SUMMARY:Varese Group screening / Marcia Bassett - Social Entropy
DESCRIPTION:Left:  Varese Group\, film still\, Ten Minutes in Binio\, 2019  /  Right: Marcia Bassett\, photo credit – Jennifer Braun\nCANCELLED: Screening on Saturday March 14  \nIn place of the one-time screening by Varese Group\, Ten Minutes in Binio will be screened throughout the gallery hours (11am-5pm) followed by a video and a quadraphonic sound installation by Marcia Bassett\, and Skype sessions conducted by Alison O Daniel. \nVarese Group‘s Ten Minutes in Binio is a series ten 1-minute videos taken by members of the group when they met last year in Northern Italy. This is the third iteration of a project organized by Sasha Portis. Each year all are invited to contribute a video that will be screened on the last day of Varese Group\, with the following parameters: one minute in length\, a single shot\, static (no moving or zooming)\, and no editing. The clips capture day-to-day experiences as members respond to their temporary environment.\nwww.varese.group \nMarcia Bassett‘s Social Entropy Extended – has been converted from a live performance to a quadraphonic sound installation. Transformed voice and collaged sounds taken from environmental\, natural and electronic sources will be manipulated and extended in a series of sound events. Bassett invited six women to contribute voice responses to the theme of Social Entropy. These voices along with a collection of sounds that capture day-to-day moments and personal experiences submitted by the other Social Residency participants and Bassett were worked into the quadrophonic piece that is presented here as an installation. The live performance will extend that process to a durational length that is meant to be observed and experienced as a social gathering where one may choose freely to converse\, observe and move within the performance space as slowly evolving waveform transformations and isolated sound capsules reveal themselves. The live event will embrace social interaction\, ritual gestures and serendipitous configurations that take place through extended time intervals. Bassett is very grateful for the response from the six women who contributed voice to this project: Bridget Hayden\, Áine O’Dwyer\, Crystal Penalosa\, Ursula Scherrer\, Jenny Graf Sheppard\, and Eva Sidén.\nhttp://www.marciabassett.org/

SUMMARY:Kathleen Kim - Social Slur (remote participation)
DESCRIPTION:Sunday March 15\, 2020\nAs part of the Social Residency exhibition\, untune is proud to welcome an event organized and presented by Kathleen Kim: a public forum is re-cast here as a small workshop conducted via zoom. \n4-6pm Group Dialogue and Open Jam (email info at humanresourcesla dot com to join us via Zoom)\n8-10pm Live Improv Performance with Wynne Bennett\, Guillermo Brown\, Kelly Coats\, Orlando Greenhill and Kathleen Kim \n\n4-6pm Group Dialogue and Open Jam\n \nKathleen Kim adds Social Slur to Untune’s Social Residency. The term arose in conversation with Helga Fassonaki\, the creator of Social Residency. At the time\, Kathleen considered the term a playful albeit literal alliteration. The ambiguous connotation of slur also seemed broad enough to include the group dialogue on social justice themes blurred with music improvisation\, that Kathleen contemplated. Later conversations with Helga invoked the multiple meanings of “slur\,” from music symbol\, inebriated speech\, to racial epithet. A new friend\, Jennifer Whitson\, social psychologist and professor at UCLA\, studies power and control in social regulation and the use and recasting of slurs within marginalized groups. We hope she and you join the conversation and explore remote connection with us. Bring your ideas and instruments! (A few instruments will be made available for use by attendees.) \nCancelled: 8-10pm Live Improv Performance\n \nSocial Slur ends with a capstone performance by Los Angeles music luminaries Wynne Bennett\, Guillermo Brown\, Kelly Coats\, Orlando Greenhill and Kathleen Kim in a first-time combo. \nWynne Bennett is a virtuoso on keys as well as music composer and producer for Twin Shadow\, Janelle Monae and many others. Legendary drummer Guillermo Brown has worked with Reggie Watts\, William Parker\, and David Ware\, to name a few\, and is also vocalist\, writer and producer for his project Pegasus Warning. \nOrlando Greenhill\, a master of contrabass and electric bass\, is a prolific artist whose discography is so wide ranging it is genre bending and too long to summarize. \nFlutist Kelly Coats incorporates voice and effects in her sublime solo music and with groups LA Fog\, SheKhan\, Doctor 9 and Mi Grupo Favorito. \nKathleen Kim is a violinist and experimental composer who plays and records solo and with groups LA Fog and SheKhan. Kelly and Kathleen are longtime collaborators whose music has been featured at the Whitney Biennial and the Venice Biennale among others.

