This performance is presented off-site. \n\n\n\nSit down and you will hear a story about a time when someone consented or dissented in the context of religion or faith. Then tell this story back\, “reversing” the terms of consent or dissent. This reversal can range from simply replacing the terms used in the original narrative (i.e. replacing “yes” with “no”) to inventing new details entirely. After that\, tell a story of your own about a time you consented or dissented in the context of religion or faith. This will be the story told as accurately as possible to the next person. Your voice will be recorded\, but not your image. \n\n\n\nDisconsent: Faith is a live iteration of Shvarts’ broader Disconsent series\, which examine the relationships between consent\, which often takes the form of a speech act\, and its imperfect opposite—dissent—which often exceeds speech to take the form of silence\, protest\, or other forms of bodily action. \n\n\n\nTo respond to the artist’s invitation & request a time\, please fill out this form. Once we have coordinated appointments\, we will send a confirmation email with details.

During the nine years that followed\, the Turkish Armed Forces persecuted over three million people from the revolutionary movement. Between 1980 and 1985\, the military government arrested 750\,000 of them; blacklisted 1\,683\,000; tried 230\,000 in 210\,000 lawsuits; sentenced 7\,000 to death; revoked the citizenship of 17\,000; and denied 388\,000 the right to obtain a passport. The government admits that 400 people disappeared (the true number is certainly higher); another 400 died in prison. This coup was leveraged by the Carter administration\, and then supported through military aid by the Reagan Administration. \n2 or 3 Things I Know About Her is an exhibition by artist Hande Sever\, who recalls her mother’s experience of the junta in Turkey through reconstructed memories\, walnut frames\, and oral history. After the coup\, prisons became synonymous with torture centers – the most notorious of which were Metris\, Diyarbakır and Ulucanlar. The artist’s mother was kept in the Metris Military Prison – now known as Metris Closed Penitentiary. Taking up her mother’s memories of being a political prisoner\, the work tackles subjects such as military violence\, censorship\, and mass incarceration. Turning to the past in order to make sense of the present\, 2 or 3 Things I Know About Her unearths the historical processes that led to the extermination of a generation\, and\nreplaces within the scale of bodies the violence perpetrated by US-backed political interests in West Asia\, reminding its audience of the consequences of actions taken by military officials for national domination\, and what the dominated was left to witness. \n  \n \n“They would give me a batch of flyers. The flyers contained anti-facist and anti-imperialist information. My task was to get to a crowded public square\, or preferably to a bus\, then toss the flyers in the air. I would run away as the flyers dropped on the floor. I needed to get out of there before the cops arrived. We aimed to find new allies and supporters through this. They would find us through the flyers.” \n— from a conversation with the artist’s father. \n  \n  \n \n“I was first imprisoned in Selimiye Military Prison in 1980\, then\, in 1981\, I was transported to Metris Military Prison. Selimiye was barracks hurriedly converted into a detention center to accommodate the mass incarceration of political dissidents. You know Ataol Behramoğlu. The poet. I was in the same ward with his partner. She believed that we would be released quickly because they couldn’t find enough evidence to press charges against me. It cost me four years of being detained. At the end of four years I was released.” \n— from a conversation with the artist’s mother. \n  \n  \n \n“Once I read that there are over one million victims of military torture in Turkey. I thought\, what an understatement. The number is definitely higher. After I was detained I was immediately blindfolded and handcuffed by the military. They left me for hours like that. What they called “Palestinian hanging” was the most common torture method the military used againt political dissidents. I couldn’t stop thinking about the torturers. Did they have loved ones? Can someone with such an appetite for cruelty have loved ones?” \n— from a conversation with the artist’s mother. \n  \n  \n \n  \nThis exhibition was hosted by Actual Size\, as part of HRLA’s TSM Residency program URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/hande-sever-2-or-3-things-i-know-about-her/ LOCATION:actual size\, 741 New High St.\, Los Angeles\, CA\, CA\, 90012 CATEGORIES:Artist in Residence,off-site event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/2-or-3-Things-I-Know-About-Her_v06-scaled.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20200828 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20200901 DTSTAMP:20260818T083655 CREATED:20200828T222634Z LAST-MODIFIED:20200828T223331Z UID:5296-1598594400-1598853599@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Seren Sensei DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 28th – Sunday\, August 30th \nHRLA presents 2 videos by Time Space Money artist-in-residence Seren Sensei at Actual Size\, which can been seen from the sidewalk\, any time of day or night: The [Black] Americans EXTRAS: Detroit and Five Years Since Ferguson \n \n \nFrom the artist: ‘I’m Seren Sensei\, and I am a filmmaker\, writer\, cultural critic and artist. My work is dedicated to archiving and exploring the cultural narratives of Black Americans – Descendants of American Chattel Slavery (BA-DACS); my cultural criticism has been printed in such publications as Riot Material and NYLON\, and referenced in Jacobin Mag\, Vulture\, Complex\, Newsweek\, AJ+\, People\, Netflix\, Vice\, and more. I was recently named a 2020 Indie Memphis Black Filmmaker Resident for my screenplay\, ‘KITT.’ As an anti-capitalist and anarchist\, I am also constantly seeking out ways to dismantle the hegemonies of systems of racism\, sexism\, classism\, homophobia\, able-bodiedness\, and the like. Specializing in race\, culture\, and sociopolitical theory\, I also facilitate an active community of over 43\,000 subscribers and 7 million views on my YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/c/senseiaishitemasu)\, where I have released two seasons of the documentary web series ‘The [Black] Americans.’ \nThe [Black] Americans EXTRAS: Detroit features a conversation on Black American Detroit culture as well as an example of ‘ballrooming\,’ which is a cultural dance.

