Hubert Selby\, Jr. babysitting\, Jim Rosenquist scavenging\, Henry Geldzahler resisting a blackmail attempt\, and Martin Duberman using his scholarship at Black Mountain College for a personal mission are all part of this story. \nThis gossipy and unsparingly personal account of the evolution of recent American culture—within both the art and literary worlds—details realities of a bohemian life that rarely surface in reportage or academic treatments. \nThis wide-ranging memoir touches upon Black Mountain College in its final days\, life on the Lower East Side staggered by anti-war fever\, and a seedy neighborhood in Brooklyn becoming Park Slope. Pre-fame Allen Ginsberg\, John Chamberlain\, Frank O’Hara\, and LeRoi Jones are brought to light\, as well as others still remaining largely outside the historical record—John Wieners\, Bob Thompson\, Lucia Berlin…. In western Michigan\, mainstream Manhattan book publishing\, Dumbo before luxury housing\, and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center when AIDS was called GRID (gay-related immune deficiency)\, the author and her husband painter Basil King persist in their shared belief in the power of art. \nBorn Martha Winston Davis in 1937 in Charlottesville\, Virginia\, Martha King\, attended Black Mountain College for three months as a teenager\, marrying the painter and poet Basil King in 1958. They have two daughters and four grandchildren. Before retiring in 2011\, Martha worked as an editor and science writer.

Happening is pleased to present a panel discussion on Tony Whitfield’s exhibition: Ruminations: Notes on New Love. Writers\, critics\, and art historians who contributed to the catalog look at Whitfield’s particular narratives and the metaphors that run through the varied art practices he has explored. In a variety of serial works\, Whitfield embraces queer identity as mutable lifelong experience\, manifested in learned strategies for living\, fluid expressions of desire and infatuation in the context of external responses and constraints. This panel brings these writers together with Whitfield to discuss provocative aspects of his work they did not explore in their essays. \n “Each man Whitfield interviews explains his own stumbling first steps towards queer love and queer identity\, and in outline they are almost always the same. They are unsupported\, untaught\, denied role models\, and punished for their desires\,” says Hugh Ryan in his essay about the narratives embedded in video works at the center of the exhibition. Grounded in theses experiences of queer love and identity\, this panel will explore with Whitfield how he seeks to manifest their collateral complexities in a wide range of contexts and media ranging from video\, performance\, artist books\, installations\, curating\, writing\, furniture design\, and teaching.

Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present a major new body of work by artist Tony Whitfield. At the center of this exhibition is Notes on New Love\, a video work exploring ways in which queer males recognize and embrace the otherness of their desires. Drawing from a series of interviews\, Whitfield sees this work as a meditation on how queer desire blossoms\, thrives\, and survives categorization as sexual misconduct. Conducted in the process of developing New Love\, 1910: World Out of Kilter is a theater piece that premiered this spring at La MaMa E.T.C. Notes on New Love is a collaborative project with Whitfield CoLabs’ composer and video editor Andrew Alden\, and Alden’s Detroit-based venture Obscura Broadcasting Company. \nIn this exhibition\, Whitfield contextualizes the series of short videos in Notes on New Love by counterbalancing them with a group of two-dimensional works in several parts that lay bare the artist’s competing preoccupations. These pieces serve as transformative exercises\, exploring components of Whitfield’s experience as an evolving figure in a turbulent queer landscape. Each work consists of a series of rethinkings\, minings\, broodings\, or mutterings that articulate various aspects of a life lived in awkward relationship to other humans. Grounded in the specifics of his biography as a black\, queer\, mature male who has navigated through decades of challenging circumstances\, Whitfield has gathered these works together as what he calls “a meditation on endurance.” \nIn Lessons Learned\, each grid of brightly colored text written by Whitfield is a (self) portrait constructed from a catalog of the artist’s dated recognitions that have influenced his behavior. Each grid was selected from that catalog by men in Whitfield’s life. The resulting works are joint self-portraits of Whitfield and his collaborators\, chosen for the ways in which the facts of life they state have influenced the artist’s behavior\, and for their resonance as shared truths. \nHe Lives Everyday is Whitfield’s reverie on states of mind that “cloak [his] daily passage through the world.” Various Infatuations pays homage to men who have captured Whitfield’s romantic imagination over 50 years\, from puberty into middle age.  inquiries\, statements\, listing\, which began as a meditation on violence against queer people\, is a document consisting of remnants from Whitfield’s June 2016 window installation at Printed Matter. \nWhitfield says of the exhibition: “I have never been a skillful reporter; I can’t get far enough away from the specifics of what I know\, what I see\, what I think I can trust. While I believe there are facts\, my understanding of those facts is often fleeting. This show is about the view of the world I can hold on to— in all of its queerness. I have learned to find comfort in that queerness.” \n  \nAbout Tony Whitfield \nTony Whitfield is a multimedia artist\, designer\, and educator whose theater work has been shown by LaMaMa E.T.C. His art and photographic works have been shown in solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums including the Museum of Arts and Design in Manhattan; the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art; The Pop-Up Museum of Queer History; the Instituto Cultural Peruano Norteamericano in Lima\, Peru; and Le Centre LGBT Paris Île-de-France.

