SUMMARY:Looking at Performance: Guts\, Lust and Kinks
DESCRIPTION:A screening and discussion of the work of Johanna Went and Michael Turinsky\, \nwith Doran George\, Johanna Went\, Christine Wertheim\, and Mark Wheaton. \nIn celebration of X-TRA’s summer issue\, a discussion and screening about looking at performance through the work of Johanna Went and Michael Turinsky. \nJoin us for this special program with the artist Johanna Went\, her collaborator Mark Wheaton\, and issue contributors Christine Wertheim and Doran George. \nBoth Wertheim and George take up positions of enamored spectatorship\, presenting carefully crafted responses to the exuberant performance work of their subjects (Johanna Went and Michael Turinsky\, respectively). Bodies figure prominently—sexy\, messy and alluring. \nWertheim ends : “Johanna Went is a Dionysian genius\, a Siren whose irresistible song cannot help but lure us into the temptations of ecstatic\, participatory\, and brave self-annihilation.” Went was a fixture on the 80s punk scene in LA\, performing over 200 times between 1978 and 1988. \nGeorge begins his letter to Michael Turinsky\, the Artist’s Project in this issue: “Dear Michael\, You are hot and I want to have sex with you…” This letter thus consciously opens up pleasure\, sensation\, and desire as strategies for thinking—or should I say feeling—about dance\, disability\, sexual culture\, and social power.” The letter is in reaction to a performance by Michael Turinsky\, My body\, your pleasure (2014) that George saw in Germany. \nDon’t miss this foray into 80s punk\, desire\, disability\, fake blood\, and beats. \nAbout the participants: \nDoran George PhD is a cultural historian writing on sexual culture\, avant-garde dance\, and performance. They are also a performance artist and choreographer who deconstructs socio-political identity categories\, stages work that builds micro-communities\, and cultivates radical practices of intimacy. George’s artwork and scholarship is represented in art books\, Oxford University Press anthologies\, and journals. George currently lectures in Disability Studies and LGBTQ Studies at University of California\, Los Angeles\, and teaches erotic work in both art and sex-positive contexts. \nJohanna Went is an American performance artist who primarily works in the Los Angeles area. She started her career in the late 1970s as musician in the punk scene. Music is still an important element of her shows. She has often worked with musician Mark Wheaton\, whose fast\, rhythmic music beats provide the background noise in several of her performances. Further predominant elements of Went’s shows are the use of elaborate costumes\, which Went herself creates from various found objects\, and the use of artificial blood. The latter played an especially important role in her early work. Went’s performances are not strictly text-based. She typically works based on a sketch that determines the rough sequence of actions\, but leaves much room for improvisation. Went rarely uses language in her shows as means of communication. She rather sings\, screams\, whines and murmurs\, thus rendering large parts of the spoken words incomprehensible. (From wikipedia) \nChristine Wertheim’s books include three poetic suites\, the book of ME\, mUtter-bAbel\, and +|’me’S-pace; three edited literary anthologies\, Feminaissance\, The n/Oulipean Analects\, and Séance\, the last two with Matias Viegener; and Crochet Coral Reef\, with Margaret Wertheim\, about their decade-long art-science-feminist-community project. She has received grants from the Annenberg and Orphiflamme Foundations\, and teaches at the California Institute of the Arts. \nMark Wheaton has been composing music since he began collaborating with performance artist Johanna Went in the early 1980’s. In addition to composing for performance art projects\, Mark spends most of his time as the recording engineer for the studio Catasonic located in Echo Park\, California. \nPresented by X-TRA \nimage: Johanna Went performing at the Hong Kong Café\, Los Angeles\, 1979.

SUMMARY:Encounter #37
DESCRIPTION:Since July 2012\, a group of Los Angeles performance artists (and international guests passing through town) have met regularly to engage in a practice called Encounter\, organized by Peruvian American performance artist Mariel Carranza. Encounter is a space where we encounter each other\, ourselves\, and the space itself. We perform with and for one another within given conditions. There is no preparation\, no agenda (and generally\, no “audience”). Things unfold on their own. We agree that there will be no idle observers; everyone is active in the space. \nEncounter has been invited to perform in REDCAT’s International Festival of Live Art and Performance as part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA in January 2018. 6 Latin American and European artists will fly to Los Angeles\, joining 13 local artists in 8 hours of unscripted collaborative performance. For this reason\, Encounter is doing this show as a fundraiser. The film Same Difference: Equinox to Equinox\, a global performance convened by Bbeyond will be screened. \nThe public performance will be followed by a shared dinner (beginning at roughly 8pm).  \n$20 suggested or pay-what-you-can at the door\, or at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3046662. \nParticipating artists:\nMariel Carranza\nPaul Outlaw\nSebastian Hernandez\nAllison Wyper\nRebeca Hernandez\nCarol McDowell\nDouglas Green\nDoran George\nRochelle Fabb\nRossen Ventzislavov\nDorian Wood\nJohn Burtle\nSamuel White \n image: Carol McDowell\, Rossen Ventzislavov and Dorian Wood\nPhoto by Tyler Matthew Oyer

