SUMMARY:Terry Riley's In C performed by David Harrow
DESCRIPTION:1964: The year that Terry Riley first performed In C\, the piece that laid the foundations for the entire minimalist movement\, is also the year of my birth. \nTurning full cycle to the present\, a time when contemporary synthesis has brought the principle of variation through repetition to our fingertips\, reaching for the sublime through sonic immersion is needed more now than ever. The compositional quality of In C shines through the use of the new media\, in fact the way the 53 phrases of the piece work with modern electronic is captivating. By programming them into contemporary sequencing methods new avenues for improvisation are revealed\, manipulating the very substance of the sounds themselves. \n“One of the joys of In C is the interaction of the instruments  in polyrhythmic combinations that spontaneously arise between patterns. Some quite fantastic shapes will arise and disintegrate as these groups move through the piece ” – Terry Riley \nAfter a rediscovering Terry Riley’s importance in repetitive patterned sound whilst researching the entire genre of Minimalism for a class I was teaching in Los Angeles\, it became clear to me this piece should be reinvented\, shifted from it’s temporal birthplace to reveal it still firmly at home\, flourishing  in todays Californian experimental music scene. \nPlease join me in a celebration of this icon in our part of the pacific rim. \nABOUT DAVID HARROW  \n\n\n\nDavid Harrow could easily play on musical heritage if he wanted\, but that’s not his style. The man has played with enough true legends of overground and underground music for several lifetimes\, and could dine out for years on the hair- raising stories of far out and extreme musical scenes he’s been involved with. But what links all his musical adventures so far is a constant quest for new and stimulating sounds\, and that applies as strongly now as when he first launched into the post-punk climate in the 80ʼs So through synth-soaked new wave and Neue Deutsche Welle\, through playing with disco legends like Razormaid on the San Francisco scene\, through going deep into dub and experimental electronics as part of the On-U Sound production and live team\, through the dirty rave haunts of London with Andrew Weatherall\, through huge international tours as Technova\, through a huge pop smash with Billie Ray Martin\, through his live drumʼnʼbass extravaganzas as James Hardway\, through the trance world\, on through the Californian bass and weird-beat scenes as OICHO\, to the esoteric ambient soundscapes and percussion soundtracks he releases today\, Harrow is always\, as a wise man once said “on to the next one”. And that hunger for the next sound\, the next new idea\, is what keeps his music as dazzlingly exciting as it has ever been. \n$5 suggested donation

SUMMARY:James Hoff ❖ Free The Land ❖ Lukas Marxt ❖ Phan & Karnsomport
DESCRIPTION:Audio-Visual Program // Live Performances + Cinema \n  \nJames Hoff  \nFree The Land  \nLukas Marxt \nEllen Phan & Nisa Karnsomport \n  \ncurated by Tim Leanse \n  \ndoors at eight – donate eight \nprogram begins promptly at 8:30 \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nJAMES HOFF (PAN – NYC) \nJames Hoff is a Brooklyn-based artist who tweaks systems across disciplines – from fine art object-making to multimedia actions. His discordant sound work issued on the PAN label has collaged riots and attacked the vernacular – famously introducing computer viruses to drum machine programs and leveraging the resultant degradations as compositional fodder. At this audio-visual summit\, Hoff will perform HOBO UFO – a live\, video-projected\, rapid-fire click and spin through Google Street View driven by his real-time audio – hyper-rhythmic and fractured. HOBO UFO’s debut at Unsound 2017 in Kraków\, Poland\, utilized streetview imagery of Pripyat – a city in Chernobyl’s Zone of Exclusion. For this realization at Human Resources\, however\, Hoff’s peripatetic virtual dérive will course through the host city of Los Angeles. HOBO UFO is slated for multimedia release on PAN. \nhttp://www.james-hoff.com \nFREE THE LAND (Ascetic House – LA) \nFree The Land is an evolving project of change agent Jesse Sanes. A media intervention of environmental impressions natural and domestic\, it manifests as electronic sound\, installation art\, and archive. Live actions fold field recordings\, found sound\, and computer speech into a compost of synthesis and free manipulation. For this Spring outing\, Sanes sonics with contributing member Nial Morgan to express cold and distant extremes as a video-projected ‘live browse’ through an FTL file-set riffs on the project’s recent collaborative communiqué\, ‘Arctic Compilation.’ \nhttp://freethe.land \nLUKAS MARXT (Köln\, Germany) \n‘Imperial Valley (Cultivated Run-off)’  Color\, 2018 \nAustrian filmmaker Lukas Marxt explores places isolated and remote\, considering how landscapes are altered by – and the degree to which they remain impervious to – human influence.  Here he will screen a recent short shot above Southern California’s Imperial Valley. Flying by drone\, we reconnoiter the region’s agricultural infrastructure\, finding a language in the colors\, shapes\, and structures of it’s incursion into the vast and extreme Sonoran Desert. Shifts of perspective and perception are eerily matched by the psychoacoustics of the film’s hypnotic soundtrack. ‘Imperial Valley (Cultivated Run-off)’ premiered at Berlinale 2018. Filmmaker in attendance. \nhttp://lukasmarxt.com \nELLEN PHAN & NISA KARNSOMPORT (Elixir Sounds – LA) \nDithered out over the country are those that know what flows when Ellen Phan’s face is lit by her laptop screen: cascades of concrète and jagged valleys of squelch\, with an intention set to nothing less than brainwave state change. On choice occasions Nisa Karnsomport plies her wares to filter Phan’s noise and signal into a high-velocity sound-reactive video: flashing monochromatic animations\, abstract and geometric. \nhttp://ellenphan.tumblr.com

SUMMARY:Sex Tape Records presents Something Wild
DESCRIPTION:SEX. An homage to the 70s Vivienne Westwood store of the same name and the Gun Club’s inimitable song\, Sex Beat. \nTAPE. Every project is recorded to analog tape. \nRECORDS. All releases are pressed on vinyl. \nSex Tape Records is the concept of Costume and Fashion Designer\, Stacy Ellen Rich. As one of the few woman run record labels\, Rich’s prime directive is to meld her visual and aural obsessions of 70s and early 80s of glam punk\, death rock and beyond by pushing them into the now with new bands and diverse voices. Rich has also put her design skills to work and will present a pop up shop stocked with not only records but a capsule collection of Sex Tape Records attire and accessories. Sex Tape Records presents Something Wild will be a night to toast the underground and give credance to the magic that is always found there. \n8pm til late

SUMMARY:Sonoptik + HR present:  Tom Hall | Anthony Baldino | Ellan Phan + Nisa Karnsomport | Sleep Clinic
DESCRIPTION:A night of synesthetic journey \nTom Hall \nAnthony Baldino \nEllan Phan + Nisa Karnsomport \nSleep Clinic \nDoors 8pm / $5 \nTom Hall is an Australian audio/visual artist\, residing in Los Angeles. \nHis practice involves micro exploration into place\, space and time. Inspired by peripheral space\, he focuses on using multiple approaches to engage and recontextualise them into live audio video works\, installations and recordings. Using sound as a means to translate and create hybrid environments and notions of journey. \nStylistically these outcomes vary\, including structured drone\, noise\, melody and installation; portrayed using synthesis\, programming and synesthetic delivery. Hall has released a number of recordings in the past decade on labels such as Elli\, Overlap\, Arlen\, and Presto!? along with extensive exhibitions and tours. \nPhan + Karnsomport \nEllen Phan is an artist working primarily in the field of computer music. Recent releases on Anomia and Banh Mi Verlag have been informed by her work as Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner. Therapy-specific methodologies are employed as source material\, modulated autonomously by para-sympathetic activity through a variety of processing and synthesis\, with an aim to gather insight into cognitive and emotional states on a subconscious level. Hers is a distinctly hallucinatory psychoacoustic sound world aimed directly\, with intent and focus\, at the subconscious mind. Phan is based in Los Angeles. \nNisa Karnsomport is a media artist based in Los Angeles. Her work focuses on overlapping experimental media practices with new technology. She currently works as an Software Developer and collaborates with other artists on interactive video installations \nBaldino \nBaldino is a composer and sound designer based in LA whose work spans an enormous range of production avenues. The likelihood that you haven’t heard his work is nearly impossible with music and sound design in too many trailer campaigns to list. With Prometheus\, Interstellar\, Ex-Machina\, Star Wars: Rogue One and Avengers: Infinity War just to name a few\, from there his work ventures to the opposite pole of production with custom sound design based compositions mixed in Atmos for Dolby Labs\, beautifully glitched out remixes and continues on to mind bending modular synthesizer performances. \nSleep Clinic \nReturns to Los Angeles from performing across Europe on stage with the infamous EBM outfit Front Line Assembly. This is bound to be a blistering set.