Happening is pleased to present a special three-day exhibition spotlighting the contributions of the legendary Village Voice photographer and picture editor Fred McDarrah. Over the years he hired\, trained\, worked with\, and learned from more than 75 photographers that went out on assignment for the Voice. With the recent demise of the Voice\, the exhibition becomes not only a tribute to McDarrah\, but an historic record of the paper’s place in the cultural life of New York. This show reflects some of these photographers’ best work\, not only for the Voice but throughout their careers. \nFeaturing work by more than 40 photographers including: \nHilton Als\, Amy Arbus\, Marc Asnin\, Bill Bernstein\, Carrie Boretz\, Martha Cooper\, Lenore Davis\, Michel Delsol\, Pamela Duffy\, Janie Eisenberg\, Deborah Feingold\, Susan Ferguson\, Andy Freeberg\, Lori Grinker\, Carol Halebian\, James Hamilton\, Meg Handler\, CM Hardt\, Caroline Howard\, Steve Kagan\, Jennifer Kotter\, Pete Kuhns\, Kristine Larsen\, David Lee\, Laura Levine\, Darren Lew\, Andrew Lichtenstein\, Catherine McGann\, Tom McGovern\, Greg Miller\, Danuta Otfinowski\, Sandra-Lee Phipps\, Sylvia Plachy\, Nick Malter\, Adam Mastoon\, Keri Pickett\, Linda Rosier\, Allen Reuben\, Stephen Douglas Rubin\, Richard Sandler\, Nevin Shalit\, Coreen Simpson\, Doug Vann\, Harvey Wang and CT Wemple. \n\nThe nation’s first alternative newsweekly\, the Village Voice was the paper of record for post-war counterculture. Published from 1955 until August 31\, 2018\, it covered the nascent women’s rights\, gay rights\, and civil rights marches; anti-Vietnam War protests; the first Earth Day; experimental theater; lefty and splinter political rallies and demonstrations; and a generation of hugely influential—mainly downtown—writers\, artists\, musicians\, dancers\, actors\, and thinkers who were largely ignored or misunderstood by contemporary mass media. \nThe paper spawned a slew of great writers\, but as McDarrah often said—loudly—to Voice editors and art directors\, “people pick up the paper mainly to look at the photos.” HIS photos. For decades he was the only staff photographer and the paper’s first picture editor. \nWhile a prolific photographer himself of the cultural\, social\, and political scene\, over time McDarrah surrounded himself with a platoon of talent\, many of whom started as interns. Informally called the McPhoto Intern Program\, it was revolutionary for its time. Not only did he guarantee at least one published photo per week per intern: he paid them the going rate for the image—unheard of at the time. He hired and paid women at the same rate as men and was an equal opportunity employer drawing new talent from minority communities. \nBut McDarrah was always most proud of the younger generation of photographers he cultivated. He’d surely say the success of his beloved Voice photo colleagues—and this exhibition—was one of his grandest achievements. \nFred made us better photographers\, toughened us for the rigors and competition of editorial and photojournalism\, and provided us with opportunities no other publication did. — Tom McGovern from his essay\, “Where’s the Picture?” \nAbout Fred W. McDarrah (1926-2007) \nBorn in Brooklyn\, McDarrah bought his first camera at the 1939 New York World’s Fair. After leaving Boys High School\, he served as a U.S. Army paratrooper in Occupied Japan at the end of World War II\, camera usually in hand. He earned a journalism degree from New York University on the GI Bill. \nHe then began to photograph the artists\, writers\, musicians\, and bohemian types who frequented the bars\, galleries\, and cafés in Greenwich Village not because he was assigned to\, but because he wanted to document what he called\, “The most colorful community of interesting people\, fascinating places\, and dynamic ideas.” \nMcDarrah’s work is now represented in public and private collections the world over and hangs on museum and gallery walls. He took now-iconic photos of cultural giants like Allen Ginsberg\, Andy Warhol\, Bob Dylan\, and Robert F. Kennedy\, and covered events like the Stonewall rebellion\, Woodstock\, and 1963 March on Washington (where Martin Luther King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech). \n  \nPhoto captions: \nPortrait of American poet Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) outside of Judson Memorial Church\, Thompson St. at Washington Square South\, March 29\, 1964.

