SUMMARY:The Full Moon Show  The Lazy Eye Moon
DESCRIPTION:A Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention\nEvery Month on the Full Moon\nAt 4pm sharp\nCrazy world\, right? \nYou have to keep one eye on all the fire and fury\, one eye on the riots\, one eye on the Twitter feeds\, and one eye on all the eyes looking back at you. \nIf you have a dog\, or an iguana\, or a kid\, or if you live in America\, there just aren’t enough eyes on a human head! That’s why Salley and Tony are inviting everyone to let their eyes drift from the miniluv-bellyfeel-goodsex eye chart and celebrate the Lazy Eye full moon with us. \nGuest performer and super smart eyeball expert Kenny Bullock will take us on a vision quest through the unseen world of everywhere but here. \nSuggested attire: monocles\, lounge wear\, futons\, eye patches\, Veronica Lake hairdos\, opium eye drops\, silk pajamas. \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:Love Among the Ruins
DESCRIPTION:56 Bleecker Gallery and Late 80s New York\nPresented by Some Serious Business \nand Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project \nSeptember 10–October 7\, 2017 \nOpening Reception:\nSunday\, September 10 / 4–7 PM \nO heart! oh blood that freezes\, blood that burns!\nEarth’s returns\nFor whole centuries of folly\, noise and sin!\nShut them in\,\nWith their triumphs and their glories and the rest!\nLove is best.\n—Robert Browning\, Love Among The Ruins \nLet’s also say that change is neither good or bad. It simply is. It can be greeted with terror or joy. A tantrum that says\, ‘I want it the way it was’ or a dance that says\, ‘Look\, it’s something new.’\n—Don Draper\, Mad Men (AMC) \nSome Serious Business and Howl! Happening are pleased to present Love Among The Ruins: 56 Bleecker Gallery and late 80s New York\, co-curated by Susan Martin\, founding director of Some Serious Business; Bill Stelling\, 56 Bleecker gallery director and founder of the groundbreaking FUN Gallery with Patti Astor; and artist and exhibition designer\, Maynard Monrow. All three curators were close friends of Dean Rolston\, co-owner of 56 Bleecker who died of AIDS and serves as inspiration for the exhibition. \nArtists included in the retrospective are: Austė\, Suzanne Anker\, Donald Baechler\, Sylvie Ball\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Julian Beck\, Bill Beckley\, Mike Berg\, John Bowman\, Jeff Carpenter\, Stefano Castronovo\, George Condo\, Arch Connelly\, Bruce Conner\, Scott Covert\, Ingrid Dinter\, Arnold Fern\, Vincent Gallo\, Graham Gillmore\, Allen Ginsberg\, Nan Goldin\, Eric Goode\, Robert Hawkins\, Roberto Juarez\, Scott Kilgour\, Ruth Kligman\, Norman Korpi\, Joyce Kozloff\, Tseng Kwong Chi\, David LaChapelle\, Greer Lankton\, Claire Lieberman\, Daniel Mahoney\, Frank Majore\, Fidel Márquez\, Sylvia Martins\, McDermott & McGough\, Taylor Mead\, Nicholas Mouffarrege\, David Nelson\, Felix Pène du Bois\, Jeff Perrone\, Elizabeth Peyton\, William Rand\, Elaine Reichek\, Rene Ricard\, Bill Rice\, Alexis Rockman\, Nicolas Rule\, Vittorio Scarpati\, Bruno Schmidt\, Jo Shane\, Mark Sink\, Stephen Sprouse\, Ken Tisa\, Noel Vietor\, William Wegman\, Dondi White\, Martin Wong\, Thomas Woodruff\, and Jimmy Wright. \n56 Bleecker Gallery held a unique position in the late 80’s art world. Part serious gallery\, part happening\, the space was a scene that reflected the explosive intersection of art\, performance\, music\, fashion and the incredible nightlife culture of that era. While it was a time of enormous creativity\, it was also one of deep sorrow. The exhibition is meant to focus upon the impact of the AIDS epidemic on our community at a time when lights dimmed as dear friends\, colleagues\, and role models succumbed to the disease. \nFeaturing many of the most cutting edge artists of the time\, such as Stephen Sprouse and David LaChapelle\, it also presented rigorously serious shows of artists like Bruce Conner and Elaine Reichek. The space was a forum for nightclub impresario Eric Goode to produce an installation that was a window into his future endeavors. Taylor Mead directed the gallery’s historic performance of Jackie Curtis’ Glamour\, Glory and Gold featuring legendary actors Ondine\, John Heys\, Penny Arcade\, Harry Koutoukas and Margot Howard-Howard. \n56 Bleecker was a ‘scene’ as much as a venue for art. Openings featured guests as diverse as Stavros Niarchos\, Richard Gere\, Lauren Hutton\, Fab 5 Freddy and Henry Geldzahler. Rene Ricard held court in the famous ‘Tin Room\,’ anointing those in favor and banishing his enemies to NoHo Star. \nThe historical sweep and significance of this retrospective will recreate the excitement of the era through a thoughtful curation of artists’ work\, archival material\, performance recreations\, video reminiscence\, and other special events including a new production of Jackie Curtis’ Glamour\, Glory and Gold directed by Brian Butterick. Love Among the Ruins is produced by Some Serious Business especially for Howl! Happening. \nA fully illustrated catalog will accompany the show with essays and commentary on the times by Penny Arcade\, Tom Breidenbach\, Susan Martin\, Carlo McCormick\, Maynard Monroe\, Sylvia Myles\, Jeff Perrone\, Ariana Reines\, Adam Rolston\, Bill Stelling\, and Linda Yablonsky. Some Serious Business will also publish Dean’s memoir\, “Remembering Dying”—a memento mori of Dean’s death from AIDS—with drawings made especially for the book by Austė. \nSome Serious Business will also publish Rolston’s memoir\, Remembering Dying with drawings made especially for the book by Austė. A memento mori of Dean’s death from AIDS\, it is a tribute to a remarkable man and a metaphor for all of those we lost. \nSpecial Events\nLove Among The Ruins Panel Discussion: Sunday\, September 17th – 4 PM\nGlamour\, Glory and Gold performance: Friday\, September 22nd – 7 PM\nGlamour\, Glory and Gold performance: Saturday\, September 23rd – 7 PM\nAn Evening of Poetry Noir (Poets TBA): Thursday\, September 28th – 7 PM \nSome Serious Business: The Artist Always Comes First\nFounded at the height of the Conceptual 70s\, Some Serious Business incubates emergent expression in the arts\, germinates intrepid new works and ideas\, and presents diverse projects that celebrate audacity\, experimentation\, and surprise. SSB’s core artist-driven programs and partnerships are both catalysts and sanctuaries that sustain visionary creators and thought-leaders. Based on the principle that the artist always comes first\, SSB supports hybrids and chimeras that traverse performance\, literature\, theater\, dance\, visual art\, moving image\, music\, architecture and design\, social practice\, and fields of unforeseen possibilities. Guided by eggheads and free spirits who value collaboration\, SSB is as much about process as outcomes. From the ridiculous to the sublime\, SSB revels in the creative process—embarking with artists and fellow travelers to explore the puzzles\, mysteries\, messiness\, challenges\, dialogue\, and peak experiences along the way. \nAbout Some Serious Business\nAbout Howl!

