SUMMARY:LESBIAN GULLS\, DEAD ZONES\, SWEAT AND T.
DESCRIPTION:LESBIAN GULLS\, DEAD ZONES\, SWEAT AND T. \nOpening Reception: Thursday May 5th\, 7-10pm \nExhibition Dates: May 5-21\, 2017 \nExhibition hours: Wednesday – Sunday\, 12-6pm \n*Gallery will be closed on Sunday\, May 14th \nFree and open to the public. \nAn exhibition of new work by Los Angeles based collaborators Candice Lin and Patrick Staff. \nLESBIAN GULLS\, DEAD ZONES\, SWEAT AND T. is a new site-specific project for Human Resources\, taking the form of a foggy installation within a roughly framed wooden structure. Reminiscent of construction sites\, the space contains various squatted objects— ceramics\, hacked electronics\, herbs\, erotic texts\, hormonal joints and greasy stains. The installation is organized in a loose hexagonal layout\, referencing the chemical compound of benzene\, part of a phyto-hormonal change that occurs during the aromatization of certain plants. \nFilling the space\, the artists have hacked commercial fog machines to vaporize homemade herbal tinctures into hormonal smoke. The common botanical ingredients used – such as licorice and black cohosh – are natural anti-androgens\, a class of drug typically known for suppressing testosterone production in the human body. The installation of these fog-machine sculptures creates a slow forming cloud\, enacting a potential intrusion of disruptive botanical knowledge\, and proposing a cross-pollination and infection between bodies\, ecosystems\, and institutions. \nLin and Staff’s research and queer re-readings of botanical texts inform the foundation of the project\, beginning with a consideration of how herbal treatments were historically associated with female social roles of healer\, herbalist\, and witch; and the transplantation and exploitation of plant knowledge through colonialism; its suppression\, renaming and regulation. Within this lineage\, the artists propose a non-binary queer exploration of hormone therapy and toxic sex\, both seeking to pervert pollution and queer the possibilities of endocrine disruption. \nConstructed from simple household and hardware materials such as fans\, funnels\, hot plates and aluminum roasting pans\, the sculptural machines reference an unassuming auto-didacticism\, wherein grassroots knowledge of both DIY construction and herbal medicine can be utilized. The smoke that rises from them points to the ways in which inanimate matter\, and specifically ephemeral\, shifting\, and permeable matter\, takes on human\, biopolitical and necropolitical significance and effect. \nSimultaneously empty and dense\, dispersed and ingested\, LESBIAN GULLS\, DEAD ZONES\, SWEAT AND T. invites visitors to lose the illusion of their bodily boundaries and float within the influence of a hormonal mist\, suggesting questions of relationship and care\, dosage and tolerance and inciting a dissipating redefinition of subjectivity and knowledge. \nAvailable at the show is a new artist edition by Lin and Staff\, produced by Closing. \nCandice Lin and Patrick Staff live and work in Los Angeles\, and have been collaborating since 2010. Their collaborative practice focuses on the queer potential of herbal practices and cross-species interactions. Their work has been shown at Gasworks\, London; Teoretica\, Costa Rica; Centro Para Os Assuntos Da Arte E Arquitectura\, Portugal; 18th Street Arts Center\, Los Angeles; and as part of Witchy Methodologies at the ICA\, London\, 2017 and the Serpentine Galleries’ Transformation Marathon\, 2015. Candice Lin has had recent solo exhibitions at Gasworks Gallery\, London; François Ghebaly Gallery\, Los Angeles; Artissima\, Turin; and Galeria Quadrado Azul\, Porto. Patrick Staff’s recent solo exhibitions include MOCA\, Los Angeles; Contemporary Art Gallery\, Vancouver; Institute of Modern Art\, Brisbane; and Chisenhale Gallery\, London. \nThanks to Ghebaly Gallery for additional support \nAll photos by Ian Byers-Gamber

