SUMMARY:Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt: Tenemental (With Sighs Too Deep for Words)
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, November 16\, 6–9 PM \nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project in cooperation with Pavel Zoubok Fine Art is pleased to present Tenemental (With Sighs Too Deep for Words)\, a survey of works by pioneering artist and Stonewall veteran Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt (b. 1948). Enduring some five decades—and continuing to influence subsequent generations of artists—Lanigan-Schmidt has evolved a wholly unique visual language of reflection and refraction. With sources ranging from Byzantine iconography to contemporary kitsch\, he incorporates dazzling alternative materials such as tinsel\, Mylar\, foil\, cellophane\, plastic wrap\, household staples\, and glitter into densely layered mixed media constructions and environments. \nBeyond their glitzy surfaces\, his works point knowingly to the complex intersections of sexuality\, class\, and religion. Featured in the exhibition is his poignant autobiographical installation Mysterium Tremendum (late 1980s)\, consisting of 125 baking pans adorned with paintings and the handwritten tale of an altar boy named Willie—who falls in love with a boy\, is then bullied and beaten to near death\, contemplates suicide\, and finally finds the strength to live through artmaking. Interwoven throughout the exhibition will be his luminous towers\, homoerotic Knick Knacks\, and intricate Venetian Glass works\, along with timeless ephemera in the form of handwritten flyers\, photo-booth portraits\, and direct source materials\, illuminating the breath of his work and life. \nIn anticipation of the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall rebellion\, Tenemental honors Lanigan-Schmidt’s unique contribution to both the language of art and continued struggle for LGBTQ liberation. The exhibition is accompanied by a full-color catalog with essays by Dan Cameron\, Carlo McCormick\, Agosto Machado\, and Roger Wieck\, and well as an interview with Jonathan Weinberg \nThomas Lanigan-Schmidt is represented in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, Whitney Museum of American Art\, MoMA\, Brooklyn Museum\, Ludwig Forum für Internationale Kunst\, Ackland Art Museum\, and Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art\, among others. He has exhibited extensively throughout the United States and Europe\, including the 1980 and 1984 Venice Biennales\, the 1991 Whitney Biennial\, and the 1999 exhibition The American Century at the Whitney Museum. \nLanigan-Schmidt has been an instructor in the MFA program of the School of Visual Arts in New York City since the mid 80s and has served on the governing board of the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in Maine since 1992. In 2011\, he was the recipient of the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Biennial grant and in 2017 received awards from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, and the National Academy of Design. In June 2009\, Lanigan-Schmidt was honored at the White House by President Barack Obama for his courageous participation in the 1969 Stonewall rebellion\, and in 2016 he was the keynote speaker when the Stonewall Inn became a national monument. Lanigan-Schmidt was the subject of the critically acclaimed 2012 retrospective Tender Love Among the Junk at MoMA PS1\, curated by Peter Eleey. \n  \nTHOMAS LANIGAN-SCHMIDT\nDay Time\, Nite Light\, Solitary Drinker (detail)\, c. 1975\nFoil\, plastic\, plastic wrap\, light bulb\, Magic Marker\, wood\, and staples\n39 x 28 x 18 inches \nCollection of Anita Grossman Solomon \n  \nTHOMAS LANIGAN-SCHMIDT\nMysterium Tremendum (detail)\, late 1980s\n125 pans: mixed media on aluminum trays

SUMMARY:Howl! Arts Presents: Jackie Factory's Low Life 8
DESCRIPTION:Low Life 8: Fairytale of New York at the Pyramid\n  \nThe much-missed Jackie Factory spectacular Low Life returns this holiday season for its eighth edition\, newly at the iconic Pyramid Club on Avenue A. Presented by East Village Arts instigator Howl! Arts\, Low Life 8 imagines the holidays in a century of East Village/Bowery dives and clubs\, from McGurk’s Suicide Hall to the Pyramid itself.\n\nProducers Chi Chi Valenti and Johnny Dynell promise a star-studded bill spanning generations and performance cults: Pyramid and Jackie 60 eminence Hattie Hathaway aka Brian Butterick\, butoh stars Vangeline Theater as Klaus Nomi and company\, queens of burlesque Dirty Martini and Cassandra Rosebeetle saluting Bowery vaudeville and vipers\, drag icon Sherry Vine\, choreographer/dancer Danielle Marie Fusco creating the title number\, thesbian Heather Litteer\, rising EV performance star Bobbie\, dark diva Poison Eve imagining Tanya Ransom as Nina Hagen\, and more. Jackie MC Paul Alexander will preside with Valenti\, and Pyramid/Jackie DJ Johnny Dynell spins between show sets and for a Jackie 60-style dance party afterwards.