At the time\, they were discussing Sandra Fluke\, a college student who had been demanding coverage for birth control at Georgetown University and the vitriol that she subsequently experienced from conservative press and lawmakers. Rush Limbaugh had even gone so far as to call the law student a “slut” and a “prostitute” for simply seeking equal access to reproductive healthcare. In our shared rage\, Martha said “They may as well have us wear the Scarlet A!”  \nWithin the next few months\, A is For emerged in response to the further escalating legislative attacks on access to safe abortion. And just as Martha\, Kellie\, and Gina had imagined at that party\, they took Hester Prynne’s Scarlet A\, intended as a symbol of shame\, and re-claimed it.

However\, the main thing I remember about him was how terribly intense he was – a combination of extreme intensity and shyness.” – Robert Motherwell \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n ►\n Explore 3D Space \n \n \n \n Harold Shapinsky: Abstract Soul\n \n \n \n\nHowl! Arts/Howl! Archive is pleased to present Harold Shapinsky: Abstract Soul\, an exhibition of his paintings and drawings\, on view from March 23 through May 21\, 2023. The exhibition marks Shapinsky’s first solo exhibition in New York since the 90s and will showcase works spanning from the 1940s to the late 80s\, including many rarely- and never-exhibited works like early figurative paintings and the elegant\, modest-sized paper paintings for which he is best known. Together the paintings in the exhibition illuminate the remarkable story of the artist’s long-overlooked practice in New York and his late career rise to recognition as a significant Abstract Expressionist. \nA native New Yorker\, Shapinsky was born in Brooklyn in 1925 and painted for the majority of his career with little public recognition. He spent much of his life in the East Village where he studied at Mark Rothko and Robert Motherwell’s school The Subject of An Artist. Despite his proximity to celebrated Abstract Expressionists of the same generation and the recognition of his peers\, Shapinsky did not garner the attention of the art world. He possessed an intensity that was reflected both in his work and in his distaste for the politics of the commercial art world\, and so while the movement flourished around him\, Shapinsky worked in obscurity in his small Lower East Side apartment with his wife Kate. He painted in bold brush strokes on thick paper\, which was the only medium that he could both afford and find room to store. \nShapinsky’s talent would likely have continued to go unrecognized if not for Akumal Ramachander\, an English professor and arts publicist from India who encountered Shapinsky’s son David at the University of Chicago. David presented images of his father’s work to Ramachander upon learning of his work promoting under-recognized artists\, and Ramachander immediately vowed to champion Shapinsky’s work.  \nRamachander began promoting Shapinsky in New York\, but the tide of Abstract Expressionism had receded in the United States and he had limited luck. In the meantime\, he befriended the artist and began advocating for Shapinsky in London. In the Spring of 1985\, Ramachander persuaded James Mayer to give Shapinsky a show at his gallery that opened on Shapinsky’s 60th birthday to great acclaim. More exhibitions in Europe and eventually in the U.S. followed\, as well as a documentary on Channel 4 (UK)\, an article in the Observer by Salman Rushdie\, and a 16 page New Yorker feature by Lawrence Weschler. \nToday\, the art and story of Harold Shapinsky has joined the public consciousness\, and Shapinsky was awarded recognition and financial freedom in his later years of life. Still\, for Shapinsky\, the work remained central to his existence. “If none of this had happened\,” Shapinsky said in a 1985 Washington Post interview\, “I’d still paint. For the love of it.”  \n\nWatch Rear Window: The Painter and the Pest.  \nSalman Rushdie narrates the story of how Akumal Ramachander discovered the works of unknown Abstract Expressionist painter\, Harold Shapinsky\, whose vast collection of work might not otherwise have been shared with the general public. Originally produced by Bandung Productions in 1985. \n\n  \n\n  \nImage: Harold Shapinsky\, Untitled.

