SUMMARY:Joseph Keckler Dragon at the Edge of a Flat World: Portraits and Revelations
DESCRIPTION:Reading and Book Signing\nJoseph Keckler is a magician\, a vagabond of the outer boroughs with an eye for the unorthodox\, irregular\, anomalous\, and uncanny. By turns mordant and melancholy\, decadent and delirious\, these are stories to cherish\, as brilliant and charming as the writer himself. —Olivia Laing \nHowl! Happening is pleased to celebrate the publication of Joseph Keckler’s first book\, Dragon at the Edge of a Flat World\, with a reading and book signing. Reality\, embellishment\, and fantasy intermingle in 20 mesmerizing tales by the acclaimed performing artist. Published by Turtle Point Press. \nRanging between different periods of his life and written over the course of a decade\, these episodes confirm Keckler’s storytelling mastery. As we are led through corners of downtown New York and the Midwest\, we are introduced to his mentors and muses\, odd jobs and odder employers. What is it like to work for a blind man who runs an art gallery? Or for an aging club kid who administers a university classics department? Outré characters turn art into a religion and make a spectacle of daily life. Some strive to be center stage and others struggle to be seen\, but all soldier on in the margins. In this world\, you may board a familiar bus or train and find yourself in some shady netherworld\, or skipping past midnight on New Year’s Eve. There is sex with ghosts. And the incessant GPS voice that mocks the last moments of a longtime love. \nJoseph Keckler is a captivating raconteur\, with a delicious ability to transform scenes of dread into comedic triumph. His deadpan delivery contrasts brilliantly with his virtuoso appetite for moody glissandi and hectic staccati.  I marvel at the social incongruities—the faux pas\, the accidental couplings\, the identity slippages—that he narratively dishes out as if they were artisanal pizzas\, seasoned with a hilarity and drama that add up to box office boffo. \n—Wayne Koestenbaum \nAbout Joseph Keckler

SUMMARY:International Butoh: Panel Discussion and Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Cristina Elias\, Tetsuro Fukuhara and Vangeline\nHowl! Happening and New York Butoh Institute are pleased to present a symposium and panel discussion focused on International Butoh in the 21st century\, in conjunction with a series of live performances with Butoh Master Tetsuro Fukuhara (Tokyo\, Japan) and Vangeline. Sign language interpretation will be provided for this event. \nOver the past 60 years\, Butoh has become a universal and international movement language. Developed in post-World War II Japan\, the minimalist avant-garde dance form has grown\, evolved\, and traveled worldwide. Butoh is taught and performed across the United States; in Europe\, Africa\, and Latin America. While the form has its roots in Japan\, there are Butoh artists of all cultures\, backgrounds\, and ethnicities\, continuing its legacy into the 21st century. \nIn International Butoh: Collaboration and Symposium\, Butoh master artists Tetsuro Fukuhara and Vangeline will dive into the past\, present\, and future of Butoh as a permeable and boundary-blending art form that reaches across geographic and cultural divides. \nThe performances with Fukuhara and Vangeline Theater/New York Butoh Institute premiere November 17–19\, 2017 at Triskelion Arts in Brooklyn. For more information on the symposium and performances visit Vangeline Theater. \nAbout the Artists \n Tetsuro Fukuhara\, president of Tokyo Space Dance\, is a second – generation movement artist of “Improvisation Butoh.” Tetsuro studied under Akira Kasai\, and Butoh founders Kazuo Ohno and Tatsumi Hijikata. At 68\, Tetsuro represents the oldest generation of Japanese Butoh. His style of “New Butoh Space Dance” is a way to socialize Butoh for the general public\, bringing together elements of dance\, architecture\, information\, and design. \n Vangeline is an internationally acclaimed French-born\, New York City-based Butoh choreographer and is regarded widely as an expert in her field in the United States. She is the founder of the New York Butoh Institute and artistic director of the Vangeline Theater\, an all-female dance company firmly rooted in the tradition of Japanese Butoh while carrying it into the 21st century. Vangeline’s socially conscious performances tie together Butoh and activism. Her performances have dealt with subjects as varied as feminism\, climate change\, war\, and perceptions of gender. \nTetsuro Fukuhara and Vangeline represent the second and third generations of Butoh\, a physical symbol of evolution—teacher to student\, man to woman\, past to future. For this collaboration\, the artists will work together to share their artmaking practices to create new work. \nAdditional Panelist:\nFrom Brazil\, Cristina Elias\, Artist\, choreographer \nCristina Elias’s work sets its focus on building bridges between different artistic codes. In 2013\, she was awarded the Prize “FUNARTE – Women in Visual Arts” (Ministry of Cultural\, Brazil) and\, in 2016\, the prize “Paço das Artes – Temporada de Projetos 2017” (Paço das Artes Museum\, São Paulo\, Brazil). Her work has already been exhibited at the Museum of Image and Sound (MIS) São Paulo\, the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) São Paulo\, the MAXXI (Rome\, Italy)\, Radialsystem Berlin (Germany)\, Festival VERBO (Galeria Vermelho\, São Paulo\, Brazil) among others. She concluded a Masters in Movement Studies at the Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (University of London\, UK) and is currently doing her PhD at the Program of Post-graduation in Design of the University Anhembi Morumbi (São Paulo\, Brazil).

