SUMMARY:Dean Lance: Mourn The Dead\, Fight Like Hell For The Living
DESCRIPTION:Lance is a Brooklyn-born video and visual artist whose work has been broadcast on PBS and screened at film festivals\, universities\, and museums internationally including MoMA\, MoCA\, and the New Museum\, He earned his BFA at the School of Visual Arts in 1980 and incorporates his training in animation into his imagery\, often composing his first draft through the viewfinder of a Polaroid. \nAs a lifelong New Yorker\, his work captures and celebrates the passion\, enthusiasm\, and energy of his fellow activists and the quest for basic human rights—documenting and creating a first-hand record of events that mark pivotal moments that might otherwise be forgotten. His longtime colleague Penny Arcade describes him as having “drawn his way through the AIDS crisis.” A veteran member of ACT UP’s DIVA TV (as in those “damned interfering video activists”)\, his award-winning video\, A Hard Reign’s Gonna Fall (Best Music Video\, Atlanta Film and Video Festival\, 1991) has been shown throughout the United States and internationally.

SUMMARY:Guy Woodard: We the People
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Wednesday\, June 19\, 6–8 PM \n  \nI’ve done so much with so little for so long that now I believe I can do anything with nothing at all. —Guy Woodard \nShowcasing a refined technique born of necessity\, Howl! Happening is pleased to present Guy Woodard’s We the People\, an exhibition that illuminates one artist’s work and world\, building a case for social justice and a contemporary dialogue around mass incarceration. \nHowl! is pleased to present Woodard’s series of evocative ballpoint pen drawings that frame deeply moving illustrations of black life. Also included in the exhibition will be forgeries of documents that point to issues relevant to contemporary art and social history\, including Tamir Rice’s police academy diploma and the diploma of Trayvon Martin from Howard University. \nA former counterfeiter and forger\, Woodard’s 20-year “criminal” career ended with a seven-year forced hiatus in a federal facility. Having aspired to be an artist his entire life\, he viewed his time in prison as an opportunity to perfect his craft. His bubble burst when the Federal Bureau of Prisons officer in charge of the arts-and-crafts department informed Woodard he wasn’t allowed oil paints or turpentine. “You’re supposed to be an artist. Learn to paint with something else\,” the officer taunted.  \nContemplating what he might use as a medium\, he noticed the tiny dots in an old\, grainy newspaper photograph. Inspired by the illustrators he saw in magazines growing up—among them Norman Rockwell and Maxfield Parrish—he began to approach his drawings like oil paintings\, applying his dots of ink in layers to create depth and rhythm. He taught himself to “paint” with a 25-cent Bic pen. What began as an act of defiance has enabled the artist to fulfill his love for detail and definition as no other medium could. \nIllustrating an alternative metaphor of contemporary American life\, Woodard’s subjects do not inhabit Rockwell’s ideal world. Rather his “maximinalist” realist paintings reflect and represent contemporary black life\, activism\, and culture. We the People\, the piece which names the exhibition\, illustrates a zero-tolerance case in which the court upheld the arrest and booking of a 12-year-old girl for eating a French fry on the Washington\, D.C. subway system\, where consuming food is prohibited by law. \n“Howl’s vision is to use art and creativity as an entry point to create dialogue around issues of social importance. Prison is dehumanizing\, but people find ways to express freedom\, to connect to their humanity\,” says Jane Friedman\, executive director of Howl! Happening.  \nA series of panel discussions and special events will delve into the prison industrial complex and the historical and contemporary conditions that create the necessity for prisons. Featured will be a panel on artmaking in prison with writer and Rutgers professor Nicole Fleetwood\, whose book Marking Time: Prison Art and Public Culture is scheduled for publication in February 2020. \n“Guy’s art is one example of what men and women inside prison can and do create every day\,” say Katherine Cheairs\, Howl’s director of education. \nWoodard will also lead an evening of artmaking as part of the free Vega Arts Workshop series on Wednesday\, July 10th from 7–9 PM.  \n  \nAbout the Vega Arts Workshop Series \nAs part of its continuing commitment to the community\, Howl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project presents the free Vega Arts Workshop Series\, an educational initiative designed to offer individuals access to the creative process\, and broaden opportunities to express themselves through the visual arts. Participants produce their own works of art through hands-on experiences with acclaimed artists working in varied disciplines. \nInspired by Arturo Vega’s legacy and spirit of generosity\, openness\, and forward thinking\, the Vega Arts Workshop Series speaks to Howl! Happening’s mission by recognizing that making connections between people and art generates new ideas and activates our community\, and that creative expression is a potent engine for change. For further information about the Vega Arts Workshop Series contact Katherine Cheairs\, director of education.

SUMMARY:Gay Sex in the 70s: A Film by Joseph Lovett
DESCRIPTION:Screening and Q&A \nSex had become the great equalizer. Young men of all financial strata and backgrounds met in New York to experience a freedom of sexual expression that hadn’t been known since ancient Rome. \nHowl! Happening and Some Serious Business are pleased to present the groundbreaking documentary film Gay Sex in the 70s. Directed by Joseph Lovett\, the film documents gay life in New York—from Greenwich Village to the Fire Island Pines—during the decade of liberation and sexual abandon following Stonewall and before the outbreak of AIDS. Gay men cruised the streets\, frequented gay bars\, and had loads and loads of sex. The film puts this outpouring of sexuality into perspective by looking at what gay life was like before 1969\, what set the stage for the explosion\, and how the political climate of the time influenced sexual expression. Lovett’s characters explore the experience that was ‘escaping to New York\,’ the reasons they left the cities they had spent their entire lives in\, and how things changed after the Sexual Revolution had begun. \nOnly 12 years after Stonewall\, AIDS brought this unprecedented era of sexual freedom to a close. The film combines archival footage and interviews with author and activist Larry Kramer\, photographer Tom Bianchi\, and others. The evening is introduced by Lovett with a Q&A following the screening. Howl! Happening is a member of the Stonewall 50 Consortium\, and the screening is part of the Stonewall 50th anniversary celebrations. \nAbout Joseph Lovett \nJoseph Lovett is an award-winning filmmaker who produced the first investigations on AIDS for ABC’s 20/20 and worked with many major networks. As an independent producer and director\, he has created various feature documentaries and over 35 hours of primetime specials. Lovett has been honored with the Peabody\, the AIDS Leadership\, the Christopher\, the Kitty Carlisle Hart\, and numerous other awards from advocacy organizations\, including an Emmy nomination. \nAbout Some Serious Business: The Artist Always Come First \nSome Serious Business incubates emergent expression in the arts\, germinates intrepid new works and ideas\, and presents diverse projects that celebrate audacity\, experimentation\, and social and cultural innovation. SSB supports hybrids and chimeras that traverse performance\, literature\, theater\, dance\, visual art\, moving image\, music\, architecture and design\, social practice\, and the intersection of art and social history.