SUMMARY:Tino Sehgal (Untitled)(2000) - danced by Frank Willens
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 10th 2017\, 8:00pm \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. NO RSVP needed. \nConcept: Tino Sehgal\nDanced by: Frank Willens \nThis presentation contains nudity\, Viewer discretion advised \nHow can a society learn from choreographers? (Untitled) (2000) depicts an image of a world where dance and choreography can inspire a society. Originally conceived for stage and danced by Tino Sehgal himself\, the solo remains in the cultural memory as a “museum of dance.” The space of this museum does not contain objects\, but movements and gestures of iconic dance styles.  \nWith the mere presence of his body (unaccompanied by music\, and without a set)\, Frank Willens allows new spaces to emerge for new readings and interpretations. What is the task of theater or museum in a society? Has the obsession for objects\, for material values reached its end? \nThe art of Tino Sehgal is immaterial; it takes shape in the moment in which the spectator encounters it. Since 2000\, he has been constructing live situations in which performers enter into contact with the visitors and spectators by way of movements\, conversations\, or song\, inviting them to influence the structure of the work. \nTino Sehgal Born in London in 1976\, Tino Sehgal studied economics and dance. In 2005\, he represented Germany at the Venice Biennale. The Guggenheim\, Tate Modern\, and dOCUMENTA (13) have also presented solo shows of his work. In 2013\, he was awarded the Golden Lion at the 55th Venice Biennale. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler. He grew up in California and has lived and worked in Berlin since 2003 where he has had the privilege to work with a wide number of persons in a wide range of projects presented in a wide range of venues. His associates include Tino Sehgal\, Meg Stuart\, Falk Richter\, and Peter Stamer\, to name a few. Frank developed a project in collaboration with the Transform Festival in Leeds in 2015 and headed a residency/lab at the Kunstmuseum in Bonn in 2016. His new solo piece 60 minutes towards being here or what we can do until we do what we can do premiered in Berlin in January 2017. \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States. \nInfo: +1 323 5253388 or Info@losangeles.goethe.org

SUMMARY:On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense - Frank Willens and Peter Stamer
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 11\, 2017 @ 8:00 PM\nSaturday\, August 12\, 2017 @ 5:30 PM \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis.\nNO RSVP needed. \nConceived\, directed\, set and staged by Peter Stamer\nPerformed by Frank Willens\nText by Friedrich Nietzsche\nAbridged and re-translated from German into English by Peter Stamer & Frank Willens \nPosthumous fragments: In some remote corner of the universe that is poured out in countless flickering solar systems\, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge. That was the most arrogant and the most untruthful minute in ‘world history’ – yet indeed only a minute. After nature had taken a few breaths\, the star froze over and the clever animals had to die.\n(Friedrich Nietzsche\, 1873) \nIn the light of infinity\, the limited time a human being spends on this planet does appear tobe deplorable\, even ridiculous. Knowing about the futility of his existence\, man tries to comprehend life by means of language which locks him into the cage of concepts though. Language\, following Nietzsche\, denies access to the actual life of matter. Searching for knowledge about the world\, about truth\, about himself\, man gets lost in the woodwork of his own thinking. To put it casually: man becomes a blockhead\, unable to see what is there. Taking away the foundation of the boards that mean the world to him: this is what it means to live. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler. He grew up in California and has lived and worked in Berlin since 2003 where he has had the privilege to work with a wide number of persons in a wide range of projects presented in a wide range of venues. His associates include Tino Sehgal\, Meg Stuart\, Falk Richter\, and Peter Stamer\, to name a few. Frank developed a project in collaboration with the Transform Festival in Leeds in 2015 and headed a residency/lab at the Kunstmuseum in Bonn in 2016. His new solo piece sixty minutes towards being here or what we can do until we do what we can do premiered in Berlin in January 2017 On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense is his 5th collaboration with Peter Stamer. \nPeter Stamer (DE/A) is a theatre maker in the context of contemporary performing arts. In his projects\, he is interested in exploring conditions for discursive and physical empowerment within given performative\, social and narrative apparatuses. Currently\, Peter is working on a theatrical and installative adaptation of Kafka’s story In the Penal Colony (to premiere in 2017). \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States.