SUMMARY:Merrill Aldighieri V.J. Diaries
DESCRIPTION:World Premiere Screening \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present the premiere of Merrill Aldighieri’s new film\, “V.J. Diaries”\, tracing the birth of the video jockey or “VJ.” The film is the story of Aldighieri and her pioneering work creating an improvised live video feed to interpret the DJ’s music at the legendary club Hurrah—a hotbed of creativity. “V.J. Diaries” looks at her role amplifying the connection between music and imagery in nightclubs. Her historic filming of the live performances of punk\, new wave\, jazz and industrial music form a diary marking her time at this seminal club. Guest DJ Bill Bahlman\, who worked alongside Aldighieri at Hurrah\, provides his inimitable ambiance to this HOWL! Happening. \nMore than 200 hours of live music performances were recorded by Aldighieri during a year at Hurrah (1980-1981). Excerpts from 30 different live shows include legendary bands like New Order\, Mission of Burma\, Magazine\, Gang of Four\, The Psychedelic Furs\, A Certain Ratio\, and Bush Tetras\, as well as interviews with Cynthia Sley\, Jim Fouratt\, Anita Sarko\, Dee Pop\, Ron Jagger\, Bill Laswell\, Jim Jarmusch\, Stephanie Kaye\, Alan Vega\, George Wrage and many more\, blended with rare archival footage and visually daring animation inspired by her nightly VJ improvisations. Projections of her scratch-animated loops will add to the atmosphere of the evening. \n“V.J. Diaries” brings to life the classic music performance archive Aldighieri created. Fans of the period will discover the music has not lost its freshness and fire. Mentored by nightclub impresario Jim Fouratt\, the rock critic/booking agent Ruth Polsky discovered and brought to the stage emerging talent featured in this film. That timeless sense of discovery is what “V.J. Diaries” is all about. This is a one-time screening so don’t miss it! \nWatch the trailer here!

