SUMMARY:Philly Abe This Side of Heaven
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Wednesday April 4 / 6–8 PM / Free\n. . . a hybrid practice that has consistently harnessed both punk irreverence and graffiti transgression to channel demons. . . into the exquisite\, glowing collages. —Jenifer P Borum\, Raw Vision magazine \nArtist and performer Philly Abe (July 8\, 1949–January 30\, 2018) was a vortex of energy and core member of the Howl! Happening Tribe. Whether performing on the street outside the gallery in the impromptu and wacky Full Moon Show\, cheering on her friends at events and exhibitions\, or just being her own chaotic\, colorful self\, Philly/Kondor8 was a visionary who never stopped creating and reinventing herself through her performances\, collages\, and paintings. This Side of Heaven pays tribute to her work and life\, as we mourn her passing with a memorial exhibition. \nPhilly was born in 1949 and grew up in the suburbs of Philadelphia. She attended Penn State and received a degree in educational communications. Always a rebel rouser\, she was involved with some anarchist groups in the late 60s\, and in the 70s she moved to Toronto with her then-husband who worked for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. There she became involved with documentary radio\, studied dance with Lindsay Kemp\, and opened a punk store before heading West to more adventures. She made her way to San Francisco\, where she met Mike and George Kuchar\, with whom she would later make several films. Eventually\, in 1983\, she moved to the Lower East Side\, which was to be her home until her untimely death. \nOnce in New York\, Philly was fully engaged in the nightlife and cultural scene. She performed at the Pyramid\, Area\, Limbo Lounge\, 8BC\, Danceteria\, and did what it took to get by in the no holds barred atmosphere of creativity and community that reigned before the era of gentrification. It’s reputed that early on she even “slept on the stage of ABC No Rio.” \nIn January of this year\, she was the recipient of an Acker Award\, a tribute to the avant-garde arts community who praised her work and life “in defiance of convention.” Her bio from their program outlines her creative trajectory: She was part of 7 Days of Creation at ABC No Rio in 1983\, and the New Leonard Beach Hotel Project of artist-decorated rooms in Miami Beach in 1989\, both exhibitions curated by Allied Productions. She was the star of many films by director Todd Verow and his muse for more than two decades. Notable Verow films starring Philly include Once and Future Queen\, The Trouble of Perpetual Deja-Vu\, and most recently This Side of Heaven (2016). She starred in Agent of Paradise by Mary Bellis and was involved in screenings at Naked Eye Cinema. Her film credits also include appearances in the films of Jack Waters\, Carl George\, and Mike Kuchar. \nIn the 90s Philly fronted the punk band Eager Meat\, which recorded the album America is a Theme Park. In 2004\, she co-founded the noize/art collective Infinity SS (Saint Stanton) with Stanton Street artist friends Carlucci ‘The Magician’ Bencivenga\, Steve Ellis\, James Curtright\, Chris Morrow\, Craig Klein\, Kosuke Aoki\, Mayuka Nobuta\, and Dave Vulcan. They collaborated on art and their noize band performed at The Knitting Factory\, Arlene’s Grocery\, and CBGBs. \nFor the Acker Awards\, she described her work as “old style thrown against the wall of now—spray paint noize markers collage—with one foot in the Stone Age and the other in string theory.” Her work was featured on the cover of Raw Vision issue #66 in 2009\, and in exhibitions with Christina Varga in Woodstock\, New York\, and Phyllis Kind Gallery in Chelsea.

SUMMARY:Disconnected Touch A Full Moon Show
DESCRIPTION:A Full Moon Show Hosted by Rani O’Brien\nThe Full Moon Show: A Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention\nMissed Connections\nI was sitting on the BDFM train heading down to the East Village toward my favorite coffee spot\, Blue Bottle\, when I saw you delicately bolstering your chiffon scarf (which matched the natural rouge of your cheeks). You sat next to me\, crossing your legs\, sporting the hip displacement of Fosse himself. You wore a velvet blazer with a button that read “East Village Evictee: I Made Noise!” with a City Lore book bag featuring a painting of the Can Man. We caught eyes\, awkwardly over our shoulders. You glanced down at my Patagonia vest—your eyes rocketed to my REI backpack\, then to my Lulus—as if to tell me I was emblematic of everything you stood against. I was the problem. Only then did you give me the deepest look I have ever been graced with. Our thighs touched. For a moment I thought our entire beings would too. An alert popped up on my phone—it was a live pic of my friend’s baby dancing naked at Coachella. I laughed. When I looked back to you\, you flew off the subway car faster than I could ask for your Instagram handle. Yet\, you looked back with that soul piercing gaze. \nDon’t miss the connection: Join Rani O’Brien and Jazmine Corneille\, Sophia Gutchinov and Dana Stern on the sidewalk outside Howl! Happening\, so we can slide into each other’s Direct Messages. \nDisconnected Touch\nDirected by Rani O’Brien\nDevised by and featuring Jazmine Cornielle\, Sophia Gutchinov\, and Dana Stern\nAdditional sound by Matthew Sells \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \n Howl! 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. Starting in the mid 80s\, 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 onstage 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. LMCC.net

