SUMMARY:Icons\, Iconoclasts\, and Outsiders
DESCRIPTION:September 19\, 2021 – March 6\, 2022\nInaugural Exhibition at Howl! Arts/Howl! Archive (HA/HA)\nGrand Opening: Sunday\, September 19 / 11 AM–6 PM \nHowl Arts is pleased to announce the inaugural exhibition at its new space\, Howl! Arts/Howl! Archive (HA/HA). Icons\, Iconoclasts\, and Outsiders presents works by artists\, writers\, musicians\, scenesters\, performers\, icons\, iconoclasts\, outsiders and other creators from the 1960s to the present whose life and work energized the underground and are now entering mainstream cultural discourse. HA/HA is located at 250 Bowery\, just down the block from Howl! Happening. The exhibition continues through December 23\, 2021 and is co-curated by Howl executive director Jane Friedman with Sean Mellyn and Maynard Monrow. \nIcons\, Iconoclasts\, and Outsiders unveils previously undocumented aspects of downtown life and culture—the atmosphere of a wildly diverse neighborhood that has influenced successive generations. A refined collection of works of art\, cultural history\, and ephemera\, the exhibition presents the early Ramones banner Gabba Gabba Hey (1977) and the paintings by artist and founding spirit of the gallery Arturo Vega; Candy Darling’s the worst years of my life: a five year diary\, from the collection of her longtime friend Jeremiah Newton; David Wojnarowicz’s Saint Sebastian (1981)\, a portrait of Brian Butterick from his personal collection; costumes\, props\, and videos from The Alien Comic Tom Murrin’s archive; an exquisite photographic portrait by George Dureau and explosive paintings by Richard Hambleton from the Arturo Vega estate; a signature portrait by Helen Oliver Adelson; graphite portraits by John Kelly of gifted individuals who were part of his life and creative circles; cultural chronicler and photographer Marcia Resnick’s color portrait of William Burroughs (1980); and Scooter LaForge paintings that explore contemporary social issues through humor\, lavish decoration\, and exaggerated cartoon-like figures. \nAlso from the collection are works of art and archival materials from the 60s to the present including Philly Abe; Richard Bernstein; Don Herron; Mark Morrisroe; Dustin Pittman; Jamie Reid; Walter Stedding; Patti Smith; Tabboo!; Gail Thacker; Toyo Tsuchiya; Guy Woodard; as well as Mudd Club doorman extraordinaire Richard Boch’s personal papers; and materials from the estate of Clark Render\, known for his collaboration with David Ilku in The Dueling Bankheads. \nIn the new screening room\, Howl draws from its video archive of work by Merrill Aldighieri as the first VJ and early documentarian of the legendary 80s nightclub Hurrah; the archives of Efrom Allen\, host of the early public-access television show Underground TV\, featuring a range of unconventional guests including Sid Vicious\, the Ramones\, Marilyn Chambers\, Blondie\, Steve Allen\, Buddy Rich\, Stiv Bators\, Brooke Shields\, and William Shatner; and selections from the vaults of Howl TV including live performances\, readings\, panel discussions\, and happenings with artists\, writers\, musicians\, and thought-leaders who have enlivened the gallery since its inception in 2015. \nHowl’s Permanent Collection comprises over 3\,000 objects\, including art\, rare digital and analog media\, performance-art ephemera\, and personal archives from the 1960s onward. The Collection documents the origins and growth of local cultural and social movements that have had far-reaching impact—offering a myriad of opportunities for new interpretations of the punk\, new-wave\, and no-wave movements; performance art; drag; street art; public-access television; nightlife; LGBTQ activism; the AIDS epidemic; and urban gentrification. \nImage: Richard Hambleton\, Untitled (Leaping Shadowman)\, ca 2000 \nVisitation Guidelines

SUMMARY:Amon Focus: Visual Voices
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Thursday\, September 23 | 6 – 8 PM \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present Visual Voices\, a special exhibition of photographs and interactive immersion in “the New York experience” by Amon Focus. \nNew York is a cacophonous mix of voices—from wisecracks and witticisms to activism and social commentary—and everything in between. Amon Focus captures these visual voices and has created a photographic archive spanning more than a decade\, aptly named New York Said. Visual Voices is a three-part multimedia experience for attendees to engage with the visual voices of New York City and celebrate the resilience of our communities as we approach a new state of “normal.” \nThe exhibition is an installation of 50 photographs and a series of collages created from the New York Said archive. Also on view is Unwarranted Advice\, a series of 10 large-format photographs based on overheard statements and the unsolicited guidance Amon has received