SUMMARY:Tessie Chua The Shame of Disco
DESCRIPTION:Performance and Video Screening\nfeaturing Animal X\nComedienne and performance luminary Tessie Chua brings her hilarious take on living in the East Village during the late 70s—its grungiest heyday\, when sharing your apartment with cockroaches was the norm—in this commentary on culture and the times. There’s mohawks\, blazing colored hair\, leather and bondage clothes\, and Roxy\, a very opinionated cockroach with gourmet tastes. No bodega! Yes\, Dean & Deluca! Roxy’s been through the Roach Potential Movement and learned meditation at the Dalai Lama’s knee. As part of the post-punk community\, Tessie and Roxy both vocalized the movement’s collective hatred for disco. \n“I really wasn’t sure why everyone hated disco. Roxy and I liked PIL\, but we also liked disco. I’d be mortified when my friend Animal X or two-thirds of Mission of Burma would go through my record collection and see that it contained Donna Summer\, and worse yet\, Patrick Juvet\,” says Chua. The New Wave Vaudeville Show\, meth and heroin addicts\, Keith Haring\, Club 57\, CBGB and Danceteria\, loser bands\, Manic Panic\, and John Sex’s apartment all are observed through Roxy’s jaundiced and satiric eye. \nThe evening will also feature\, Android X\, a performance by Animal X\, the Ultra Punk fashion designer from the 70’s and 80’s in the East Village.  Her Shows were known for her wild fashion shows that included punk  celebrities\, porn stars and other surprises. The performance will feature a film by Marty Abrahams and animation by Marjan Moghadon \nAlso on view is the short video The Scary Truth About Cockroaches and Landlords which is included in Club 57: Film\, Performance\, and Art in the East Village\, 1978–1983 at the Museum of Modern Art. \nAbout Tessie Chua \nBorn and raised in San Francisco\, California\, home to beatniks and hippies\, she studied art at San Francisco State University and the San Francisco Art Institute. A teenager during the Summer of Love\, she remarks: “People walked down the street happily greeting each other\, ‘Have a nice day!’ I moved to New York in 1974\, people answered back\, ‘Fuck You!’” In New York\, she performed with the New Wave Vaudeville Show that put her smack in the middle of the post-punk Community. The show was an opportunity to write her first comedy sketch—In the Name of God—casting herself as a sadistic nun who accidently beats a schoolgirl to death for taking the name of God in vain one too many times. More opportunities followed at Club 57\, Mudd Club and other downtown clubs. \nIn 2015\, she started working on an ongoing solo performance about her life in the East Village\, spurred in part by meeting young comics who said\, “That must have been a romantic era to have lived through.”  “Romantic? I would call it gritty\,” she says. \nAbout Android X \nAnimal X explores the possibilities of a future when we will be ghosts in the machine\, our minds downloaded into robots. Featuring a film of her work by Martin Abrams and inspired by her participation in the Club 57 exhibit at the MoMA\, and Drawing on her early career\, this multimedia performance combines video\, puppetry and costume. Animal X is an award-winning performance and multidisciplinary artist whose work spans four decades\, including nightclub appearances\, Art Gallery installations\,  theater Productions\, NEA fellowship\, appearing at wild and crazy music festivals\, as well touring the country with her theatrical company “I Believe in Fairies Productions”.

SUMMARY:The People's Moon with Salley May and Tony Stinkmetal
DESCRIPTION:A Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention\nEvery Month on the Full Moon\nAt 4pm sharp\nOn the sidewalk outside Howl! a crowd gathers. It’s 4 o’clock Saturday. \nTime to tune into your favorite afternoon dance show: So You Think You Can House UnAmerican Activities Committee? \n This week’s contestants are Julius and Ethel Rosenberg of New York City! [Hold for applause] They will be risking it all before dance judges J. Edgar Hoover and Roy Cohn. The People’s Moon will include performances from students of not-yet-blacklisted Professor Christen “CD” Clifford at The New School for Social Research. \nLike all Full Moon Shows from now until eternity\, the People’s Moon will be broadcast live on The Howl! Channel. Brought to you by the Soylent Green Tea Company every single Full Moon without exception at around 4 PM unless otherwise noted—rain or shine\, happy or sad\, up or down—on the sidewalk outside the gallery\, in the all-comers and anything goes atmosphere of the street for 30 minutes more or less. It’s live\, it’s WILD\, but if you can’t make\, we’re just sayin’…TUNE IN\, TURN ON\, DROP BY. \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:Rick Berlin Songs with Subtitles
