SUMMARY:LAURA PARNES: TOUR WITHOUT END
DESCRIPTION:SCREENING OF TOUR WITHOUT END (92 min.) AND LIVE PERFORMANCES INCLUDING RACHEL MASON AND BRONTEZ PURNELL\nFRIDAY\, JANUARY 17\, starting at 8\, Suggested donation $10 \nSCREENING OF TOUR WITHOUT END (92 min.) AND CONVERSATION WITH CHRIS KRAUS AND LAURA PARNES\nON FRIDAY\, JANUARY 24\, starting at 8\, Suggested donation $10 \nGALLERY HOURS: Wednesday through Sunday\, noon-6:00pm and by appointment. \nPRESS PREVIEW LINK AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST\nOrganized by Jeanne Vaccaro\nPress contact: jeannevaccaro@gmail.com or tourwithoutend@gmail.com \nLOS ANGELES\, CA- Human Resources is pleased to present Tour Without End (2014-2019)\, a multi-platform installation that casts real-life musicians\, artists and actors as bands on tour\, and expands into a cross-generational\, Trump–era commentary on contemporary culture and politics. It features members of Gang Gang Dance\, LeTigre\, The Julie Ruin\, MEN\, Eartheater\, MGMT\, Light Asylum\, and more. \nShot in real environments and situations\, the core group of players improvised based on semi-scripted scenes. Because many of these performers are legends themselves in the New York City downtown scene\, they are archetypes playing archetypes.  The work revels in the sometimes hilarious — but always complex — band dynamics that the characters endure while touring\, collaborating\, and aging in a youth-driven music industry. As the players move in and out of character\, blending fiction and real life\, the film moves in and out of non-linear narrative and historical document.  Shot from 2014–2018 at over 15 DIY music spaces in and around New York City — many of which have since shuttered their doors — the film acts as an urgent time capsule for the rapidly gentrifying city.  \nThe installation version highlights the extensive and growing archive of live performance in NYC shot during the four-year production schedule and the raw footage from the improvised scenes. These include more than thirty musicians and ten underground music venues. The archive expands as the project is shown. Portraits of performers taken By Justine Kurland are central to the installation.  The feature film (92 min) will screen everyday at 12\, 1:32\, 3:04\, 4:36. The installation is travelling and was just exhibited at Burchfield Penney in Buffalo\, NY. \nThe film’s multitude of characters include:  Wooster Group founder Kate Valk\, Jim Fletcher (The NYC Players)\, musicians Lizzi Bougatsos\, (Gang Gang Dance)\, Kathleen Hanna (The Julie Ruin)\, Brontez Purnell (The Younger Lovers)\, Eileen Myles\, Alexandra Drewchin (Eartheater)\, Nicole Eisenman\, K8 Hardy\, Johanna Fateman (Le Tigre) Shannon Funchess (Light Asylum)\, JD Samson (MEN)\, Gary Indiana\, Kembra Pfahler\, (Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black)\, Rachel Mason\, Tom McGrath\, Matthew Asti (MGMT)\, Becca Blackwell\, Christen Clifford\, Alessandra Genovese (Crush)\, Rogelio Ramos (Love Pig)\, Kenya Robinson (Cheeky LaShae) and Neon Music (Youth Quake). \n Laura Parnes’ critically acclaimed films and installations address counter-cultural and youth-culture references where the music is integral to the work. Her work has been screened and exhibited widely in the US and internationally\, including at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, NY; MoMA PS1\, NY; Miami Museum of Contemporary Art\, FL; Brooklyn Museum; Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art\, Athens; The International Film Festival Rotterdam\, Rotterdam\, Netherlands; and Museo Nacional Centro De Arte Reina Sofia\, Madrid; and NY and on PBS and Spanish Television. Recently she had solo exhibitions at LA><\, LA\, Participant Inc.\, Fitzroy Gallery; and solo screenings at the Museum of Modern Art\, and The Kitchen\, New York City. Parnes is a 2013 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellow\, a 2014 NYFA recipient\, and a 2016 Creative Capital Awardee. Video Data Bank published a box set of her work\, and Participant Press published a book of her scripts titled ‘Blood and Guts in Hollywood: Two Screenplays’ by Laura Parnes with an introduction by Chris Kraus. She has also directed music videos for The Julie Ruin and Le Tigre. \nTour Without End is made possible with funds from The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, Creative Capital and the New York State Council on the Arts in Partnership with Wave Farm: Media Arts Assistance Fund\, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts\, Electronic Media and Film Program\, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:KEN EHRLICH: DYSFUNCTIONAL FURNITURE