SUMMARY:Astor | Sean McCann\, Matthew Sullivan & Alex Twomey | Erika Bell
DESCRIPTION:Erika Bell\, Astor\, and a trio performance by Sean McCann\, Alex Twomey\, and Matthew Sullivan. \nErika Bell will be presenting a new\, four-channel work titled Saint-Girons\, which was inspired by a recent field recording she took in a workshop led by Christina Kubisch. The recording captures both the electromagnetic sounds (via Kubisch’s headphones) and the acoustic atmospheric sounds of Saint-Girons\, France in real-time. This field recording will be paired with\, and accompanied by\, a small ensemble. \nOriginally hailing from Australia\, Astor’s music can range from claustrophobic to cosmic while incorporating a wide range of techniques spanning the history of electronic music. Their most recent solo album\, 2018’s Lina in Nida on UK-based Penultimate Press\, featured a spoken word contribution from Estonian artist Kris Lemslau alongside a proposed anthem for Britain during a potential invasion by ISIS and more. This event will be a rare opportunity for fans of field recordings\, musique concrete\, dark ambient\, and fringe electro-acoustic music to experience this artist in a live setting. \nSean McCann\, Alex Twomey\, and Matthew Sullivan will perform as a trio\, bringing together three highly notable LA-based artists involved in sacred and propane music. Their debut live performance\, following the release of their cassette\, The Bird. \n“There is something about this music that reminds me of the great Walter Marchetti\, and I almost never say that. One of my favourite tapes from the last few years that doesn’t have me on it.” – Scott Foust (Idea Fire Company/Swill Radio) \nChristopher Reid Martin will provide music between sets. \nTickets for the event may be purchased for $9.99 in advance or for $12 at the door. \n  \nBios: \nAstor is an Australian publisher\, event curator\, and sound artist who is now residing in London\, United Kingdom. Under this guise\, they deploy a wide variety of techniques including field recording\, musique concrete\, electronics\, and spatialisation. All of these forms are approached with a sense of bypassing the clichés imbedded within in order to coerce a sound world which is simultaneously contemporary\, foreign\, beautiful\, unsettling and engaging. Astor has released 2 acclaimed LPs on Kye (USA) and has a third Lina in Nida on Penultimate Press (UK). \nErika Bell is a Los Angeles-based composer and instrumentalist. Her work comes from a place of intuition\, preference and the personal\, with an emphasis on exploring the timbre of sonic realms. Bell often derives from found text\, objects\, and sounds\, and juxtaposes strict notation with elements of openness in the use of time and material. With her work slowly and methodically unraveling she allows full immersion into the audible phenomenon of beating\, cyclical melodic/harmonic loops\, and washes of texture. Bell’s Sucking Stones (2017) for large-ensemble was performed at the Walt Disney Concert Hall in L.A. Phil’s 2017 Noon to Midnight concert. She has received commissions from the wulf.\, premiered her large-ensemble work < | > (2018) in Dog Star Orchestra’s fourteenth festival and will have a piece performed at the Göteborg Art Sounds festival in Sweden this September. Currently Bell is preparing two album-length audio releases of her music and an installation version of her large-ensemble work Moving Like Icebergs Against Each Other (2018). Erika holds a BFA in music composition from California Institute of the Arts where she studied with Michael Pisaro and Laura Steenberge. \nPresented by VOLUME and Last Visible Dog Records.