Delany Book Club: Session I DESCRIPTION:Would you like to read and discuss the work of polymathic and prolific genius Samuel R. Delany in an informal book club setting? This summer Human Resources Los Angeles [HRLA] is hosting up a free book club. Our first meeting will be at Pho 87 in Chinatown [1019 N Broadway\, LA CA 90012]\, next door to HRLA gallery. \nAnyone interested in reading about race\, speculation\, sex\, post-structuralism\, memoir\, fantasy\, S&M\, feminism\, writing\, queerness\, class\, slave rebellion\, science fiction\, myth\, and/or fabulation is welcome to join. \nOur first meeting we will discuss an excerpt from Delany’s book Times Square Red\, Times Square Blue (1999)\, the book that launched the Sexual Cultures book series from NYU press (founding editors José Esteban Muñoz and Ann Pellegrini). You can download the PDF here. The book discusses the effects of gentrification on the queer interzones of cruising in Manhattan. \nRead the writer’s preface\, 1-19\, 57-88\, and 111-119. Come with thoughts and questions for each other — any and all questions welcome. \nYes\, this is last minute — but we thought it’d be extra special to kick this project off during the exhibition of Tyler Matthew Oyer’s installation Conquest of the University or When Queens Collide. Tyler’s project celebrates Charles Ludlum’s Ludlum’s Ridiculous Theatrical Company — this kind of experimental work is part of Delany’s universe! \nExtra credit reading: Junot Diaz interview with Samuel Delany in the Boston Review\, “Radicalism Begins in the Body.” URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/samuel-r-delany-book-club-session-i/ LOCATION:Pho 87\, 1019 N Broadway\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012\, United States CATEGORIES:off-site event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/delany.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161113T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161113T170000 DTSTAMP:20260818T083655 CREATED:20161110T193229Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161110T193229Z UID:2298-1479056400-1479056400@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Open Reading in Solidarity DESCRIPTION:Human Resources\, Poetic Research Bureau\, and Veggie Cloud invite you to an open reading this Sunday the 13th\, starting at 5pm and going till late\, at VEGGIE CLOUD: 5210 Monte Vista St\, 90042. \nThis will be an informal\, open forum for poetry\, prose\, dialogue\, and information exchange about the current political situation. Implication for media makers\, and local organizing to be discussed. Write something\, or bring anything else you’d like to read or share\, for around five minutes or less. \nVideo screening / Skype facilities also available. \nAll welcome\, including kids. Extra snacks and drinks encouraged. \nIn devastation and hardened resolve\,\nVC\, HR\, PRB \n***Note that this off-site event will be held at Veggie Cloud\, not at HR URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/open-reading-in-solidarity/ LOCATION:Veggie Cloud\, 5210 Monte Vista St\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90042\, United States CATEGORIES:off-site event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/unnamed-1.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160622T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160622T190000 DTSTAMP:20260818T083655 CREATED:20160614T224238Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160614T224410Z UID:2095-1466622000-1466622000@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Friends Series #5: Alice Wang and Luke Fischbeck DESCRIPTION:A discussion that takes as its starting point\, and as a periodic interruption\, the idea of a sound fossil—a material index of acoustic activity\, or a way of accessing past or future time through a perpetual sonic present. \nAlice Wang lives and works in Los Angeles.

