SUMMARY:Movement Research Festival
DESCRIPTION:Movement Research Festival Spring 2017\nCurated by Laurie Berg\, Monstah Black and Amy Khoshbin \nFESTIVAL ARTISTS\nAdam Soch\, Bessie McDonough-Thayer\, BS Movement\, Brother(hood) Dance!\, Cakes Da Killa\, Carlos Soto\, Charles Atlas\, Deville Cohen\, DJ Adam Rhodes\, Doreen Garner\, Dynasty Handbag\, Erica Magrey\, Greer Dworman\, Jackie 60 MCs Paul Alexander and Chi Chi Valenti with DJ Johnny Dynell\, Jasmine Hearn\, Jen Sullivan\, Kembra Pfahler\, Kenya (Robinson)\, Larissa Velez-Jackson\, Liz McAuliffe\, Lucy Sexton\, Manchildblack\, Michael DiPietro\, Mr. Richard Kennedy\, Narcissister\, Raja Feather Kelly\, Reza Abdoh\, Slim Ninja\, Sophia Peer\, Tendayi Kuumba\, Tyler Ashley\, Yozmit\n \nIn the middle of the intersection we met\, simultaneously. Riding on a wave\, each of us gravitating toward the unknown\, disregarding boundaries that were no longer needed. This place where movement blends with humor\, sound paints the landscape and visuals twist the mind into… surprise! \nOvercome by the political landscape\, here we are with our feelings. FUCKING FEELINGS (!) – yell and scream – catharsis – emotional outbursts – dance party – sweat – bodies close together – humor – collaborations with other artists/people who aren’t artists (civilians) – widen your dirty sphere – dance – music – visual art – all in one space – productive political dialogues – conversation – think tank – make fun – make serious – make art – surprise(!) \nHow can we surprise one another with the unexpected alliances that are made by cross-pollinating our communities and revolutionizing the intended uses of the venues and institutions we’re used to? It’s time to deframe or reframe the suddenly static definitions of what performance\, art\, and creative expression can be. Does it need the validation of the institution that it is assigned or can it be validated by the diverse communities that support and create it? surprise/!\, the “high” and the “low” are not so different from one another. \nLet’s overcome the divisiveness of current politics and culture and pay homage to our roots\, subverting boundaries through showing up and coming together. surprise. It’s a festival duh\, we’re doing this. \nAs we create the structure for this festival\, we cannot ignore the fact that we have no idea what will occur under this new administration in the next few months. In order to stay ready\, we are creating designated open space for meetings\, discussions or other needed formats to address what we can’t plan for – or even imagine. Throughout the course of surprise! surprise(!) surprise/! surprise\, HOWL! Happening acts as the hub for the Movement Research Festival Spring 2017 for this very purpose. We want to invite people from different communities to come together in a shared space both in formal and informal gatherings. It is also our hope that you will also get to know these incredible venues and spaces that are doing great work for their neighborhood and artistic communities. A gallery\, performance space\, and archive\, HOWL! Happening aims to shine a light on the vibrant mix of rock and roll\, social justice\, art and performance\, community activism\, LGBTQ rights and culture\, immigrants\, fashion\, and nightlife past and present in the East Village. \nFESTIVAL ARTISTS\nAdam Soch\, Bessie McDonough-Thayer\, BS Movement\, Brother(hood) Dance!\, Cakes Da Killa\, Carlos Soto\, Charles Atlas\, Deville Cohen\, DJ Adam Rhodes\, Doreen Garner\, Dynasty Handbag\, Erica Magrey\, Greer Dworman\, Jackie 60 MCs Paul Alexander and Chi Chi Valenti with DJ Johnny Dynell\, Jasmine Hearn\, Jen Sullivan\, Kembra Pfahler\, Kenya (Robinson)\, Larissa Velez-Jackson\, Liz McAuliffe\, Lucy Sexton\, Manchildblack\, Michael DiPietro\, Mr. Richard Kennedy\, Narcissister\, Raja Feather Kelly\, Reza Abdoh\, Slim Ninja\, Sophia Peer\, Tendayi Kuumba\, Tyler Ashley\, Yozmit \nwww.movementresearch.org/festival\nDownload PDF of festival brochure. \nSchedule\nMAY 31 WEDNESDAY What’s Now\, What’s Next \nJUNE 1 THURSDAY Inside Out Upside Down \nJUNE 2 FRIDAY Hail the New Puritan \nJUNE 3 SATURDAY Vertigo \nJUNE 4 SUNDAY Reza Abdoh: Theater Visionary \nJUNE 5 MONDAY Pull It Sur Prize\n \nJUNE 6 TUESDAY Basically we’re all geniuses\, end of story.