SUMMARY:Maggi Payne | Maria Chavez | Kaori Suzuki | Joseph Hammer
DESCRIPTION:VOLUME presents legendary composer\, video artist\, recording engineer\, and multi-instrumentalist Maggi Payne (Oakland). Joining the lineup are Maria Chávez (NYC)\, Kaori Suzuki (Oakland)\, and Los Angeles local Joseph Hammer for what will surely be a night of focused and sustained immersive listening. \nPayne will present several works from recent years\, including Heat Shield (2018)\, Black Ice(2014)\, and Quicksilver (2011). Black Ice and Heat Shield will both be presented in four-channel audio. Of the works\, Payne notes\, “At times multiple spaces coexist […] There is always a sense of place\, an atmosphere\, in these acoustic constructs. The sounds are choreographed in an expanded three-dimensional space beyond boundaries\, with no walls\, ceilings\, or floors to constrain them.” Payne’s work in electroacoustic and electronic media spans an historical era in California’s experimental composition. The three compositions she will perform tonight reflect both the technical and conceptual rigours and fascinations of our locale––explorations of land\, light\, and space; highly technical expressions of immersive experiences. \nKaori Suzuki returns to Los Angeles on the heels of her second solo record of the year out on Second Editions (Berlin)\, titled Conduit. This evening she will perform the record live as it was originally composed\, for full\, extended duration and high volume playback. The work is immersive\, physically charging\, and will magnetize listeners in a venue as reverberant as Human Resources. \nChávez’s work in improvised turntablism is also a special treat for listeners in a space as reverberant as Human Resources. Her approach examines the nature of the materials used––turntable\, needle\, vinyl\, time\, choice\, chance\, and accident. These interests in deterioration and generation are also reflected in her scholarly and visual work\, which has been widely celebrated and internationally supported. \nAbout the artists \nMaria Chávez\, born in Lima\, Peru\, and based in NYC\, is best known as an abstract turntablist\, conceptual sound artist and DJ. Her improvised solo turntable performance combines recorded sounds from vinyl records with the electroacoustic sounds of vinyl and needle in various deteriorating phases. Her conceptual sound installation practice tends to be site specific\, allowing each space to highlight its own sonic qualities. Her solo exhibitions are often interactive\, ranging from spatial sound presentations to turning an entire art space into a gigantic string instrument for the audience to perform. \nChávez has been a research fellow of the Sound Practice Research Department\, Goldsmith’s University\, a composer fellow with Civitella Ranieri in Umbertide\, Italy\, and an artist fellow at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation. Her instructional book of essays and illustrations\, OF TECHNIQUE: Chance Procedures on Turntable\, was published in 2012. She has participated in various artist residencies including the CEC Artslink/Back Apartment residency in St. Petersburg\, Kunstmeile Krems sound artist residency in Austria\, The Kitchen in New York and the Royal Academy of Music in Denmark. Her work has been exhibited internationally\, including at HeK – haus der elektronischen Künste-Basel\, INKONST Art Center\, Sweden\, The Judd Foundation\, Marfa\, Texas\, The Brooklyn Museum of Art\, The Getty Museum\, Black Mountain College Museum and Documenta14 in Kassel. More at www.mariachavez.org \nIn the field of found sound\, Joseph Hammer is the master of survey and delay; with looped tape and a gloved hand\, he taps a magnetic vein\, coaxing fragments of occluded origin into a sonic sui generis. Hammer is longstanding contributor to the undulating Los Angeles experimental music scene. PAN\, which released a record of Hammer’s in 2010\, describe the work as a “journey into playful yet heavily focused idiot-savant infinite psychedelic inertia […] utilising consumer audio technology and 20th century detritus.” He is a member of the trio Solid Eye\, a frequent collaborator and improviser\, and member of LAFMS. \nMaggi Payne is a composer primarily of electronic and electroacoustic music\, a flutist\, and a video and installation artist. She is a recording engineer/editor\, archivist\, and historical remastering engineer. She