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

SUMMARY:Basquiat: Rage to Riches
DESCRIPTION:A Documentary Film by David Shulman \nHowl! Happening and Brett De Palma are pleased to present a preview screening of the BBC production Basquiat: Rage to Riches\, by award-winning director David Shulman\, made in conjunction with the major retrospective Basquiat: Boom for Real currently on view at Barbican in London. \nThis screening is free and open to the public \nThe recent Sotheby’s auction of a Jean-Michel Basquiat Skull painting for over a hundred million dollars has catapulted this Brooklyn-born artist into the top tier of the international art market\, joining the ranks of Picasso\, de Kooning\, and Francis Bacon. This film tells Jean-Michel’s story through exclusive interviews with his two sisters Lisane and Jeanine\, who have never before agreed to be interviewed for a TV documentary. With striking candor\, Basquiat’s art dealers—including Larry Gagosian\, Mary Boone\, and Bruno Bischofberger—as well as his most intimate friends\, lovers\, and fellow artists\, expose the cash\, drugs\, and pernicious racism which Basquiat confronted on a daily basis. As historical tableaux\, visual diaries of defiance\, or surfaces covered with hidden meanings\, Basquiat’s art remains the beating heart of this story. \nphoto caption: Jean Michel Basquiat and Brett De Palma

SUMMARY:Celebrate Harry Smith with Raymond Foye
DESCRIPTION:NYC Premiere of Robert Frank’s Harry Smith Breslin Hotel NYC (1984)\nAnd the music of High Water\nRaymond Foye and Howl! Happening are pleased to present an evening celebrating the legendary filmmaker\, painter\, and folklorist Harry Smith. The event includes the New York premiere of Harry Smith Breslin Hotel NYC\, a short film by Robert Frank; a panel discussion; and a screening of Smith’s animated films with live music by High Water\, songwriter and saxophonist Will Epstein’s changing collective of electronic swing and improvised incantation. \nAlways on the verge of homelessness\, for eight years Smith occupied a tiny room in the Breslin\, a welfare hotel on Broadway and West 29th Street. Forced to move when the residence was sold and converted to a luxury hotel\, Robert Frank documented Smith packing his belongings and leaving his home for a Bowery shelter\, where he occupied a tiny steel wire mesh cubicle for several years before being rediscovered and rescued by Allen Ginsberg. \nThe short will be shown twice\, before and after a panel discussion featuring Raymond Foye and Charles Compo\, two friends who spent a great deal of time with Harry in his room at the Breslin Hotel. Although it was one of the most reclusive periods in Smith’s life\, it was also most productive. He saw very few people\, but edited his epic multi-screen magnum opus film No. 18: Mahagonny. He also compiled several recording projects (on the Kiowa\, and on shape-note singing) and returned to painting. \nThis program is produced in conjunction with Brett De Palma’s exhibition Dreaming on the Bowery: Post-Apocalyptic Paintings\, on view from November 18 through December 20\, 2017. \nPhoto of Harry Smith by Allen Ginsberg \n