SUMMARY:No More Black Targets
DESCRIPTION:Unconscious bias can be deadly\, and contributes to one of the biggest violence issues in America. We have to do something about it. Howl! Happening is pleased to introduce No More Black Targets. \nNoMoreBlackTargets (NMBT) is a collective of artists—diverse in backgrounds\, ethnicities and nationalities—working in paint\, digital media\, patternmaking and also physical installations to bring new artwork to life. The collective paints on the actual live black silhouette paper targets used in shooting ranges\, an artistic approach that raises awareness while protesting the senseless and unlawful “black and Brown” shootings in past and recent years here in America. \nThis art project seeks to eliminate the use of the most popular target for shooters to learn to use their firearm: a menacing black silhouette. In shooting ranges\, in permitting and instruction environments\, anywhere someone is learning to use a firearm.\nTo raise awareness\, the targets will be replaced and painted over with artistic interpretations that turn the menacing black silhouettes into beautiful\, colorful and optimistic art. \nThe NMBT collective stands for “More paint. Less hate.”\nPrior to the February 2017 launching\, NMBT has gotten great development and awesome creative direction from Laurent Leccia and the team at FRED FARID. \nNMBT also partnered with the NYSEC – the New York Society of Ethical Culture. \nFeatured NoMoreBlackTargets Collective artist are: \nCYPHA\nSHAYNA KULIK\nREX CHOUK\nHEKTAD\nSACSIX\nPETER MOULTHROP\nJULIEN CALOT\nDIZMOLOGY\nBERNADETTE DELANY\nALICE MIZRACHI\nZIMER\nJENNA KRYPELL\nDENTON\nCHINON MARIA\nANDREA COOK\nUTA BRAUSER\nGIL GOREN\nAVISUAL BLISS\nJCBKNYC\nBILLIKID\nCONSUMERART\nYESONE\nBROLGA\nFKDL\nICONIC & 2CENTS\nSINES\nB.D.

SUMMARY:The Full Moon Show The Witch's Moon
DESCRIPTION:With co-hosts Tony Stinkmetal and Salley May\nA Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention \nAre you tired of every omnipotent cry-baby claiming to be the focus of a witch hunt? So are we! This Full Moon Show celebrates The Witch’s Moon. And his time\, the Witches will be doing the hunting. \nSalley May and Tony Stinkmetal take back the night—or more precisely\, the late afternoon—and come out swinging the Malleus Maleficarum (or medieval Witch’s Hammer) as the Full Moon Crew “un-burns” the entwined histories of witchcraft and counter-culture\, and mixes up a heady brew of historical irony\, hysterical insecurity\, and politically induced pyromania. \nMoon Goddess Luna Macaroona will be playing the role of Circe\, turning those who offend her into wild beasts. Instead of burning witches she lays waste to corrupt marketers of eternal youth\, sexism\, and the slavish followers of the social media who feed the beast. (No\, not that Beast. We mean the power structure.) \nThis Black Sabbath will include a visit from Alice Klugherz\, director of the Natural Selection performance coven to lift the current veil of mediocrity from our culture. In Haik Dreams Alice and her den of crones stir the cauldron of ageism with fierce\, funny vignettes about becoming—and being—an older woman. Unleashed from the stage and roaming freely on First Street anything might happen. Laid bare\, supercharged\, nothing to prove—these women will not go quietly! \nSo set your broomstick to stun  and your black cat to cruise-control! Suggested attire: pointy hats\, PVC chaps\, proto-crone-glam\, Lagerfeld anything\, thistle everything\, widow’s peaks with silver streaks\, spirit animals\, familiars\, Barbara Steele realness\, cobweb shawls\, Druid hoodies\, Joan of Arc haircuts. \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.