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. \nThe Full Moon Show is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement / Creative Learning\, supported by New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council. LMCC.net \nPhoto copyright @charley.llama URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/the-full-moon-show-2016-11-16-2017-01-14-2017-07-14-2017-08-07-2017-12-03-2018-01-31-2018-09-24/ LOCATION:Howl!

Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present Flower Power Man\, an event celebrating theater artist George Harris III\, aka Hibiscus (1949-1982). This evening will highlight an influential and flamboyant life with multimedia and live performance. Special guests will also read from his new biography Flower Power Man. \nHibiscus’ career intersects with seminal events of the 60s and 70s relating to theater\, politics\, gender\, and the LGBTQ communities. While protesting the Vietnam War in 1967\, George became the subject of photojournalist Bernie Boston’s iconic photograph “Flower Power”\, while placing a flower in the barrel of a national guardman’s rifle at a peace rally in Washington D.C. En route to San Francisco\, George underwent an outrageous makeover\, growing a glitter-ornamented beard and changing his name to Hibiscus. \nThe term flower power came to epitomize a style of peaceful protest championed by Hibiscus’ friend Allen Ginsberg. They were lovers briefly but Allen fled the relationship\, complaining there was “too much glitter in the bed.” \nHibiscus and his family reinvented themselves during the Off-Off-Broadway movement of the 60s. From the early ‘Let’s put on a show!’ days in Florida to the risky move of transplanting the whole tribe to New York\, Flower Power Man depicts the euphoric highs and terrifying lows of an artist’s way of life. \nFrom original musicals at La MaMa\, Judson Church\, and Theater for the New City; to the founding of psychedelic gay liberation theater troupes The Cockettes and Angels of Light\, and the 80s powerhouse glitter-rock band Hibiscus and The Screaming Violets; Hibiscus’ courageous\, outrageous artistry continues to influence contemporary theater\, music\, fashion\, gay politics\, spirituality\, and urban-club life. \nTwo decades after his death from AIDS-related illnesses\, Hibiscus continues to be recognized as a free spirit in gay liberation. \n  \nPhoto: Bernie Boston\n© Bernie Boston Collection\,\nRIT Archive Collections URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/george-harris-iii-aka-hibiscus-flower-power-man-reading-and-performances/ LOCATION:NY ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.howlarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/FPM-Cover-For-Howl-V1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180920T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180920T210000 DTSTAMP:20260606T150835 CREATED:20180912T162807Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180912T181106Z UID:10000223-1537470000-1537477200@www.howlarts.org SUMMARY:Local Knowledge Magazine Issue #6 DESCRIPTION:Launch Party\n  \nHowl!

Happening is pleased to present Stooge\, a feature-length documentary film about Iggy Pop’s number one fan. Stooge is not your typical rock ‘n’ roll documentary film. Nominated in 2017 for “Best UK Feature” at London’s Raindance Film Festival\, director Madeleine Farley’s epic odyssey has been described as Spinal Tap meets One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest. A discussion with director Farley and co-producers Stephen Smith and Martin Kloiber follows the screening. \nThe film narrates the story of Robert Pargiter\, a magnetic\, childlike superfan of Iggy and The Stooges\, who goes on a fanatical quest to keep rock alive. Like a fly on the wall\, we follow him on a trek to London\, San Francisco\, L.A.\, and Miami\, as the film becomes an intimate introspection into his journey—and more broadly—a study of one man’s personal obsession. \nComedy and tragedy intermingle with the pathos of his personal demons\, and ultimately the serious business of dealing with his life offers him a way back to his joie de vivre. View the trailer here. \nStooge is essential viewing not just for fans of Iggy Pop\, but for fans of soul\, passion\, and above all\, friendship. —DA Film Review \n  \nAbout Madeleine Farley \nMadeleine Farley is an award-winning British director whose previous work includes Trollywood\, a feature-length documentary about the homeless in Los Angeles\, and Gorilla School\, a 13-part series for the Discovery Channel about the plight of western lowland gorillas in Africa. \n  \nAbout Howl!

