SUMMARY:Scooter LaForge How to Create a Monsterpiece
DESCRIPTION:We all have a core of innocence\, battered and buried. I don’t mean immunity to guilt and shame\, but the capacity to be endlessly surprised by the specificity of everything . . . \nPeter Schjeldahl\, Brooklyn Rail\, 2015 \nHowl! Happening presents How to Create a Monsterpiece\, an exhibition of new work by Scooter LaForge. Shocking and playful and messy and scary\, his paintings and three-dimensional objects are madly over the top: anarchic yet composed\, pretty yet provocative\, they embody recreational pleasure\, artistic discernment\, and the enjoyment of PLAY. \nAfter leaving the small town in New Mexico where he grew up\, LaForge received a painting degree at the University of Arizona and then moved to San Francisco\, where he polished his painting technique. He won a fellowship to Cooper Union and moved to New York\, and it was here that he rediscovered his voice in the pop-culture and cartoon worlds of his childhood. Twenty years later\, he says\, “I am doing what I was doing when I was nine or ten years old.” \nWith this exhibition\, LaForge comes full circle as a mature artist. His innocence and ability to be endlessly surprised are apparent in works that break down the barriers between sculpture and painting. LaForge\, whose work is described by the Saatchi Collection as “Golden Books on acid\,” cites Robert Rauschenberg’s combines and Claes Oldenberg’s sculpture as major influences. The works in this show incorporate presents that strangers send from around the world with a mash-up of urban detritus found on the streets of New York City. Everything is fodder for his playfulness and innovation. Combining painting with a mind-boggling array of nontraditional materials and chance objects like old brooms\, dolls’ heads\, pins\, fabric\, old clothing\, teddy bears and other stuffed animals\, bags of junk jewelry even a badminton net he found on the street\, La Forge repurposes these humble gifts. \nRauschenberg says of his intention in the combines: “I wanted to use the surprise and the collectiveness and the generosity of finding surprises. And if it wasn’t a surprise at first\, by the time I got through with it\, it was.” \nWith a nod to pop art\, an expressionist painterly eye\, and the exuberance of pattern and decoration\, LaForge peppers his work with iconic cartoon characters\, both well-known and from his wildly fertile imagination: “My heroes are Popeye\, SpongeBob SquarePants\, witches and monsters\, cats\, bunnies\, bears\, owls\, and birds\,” he says. \nAlso on view are new large paintings’ psychological landscapes that are less about how they look than about how they make the viewer feel. Painted with reckless abandon\, they combine the influences at play in his life and art play that produces beauty. \n“Scooter LaForge is acutely aware of his antecedents: Joyce Pensato\, George Condo\, Phillip Guston\, Fellini’s clowns\, Ringling Bros\, Emmet Kelly\, Picasso\, and German expressionism\,” says Happening Gallery director Ted Riederer in his essay\, “and while this true\, Scooter is completely of this era\, a time of gentrification\, art fairs\, and the economic paradox where a high-end boutique stands next to a welfare hotel on a street notorious the world over as Skid Row.” \nThe arts are a great little laboratory\, of absolutely free play of ideas and emotions which normal social space can’t cope with: you can play war and nobody dies\, and play love and nobody has their heart broken.

SUMMARY:Secrets of the Great Pyramid The Pyramid Cocktail Lounge as Cultural Laboratory
DESCRIPTION:On December 10\, 1981\, Ronald Reagan had been president for less than a year when a group of New York art-school flunk-outs threw a party at a small Polish/Ukrainian dive bar on Avenue A in New York’s East Village. Ed Koch was mayor\, the East Village was in flames\, the street drug trade was rampant\, and rents were cheap. First Avenue was viewed as the farthest east any sane person would dare to tread. The bar was called the Pyramid Cocktail Lounge; the party\, Home On the Range. Within a few weeks\, a simple excuse to frolic had transformed into a seven-nights-a-week venue – an epicenter of art\, music\, performance\, and social change. \nCarrying on a rich\, centuries-old New York tradition\, the Pyramid had many faces and functions. It was a watering hole\, a social club\, an art gallery\, a dance hall\, a music venue\, a sexual hunting ground\, a happening\, a haven. To its denizens\, it was always a freak magnet. And for many\, it was home. It lasted for roughly a decade. Like the great ethnic and cultural movements and migrations in the East Village’s long-past history\, it seemed to disappear in the twinkling of an eye. \nWhat didn’t disappear were the changes the Pyramid inspired in culture and society at large. Nor the work of many of the artists and performers who got their start there. \nFeatured in the three-week exhibition\, will be artwork and visuals from both deceased trailblazers and living\, working artists who the Pyramid embraced; ephemera from the past; performances that highlight four distinct time periods within that golden decade; and a variety of other events that spotlight the enduring spirit of The Great Pyramid. \nART AND MULTIMEDIA BY\nStephen Tashjian\, Greer Lankton\, David Wojnarowicz\, Joseph Horatio\, Julie Hair\, Billy Beyond\, Samoa\, Trey Speegle\, Deb-O-Raw C\, Jack Waters\, Peter Cramer\, Laura Levine\, Michael (London) Berube\,Tanya Ransom\, Alice O’Malley\, Clayton Patterson\, Jayne County\, Connie Fleming\, Chris Tanner\, Keiko Bonk\, Frederick Nunley\, Aner Candelario\, Lynn Grabowski\, Antony/Blacklips\, And Whyland\, Billy Beyond\, Nelson Sullivan\, Marjan Moghaddam\, Richard Oszust\, Mark Rizzo\, Scot Wright\, John Kelly\, Flloyd\, Leslie Lowe\, Tweed Theaterworks\, James Romberger\, Marguerite Van Cook\, Tennavision\, Dug Wah\, Robert Petrick\, and more TBA. \nPERFORMANCES BY\nHattie Hathaway\nHapi PhaceHeather\nLitteerKestutis\nNakasPaula Sjunneson<
