Arts/Howl! Archive (HA/HA) is pleased to present Low Fidelity\, a selection of photographs by Bobby Grossman that documents and sheds new light on icons of New York’s punk-rock scene and the culture that bred other trailblazing artists and musicians of the 70s\, 80s\, and 90s. \nGrossman arrived in New York in 1976 after receiving a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)\, where he studied alongside friends Chris Frantz and David Byrne of Talking Heads. His first job was assisting Richard Bernstein\, the artist responsible for the covers of Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine. At Bernstein’s studio in the legendary Chelsea Hotel\, Grossman found himself at ground zero in the early days of punk and the downtown scene. \nTaking photographs of friends and newfound acquaintances—including Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Debbie Harry\, the Ramones\, David Bowie\, Iggy Pop\, and the milieu around Andy Warhol’s Factory—Grossman became a regular fixture at CBGB\, the Mudd Club\, and other downtown haunts. \nGrossman also served as the official photographer for Glenn O’Brien’s TV Party\, the seminal weekly public-access television show that David Letterman once described as “…the greatest TV show anywhere\, ever!” TV Party ran from 1978–1982 and captured the countless artists and innovators on the scene including Blondie\, George Clinton\, Basquiat\, “Fab 5 Freddy” Brathwaite\, and Klaus Nomi. \nBobby was one of the first serious photographers to capture me in action back then\, and each image brings back valuable memories of a time when we did successfully change and subvert the direction of pop culture. —“Fab 5 Freddy” Brathwaite \nGrossman’s work was included in the groundbreaking 1981 exhibition\, New York/New Wave\, at P.S.1 alongside more than a hundred artists including Kenny Scharf\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Keith Haring\, Brian Eno\, and Nan Goldin. Grossman’s work has appeared in numerous publications and documentaries\, though the majority of his archive has remained unseen until now. \nThe exhibition includes photos of Andy Warhol\, Talking Heads\, Blondie\, the Ramones\, Lou Reed\, David Bowie\, The B-52’s\, Iggy Pop\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Diego Cortez\, Cookie Mueller\, John Waters\, Jackie Curtis\, Anya Phillips\, Lester Bangs\, Nile Rogers\, Robert Fripp\, Anya Phillips\, Richard Hell\, Grace Jones\, Glenn O’Brien\, William Burroughs\, and countless other cultural icons from the period. \nBobby\, above all an empathetic person\, has the ability to contribute to his subject’s freedom in front of the lens. —Debbie Harry \nThe exhibition also marks the start of a Kickstarter campaign to publish Low Fidelity\, a book that captures personal\, firsthand accounts by personalities including Debbie Harry\, Chris Stein\, Clem Burke\, “Fab 5 Freddy” Brathwaite\, Richard Boch\, Walter Steding\, Sylvia Reed\, Godlis\, Vincent Fremont\, Duncan Hannah\, Victor Bockris\, Tina Weymouth\, Chris Frantz\, Lisa Jane Persky\, Robert Fripp\, Lenny Kaye\, Amos Poe\, Suzanne Mallouk\, Meg Griffin\, Jamie Nares\, Max Blagg\, Kate Simon\, Ed Stasium\, Robyn Geddes\, Guy Furrow\, Julia Gorton\, Hal and Randy Ludacer\, Claudia Summers\, Chocomoo\, and Punk magazine publisher John Holmstrom. With a preface by Lisa Jane Persky\, introduction by Glenn O’Brien\, and afterword by Richard Boch. \n\nABOUT BOBBY GROSSMAN \nBobby Grossman is an artist and photographer. He was born in Manhattan\, grew up in Westchester\, New York\, and earned his BFA at the Rhode Island School of Design. Grossman moved to New York City in 1976\, taking up residency at the Hotel Chelsea. Working as a freelancer by day\, he found his way to Warhol’s Factory on Union Square\, where he was regarded as an insider. During that same period\, he became a regular presence while documenting the scene at CBGB and eventually the Mudd Club. Grossman’s reputation as a contributing photographer to both major publications and underground journals was soon well established. His work has appeared in numerous exhibitions\, catalogs\, and films. His first photo credit was the cover shot for Talking Heads’ 1977 single “Psycho Killer”. \nGroup exhibitions include the legendary 1980 Times Square Show and the 1981 New York/New Wave at P.S.1. Bande a part\, The Cool and the Crazy\, and the 2013 show Just Chaos! Images of Early Punk Style at Bookmarc continued to place his work in the public eye. Grossman’s photographs have been shown in museums and galleries worldwide\, including solo exhibitions in New York\, Boca Raton\, Sarasota\, and the 2016 Low Fidelity show in Providence\, Rhode Island. His earliest contributions to film include The Radiant Child\, about Jean-Michel Basquiat; the William Burroughs documentary A Man Within; and the No-Wave documentary Blank City. Grossman was