SUMMARY:Richard Boch The Mudd Club
DESCRIPTION:Book Publication Party\nJoin us for an evening celebrating The Mudd Club\, with stories told by Richard Boch as well as never-before-seen images from collections of artists both famous and notorious. Legendary Mudd Club DJ David Azarch will provide a curated soundtrack exclusively for Howl! Happening. \nThe legendary Mudd Club…you probably couldn’t get in. Jean-Michel Basquiat and Jeff Koons partied with David Byrne and Lydia Lunch. Uptown cognoscenti flirted with the children of the outer boroughs as they brought the Wild Style to the city. \nThe downtown New York scene was more than punk—it was a mad\, brilliant chaos of cheap rent and experimental art. The Mudd Club was its nexus\, the place that birthed the Eighties. Keith Haring claimed membership while Andy Warhol was only a guest. Debbie Harry learned to rap from Fab Five Freddy while Klaus Nomi practiced arias and served home-cooked pastries. \nThe decadence lasted only from 1979 to 1983\, but artist Richard Boch was there for every single moment. As the doorman of the legendary Mudd Club\, he saw everything and remembers it all. “Standing outside\, staring at the crowd\, it was ‘out there’ versus ‘in here\,’ and I was on the inside. The club was filled with the famous and soon-to-be famous\, along with an eclectic core of Mudd regulars who gave the place its identity…No Wave and post-punk artists\, musicians\, filmmakers\, and writers living in a nighttime world on the cusp of two decades. There was nothing else like it.” \nAbout Richard Boch \nRichard Boch is an artist\, writer\, and lifelong New Yorker. He was born in Brooklyn\, grew up on Long Island\, and studied printmaking and painting at The University of Connecticut and Parsons New School for Design. \nIn 2016\, Boch narrated a slide presentation at Howl! Happening related to the New York club scene. Recent exhibitions of his work include a group show at McDaris Fine Art\, a suite of multimedia prints titled A Throwback Thrown Forward\, and a series of “Page Paintings” as part of No Wave Heroes. In addition\, Boch is currently editing Bobby Grossman’s Low Fidelity: Still Photographs 1975­–1983\, and recently contributed a sidebar to Allan Tannenbaum’s Grit and Glamour: The Street Style\, High Fashion\, and Legendary Music of the 1970s.