Happening: November 19  – January 15\, 2023\n(6 E 1st St\, New York) \nHowl! Arts/Howl! Archive: December 3  – January 29\, 2023\n(250 Bowery Second Floor\, New York) \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n ►\n Explore 3D Space \n \n \n \n CITY OF KINGS: A History of New York City Graffiti\n \n \n \n\n  \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n ►\n Explore 3D Space \n \n \n \n CITY OF KINGS: A History of New York City Graffiti Part 2\n \n \n \n\n\n\nNew York\, NY: How did a subculture born on the streets of New York City evolve into a ubiquitous global phenomenon? From its origins in the late 1960s through today\, the story of street art and graffiti in New York City is still being told. Creating a rich\, visual contextualization of that history\, Howl! Happening is pleased to present CITY OF KINGS – an exhibition tracing the historical chronology of graffiti’s emergence as an art form and elevating the under-recognized artists and other players who pushed the medium forward. The exhibition is held in two parts\, the first at Howl! Happening and the second at Howl! Arts/Howl! Archive (HA/HA). \nCurated by first-generation graffiti artist Al Díaz (who worked under the name Bomb One before partnering with Jean-Michel Basquiat to create the SAMO©… tag) with additional curation from graffiti archivist and artist  Eric ‘DEAL CIA’ Felisbret and art educator Mariah Fox\, the exhibition features stories\, photos\, ephemera\, videos\, documentaries\, and the accounts of historical experiences\, many of which are previously unseen. \nGrounded in personal narratives from the inventors\, participants\, and innovators who shaped graffiti culture over the last five-and-a-half decades\, this exhibition highlights untold stories and lesser-known artists who contributed to graffiti’s emergence and spread across New York City’s five boroughs. At the heart of the exhibition is a timeline that offers a visual representation of how and where graffiti evolved\, to indicate the flow of ideas and inspiration among artists and groups. The timeline also contextualizes the graffiti movement by referencing key historical events\, such as the Son of Sam murders\, street-gang activity\, the financial decline of New York City\, and efforts to “clean up” the city. \nThe chronological display creates a framework to help explain how graffiti has become so lodged and influential within our present popular culture. What makes this exhibit particularly unique is that the narrative is told through the lens\, and voice of the actual players who created graffiti. An accessible\, concise\, clear account for the general public is long overdue in New York City\, the “birthplace of graffiti culture.” \n– Al Díaz\, NYC. August 2022 \nIn total\, the exhibition features the contributions of dozens of graffiti artists\, world-renowned photographers\, collectors and archivists. The exhibition includes photographs\, video\, and audio recordings — some of which come from personal archives. Public programs and a series of panel discussions will hone in on themes and periods that evolved across time; touching on topics such as the movement’s roots\, the evolution of graffiti styles and social and cultural practices. \nCITY OF KINGS includes contributions from artists and historians including CoCo 144\, Taki 183\, Crash\, LEE\, Jay Edlin\, Charlie Ahearn\, FLINT\, Carlo McCormick\, and Martha Cooper.