SUMMARY:I ♥ John Giorno: Pierre Huyghe Sleeptalking
DESCRIPTION:Ugo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno\nOpening Reception: June 21\, 5pm \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present Pierre Huyghe’s Sleeptalking (d’après Sleep)\, \nin the heart of the neighborhood that spawned the revolutionary spirit and vanguard cultural figures who populate Giorno’s Sleeptalking narrative: Ginsberg\, Warhol\, Burroughs\, Cage\, et al. By celebrating the poet who is an inspirational and influential part of the Howl! community\, we also commemorate the tumultuous changes instigated in the 60s and 70s\, which live on and frame Howl’s mission to view contemporary culture through the lens of these groundbreaking artists. We salute John’s contributions and voice in this recontextualized tribute to Warhol’s Sleep and its dormant lead actor. \nPierre Huyghe’s 1998 work Sleeptalking (d’après Sleep) reconsiders the depiction of John Giorno in Andy Warhol’s Sleep\, 35 years after its premiere. Huyghe visited the poet in his loft at 222 Bowery\, intending to recreate Warhol’s film and have a conversation with Giorno about his life. The artist spent five days interviewing Giorno for over eight hours a day. On their final day together\, Huyghe filmed Giorno sleeping on the same bed featured in Warhol’s Sleep. \nIn the final work\, Huyghe overlaid his footage of Giorno with Warhol’s\, and through subtle shifts\, Giorno’s time-marked face imperceptibly changes and rejuvenates. This return to the original\, revealed in the film by a slow fade-out\, is accompanied by the poet’s voice. Giorno describes the context of the creation of the film Sleep and his memories of working with Warhol. As part of a series of works about the notion of interpretation\, Huyghe associates Warhol’s Sleep with the dreams and utopias of the 60s. Awoken from his long slumber\, the sleeper now speaks and becomes an actor in a different reality\, evoking the time he lived and its history. \nUgo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno is a sprawling\, multipart exhibition which presents the extraordinary life and work of the poet\, artist\, activist and muse John Giorno. Encompassing 13 venues around Manhattan—and featuring paintings\, films\, sound installations\, drawings\, archival presentations\, and a video environment—this retrospective includes Giorno’s own work\, as well as work inspired by him. \nI ♥ John Giorno is also a work of art by Giorno’s husband\, the Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone\, who has been creating sculptures\, paintings\, drawings\, and multimedia installations for almost three decades. With this project\, Rondinone presents a prismatic portrait\, assembled from the thoughtful arrangement of materials\, experiences\, and relationships that have defined Giorno’s astonishingly wide-ranging artistic career. Foremost\, the project is a joyous celebration of the poet’s ubiquitous presence in contemporary culture\, and his myriad contributions to it. \nRondinone’s homage to his life partner\, Ugo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno\, is the latest and by far most ambitious collaboration of Giorno’s career. The project unfolds in 18 chapters\, each a distinct exhibition sited in a non-profit or alternative space in Manhattan. Every chapter takes the form of an immersive installation\, designed by Rondinone and dedicated to a body of work\, an interest\, a relationship or a collaboration that has marked Giorno’s life. This includes his poetry\, painting\, sound work and performance; his recording projects and the founding of Giorno Poetry Systems; his AIDS activism; his Tibetan Buddhism; and his vast personal archive that comprises a history of radical art and poetry in New York during the second half of the 20th century. Several installations feature portraits of Giorno by different generations of filmmakers\, painters\, videographers and musicians. One consists of a single work: a multichannel video installation by Rondinone\, consisting of multiple images of Giorno performing one of his recent epic poems. \nUgo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno is a unique artistic and curatorial experiment. The cooperation between so many disparate nonprofit and alternative institutions in New York in the presentation of a single project is similarly unprecedented. The singularity of this monumental hybrid of artwork and exhibition is testament to the breadth\, variation\, and longevity of Giorno’s ongoing career\, as well as Rondinone’s artistic vision. Those lucky or stalwart enough to visit all 18 chapters of the exhibition will come away with an idea of both of these artists’ achievements. In its size and ambition\, I ♥ John Giorno can be seen as a citywide work of public art. At the same time\, it is an intimate expression of love and inspiration between two artist partners. It is an astonishing gesture of love on Giorno’s part to give the sum total of his life’s work to Rondinone as material for his own artwork. Perhaps\, in equal response\, Rondinone has conceived a work of art as big as Manhattan itself —Laura Hoptman \nABOUT UGO RONDINONE  \nUgo Rondinone (b. 1964\, Brunnen\, Switzerland) is a renowned mixed-media artist who lives and works in New York.