DESCRIPTION:Cabaret Performance and Reading\nHowl! Happening is thrilled to present a true original—Rick Berlin—reading and playing from his first book\, The Paragraphs\, published by Cutlass Press. Created from fragments used to write songs\, this memoir recalls a musical life told in bursts of wild inspiration. \n“A memoir? I guess that’s the right word\,” says Berlin. “It’s a nod to my family in some way\, but that wasn’t intentional. I’ve been writing stuff for a long\, long time. Now I guess people who think I’m weird will understand why.” \nRick Berlin\, the queer Boston music legend—former frontman of Orchestra Luna\, Berlin Airlift\, Rick Berlin: The Movie\, and The Shelley Winters Project\, and current helm of The Nickel & Dime Band—is known for his zany lyrics and unflinching wit. An integral part of the original CBGBs scene of the 70s and 80s\, Berlin will read paragraphs from his book and play related songs accompanied by solo piano. Each song references one of the paragraphs in the book. “The result can be hilarious\, disturbing\, blunt\, and particularly unflattering to myself. But it’s always honest.” \nRick Berlin is a giant on the Boston music scene. His colorful songwriting and strong stage presence have influenced countless other artists since the early 70s\, when his innovative band Orchestra Luna harnessed a potent blend of theater and music\, years before The Tubes. Throughout the decades and shifting fortunes of the business\, Rick has continued to make music with intelligence and integrity\, building an international reputation around his knotty\, singular piano playing\, straight from the heart singing\, and a style of character-based songwriting that’s drawn favorable comparisons to the likes of Tom Waits and Leonard Cohen…. —The Boston Phoenix

SUMMARY:Queer Butoh 2017
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening in association with The New York Butoh Institute and Vangeline Theater presents Queer Butoh 2017\, a free three-hour evening of site-specific Butoh performances with three LGBT/Q Butoh artists from San Francisco\, Chicago and New York: Angela Newsham\, Holly Chernobyl\, and Will Atkins. The event will take place on Thursday\, October 19\, 2017 at Howl! Happening\, 6 E. First Street\, NYC. For more information\, visit www.vangeline.com. \nFree Admission \nThe artists will dance throughout the evening yet maintain a fluid space of interaction with the audience. The unique minimalist soundscape featured includes recordings of the artists in candid conversations about the role\, which butoh has played in their lives. The installation will take place against the unique background of sculptures by Japanese artist Mazao Gozu. \n“Butoh is essentially the dance of the marginalized\, and the LGBTQ population is still largely marginalized in the world\,” says Vangeline France\, curator of this series. “Most of these artists feel that they found a place of freedom and acceptance through Butoh and it was important to give them a voice to express this.” \nIn Butoh\, the desire to play with notions of both “masculine” and “feminine” has been expressed in performance methodology by both male and female artists. The five contemporary artists will create new work and speak about how they integrate Butoh into their art and lives. \nAt its origin\, the introduction of Butoh in Japan was widely controversial. The first Butoh performance\, Kinjiki (Forbidden Colors) created by Tatsumi Hijikata in 1958\, shocked its spectators. Inspired by the work of homosexual author Jean Genet\, Kinjiki took its name and inspiration from Yukio Mishima’s book Forbidden Color and dealt with homosexuality\, a profoundly taboo subject at the time. \nHolly Chernobyl has been a working artist for over a decade–her work spanning poetry\, storytelling\, bunraku puppetry\, physical theater\, and performance art. She has presented work in many Chicago spaces\, including the Japanese Cultural Center. Her work has also been performed in Seattle\, Brooklyn\, Finland\, Germany\, the UK\, and shown in Boston\, Quebec and Brazil. She continues to create solo pieces and collaborate with a talented array of international artists\, through her dance theater company\, NIGHTPARADE. Recently\, she was awarded a grant through the Finlandia Foundation\, and a 2 month residency in Berlin-based Altes Finanzamt Atelier. \nBorn and raised on the island of Oahu\, Angela Newsham developed a deep connection with nature. As a non-verbal learner she pays close attention to movement and creates art as a way to express her inquiries and connect with others. She is inspired by her work as a raptor rehabilitator in Oregon nurturing injured and orphaned birds of prey. She has trained extensively in Body Mind Centering with Bonnie Bainbridge Cohen and Sonja Riket\, and in Butoh with Vangeline Theater in New York and San Francisco\, Diego Pinon as well as Natsu Nakajima and Atsushi Takenouchi. She incorporates her voice in her work influenced by the Hawaiian chanting she grew up with and the traditional training in classical\, Middle Eastern and Balkan techniques. \nWill Atkins – A graduate of Hofstra University’s B.F.A of Performing Arts\, Will’s body of work is heavily influenced by his study in movement art forms\, especially Butoh. While at school\, Will received High Honors for his senior thesis exploring the paradoxical and transformation elements in Butoh. He studies regularly with the New York Butoh Institute and has produced and assisted on several Vangeline Theater projects. Will has performed in movement based shows around the city\, creating solo works and masks for WalkUpArts’ productions\, collaborating with local costume artists\, and more recently performed in Esperanza Spalding’s Virgin Writes earlier this year. \nThe Vangeline Theater has been a leader in the development of contemporary Butoh dance since its founding in 2002. Informed by the expansive vision of pioneering choreographer Vangeline\, the Vangeline Theater brings to life a timeless and uniquely American style of Butoh that continues to captivate audiences. The Vangeline Theater is home to the New York Butoh Institute\, providing superior Butoh training to our community. The New York Butoh Institute is dedicated to the advancement of Butoh in the 21st century\, with a special emphasis on scientific research as it relates to Butoh. www.vangeline.com