For this – her first appearance in Los Angeles – she returns to a long-running duo with local Lucas Gorham\, himself a versatile guitarist whose lap steel work can just as easily conjure sheer cliffs of sound as it can pastoral reflection. \nEwen and Gorham each embraced improvisation and the outré as teens; they are part of a generation of deep listeners and soulful players who grew up in Houston\, Texas inspired and encouraged by the progressive education and creative music organization called Nameless Sound. That group and the surrounding scene offered them many a meeting in various sized ensembles to discover the interplay of their approaches. Together\, as a duo\, they air a gripping dialog. \nAngelenos who track now sound now have already been rewarded with a chance or two to catch Ted Byrnes and William Hutson parry and shuffle. Known to be at the controls behind the hissful swells of Rale and the cut-up shred of clipping.’s avant-hop\, here Hutson “plays the heads” re-sourcing sound from rather large tape loops. These voltages – dithered to magnetism and then diffused – are a made match with Byrnes’ own bias breaking: eschewing hum-drum drum rhythms\, he brazes\, hits\, and rattles a battery of things\, pouring out granular sound\, dashing dots and stacking crackles. \nExtending through technique and tech\, Kathleen Kim’s idiomatic play of the violin is a fluid free sail. T’was evidenced by her set at the solos show at LACA that welcomed Bill Nace to town this January. In the months since\, the assorted angles of Bill’s electric guitar repertoire have been a welcome addition to local sonic action. As each of them has a deft touch and empathetic response\, here they join for their first encounter as a duo.

Improvisation is now an equal component to composition in his work. LFZ is Smith’s current musical endeavor. Guitar is at the heart and synthesizers come into play at times\, all manipulated by a vast array of analog and digital devices. The music is emotionally driven and rides the line between composition and improvisation. There is a deep experimentalism captured in the music of LFZ – all executed by tangible means. LFZ is exploratory of sights\, sounds and the phenomenological. Fripp & Eno\, Terry Riley\, and Michael Rother are some referential touchstones\, yet\, LFZ does not set out to mimic or cash in on its predecessors. Smith is also the owner and operator of the record label\, Stimulus Progression. \nFor all tour dates throughout 2016\, Smith will be performing music from the recent debut LFZ album. At select shows\, he will perform the piece\, “…city of god” by Science Fiction\, a composition for tape loops and live guitar solo originally released in 1981 in a private press edition. Re-issues available 5/27 from Stimulus Progression. \nhttp://www.stimulusprogression.com/l-f-z-1/\nhttps://lfzunlimited.bandcamp.com/ \nOFFING (Chris Duncan)\nChris Duncan is an Oakland-based artist who employs repetition and accumulation as a basis for experiments in visual and sound based media. Often in flux between maximal and minimal\, Duncan’s work is a constant balancing act of positive or negative\, loud or quite\, solitary or participatory and tends to lead towards questions regarding perception\, experience and transcendence. Outside of his studio practice he organizes events and runs a small artist book press and record label called LAND AND SEA with his wife Maggie Otero. Duncan earned his BFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts and his Masters Degree in Art Practice from Stanford University. Under the moniker OFFING\, Duncan creates open ended sound paintings rooted in the accumulation of simple tones made from tuning forks and harmonicas combined with field recordings of natural phenomena. \nhttp://christopherrobinduncan.virb.com/\nhttps://soundcloud.com/chris-duncan-3/painting-v \nOdeya Nini is a Los Angeles based experimental vocalist and contemporary composer. At the locus of her interests are textural harmony\, gesture\, tonal animation\, and the illumination of minute sounds\, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body\, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur. Odeya has collaborated extensively with dancers\, visual artist\, filmmakers and theater directors as both a composer and soloist and has worked with artists such as Meredith Monk\, Butch Morris and LA’s contemporary orchestra – Wild Up.\nOdeya’s work has been presented at venues and festivals across the US and internationally\, such as The Hammer Museum\, REDCAT\, Joyce Soho\, and Art Basel Miami\, from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv\, Canada\, Mongolia\, Madagascar and Vietnam. She has lectured as a guest artist on contemporary vocal techniques and composition and leads workshops on voice and movement.\nOdeya holds a BFA from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music where she studied with vocalist Theo Bleckmann\, and an MFA in composition from California Institute of the Arts. Her debut album Vougheauxyice (Voice)\, for solo voice\, was released in April of 2014 on pfMENTUM records. \nhttp://www.odeyanini.com \nhttps://odeyanini1.bandcamp.com \nr.r. barbadas\nLos Angeles duo comprised of Rona Rapadas & Robbee Barber.