SUMMARY:Love Among the Ruins Panel Discussion

SUMMARY:Jackie Curtis’ Glamour\, Glory and Gold
DESCRIPTION:A Staged Reading Directed by Brian Butterick AKA Hattie Hathaway\nStarring Joyce Miller\, Eileen Dover\, Flloyd\, Poison Eve\, Tina Benéz\, David Ilku\, Tennessee and featuring Mr. Joe Preston as Flo Ziegfeld. \nFifty years ago\, in 1967\, the Off-Off-Broadway classic Glamour\, Glory and Gold (The Life & Legend of Nola Noonan\, Goddess & Star) by Jackie Curtis had its initial run at The Playwrights Workshop Club in the West Village\, starring Melba La Rose\, Jr. and featuring the gorgeously fragile Candy Darling. The next year\, the show was remounted starring Jackie herself\, as well as a young and handsome Robert De Niro. \nThe show’s third run was interrupted after Jackie had an altercation on Avenue D with a knife-wielding assailant\, collapsing onstage midperformance due to a damaged kidney. Jackie would return to the boards some weeks later to finish the run—less one kidney. \nIn the 90s\, there was a revival starring the incomparable D’Arcy Drollinger\, featuring Laverne Cox and directed by Jackie’s cousin Joe Preston\, and in 2003 it was mounted at La MaMa. But it was the performance that took place under the auspices of the 56 Bleecker Gallery in the 80s that was\, by all reports\, truly a surreal affair. Directed by Taylor Mead and starring Ondine\, Penny Arcade\, John Heys\, Harry Koutoukas\, and Dame Margo Howard-Howard\, among others\, it was pure brilliance—harrowing\, heavenly\, and absolutely genius. \nAs part of Love Among the Ruins\, this seventh presentation of the camp classic will be delivered as a staged reading: hearkening back to the cacophonous rhapsody of 56 Bleecker and beckoning whispers of The Pyramid Players\, The Blacklips Performance Cult\, and Jackie’s Playhouse to illuminate Curtis’ spot-on crafting of a theatrical masterpiece. \nDirected by Brian Butterick AKA Hattie Hathaway with David van Leesten.\nSon et lumière by Carter Edwards.

Lees. The author’s groundbreaking research on Parkinson’s disease was profoundly impacted by William Burroughs\, who wrote Naked Lunch. In this extraordinary memoir\, Lees follows Burroughs into the rainforest in search of cures for his patients. Through self-experimentation\, he gains insights that encourage him to pursue new lines of pharmacological research. Reminiscent of the literary work of Oliver Sacks\, Mentored by a Madman calls for the return of imagination and open-mindedness to medical science. \nPlease join us for this very special event to honor A.J. Lees\, who will regale us with a reading from Mentored by a Madman and talk about his fascinating and provocative work\, joined by editor and publishing legend Ira Silverberg. Conversation\, book signing\, and mingling to follow! \n“Burroughs had become an unlikely prophet and a trusted oracle…. He encouraged me to get away from concrete thinking\, float in outer space\, and to run alongside a beam of light…. He also reminded me that research should not be limited to institutions and that scientists must find new ways to regain the power to explore. He had added a strange grace to my research that had helped me to fly crookedly in my curiosity for cures.”\n—A.J. Lees\, author of Mentored by a Madman

SUMMARY:Kevin Duffy John Fleck is Who You Want Him to Be
DESCRIPTION:Documentary Screening\nKevin Duffy’s groundbreaking documentary John Fleck Is Who You Want Him to Be focuses on the legendary performance artist who was the target of government-sanctioned homophobia. In 1990\, at the height of so-called “Culture Wars” and the AIDS crisis\, the controversy led to an ambiguous U.S. Supreme Court ruling which implicated the separation of church and state\, freedom of speech\, and government funding for the arts. \nIn this film\, which explores shifting identity and how we define ourselves in relation to the other\, Duffy reinvents the documentary form by implicating the viewer in a dialogue with Fleck. He uses 25 years’ worth of archival footage as a memory track to his profile of the revolutionary artist and ultimate survivor\, including shocking performance footage not seen since the controversy. \nThe filmmaker—who trails the artist as he prepares for performances at the New Museum in New York\, and California State University\, Long Beach—intercuts raw\, archival footage with a compelling interview\, in a kaleidoscopic portrait of this often misrepresented innovator.
