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

Happening\, Tight 5 is a comedy series curated and hosted by comedian and performer Greer Dworman. A come-as-you-are comedy show billed with performers willing to try stand-up for the first time ever. Universally agreed upon as the scariest thing anyone will ever do (questionably an exaggeration)\, Tight 5 prompts performers to “Try it. Just try it!” or “Let go and let god!” \nGreer Dworman is a Chicago-born now Brooklyn-based performer and maker. Her work has been presented in venues across Chicago and now emerging within the New York performance community as part of CATCH\, Movement Research at the Judson Church\, SHELTER Talk Series\, Salonathon Chicago\, and Brink! at Dixon Place\, among others. \nDworman presently and passionately investigates comedy and pop culture in her work\, grappling with larger ideas in the world located in personal narrative\, concerning herself with the Right Now. \nShe received her BFA in Dance Making from the Dance Center of Columbia College Chicago.

SUMMARY:Daniel Wolff Grown-Up Anger
DESCRIPTION:The Connected Mysteries of Bob Dylan\, Woody Guthrie\, and the Calumet Massacre of 1913 \nDiscussion in conjunction with Brett De Palma exhibition \nHe is a deliberately seditious artist who refuses to make his subject and palette soothing and acceptable. Everything about his work is impolitic and eye-catching: an unlikely combination that has a particular frisson to it. Given the bitter tonic of reality we must drink every day; De Palma’s disjunctive miscellany feels right. —John Yau\, “Brett De Palma’s Aesthetic Disobedience”\, from the exhibition catalog \nDrawing parallels to the social criticism in Brett De Palma’s paintings on view at the gallery and to the current political climate\, Grammy-nominated and award-winning author Daniel Wolff will speak on his latest book\, Grown-up Anger: The Connected Mysteries of Bob Dylan\, Woody Guthrie\, and the Calumet Massacre of 1913\, hailed by The New York Times as an “elegantly written and insightful cultural history” and which The Wall Street Journal calls a “gripping account…[that] blasts through layers of American history.” \nThe loss of innocence is one thing. It’s inevitable\, happens to all of us\, may even offer a chance to learn. The slaughter of innocence is something else. It comes forward carrying more than we can count\, crazed with color\, infiltrating the future. —Daniel Wolff\, from his essay in the Brett De Palma exhibition catalog \n