This year is a pivotal year for the jail fight\, as construction on the new women’s jail is slated to begin early next year. The LA No More Jails Coalition has been fighting LA County’s jail plan through its various forms since 2011\, and we are looking to build support and amplify the voices of those most directly impacted by the construction of a new jail. For our annual Mother’s Day event\, we will have interactive stations for families and supporters to write messages to their loved ones locked inside\, with a giant Mother’s Day Card to sign\, an instax photo booth for portraits of visitors to take home and post in the Mother’s Day card\, and an arts and crafts station where children can make their own cards. The LA No More Jails Coalition intends to create a space of warmth\, love\, and resistance at what is normally an intensely violent and sad space for families. We want to build community to be able to support people with imprisoned loved ones while also building opposition to the jail plan by holding space to talk about community alternatives to the policing and prisons that ravage our communities and take away our loved ones. \n \nThis event is part of the DecolonizeLA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs.

She has been a Radcliffe fellow\, a Guggenheim fellow\, and a Rockefeller fellow. Her films and photographic work have been widely exhibited at international film festivals and in museums\, cultural institutions\, and galleries around the world. She is currently an associate professor at the University of Southern California’s Roski School of Fine Arts. \nJames Benning: “I was born in Milwaukee\, Wisconsin\, during World War II in a German working class community that sent its sons to fight their cousins. My father worked on the assembly line for a heavy industry corporation that was then building landing gear for the U.S. military. Later he became a self-taught building designer. I played baseball for the first 20 years of my life receiving a degree in mathematics while playing on a baseball scholarship. I dropped out of graduate school to deny my military deferment (my friends were dying in Viet Nam) and worked with migrant workers in Colorado teaching their children how to read and write. Later I helped start a commodities food program that fed the poor in the Missouri Ozarks. At the age of 33 I received an MFA from the University of Wisconsin where I studied with David Bordwell. For the next four years I taught filmmaking at Northwestern University\, University of Wisconsin\, University of Oklahoma and the University of California San Diego. In 1980 I moved to lower Manhattan making films with the aid of grant and German Television money. After eight years in New York I moved to Val Verde\, California\, where I currently reside teaching film/video at California Institute of the Arts. In the past twenty-five years I have completed fourteen feature length films that have shown in many different venues across the world.” \nOrganized by LACA and Human Resources URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/friends-series-3-james-benning-and-sharon-lockhart/ LOCATION:LACA\, 2245 E Washington Blvd \, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90021\, United States CATEGORIES:off-site event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/benning-lockhart.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160401T170000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20160401T190000 DTSTAMP:20260818T083655 CREATED:20160412T083622Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160412T094144Z UID:1599-1459530000-1459537200@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Friends Series #2\, Erin Christovale and Henoch Moore DESCRIPTION:They will be speaking on black soundtracks and the parallels between rap and house music. \nErin Christovale is a curator and film programmer based in Los Angeles.

JAKE MEGINSKY . KATHLEEN KIM . ANDREW CHOATE DESCRIPTION:“the humble and unentitled”\npleasantly submit \nsolo sets by \nBILL NACE . JAKE MEGINSKY . KATHLEEN KIM . ANDREW CHOATE \ndoors at 8pm\nsound at 9pm \ndonate eight\n \nLos Angeles is the terminus of a January 2016 coast-to-coast tour by Jake Meginsky and Bill Nace. Though this pair of New England experimentalists have been collaborators for a decade and a half\, on this trek each plays a solo set. \nGuitarist Bill Nace brings a shredder instinct and deft touch to any gig or sesh\, as he’s done with figures as diverse as Chris Corsano\, Aaron Dilloway\, and Joe McPhee. This show will be Bill’s first solo set in L.A. this decade and also his first since embarking on what has become his best known project: the heavy-art guitar duo Body/Head with Kim Gordon. \nJake Meginsky is a rarefied percussionist who can embrace\, eschew\, or simply chew on rhythm. Jake’s tour rig may now be a shuffle of bits and bytes\, but his instincts as a hitter-of-things are intact. His digital concrète has opened the possibility of a spectralized batterie: recombining elements into a new flow\, or — just as easily — reducing them to crackle. \nKathleen Kim is a Los Angeles-based violinist and member of avant-chamber quartet L.A. Fog. Though she can extend through technique and technology\, the core of her sound imagination is an idiomatic play of the violin itself — fluidly free sailing as motifs rise and fall. \nAndrew Choate is an L.A. poet with humor and howl. His readings are LIVE and no doubt informed by the musics his Unwrinkled Ear chases: the new\, the out\, and the free. Those partial to entendre might say he is a “post” poet as he is currently blazing a new medium for the form via his instagram feed\, Saint Bollard. \n••• \nFor the sour serious and beer curious\, a private reserve of Oude Gueuze from Belgium’s Brouwerij DeTroch will be poured along with other refreshments.

