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: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:Brett De Palma Dreaming on the Bowery: Post-Apocalyptic Paintings
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Saturday\, November 18 / 6 PM / Free\nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present Dreaming on the Bowery\, a retrospective of paintings by New York artist Brett De Palma. A representative selection of his nimble\, allegorical\, and chaotic figuration\, the works include contemporary paintings that serve as canvas for De Palma’s commentary on the current political and cultural climate\, as well as works made over the course of the last 30 years—replete with satire\, farce\, and funky humor. \nThis exhibition features a dazzling group of large-scale paintings that display a willful reticence of refinement and a handmade\, playful style. Furious scuffles of paint spawning half-smothered epic-historical subject matter synthesize a crude\, rude\, rough around the edges American brashness. Living and working in the late 70s and 80s\, he was on the downtown scene\, pulling from his experience of iconic clubs and galleries where fashion elites\, artists\, and musicians convened. This same gritty\, decaying street scene in New York was the stage for luminous friends like Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Keith Haring\, Kenny Scharf\, Julian Schnabel\, and David Salle. \nIn an early review in the New Yorker\, renowned critic Lisa Liebmann says\, “In paintings that show rare daring and a fond insubordination to painterly fashion that is healthier than mere disregard […] De Palma’s splendid\, crazed work is really wild at heart\, a lot wilder\, in fact\, than Fauve art.”\nA sharp yet playful humor and sardonic\, critical view of humankind is characteristic of De Palma’s personality and his approach to creating art—he describes his work as having no rules. As an artist\, his goal is to open possibilities rather than restrict freedom of style\, subject matter\, or technique. Through a synthesis of contradictory elements—hard edges and soft forms\, sensuality and roughness\, humor and darkness—De Palma’s art depicts the shifting quality of life in all its quirkiness. \n“For the artists who love their work and feel that it is meaningful\, productive efforts are a type of devotion\,” says De Palma. “My work flies in the face of fashion and demonstrates how the artist and poet must fight the gods of our society: the god of conformism\, as well as the gods of apathy\, material success\, and exploitative power.” \nWith each composition\, he aims to discover and express the depth of character and thought that springs from an authentic view of life\, untainted by commercial forces or the art market. In a world where the shrewd prosper and the hardworking innocents find themselves outside the system\, De Palma has resisted in solitary solidarity with his own vision—being alone\, keeping his distance\, maintaining the peace of mind necessary for listening to one’s deeper self. \nHerein lies the timeless fear that every society harbors about its artists. They are the ones who threaten the status quo that society is devoted to protecting. Such an artist is Brett De Palma. \nAbout Brett De Palma \nDe Palma worked at Sperone Westwater Fischer Gallery and was included in 1982’s Documenta 7\, curated by Dutch art historian Rudi Fuchs. He exhibited with Tony Shafrazi and Fawbush galleries. De Palma was the recipient of an NEA grant and has shown nationally and internationally. He taught advanced painting in the early 90s at Princeton and has been on the faculty of School of Visual Arts in New York for the past 28 years. From 1992 to 2005\, De Palma was also director of creative arts at VillageCare\, a Manhattan AIDS day treatment program. \n