taught composition\, electronic music\, and recording engineering at Mills College from 1972-2018. \nHer electroacoustic works often incorporate visuals\, including dancers outfitted with electroluminescent wire and videos she creates using images ranging from nature to the abstract. Many works address issues around the environment\, especially noise pollution. She has composed music for dance\, theatre\, and video\, including the music for Jordon Belson’s video Bardo. She collaborated for several years with video artist Ed Tannenbaum in his Technological Feets performance. \nShe received Composer’s Grants and an Interdisciplinary Arts Grant from the National Endowment for the Arts; video grants from the Mellon Foundation and the Western States Regional Media Arts Fellowships Program; and was awarded six honorary mentions from Concours International de Musique et d’Art Sonore Electroacoustiques de Bourges and one from Prix Ars Electronica. Her works appear on Aguirre\, The Lab\, Lovely Music\, Innova\, Starkland\, Music and Arts\, New World Records (CRI)\, Root Strata\, Ubuibi\, Asphodel\, and/OAR\, Centaur\, MMC\, Digital Narcis\, Capstone\, Mills\, and Frog Peak labels. \nKaori Suzuki (b.1984) is a Japanese-born music maker currently based in Oakland\, CA. She has toured and presented her work in various venues across the U.S.\, Japan\, Mexico\, and Canada. Her compositions combine electronics\, bowed percussion and string instruments\, resonating objects\, computer\, and others. Her feedback/synthesizer recordings are found on Newsun (Sounds et al)\, and her recent release of a durational composition for very high frequencies\, Conduit\, is out on Second Editions (Berlin). \nIn addition to her solo music\, she plays drums in the Oakland-based minimalist psych-punk group Night Collectors\, and collaborates with partner\, John Krausbauer\, on voice\, amplified strings\, bells\, and immersive light/sound happenings. Her works have been presented at San Francisco Electronic Music Festival\, Debacle Fest\, Berkeley Art Museum\, CCRMA\, The Lab\, Mills College\, Elastic Arts\, and many others. \n  \nPlease note that as seating for this event is limited\, advance ticket purchase is recommended.

SUMMARY:Whale Song: A Workshop
DESCRIPTION:“The greatest amount of change appears when singing is most pervasive and the effort of each singer is most intense.”\n— Katy Payne \nSince they were first recorded by hydrophones in the late 1960s\, the haunting songs of humpback whales have been objects of human inquiry. These “long\, complexly organized patterns of sounds\,” which include\, “the highest and lowest frequencies that humans can hear\,” are shared between whales\, and sung seasonally\, with differences arising as the songs repeat over time. \nWe do not know precisely why the whales sing. But as Katy Payne\, an acoustic biologist and preeminent scholar of humpback whale song\, observed in 1985\, “we have not yet been able to discover any ‘leaders’…. [It is] as though decisions on how the song should change were made democratically.” \nCo-led by vocalist\, composer\, and cantor Daniela Gesundheit and media scholar Sarah Kessler\, this workshop will facilitate an environment within which a primary experience of the compositional techniques and structures at play in humpback whale song can emerge. Together\, we will employ leaderless collaboration and experimentation to examine and illuminate the vocalizations of the world’s largest broadcasting mammals\, and to see what we might discover about group identity\, distance\, competition\, innovation\, and empathy in the process. \nAfter a presentation and discussion of the key insights uncovered by Katy Payne’s groundbreaking research\, we will put our own voices to work\, apprenticing ourselves to the songs of these masterful composers. All voices welcome. \nWhile this event is free to attend\, space is limited: email for RSVP: info@humanresourcesla.com

SUMMARY:Perpetual Drone
