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