SUMMARY:Cream-Pie-In-The-Phace Full Moon
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Hapi Phace in Praise of Philly \nWhen the moon hits your eye like a banana cream pie it’s…\nThe Full Moon Show: A Tom Murrin/Alien Comic Invention\nStarting at 7.18 Sharp\nCalling all dimensions! Join Hapi Phace for a moonrise non-linear performance pie-in-the-face ritual inspired by the memory of Philly Abe—his longtime art and life collaborator and neo-shamanistic a-go-go dance partner—to celebrate the Cream-Pie-In-The-Phace Full Moon\, in conjunction with the exhibit Philly Abe: This Side of Heaven (April 4–May 6\, 2018) at Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project. \nHapi Phace is a performance personality and tapR-mâché™—his proprietary “dry papier-mâché” method that employs cardboard and duct tape—sculptor from Queens. (Well\, actually\, he is from normal parents.) Hapi and Philly co-wrote and performed together—and in—each other’s pieces\, primarily during the 80s downtown nightclub scene. Later\, Hapi ventured into Way-Off-Broadway theater\, while Philly wove through multiple creative circles\, most prolifically with experimental and independent filmmakers\, especially The Kuchar brothers—George and Mike—and Todd Verow. \nPhilly Abe (1949-2018) was an iconic downtown personality\, artist\, tenants’ rights activist\, and decades-long Ridge Street neighbor of Tom Murrin\, the originator and omphalos of The Full Moon Show. Like Tom\, Philly’s artistic energies and output found outlet in the discarded and unnoticed. Both artists imagined rags\, remnants\, and refuse into an art form that spanned a universe from the slapstick to the shamanistic. \nDress Code: spontaneously-combustible color combinations; fairy wings\, demon horns and petroglyphic face paint; Tibetan skull anything; fun-fur ass-less leotards; black turtleneck sweater\, skull-and-crossbones-print ski pants\, and a Breton top; 80s 14th Street off-the-rack rubber chickens; non-binary mismatched socks and roadkill; come-as-you-are and leave-as-you-weren’t; rhinestones\, bustier\, and cat-eyed glasses. \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.

SUMMARY:The Poetry Project: The Inaugural Allen Ginsberg Symposium
DESCRIPTION:The Poetry Project\, Howl! Arts\, and the Allen Ginsberg Estate are proud to announce the inaugural Allen Ginsberg Symposium. \nFrom the mid-80s to the mid-90s\, The Poetry Project held an annual symposium that featured readings\, talks\, panels and workshops. This spring\, the Project is thrilled to reinvent this three-day event and expand its mission to provide a forum and network for our literary community. Allen Ginsberg saw the Project as a place where people could articulate their relationship to the most important national and global problems of the time\, and believed that the planet needed imagination and the avant-garde spirit of poetry to survive. \n“After the thrill of the 50th Anniversary celebration last year and another energetic New Year’s Day Marathon\, The Poetry Project looks forward to making the symposium an annual opportunity to bring poets together at the church\,” says executive director Stacy Szymaszek. \nFeaturing readings\, panel presentations\, and workshops by Anselm Berrigan\, Ken Chen\, Samuel R. Delany\, Adjua Gargi Nzinga Greaves\, Erica Hunt\, Rin Johnson\, Filip Marinovich\, Sharon Mesmer\, Lara Mimosa Montes\, Alice Notley\, Julie Ezelle Patton\, Trace Peterson\, Ed Sanders\, sam sax\, Patricia Spears Jones\, Anne Waldman\, and Rachel Zucker. \nAll events take place at St. Mark’s Church. Readings and panel are free. Workshops are sliding scale $20–$50.
