SUMMARY:Empire: An Arturo Vega Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: March 23\, 2017 / 6 PM \nI want my paintings to look like what’s going on outside my window…\n—Robert Rauschenberg \n My ideas come from the streets. —Arturo Vega \nHowl! Happening is delighted to announce Empire: An Arturo Vega Retrospective—originally curated by Jade Dellinger for the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery of Florida SouthWestern State College—opening in New York with a public reception on March 23\, 2017 at 6 PM. This ambitious survey runs through April 20 and will include guest lectures\, performances and a panel discussion exploring Arturo Vega’s broader impact on popular culture while contextualizing his work as a visual artist. \nHowl! Happening was established to honor Vega\, his life and work\, and his support for East Village artists\, and we are particularly proud to be the second stop for the late Mexican-born artist’s U.S. museum retrospective. The exhibition features photography\, collage and a number of iconic canvases from the artist’s Supermarket and Silver Dollar series (begun in the 70s); his Flags and so-called “word paintings” from Insults; and other series produced during the 80s\, 90s and aughts. Of special note is his last major work\, Life isn’t tragic\, love is just being ignored\, a mural commissioned in 2013 that hung on the corner of Prince and Elizabeth streets. \nIt is particularly fitting that the Empire retrospective should be initiated by the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery\, as Dellinger notes their inspirational parallels. For although the two artists may never have met\, he says in his catalog introduction\, “Vega and Rauschenberg understood that art had the power to permeate borders and bring revolutionary change. They were born and raised on opposite sides of the Tex-Mex divide\, but were citizens of the world with global ambition to engage in a dialogue about the sociopolitical\, humanitarian and monetary impact of nations.” \nEscaping the repressive violence of an authoritarian regime under Mexico’s “perfect dictatorship” in the late 60s\, Arturo Vega made his way to New York City to study English\, philosophy\, and photography at the New School for Social Research in the early 70s. Having discovered Elvis as a child and later co-directing a touring production of The Who’s Tommy at the National University in Mexico City\, Vega understood the revolutionary and transformative power of music\, theatre/performance and art. \nWhile working on his first painting series of supermarket signs\, he befriended members of the Ramones\, a rock and roll band that would soon play their first show (and would decades later be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame). Designing the Ramones’ ubiquitous logo based on the Great Seal of the United States\, painting backdrops for their stage\, and creating a lighting scheme loosely adapted from Albert Speer’s Lichtdom to enhance their effect\, Vega created visual imagery that defined the transgressive aesthetic of punk rock by co-opting and questioning symbols of power. \nIn numerous group shows since the 70s\, Vega’s work has more recently been the subject of one-person exhibitions at CB’s 313 Gallery\, New York City (1992); Raleigh Studios\, Miami Beach (curated by Sandra Schulman\, 1994); Galería OMR\, Mexico City (2011); Klerkx Art Agency\, Amsterdam (2012); La Estación Arte Contemporáneo\, Chihuahua\, Mexico (2013); Museo Casa Redonda de Chihuahua\, Mexico (2012); and Howl! Happening\, New York City (2015 and 2016). \nAs Vega once said: “Art connects to the eternal—demanding fast changes and a reckless appetite for truth\, justice and a better way of life.” Empire: An Arturo Vega Retrospective\, which premiered at the Bob Rauschenberg Gallery\, draws parallels and explores interests shared by Arturo Vega\, our gallery namesake. For Rauschenberg\, “(Art was) a means to function thoroughly and passionately in a world that has a lot more to it than paint.” \nConcurrent with the exhibition\, curators\, critics\, and dear friends deepen understanding of his life and work\, including a penetrating look at the cultural and political climate in Mexico that nurtured the visual and conceptual framework played out in the studio paintings featured in Empire and his work with the Ramones. \nArturo Vega’s Art and Life with the Ramones\nA presentation by Sandra Schulman and Monte A. Melnick \nMarch 24th / 7pm / Free \nArturo Vega  Above and Beyond\nPanel Discussion with Special Guests Jade Dellinger\, Carlo McCormick\, Anthony Haden-Guest and Adam Lehrer\nMarch 26 / 4 PM / Free \nDan Cameron Mexico City\, Circa 1970\nSlideshow and Lecture \nSunday\, March 26\, 2017 / 7 PM / Free  \nPaul Tschinkel\nAlan Vega: An Artist’s Story\nApril 14 / 7pm / Free \nEmpire Closing Party and The Last Interview by Amon Focus\nApril 20 / 7pm / Free \n  \n