The exhibition runs from November 9 to 20\, 2022 at Howl Arts / Howl Archive\, 250 Bowery\, 2nd floor\, New York City. \nThere were no funerals. No memorials. No public gatherings to mourn those killed by Russia’s relentless attacks on the port city of Mariupol that became a symbol of Ukraine’s ferocious resistance. The mass grave trenches told the story of a city under siege. \nThe world would have seen none of this\, would have seen next to nothing at all from Mariupol as a city under siege\, if it wasn’t for Mstyslav Chernov and Evgeniy Maloletka\, the Associated Press team who race into the city when the invasion began and stayed long after it had become one of the most dangerous places on Earth. For more than two weeks\, they were the only international media in the city\, and the only journalists able to transmit video and still photos to the outside world. \nMoscow hated their work. The Russian embassy in London tweeted images of AP photos with the word “Fake” over them in red text. A top Russian diplomat held up copies of photos from the maternity hospital at a U.N. Security Council meeting\, insisting they were phony. But their photographs and the people who they met speak to what happened in Mariupol. \n\nEvgeniy Maloletka is a Ukrainian war photographer journalist and filmmaker\, who has been covering the war in Ukraine since 2014. He has also covered the Euromaidan Revolution\, the protests in Belarus\, the Nagorno-Karabakh war and the COVID-19 pandemic in Ukraine. In 2022 his work during the siege of Mariupol has been recognized with the Knight International Journalism Award\, the Visa d’or News Award and the Prix Bayeux Calvados-Normandie. He has also received awards from Italy\, Germany\, Norway and United States. \nMstyslav Chernov is a Ukrainian war correspondent\, filmmaker\, photographer\, and novelist known for his coverage of the Ukrainian revolution\, the Russian invasion in Ukraine\, the war in Iraq\, Syria\, and Nagorno-Karabakh\, and Afghanistan under Taliban rule after U.S. withdrawal\, as well as for his art installations and exhibitions. He is on the staff of Associated Press. \n\nOn Sunday\, November 20 at 5:00 PM Howl! Arts will host an event “Music and Spoken Word for Mariupol” created by Yara Arts Group with poet Bob Holman and bandura master Julian Kytasty\, with Yara Artists and Daria Kolomiec. All events are free.

Arts/Howl! Archive invites you to experience the work of Bob Krasner and learn more about his artistic process through dialogue with fellow New York-based photographer and critic\, Savannah Spirit. A multi-talented photographer whose work has appeared in the New York Times\, Vanity Fair\, Rolling Stone\, and the Village Voice\, among other publications\, Krasner’s current exhibition of abstract city views explore the intersection of the architecture and atmosphere of New York City. \nThe talk will be followed by a Q & A and a walk through of the exhibition. \n \nBob Krasner has been a professional photographer for over 25 years.  He has survived photo sessions with heavy metal hair bands\, reluctant politicians\, nervous brides and camera shy children (and adults). His pictures have been published by Rolling Stone\, People\, Vanity Fair\, Town & Country\, Penguin Books\, Random House and The Villager\, for whom he also writes. The New York Press Association has awarded him first prize for best art photograph for the last three years. He can frequently be found\, camera in hand\, on the streets of New York City (where he lives)\, looking for the next great shot. \n  URL:https://www.howlarts.org/event/bob-krasner-the-shape-of-things-artist-talk-with-savannah-spirit/ LOCATION:HA/HA\, 250 Bowery\, 2nd Floor\, New York\, NY\, 10012\, United States CATEGORIES:Events,Exhibition,HAHA,Happening Soon ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.howlarts.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/DSC3414_DxOc.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20220917 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20221031 DTSTAMP:20230916T212214Z CREATED:20220823T185428Z LAST-MODIFIED:20230916T212214Z UID:10000422-1663372800-1667174399@www.howlarts.org SUMMARY:BOB KRASNER:The Shape of the City DESCRIPTION:Photography Exhibition\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, September 17 / 3–7 PM / Free\nSpecial Performance by Female Genius on the terrace at 3:30 PM.  \n \n \n \n\n \n \n \n \n ►\n Explore 3D Space \n \n \n \n Bob Krasner: The Shape of the City\n \n \n \n\nHowl! Arts/Howl! Archive is pleased to present photographer Bob Krasner’s abstract city views that explore the intersection of the architecture and atmosphere of New York City. Unlike his well-known pictures of cultural events\, which concentrate on the life and people of the downtown scene\, these photos represent the joyful moments of image-making that condense man’s creations and the sun into painterly and sublime abstraction. \nKrasner has been a photographer since high school. He’s photographed rock stars and presidents\, weddings and bar mitzvahs\, performance art and paintings\, shopping malls and private estates\, writers and publishers\, CEOs and sailors. His work has appeared in the New York Times\, Vanity Fair\, Rolling Stone\, and the Village Voice\, among other publications. He is currently a weekly contributor to the Villager and AM New York\, concentrating on events and people below 14th Street\, which brings him in touch with some of the most important artists and creators working in the city today.  \n“When I’m not shooting portraits or concerts or parades\, I relax by taking more pictures\,” he says. Posted daily on his Instagram page (@bobkrasner) for more than six years\, his unpopulated abstracts are inspired by his jaunts around the five boroughs\, reflecting his love for New York City and the deep emotional resonance he finds in the collaboration between the sun\, the city\, and the artist. \n“I can’t imagine living anywhere else but New York City. It’s the best place for me. I can walk out of my apartment\, go around the block and see the sun hitting a building in a way that results in a picture that I’ve never taken before\,” Krasner says.