Part 1 \nSAT NOV 14 & SUN Nov 15: SCREENING: Peter Watkins’ La Commune (Paris\, 1871) and Jasmina Metwaly and Philip Rizk’s Out on the Street \nThis program is conceived in conjunction and in dialogue with the exhibition The Closer I Get to the End the More I Rewrite the Beginning curated by Suzy Halajian and opening on November 21 at Human Resources Los Angeles. \nPart 1 is a 2-day video program curated by Clara López Menéndez and Suzy Halajian. \nNote: Screening will take place at 1009 N. Madison Ave. LA\, 90029. Due to the nature of the program please RSVP to invitation.of.sorts@gmail.com. \n  \nSaturday\, November 14\, 2-9pm \nScreening La Commune (Paris\, 1871)\, 2000\, 345 min / A film by Peter Watkins / Courtesy Icarus Films \nSunday\, November 15\, 5:30-9pm\nScreening of Jasmina Metwaly and Philip Rizk’s Out on the Street\, 2015\, 71 min\, followed by a discussion on both films \n  \nThe Closer I Get to the End the More I Rewrite the Beginning attempts to interrogate the state of exhaustion as a contemporary condition\, through the time and space that make it possible. The project questions the appearance and contours of social spaces that enable exhaustion\, and locates instances within these sites that allow for new forms of sociability. By considering both individual and collective states of being together situated within a neoliberal and mutating model of capitalism\, the exhibition asks how these spaces may be realized in a state of nonstop action and renewal and how their potentials may unfold over time. \nWhat is the social space created by a screening? And a film production? How do the conditions of production transform the material outcome independently of the medium’s qualities? What happens when exhausted political moments are mobilized by the desires behind filmmaking\, bringing into life a functional “lie” that helps understand the present? Is this reiteration of the past a legitimate tool or just a foolish operation? \nThis screening is exhausting and it’s set up as a social task. We wanted to gather a group in front of these films to outlive their length and engage in the complexity of the propositions they convey\, entangled in their attention to detail\, and aversion to synthesis. \nLa Commune (Paris\, 1871) \nFor the film La Commune we travel back in time to 1871 to the Paris Commune\, the French revolutionary government established by the people of Paris during the Franco-Prussian War (1871-1871). A journalist for Versailles Television broadcasts a soothing and official view of events while a Commune television is set up to provide the perspectives of the Paris rebels. On a stage-like set\, more than 200 actors interpret characters of the Commune\, especially the Popincourt neighborhood in the XIth arrondissement. They voice their own thoughts and feelings concerning the social and political reforms. The telling of this story rests primarily on depicting the people of the Commune\, and those who suppressed them. \nDeliberately\, this film is an attempt to challenge existing notions of documentary film\, as well as the notions of ‘neutrality’ and ‘objectivity’ so beloved by the mass media today. The film is not intended as an apologia on behalf of the Paris Commune. But at the same time\, it attempts to show that the Paris Commune\, for all its human frailty\, its internal conflicts and its blundering\, was an event of major importance\, not least because of the way in which its leading reformers tried to work with social process\, by a direct involvement with the community and its needs. \nOut on the Street \nOut on the Street is a film about a group of workers from one of Egypt’s working class neighborhoods\, Helwan. In the film ten working-class men participate in an acting workshop. Through the rehearsals\, stories emerge of factory injustice\, police brutality\, courts that fabricate criminal charges\, and countless tales of corruption and exploitation by their capitalist employers. On a rooftop studio overlooking the heart of Cairo – presented as a space between fact and fiction – the participants move in and out of character as they shape the performance that engages their daily realities. “Out on the Street” interweaves scenes from the workshop\, fictional performances\, and mobile phone footage shot by a worker intended as evidence for the courts to stop the destruction of his workplace. This hybrid approach aims to engage a collective imaginary\, situating the participants and spectators within a broader social struggle. \nLa Commune (Paris\, 1871) courtesy of Icarus Films\nOut on the Street courtesy of the artists\, Jasmina Metwaly and Philip Rizk URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/peter-watkins-la-commune-paris-1871/ CATEGORIES:off-site event ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/12194865_10207623000350679_5195445551435421359_o.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20150121T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20150121T230000 DTSTAMP:20260818T083655 CREATED:20160311T093552Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160525T023541Z UID:1398-1421870400-1421881200@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Touch/Volume: BJ Nilsen\, Mark Van Hoen & Pinkcourtesyphone DESCRIPTION:VOLUME is pleased to present an evening of performances by Touch related artists curated by Mike Harding. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nBJ Nilsen is a Swedish composer and sound artist based in Berlin and London.