the official photographer for Glenn O’Brien’s public-access TV Party and made a cameo in the film Downtown 81. His work is included in the documentary Fifteen Minutes Eternal\, celebrating the Andy Warhol Museum’s 20th anniversary; the 2017 award-winning documentary Basquiat: Rage to Riches; and filmmaker Sara Driver’s 2018 release\, Boom for Real: The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat. Grossman collaborated with Richard Prince on the book Cowboy\, Shepard Fairey on the documentary Obey Giant\, Debbie Harry on her fashion collection with Obey\, and Junya Watanabe for Comme des Garçons. The iconic portrait of Harry shown at Deitch Projects in 2010\, along with the 2017 Blondie wall mural at Bleecker Street and Bowery\, are additional Fairey collaborations. Other photographic contributions include multiple images for Glenn O’Brien’s 2017 book Intelligence for Dummies: Essays and Other Writings\, a 2018 episode of Anthony Bourdain: Parts Unknown\, and Debbie Harry’s 2019 memoir Face It. \n  URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/bobby-grossmanlow-fidelity/ LOCATION:HA/HA\, 250 Bowery\, 2nd Floor\, New York\, NY\, 10012\, United States CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Gallery,HAHA,Happening Soon ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.howlarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Bobby-Grossman-Portrait_crop.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220421 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20220530 DTSTAMP:20230916T212246Z CREATED:20220218T182416Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230916T212246Z UID:10000630-1650499200-1653868799@www.howlarts.org SUMMARY:Christy Rupp Othered DESCRIPTION:An Installation of Sculpture and Works on Paper \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n ►\n Explore 3D Space \n \n \n \n Christy Rupp: Othered\n \n \n \n\nWe live as part of an amazing organism that has the capacity to regenerate\, given a chance. We also live in the waste stream. Garbage is a combat zone where our desire for comfort and function meets the limits of our nest. —Christy Rupp \nPlastic—as both form and content—has figured prominently in her art… It serves as a perfect signifier for the conceptual underpinnings of her work\, its pointed critique\, and subversive humor. —Nina Felshin\, Noisy Autumn: Sculpture and Works on Paper\, 2021 \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present Othered\, a new installation integrating images and objects by artist\, activist\, and thought-leader Christy Rupp. The conceptual underpinnings of her long career have consistently called attention to our interconnectedness with non-humans and habitat—transmuting urban detritus through collage\, sculpture\, public art\, and activism to reveal what is hidden away from common view and understanding. A monograph on Rupp’s work\, Noisy Autumn: Sculpture and Works on Paper\, with essays by Lucy Lippard\, Nina Felshin\, Amy Lipton\, and Carlo McCormick\, and poetry by Bob Holman\, was published in 2021 by Insight Editions. \nAs artists rummaged through the remnants of a crumbling city in the mid 1970s\, Rupp developed an interest in urban ecology\, noting that the city is an ecosystem with a delicate balance. Transforming that discovery\, she created work at the intersection of performance and site\, joining a stream of artists breaching the boundaries of the gallery system’s white box.  \nSubversive and prescient\, her early intervention into the landscape during New York City’s garbage strike of 1979—when swarms of rats became the symbol of urban decay—“was a seminal episode in the emergence of street art and a paradigm of what urban art can tell us\,” says writer Carlo McCormick. “But as much as the deluge of rubbish and rat attack may have constituted the kind of sensationalist scandal this town has always trafficked in\, this was very much Rupp’s point—that rats\, like the humans whose filth they have long thrived in\, are denizens of the city\, neither good nor evil\, they simply are.” Her work is less concerned with representation of animals than with the framing of our attitudes toward habitat\, and how we construct our opinions of nature. \nIn Othered\, Rupp investigates topics including climate chaos\, the industrialization of our food supply\, and water pollution through the lens of Discard Studies\, a discipline that examines the wider role of society and culture\, social norms\, and power on the waste stream. Her sculptures of birds\, fish\, mammals\, and microorganisms made from plastic\, commercial packaging\, credit cards\, and bits of industrial debris manifest the voices of invisible microbes and species long displaced. Using wall-scale collage\, “she juxtaposes scenes of nature and industrial development with biological specimens and nature-based patterns that are stylized\, tamed\, and made decorative for human consumption\,” says art critic Eleanor Heartney in a recent catalog.  \nLong before the climate crisis confronting us all was headline news\, her work was “galvanized by climate chaos and other ecological nightmares\,” says critic Lucy Lippard\, “and she pioneered a down-to-earth urban eco art at a time when ecology was understood as politically peripheral and nostalgically wilderness-oriented.”  \nFor Rupp\, the materiality of the work—plastic debris and other recycled examples of our rampant consumerism—is “both the medium and the message\,” and the subject of her practice points to issues that are current here and now. It is through the artist’s imagination that these timely topics come to life. As independent curator Amy Lipton says in Noisy Autumn\, “Few can match the wit\, irreverence and impeccable skills of Christy Rupp. Play between the poetic and the real requires a hard-sought balance that Rupp strives for and understands as necessary for taking on some of the most challenging issues of our time.” \nAbout Christy Rupp \nChristy Rupp is an American eco-artist and citizen scientist. Born in the Rust Belt of Upstate New York\, she was too young for Elvis and too old for Barbie. For the past five decades Rupp has continued the search for clues that might explain how we have arrived at the edge of the Extractocene\, a world permanently altered by the presence of Homo sapiens.  \nRupp was part of the artist collective Collaborative Projects (Colab)—organizer of the historic Times Square Show—as well as ABC No Rio and other East Village-era artist groups.  \nShe has received grants from Anonymous was a Woman Foundation\, Joan Mitchell Foundation CALL Award\, National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts\, and Art Matters Inc. Her work has been recently shown at the Schunck Museum in Heerlen\, Netherlands; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York; Zimmerli Art Museum; and ABC No Rio in Exile.She has just launched a career survey\, Noisy Autumn: Sculpture and Works on Paper\, published by Insight Editions.

Happening is pleased to present Margaret Randall\, a longtime friend of the gallery and revered feminist poet\, essayist\, translator\, photographer\, and social activist. Coming from her home in Albuquerque to New York\, we are excited to host her in celebration of her two new books–Artists in My Life and Risking a Somersault in the Air\, both published by New Village Press. \nArtists in My Life is a collection of intimate and conversational accounts of the visual artists that have impacted the renowned poet activist Margaret Randall on her own journey as an artist. Randall writes of each relationship through multiple lenses: as makers of art\, social commentators\, women in a world dominated by male values\, and in solitude or collaboration with communities and the larger artistic arena. Each story offers insight into the artist’s life and work and analyses the impact it had on Randall’s own work and its impact on the larger art community. The work strives to answer bigger questions about visual art as a whole and its lasting political influence on the world stage. \nAmong those playing major roles in the 1979 Nicaraguan revolution were many of the nation’s leading poets and writers. First published in 1983\, Risking a Somersault in the Air is a collection of interviews with fourteen of Nicaragua’s most important writers/revolutionaries. Filling in the gaps with new photographs and updates on the writers in the time since the original edition\, the book looks at the sacrifices\, conflicts\, and solutions of the creative artists of Nicaragua’s revolution. \nAbout Margaret Randall \nMargaret Randall is a feminist poet\, essayist\, translator\, photographer\, and social activist. A New York native\, she lived among the city’s abstract expressionists in the 1950s\, Mexico in the ‘60s\, Cuba in the ‘70s\, and Nicaragua in the ‘80s. She returned to the US in 1984 only to fight deportation due to the controversial content of her books. She is the founder and former editor of the bilingual literary journal El Corno Emplumado / The Plumed Horn\, which started an iconic bridge between cultures in the 1960s. She has more than 150 published books in several genres. \n  URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/margaret-randallreading-and-book-signing/ LOCATION:Howl!

I wanna be chill but there’s a fidgety ingrown hair that calls me to act out. I gotta pick it. It’s the polite thing to do.”\n\nJoin John Pizza for his newest Full Moon show called John Pimplepopper\, a poetic personification of the impacted side of the soul\, and our nagging desire to squeeze it out.\n\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. \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nPerformance 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.