SUMMARY:Local Knowledge Magazine Issue #5
DESCRIPTION:Publication Party and Reading\n\nPlease join us in celebrating the release of the fifth issue of Local Knowledge\, a literary and art journal. Contributors include: Vyt Bakaitis\, Ted Barron\, Max Blagg\, Dario Brik\, Mike DeCapite\, Maggie Dubris\, Alan Kaufman\, Jody Morlock\, Rick Mullin\, Kate Register\, David James Smith\, Anton Yakovlev\, Susan Yung\, and Donald Zirilli \nAbout Local Knowledge \nLocal Knowledge\, a journal of art and literature published three times a year\, is a magazine that brings together poets\, prose writers (fiction and non-fiction) and artists to foster conversation\, exploration of the creative flow\, real dialogue and experience. As its name implies\, Local Knowledge offers an alternative to the disconnect in the homogenized creative writing scene. Instead\, the magazine proposes all knowledge is local and spreads out from the life and language of people who lead their lives not simply as artists\, but as individuals struggling with the process of daily experience. Sanjay Agnihotri is the editor and publisher of the magazine; Tom Haynes is art editor and Harry Lewis\, Editorial Advisor.

SUMMARY:Arleen Schloss FORGET ABOUT THAT  SWEET FUCK BABY
DESCRIPTION:Film/Video Screening\, Panel Discussion\, T-shirt Benefit\nThis event is cash only \nSome Serious Business and Howl! Happening are pleased to present a tribute to the work of Arleen Schloss\, an influential figure in the downtown New York art\, video\, performance art and music scenes. FORGET ABOUT THAT SWEET FUCK BABY is an evening of film screenings and discussion with director/producer Roberta Friedman\, educator and independent filmmaker Stuart Ginsberg\, Whitney Museum curator Christiane Paul\, and archivist Sur Rodney (Sur). \nSchloss gained attention in the 70s as a critically acclaimed performance artist and has gone on to create groundbreaking work in a variety of mediums including film\, video\, sound poetry\, new music\, composing\, books\, and mail art. She co-founded A’s—an interdisciplinary loft space that was a hub for music\, exhibitions\, performance art\, films and videos. A hotbed of experimentation\, A’s featured works from Eric Bogosian\, Glenn Branca\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, John Zorn\, Elliott Sharp\, Richard Hambleton\, Liquid Liquid\, Carolee Schneemann\, The Coachmen\, Kim Gordon\, Phoebe Legere\, Mania D\, Thurston Moore\, Shirin Neshat\, Lee Ranaldo\, Sur Rodney (Sur)\, Alan Vega and Ai Weiwei. \nShifting from one genre to another\, she has created a finely interwoven body of work. Always on the cutting edge\, Schloss fused new forms of creative expression and technology into her film\, video\, cyber art and performance work. \nSchloss’s performances possess a spirit described by Linda Burnham as “a contagious sense of wonder.” These presentations\, which could involve Schloss’s cyclical recitation of the alphabet\, live painting\, closed-circuit video\, and music all at once\, combine the anti-art whimsy of Fluxus\, scientific exploration\, Cageian indeterminacy\, and a site-specific empathy that makes every act unique.