Working with museums like the Denver Art Museum\, Portland Art Museum\, and Seattle Art Museum Beatrice and Wendy engage the public to decolonize thinking around Native American art and collections through performative tours\, interactive activities\, and interventionist installations. Intergenerational collaborative work is integral and a means to creating a forum for the expression of Native women’s voices in contemporary art. \nhttp://www.wendyredstar.com/ \n\n7pm – 9pm *\nDivine Creators!!! : Intro to Divination Practices for Creatives\nEdgar Fabián Frías\npresented by at land’s edge \nDivine Creators!!! : Intro to Divination Practices for Creatives is an ad-hoc\, site-specific\, and adaptive workshop meant to help support the initiation\, development\, and flourishing of ancestral divination techniques within contemporary creative communities. Attendees will learn about divination from a trans-historical perspective and will find ways to weave in (a) personal divination practice(s) into their creative\, organizing\, educational\, and cultural work. Attendees will leave the workshop with a zine on divination techniques and all of the psychic tools needed to initiate and sustain a scrying (hydromancy) practice.  \n*The workshop has a maximum of 11 participants. It takes place in the evening. Please wear comfortable clothing. This workshop is FREE BUT requires sign up and approval by moderator.  \n*Optional: Please bring protective amulets\, charms\, plants\, essences\, crystals\, etc. Bring something to cover your head (a hat\, a scarf\, a hoodie).

We would be exploring this theme through a writing workshop wherein we discuss various ways to deal with accidents of birth. They can range from the fantastic to the mundane\, addressing the concept that you are born into a body\, and with it can come many expectations. How do you free yourself from ideas placed upon your body due to race\, gender\, sexual orientation\, ability/disability\, and/or class? \n\n7pm – 9pm **\nRitual for Mutual Black Care\nMelanie Griffin \npresented by at land’s edge \nBlack people expend precious physical\, emotional and psychic energy responding to racial injustice and fighting that injustice in ways that serve all of humanity. So often these responses drain us and impact our mental\, physical\, and spiritual health and deplete us as we constantly pour energy outward.\nThis gathering will be an opportunity to build love\, care\,  and resilience amongst each other. It will provide a space to refill the emotional/ spiritual well\, that living in an anti-Black society drains daily. We will call in ancestors\, speak out our fears\, joys and affirmations for one another. We will interact in a ritualistic way with plant medicine\, smoke\, and a sewn garment with images inspired by Black diasporic myths and abstract patterns meditating on the (one of) Black experience. \n**This event is only for all Black identified people\n____________________ \nA wheelchair accessible entrance (via portable ramp) and a wheelchair accessible bathroom will be provided.  \nPublic transit via the Chinatown Gold Line Station. Street parking available. \nat land’s edge is an autonomous pedagogical platform based in East and South Los Angeles that nurtures the voices of cultural producers who are committed to social transformation. We understand pedagogy as not only a method of education\, but as a critical space where the processes of teaching and learning\, knowledge and action\, and self and community are reflexive\, interwoven\, and oriented toward the liberatory possibilities of a just and democratic world. \nDecolonizeLA is an autonomous group made up of Los Angeles-based artists\, educators\, Indigenous Peoples and activists\, and members of HRLA’s Programming Committees. This group recognizes the word decolonize as a process and action word that must center Native/Indigenous people’s autonomy\, and the liberation of all oppressed peoples as its goal. Steps toward decolonization include acknowledging the effects of colonial oppressive structures\, and demanding an end to the legacy of environmental\, physical\, psychological\, cultural and artistic violence\, and opposing the perpetual structure of inequity forced upon us by colonialism and white male hetero-normative supremacy. This group recognizes that many communities are working towards decolonization. We embrace and celebrate this opportunity to honor their work and transform our city. \nHuman Resources Los Angeles\n410 Cottage Home St\, Los Angeles\, CA 90012\nnear Broadway and Cottage Home in Chinatown
