SUMMARY:Zeitgeist: The Art Scene of Teenage Basquiat
DESCRIPTION:An Exhibition and Special Events\nCurated by Sara Driver\, Carlo McCormick\, Mary-Ann Monforton and Howl! Happening \nOpening Sunday\, May 13\, 2018 / 6–8 PM / Free \nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to announce Zeitgeist: The Art Scene of Teenage Basquiat\, a group exhibition focusing on the artists and scene around Jean-Michel Basquiat’s teen-aged\, pre-fame years. Curated by Howl! Happening\, Sara Driver\, Carlo McCormick\, and Mary-Ann Monforton\, Zeitgeist complements and amplifies the theatrical release of Sara Driver’s film BOOM FOR REAL The Late Teenage Years of Jean-Michel Basquiat from Magnolia Pictures. The film premieres on May 11th at IFC\, New York. \nThe period covered in the exhibition and film tells the story of Jean-Michel’s early work\, peers\, and creative community in gritty\, pre-AIDS\, downtown New York—before the rise of the 80s art and real estate juggernaut. It was a time when decay\, drugs\, and dissolution fueled a boom in creativity where the definition of fame\, success\, and power was not based on money\, Facebook likes\, and self-promotion. For these creators\, to be a penniless published poet or a musician gigging at CBs was the height of success. In the rawness of the work\, the focus on street art and graffiti\, and the experimentation and cross-pollination of styles and disciplines\, the era has become a flash point for younger generations seeking to learn about and understand the authenticity\, closeness\, and community expressed in the work of the artists in Zeitgeist. \nThe exhibition—and a series of special events—illuminate Basquiat’s work and that of his friends and other artists\, writers\, filmmakers\, and musicians who emerged from that scene\, including: \nAlexis Adler\, Charlie Ahearn\, Ted Barron\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Philippe Bordaz\, Robert Carrithers\, Henry Chalfant\, Brett De Palma\, Vivienne Dick\, Jane Dickson\, Al Diaz\, Barbara Ess\, Coleen Fitzgibbon\, Fab 5 Freddy\, Futura\, Robert Goldman aka Bobby G\, Godlis\, Nan Goldin\, Richard\, Hambleton\, Michael Holman\, Becky Howland\, Tessa Hughes-Freeland\, Jim Jarmusch\, Justen\, Ladda\, Ann Messner\, Mary-Ann Monforton\, James Nares\, Glenn O’Brien\, Franc Palaia\, Lee Quiñones\, Walter Robinson\, Christy Rupp\, Luc Sante\, Kenny Scharf\, Paul Tschinkel\, Robin Winters\, and Bob Gruen. \nSpecial events will include: \n\nA panel discussion featuring Alexis Adler\, Felice Rosser\, Lee Quiñones\, Al Diaz\, and more\nA screening of Howard Brookner’s 1983 documentary Burroughs: The Movie from the Criterion Collection\nAn evening of films featuring an experimental film by Basquiat’s bandmate Michael Holman\, and Paul Tschinkel’s film about New York/New Wave\, curator Diego Cortez’s groundbreaking exhibition at PS1 in 1981\nA night performance and readings by Felice Rosser and Luc Sante.\nReadings\n\nFilm Series in collaboration with Anthology Film Archives. Anthology Film Archives will present a special\, 2-part film series to celebrate the Zeitgeist exhibition at Howl! and the release of Boom for Real. Part 1 (May 4-14) brings together a selection of films about or involving Basquiat\, as well as works that came out of the same era and milieu. For Part 2 (May 17-29)\, various participants in Boom for Real will guest-select films from the period that they feel have been overlooked\, or simply films that influenced their own work. Curators include Sara Driver\, Charlie Ahearn\, Coleen Fitzgibbon\, Fab 5 Freddy\, Tessa Hughes-Freeland\, Jim Jarmusch\, James Nares\, Lee Quinones\, Felice Rosser\, and Luc Sante.

SUMMARY:Full Moon Show with Rani O'Brien
DESCRIPTION:A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAMMACHINE \nby Rani O’Brien \nBroken to pieces from the classic comic tale by Shakespeare\, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAMMACHINE is the story of life in the dystopian 2019 Verona – or Athens – or Gilead – or America\, depending on how you look at it. We follow virile teenager Helena Baker as she navigates her place in (and out) of this world\, the mechanicals as they put on the play “Alien Comic and Luna Macaroona\,” and watch as the king and the queen of this dystopian dream land fight over ballot codes. Taking broken inspiration from Hamletmachine\, SEAGULLMACHINE\, pop idols\, Shakespeare tragedies\, dystopian TV shows\, and Tom Murrin\, A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAMMACHINE asks: Can we love and live in the face of manipulation? Will off off off off off (times infinity) Broadway productions ever be taken seriously? Can a can of Campbell’s tomato soup save the world? \nDirected and written by Rani O’Brien \nFeaturing Saturday Lawson\, Julia Mack\, Laura Menzie\, Adam Munoz\, Fenny Novyane\, Danielle Ruth and Alejandro Valeriano de la Sen