The performance will include pieces from their recent vinyl released on Howl! Records\, as well as new material. They will be joined by surprise guests in their orbit.  \nThe band’s collective\, intuitive spirit is expressed in this artistic statement: \nWe\, as Female Genius\, work outside of the typical\, striving to create connections through chance\, habit\, and the subconscious. Our work is structured yet amorphous\, flippant yet potent\, disquieting but nourishing. \nOur “musicality” is not the connective tissue that keeps us together as a music making collective. Rather\, we draw on friendship\, respect\, and shared history to express and understand our place in this world. \nPerformance art and indeterminacy find a place here. The chance element of this event will affect us as well as the audience.  We will become an audience to ourselves. \nAbout Julie Hair  \n \nIn an artistic practice spanning decades\, Julie Hair explores personal and political issues such mental illness\, addiction and the military industrial complex through varied materials and mediums ranging from screen printed wallpaper to metal work and video. In her first year in New York she created an installation for the pivotal Times Square Show\, followed by a guerrilla installation with David Wojnarowicz that included bloody cow bones in the stairwell of the Leo Castelli gallery. She also worked with Lucy Lippard and others to create P.A.D.D – the pre-digital Political Art Documentation and Distribution archive for political art. \nJulie began experimenting with music in the 1980s with the art rock band 3 TEENS KILL 4 and decided that this form of expression would work for her\, having the added benefit of not filling up her tiny East Village apartment. She continued to create and play music with diverse outfits like anarcho-post-punk marching band\, The Hungry March Band and Glen Branca. She currently plays with and writes for Isolation Society and Female Genius and others and makes art for art’s sake\, as well as videos\, props and merch for her projects.  \nAbout Marnie Jaffe \n \nMarnie Jaffe (nee Greenholz) has been involved in the New York City and Brooklyn art community since 1978\, when she moved to attend graduate film school at NYU. She collaborated with dancers and musicians designing multi-projector slide installations at clubs and art venues including the Kitchen\, The Collective for Living Cinema\, Danceteria\, The Pyramid Club and Limelight. From 1980 until 1988 she played bass and sang with the alternative (noise) band Live Skull. She co-wrote songs for the band and released albums on the labels Homestead and Caroline Records. \nIn 1993 she moved to Cincinnati and had her daughter Noa. She also became the founding member/bass player of The Fairmount Girls and put out the record Seven seconds from anywhere\, as well as winning best local band for 2 years in a row from the Cincinnati Enquirer. \nShe received her MFA in Performance and Interdisciplinary Media in the Arts (PIMA) from Brooklyn College in 2017 and along with artist/musician Julie Hair\, she started the art rock band Female Genius. She currently continues to work as a teaching artist and is recognized as a creative force. \nAbout Nikki D’Agostino \n \nNikki D’Agostino is an award-winning “wildly creative” composer\, musician\, conductor\, educator\, and multi-disciplinary artist\, Nikki D’Agostino has both performed and had her works performed nationally and internationally. She received her B.A. from The University of North Texas in 2004 after studying with Joseph Klein\, Phil Winsor\, and Joseph “Butch” Rovan\, before pursuing her M.M. in Music Composition (2008) at CUNY Brooklyn College to study with Amnon Wolman and George Brunner. \nAs an educator\, Ms. D’Agostino has given lectures on topics ranging from musicology to performance practice as well as holding a position as an Adjunct Professor at CUNY New York City College of Technology in the Emerging Media program. Compositionally\, Nikki is currently focused on publishing a book of scores and recording an album of works using a notation system she developed to allow both performer and composer/conductor creative control. As a “beautifully brash” saxophonist\, synthesizer enthusiast\, and sound artist\, Nikki performs actively in the NYC music scene in several groups ranging in style from indie pop to harsh noise.