DESCRIPTION:This night is an official benefit for Maps.org to help raise awareness and money for their efforts to help make psychedelic assisted therapy a legal treatment option in America\, this is something they have made great strides towards completing and has garnered lots of support worldwide. All the performers\, Artists and organizers are donating their time and talents. 100% of the proceeds from ticket sales go directly to Maps.org who will have some speakers at the events. \nThe Event will start 7pm Saturday November 17th and will end at noon on Sunday November 18th. \nHuman Resources can offer almost complete isolation from the outside world and it has lots of floor space to accommodate people lying down so it is the ideal venue in Los Angeles for this kind of event. \nThe Theme of the night takes inspiration from Max Richter’s Sleep concerts\, Tibetan sound meditation\, Dublab’s overnight Tonalism events\, Phil Niblock’s Experimental intermedia foundation\, and LaMonte Young’s Dreamhouse. \nWe are creating a comfortable setting that people can feel free and safe to stay as long as they want and bring any cushions\, pillows\, sleeping bags\, blankets\, etc to stay overnight so the overnight musical performances be the soundtrack to the audience’s sleeping and dreaming. \nThe musical sets from midnight onward will be beatless/ ambient/modular synth/drone and as chill as possible so that it is comfortable for people to sleep in and not have any startling awakenings. \nAttendees are free to come and go as they please but we would ideally like to create an atmosphere where people would like to spend the night and have an immersive/deep listening/durational/meditative experience. This is why we won’t be programming any overstimulating performances aka noise/beats/drums/loud singing/extreme volumes or excessive high frequencies. \nAmbient/Soundbath/Drone/Modular/Quadraphonic/Deep listening & AV performances from: \nTelefon Tel Aviv\nSam Gendel\nSecret Circuit\nHeare\nMark Van Hoen / Locust\nElectric Sound Bath\nGeorgia (J.

SUMMARY:Audrey Chen • Nour Mobarak • Conscious Summary
DESCRIPTION:– live in concert – \nsolo performances \nAudrey Chen (Berlin/Baltimore)\nNour Mobarak\nConscious Summary \n8pm-11pm\ndonate eight \n  \nAUDREY CHEN \nArticulate down to a single vocal cord click\, Berlin-based improvisor Audrey Chen hyperextends voice\, mining material in between – and beyond – previous utterance. Finding sound via microtones of larynx squeak\, blowing wind turbulence with lip-flip flutters\, and plumming the corporeal with full throated phonation\, Chen also channels an electric flow of tone and pulse accompanying herself on a Ciat Lonbarde synth. Though clearly diverged from staid forms\, she thankfully maintains the rigor of her Classical training to service ever-new and of-the-moment free expression! Returning to L.A. for this solo scorcher and hopefully more\, Chen has worked with Maria Chavez\, Nate Wooley\, C. Spencer Yeh\, and Martín Escalante among many other players in the field. She also maintains a couple of core duos\, regularly parrying with Phil Minton\, and playing in Beam Splitter with Norwegian trombonist Henrik Munkeby Nørstebø. \nhttp://www.audreychen.com \n  \nNOUR MOBARAK \nScouting a new situation with each outing\, Nour Mobarak is an artist whose performance practice rarely repeats a scene\, though – it could be said\, out loud – her voice itself occupies a core presence in her work. Recently Mobarak has investigated the limits of language via a vexing and hyper-personal mode of inquiry: recording conversations with her father\, who speaks clearly\, but is constrained by a fugue state and a perpetually fleeting memory. Topics progress only so far\, before they cycle back or drift away\, even as the polylingual pair hop from one tongue to another. As she readies a record that draws from these convos\, she also prepares a late 2018 live performance at Human Resources Los Angeles. What it will be\, and how we will remember it\, may differ from one moment to the next. \nhttp://nour.computer \n  \nCONSCIOUS SUMMARY \nRightly associated with the autonomous zone that is (the) Handbag Factory performance venue and the Seahorse Sound recording studio\, Samur Khouja has also long poured the surreal into a solo project called Conscious Summary. This is a sound space where possibilities remain open. As this master of tech patches together an organic array of electronic process\, we can access other existential planes via swelling hums and dream of desert sand blowing. Just as easily\, auditory incursions of the weird and jagged shock us back into place. Conscious Summary’s latest Exhaustions has been issued just this month on Skintrade Recordings. \nhttps://conscioussummary.bandcamp.com

SUMMARY:Alexander Kluge: "News from Ideological Antiquity"