\n\nThe Jackie Factory created Low Life in 2007 as the closing show for the annual Howl! Festival in Tompkins Square Park. Inspired by the seminal Luc Sante book Low Life: The Lures and Snares of Old New York\, these big stage extravaganzas at Howl! Festival (2007-2013) continued a body of work born at the seminal Meatpacking District nightclub Jackie 60 @ Mother in 1997. For this indoor revamp\, two show sets will celebrate the Bowery haunts from the 1880s to the Roaring Twenties (Act One\, 9:30 PM) and The East Village Eighties/Pyramid Club (Act Two\, 11:30 PM).\n\nThe time travel quotient will be high—in some cases a performer will be recreating a moment that actually happened on the same stage three decades earlier! Veteran visitors will experience a Pyramid Club that is hauntingly familiar—virtually unchanged from the 1980s and still cash only—but with new bathrooms and excellent sound. For the show’s producers Valenti and Dynell\, East Village residents for three decades\, this holiday spectacular is a true present to and by the neighborhood’s past\, present and future stars.\n\n25% of door proceeds will benefit Howl! HELP (Howl! Emergency Life Project)\, a safety net for artists that provides emergency financial assistance and social service support in partnership with The Actors Fund. \nThe Pyramid\n101 Avenue A\, NYC\nDoors open at 8:30 PM\, show starts at 9:30 PM \nTickets: $15 in advance\, $20 at door\nTickets from dance party only (starts at midnight): $10\nBuy tickets: https://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3899390 \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Through the Looking Glass: Scooter LaForge & Brett De Palma at NADA Miami
DESCRIPTION:Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present Through the Looking Glass\, an installation of fearless and masterful paintings by Brett De Palma and Scooter LaForge. Through the Looking Glass marries two important painters’ vivid interpretations of our current upside down and bewildering world. Paralleling Lewis Carroll’s phantasmagorical satire that so poignantly skewered Victorian England\, De Palma and LaForge’s layered allegorical paintings ridicule\, expose\, and critique the foolishness\, corruption\, vices\, and villains in society around them.  \nDe Palma and LaForge blend seamlessly in this installation. De Palma’s large painted tarp propels a visual narrative overlaid with LaForge’s metaphors. Their collaborative work breaks out of stylistic conventions to forge dense new visual territory. In a world with an overabundance of fear\, anger\, and inequity\, their psychedelic tapestry offers humorous critique and laughter as a way to build consensus and community for our absurd times. December 6–9\, 2018 / NADA Miami / Booth 10.26  \n  \nBrett De Palma Through the Looking Glass\, Darkly \nBrett De Palma’s large (9 x 16’) painted tarp\, Through the Looking Glass\, Darkly\, mirrors the epic Lewis Carroll satirical novel Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland in an American context. In this updated version\, Alice experiences\, as if in a dream\, an American political ecosystem from RFK’s assassination to Trump’s balloon of tweets\, while a giant raven floats over a world of imperial monarchy.   \n  \nOn the other side of the mirror\, Alice moves with the sleep of reason through the stages of aging\, both of the individual as well as empire. This absurd tale about the confusion produced by authoritarian upside down and backwards logic reveals parallels between then and now. With brash color and Pollock-like drips over two worlds of stars and stripes and a checkered ground\, the poetic painting appears like an unsolved jigsaw puzzle\, confusing time and space and morphing style and scale. Brimming with the menace of friendly monsters such as the Jabberwock and Humpty Dumpty\, Alice is heroically tested in an empire of would-be kings and queens.  \n  \nAfter passing through trials of nonsense and disorientation\, Alice becomes queen. This empowerment may be an illusion only obtainable in a fantasy world—leaving the viewer wondering if “life is but a dream.” \n  \nScooter LaForge \nSimilarly\, for LaForge\, fairy tales and allegory dance together in works that draw from such diverse sources as Mannerist and old master paintings\, comic books\, cartoons\, and pop culture. Like all good fairy tales\, his paintings may first appear funny\, playful\, and light. But appearances can be deceiving. What is below their richly painted surfaces can be very sinister indeed.  \n  \nA mash-up of huge expressionist gestures against impossibly delicate paint handling\, La Forge’s paintings are both powerful and exquisitely finessed. And like the Mannerists who created their own aesthetic while commenting on the social upheaval in 16th century Venice\, LaForge’s new body of work is informed by current events—a fantasy of imaginary creatures and magic—full of ambiguity and dreamlike visions that invoke pleasure by their painterly appeal\, but also an edge of danger or menace that mirrors the tension of living on the dark side of troubling times. \n  \nNADA Miami / December 6–9\, 2018 / Booth 10.26\nIce Palace Studios\, 1400 North Miami Avenue  \n  \nVIP Preview by Invitation: Thursday\, December 6\, 10 AM–2 PM\nOpening Preview by Invitation: Thursday\, December 6\, 12–2 PM\n\nOpen to the Public\nThursday\, December 6\, 2–7 PM\nFriday\, December 7\, 11 AM–7 PM\nSaturday\, December 8\, 11 AM–7 PM\nSunday\, December 9\, 11 AM–5 PM\n\nThe New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) is the definitive non-profit arts organization dedicated to the cultivation\, support\, and advancement of new voices in contemporary art. newartdealers.org

SUMMARY:Queer Butoh 2018
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Hector Canonge\, Tina Zoccoli Mayers\, and Will Atkins \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present Queer Butoh 2018\, curated by Mee Ae Caughey\, Davey Mitchell\, and Vangeline for the New York Butoh Institute/Vangeline Theater. \n“Butoh is essentially the dance of the marginalized\, and the LGBTQ population is still largely marginalized in the world\,” says Vangeline France\, co-curator of this series. \nAt its origin\, the introduction of butoh in Japan was widely controversial. The first butoh performance\, Kinjiki (Forbidden Colors)\, created by Tatsumi Hijikata in 1958\, shocked Japanese audiences. Inspired by the work of French author Jean Genet\, Kinjiki took its name and inspiration from Yukio Mishima’s book Forbidden Colors and dealt with homosexuality—a profoundly taboo subject at the time. \nPLEASE NOTE: THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES MINOR BLOODLETTING AND MAY NOT SUITABLE FOR CHILDREN OR SENSITIVE VIEWERS. \nPerformances include: \nWILL ATKINS: La Sangre  \nLa Sangre is a piece illuminating the ideas of violence and phobia in the queer community\, utilizing body piercing and butoh to challenge the stigma of HIV. Gauged piercing needles will be used to add another textural dimension\, along with the performer’s body. The live imagery of blood and butoh together recalls violent history towards the queer community while honoring what connects us as humans. This work also incorporates elements of drag; the performer embraces blurring gender roles in the freedom butoh offers. \nHECTOR CANONGE: Camarada \nCamarada\, a new solo performance by Hector Canonge\, evokes the complex\nbonds that men create with one another and the various codes they generate to express their longings and desires. The performance also explores notions of maleness and ideas about being or becoming a “real man.” Through actions intertwined with butoh Dance\, Canonge continues his exploration of corporal expression and somatic experimentation. \nTINA ZOCCOLI MAYERS: S/he or S/hekinah \nTina’s solo is an amalgamation of sound\, text\, and theater performance. Weaving together excerpts from Sylvia Plath\, Naomi Klein\, Saul Williams\, and Tina’s own poetry and prose\, the audio soundscape traces the emergence of the queer artist through the passageways of historical censorship and erasure—into rebirth as trans male\, female\, and androgyne. This butoh piece grieves and memorializes the censored histories of queer persons\, including the persecution and execution of gays and communists through the Nazi Holocaust\, McCarthyism\, witch hunts\, and other forms of dehumanization. Tina explores the resensitization of the trans-feminine body through neural\, masculine chemistries and devotions. Gender-troubling and nonconforming\, the artist spiritualizes metamorphosis in the context of the Hebrew black goddess Shekinah—also known as the Arabic Sakinah—warrior and priest bearing God’s peace of mind and pure consciousness. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nThe Vangeline Theater has been a leader in the development of contemporary butoh dance since its founding in 2002. Informed by the expansive vision of pioneering choreographer Vangeline\, the theater group brings to life a timeless and uniquely American style of butoh that continually captivates audiences. The Vangeline Theater is home to the New York Butoh Institute\, dedicated to providing superior butoh training to our community. The institute focuses on the advancement of butoh in the 21st century\, with special emphasis on scientific research as it relates to butoh dance. www.vangeline.com
