SUMMARY:Jane Dickson: HOT\, HOT\, HOT
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Thursday\, January 9th / 6-8 PM \nHowl! Happening: An Arturo Vega Project is pleased to present Jane Dickson’s Hot\, Hot\, Hot\, a series of rarely seen and moody paintings of Times Square peep shows from the 1980s. Dickson’s history and legacy are rooted in Times Square. She worked and lived there from 1978 to 2008 documenting her daily lived experiences and observations as a young woman. In photos\, drawings\, and paintings that utilize unconventional industrial and domestic materials as surfaces—including carpet\, sandpaper\, and black plastic bags—she captured a time and place that was notoriously lawless\, squalid\, and vibrantly alive. \n \nIn her essay for the exhibition catalog\, art historian Deborah Frizzell places Dickson as a critical witness and commentator on the effects of mass media on “perception and desire”: \nRooted in the street as a site for public intervention\, as a place to seek out alternative stories and ways of being\, Dickson works with the existing repertory of cultural imagery and reveals the slippage or difference prompted in the interplay of power and illusion in contemporary America\, particularly from a feminist perspective that has been ignored and erased from view. Rather than a smoothly polished verisimilitude or a crafted collage of fragments\, Dickson’s rough-cut method often disorients\, jars our senses\, and doubles the vertigo induced by obliquely angled perspectives or alternatively\, flattened peepholes and cubicles. \nWhile the specifics of live peep shows flaunting the broad spectrum of unenhanced bodies accepted in a pre-cosmetic-surgery era are now exotic\, and the live peeps are a historic artifact of the pre-internet universe\, the underlying dynamics of power and vulnerability and the stark divide between who works and who pays remain as relevant as ever. \nThe exhibition follows the success of the Anthology Press monograph Jane Dickson in Times Square\, published in 2019; the exhibition All That Is Solid Melts into Air at James Fuentes Gallery; and the Whitney Museum’s purchase of Dobbs Hats\, one of her key early Times Square paintings. To further contextualize her work\, the exhibition includes a fully illustrated catalog with essays by Sara Rosen\, Deborah Frizzell\, Carlo McCormick\, and David Kiehl. \n \nA part of the politically charged 80s scene of artists working at the intersection of street art\, hip hop\, film\, and installation—like David Wojnarowicz\, Keith Haring\, Jenny Holzer\, and her filmmaker husband Charlie Ahearn—Dickson was a member of the influential artist collectives Colab (Collaborative Projects) and Fashion Moda in the South Bronx. She was one of the organizers of the now legendary Times Square Show\, for which she created the poster with Charlie Ahearn and a and digital animation that ran hourly on the Spectacolor sign at 1 Times Square\, the first computerized lightboard in New York. This groundbreaking digital installation led Dickson to initiate the Messages to the Public series in 1981 with the Public Art Fund\, presenting a series of animated artworks on the billboards of Times Square and bringing first public attention to her friends Keith Haring\, Jenny Holzer\, David Hammons\, and Crash among others. \nIn 1980 Dickson created City Maze\, an installation designed for school children at Fashion Moda\, the art space in the South Bronx founded by Stefan Eins\, which became a platform for the burgeoning hip-hop and graffiti movements. https://youtu.be/OmN4f2_Lmvc \nBeyond Times Square\, Dickson’s focus has encompassed other facets of the contemporary architecture of distraction: demolition derbies\, carnivals\, casinos\, strip malls\, and highways\, utilizing industrial materials such as AstroTurf\, sandpaper\, vinyl\, and felt\, for both their tactile qualities and their associations. \nIn 2008 Dickson created a beloved series of 68 life-size mosaic figures of New Year’s Eve revelers installed in the Times Square subway station. Dickson’s work has been widely exhibited nationally and internationally\, and is included in the collections of more than 30 museums including The Whitney Museum of American Art\, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and The Museum of Modern Art. In 2016\, The National Portrait Gallery–Smithsonian Institution acquired her portrait of Fab 5 Freddy from 1983\, where it is currently on display. In 2018\, the Whitney acquired Dobb’s Hats (1981)\, a historically essential example of the female gaze in New York City—the city at night and the sex trade. \nImages(top to bottom) \nJane Dickson\, “Live Girls 2” 2001\, Oil stick on Emory Cloth\, 18 x 18 in. \nJane Dickson\, “Chippendales”\, 1993\, Oil and rol-a-tex on canvas\, 69 x 123 in \nJane Dickson\, “Peep Couple”\, 1994\, Oil stick on emory cloth on wood\, 8 x 8 in

SUMMARY:Full Moon "Late" Show!