\n—New Museum\, Schloss film screening\, in conjunction with Come Closer: Art Around the Bowery\, 1969–1989 \nIn her honor\, SSB will reproduce a limited number of FORGET ABOUT THAT SWEET FUCK t-shirts from How She Sees It by Her (1981) as seen in Toyo Tsuchiya’s photo of Arleen. Tees for men and women will be available at the gallery\, or bring your own shirt and we’ll silkscreen it for you then and there for $25 a pop. All proceeds the evening of the event go to benefit Arleen. The evening is co-curated by Stuart Ginsberg\, and SSB directors Susan Martin and Quintan Ana Wikswo. \nFilm/Video Screening\nHow She Sees It by Her\, 1981 (18 minutes)\nThe title of this film is derived from the story HOW SHE SEES IT BY HER\, a 58-page written journal of personal observations scanning life and survival in New York City in the early 80s. Originating as a piece of sound poetry and later a public performance\, Arleen mixed her voice and personal observations with footage from the time period. \nGlenn Branca Symphony #4 (Physics)\, 1984 (11 minutes)\nA docu-collage in sound and music capturing the godfather of classical noise throughout a multi-city European tour in 1983. Featuring Thurston Moore and Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth\, Barbara Ess\, Arleen Schloss\, Margaret De Wys\, Stephan Wischerth\, Amanda Linn\, and others\, Branca explains his harmonics over vintage shots of his high-energy conducting style. \n Performance on the subway to combat crime in New York City\, 1979 (12 minutes)\nIn response to the spike in subway violence in 1979\, Arleen Schloss executed a performance art workshop/social experiment to combat crime. Beginning at the Grand Street subway stop in New York\, Schloss and her collaborators sang\, danced\, and performed along the F train to make the subway safe\, encountering baffled commuters\, unsympathetic police\, and bemused spectators. \nSun Daze Away\, 1989 (9 minutes)\nUsing one of the first 8mm video cameras produced\, Schloss shoots a musical and collage-filled travelogue throughout America’s Southwest. Intercutting interviews from local townspeople\, landscapes and news footage\, Sun Daze Away has an experimental quality with bursts of color and sound. \nAbout the Panelists\nStuart Ginsberg\, Moderator\nRoberta Friedman\nChristiane Paul\nSur Rodney (Sur) \nAbout Arleen Schloss\nNew Museum interview\nNew Museum Super 8 and Hi8 Film screenings \nAbout Some Serious Business \nImage: Toyo Tsuchiya\, from No Se No series.

SUMMARY:The Full Moon Show With MC Extraordinaire Paul Alexander
DESCRIPTION:A Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention\nEvery Month on the Full Moon\nMC Extraordinaire Paul Alexander uses his mic as a divining rod to get to the bottom of  . . . all this. From whirling dervishes to house parties\, big answers have often been found on the dance floor. \nTo celebrate April’s Dancing Moon\, MC Alexander will be laying down the law at Howl! International nightclub royalty\, Alexander has been dubbed Voice Of The Night. \nAs vocalist with The Ones\, and an MC at the legendary Tuesday evening extravaganza\, Jackie 60\, Paul honed his talents. He is currently casting his new Musical Trinket’s (a fairy tale set in a 20th century meat-packing district) at the Gene Frankel Theater. \nHowl!’s bi-coastal Full Moon Show curators and co-hosts Salley May and Tony Stinkmetal perform a long-distance tango via Skype as Salley brings the party to L.A. See you on the dance floor—in this case\, the sidewalk outside Howl! Happening—and let the firm hand of MC Paul Alexander guide you to express your fear and rage and hope and love. \nGet to work\, children! \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. \nImage: P. Alexander

SUMMARY:Dan Cameron: Sexo\, Drogas y Rock ‘n’ Roll
DESCRIPTION:Dan Cameron \nLower East Side curator and critic Dan Cameron\, who organized the exhibition When Jackie Met Ethyl for Howl! Happening in May 2016\, and wrote texts for both our Arturo Vega and Pyramid Lounge publications\, returns to give a talk on a part of Vega’s life and career that until now has been left unexplored: his years as a budding actor and artist in Mexico City. Although no physical artwork by Vega remains from this period\, Cameron has spoken to his friends and acquaintances from that time\, and drawn heavily on the research of contemporary Mexican curators to describe a cultural context in which visual artists were art directing rock bands\, avant-garde filmmakers made TV shows on rock and roll\, and Mexican youth culture seemed as fixated on sex and drugs as its northern neighbor. Special focus is made on the artist Pedro Friedeberg\, whose work and lifestyle had a powerful impact on the young Arturo\, and the disastrous Avándaro rock festival in 1971\, repercussions from which would literally drive the growing Mexican live concert scene underground\, and many of its more ambitious young creative minds into exile.