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. His first job was assisting Richard Bernstein\, the artist responsible for the covers of Andy Warhol’s Interview magazine. At Bernstein’s studio in the legendary Chelsea Hotel\, Grossman found himself at ground zero in the early days of punk and the downtown scene. \nTaking photographs of friends and newfound acquaintances—including Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Debbie Harry\, the Ramones\, David Bowie\, Iggy Pop\, and the milieu around Andy Warhol’s Factory—Grossman became a regular fixture at CBGB\, the Mudd Club\, and other downtown haunts. \nGrossman also served as the official photographer for Glenn O’Brien’s TV Party\, the seminal weekly public-access television show that David Letterman once described as “…the greatest TV show anywhere\, ever!” TV Party ran from 1978–1982 and captured the countless artists and innovators on the scene including Blondie\, George Clinton\, Basquiat\, “Fab 5 Freddy” Brathwaite\, and Klaus Nomi. \nBobby was one of the first serious photographers to capture me in action back then\, and each image brings back valuable memories of a time when we did successfully change and subvert the direction of pop culture. —“Fab 5 Freddy” Brathwaite \nGrossman’s work was included in the groundbreaking 1981 exhibition\, New York/New Wave\, at P.S.1 alongside more than a hundred artists including Kenny Scharf\, Robert Mapplethorpe\, Keith Haring\, Brian Eno\, and Nan Goldin. Grossman’s work has appeared in numerous publications and documentaries\, though the majority of his archive has remained unseen until now. \nThe exhibition includes photos of Andy Warhol\, Talking Heads\, Blondie\, the Ramones\, Lou Reed\, David Bowie\, The B-52’s\, Iggy Pop\, Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Diego Cortez\, Cookie Mueller\, John Waters\, Jackie Curtis\, Anya Phillips\, Lester Bangs\, Nile Rogers\, Robert Fripp\, Anya Phillips\, Richard Hell\, Grace Jones\, Glenn O’Brien\, William Burroughs\, and countless other cultural icons from the period. \nBobby\, above all an empathetic person\, has the ability to contribute to his subject’s freedom in front of the lens. —Debbie Harry \nThe exhibition also marks the start of a Kickstarter campaign to publish Low Fidelity\, a book that captures personal\, firsthand accounts by personalities including Debbie Harry\, Chris Stein\, Clem Burke\, “Fab 5 Freddy” Brathwaite\, Richard Boch\, Walter Steding\, Sylvia Reed\, Godlis\, Vincent Fremont\, Duncan Hannah\, Victor Bockris\, Tina Weymouth\, Chris Frantz\, Lisa Jane Persky\, Robert Fripp\, Lenny Kaye\, Amos Poe\, Suzanne Mallouk\, Meg Griffin\, Jamie Nares\, Max Blagg\, Kate Simon\, Ed Stasium\, Robyn Geddes\, Guy Furrow\, Julia Gorton\, Hal and Randy Ludacer\, Claudia Summers\, Chocomoo\, and Punk magazine publisher John Holmstrom. With a preface by Lisa Jane Persky\, introduction by Glenn O’Brien\, and afterword by Richard Boch. \n\nABOUT BOBBY GROSSMAN \nBobby Grossman is an artist and photographer.

Grossman’s reputation as a contributing photographer to both major publications and underground journals was soon well established. His work has appeared in numerous exhibitions\, catalogs\, and films. His first photo credit was the cover shot for Talking Heads’ 1977 single “Psycho Killer”. \nGroup exhibitions include the legendary 1980 Times Square Show and the 1981 New York/New Wave at P.S.1. Bande a part\, The Cool and the Crazy\, and the 2013 show Just Chaos!
