SUMMARY:Hero in Art—The Vanished Traces of Richard Hambleton by Istvan Kantor
DESCRIPTION:Published on Hambleton’s Birthday by Howl! Arts and Autonomedia \n“I was alive when I died.…That’s the problem.”  \n—Richard Hambleton \nCLICK HERE to purchase a book. \nIn honor of his birthday on June 23rd\, Howl Arts is pleased to announce the publication of Hero in Art—The Vanished Traces of Richard Hambleton. Hambleton is best remembered as the visionary artist who created guerilla public artworks\, notably his iconic Shadowman series of black painted silhouettes that mysteriously appeared on buildings throughout Manhattan in the early 80s. Though he never viewed himself as a “street” artist\, he is nonetheless seen as a progenitor of the movement. A contemporary of Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat\, he was one of the principal players of the new wave of visual artists that erupted in New York’s early 80s East Village and Lower East Side art scenes. Foreword by Anthony Haden Guest. Co-published by Howl Arts and Autonomedia. \n“I painted the town black\,” Mr. Hambleton told People magazine in 1984. “[The figures] could represent watchmen or danger or the shadows of a human body after a nuclear holocaust or even my own shadow.” \nIn this biographical novel\, author Istvan Kantor (AKA Monty Cantsin\, the founder of Neoism and long-time friend of Richard Hambleton)\, tells the story of the enigmatic artist who frustrated and inspired those around him. Through personal experiences and recollections by those who knew him. Subjects include Michael O’Connell\, Franc Palaia\, Howie Seligman\, Eileen Doster\, Hank O’Neil\, Oren Jacoby\, Clayton Patterson\, Julius Klein\, Linus Coraggio\, Tom Warren\, Blake Sandberg\, Hugo Ariz\, David Zack\, Pat Ivers\, Rick Librizzi\, Nemo Librizzi\, and Mike Malbon\, as well as romantic partners and other friends of Hambleton’s. \nFused into a dramatically flowing narrative\, Kantor reports on the art and times of Hambleton with honesty\, passion and audacity—from his arrival in New York determined to become the “next Duchamp”\, his rise to the heights of art world society\, and his tortured decline. \n‘Richard Hambleton’ by Curt Hoppe\nAbout Richard Hambleton \nBorn on June 23\, 1952 in Vancouver\, Canada\, Hambleton studied at the Vancouver School of Art before beginning his Image Mass Murder series in 1976. These works mimicked the look of chalk outlines used by police during crime scene investigations. Settling in New York in 1979\, Hambleton transitioned from street art to producing paintings in his studio. He went on to participate in both the 1984 and 1988 Venice Biennale. The artist died on October 29\, 2017 in New York. Today\, Hambleton’s works are held in the collections of the Brooklyn Museum\, the Andy Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh\, and The Museum of Modern Art in New York\, among others. \nAbout Istvan Kantor \nBorn in Budapest and has lived in many countries throughout the world. Istvan Kantor is a visual and media artist also known as Monty Cantsin. He founded Neoism in the late 1970’s in Montreal and moved to New York in the early 1980’s. He is a founding member of the Lower East Side street artist group the Rivington School. The writer has been arrested and jailed multiple times during his blood interventions in various museums. He was awarded The Governor General Award of Canada\, in 2004. \nPublished by Howl! Arts and Autonomedia.\nPaperback: 264 pages\, 4.5 x 7\nIllustrated\nISBN-13: 978-1570273667\nUS Price: $14.95\nFor more information or to purchase the book CLICK HERE

SUMMARY:Reclaiming the Dream:
DESCRIPTION:The Unfinished Business of Queer Liberation and the Movement for Black Lives\nA Community Dialogue with Ann Northrop\, Cypha\, Lola Flash\, and Jay W. Walker moderated by Howl education director Katherine Cheairs. \n“When I dare to be powerful—to use my strength in the service of my vision—then it becomes less and less important whether I am afraid.”  —Audre Lorde \nHow do we make meaning and find the courage to move through the reality of the COVID-19 global pandemic that has infected millions of people and caused the death of over 500\,000 people worldwide? What lessons are emerging from the movement for Black Lives\, sparked by the death of George Floyd\, bringing thousands of protestors out into the streets in many cities throughout the US\, as well as the UK\, Japan\, Ireland\, South Korea\, and Australia? Why did it take so long to extend the Civil Rights Act of 1964 to gay\, lesbian\, and transgender workers when the Stonewall Uprising occurred in 1969? In what ways do these questions inform each other?  \nReclaiming the Dream: The Unfinished Business of Queer Liberation and the Movement for Black Lives is a virtual community dialogue to provide voice to the current moment and vision for the future. Join veteran activist and journalist Ann Northrop; multi-dimensional artist Cypha; photographer Lola Flash\, whose work often focuses on social\, LGBT\, and feminist issues; and organizer\, activist\, and Reclaim Pride Coalition co-founder Jay W. Walker for an in-depth and thoughtful conversation moderated by Howl education director Katherine Cheairs. \n\nAnn Northrop  \n \n  \nAnn Northrop is a veteran activist and journalist.

When I was seven\, I started sketching comic book and graffiti characters. In my teens\, I turned to street art where I made a name for myself with the tag ‘CYPHA’. As I got older\, I explored more mediums such as painting\, graphic design\, music production\, photography\, video production\, and tattooing. \n“I love working in all of these fields—they are expressions of who I am. I regularly use these mediums in my work whether it is within the creative industry or on my own personal projects. My imagination is working non-stop; it is what drives me to constantly learn. \n“Throughout my professional career\, I’ve always strived to consistently think outside the box\, which has made me an award-winning creative\, a strategic designer\, and a compelling storyteller. Since my street art days\, CYPHA has stuck\, and it is now my artistic identity that has taken me from the streets and galleries of New York to working with some of the biggest brands in the world. For me creativity never stops. It is not just work; it’s my life.” —CYPHA \nhttps://www.howlarts.org/event/no-more-black-targets/\nhttps://newsone.com/3697095/no-more-black-targets-movement/ \nLola Flash  \n \n  \nFlash uses photography to challenge stereotypes and offer new ways of seeing that transcend and interrogate gender\, sexual\, and racial norms.