DESCRIPTION:Opening Friday\, January 31: 7–9pm\n\nClosing event Sunday\, Feb 16: 4-6pm\nMusic by Adam Samuel Goldman\, toasts\, conversation about living with dysfunction.\n\n  \nGallery Hours: Thursday-Sunday noon-6pm\nand by appointment [contact ken at kenehrlich dot net]\nnote: the Firecracker 5K/10K  goes right down Broadway on 2/16\, but should have finished before noon.\n\n  \nHuman Resources is pleased to present Dysfunctional Furniture\, an exhibition of new work by artist Ken Ehrlich. The show presents a range of works that are at once sculptural and in direct conversation with furniture design. Made from gleaned building materials\, objects range from playful to aggressive\, displaying a rough\, informal aesthetic and refined craftsmanship. Many balance precariously and pose a slight sense of danger: Glass juts out at unexpected angles\, sharp edges lean uncomfortably\, and weight and balance seem unsteady. The installation toys with the tension between the utility of furniture and the perceived uselessness of sculpture.\n\n\n  \nIn the months preceding the exhibition\, the artist asked Los Angeles writers to ‘host’ one of the dysfunctional furniture pieces in their home for a period of time and reflect on daily life with that object. The exhibit includes a pamphlet of their writings and a series of diptychs\, which present the works in situ alongside a portrait of each host.\n\n\n  \nIn conceiving the project\, the artist was inspired by several texts from 1972\, which is also the year he was born. In that year both The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community by Mariarosa Dalla Costa and Selma James and the seminal exhibition catalogue  Italy: The New Domestic Landscape were published. In The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community\, a collaboration between an American and an Italian thinker\, the writers begin by analyzing the role of the housewife in the political and economic context of Italy in the 1970’s. This text eventually offers an expansive critique of the dynamics of housework\, the family\, care work and the politics of gender more broadly within a capitalist economy. Texts by designers Gae Aulenti and Enzo Mari in the catalog from Italy: The New Domestic Landscape question to what extent design can meaningfully alter behavior in a capitalist context and examine the ways that experimentation in design circulates around economic questions. Putting feminist critiques in conversation with radical Italian design from the same period generates a series of questions that move back and forth along the edge of contemporary art and design\, placing the fine grain of individual daily life against the backdrop of broad social and political dynamics.\n  \nWriters who participated in the project include Gabrielle Civil\, Andrew Culp and Eva Della Lana\, Jennifer Doyle\, Amy Gerstler and Benjamin Weissman\, Maya Andrea Gonzalez\, Maya Gurantz and Allison Yasukawa. Copies of the pamphlet will be available at the exhibition. \n  \nKen Ehrlich was born in Taos\, NM and received a BA from New College of California and an MFA from CalArts. His wide ranging practice in sculpture\, photography\, video and performance has been presented internationally\, including at the California Pacific Triennial at the Orange County Museum of Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, The Hammer Museum and High Desert Test Sites. His writing has been published widely\, including mostly recently a text on networks\, infrastructure and logistics in Blind Field Journal as well as a forthcoming text on networks in Drain Magazine. He co-edited the Surface Tension book series for Errant Bodies Press. He currently hosts the bi-monthly radio show *segments* on KCHUNG Radio and is on the organizing committee of The Public School\, Los Angeles. He has taught at UC Irvine\, Woodbury University\, CalArts and UC Riverside.