SUMMARY:Khal Launch - Performances (cancelled/postponed)
DESCRIPTION:image credit: video still from Angel Chirside’s performance of score “Hypocrisy”\, videotaped by Paula Booker\, 2015\n\nThis event is postponed until further notice. \n7pm – Doors/Launch Preview (gallery will also be open from 11am – 5pm)\n8pm – Performances \nSwing State (Angel Chirnside and Helga Fassonaki) will perform Khal score Hypocrisy\nJessika Kenney will perform Khal score Outside In\nWhite Magic (Mira Billotte) with Kathleen Kim on violin will perform Khal score Hum Hum Hum Hum Hum\nPauline Lay and Ang Frances Wilson will perform Khal score Armour  \n \nSwing State’s brazen punk-jazz intention emerged in the lull of summer 2010\, somewhere between a pink beginning and a meditative ending. Over the past decade the notions have only accumulated. Angel Chirnside\, the original recipient of the Khal score “Hypocrisy”\, presented Swing State with an opportunity to reinterpret the score and rehearse live as duo for the first time. \nJessika Kenney is an award-winning vocalist\, composer\, sound artist\, and teacher\, working for the last 25 years in realms of the subtle melody\, with attention to the physicality of sound\, translation processes\, and perceptions of context. Kenney’s music can be heard on Ideologic Organ\, Black Truffle\, Weyrd Son\, SIGE\, and bandcamp. She has performed her own compositions and those of many colleagues\, as well as music of Annea Lockwood\, Hossein Omoumi\, Morton Feldman\, Simone Forti\, Giacinto Scelsi\,  Jarrad Powell\, Trimpin\, Nartosabhdo\, and many others\, informed by the atmospheres and techniques absorbed through the practice of Javanese sindhenan and Persian radifs. Kenney’s ongoing collaborations with Eyvind Kang have been described as “serious\, refined music” by the New York Times. Her involvements in noise\, metal\, electronic music and minimalism include work with Lori Goldston\, Wolves in the Throne Room\, ASVA\, Alvin Lucier\, and on the Sun City Girls last record. Her 2015 gamelan-based LP “ATRIA” was released by the avant-metal SIGE label\, alongside a large-scale\, site-specific and interactive sound\, calligraphic score\, sculpture\, and video installation filling five rooms at the Frye Art Museum in Seattle. Kenney taught from 2007-2015 at her alma mater Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle. She studied sindhenan with Hajjah Nyi Supadmi in Central Java from 1997-2000\, Tembang Sunda with Hajjah Ibu Euis Komariah in 2009\, and since 2004 studies radifs with Ostad Hossein Omoumi (UC Irvine) \, with whom she recorded ‘Voices of Spring’ 2007. Kenney received the James Ray Distinguished Artist Award in 2014\, as well as the Stranger Genius Award in 2013 and the Korean American Coalition of Washington Artistic Achievement Award with Eyvind Kang in 2014\, and the Lionel Hampton Festival Best Jazz Vocalist Award in 1992. Kenney is a VoiceArts adjunct faculty member at California Institute of the Arts since 2017. \nWhite Magic is artist\, vocalist\, and composer Mira Billotte\, performing with accompaniment or solo\, the sound ranges from psychedelia to meditative\, drifting from traditional to experimental folk\, a soulful\, mystic music.  Billotte’s composition for Hum\, Hum\, Hum\, Hum\, Hum involves a meditative improv to open the textural landscape of cycling sound \nPauline Lay is an instrumentalist\, composer\, and events organizer in Los Angeles. Apart from her solo improvised violin and electronics performances\, she currently performs and collaborates with other musicians in varying iterations and genres from duets to larger ensembles.\nAngela Frances Wilson is a Los Angeles born composer\, with a practice built at the intersection of healing art\, and improvisational music. Using modern digital and analog mediums\, they investigate modes of perception\, and the impact of hybrid space. \nUsing minimal and intentional affecting of violin\, amp\, feedback\, flute\, and synth\, Ang & Pauline investigate modes of perception and the impact of uncertain space. \n

SUMMARY:Khal Launch - Performance + Dinner (cancelled/postponed)
DESCRIPTION:This event is postponed until further notice. \n7pm – Doors (gallery will also be open from 11am – 5pm)\n7:30pm – 8 Pillars – A Free Score performed by Jessika Kenney and Helga Fassonaki\n8-10pm – Dinner \nThe two-day Khal publication launch will conclude on March 20th with a special performance of 8 Pillars – A Free Score and a celebratory feast marking the beginning of spring and the Persian holiday of Nowruz. \n\n\n\n\n \nWorking with the idea of a score as a living force containing the power to shape and reshape what enters our senses\, Helga Fassonaki reinterpreted one of her scores 8 Pillars (originally created for New Zealand artist Rachel Shearer) into a performance composition for seven women. It was filmed on Independence Day 2015 in a forested area in Oldwick\, New Jersey. The women (each representing a pillar) move in a slow and deliberate motion mirroring their meditative wordless humming of the “Star Spangled Banner” as they form a circular shape around the forest trees. The cameraperson is also one of the pillars whose motion and view is revealed through another camera frame that remains still\, documenting the process of a composition being created but never finished. The group voices fade as one voice (the missing eighth pillar) continues chanting the anthem until the song becomes unrecognizable. \nPresented as a kind of paradox\, the 8 Pillars film composition explores two sides of freedom: personal vs. political\, whilst stripping content from song until the sacredness of a singular voice is revealed. A solo voice whether banned by political law or censored by our own fears is a vessel for a powerful recalcitrant freedom\, one that is always vulnerable to attack no matter how “free” a country is. \nThe film will be screened during the launch and features Yasi Alipour\, Julia Santoli\, Gabie Strong\, Nazanin Daneshvar\, Laura Sofia\, Suki Dewey\, Helga Fassonaki\, and Julia Santoli \n \nJulia Santoli and Helga Fassonaki performed the second iteration of the 8 Pillars – A Free Score at Disjecta in Portland\, Oregon in September of 2015.  Santoli humed the “Star Spangled Banner”\, anthem until it became further unrecognizable as the notes were abstracted into solid tones of color while a spool of connected red\, white\, and blue fabric was transferred from Santoli’s body onto Fassonaki’s. \n7:30pm \nJessika Kenney will join Helga Fassonaki for a third iteration of 8 Pillars – A Free Score at Human Resources. \n8 – 10pm \nDinner will be served buffet style and include traditional Persian foods with vegetarian\, vegan\, and meat options.  Refreshments and desert are included with the dinner.