Happening through May 29\, and also celebrating the recent publication of Rupp’s monograph\, Noisy Autumn\, published by Insight Editions. The book’s title pays homage to Rachael Carson’s groundbreaking book Silent Spring upon its 60th anniversary. Six decades after the publication of Silent Spring\, chemical companies still maintain a website venting their anger at the journalist who would point out that 90% of all insects are beneficial. Special guest Bob Holman will join Rupp and McCormick\, reading new poems inspired by the events in Ukraine and Buffalo\, New York. \nIn the exhibition Othered\, Rupp investigates topics including resource extraction and water pollution through the lens of Discard Studies\, a discipline that examines the wider role of society and culture\, social norms\, and power on the waste stream. Embodying irony and resilience\, her sculpture of fish\, mammals\, and micro-organisms made from single use plastic and bits of industrial debris expresses the voices of invisible microbes and species caught in the crosshairs. Rupp has long explored how we form our opinions of nature and the role of art in helping us understand climate chaos. \n Using wall-scale collage\, “she juxtaposes scenes of nature and industrial development with biological specimens and nature-based patterns that are stylized\, tamed and made decorative for human consumption\,” says art critic Eleanor Heartney in a recent catalog. \n\nAbout Christy Rupp \nChristy Rupp is an American eco-artist and citizen scientist. Born in the Rust Belt of Upstate New York\, she was too young for Elvis and too old for Barbie. For the past five decades\, Rupp has continued the search for clues that might explain how we have arrived at the edge of the Extractocene\, a world permanently altered by the presence of Homo sapiens. \nRupp was part of the artist collective Collaborative Projects (Colab)—organizer of the historic Times Square Show—as well as ABC No Rio and other East Village-era artist groups. \nShe has received grants from Anonymous was a Woman Foundation\, Joan Mitchell Foundation CALL Award\, National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts\, and Art Matters Inc. Her work has been recently shown at the Schunck Museum in Heerlen\, Netherlands; Museum of Arts and Design\, New York; Zimmerli Art Museum; and ABC No Rio in Exile.She has just launched a career survey\, Noisy Autumn: Sculpture and Works on Paper\, published by Insight Editions. \nAbout Carlo McCormick \nCarlo McCormick is an American culture critic and curator living in New York City.

Happening is pleased to present an evening celebrating the release of Alan Moore’s Art Worker: Doing Time in the NY Artworld\, a memoir that casts a raking light on a classic period in cultural history—the 70s and 80s in downtown Manhattan. Confirmed participants in the panel discussion: Marc H. Miller\, Yasmin Ramirez\, Leonard Abrams\, Alan W. Moore\, Stephen Zacks. Published this year by Journal of Aesthetics & Protest Press\, books will be on sale at the event. \nThe New York City artworld of the late 20th century seems far more fluid and changeable\, with many more positions for its different actors to inhabit than the artworld of today. The market rules in all spheres of image-making\, enforced by super-high valuations of traditional artwork\, and global social media and streaming platforms. \nFrom art critic and video artist to radical organizer and academic\, Moore played multiple roles in a seething scene of art galleries\, nightclubs\, and small publications. Written in an accessible style\, Art Worker is in three parts\, with characters\, anecdotes\, footnotes\, and an extensive bibliography. It’s a book by a scholar written for a general audience. \nAbout the Participants \nAlan W. Moore worked as a critic\, artist\, and organizer in NYC for 30 years. He worked with the artists’ group Colab\, and co-directed ABC No Rio and the MWF Video Club. He took a PhD in Art History from CUNY in 2000\, and published Art Gangs in 2011. He has recently studied squatting in Europe; he published the zine House Magic (2009-16)\, co-edited Making Room: Cultural Production in Occupied Spaces and wrote Occupation Culture (both 2015). He lives in Madrid\, and blogs at “Occupations & Properties” and “Art Gangs”. His book Art Worker launches this month. \nMarc H Miller arrived in New York from California in 1968 and lived at 98 Bowery\, NYC from 1969 to 1989 with extended stays in Washington DC and Amsterdam\, Holland.  Miller is an artist\, curator\, writer\, publisher\, and educator.  His multi-faceted career is unified by an interest in pictorial images and their inherent ability to tell stories. He holds a Ph.D. in art history from New York University’s Institute of Fine Arts (1979). He runs the website 98bowery.com. \nYasmin Ramirez is an art worker\, curator\, and writer. She holds a Ph.D. in Art History from the Graduate Center\, CUNY.  Born in Brooklyn\, Ramirez was active in the downtown art scene of the early 1980s as a club kid and art critic for the East Village Eye. She has curated exhibitions on the Young Lords\, Martin Wong\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, and the Nuyorican art movement\, and collaborated on curatorial projects with the Bronx Museum\, El Museo Del Barrio\, the Loisaida Center\, the New Museum\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, Franklin Furnace\, and Taller Boricua. \nLeonard Abrams is a writer\, editor\, and filmmaker. He was editor and publisher of the East Village Eye monthly newsmagazine\, in circulation from May 1979 until January 1987. From 1987-89 he co-produced the underground clubs Milky Way and Hotel Amazon\, venues that mixed early hip hop with reggae\, funk\, soul and house music. In 2007 he made the documentary film “Quilombo Country\,” about contemporary Brazilian communities founded by escaped slaves. He presented the East Village Eye Show at Howl Happening in 2016.  \nStephen Zacks is an advocacy journalist\, architecture writer\, urbanist\, and project organizer based in New York City.
