SUMMARY:HRLA Symposium I: Think Local
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a day-long symposium featuring emerging critical voices in our community. This event features responses to work encountered at HRLA\, in spaces like HRLA or in museums in the region. We hope to give attendees a sense of the impact of local performances\, exhibitions and events on discourse about contemporary art; our aim is to create an engaging day of conversation about the practice of art criticism and art writing — one that is inclusive of artists\, students\, critics and scholars. \nWe welcome people coming and going during the day\, but do consider making time to be present for the whole event — our goal is to create a vibe in which the audience contributes as much to the day as the speakers. We have programmed lots of time for discussion — and hope that each session informs what follows it. \nWe are going to do more of these. Our second event will feature hybrid and experimental forms of criticism. Our third event will center writing about organizational dynamics and institutional politics (a topic that will appear in our first session). Please keep your eyes open for our calls for proposals. We want these events to feature people at different points in their work — we welcome proposals from students\, from independent writers\, journalists\, aspiring curators\, artists who want to write more than they do now\, wizened writers who want to support all of the above. \n10:00am: Coffee\, Welcome\, Introductions \n10:30-noon: A Sense of Place (90 minutes) \nNestor Guerrero\, Cesar Ruiz\, Robby Herbst \nThree presentations exploring the practice of signaling\, making and holding space. Topics include Latinx DJ collectives\, intentional music and experimental performance scenes. \n3 15-minute presentations\, followed by 45 minutes discussion \n12:10-1:30 Seminar I (80 minutes\, BYO lunch) \nJekara Govan and Rosalia Lerner are both writing articles about performances that have been staged at HRLA. If you would like to read this work in advance\, please fill out this form and we’ll send you a PDF. \nEveryone is welcome to attend. Those of us who have read these works in advance will lead discussion\, give feedback and advice. This format may be particularly productive for people who are in or are thinking about going to graduate school: both writers are PhD students\, and are sharing work that will be a part of their academic portfolio. That said\, the day’s entire program is geared less towards academics than towards the greater arts community. Meaning\, the conversation should be accessible to artists — and if the writing isn’t\, this is something we’ll talk about! \n1:45-3:15pm: Material Conditions (90 minutes) \nAna Iwataki\, Andy Campbell\, Georgia Lassner \n3 15-minute presentations\, followed by 30-40 minutes of discussion \nThese three writers are writing the material conditions of art-making and the material conditions of artists’ lives. \n3:30-5:00pm: Performance Tactics (75 minutes) \nJoshua Guzmán\, Evan Duncan \n2 20-minute presentations\, followed by 30-40 minutes of discussion \nWe will conclude the day with two slightly longer presentations — here\, we will be opening up our optic as both speakers explore tactics in works they’ve encountered in Los Angeles – our last speaker is working on Adrian Piper; their work was inspired by the Piper exhibition at the Hammer Museum. \nThis program may be adjusted.

SUMMARY:Bitch Slap
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, October 6th  7pm \n$10 suggested donation \nBitch Slap! is an evening of performance and video art at Human Resources LA\, by female identified and non-binary artists who confront contrived notions of femininity. In a time where didactic art seems like the only pathway to social justice\, these powerful works incorporate humor to playfully explore the embodiment of being a ‘Baddass Bitch. The evening is curated by Liz Miller-Kovacs and hosted by Rochelle Fabb. \nWorks by: \nNao Bustamante \nRochelle Fabb \nJohnny Forever Narwacaj \nDulce Soledad Ibarra \nXandra Ibarra \nSarah Johnson \nLiz Miller-Kovacs (with Pony Lee Musgrave and Julia Cornell) \nMicaela Tobin (White Boy Scream) \nSpecial Guests\nNAO BUSTAMANTE is an internationally known artist\, originally from California; she now resides in Los Angeles. Bustamante’s precarious work encompasses performance art\, video installation\, visual art\, filmmaking\, and writing. The New York Times says\, “She has a knack for using her body.” Bustamante has presented in Galleries\, Museums\, Universities and underground sites all around the world. She has exhibited\, among other locales\, at the Institute of Contemporary Arts in London\, the New York Museum of Modern Art\, The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, Sundance International Film Festival\, Outfest International Film Festival\, El Museo del Barrio Museum of Contemporary Art\, First International Performance Biennial\, Deformes in Santiago\, Chile and the Kiasma Museum of Helsinki. Bustamante is alum of the San Francisco Art Institute\, New Genres program and the Skowhegen School of Painting and Sculpture. Currently she holds the position of Associate Professor and Vice Dean of Art at the USC Roski School of Art and Design. \nROCHELLE FABB creates original group and solo performances and intimate\, site-specific works incorporating installation and performance. Her works explore lust\, rage\, passion and power with pathos\, humor and nod to pop culture. She co-founded the performance ensemble\, Empire of Teeth and is a member