Happening is pleased to present Mark Cooper’s fantastical and ornate mixed-media installation Unbounded: Angels in the Nursery. The installation uses visual signifiers to suggest multiple subtexts—from the importance of experiencing boundless joy to addressing the many issues that challenge our present and our future.  \nThe wildly diverse elements of this immersive experiential artwork are composed of an equally colorful array of materials that create the gestalt of the installation. The component parts reference the beauty and unpredictability of nature and reflect Cooper’s diverse influences\, from art and cultural history to biology\, architecture\, and cross-cultural exchange. \nThe biomorphic wooden sculptural forms suggest curio cabinets gone wild. The same shapes and images reappear in the quirky ceramic vessels and figures\, and in the paintings and rice-paper relief forms on the wall that incorporate photographic and printed imagery tucked into their many layers. Considering this riot of shapes and colors and materials in relationship to each other\, the notion of a singular genius moment is called into question\, and the viewer experiences a series of moments and events that form the foundation for bringing new ideas to the conversation and questioning the hierarchy of value. \n“I am interested in the conversation between the parts serving as triggers for individual viewer associations rather than presenting a linear narrative\,” says Cooper. “My work is based on collaboration and the idea that ‘the whole is greater than the sum of its parts’—using collage\, assemblage\, and installation as a metaphor for working together in a complex world.” \nIn creating the individual components in collaboration with others and in collaboration with the materials themselves—responding to how they bend and fold—unexpected outcomes arise in the same way that bringing individuals from different disciplines together can lead to solutions beyond one specific approach. \n“It is like an improvisational jazz piece\,” says Cate McQuaid\, writing in the Boston Globe. The conceptual framework brings individual voices together and references cultures and philosophies that allude to unbounded possibilities\, joy\, and love. A place of wonder and humanity\, the installation is a reminder for all of us to be our best selves and to work together to heal our planet.   \nCooper is an internationally recognized artist known for large-scale and site-specific installations and public commissions. His commissions include works for the Boston Children’s Hospital\, Boston Medical Center\, and Massachusetts Cultural Council; he has received a Gund Grant\, Daynard Grant\, and an Open Society Fellowship. In July 2020\, Cooper completed three permanent large-scale marble sculptures for the Da Nang Fine Arts Museum in Vietnam. In 2006\, he authored Making Art Together through Beacon Press. \nCooper’s major exhibitions include shows at the Vietnam National Fine Arts Museum; Vietnam University of Fine Arts; Da Nang Fine Arts Museum; Rough Point Museum—Doris Duke Mansion; Yuandian Art Museum; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art\, Kansas City; Lesley University\, Cambridge\, MA; Street Museum\, Seoul\, Korea; Whitney Museum at Philip Morris; Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston; ICA Boston; Corcoran Gallery of Art; The Butler Institute of American Art; Peabody Essex Museum; DeCordova Sculpture Park and Museum; City Museum of Paris; and WestLicht Museum\, Vienna. The artist has had more than 100 solo and group shows combined. \nVisitation Guidelines \n  URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/mark-cooper-unbounded-angels-in-the-nursery/ LOCATION:Howl!

One of those nice round number ones\, the kind that officially takes you squarely from one decade and tosses you up a bracket to the next age tier. You’ve experienced it. If not you will. Sure as the full moon and the bones in your body\, you will. \nJoin John Pizza for You Cant Grow Down\, a reflection on the universal experience of growing up\, inwards\, diagonalwise\, and all around. \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. \n\nAbout Tom Murrin and the Full Moon Show \nPerformance is anything done with purpose and style—Tom Murrin \nHowl! Happening is home to the archive of Tom Murrin\, aka the Alien Comic and the Godfather of Performance Art. Every full moon—without fail\, paid booking or not\, in all seasons and whatever the weather—he performed his Luna Macaroona Full Moon Show. When he had a club date that fell on the full moon\, he’d wrangle his friends to perform as guests—pushing the careers of such groundbreaking performers as David Cale\, David Sedaris\, Amy Sedaris\, Blue Man Group\, Ethyl Eichelberger\, Lisa Kron\, and many others. When he didn’t have a club date\, he performed on the street for passersby\, transforming the pedestrian atmosphere with his madness and magic.

Arts/Howl! Archive (HA/HA) is pleased to present Low Fidelity\, a selection of photographs by Bobby Grossman that documents and sheds new light on icons of New York’s punk-rock scene and the culture that bred other trailblazing artists and musicians of the 70s\, 80s\, and 90s. \nGrossman arrived in New York in 1976 after receiving a BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD)\, where he studied alongside friends Chris Frantz and David Byrne of Talking Heads.
