SUMMARY:The Institute of Ceramics and Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Anna Delgado and Brenda Starks are Southern California ceramic artists whose art examines identity and place. Though their works differ formally\, they have overlapping themes that explore heritage\, transitional spaces\, and the trajectory of clay as an art medium. Together\, the artists have dug clay from Los Angeles county to use for their new show\, “The Institute of Ceramics and Alliance.” Visitors will be invited to interact with the clay in different ways. On the day of the opening\, Anna will host a community event where clay will be available for attendees to help make pieces that will be become part of the show\, and Brenda will provide a contemplative space to allow a respite for people to sit with clay in its slip form. For the duration of the show\, HRLA will have on display traditional and experimental pieces\, projections\, and clay in its fired form\, raw form\, and slip form. On May 3rd the artists will host a concert. At the closing on May 5th\, the artists will host a poetry reading.  \nEvent Calendar: \nApril 28th at 6-8 pm: Opening \nApril 28th 5-6 pm: “Hands in Clay” Community Activity  \nMay 3rd at 8-10 pm: Music by Sherry Valence \nMay 5th 1-5 pm: “Nuestra América” Poetry Reading Event \nAnna Delgado is an interdisciplinary artist working with ceramics and projection to address ideas of belonging\, migration\, and displacement. Her work has been included in multiple publications and exhibited throughout the US and Europe. She has co-written grants and managed teams to create and install large ceramic tile public art murals. Anna was a Teaching Fellow at UNC Chapel Hill and graduated with an MFA in 2015. She currently teaches ceramic art at CSU San Bernardino and Chaffey College. Anna’s artwork examines multicultural identity through fragments of stereotypical and ritualized objects and actions. She rediscovers and reinterprets what it means to be an American and is interested in the recurring relevance of images\, such as images of hands\, like 40\,000-year-old cave paintings of hand stencils and how similar they look to today’s emoji hands. Clay is a material with its own connotations\, and as a geographic marker\, it represents a place and is as nomadic as we are. Clay is one of the few materials used today in the same way as in ancient civilizations. \nBrenda Starks was born and raised in Southern California and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. She received her BA from CSU San Bernardino and is an MFA candidate at CSU Los Angeles. Brenda creates large sculptural works\, and although she is very enthusiastic about ceramics\, her conceptual inclinations are such that no one medium will satisfy her work. Her sculptural works are created with undertones that probe slyly at African-American identity\, pop culture\, music\, technology\, politics and social activism. Brenda’s work has been displayed in galleries throughout California including at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex\, and her ceramic works can be seen in Sam Maloof’s Permanent Collection. Brenda is interested in creating a place where people can share their different values or traditions with one another and reflect these ideas in that space. She is interested in creating images with raw clay because it becomes the landscape that it physically came from\, and simultaneously it can be converted into a secondary and potentially completely different form. \nMay 3rd at 8pm: Music by Sherry Valence  \nHRLA and The Institute of Ceramics and Alliance will host music by Sherry Valence.  Sherry Valence is an Indie Pop band formed in 2016. The band consists of vocalist Danielle Zamora\, guitarist Ryan Massie\, guitarist Jess Kelly\, bassist Sean Kelly\, and drummer Joseph Gallegos. Sherry Valence is a Los Angeles band and they released their first EP\, Call Your Dogs\, on January 27\, 2018. \nMay 5th from 1-4pm: Nuestra América Poetry Reading \n“Nuestra América” celebrates the unique voices and styles of writers and poets who live in Southern California. The title of the poetry reading refers to José Martí’s seminal essay\, which was first published in 1891 in La Revista Ilustrada de Nueva York (New York) and then in El Partido Liberal (Mexico City). In his essay\, Martí highlights the independent spirit of the people of the Americas. Please join us and experience the distinct performances of Tristan Douglas Acker\, Alex Avila\, Juan Delgado\, Kelly Dortch\, Allyson Jeffredo\, Lilliana Gallegos\, George Hammons\, Timothy Hatch\, Angela Peñaredondo\, Daiana Rodriguez\, Isabel Quintero\, Micah Tasaka\, and others. A variety of themes will be touched on\, and since the reading is on Cinco De Mayo\, some of the performers will speak to what they cherish and what they reclaim about nuestra América.