SUMMARY:Masao Gozu Time Frame
DESCRIPTION:Opening Party: Friday\, October 13th\, 6pm\nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present Time Frame\, a selection of sculptures and photographs by artist Masao Gozu. Born in Japan in 1946\, Gozu moved to New York in 1970 to attend the Brooklyn Museum Art School\, where he began an artistic practice of structuring a body of work over time that literally “frames” the people and architecture of downtown New York. \nFrom 1971–1990\, Gozu single-mindedly photographed New York City residents in their tenement apartment windows. An unsung gem of urban documentary\, the Windows series is evocative of the work of Robert Frank\, Berenice Abbott\, and Garry Winogrand in its penetrating look at a segment of American culture\, specifically portraits of the denizens of the Lower East Side. \nActively soliciting attention or simply captured musing in the frame\, his subjects are the focus of his humanist exploration. The architecture of the building facades gives these portraits a carefully considered perspective and compositional harmony. As Gozu says\, “For me the window is a mirror\, a mirror in which I see myself through time.” \nSo interested has Gozu been in the material and spatial qualities of these windows\, that he went on to produce large scale sculptural representations of them—many on view at the gallery. An evolving aspect of the same aesthetic as the Windows series\, he has taken the idea one step further\, making full-size windows themselves the subject of a series. These monumental sculptures are created from the brick facades and window frames of demolished buildings. Bringing the city’s vanishing neighborhoods into the gallery\, this scavenged and reconstituted detritus spotlights the site-specific nature of his work. \nSerial imagery\, time\, and spatial exploration are at the core of Gozu’s aesthetic—a common link in his commentary on life in the city. His Harry’s Bar photographs are like a time lapse “moving picture\,” tracing the fluorescence and decay of one specific neighborhood landmark. Through serial images of the front window\, we watch the passage of time—plants appear and then die; barflies come and go; an improvised attempt to change Harry’s to Harold’s signals a change in ownership; and a “Going Out of Business” sign\, the bar’s demise\, is the final visual echo\, concluding the story of one place that stands in for the loss and gentrification of the city. \nAbout Masao Gozu \nMasao Gozu was born in Nagano\, Japan in 1946. He graduated from the Tokyo Fine Arts School in 1970. In 1971\, he was awarded the Max Beckmann scholarship to the Brooklyn Museum Art School\, where he studied from 1971–1973. In 1990\, he won the special Jury Prize at Le Mois de Photo in Paris.                                                                         Masao Gozu’s work has been displayed internationally from New York to Paris and Japan\, including shows at the legendary SoHo gallery OK Harris. His work is included in the collections of the New Orleans Museum of Art; the Margulies Collection\, and Lowe Art Museum\, in Miami; the Musée National d’Art Moderne in the Centre Pompidou\, Paris; and the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography. He lives in the East Village\, New York City. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Love Among the Ruins Closing Party featuring performances by John Kelly and Joseph Keckler
DESCRIPTION:Some Serious Business and Howl! Happening are pleased to celebrate Love Among the Ruins with a culminating performance by two masterful performers: John Kelly and Joseph Keckler. Kelly performs excerpts from Time No Line\, a solo performance work presented as a live memoir. Keckler will perform three of his original arias and songs\, invoking themes of place\, loss\, self\, and lineage. \n  \nKelly’s Time No Line focuses on how we can identify collective histories through the experience of an individual. This new solo performance work integrates movement\, song\, live drawing\, and interactions with projected texts and images as the components of a live dramatic autobiographical narrative. The work utilizes themes and details of John Kelly’s personal history as a survivor of a generation of artists that emerged out of the East Village performance scene of the 1980s and was subsequently decimated by the AIDS pandemic. One of the goals of this work is to focus on and contribute to a rift in the larger cultural and social continuity\, and encourage dialogue. \n  \nKeckler’s performances have been described by The New York Times as shattering “the conventional boundaries of classical singing [with] the sensibility of a magician\, a trickster’s dark humor\, and a formidable musical and literary erudition. Major vocal talent.” The Huffington Post commented: “Riveting and beautifully absurd\, Keckler singlehandedly has the power and chops to legitimately modernize a dying art form.” \n  \nAbout John Kelly \nJohn Kelly is a performance and visual artist. He has created over 30 group and solo theatrical performance works including Pass The Blutwurst\, Bitte; Find My Way Home; and Paved Paradise: The Art of Joni Mitchell.