of Mariel Carranza’s Encounter group. She has performed at LACMA\, Highways\, Lincoln Center\, Knitting Factory\, the New Genres Festival (Tulsa)\, Mobius (Boston)\, RAW Tempel (Berlin)\, Theatre Nogent (Marnay sur Seine\, France)\, Ex-Teresa Int’l Festival (Mexico City)\, and in galleries\, houses and public spaces. She was a touring member of the Rachel Rosenthal Company and Asher Hartman’s Gawdafful National Theater. \nJOHHNY FOREVER NAWRACAJ is a nonbinary Polish-born performance and video artist currently based between Montreal and Los Angeles. Their work weaves surrealist narrative through the manipulation of mundane objects in fantastical space\, both physical and virtual. Forever insists on the disruption of categories\, building visual allegories for liminal and ever-shifting identities. They also seek to explore love\, loss\, and longing with a particular investment in these themes as a part of radical queer and trans cultural production. \nDULCE SOLEDAD IBARRA is a multi-disciplinary artist\, curator\, designer and non-profit arts advocate based in Los Angeles with special interests in community and identity-emphasized arts and opportunity. As a practicing artist\, Ibarra discusses issues of generational guilt\, intersecting communities\, language\, and cultural identities in videos\, installations\, performances\, and participatory work. Looking through queer Brown/Latinx/Xicanx perspective\, the work is fueled by emotional labor\, persynal research and analyzation. \nXANDRA IBARRA is an Oakland-based performance artist from the US/Mexico border who sometimes works under the alias of La Chica Boom. Ibarra uses hyperbolized modes of racialization and sexualization to test the boundaries between her own body and coloniality\, compulsory whiteness\, and Mexicanidad. Ibarra’s work has been featured at El Museo de Arte Contemporañeo (Bogotá\, Colombia)\, Broad Museum (LA\, USA)\, Popa Gallery (Buenos Aires\, Argentina)\, Joe’s Pub (NYC)\, PPOW Gallery (NYC)\, Anderson Collection (Stanford) and Yerba Buena Center for the Arts (SF) to name a few. She has been awarded the Art Matters Grant\, NALAC Fund for the Arts\, ReGen Artist Fund\, and the Franklin Furnace Performance and Variable Media Award. Her work has been featured in Artforum\, Hyperallergic\, Huffington Post\, ArtNews and in various academic journals nationally and internationally. As a community organizer\, Ibarra’s work is located within feminist immigrant\, anti-rape and prison abolitionist movements. Since 2003\, she has actively participated in organizing with INCITE!\, a national feminist of color organization dedicated to creating interventions at the intersection of state and interpersonal violence. She currently lectures within the Critical Studies program at California College of the Arts. \nSARAH JOHNSON is an Los Angeles based artist working in performance\, video\, potography\, and writing. Johnson has performed internationally in galleries\, theaters\, cathedrals\, freeway underpasses\, backyards\, and otherwise. An alum of NYU in Performance Studies\, her work has been featured at Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity (Canada)\, the TBA Festival (PDX OR)\, and Sub Rosa Projects (Greece). \nLIZ MILLER-KOVACS is a contemporary artist working in Los Angeles. Encompassing video\, performance\, photography and installation\, Miller-Kovacs’ work is eclectic both formally and in content. Her studio practice explores the relationship between commodity\, globalized society and the human condition. The conundrum of living in a time where our environment is becoming increasingly uninhabitable while society at large seems preoccupied with assimilating to meditated images has become a focal point in her work. Miller-Kovacs additionally examines the hypocrisy within her critique of the media and her own participation in the indulgent superficiality of commercial culture. Miller-Kovacs has exhibited her works and performed in major art centers and galleries around the North America\, Europe\, Asia and Australia. She is an Alumni of the San Francisco Art Institute where she completed her MFA in New Genres. More recently she completed a Visual Arts PhD at Sydney College of the Arts in Australia\, where she was awarded both the IPRS and IPA international scholarships for the duration of her research. \nMICAELA TOBIN is a soprano\, sound artist\, and teacher based in Los Angeles\, CA who specializes in contemporary opera and experimental voice\, composing under the moniker “White Boy Scream.” Within this project Micaela dissects her operatic singing style and extended vocal techniques through the use of electronics\, in an attempt to undermine patriarchal constructs of her classical training and reclaim the “diva.” She has performed extensively throughout the western United States\, most notably as a guest with hip-hop experimentalists clipping. during their 2017 tour in support of The Flaming Lips. Micaela’s most recent full length release\, “Remains” (Crystalline Morphologies) was listed as one of the top 10 Noise/Industrial Albums of 2018 by The Wire Magazine. \nCuration:\nLiz Miller-Kovacs \nProduction:\nMarcus Kuiland-Nazario \nProduction Manager:\nAbdiel López \nSpecial Thanks:\nHuman Resources\, Vardui Sharakpanyan\, Abdiel López

SUMMARY:somesurprises / Jessika Kenney / Jesse Quebbeman Turley
