SUMMARY:A grammar built with rocks
DESCRIPTION:Image: Cauleen Smith\, Remote Viewing\, 2009\, video still\, 15:13 min. Courtesy of the artist\, Corbett vs. Dempsey\, Chicago\, and Kate Werble Gallery\, New York. \nOpening: Saturday\, September 29\, 7-10pm\nSeptember 29 – November 4\, 2018\n\nExhibition\nCarmen Argote\, Julien Creuzet\, DAAR (Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency)\, Sandra de la Loza\, Regina José Galindo\, Adam Khalil\, Zack Khalil and Jackson Polys\, Zara Kuredjian\, Uriel Orlow\, Gala Porras-Kim\, Susan Silton\, and Cauleen Smith\n\nPublic programs\nOctober 20 & 21\, noon-6pm\nScreening\, Basma Alsharif: Ouroboros (on loop during gallery hours)\n\nOctober 26\, 7pm\nScreening and performance\, Adam Khalil\, Jackson Polys\, and KITE: The Informants\nFollowed by a conversation with Adam Khalil\, Jackson Polys\, KITE\, K. 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\,
and Park McArthur\n\nPublic program\nOctober 13\, 7:30pm\nPerformance\, Dorian Wood: Eucalipto\n\nREDCAT\nDecember 10\, 8:30pm\nScreening and Q&A\, Jumana Manna: Wild Relatives\n\nPublication\nNewly commissioned and existing text contributors include:\nAntke Engel and Renate Lorenz\, DAAR (Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency)\, Sandra de la Loza\, Raquel Gutiérrez\, Shoghig Halajian\, Suzy Halajian\, Candice Lin\, and Carl A. Zimring. Design by Tanya Rubbak.\n\nA grammar built with rocks is supported by the Cultural Services of the French Embassy\, Goethe-Institut\, Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant\, ONE Archives at the USC Libraries\, and Pasadena Art Alliance.

SUMMARY:Seashell Aesthetics
DESCRIPTION:Seashell Aesthetics is an exhibition building upon a 2017 essay of the same name by Martabel Wasserman published in Yes Femmes. It explores catastrophes posed by carbon\, plastic\, oil and other byproducts of capitalism polluting the ocean. The shell becomes a way to think with a material that eventually decomposes into fossil fuel. It is both about materiality and possibilities for metaphor. The photographic work by Wasserman that frames the exhibition explores connections between the structural challenges we face (housing\, scare work opportunities\, high cost of living) with those facing the shelled sea critters at the who share our coast. Seashell Aesthetics takes as its subjects “bottom feeders” or smaller creatures who are less often evoked as spokes creatures in mainstream climate change discourse. The work seeks to create connections between the disintegration of shells caused by ocean acidification and desire for security and structure as the public sphere is attacked. Camp becomes the aesthetic approach\, in an attempt to mobilize humor and melancholy simultaneously as a call for increased interspecies solidarity. While Susan Sontag wrote “nothing in nature can be campy\,” the work is this show insists upon camp as a strategy to look at the ways in which nature and culture co-constitute each other. \nJoshua Thomen will be showing (If I knew how to cry) (2018) which explores his existence that lays between two poles: one where his queer brown body is systemically erased and the reality where his body is hypervisible and easily identifiable. The form shape shifts between an everyday baseball hat (à la Claes Oldenburg) to biological bodily symbols of a protective shell. Joshua Thomen uses softness as a radical idea to push against hegemonic masculinity and speak to labor of the subaltern. He is featured with his oceanic soft sculptural work in Wasserman’s photographs. Additionally\, they will be collaborating on soft sculptures of kelp\, a crucial element of coastal health. A collaborative sculptural centerpiece by Dulce Ibarra Soledad\, Thomen and Wasserman inspired by Botticelli’s Birth of Venus will visually ask how love can be reborn to respond to the multiplying crises of the anthropocene. Viewers can stand on a reinterpreted half shell and channel their desires for a flourishing future beyond sustaining the status quo. \nThe exhibition will feature sculptural installation and a night of performances\, Nature Camp\, on November 25\, in conversation with the idea of seashell aesthetics. Michelle Antonisse and Edgar Fabián Frías\, two of the curators/ performers of Nature Camp will have corresponding installations in the show. Additionally\, in the upstairs gallery Sarah Zucker will be presenting Neon Womb\, an immersive and healing experience. \nopen gallery hours are as follows: \nThurs 11/15: 2-7pm\nFri 11/16: 2-7pm\nSun 11/18: 12-4pm\nWeds 11/21: 2-7pm\nFri 11/23: 2-7pm\nSat 11/24: 12-6pm\nSun 11/25: 4-9 performance and reception \nAdditional hours can be arranged by appointment