At this moment—now more than ever—we need to collectively embrace art as celebration; glamour as resistance; desire\, allure and romance as defiance. \n—Karen Finley \nTanner’s work is about looking. Deeply. In the eyes. Seeing inside to the core of deep vulnerability in each of us. It’s also about being ravaged by beauty. Even in this #MeToo moment\, it continues to be easy to dismiss the feminine in art\, the embellishments that dazzle\, and the extravagance that meets the eye within the wild beauty of Chris Tanner’s over-the-top work. \nWhile this career survey is about paintings and drawings created over the last decade\, it comes out of a remarkable personal story that starts with his mother Sally Tanner—“a tough broad\,” Tanner says. As an assemblywoman in Southern California\, she helped write the Lemon Law and lived with her partner Patricia Hofstetter\, a municipal court judge. These two larger-than-life women shaped Tanner’s character\, informing his work. \nThe exhibition includes four series of works—each with its own inspiration—that emphasize ornamental\, visually-luxuriant design. Intensely huge eyes; dreamlike metaphors glittery\, embroidered\, and bejeweled; and the value of visual pleasure\, pattern\, and decoration are apparent in his work. Freed from the constraints of the prevailing historical legacy of minimalism and conceptual art\, and indebted to liberation politics—particularly feminism and queer culture—his work is celebrated as “fierce and resplendent” by artist Robert Kushner in his essay for the show’s catalog. \nThree huge tactile paintings of peacocks are rendered in rhinestones\, crystals\, old German paste\, seed beads\, shelf paper\, glass\, tiger’s eye\, polyester glitter\, shells\, and acrylic paint. Kushner connects the visual metaphor of peacocks that intersects both their lives by describing Mughai emperor and aesthete Shah Jahan’s Peacock Throne. It took six years to complete\, cost more than the Taj Mahal\, and was described by 17th century contemporaries as “a peacock with elevated tail made of blue sapphires and other colored stones\, the body being of gold inlaid with precious stones\, and having a large ruby in front of the breast\, from whence hangs a pear-shaped pearl of 50 carats.” Hello\, Chris\, we all know you were there\, says Kushner. \nThe mythology of the peacock runs deep: James McNeill Whistler’s Peacock Room (1876)\, now installed in the Freer Gallery of Art…the belief in ancient Greece that the flesh of peafowl did not decay after death\, rendering it a symbol of immortality…the childhood memory of color TV and the significance of the ubiquitous NBC logo…“the peacocks [that] sometimes roamed wild in the San Gabriel Valley suburbs of your and my childhood\, their piercing screams loud enough to wake you out of slumber\,” as Kushner puts it. Tanner’s peacocks embody the mysterious strength of this bird and make it manifest in time and space. \nTanner uses glamour to blur the lines between high and low\, art and decoration\, object and idea. The emotion in Tanner’s paintings can be appreciated in four heavily embroidered\, beaded\, mirrored\, and bejeweled canvases the artist describes as “Mae West meets Mary Todd Lincoln.” For him\, these paintings are about positive and negative poles of power and vulnerability. The hair embellishment in one is a memory of his father’s shame at wearing a toupee; the blue in another is the camp fantasy of Maria Montez\, her jeweled hand in a pool of water; and pink saturates a painting made to evoke burlesque and gay life of the 1950s. Tanner is also a well-known and acclaimed performer and in the final painting of the series\, he pays homage to the woman he has “always wanted to play on stage—the big crazy fag hag” Mary Todd Lincoln. \nIn a series of intimate\, mostly black and white nudes drawn from life\, Tanner explores a tension between the artist and his subjects’ vulnerability. Categorically explicit\, in these intimate drawings he reduces his imagery to line and feeling—discarding embellishment to honor the sitter’s unashamed sexuality. \nAlso included in the exhibition are a series of drawings on wallpaper—mostly military\, and Hawaiian from the 40s—featuring huge eyelashes\, big red lips\, and accoutrements that read like kooky\, two-dimensional drag. \nHis appropriation of everything shimmery reminds us about the surface thrill-shrill shallowness of empty promises and things bling. But we can dance. Wear perfume to cover the stink. His extreme embellishments and décor-defused accoutrements expose the blur of grotesque quick-change artists. He is really saying what matters is the love within\, rather than without. —Karen Finley \n  URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/chris-tanner-heres-looking-at-you/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Exhibition,Gallery ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.howlarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Gates-of-Paradise-5x8-Beads-Jewels-Mixed-Media-on-Canvas-2018.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180727T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180727T163000 DTSTAMP:20260606T150835 CREATED:20160911T175832Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180713T215821Z UID:10000324-1532707200-1532709000@www.howlarts.org SUMMARY:Full Moon Show Featuring Hapi Phace!

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 Playhouse of the Ridiculous\, including the offbeat hit\, Cock Strong\, which toured with Ellen Stewart’s La MaMa Troupe to Paris\, Amsterdam and Brussels. \nTom 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. From the mid 80’s on\, he created\, performed\, and curated a series of variety nights at Performance Space 122\, La Mama Experimental Theatre Club and Dixon Place\, called The Full Moon Show.
