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:Andrew Castrucci: 36 Years at Bullet Space
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: October 23\, 6 — 9 PM \nAndrew Castrucci is an artist who has contended with this magical\, mysterious and often menacing space called Manhattan for over four decades… Castrucci is a portrait painter of the city we all love\, who captures its primal essence not as a matter of realistic representation\, but as a psychological study of the great ambivalence at the heart of this experience of living here. —Carlo McCormick \nHowl! Happening is pleased to announce an exhibition that pays tribute to Bullet Space and Andrew Castrucci—framed around the artist’s 36-year tenure leading the unique community space\, and two mammoth artists’ books he produced with a myriad of collaborators: Your House is Mine (1988–1992) and Fracktured Lives (2010–2020). Threaded throughout are other artifacts including his paintings on steel as well as silk screens from the two books; newspapers; and ephemera produced between 1985 to the present. The exhibition is curated by Carlo McCormick and Alexandra Rojas and will be accompanied by a catalog with essays by McCormick and Tom McGlynn. \n \n“When painting on scraps of metal\, Castrucci evokes a temporal uncertainty that debilitates the monumentality at hand\,” says McCormick. “It is heavy metal played with the volume off\, hardcore slowed down to a waltz.” \nOn view will be the full range of Castrucci’s work—his signature paintings on metal\, like the rude algae of time; paintings that channel his lifelong love for fishing; and other works that emphasize art-making beyond decoration. Rooted in community\, the show also presents Castrucci’s collaborations with John Fekner—including the large stenciled works We the People and NY is OK—and pieces created with NOC 167\, Tracy 168\, Nadia Coen\, Lee Quiñones\, Alexandra Rojas\, and Renzo Castrucci. “Art sometimes becomes a necessity\,” says Castrucci\, “and art as life is a necessary form of resistance.”   \nYour House is Mine by Castrucci and Nadia Coen is an oversized artists’ book with 33 signed silk-screen prints. A collection of images and texts defining and expressing the broad and essential issue of housing on the Lower East Side\, the work as a whole creates a statement about the force of “art as a means of resistance.” The book is critical of the status quo. Provoking or inciting the public\, it offers objective statements or alternative solutions to authoritative city planning. \nAn amazing array of groundbreaking artists worked with Castrucci to make silk screens for the book\, including David Wojnarowicz\, Martin Wong\, Lady Pink\, and Lee Quiñones. From each silk screen\, 150 prints were made to be wheat-pasted on city walls\, and 150 were printed on 50-pound Mohawk vellum for Your House is Mine\, which was designed by Castrucci\, his brother Paul\, and Coen. The book also presents contributions from figures like Miguel Algarín\, Chris Burden\, Martha Cooper\, Daze\, John Farris\, Allen Ginsberg\, David Hammons\, Hettie Jones\, Cookie Mueller\, Public Enemy\, Adam Purple\, Bimbo Rivas\, and Andrés Serrano.  \nFracktured Lives is a massive 25-pound book\, bound in sheet metal\, which comprehensively takes on the subject of fracking. The project was created to protest and ultimately ban this polluting practice that forcibly extracts natural gas.  \nThe book features 50 screen-prints by a diverse and intergenerational selection of artists—a veritable exhibition in codex form. Produced between 2010–2020\, 177 artists\, writers\, and “fracktivists” contributed\, notably including Joseph Beuys\, Andrew Castrucci\, Sue Coe\, John Fekner\, Yoko Ono\, Alexandra Rojas\, David Sandlin\, and Walter Sipser. \nDeploying a range of aesthetics between high and lowbrow art forms\, the posters and the ideas behind them were collectively brainstormed and came to fruition at the School of Visual Arts in New York City\, where Castrucci and his students started the Dirty Graphics collective.  \n\nAbout Bullet Space \nLocated at East Third Street in Loisaida\, Bullet Space is an act of resistance\, a community-access center for images\, words\, and sounds of the neighborhood. Founded in the winter of 1985\, it was part of the squatter movement and reconstructed with or without the formal sanction of the city—invisible officialdom. The ground floor of the building is open—like a bulletin. “Bullet” first originated from the name-brand of heroin sold on the block—which was known as the “bullet block”—encompassing the accepted American ethic of violence. “Bullet Americana” is art form as weaponry. \nAbout Andrew Castrucci  \nAndrew Castrucci was born in 1961 and raised in the proximity of West Hoboken and Cliffside Park\, spanning New Jersey’s industrial expanses of the lower Hudson River.  \nFrom 1984–86\, he ran the A&P Gallery with his brother Paul. In 1986\, Castrucci co-founded Bullet Space\, an urban artist collaborative. Creating a print shop there\, he was instrumental in producing over 10\,000 silk screen posters by a wide range of artists\, writers\, and thinkers. Castrucci curates shows and publishes artist’s books\, most recently the Bulletin newspaper edition #10\, and Shoot the Pump\, co-curated with Lee Quiñones and Alexandra Rojas. \nCastrucci co-published the Your House is Mine 1988–92 book and poster project\, which has been hailed as one of the most important artist’s book editions of the 20th century by Marvin Taylor\, head of the Fales Library collection of New York University. He also published Fracktured Lives\, a 10-year project dealing with hydro fracking in upstate New York and its global impact. \nFor 20 years (1986–2006)\, he ran artist workshops through Healing Arts Initiative (HAI) at Wards Island\, the Fort Washington Men’s Shelter\, a Rockland County juvenile detention center\, and a correctional facility in the Bronx where he discovered the now well-known artist Melvin Way. \nCastrucci has been working on a film\, The River Speaks: Urban Angling in the East River\, where life becomes art. His other films include Struck by the Hand (2000)\, The Resistance of Memory (2005)\, America Berserk (2008)\, and Ninety Degrees North (2018). \nIn 1997\, in collaboration with his students at the School of Visual Arts Printshop\, he started the collective Dirty Graphics\, which continues to this day\, having printed thousands of silk screen posters. \nCastrucci’s work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art\, Whitney Museum\, and Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York; State Museum of Berlin; Stedelijk Museum in the Netherlands; and the Library of Congress Rare Books and Special Collections Division in Washington\, D.C.; among others.

SUMMARY:Collective Space/Embodied Resistance: 40 Years and Beyond of AIDS\, Art and Activism
DESCRIPTION:WORLD AIDS DAY COMMEMORATION \n“We have lost heroes in this multi-passing-the passage of brilliant minds who we have lost. We cannot access them through anything except digging far in and finding them living loud through our heart and psyche. I needed them then and need them now.” – Julie Tolentino from Debra Levine’s Essay – Another Kind of Love: A Performance of Prosthetic Politics \nIn her book The Gentrification of the Mind\, Sarah Schulman struggles to understand and express the loss to AIDS and how “a certain urban ecology of queer subculture existence has been wiped out\, through both AIDS and gentrification” and that this “ecoside” has resulted in less diversity. Almost without realizing it—one person at a time—we lost pioneering artists who challenged the status quo in performance\, installation\, improvisational live music\, dance\, drag\, and the intersection of new technologies. Schulman says\, “When they died\, their practice of creating new paradigms outside of institutional structures was removed from sight.” \nHowl is pleased to present Collective Space/Embodied Resistance: 40 Years and Beyond of AIDS\, Art and Activism\, a panel discussion in honor of WORLD AIDS DAY featuring; photographer Lola Flash\, performer Rafael Sanchez\, writer Pamela Sneed\, performance artist John Kelly and historian\, Aldo Hernandez. Each panelist will present and contextualize specific bodies of work made during and speaking to the height of the AIDS epidemic followed by a moderated discussion with the audience.  \nIt is particularly fitting that Howl focuses on the continuum of AIDS history in our community as we struggle to counter the gentrified mindset that pretends that AIDS never happened or is not happening right now. The artists on the panel have firsthand\, lived experience of those early days and all have made work dealing with its impact on their lives personally and the fabric of our city.  \nThe artists on this panel defy the gentrified mindset discussed in Schulman’s book by reminding us that art as resistance can channel our collective rage into moments of remembrance for what we’ve lost and celebrate our survival.  We honor our friends\, family members and loved ones whom we’ve lost to HIV & AIDS while we grapple with the immense losses from COVID-19. As painful as it can be to unlock memories from our not too distant past\, healing and wisdom can be derived from this looking back. Flash\, Sanchez\, Sneed\, Kelly and Hernandez share with us their own ways of looking in hopes that we might see ourselves not separate but as a continuum of the ongoing history of HIV & AIDS irrespective of the identities we individually hold.  \n\nPanelists: \nPhoto by: Ajamu X\nLola Flash uses photography to challenge stereotypes and offer new ways of seeing that transcend and interrogate gender\, sexual\, and racial norms. She received her bachelor’s degree from Maryland Institute and her Masters from London College of Printing\, in the UK. Flash works primarily in portraiture with a 4×5 film camera\, engaging those who are often deemed invisible. In 2008\, she was a resident at Lightwork and in 2015\, she participated at Alice Yard\, in Trinidad. Flash was awarded an Art Matters grant\, which allowed her to further two projects\, in Brazil and London. Flash has work included in important public collections such as the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.  Her work is also featured in the publication Posing Beauty\, edited by Deb Willis\, currently on exhibit across the US. Most recently\, she co-led a talk at the Bronx Museum with Sur Rodney Sur. They spoke to the glaring lack of women artists and POC\, with respect to the Art AIDS America exhibition. Flash’s work welcomes audiences who are willing to not only look but see. \n  \nAldo Hernandez; librarian\, archivist\, curator\, music mixer and photographer was born in Cuba\, raised in California and has lived in NYC since 1985. As a member the ART+POSITIVE collective within ACT UP\, he curated the “Army of Lovers” exhibition at the PS 122 Art Gallery in November 1990 which included many artists that have since gained widespread recognition (among them Lola Flash\, Nan Goldin\, Hunter Reynolds\, James Siena\, Fred Tomaselli\, David Wojnarowicz).  After moving to NYC Aldo worked in Development at MoMA\, and in 1987 became the Development Officer and a music/poetry curator at Creative Time. During this time Aldo began working with performer Julie Tolentino and Diamanda Galás – an urgent vital time in their lives as they and their friends became committed to AIDS activism through ACT UP. Recently\, Aldo returned to archival projects\, and is currently organizing the Brian Butterick collection at Howl. Aldo is also Howl’s first librarian and steward of the unique collection\, which emphasizes New York City’s East Village neighborhood.  \n  \nPhoto by: Steven Menendez\nJohn Kelly is a performance and visual artist. His performance works dramatize the lives of characters – whether actual or fictional – revealing their challenges\, foibles\, and humanity. Some of these works are directly autobiographical – others are inspired by the realities and hurdles of cultural outsiders\, and political realities they navigate.  His visual art is based in self-portraiture\, and frequently relates to the subjects of his performance works\, including drawing\, painting\, photography\, and video.  He recently completed his first graphic narrative ‘A Friend Gave Me A Book’\, based his weathering a catastrophic trapeze accident. Kelly’s latest dance theatre work ‘Underneath The Skin’ (based on the life of the 20th century gay novelist and tattoo artist Samuel Steward) will have a multi-week run at New York’s La MaMa\, in 2022. \n  \nPolaroid by: Mark Morrisroe\, 1988 c. Estate of Mark Morrisroe\, Collection Ringier; Fotomuseum Winterthur\, CH\nRafael Sánchez is a Cuban-born visual artist and performer based in New York City. Sánchez’ work combines traditional fine-art practice with personal methods and associate ‘conductive’ materials which include makeup\, barn paint\, asphalt sealer\, honey\, dust\, and sugar. His drawings\, installations\, and performances embrace site and context\, often utilizing elements from a mixture of intuitive and universal cosmologies with themes of transformation and transcendence. He was a companion and caregiver to friends in New York and Paris during the AIDS crisis of the ’80s and ’90s. Sánchez became HIV+ in the fall of 2002. In the artist’s words\, “seroconversion was devastating\, but in time that journey strengthened my belief in the interconnectedness of all things and the transformative power of art.” \nRecent solo and group presentations include A Gathering (HOUSING\, New York\, 2021)\, Life of a Flower / Rafael Sánchez with Ellen Cantor\, Jim Fletcher\, Mark Morrisroe\, and Gail Thacker (Galerie Max Mayer\, Düsseldorf\, 2019)\, and Tree of Heaven (Viewing Room—Marlborough Contemporary\, New York\, 2018). Two exhibitions pairing the work of Rafael Sánchez and Kathleen White are forthcoming; at Fall River Museum of Contemporary Art in Massachusetts from November through April of 2022\, and Rafael Sánchez\, Kathleen White: Earth Works will open at Martos Gallery in New York on January 13\, 2022. \n  \nPhoto by: Rafael German\nPamela Sneed is a New York-based poet\, writer\, performer and visual artist\, author of Imagine Being More Afraid of Freedom than Slavery\, KONG and Other Works\, Sweet Dreams and two chaplets\, Gift by Belladonna and Black Panther.