SUMMARY:Michael Holman: An Evening of Films & Discussion with David Hershkovits
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening is pleased to present a screening of Michael Holman’s short art films and a discussion with David Hershkovits as part of the exhibition Zeitgeist: The Art Scene of Teenage Basquiat\, which looks at the Downtown and East Village scenes where the young artist left his indelible mark. The films attest to the important role Holman played in shaping the look\, sound\, and flavor of the early 80s downtown art scene in New York City. Stilwende—or\, a changing wind or time in German—is a short film that captures construction workers as they gut the Tribeca club Tier III and transform it into a Bauhaus-inspired\, minimalistic club called Stilwende. \nHolman’s Catch a Beat was the first hip hop film ever made. Finished in 1981\, it aired at The Ritz on East 11th Street as an opening act for the Zulu Nation Throwdown (DJ Afrika Bambaataa\, DJ Jazzy Jay\, the Rock Steady Crew\, and MC Ikey Cee) who were themselves the opening act for the evening’s headliner\, Bow Wow Wow. \nHolman will also screen his 1987 Paulette Goddard Award-winning short film Heads\, You Win\, starring Coati Mundi (of Dr. Buzzard’s Original Savannah Band and Kid Creole and the Coconuts) and Suzanne Mallouk (co-author of the novel Widow Basquiat). Another Vincent Gallo\, Michael Holman\, and Suzanne Mallouk collaboration is the short film Vampire LeStat\, an exploration into horror. \nAlso included in the screening are Holman’s never-broadcasted experimental TV commercials\, which he calls his “ignorant ads.” Holman uses his own source footage\, combining it with random real-and-existing corporate logos to create absurdist versions of TV ads. \nOne of the most important films to be shown will be The Subjective Gaze\, created by Holman to be screened during his debut MoMA live performance The Subjective Gaze\, Parts 1 & 2.  \nThe films will be followed by a discussion and Q&A with Holman and David Hershkovits about Holman’s work\, the environment—time and place—of the early 80s\, the Downtown scene\, and the direction of the cultural climate today. \n  \nAbout David Hershkovits \nAfter moving back to New York City in 1977\, David Hershkovits embedded himself in the downtown scene as a writer and editor of the Soho Weekly News. In 1984\, he was a founder of Paper magazine where he served as publisher and editor-in-chief for the next 33 years. \nIn 1982 he was the only reporter on the New York City rap tour that introduced hip hop culture to France and England. He was on the bus along with iconic figures of today that included Afrika Bambaataa\, DST\, Fab 5 Freddy\, Dondi\, Futura\, Ramellzee\, Phase 2\, The Rock Steady Crew with Crazy Legs and the Double Dutch Girls. \nHe is the host of the forthcoming Howlarts podcast “In the Beginning…” And an adjunct professor at CUNY/Queens College where he is teaching a graduate class on the role of media in the evolution of 70s\, 80s and 90s counterculture in New York City. \n  \nAbout Michael Holman \nA New York resident since 1978\, Michael Holman has been a creative and cultural force within\, as well as ambassador of this great city for 40 years. \nAs an artist and social observer\, back in the early 80s\, Holman captured unforgettable moments on film and video of a powerful new subculture called hip hop. As a true hip hop pioneer\, Holman worked diligently through his numerous published writings\, interviews\, film and television productions\, and public events to propel the culture onto the global stage and was the first writer to officially use the term hip hop in a publication (East Village Eye\, January 1982). \nHolman was responsible for organizing and personally managing two of the most popular hip hop dance crews in history—the Rock Steady Crew and the New York City Breakers. Among many other accomplishments in hip hop culture\, Holman created\, produced\, and hosted Graffiti Rock (starring Run DMC and Kool Moe Dee)\, the first nationally-syndicated hip hop television show. \nHolman\, along with artist Jean-Michel Basquiat\, formed the experimental band Gray\, producing layered avant-garde music in combination with performance art and living\, sonic sculpture. Gray performed at legendary nightclubs such as CBGB\, Hurrah\, Club USA\, Tier III\, and The Mudd Club in the early 80s. Recent performances include shows at (Le) Poisson Rouge\, Brooklyn Academy of Music (with Questlove of The Roots)\, Corcoran Gallery of Art\, and the New Museum. \nThe film Gray\, Live at the New Museum was shown at Art Basel Miami Beach; at the opening of the new Parrish Museum building in Water Mill\, Long Island; and at the International Beethoven Festival in Chicago. \nAs a visual artist\, Holman has exhibited his paintings and fine art videos in important group shows such as the Spring/Break Art Show (in 2015 and 2017). In 2018\, a solo show of his paintings was exhibited at the Massey Klein Gallery in New York City. \nAs a performance artist\, Holman presented Confessions of a Subculturalist at the Bruno Walter Auditorium of The New York Public Library Jerome Robbins Dance Division (2017)\, and The Subjective Gaze at MoMA (2018). \nAs a filmmaker\, Holman wrote the screenplay to Miramax’s Julian Schnabel feature film Basquiat; wrote\, produced\, and directed children’s programming for Nickelodeon\, including the Ace Award-winning Blue’s Clues and Eureeka’s Kastle; produced and directed numerous award-winning MTV music videos; and taught screenwriting and filmmaking at Howard University\, The New School for Social Research\, the School of Visual Arts\, City College of New York and other institutions of higher learning.

SUMMARY:Al Diaz and Brett De Palma: A Conversation
