SUMMARY:A Motorbike Sunbathes on a Patch of Plastic Turf
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: August 24\, 6-10pm\nExhibition Dates: August 24—September 3\, 2018\nGallery Hours: Tuesday—Sunday\, 12—6pm \nA Motorbike Sunbathes on a Patch of Plastic Turf is a series of videos\, installations and sculptures by Berlin-based Tra My Nguyen and London-based Annie Mackinnon. Drawing upon family and the artists’ Vietnamese and Chinese backgrounds\, the works focus upon identifying connections\, disconnections and nostalgia surrounding commodities within the tangling nexus of hyper-consumption. \nTra My Nguyen’s work examines motorbike culture in Vietnam\, examining it from both a Western and local standpoint. Stemming from childhood memories riding in Vietnam\, to her mother selling her motorbike to move to Germany\, the motorbike becomes symbolic of freedom to many locals. This is in contrast to Western tourist’s fascination and fetishisation\, where the image of an overstocked Vietnamese Motorbike is perceived almost as novelty. \nAnnie Mackinnon explores the idea of lying products and marketing lies: promises of reconnecting with nature through purchasing North Face Jackets. Through repurposing discarded outdoors gear into products which ‘connect you with nature’\, the videos and installations slip between nature documentary and interactions with quasi functional designed objects. Interview scenes with her Mother who grew up with nine siblings in rural China\, explore the transformation from having no conceptualisation of ‘nature’ beyond basic survival\, to an increasingly materialistic shift\, where her Grandma now parades diamanté jackets in fashion shows in her old people’s home.

SUMMARY:Color Objectivism\, Harmonic Distortion and the Illusion of the Noise-Free System\, Vol. 2
DESCRIPTION:A series of light and sound performances by Sam Rowell \nThursday\, September 6th: 8pm & 10pm \nFriday\, September 7th: 2pm\, 4pm\, 8pm\, 10pm & midnight \nSaturday\, September 8th: noon \nJoin in an investigation of the hidden nature of color. Experience the perception of light in the non-visual centers of your brain. Listen to the communal neural network. Examine your viscera through the confluence of light and sound. \nSam Rowell is a musician\, creative broadcaster\, and visual artist. She is one-half of radical improv project Eloe Omoe and curates the radio program Special Collections on KCHUNG. Neither a visualization of sound nor a sonification of color\, her sound/light practice combines lush and undulating hues with abstract and dissonant sounds to create meditative and explorative space for the eyes\, ears\, and mind. \nImage: Photo of the interior of the artist’s eye (2018)

Wayne Yang\, and Oscar Gutiérrez. More info here.\n\nOctober 28\, 2pm\nConversation between Cauleen Smith and Raquel Gutiérrez. More info here.\n\nA grammar built with rocks presents artistic practices that trace the racialized and gendered relationship between bodies and land\, and question narratives of socioecological crisis that contribute to the displacement and erasure of people and collective formations. Through a two-part group exhibition\, public programming\, and publication\, the project aims to think with the land—materially and relationally—in order to unpack and historicize notions of waste and contamination as they relate to the politics of access\, property\, and the violence of land allotment. Together\, the featured works explore how the materiality of land permeates our identities and representational structures\, and simultaneously molds the body.\n\nThe project appropriates its title from Édouard Glissant’s writings\, as it looks to the ways in which the landscape contains\, unfolds\, and narrates its own history. It searches for traceable fissures within contested sites\, as an aftermath of violence and altering states of upheaval. The exhibition at Human Resources considers the material\, psychic\, and social relations that constitute place as a site of knowledge production\, and the “below” (below-ground\, below-surface) as emblematic of both resistance and retreat. Together\, the works and programs expose the violence inherent in geographic processes (of territorialization\, privatization\, and urban renewal) and offer artistic methodologies (of documentation\, performance\, and embodied archival practices) that surface buried histories and reorient perspectives to understand land as a bearer of relationships\, resilience\, and memory. The exhibition at ONE Archives at the USC Libraries extends this inquiry to center on the interrelation between the body and place\, exploring how discourses of value and waste (through motifs of the toxic\, the disposable\, the contaminant) influence individual and collective spatial agency.\n\nA grammar built with rocks began with research into the 1950s history of the Chavez Ravine evictions\, and expanded with the following questions:\nHow does unearthing soil\, sediments\, remnants\, and buried life-forms open up space for concealed voices and histories\, and reveal interconnected systems of power and violence on people and place? What does thinking geography relationally rather than territorially look like? How do\nmeta-narratives of development\, modernization\, and crisis contribute to practices of dispossession?\n\nCurated by Shoghig Halajian and Suzy Halajian.\n\nThe project includes the following exhibition and programming:\n\nONE Archives at the USC Libraries\nOpening Saturday\, October 13\, 5-8pm\nOctober 13 – December 22\, 2018\n\nExhibition\nMarwa Arsanios\, Pauline Boudry / Renate Lorenz\, Shannon Ebner\,
