SUMMARY:Samoa Candy Coated Evil
DESCRIPTION:An Exhibition Curated by Kembra Pfahler\nOpening Reception: Wednesday\, January 10\, 6–8 PM \nIn a poisoned\, jaded world\, this show is a limitless panacea. Samoa’s vocabulary is so innately understandable by anyone with a heart that still beats. And loved by those of us who understand that art and music and performance can create change\, rather than just swell our pockets or decorate our rooms. It’s art that serves a purpose\, and Samoa’s work does just that—one show at a time.  —Kembra Pfahler \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present Candy Coated Evil\, a solo exhibition by the multifaceted Samoa\, curated by artist and performer Kembra Pfahler. The exhibition encompasses the full range of Samoa’s diverse art forms—an installation recreating his now-legendary Candy Coated Evil store\, which opened in 1996 within East Village landmark The Pink Pony; costumes and props from his performances and music groups; and paintings that capture his deep experience of living in New York City. \nA major element of the artist’s show are live events—performances by Samoa and Kembra Pfahler\, as well as a panel discussion\, and an evening of video and film. (See dates below.) \nBorn in Hiroshima\, Japan\, he formed his first rock band\, Johnny\, while still in high school and curated numerous music events before moving to Tokyo\, where he acted in underground theater and TV dramas. Doing extreme performance in Tokyo in the late 70s\, he invented his name—imagining Samoa as an idyllic paradise where he’d someday live. It was in Japan that he began creating his flamboyant costumes. He won a grand prize in 1978 at a popular disco in Tokyo\, dressed as a large can of roach spray while surrounded by a coterie of friends in cockroach costumes. He moved to New York in 1980. \nIn the Candy Coated Evil exhibition\, Samoa constructs his experiences of coming to the dystopic landscape of the Lower East Side. As Pfahler puts it\, he’s “a heroic artist and immigrant without the word ‘fear’ in his vocabulary.” The complex emotions he expresses about this experience can be seen throughout his work. \nRadical and outrageous\, he has been an active participant in extreme alternative interdisciplinary art culture for decades. He was one of the first performers at the Pyramid Cocktail Lounge—where he learned English by performing with friends Tanya Ransom and Frederic\, and watching early performances by legends like Ethyl Eichelberger and John Sex—a first wave of punk performance heroes that are historicized widely in the art world today. He stood out singing and playing his original music on his signature Gibson guitar at Wigstock in the early 80s; in 1984\, his rock opera\, Under the Bad Star\, premiered at La MaMa. The opera featured his over-the-top sets and costumes; the backing band included members of the alternative post-punk band Jawbreaker. Many of his wildly eccentric costumes and other DIY artifacts from this period will be on display. \nIn 1990—with Pfahler—he founded the legendary theatrical shock rock band The Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black. Samoa was responsible for writing all the music for the band\, which continues to wreak havoc wherever they perform today. As much a theatrical troupe as a band\, New York’s TVHKB (named in homage to the B-movie scream queen) mixes their punk roots with elements of vaudeville\, psychotronic films\, and futuristic burlesque to arrive at their signature identity. \nIn his paintings\, the subjects he chooses to portray—James Baldwin\, Nina Simone\, First Nation Chief Wolf Robe\, Ken Takakura (a Yakuza movie star)\, and many more—draw attention to racial and social issues in vivid color\, with bold images that capture the hopes\, fears\, wonder\, and pain of his American experience. \nIn curator Pfahler’s words: “The oddness that emerges…his particular type of rage at the injustice that inhabits our world sneaks beautifully into every crevice of his canvases. Not unlike his songwriting and costume making…it’s all Samoa…part prophetic soothsaying and part gilded advertisement for a new world….” \nPERFORMANCES AND LIVE EVENTS\nSaturday\, January 13: Performance by Kembra Pfahler and a performance by Samoa\nSunday\, January 14: Panel discussion\nThursday\, January 18: Video/film screening\nThursday\, February 8: Samoa performance\nSunday\, February 11: Closing night ceremony \nAbout Samoa \nAbout Kembra Pfahler

SUMMARY:Full Moon Show
DESCRIPTION:Every Month on The Full Moon\n4pm Sharp\n  \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nHowl! Happening houses the archives of the late 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. When dateless and unbooked\, he’d perform 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 Playhouse of the Ridiculous\, including the offbeat hit\, Cock Strong\, which toured with Ellen Stewart’s La MaMa Troupe to Paris\, Amsterdam and Brussels. \nTom 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. From the mid 80’s on\, he created\, performed\, and curated a series of variety nights at Performance Space 122\, 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. \nThe Full Moon Show is made possible in part with public funds from Creative Engagement / Creative Learning\, supported by New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature and administered by Lower Manhattan Cultural Council.

SUMMARY:Tight 5
DESCRIPTION:A Comedy Series hosted by Greer Dworman \nFeaturing:\nAlex Rodabaugh\nSara Gibbons\nDoug LeCours\nRachael Warner \nPresented by HOWL! 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.
