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:The Mayhem Moon
DESCRIPTION:A Stinkmetal and May Production\nIn homage to Tom Murrin’s Luna Macaroona Full Moon Shows\nProduction Director: Tony Stinkmetal\nFrom 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. Performed by Agosto Machado\, Pedro J. Rosado\, Jr.\, Annie Lanzillotto\, Aru Hangar\, Simba Yangala\, Nina Ndjemba Elemva\, Salley May and Tony Stinkmetal. The Mayhem Moon will take place in the gallery at 7 PM (instead of the sidewalk shows at 4). \nYou know that dream? The one where you’re on a prison planet and the inmates only know one joke…\nThe one where an ICE agent\, a doctor\, and a scary clown walk into a bar and the bartender says\, “Why the long shadow?”\nThen come the birds. They’re crashing against the windows.\nYou open the window to let them out. They fly free.\nYou try to follow them but the bars are too close together.\nAnd you’re locked out.\nThe Mayhem Moon will punch that dream in the face.\nInsiders will be exiled\, inmates will take office\, jesters will ascend to the throne. \nMAYHEM is coming to the rescue. \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. \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:Tomata du Plenty Coast to Coast
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition\, Panel Discussion\, and Screenings\nActor\, performer\, painter\, raconteur. Howl! Happening is pleased to present an evening celebrating the colorful coast-to-coast life of Tomata du Plenty. The show will include a one night only sale of Tomata’s watercolors from the collection of Chuck Fulton\, a slide show curated by Sandra Schulman\, and a panel discussion focusing on Tomata’s time in New York City. The panel will feature 70s era Off-Off-Broadway theater contemporaries Tish and Snooky of Manic Panic; Jack Rabid\, publisher of The Big Takeover\, who conducted one of the last interviews with Tomata; and Carlos Iglesias\, L.A. based collector and documentarian of the upcoming film on Tomata’s life. A slide show and a short film\, commissioned especially for the presentation\, will be shown. \nTomata du Plenty (1948 –2000)\, born David Xavier Harrigan\, was an artist in step with his times—careening from careers as a theater troupe founder and experimental punk band performer to multimedia artist. Born in New York and raised in California\, Tomata seized the day in San Francisco\, where he joined the Cockettes\, the legendary theater troupe in 1968. He co-founded Ze Whiz Kidz\, a lip-synch troupe\, with the late Gorilla Rose in Seattle and later performed comedy with Fayette Hauser and Gorilla at CBGB in New York\, alongside the Ramones\, and the Stilettos with a pre-Blondie Debbie Harry. \nHe made his mark with The Screamers\, a band with no guitars—just one ARP Odyssey synthesizer\, one Fender Rhodes with fuzzbox\, a minimal drum kit\, and Tomata on lead vocals. They never recorded an album but became sensations at The Masque\, the Whisky a Go Go\, and the Roxy in Los Angeles with their meticulously polished productions. \nAfter the final breakup of The Screamers in 1981\, Tomata embarked on a new career as a painter and evolved into a revered folk artist who worked the storefront gallery circuit in Seattle\, L.A.\, Miami\, New Orleans\, and San Francisco. He always said he’d sooner sell 100 of his trademark instant paintings depicting his favorite artists and other plain folks at $25 each than one at $25\,000. And that’s exactly what he did. \nPhoto: Marva Marrow

SUMMARY:Robbie O. Leaver and Jim Coleman This Wilderness
DESCRIPTION:A Musical Performance \nRobbie O. Leaver and Jim Coleman return to Howl! Happening as This Wilderness. Originally performing as Birdthrower\, they played a memorable show alongside Lydia Lunch in conjunction with Voyeur\, Beth B’s exhibition at the gallery. \nFusing darkness and humor\, intimacy and expansion\, disrupted circuitry and the whisper of breath\, the music and personality of This Wilderness is uniquely seductive and disquieting. The raw emotional quality of Leaver’s vocals combined with the ethereal and intense atmosphere of Coleman’s music create a connection with the psyche that is both profound and touching. \nAbout the Performers\nJim Coleman has a deep history in the NYC music scene. He was an integral member of the seminal post-industrial band Cop Shoot Cop. Coleman recorded and performed solo as Phylr and released Trees\, a solo album of electroacoustic ambient music. In July 2017\, he released a techno album\, No More Fear\, as J-CO on Italian house label Defora. He has scored music for independent films and television\, working with directors including Hal Hartley\, Beth B\, Todd Philips\, and Richard Kern. Music collaborations include Lydia Lunch\, J.G. Thirlwell\, and noted Italian composer Teho Teardo. Coleman currently splits his time between This Wilderness and his other band\, The Children\, a collective of musicians centered around a core collaboration with Michael Weiner and Phil Puleo. \nRobert O. Leaver is a musician\, writer\, and performance artist. He is currently recording an album of his solo acoustic project\, Birdthrower\, produced by Grammy-winner Ben Harper. He has also written for television and film\, collaborating with author Sebastian Junger as well as producer/filmmaker Larry Fessenden\, with whom he co-wrote the critically acclaimed film The Last Winter. Leaver has also written for Esquire\, Sports Afield\, Tin House\, and High Times magazines\, among others. Leaver’s performance art piece Crawling Home found him crawling the length of Manhattan on his hands and knees\, wearing his father’s vintage business suit. Another performance piece\, Hole Earth\, involved him digging and occupying holes in various locations around the world while wearing said suit. Leaver writes about his experiences. He grew up down the road from Walden Pond and is a longtime resident of Washington Heights.