SUMMARY:Mayhem Moon with the Mayhem Sisters Salley May and Nancy May Perry
DESCRIPTION:A Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention\nEvery Month on the Full Moon\nAt 4pm sharp\nYou know that dream? The one where you’re on a prison planet and the inmates only know one joke. The one where an ICE agent\, a doctor\, and a scary clown walk into a bar and the bartender says\, “Why the long shadow?” Then come the birds. They’re crashing against the windows. You open the window to let them out. They fly free. You try to follow them\, but the bars are too close together. And you’re locked out. \nThe Mayhem Moon will punch that dream in the face. Insiders will be exiled\, inmates will take office\, jesters will ascend to the throne. From the luminous minds of the MAYHEM sisters\, Salley May and Nancy May Perry\, comes this skeleton key to the locks that keep you in and out\, featuring performances by Annie Lanzillotto\, Aru Hangar\, Simba Yangala\, Ninafrika Kameroruskova\, Victoria Kernmayer\, Tony Stinkmetal and Salley May. \nor a Harvest Moon of Mayhem and Madness! \nSuggested attire: Horizontal Prison Stripes\, Fall 2017 Hospital Runway Gowns\, Alien 3 Jumpsuit Realness\, Tippi Hedren Bird-hats\, Giant Jangling Key Rings\, Hobo Bindles\, Auditory Hallucinations\, Westwood Straitjackets\, Lagerfeld Guard Uniforms\, Carrier Pigeons. \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:John Tytell Beat Transnationalism
DESCRIPTION:Publication Party\nHowl! presents an evening with author John Tytell\, who examines the importance of Mexico to the Beat Generation in his new book\, Beat Transnationalism. Allen Ginsberg once told him that he would not understand the Beat Generation without first experiencing life in Mexico. Heeding this advice\, Tytell headed south to Oaxaca while writing Naked Angels\, the first book to explore the development of Beat literature. \nIn Beat Transnationalism\, the author takes a close look at the connection between Mexico and the Beats\, while recounting—via letters from that period to his wife Mellon—his own experiences in Oaxaca. The primary focus is the importance of Mexico to the three best-known Beat figures: Allen Ginsberg\, William S. Burroughs\, and Jack Kerouac. Yet this book delves further\, aiming to explore transnationalism among other members of the Beat Generation\, and also artists of the post-Beat era. As such\, it also includes essays on Bonnie Bremser\, Lawrence Ferlinghetti\, James Laughlin\, and Patti Smith\, among others. Published by Beatdom Books. \nAbout John Tytell\nJohn Tytell is best known as the author of Naked Angels: The Lives and Literature of the Beat Generation; Ezra Pound: The Solitary Volcano\, and seven other works of non-fiction. His essays and reviews have appeared in numerous publications\, including Vanity Fair\, Partisan Review\, Fame\, The American Scholar\, The Antioch Review\, Artforum\, The Chronicle of Higher Education\, The New York Times\, and the Los Angeles Review of Books. He is a founding editor of American Book Review\, and has taught modern American literature at Queens College\, CUNY since 1963. He lives with his wife Mellon\, a photographer\, in New York City and Vermont.

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.

SUMMARY:A.J. Lees Mentored by a Madman: The William Burroughs Experiment
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch Featuring A.J. Lees and Ira Silverberg\nHowl! Happening in collaboration with New York Review Books and Notting Hill Editions is pleased to present an evening celebrating the U.S. publication of Mentored by a Madman: The William Burroughs Experiment by internationally distinguished neurologist A.J. 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: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.

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.