SUMMARY:Paul Tschinkel Alan Vega: An Artist’s Story
DESCRIPTION:In 1979\, filmmaker/artist Paul Tschinkel videotaped one of Suicide’s earliest performances at Max’s Kansas City in New York. The film starts with a thrilling performance of Ghost Rider and concludes with Vega performing at CBGB in 1983. \nIn 2004\, Alan spoke to Tschinkel frankly and movingly about his roots and life as an artist and performer. The film reveals Alan’s story as he tells it—his early interest in art and studies with such luminaries as Burgoyne Diller and Ad Reinhardt at Brooklyn College\, and his eventual contact with Martin Rev and their journey to gut-wrenching musical performances as electropunk duo Suicide. \nConceived in the early 70s by Vega and Rev\, the band was initially associated with the avant-punk movement of the New York music scene that spawned such groups as Blondie\, The Velvet Underground\, the Ramones\, the New York Dolls\, the Heartbreakers\, and many others. They quickly became a phenomenom—unclassifiable and against the grain of the increasingly “pop” sensibility of punk. Suicide’s hypnotic\, pulsing synth and cheap drum machine sound\, combined with Vega’s eerie\, echoing vocals in primal rockabilly style\, captured the feeling of a crumbling city…the ominous looks…the sound of the microphone slamming against the face…. \nInitially trashed by the music press\, their confrontational live performances are the stuff of legend. Recognized for unique and revolutionary style\, the album Suicide (1977) was recently named by Rolling Stone as one of the 500 best albums of all times.

SUMMARY:Ori Carino and Benjamin Armas Voided
DESCRIPTION:So you should view this fleeting world —\nA star at dawn\, a bubble in a stream\,\nA flash of lightning in a summer cloud\,\nA flickering lamp\, a phantom\, and a dream.\n                        —Diamond Cutter Sutra (500 BC) \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, April 29\, 6 PM. \nTapping into a new generation of artists who grew up in the East Village and who are steeped in its history and culture\, Howl! Happening is pleased to present Voided by Ori Carino and Benjamin Armas. Voided includes Carino’s protest paintings series as well as several collaborative sculptures by Armas and Carino. The exhibition runs through May 27\, 2017. \nCarino was born in 1982 in a loft and functioning art gallery on Houston Street in Manhattan and raised among several pivotal artists of the 80s Outsider Art movement. Collectively\, this exhibition intersects downtown artistic lineages from the 50s to the present and demonstrates the continuing social critique that has engaged generations of artists in the Lower East Side. \nCarino’s paintings feature portraits of a procession of activist heroes who left their mark on East Village history. Densely packed with movement and storytelling\, the series includes five large panels\, each 48 x 72 inches. Meticulously painted like Tibetan thangkas\, these archetypes of the forward thinking and progressive individuals who went against the grain are rendered amid canvases crowded with a hyperreal and fantastical array of pop culture symbols and objects from the natural world. Like protector spirits\, they signify the wild things\, the change\, and the altruism of the individuals and groups pushing us forward to a better understanding of who we are and how we intersect with the world today. \nBuilding sculptures with materials recovered from local tenement demolitions since 2006\, Armas and Carino both grew up in the neighborhood at a time when it was undergoing rapid gentrification. Treating these works as “performance\,” the artists intentionally change them by a process of ceremonial burning and dilapidation. “In this\, we relate to buildings as metaphors for the physical\, mental\, and social body; racing towards an inevitable end\, yet endowed with unlimited potential for catalyzing positive change\,” says Armas. \nAlso included in the show is a large painting with a motorized brush that drags paint in a circle essentially “voiding” its imagery\, a performance occurring daily that has Carino repeatedly building up a brick wall only to tear it down\, a special multiple made for the show by Armas and Carino\, panel discussions\, and a new work by composer Jessie Montgomery produced in conjunction with Carino specially for the Voided exhibition. \n“By losing what once was\, we gain the opportunity to discard preconceived notions\, affirm our agency\, and ‘represent’ the change we would like to manifest\,” says Carino.
