SUMMARY:Curt Hoppe Downtown Portraits
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: April 24\, 2019 / 6–9 PM / Free\n  \nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to showcase the work of Curt Hoppe\, an artist whose work amplifies and illustrates Howl’s dedication to preserving the past and celebrating the contemporary culture of the East Village and Lower East Side. Downtown Portraits explores Hoppe’s work as a photographer and realist painter—penetrating layers of cultural history to reveal the changing faces of the neighborhood. The 105 photographs in the series will be shown at Howl!\, while 20 larger-than-life paintings will be shown at Frank Bernarducci Gallery. \nHoppe\, a realist painter and photographer\, has enjoyed a successful 40-year career driven by meaningful relationships with pioneering downtown creators. While many of the artists\, writers\, musicians\, activists\, and art entrepreneurs appearing in the photographs that make up the series at Howl! are now well known\, this project is conceived not as a hall of fame but as personal homage. Hoppe has been inspired not only by his subject’s youthful achievements but also by their lifelong perseverance and creativity. These are definitely not images of beautiful young creatives\, but rather visions of determined survivors who continue to influence our culture.  \n“It all started with Arturo\,” says Hoppe of the late Arturo Vega\, his longtime friend. Howl! will also feature Hoppe’s larger-than-life painting of Vega—who was not only the source of inspiration for Howl! Happening—but also Hoppe’s first portrait in the Downtown Portraits series. \nWhat began with one large realist painting has become an all-consuming project that Hoppe has pursued for nine years. As a long-time denizen of downtown New York\, Hoppe pays tribute to the core group of artists who offered him friendship and direction when he first arrived in the city in the mid-70s and who continue to inspire and define him today\, both as artist and member of a vibrant and enduring creative community.    \n“I want this exhibition to be forward-looking\,” he says. “These artists found a way to survive and to thrive\, and their wisdom continues to have a profound impact on today’s culture. We’re cooler now than we were back then. Our lives are on our faces.” The famous hang side by side with unsung heroes. His project is not about vanity or celebrity or self-promotion\, but rather\, like a yearbook of friends one hung with\, learned from\, and created mischief with\, the show traces the lines of connection of some of the most influential creators of our time including John and Charlie Ahearn\, Penny Arcade\, Patti Astor\, Beth B\, James Chance\, Diego Cortez\, Brett DePalma\, Jane Dickson\, Coleen Fitzgibbon\, Richard Hambleton\, John Holmstrom\, Lady Pink\, Arto Lindsay\, Colette Lumíère\, Tom Otterness\, Walter Robinson\, Marcia Resnick\, and Robin Winters\, among others. \nThe accompanying catalog\, featuring the photographs and paintings along with essays by Marc H. Miller and Walter Robinson\, among others\, examines the cultural themes and community that were the hallmark of downtown New York in the 70s and 80s.   \nImage: Arturo Vega with his portrait– Acrylic on Canvas \n  \nAbout Curt Hoppe \nhttps://museumofnonvisibleart.com/interviews/curt-hoppe/ \nhttp://www.itchysilk.com/curt-hoppe-journeys-into-hype \n

SUMMARY:Phyllis Galembo: Mexico\, Masks & Rituals
DESCRIPTION:Book Launch and Slide Show \nHowl! Happening is pleased to host a book signing and party to celebrate the launch of Phyllis Galembo: Mexico\, Masks & Rituals. For this project\, Galembo turns her lens to the astounding mask cultures of Mexico. Images from the new book will be projected throughout the evening\, allowing party-goers a unique preview of the book in a festive setting. Published by Radius Books/D.A.P. \nMore about Mexico\, Masks & Rituals: \nSince 1985\, photographer Phyllis Galembo has traveled extensively to photograph sites of ritual dress in Africa and the Caribbean. In her latest body of work\, collected in this new publication\, Galembo turns to Mexico\, where she captures cultural performances with a subterranean political edge. Using a direct\, unaffected portrait style\, Galembo captures her subjects informally posed but often strikingly attired in traditional or ritualistic dress.\n\nMasking is a complex tradition in which the participants transcend the physical world and enter the spiritual realm. Masks\, costumes and body paint transform the human body and encode a rich range of political\, artistic\, theatrical\, social and religious meanings on the body. In her vibrant color photographs\, Galembo highlights the artistry of the performers\, how they use materials from their immediate environment to morph into a fantastical representation of themselves and an idealized vision of a mythical figure. In a gorgeous\, fascinating photographic survey of Mexico’s masking practices\, Galembo captures her subjects suspended between past\, present and future\, with their religious\, political and cultural affiliations—their personal and collective identifications—displayed on their bodies.