In the 1960s\, he began producing multi-media\, multi-sensory events concurrent with Warhol’s Exploding Plastic Inevitable. He worked with Rauschenberg’s Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T) in 1966\, and with Bob Moog in 1967-68. His breakthroughs in this area include Dial-A-Poem\, which was first presented in 1968 at the Architectural Society of New York\, and was later included in the MoMA’s Information exhibition in 1970. His contributions are significant to many culturally defining moments: the Beat generation\, Pop Art\, Punk\, the Pictures Generation\, and the hip-hop era. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, New York; Centre Georges Pompidou\, Paris; Musée National d´Art Moderne\, Paris; and Queensland Art Gallery/Gallery of Modern Art\, Brisbane; among others. \nUgo Rondinone: I ♥ John Giorno is made possible in part by public funds from the Swiss Arts Council Pro Helvetia.

SUMMARY:Iris Rose The Joe Project
DESCRIPTION:Documentary Screening \nIris Rose was a familiar figure of the East Village performance scene in the 80s and early 90s\, primarily as a member of the group Watchface. She performed frequently at La MaMa\, PS122\, Darinka\, and the Pyramid Club\, among many other venues. By the middle of the decade\, however\, she had virtually disappeared as a presence within that community. Where had she gone? \nThe Joe Project tells the story of Iris’ trip “down the mommy hole.” After her son Joe was born in 1988\, she struggled—as many parents have before and since—to find the perfect balance between her work as an artist and devotion to her child. \nWhen Joe graduated from high school in 2006\, Iris began work on The Joe Project to mark that milestone\, and the transition to a new phase it represented for both of them. Together\, mother and son collected a profusion of media artifacts\, representing specific years of his childhood as she set to work\, examining their evolving relationship and her accommodations to motherhood. Written by Iris and edited by Joe\, The Joe Project documents changes in their lives\, but also in the East Village\, around the turn of the millennium—the very specific place and time where their story occurred.

SUMMARY:Christopher Felver Lawrence Ferlinghetti : A Rebirth of Wonder
DESCRIPTION:Documentary Screening and Shorts \nThe poet and writer Lawrence Ferlinghetti is an iconic presence in the world of arts and letters. For well over half a century\, he has helped shape the currents of poetry and literature through his forceful engagement with society. Armed with an ideological position that often found him at odds with the political dogma of his day\, Ferlinghetti became the best-selling poet of the modern era\, a literary mercenary\, and a rebel at the forefront of a cultural revolution. \nIn this definitive documentary\, director Christopher Felver crafts an incisive\, sharply-wrought portrait that reveals Ferlinghetti’s true role as catalyst for numerous literary careers\, and for the Beat movement itself. Felver’s one-on-one interviews with Ferlinghetti\, made over the course of a decade\, touch upon a rich mélange of characters and events that began to unfold in post-war America. These events include the publication of Allen Ginsberg’s Howl\, William S. Burroughs’ Naked Lunch\, and Jack Kerouac’s On the Road\, as well as the divisive events of the Vietnam War\, the sexual revolution\, and this country’s perilous march towards intellectual and political bankruptcy. Since its inception in 1953\, Ferlinghetti’s City Lights Bookstore quickly became an iconic literary institution\, embodying social change and literary freedom. Continuing to thrive for over five decades\, it is a cornerstone of America’s modern literary and cultural history. \nAlso being screened is History of the Airplane and Hum Bomb! by Allen GInsberg \nAbout Chris Felver