DESCRIPTION:Alexander Kluge’s film\, News From Ideological Antiquity: Marx-Eisenstein-Capital\, begins with Eisenstein’s ambitious but unrealized plan to combine Capital and Ulysses. For over nine hours\, the film expands in concentric circles as Kluge\, his guests\, interlocutors and monologists make associative links on a range of topics that starts from a filmic discussion of Eisenstein’s notes. Kluge’s film is divided into three parts: I. Marx and Eisenstein in the Same House; II. All Things are Bewitched People; III. Paradoxes of Exchange Society. At several points in the film we get a sense of what Eisenstein had in mind with his project. In one scene\, we see that a “pot of soup has become a water kettle\, boiling away and whistling: the image recurs at several moments in the exposition (Eisenstein’s notes projected in graphics on the intertitles)\, in such a way that this plain object is ‘abstracted’ into the very symbol of energy. It boils impatiently\, vehemently it demands to be used\, to be harnessed\, it is either the whistling signal for work\, for work stoppage\, for strikes\, or else the motor-power of a whole factory\, a machine for future production …” (Frederic Jameson in the New Left Review\, July/August 2009). By insistence and repetition this banal object\, a commodity\, transforms into a larger-than-life symbol\, and we start to get a sense of the full range of cognitive and material links this commodity has to the web of life that surrounds it. (Marty Kirchner) \nGermany\,  2008\, 570 minutes. Documentary/essay anthology film. German with English subtitles\nWriter/Director: Alexander Kluge\, Cinematography: Michael Christ\, Erich Harandt\, Werner Lüring\, Claudia Marcell\, Heribert Kansy\, Thomas Mauch\, Thomas Willke\, Walter Lennertz\, Editor: Kajetan Forstner\, Andreas Kern \nPresented in its entirety as a 9.5 hour “marathon” screening / Installation. Come and go as you like. Bring extra pillows/cushions for comfort.

SUMMARY:Views from Here: Los Angeles | A panel discussion about being based in LA
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Michelle Grabner with Jennifer Bolande\, Neha Choksi\, Courtney Fink\, Galia Linn\, Shana Lutker\, Forrest Olivo\, Paul Pescador\, and Paul Mpagi Sepuya \nJoin us for a conversation about regionality\, locality\, and the myriad of ways in which arts-workers find themselves living and working in Los Angeles. This panel is comprised of artists\, curators\, and art advocates who have spent time in Los Angeles looking out\, and outside of Los Angeles looking in. We come together to take a deeper look at ourselves\, as Angelenos. \nMilwaukee-based artist Michelle Grabner\, an informed “outsider\,” will lead a conversation among panelists and the audience about Los Angeles-ness. A lifelong midwesterner\, Grabner has questions about what’s happening in LA\, and wants to hear about Here. \nThis is the fourth X-TRA Forum\, a series of programs using the 20-year archive of contemporary art quarterly X-TRA as a springboard. Grabner looked back to her first contribution to X-TRA for inspiration for this program. In 1997\, she wrote a review of The Eagle Rock Show\, an exhibition organized by Laura Owens at the Eagle Rock Cultural Community Center printed in X-TRA Volume 1\, number 3. In her text\, Grabner considers the importance of “social skills and generosity” that infused the exhibition\, a group show of artists working in and around Eagle Rock. Now\, 20 years later\, what are the key elements that infuse our art lives in Los Angeles? \nModerator \nMichelle Grabner is an artist\, writer\, and a curator based in Wisconsin. She is the Crown Family Professor of Art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she has taught for twenty-three years. In addition\, Grabner has also held teaching appointments at The University of Wisconsin-Madison\, Cranbrook Academy of Art; Yale Norfolk; Milton Avery Graduate School of Arts\, Bard College; Yale University School of Art; and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, Maine. The Indianapolis Museum of Art\, MOCA Cleveland\, Illinois State Galleries\, and INOVA at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee have each hosted survey exhibitions of Grabner’s work. \nGrabner co-curated the 2014 Whitney Biennial and curated the 2016 Portland Biennial. She was the Artistic Director for the inaugural exhibition\, FRONT International\, the 2018 