SUMMARY:60 Minutes towards being here - Frank Willens
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, August 15\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM\nWednesday\, August 16\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. NO RSVP needed. \nCreated and performed by Frank Willens.\nGuest musician: Klaus Janek \n… or this is probably going to be a downer\, or in lieu of addressing insurmountable graver circumstances\, or best to keep on believing\, or giddy-up\, cowboy\, or too old to be new\, or some more rituals from the discarded catalogue…the title can change\, but nothing is to be taken for granted…that’s another possibility\, nothing is to be taken for granted. \n60 Minutes towards being here is an encounter with the moment. It is a negotiation between fixed material and an ever-evolving situation whose conditions can’t be ignored\, a composition between a performer and a musician. Frank Willens sets the alarm for one hour and investigates the vast multiplicity of the given condition. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler.

SUMMARY:Dirty Vestiges - Simone Aughterlony & Michael Günzburger
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 17\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM\nFriday\, August 18\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. NO RSVP needed. \nConcept and Performance: Simone Aughterlony & Michael Günzburger \nThis performance contains nudity\, Viewer discretion advised \nIn this dirty art-making practice Simone and Michael invite a collection of commonly understood domestic forms of dirt to confederate and co-perform on a high gloss reflective surface. With dust\, hair\, fat\, blood\, ash\, pigment and skin a temporary printing station is activated that pays close attention to qualities of materials\, their desires and orientations towards bodies and their transformation through intimacy and movement. With a knowing wink but certain irreverence towards art-historical references they stage a close-up inquiry into both the happenstance and determinism of dirt transmission. Attraction and repulsion are mutual forces that go beyond the surface and play out in this sleazy cleaning/mess making fantasy. In an intensely concentrated environment and companioned by a queer alchemy of materials\, Michael and Simone practice touch and the narratives produced by the surplus of touching. Vestige research accentuates the potentiality and futurity of indelible traces and acts as a response to the so-called ephemerality of performance. \nCreated within the project DRECK: EIN APPARAT at Ufer Studios Berlin\, a project initiated and produced by Stephanie Wenner that examined dirt and the communion of all things through a new materialist perspective. \nSimone Aughterlony is an independent artist based and supported in Zurich and Berlin\, working predominantly in dance and performance contexts. Over more than decade\, Simone she has been devising and producing choreographic works. As a performer she has worked with artists such as Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods\, Forced Entertainment and Jorge León\, Phil Hayes amongst others. In 2015 «Supernatural»\, a collaboration with artists Antonija Livingstone and Hahn Rowe premiered in American Realness while in the same year the performance project «Uni * Form»\, devised by Jorge León and Simone premiered at Zuercher Theater Spektakel. Alongside an extensive tour of these works and the «Biofiction Trilogy»\, she is currently touring with Jen Rosenblit «Everything Fits In The Room»\, a commission from HAU Hebbel am Ufer and Haus der Kulturen der Welt.  \nEngaging with alternative forms of kinship inside her process\, new constellations of family emerge as possibilities for reconfiguring a culture of togetherness that fosters both familiar and unknown quantities. Her works playfully compose with representation and its saturation\, seeping into and embracing the phenomenology of mis-recognition and the absurd. Simone approaches the performance genre as a world-building practice where she navigates the contradiction between the domination of desire alongside the agency of all elements. \nMichael Günzburger is a visual artist living in Zürich\, working with methods of drawing and printing and research on the reference to the materials of used production. Collaborations with other fields of the arts\, sciences and crafts like performer Ntando Cele\, writers Lukas Bärfuss and Raphael Urweider\, Masterprinter Thomi Wolfensberger\, hunters\, gatherers\, virologists\, genetic scientist\, etc. has always been an important part of his work. His works have been shown in galleries\, museums\, public spaces and project spaces across the world such as the Zürcher Kunsthaus\, Kunstmuseum Bern\, Galleries in Mexico D.F.\, Sao Paulo\, New York\, Paris\, Bern and Zürich in solo and group shows. They found their way into many private and public collection\, and he has received a numerous fellowships and grants. He is a research fellow at the Institute for Contemporary Art and Research (IFCAR) at the University of the Arts in Zürich (ZHdK). \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States