while trekking the city. \nEach print shares the voice of the city and invites the viewer to contemplate our commonalities as a community of New Yorkers. Amon photographically captures the said\, but often unseen\, visual communications of those who have made the city their journal. \nThe second component of the show includes a “Meet the Artist ” experience\, where Amon will engage gallery-goers and the public in impromptu conversations about their New York experience. Fashioned as an interactive game he calls “Riff”\, these short conversations will be recorded and shared on a later airing of a New York Said podcast episode. \nAttendees will be invited to share their voices by adding to the New York Said Visual Voices Wall installed during the exhibit. \n\nAbout Amon Focus\nAmon Focus is the founder and creative force behind New York Said\, a multidisciplinary project with a mission to document and preserve the “writing on the wall” hidden in plain sight throughout the five boroughs. \nFor more than 10 years\, Amon has photographed over 2\,500 statements written on every surface imaginable in his ongoing photo series New York Said. \nIn addition to this photo series\, Amon hosts the New York Said podcast. The podcast has recorded over 200 long-form conversations with native and notable New Yorkers. \nAmon’s photography and film projects have been featured in multiple venues throughout New York City. Project highlights include an archival screening of his film Arturo Vega\, The Last Interview at Howl! Happening; shooting for New York Fashion Week; and the New York Said fifth-anniversary photography exhibit. \nAmon is also a consultant for destination-marketing organizations throughout the country and has worked as creative producer and camera operator on hundreds of tourism-related productions. \nAmon Focus is one of 500 New York City-based artists to receive a grant through the City Artist Corps Grants program\, presented by the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA) and the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA)\, with support from the Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment (MOME) as well as Queens Theatre. \nAmon will also be curating Howl’s signature month-long residency\, the &Friends series\, every Tuesday night in November on Howl TV. \nVisitation Guidelines \n

SUMMARY:HERO IN ART - The Vanished Traces of Richard Hambleton
DESCRIPTION:Istvan Kantor\nBook launch / Talk / Performance  \nHowl! Happening is pleased to present an evening celebrating Istvan Kantor aka Monty Cantsin and the publication of Hero in Art—The Vanished Traces of Richard Hambleton. The creator of unforgettable street art masterworks including Image Mass Murder\, I Only Have Eyes for You\, and Shadowman\, Richard Hambleton is remembered as a visionary underground artist\, a daring pioneer of urban interventionist art\, and a heroic idol of graffiti artists. Hero in Art is co-published by Howl! Arts and Autonomedia. Books will be available for purchase at the event. \nIstvan Kantor\, performance artist and author of Hero in Art\, will introduce the book and talk about his friendship and collaborations with Richard Hambleton. Kantor/Cantsin’s talk will especially focus on Hambleton’s lesser-known early art activities\, his contribution to mail-art\, and his participation in Neoist events.  \nRichard Hambleton by Curt Hoppe\nThe two artists met through mail-art in the late 70s while they lived in Canada\, Richard in Vancouver\, and Monty in Montreal. They were very active in their local art communities and besides doing mail-art\, they also experimented in the fields of performance art. While Richard Hambleton invaded North America’s largest cities with his graffiti-based street art actions\, Kantor spread the words of Neoism through spilling his blood at apartment festivals. Being mail-art friends\, Kantor participated in Richard’s first large-scale multi-city performance Image Mass Murder\, which also involved the International Mail-Art Network. It was around that time that they established a closer friendship. They started their creative adventures in New York around the same time in 1979/1980. In the spring of 1982\, while Hambleton was beginning his shadow figure project\, Cantsin was organizing a Neoist Apartment Festival in the Lower East Side\, in which Richard also took part. \nThroughout the years Kantor/Cantsin tried to interview Richard Hambleton\, but Richard always postponed\, and it never happened. However\, in Kantor’s book these unsuccessful attempts are the main thread of events. For the book\, Kantor also interviewed many other artists from among Richard’s circle of friends as well as the allies and critics who were part of Richard’s troublesome and enigmatic life. Some of them will be present at the event to participate in Kantor’s talk. \nAbout Istvan Kantor \nAbout Richard Hambleton