DESCRIPTION:John Pizza: How does it Feel to Die Via Jellyfish\nHapi Phace: La Fête du Cœur Blessé\n  \nCelebrating the birth month of the Godfather of Performance Art\, Alien Comic Tom Murrin\, this special edition of the Full Moon Show brings together friends of Luna Macaroona: Hapi Phace\, and rising star John Pizza. TAKE NOTE: It’s a double-header “Late Show” starting at 7 p.m. in the gallery. It’s the Snow Moon; dress accordingly. \nHapi Phace and his Karload of Klowns—Jorge Clar\, Gail Thacker\, and Joan Marie Moossy—present La Fête du Cœur Blessé\, a full moon ritual about the recuperative\, regenerative\, and remarkable metaphorical powers of the heart…dedicated with love and gratitude to Tom Murrin\, Full Moon Show founder. \nJohn Pizza brings his inimitable style and humor to How Does It Feel to Die via Jellyfish. As sure as we are born\, we die\, and that’s fascinating. But what does it feel like to pass away…to climb a blue volcanic mountain into the depths of the rejuvenating ocean? John Pizza presents his full moon show while we visualize stories told by the ghosts of bodies once living…stories so freshly dead they linger upon human-shaped lips like flickering sardines caught among the sticky tendrils of a jellyfish. \nHapi Phace is a non-specific-media artist whose 40-year career as a performance personality and prop maker is rooted at The Pyramid Club in New York City—where he honed and became known for his extemporaneous spoken-word emcee style. He currently resides in Massachusetts\, where he works as a gardener. He is the founder of the Karload of Klowns performance/happening troupe of intermedia artists who come together to participate in live-art during his forays to New York City. \nJohn Pizza is a performer\, builder\, and drawer. He uses trash and thrift-store detritus scrounged in his Brooklyn neighborhood to tell stories and make his shows. He loves the macabre and the mushy sweet. His sculptures are performative\, and his performances involve sculptures—an object theatre of weird surprises. \nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nThe late Tom Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic\, is known as the Godfather of Performance Art. His full moon shows delivered a new genre of performance with his irreverent and hilarious performance tactics which included props and costumes invented with street objects. Tom performed the Full Moon Show in honor of his moon goddess\, Luna Macaroona. His magical and absurdly wild variety shows would always include his  friends —pushing the careers of such groundbreaking artists as David Cale\, David Sedaris\, Amy Sedaris\, Blue Man Group\, Ethyl Eichelberger\, Lisa Kron\, and many others. Howl! Happening’s monthly series continues that tradition\, with performances in the gallery and surprise pop-up performances on the street.

SUMMARY:Jane Dickson in Times Square
DESCRIPTION:Book Signing and Discussion\nJane Dickson’s world is one that comes to life when the rest of us are fast asleep—a nighttime mix of tawdry carnival booths and tattoo parlors\, darkened highways and casino gamblers.—Katie White\, Artnet\, September 2019 \nCoinciding with Dickson’s exhibition Hot\, Hot\, Hot: Paintings of Times Square Peep Shows\, Howl is pleased to host a book signing\, slide show\, and discussion with editor Johan Kugelberg for her critically acclaimed book\, Jane Dickson in Times Square\, published by Anthology Editions. \nDickson is a deep-rooted and central voice in New York City’s complex creative history. In the late 1970s and early 80s\, she was part of the movement joining the legacies of downtown art\, punk rock\, and hip hop through her involvement with the Colab art collective\, the Fashion Moda gallery\, and legendary exhibitions including the Real Estate Show and Times Square Show. In the midst of this groundbreaking work\, Dickson lived\, worked\, and raised two children in an apartment on 43rd Street and 8th Avenue\, at a time when the neighborhood was at its most infamous\, crime-ridden\, and spectacularly seedy. Through it all\, Jane photographed\, drew\, and painted extraordinary scenes of life in Times Square. \nThese works\, many of which are reproduced in the book for the first time\, include candid documentary snapshots\, roughly vibrant charcoal sketches\, and paintings created on surfaces ranging from sandpaper to Brillo pads. Featuring a foreword by Chris Kraus\, Jane Dickson in Times Square is a time machine back to a New York City that was truly wild: lawless\, manic\, sometimes squalid\, sometimes magnificent.
