SUMMARY:Writers Block 2016Kembra PfahlerRebel Without a Cock
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 12\, 2016 / 7 PM /\n$30 Suggested Donation\nWith Alice Moy\, Cornelius Loy\, and Music by Samoa \nPart of the 2016 Writers Block staged reading and performance festival \nKembra Pfahler is a punk rocker\, screen goddess\, curator and performance artist who moved from Los Angeles to the East Village in the early 1980s. Over the course of her time in New York\, she’s modeled for Calvin Klein\, sung lead in theatrical death metal band The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black\, and created performances based on Anti-Naturalism and Availabilism\, the tenet of which is making the best of what’s available to create performances—as an expression of an ineffable part of oneself. \nRebel Without a Cock is an epic-length Karen Black song from the album “Fuck Island.” This work uses classic rock like the bread and the performance art aspect like the butter. “It makes the sharing of this work a little happier and less austere\,” says Kembra as she describes the album as “having the worst titles she has ever come up with” and looks forward to putting them all onto t-shirts. She feels that a show is only as good as the t-shirt and says she would “prefer to wear a Rebel Without a Cock t-shirt to an Annie or Chicago t-shirt. When pressed to further explain the content of this performance she recommended “it would be better to know as little as possible about the performance so as to be more surprised.” Participating in the performance are Samoa\, co- founder and lead guitarist of The Voluptuous Horror of Karen black and band member Alice Moy. An artist\, Samoa will be having his first solo painting show at Howl! Happening in January 2018. \nPfahler’s work has been included in solo exhibitions at Deitch Projects\, P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center\, and The Hole\, New York\, NY; Rove Gallery\, London\, UK; and hpgrp Gallery\, Tokyo\, Japan. She was a featured artist in the 2008 Whitney Biennial. She will have a solo exhibition at the Leopold Thun gallery in London opening November 2016. She has toured and performed extensively with The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black throughout the world and her extensive body of film work is housed in the Fales library at New York University. In 2014 she developed “Performance Art 101\,” a curriculum that she has taught at prestigious educational institutions like CalArts and elsewhere. Pfahler’s work has been discussed in The New York Times\, W\, and Rolling Stone\, among other publications. \nTICKETS: $30 suggested donation. Includes a reception with the artist \nThe staged readings series is a benefit for the Actors Fund’s Howl! HELP\, providing emergency financial assistance and social service support to artists who have made or continue to make their careers in New York’s East Village and Lower East Side arts communities. Howl! HELP is administered by the Actors Fund and 100% ticket sales benefit the Actors Fund. \nphoto: Luke Mayes

SUMMARY:It's All True: The East Village Eye Show
DESCRIPTION:Portrait of David Byrne by Marcia Resnick \nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to shine a light on another important source of East Village social and cultural history: The East Village Eye. A monthly magazine published from 1979 through 1987\, The East Village Eye focused on popular and avant-garde culture\, politics and other issues relevant to the East Village and environs. Self-styled as “a community in print\,” the magazine is noted for its groundbreaking coverage of the emerging punk\, new wave and hip hop music scenes of the time\, as well as the influential art\, literature\, film and performance worlds of the era. \nThe East Village Eye Show will feature covers\, centerfolds\, interior pages\, ephemera and photographic prints\, as well as key artwork from the era. The show draws from the nearly 4\,000 pages\, 3\,000 photographs\, sets of original copies and attendant materials that constitute The East Village Eye Archive\, dubbed “the King Tut’s tomb of downtown New York.” \nArtist and Colab co-founder Christof Kohlhofer was the first art director of the Eye. Kohlhofer\, who studied with Joseph Beuys\, introduced Abrams to the influential artists who were a part of the flourishing EV art scene. “I credit Christof with steering the Eye towards art\, but also for injecting a Beuys-like approach. Basically doing whatever was necessary at the time\,” says Abrams in the 2014 Hyperallergic article The East Village Eye: Where Art\, Hip Hop\, and Punk Collided. \nAs a result\, the magazine featured art world luminaries including David Wojnarowicz\, Richard Hell\, Cookie Mueller\, Lucy Lippard\, and Rene Ricard. The magazine’s covers read like a who’s who of cultural influencers like Patti Astor\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, and Vito Acconci; emerging artists such as Sue Coe\, Barbara Kruger and Kiki Smith; as well as musicians like Patti Smith\, Run DMC\, Annie Lennox\, and the Beastie Boys. \nRichard Hell explained how he and other New Yorkers\, and not English kids\, “invented” punk; Cookie Mueller dished out bold and often hilarious health advice; Glenn O’Brien\, the leading avant-pop writer and media figure\, expounded on the New York Yankees; and the aforementioned David Wojnarowicz wrote about his harrowing past and present as a street hustler and later as an artist living with HIV. \nCreative collaboration was the hallmark of the magazine’s legacy. “The mix of fashion\, music\, art\, politics\, comics etc.\, the way it was presented by the Eye\, the constant changing impact through all those different people who worked on the paper\, and Leonard’s attitude not to interfere with that\, made it a very lively subject\,” says Kohlhofer in the Hyperallergic article. \nOver a period of eight years\, the magazine chronicled the spectacular rise and eventual implosion of the East Village art scene. The Eye‘s coverage of the arts and music scenes helped illuminate the psychosocial conflicts running through EV/LES culture\, NYC\, and beyond. Later issues of the Eye touched upon the beginnings of radical changes in the neighborhood. In April 1986 the magazine ran a feature on the rise of “The East Village Yuppie.” Sixth months earlier\, the Eye’s art editor\, Carlo McCormick\, published an obituary for the neighborhood’s art scene. “Though the greed and envy have disbanded our beautiful community\,” wrote McCormick\, “the East Village will continue to exist as the simulacrum of itself. The art world is finally ready to preserve our youth like the glamorous visage of the internally decrepit Dorian Grey.” \nUltimately\, The East Village Eye was the monthly record of a time and place in which the radical shifts of the post-Vietnam era produced a reckless thirst for experience and expression that redefined the world we live in today. Through this exhibition\, Howl! Happening stands in solidarity with the EV/LES artists and community—past and present—whose creativity continues to fuel us. \nSpecial Events are also planned. Check the Howl! Happening website for updates.\nSeptember 18: Panel Discussion\nSeptember 24: New/No Wave Films\nSeptember 25: Cinema of Transgression\nOctober 6: Channeling the Dead: Readings of stories by deceased writers Kathy Acker\, Cookie Mueller\, Rene Ricard\, David Wojnarowicz and (too many) others. \nEast Village Eye – Special Edition \nA special edition of The East Village Eye will act as the catalogue. The tabloid-sized magazine will include historical essays; political commentary; articles about current events and people who are impacting our world; and guides to goings-on in downtown Manhattan and Brooklyn.

SUMMARY:The Full Moon Show
DESCRIPTION:A Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention\nEvery Month on the Full Moon\nAs a special tribute to Tom Murrin\, the late godfather of performance art\, Howl! Happening presents it monthly series THE FULL MOON SHOW—performances\, rituals\, and blessings paying tribute to his moon goddess Luna Macaroona—an homage he delivered as a stage and street performer for nearly 50 years. In the gallery or on the street expect madcap performances by old friends and rising stars. The Tom Murrin/Full Moon series is curated by performance artist Salley May. Check back here for times and performers. \n  \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. \n  \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 famed 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. He performed in New York City clubs and theaters as The Alien Comic\, appearing 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 created\, performed\, and curated a series of variety nights at Performance Space 122\, and later at the 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.