SUMMARY:Biquini Wax: A Dangerous Obsession
DESCRIPTION:A Dangerous Obsession\n(A thriller of plastic moments)\nMay 11th-28th\nOrganized by Biquini Wax EPS \n \nA Dangerous Obsession (A thriller of plastic moments)\n  \n\nExhibition Dates: May 11th-28th\nOpening Reception: Friday\, May 11th\, 7-10pm \nExhibition is open on Saturdays and Sundays\, 12-8pm\, and by appointment. \nOrganized by Biquini Wax EPS \n\n  \nDuring three weekends in May\, writers and artists based here (USA) or based there (MX) will explore the marshy lands of NAFTAlgia in search of the mythical trade deficit. \nA Dangerous Obsession alludes to the temptation of US presidents (from George W. Bush to Donald Trump) to justify trade wars in the name of a “trade deficit.” \nWe believe that Trump uses the trade deficit\, and specifically that of the automobile industry\, as a rhetorical and ideological strategy of nostalgia\, because it uses one of the pillars of the modern American nation: the automobile industry\, and the myths of companies such as Ford\, General Motors\, etc. The slogan of his campaign\, “Make America Great Again”\, responds to the popular demand and the desire to believe that there was a better form of capitalism. This populist rhetoric assumes that the way to sublimate the United State’s current economic impotence\, brought about by the failure or end of this ‘pure’ capitalism –an earthly paradise– is by pointing out the culprits of its disappearance: Mexico\, China\, Russia\, the Middle East\, etc. \nFor A Dangerous Obsession we have compiled a series of economic-political histories of commodities —a series of critiques on commodity fetishism— that use as their starting point the trade deficit and the renegotiation of NAFTA\, written by storytellers from the US and Mexico. \nWe will summon a certain “structure of feeling”\, which we have called Naftalgia (a combination of nostalgia and NAFTA). Naftalgia is a type of specific sensibility under neoliberalism\, conditioned and motivated by the illusion of a better Mexico / USA\, which has been and continues to be culturally consumed as comprised of a general lacking; an ideological deficit of the promise of capitalist plenitude now absent\, on hold\, or disappeared forever. \nThis transnational impulse has a hole\, a house and a temple. From the hole it comes out exports-imports from CDMX-LA and LA-CDMX\, the house it is BWEPS house but shrinked by a shrink ray that we built after a succesful Kickstarter campaign and the temple it is a broadcasting live stream confessionary on YouTube about Naftalgia experiences and other contemporaries structures of feelings. \nA project with arts\, images\, moves\, ideas\, feelings\, thoughts\, words by Román Luján\, Gerardo Contreras\, Zyanya Arellano\, Nancy García\, Carlos Val\, Aron Chilewich\, Namourah\, Havi\, Perrealismo\, Baile\, liberación y resistencia\, Edna Dávalos\, Mario V Romero\, Verónica González\, Diana Cantarey\, Yacusis\, Arte y Trabajo\, Noél René Cisneros\, Nora de la Cruz\, Jorge Comensal\, Aura García Junco\, Yolanda Segura\, Víctor Santana\, Isauro Huizar\, Manuel Solano\, John Bartle\, Israel Urmeer\, Nika Chillewich\, Natalia de la Rosa\, Valentina de la Rosa\, Paloma Contreras Lomas\, Andrea Medina\, Daniel (little bitch) Aguilar Ruvalcaba\, Sebastian Hernandez\, Wendy Cabrera Rubio\, David Gilbert\, Clara Bolivar\, Bernardo Núñez Magdaleno\, Alejandro Gómez Arias\, Hugo Cervantes\, Samantha Blake Goodman\, Jennifer Tyburczy\,  Jorge Satorre\, Abraham González Pacheco\, Gustavo Cruz\, SM Yaniz\, Roselin Rodríguez\, Torie Zalben\, Neil Mauricio Andrade\, Andrea Ancira\, Cristóbal Gracia\, irak morales\, Iñaki Bonillas\, Andrew Roberts\, Mauricio Múñoz\, Pierre Vals and José María Rubio\, Madeline Jimenez\, Arnold J Kemp\, kids from the house behind\, protestors\,  Caroline Laura Gabrielle\, cannibis artis\, SANGREE\, Bob Square Pans fans\, and sandwich artist from Guanajuato. and many other whatever beings… \n  \nThroughout the exhibition Isauro Huizar will do an object based choreography with artworks\, fragments and material feelings imported from the house of Biquini Wax\, made by Pierre Vals and José María Rubio\, Madeline Jimenez\, John Bartle\, Cristóbal Gracia\, Arnold J Kemp\, Daniel Aguilar Ruvalcaba\, kids from the house behind\, protestors\, Manuel Solano\, Mauricio Múñoz\, Arte y Trabajo\, Israel Urmeer\, Caroline Laura Gabrielle\, Wendy Cabrera Rubio\, Paloma Contreras Lomas\, SANGREE\, Bob Square Pans fans\, and sandwich artist from Guanajuato. \n♥ Friday May 11th ♥ \n→ 8:00pm ← PST \nMembers of Biquini Wax EPS will read two poems.

Artists\, writers\, editors\, historians\, philosophers\, curators and whatever beings are part of the sect. It is profane\, pubic and all their rituals are free such as readings groups\, exhibitions\, seminars and other kinds of exorcisms. With a focus on the study and critical production of contemporary art\, Biquini Wax E.P.S. is also distinguished by a frenetic program of activities always linked to the sect’s interests: humor\, economy\, Modern Mexican Art\, painting\, philosophy\, literature\, Marxism\, Visual Studies\, digital culture\, criticism\, and more. Biquini Wax E.P.S. was founded on Leon\, Guanajuato in 2011 and since 2013 has been located in Mexico City. Indeed\, we love John Burtle. \nGraphic by Isauro Huizar \nThis project is supported by Gueshaus Residencies