Cleveland Triennial for Contemporary Art. Her reviews are regularly published in X-TRA and Artforum. In 2010\, Mary Jane Jacob and Grabner co-edited THE STUDIO READER\, published by the University of Chicago Press. \nWith her husband Brad Killam\, she founded The Suburban in 1999 in Oak Park\, IL hosting a range of international contemporary art. After 16 years in the Chicago vicinity\, The Suburban began programming exhibitions in Milwaukee’s Walker’s Point neighborhood. In 2009 Grabner and Killam opened The Poor Farm in rural Waupaca County\, Wisconsin. The Poor Farm is dedicated to annual historical and contemporary exhibitions\, lectures\, performances\, publications\, screenings and alternative educational programs. \nPanelists \nJennifer Bolande came of age as part of New York’s Pictures Generation during the 1980s. Rooted in conceptualism\, her work employs various media—primarily sculpture\, photography and film—to explore the quiet affinities between particular sets of objects and images\, and the mercurial meanings they manufacture. Reviewing a show of her work at Metro Pictures\, New York Times’ critic Holland Cotter praised Bolande’s art for it’s “low-key wit\, lively inventiveness\, and subtle eye for metaphor.” Bolande is a professor in the New Genres area of UCLA’s Department of Art. A solo exhibition of her work\, titled The Composition of Decomposition\, is on view at Pio Pico gallery. \nNeha Choksi is a visual artist who works in multiple media\, across disciplines\, and at times collaboratively and in unconventional settings. She was awarded the India Today Best New Media Artist of the Year Award (2017) and the designation of Cultural Trailblazer by the City of Los Angeles DCA (2017/2018). She serves on the editorial board of X-TRA and is currently working with Anuradha Vikram on a series for X-TRA Online called “Views From Here” that will present perspectives on “here” from artists across the globe. Her work was included in Made in LA at the Hammer Museum earlier this year\, and her exhibition and installation\, ELEMENTARY\, is currently on view at 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica. \nCourtney Fink is an organizer\, arts advocate\, curator and writer. She is co-founder and founding executive director of Common Field\, a national network of independent visual arts organizations and organizers that connects\, supports\, and advocates for the artist-centered field. From 2002-2015 she was the executive director of Southern Exposure in San Francisco\, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting visual artists. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Seed Fund. \nForrest Olivo is the founder of Contemporary Art Daily\, a website that publishes high quality documentation of exhibitions from around the world every day. He is executive director of the small non-profit that produces that project as well as Contemporary Art Quarterly\, a set of exhaustive online archives documenting individual art practices. \nGalia Linn a sculptor and site-specific installation artist living and working in Los Angeles. Linn constructs relationships between subject\, object and their environments by creating elemental tensions; a delicate balance between the mediums’ limits and Linn’s exploration with life’s imperfections.  She has shown nationally and internationally\, and is part of numerous private collections in Los Angeles\, Miami\, New York\, Paris\, Brussels and Tel Aviv.  Linn is the founder of Blue Roof Studios is a multidisciplinary art hub located in South Los Angeles. It offers a place for artists to work in an environment that fosters creativity and community. \nShana Lutker is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationship between language and the unconscious. She has had solo exhibitions at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC\, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami\, and was included in the 2014 Whitney Biennial and Performa 13. Lutker received her MFA from UCLA. She serves as the Executive Director of Project X Foundation for Art & Criticism\, the nonprofit publisher of X-TRA. \nPaul Pescador is an artist\, filmmaker\, performer and writer discussing social interactions and intimacy as they pertain to his own personal identity and history. He graduated with an MFA from University of California\, Irvine and a BA from University of Southern California. