrow art forms\, the posters and the ideas behind them were collectively brainstormed and came to fruition at the School of Visual Arts in New York City\, where Castrucci and his students started the Dirty Graphics collective.  \n\nAbout Bullet Space \nLocated at East Third Street in Loisaida\, Bullet Space is an act of resistance\, a community-access center for images\, words\, and sounds of the neighborhood. Founded in the winter of 1985\, it was part of the squatter movement and reconstructed with or without the formal sanction of the city—invisible officialdom. The ground floor of the building is open—like a bulletin. “Bullet” first originated from the name-brand of heroin sold on the block—which was known as the “bullet block”—encompassing the accepted American ethic of violence. “Bullet Americana” is art form as weaponry. \nAbout Andrew Castrucci  \nAndrew Castrucci was born in 1961 and raised in the proximity of West Hoboken and Cliffside Park\, spanning New Jersey’s industrial expanses of the lower Hudson River.  \nFrom 1984–86\, he ran the A&P Gallery with his brother Paul. In 1986\, Castrucci co-founded Bullet Space\, an urban artist collaborative. Creating a print shop there\, he was instrumental in producing over 10\,000 silk screen posters by a wide range of artists\, writers\, and thinkers. Castrucci curates shows and publishes artist’s books\, most recently the Bulletin newspaper edition #10\, and Shoot the Pump\, co-curated with Lee Quiñones and Alexandra Rojas. \nCastrucci co-published the Your House is Mine 1988–92 book and poster project\, which has been hailed as one of the most important artist’s book editions of the 20th century by Marvin Taylor\, head of the Fales Library collection of New York University. He also published Fracktured Lives\, a 10-year project dealing with hydro fracking in upstate New York and its global impact. \nFor 20 years (1986–2006)\, he ran artist workshops through Healing Arts Initiative (HAI) at Wards Island\, the Fort Washington Men’s Shelter\, a Rockland County juvenile detention center\, and a correctional facility in the Bronx where he discovered the now well-known artist Melvin Way. \nCastrucci has been working on a film\, The River Speaks: Urban Angling in the East River\, where life becomes art. His other films include Struck by the Hand (2000)\, The Resistance of Memory (2005)\, America Berserk (2008)\, and Ninety Degrees North (2018). \nIn 1997\, in collaboration with his students at the School of Visual Arts Printshop\, he started the collective Dirty Graphics\, which continues to this day\, having printed thousands of silk screen posters. \nCastrucci’s work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, Whitney Museum\, and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; State Museum of Berlin; Stedelijk Museum in the Netherlands; and the Library of Congress Rare Books and Special Collections Division in Washington\, D.C.; among others.

SUMMARY:Littérature: Readings by Mike DeCapite\, Luc Sante\, and Adele Bertei
DESCRIPTION:Howl Arts is pleased to present an afternoon of interlocking and deeply personal readings that pay homage to people\, places\, and times that remain touchstones of genius and inspiration. All three authors transmit the experience and feelings of “being there now” with rare urgency and intimacy. Memoir\, autobiography\, and novel\, Bertei\, Sante\, and DeCapite tell stories of becoming\, creating\, and loving—bolstered by the wisdom of lived experience. Howl! Happening\, 6 East First Street\, New York.  \n \nAdele Bertei  \nPeter and the Wolves  \nIn her vibrant and brave memoir\, Bertei recounts her friendship and musical collaboration with Peter Laughner (Pere Ubu)\, Cleveland’s answer to all things underground and punk in the 1970s. The pair’s musical collaborative work appears in the Peter Laughner 5-LP box set (also out now on Smog Veil Records). For the Los Angeles Review of Books\, music journalist and cultural critic Greil Marcus posits\, “For the first time Bertei felt unformed\, innocent\, clear-seeing\, and unjudged: as if she had a life to make.”  \nAppearing tonight with Bertei\, author and friend Luc Sante says\, “Peter Laughner was a secret inventor of punk rock\, a dazzling songwriter and guitarist who should by all rights have become a star. But he died suddenly\, in the crucial year 1977\, and instead became a ghost\, haunting the corridors of rock and roll. Adele Bertei’s tender evocation restores him to flickering life\, and her account of the complex education he gave her is inspiring and sobering at once.” \nThurston Moore and Byron Coley of Bull Tongue describe the book in visceral terms\, calling it “…a long gestating\, touching and tear-swallowing memoir of [Bertei’s] time as Peter’s roommate\, speed-snorting buddy and young kid dyke discovering EVERYTHING…” \n \nLuc Sante  \nMaybe the People Would Be the Times  \nA tour-de-force essay collection of fifty-one brief essays written over nearly three decades…capturing scenes and sentiments from 1970s and 1980s New York City: record shops\, concerts\, subway snoozes\, dance clubs\, block parties\, tabloids\, most-wanted lists\, drug trips\, underground economies\, drink tickets\, apartment dramas\, visual cultures\, unsent letters…Sante meditates on what it’s been like to see and feel the world change—to come of age through music\, photography\, literature\, and film\, and to be growing older and wiser still. —Jonathan Leal\, The Rumpus \nIn his second collection (after Kill All Your Darlings: Pieces 1990–2005)\, Luc Sante pays homage to Patti Smith\, Rene Ricard\, and Georges Simenon; traces the history of tabloids; surveys the landscape that gave birth to the Beastie Boys; explores the back alleys of vernacular photography; and sounds a threnody for the forgotten dead of New York City. \nThe glue holding the collection together is autobiography. Every item carries deep personal significance\, and most of the essays are rooted in lived experience\, in particular Sante’s youth on the Lower East Side of New York in the fertile 1970s and 1980s. He traces his deep engagement with music\, his experience of the city\, his progression as an artist and observer\, and his love life and ambitions. Maybe the People Would Be the Times is organized as a series of sequences in which one piece leads into the next. Memoir flows into essay\, fiction into critical writing\, humor into poetry—the pieces answering and echoing one another\, examining subjects from multiple vantages. The collection shows Sante at his most lyrical\, impassioned\, and imaginative\, a writer for whom every assignment brings the challenge of inventing a new form. The book has been nominated for the 2021 PEN/Diamonstein-Spielvogel Award for the Art of the Essay.  \nLuc Sante’s most recent collection is Maybe the People Would Be the Times. His other books include Low Life\, The Factory of Facts\, Kill All Your Darlings\, and The Other Paris. He has lectured on four continents and contributed to many publications\, from ephemeral zines to ornamental coffee-table anvils. (@luxante on Instagram) \n \nMike DeCapite  \nJacket Weather  \nJacket Weather is a tender love story that blossoms like a rose in the concrete of a city always on the verge. DeCapite’s effortless prose stirs echoes of certain New York School poets\, of ‘cold rosy dawn\,’ night streets illuminated by great bars and the music streaming out of them—the endless possibilities of a place where\, despite persistent evidence to the contrary\, ‘love is the heart of everything.’ —Max Blagg\, author of Slow Dazzle and Loud Money\n \nDeCapite reads from his highly praised first novel\, Jacket Weather\, published by Soft Skull Press. \nNick Hornby meets Patti Smith\, Mean Streets meets A Visit from the Goon Squad in this quintessential New York City story about two people who knew each other in the downtown music scene in the 1980s\, meet again in the present day\, and fall in love. \nJacket Weather is about awakening to love—dizzying\, all-consuming\, worldview-shaking love—when it’s least expected. It’s also about remaining alert to today’s pleasures—exploring the city\, observing the seasons\, listening to the guys at the gym—while time is slipping away. Told in fragments of narrative\, reveries\, recipes\, bits of conversation\, and snatches of weather\, the book collapses a decade in Mike and June’s life and shifts the reader to a glowing nostalgia for the present. \nPoetic and compulsively readable\, Jacket Weather invents a new genre—call it lyrical realism. Mike DeCapite casts a cool but affectionate eye on New York in the 2010s\, as it lives on despite having become a replica of itself. Like Virginie Despentes’s Vernon Subutex\, Jacket Weather traces the lives of those who’ve stayed on after the party. It’s a love story improbably set at the beginning of late middle age\, and it’s also a story of cities\, survival\, adaptation\, desire\, and a celebration of the small pleasures we invent and discover to offset unavoidable loss.  \n—Chris Kraus\, author of After Kathy Acker and Summer of Hate

SUMMARY:Readings from Fracktured Lives and Your House is Mine
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening is pleased to present an evening of readings and performances in conjunction with the exhibition Andrew Castrucci: 36 Years at Bullet Space. A diverse group of creative personalities will draw from two of Castrucci’s artist books\, Your House is Mine and Fracktured Lives. Participating artists include Lee Quiñones\, Pito Concepción\, Carl Watson\, Carla Cubit\, Richard Dye\, Katharine Dawson\, Michael Carter\, Frank Morales\, Cheryl Pyle\, Rachelle Garniez\, Sarah Ferguson\, John Fekner with Free Humanity\, Nadia Coen\, and Andrew Castrucci.  \nYour House is Mine\, edited by Castrucci and Nadia Coen\, is an oversized artist book with 33 signed silk-screen prints. A collection of images and texts defining and expressing the broad and essential issue of housing on the Lower East Side\, the work as a whole creates a statement about the force of “art as a means of resistance.” The book is critical of the status quo. Provoking or inciting the public\, it offers objective statements or alternative solutions to authoritative city planning. \nAn amazing array of groundbreaking artists worked with Castrucci to make silk screens for the book\, including David Wojnarowicz\, Martin Wong\, Lady Pink\, and Lee Quiñones. From each silk screen\, 150 prints were made to be wheat-pasted on city walls\, and 150 were printed on 50-pound Mohawk vellum for Your House is Mine\, which was designed by Castrucci\, his brother Paul\, and Coen. The book also presents contributions from figures like Miguel Algarín\, Chris Burden\, Martha Cooper\, Daze\, John Farris\, Allen Ginsberg\, David Hammons\, Hettie Jones\, Cookie Mueller\, Public Enemy\, Adam Purple\, Bimbo Rivas\, and Andrés Serrano.  \nFracktured Lives is a massive 25-pound book\, bound in sheet metal\, which comprehensively takes on the subject of fracking. The project was created to protest and ultimately ban this polluting practice that forcibly extracts natural gas.  \nThe book features 50 screen prints by a diverse and intergenerational selection of artists—a veritable exhibition in codex form. Produced between 2010–2020\, 177 artists\, writers\, and “fracktivists” contributed\, notably including Joseph Beuys\, Andrew Castrucci\, Sue Coe\, John Fekner\, Yoko Ono\, Alexandra Rojas\, David Sandlin\, and Walter Sipser. \nDeploying a range of aesthetics between high and lowbrow art forms\, the posters and the ideas behind them were collectively brainstormed and came to fruition at the School of Visual Arts in New York City\, where Castrucci and his students started the Dirty Graphics collective.

SUMMARY:FeMaLe GEniUs Performance and Record Release Party
DESCRIPTION:Howl Arts is pleased to announce the release of a limited-edition vinyl LP by FeMaLe GEniUs. The self-titled album captures the raw intensity of this Brooklyn estrogen band\, the trio of multi-instrumentalists Julie Hair\, Marnie Jaffe\, and Nikki D’Agostino. With their unique arrangements; minimal\, vocal-driven music; and bass loops layered with harmonies\, keyboards\, percussion and sax; they seem to have found the sonic equivalent of “outsider art.” \nCLICK HERE TO PURCHASE \nThe lyrics speak to personal politics and authentic experiences. Musical virtuosity is not the endgame. If one were to try to assign FeMaLe GEniUs a genre\, music-writer Kyle Gann’s view of what he describes as “post-minimalism (a pulsing\, droning\, hypnotic non-traditional tonality)” might be most analogous. \n\n  \n \nThe cover art\, red vinyl\, minimal label\, and graphic score included in the package indicate that this album is both a recording project and an art object. The hand-numbered limited-edition of 300 begins on the front cover with a collage of a fractured face by New York artist Douglas Landau. The back cover and record labels are photographs by artist and band-member Julie Hair. The back cover imagery\, a collection of objects ranging from a vintage ceramic dog and religious icon from Hair’s childhood to a sculpture by Philadelphia artist Paul Bearer\, represents the three band members. \nThe 11 x 22” graphic score by band member Nikki D’Agostino uses visual symbols outside of the realm of traditional notation to represent music. Modern graphic notation relies heavily on the imagination of each performer. “Removing traditional performance practice leaves the performer with a kind of exclusive power to act as an improvising interpreter as well as an inspired spontaneous composer\,” says D’Agostino. “These concepts are inherent in FeMaLe GEniUs\, as elements of the work are indeterminate in nature—leading to performances which are highly nuanced.” \nFeMaLe GEniUs is the groovin’est band without a drummer you’ve ever seen. Based on genius bass lines\, the trio plays a tangent to different styles that arose from the early NYC punk/experimental scene. Their songs will stick with you stealthily. The vocals are honest with in(genius) harmonies that are spot-on primal\, yet fresh. Top that with a techno-genius sax player and psychedelic moods\, and you’ve got FeMaLe GEniUs.\n—Michael Jung (Alice Donut\, Um) \nJulie Hair and Marnie Jaffe blasted out of the Lower East Side underground rock scene of the 1980s and are still creating. Julie’s experience in the legendary art-rock band 3 Teens Kill 4 and Marnie’s Live Skull footprint inform their musicality. (The video for “Madeline” features deep-fake versions of the two when they were in their twenties lip-synching to the song.) Nikki D’Agostino\, an avant-garde composer who teaches music technology at CUNY City Tech\, moved from being a fan to an integral member of the group. Her free improv\, skronk\, and lyrical sax lines add gravitas to the electric and effected instrumentation. Experienced performers\, they are at home playing in an art gallery\, nightclub\, or someone’s home. FeMaLe GEniUs was included in the December 2020 edition of Emergency Index: An Annual Document of Performance Practice. \nThe record is produced in association with Some Serious Business\, who hosted the group for an SSB Away artist residency in 2019 and presented performances by the trio in Albuquerque\, Santa Fe\, and Abiquiu.

SUMMARY:Short Films Curated by Andrew Castrucci
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening is pleased to present an evening of films in conjunction with the exhibition Andrew Castrucci: 36 Years at Bullet Space. The event will present a selection of films created over the last 20 years by Castrucci\, his collaborators Dave Fasano and Kevin R.
