SUMMARY:“What It Means to Learn”  Johanna Jackson & Dana Dart-McLean
DESCRIPTION:“What It Means to Learn” \nJohanna Jackson & Dana Dart-McLean\nSeptember 4th—September 6th\, 2015\nOpening Friday September 4th 7-9pm  \nAt the opening\, Peter Hernandez\, Busy Gangnes\, and Nickels Sunshine will dance in a collaboratively choreographed piece\, using sculpture by Dana and Johanna. \nIn addition to their individual work\, Johanna Jackson and Dana Dart-McLean have used this opportunity to create collaborative paintings\, sculpture\, and installation. Each of the works on view engages a similar humor about blurring between representational and functional objects: a sculpture that is a mirror\, a painting that is a hat. \nWhat does the skin say?  When is it done?  What does it mean to learn? \nLearning is the feeling of your brain changing. It doesn’t only flow in one direction\, a lot of learning is forgetting. Out in the world we are taught\, and some things we can let in and some things we can’t and a lot of things we shouldn’t—especially since everything is everything. There are forevers of different realities and ways of being\, seeing\, and making perform constant appearances and flips and dissolves. Making pictures together\, we balance across our separateness. We send it out and return with something definite there on the page\, some proof\, something coming out of the muddiness. A way of learning without mastering\, a way of taking the earning out of learning. What do you have left ? Just an L. \nHere’s another sentence inspired by democracy. \nCollaborative art is generally less economically valued than work made alone or with paid help. Why? What about friendship and equality makes things cheap? We relate to cheap. \nCombining various forms of knowing comes naturally. Through somatic\, structural\, contingent\, and tactile ways of being\, we register knowing and not knowing with various states of  discomfort and comfort. Preference\, style\, and habit arise in response. Look\, the neck muscles between the shoulders and head are tight. The teacher’s hands direct the student to slightly release. A slight adjustment reconfigures the entire form. Breathing and shifting\, the body is always recording and responding. A landscape seen with the eyes registers differently from the way hair apprehends\, though pedagogies rarely include hair’s understanding. We might spend so much time doing something stupid if we tried to incorporate that. But maybe we would come up with some very good hairstyles. \nLaura Riding Jackson wrote\, “I want the time-world removed and in its place to see—nothing.” Mediating the real and the unreal while being together\, we wonder what it means to learn. Is it skills we are after?  What skills? Gendered\, raced\, classed\, sexed beings\, we navigate webs of interaction accumulating memory and style as an expression of habit. Beyond this\, what is unnamed remains as another awareness. \nJohanna Jackson is an artist living and working in Los Angeles. She has a BA in English Literature and Art History from the University of Maryland and an MFA from San Francisco Art Institute. She is interested in making objects out of feelings.  \nDana Dart-McLean is an artist and art teacher who wants to know what paintings can tell us about mapping sight and memory. She teaches art at Sankofa Academy\, a public school in Oakland\, CA. She has taught at museums\, art centers\, community centers\, schools\, public libraries\, and an apothecary. She has an MA in Counseling with a focus on Expressive Art Therapy.

SUMMARY:"Let it Mellow" Keith Rocka Knittel
DESCRIPTION:Keith Rocka Knittel\nLet it Yellow\nSeptember 9 – ­14\, 2015 \nOpening reception: Thursday\, September 10\, 7 – ­10 PM \nPlease join us for performances taking place inside the exhibition:\nFriday 9/11/15 7-10pm: Gautam Tejas Ganeshan\nSaturday 9/12/15 9-11 pm: Carl Pomposelli\, Steve Kado\, TMO\, Leslie Dick\, John Hogan\, and Keith Rocka Knittel \nThe work in Let it Yellow is process driven – performances build objects creating a syntax as gestures break down their materiality\, starting the process over again. Art objects exist equally as both a means of representing the present and a remnant of the past\, both combined to reflect upon the future. \nThe show is entered through a corridor of paintings of spinning\, generic newspapers. Headlines declaring “World At War” and “Environmental Catastrophe” imbue the transitional space between the outside world and the gallery with the anxiety of a punchline that never lands. In the gallery\, a room divider made from larger than life paintings of the artist’s cats doubles as a sound deadening wall. A grid of sixteen inch by nineteen inch abstract paintings\, roughly eight feet wide by twelve feet tall in all\, forms a large\, fluid mosaic. Within the grid\, vacant spaces invite the components to be rearranged on a whim. A stack of “$40 Paintings” ­ a series of black line paintings including a bedraggled cat toy beside the words “Secondary Nature\,” and a phone jack with the phrase “Ride of Your Life” ­ sit atop a pedestal. The paintings may be viewed by digging through the stack\, shuffling them in a constant flux of loopy narratives. \nAssembled in part from previous works\, some shown by Knittel in the Human Resources space when it was Cottage Home Gallery\, a twelve foot high tower of cubes descending in size climbs toward the ceiling. The top of the tower can be viewed from the cut-­throughs in the wall of the former projection booth on the second floor of the gallery. From this room\, viewers may observe the show and watch a video while sitting on a foam cube carved with an inviting seat. \nKeith Rocka Knittel holds an MFA from CalArts and his work has been shown in contemporary art galleries and museums\, most recently at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles as part of KCHUNG’s contribution to “Made in LA 2014\,” and at 356 Mission in Los Angeles as part of “Another Cats Show.” He hosts a radio show on KCHUNG (kchungradio.org) titled “Everything Must Go! FM\,” entering its third year of airing. He is currently a visiting lecturer at UC Riverside and lives and works in San Pedro\, California.

SUMMARY:It's Just the Beginning
DESCRIPTION:It’s Just the Beginning — Umbrella Movement anniversary exhibition. 「命運自主」 雨傘運動一週年展覽 – 洛杉磯 \nSUNDAY\, SEPTEMBER 20\n6 p.m. : Opening\n7:30 p.m. : Musical Performance featuring songs of the Umbrella Revolution \nSATURDAY & SUNDAY\, SEPTEMBER 26 & 27\n7:30 p.m. : Film Screening \nHOURS\nMonday through Sunday : Noon to 8 p.m. \nIn Fall 2014\, Hong Kong experienced an unprecedented civic uprising. A series of students-led walkouts and sit-ins — in protest of a legislative proposal by the National People’s Congress of China to assert control over Hong Kong’s electoral system — escalated into a leaderless movement of massive civil disobedience that came to be known as the Umbrella Movement. Police tear gas and pepper spray did nothing to stop everyday people from coming out into the streets in droves to demand true democracy. Using umbrellas as shields\, protesters shut down highways\, tunnels\, and bus routes\, occupying major arteries of the city for 79 days\, despite multiple crackdown efforts from the authorities. One year later\, people of Hong Kong continue to fight for their future. \nHong Kong Forum Los Angeles presents a multi-disciplinary exhibition of the Umbrella Movement in Chinatown. The exhibition serves both as a reflection and a projection of Hong Kong’s struggle for democracy. It highlights moving moments from the protests\, and the feverish creativity that blossomed throughout the strikes and occupations. It also offers an opportunity for the LA HK community to process and raise awareness about what is happening in our city collectively. \nThe key images of the exhibition are drawn from “The Umbrella Festival”\, researched\, curated and organized by Oscar Hing Kay Ho and the students at the Cultural Management Department of the Chinese University of Hong Kong\, first shown in Hong Kong in May 2015\, presenting images and artwork by occupiers\, artists and news photographers who participated in the movement. \nOther central contributors includes:\n// Hong Kong //\nPhotographer Martin Witness\nCartoonist Max Ip\nDesign Collective Hong Kong Social Design Narration\nSketching Umbrella Movement: Stella So\, Wai Wai\, Alvin Wong and members + more! \n// Los Angeles //\nHKFLA community: Musicians Shirley To + Alan Chan\, Artists M L Morimoto\, Monica Dong + Megan Dong + Sandra Fong + Lillian Chin + Wing Cheung + Perry Ng + more! \n9月份將會係每個香港人感覺複雜的一月：因爲87粒催淚彈，因爲被政府暴力對待的同路人，因爲目睹香港嘅社會撕裂。作爲身在海外嘅香港人，雖然我們能力有限，但唔想坐係電視機面前感到無能爲力。在這一年，各位在外嘅同路人一直用各種方法向當地社會展示香港人追求公平自由嘅決心，而洛杉磯嘅香港人都唔例外。 而一年過後，洛杉磯嘅各位壇友籌備於9月20日至28日在唐人街 Human Resources Downtown LA 舉行主題展覽向當地社群解釋雨傘運動。 \n大部份圖像在2015年五月與香港舉行的「雨傘節」展出，展覽組織者：中文大學文化管理部學生與何慶基教授。展覽來源於參與佔領運動嘅50多個佔領者，藝術家，攝影記者。 \n其他作品貢獻來源：\n// 香港 //\n— 馬丁–\n— 社會設計 —\n— 速寫遮打運動 : 慧惠\, Stella So\, Alvin Wong + members —\n— Mud Mud Mud \n+ 洛杉磯嘅香港人! \nwebsites and references:\nwww.umbrellafest.com\nwww.facebook.com/martinwitness\nwww.facebook.com/hksocialdesign\nwww.facebook.com/sketchoccupycentral\nwww.facebook.com/waiwai.sketches\nwww.facebook.com/stellasomanyee