DESCRIPTION:somesurprises (Seattle) / Jessika Kenney / Jesse Quebbeman Turley\nDoors 8pm\, Music 9pm\n$10-15 suggested donation\nAdvance tickets available here:\nhttps://withfriends.co/Event/2681113/somesurprises_Jessika_Kenney_Jesse_Quebbeman_Turley \nsomesurprises is the moniker of Seattle singer/songwriter Natasha El-Sergany. What once was a solo project focusing on spectral balladry and late night exploration\, somesurprises has since formed into a dynamic four-piece live band. Motorik beats\, reverb-drenched vocals\, washes of fingerpicked guitars\, and hazy synths expand El-Sergany’s delicate and blissful songwriting. \nStarting with a solo tape release of cell phone recordings on 2016’s Voice Memos\, El-Sergany then collaborated with guitarist Josh Medina (Debacle Records) for duo debut ambient album\, Serious Dreams\, released on Eiderdown Records in 2017. Serious Dreams was described by The Quietus as “a thoroughly cosmic outing. Everything is lush and smooth enough to describe as ambient music as much as folk\, almost seeming too dreamy to have ever been real.” The release also received kind reviews from Bandcamp\, The Stranger\, Seattle Weekly\, and Tiny Mixtapes. \nNext\, somesurprises took to recording as a full band with drummer Nico Sophiea (MX-80 Sound) and bassist Emma Danner (Red Ribbon)\, releasing Alt\, on LA’s Doom Trip Records in 2018. Aquarium Drunkard compared the three-song “krautpop” EP to an imaginary collaboration between Grouper and Spiritualized. In early 2019\, somesurprises put out a collaborative split tape with Seattle’s Supercandy (some candy\, released by Crash Symbols)\, with guest musicians Brenan Chambers\, Lori Goldston\, Monika Khot\, and Ambrosia Bardos weaving layers of soaring guitar effects\, cello\, vocals\, and trumpet into the mix. \nOver the years\, somesurprises has built a strong presence in the Seattle music scene\, and toured the west coast. In Seattle\, they have opened for touring artists such as Circuit Des Yeux\, Carla dal Forno\, A Place to Bury Strangers\, and the Cave Singers. This year finds somesurprises set to release their self-titled\, full-length LP on Drawing Room Records\, an exciting milestone for this aptly named\, shapeshifting project. \nsomesurprises.bandcamp.com \nJessika Kenney is a vocalist\, composer\, and teacher whose work extends the vocal traditions of Indonesian sindhenan and Persian radif into new realms by way of contemporary composition and improvisation. Internationally regarded for the elegiac timbral quality of her voice\, her practice of sphygmoresonance\, or resonance of pulse\, entails ritualistic focus and reverence for inner architecture that emanates a palpable sense of stillness. Kenney’s interest in the full spectrum experience of sound has led to collaboration with a wide range of experimentalists\, while her partnership with composer/violist Eyvind Kang has yielded five spellbinding albums of minimal\, delicate beauty. A student of radif with Ostad Hossein Omoumi\, Kenney’s music is timeless\, yet steeped in textual research\, respectful of its spiritual roots while invoking unknown futures.

SUMMARY:Protesting Seoul: Resistance in Precarious Times
DESCRIPTION:  \nSpace is limited\, RSVP recommended  \nSeoul is a city of protest. On any given day\, one might see striking workers\, displaced residents\, evicted shopkeepers\, bereaved parents\, feminist\, queer and trans activists\, religious leaders\, politicians\, NGO activists and many others protesting defiantly on the streets. For those living in Korea and in the diaspora who follow political events from afar\, protest is a reliable weapon of the weak and a familiar form of civic participation. Protest images rarely make the English-speaking international press\, though\, except when protests mobilize millions\, like during the 2016-17 Candlelight Protests when millions gathered over 20 consecutive Saturdays in the historic centers of Seoul to demand the impeachment of former President Park Geun-Hye. This immersive lecture draws from long-term field research to go beyond the spectacle and presents some of the most remarkable stories\, sights\, sounds\, forms\, feelings\, and infrastructures of protest-making from below. The flourishing cultures of protest call into question the ongoing relations of power and inequality in Korea and highlight the urgency of resistance in precarious times. \n  \n  \n \nJennifer Jihye Chun is a labor sociologist and associate professor in Asian American Studies at the University of California Los Angeles. Her research explores the interconnected worlds of race\, class\, gender\, and migration through a comparative and critical ethnographic lens. She is the author of the award-winning book Organizing at the Margins: The Symbolic Politics of Labor in South Korea and the United States (Cornell University Press\, 2009) as well as numerous journal articles and book chapters on Asian immigrant women and community organizing; precarious work and labor unions; and gender\, migration\, and care work. Currently\, she is writing a book monograph on protest cultures in South Korea with Ju Hui Judy Han. \n \nJu Hui Judy Han is a cultural geographer and assistant professor in Gender Studies at the University of California\, Los Angeles. Her comics and writings about (im)mobilities\, faith-based movements\, and queer politics have been published in journals including Critical Asian Studies\, positions: asia critique\, and Journal of Korean Studies as well as in several edited books including Q&A: Queer in Asian America (1998)\, Territories of Poverty: Rethinking North and South (2015) and Ethnographies of U.S. Empire (2018). She is currently working on a book manuscript on queer temporalities and the political order in Korea and co-writing another on protest cultures with Jennifer Chun. \n\n
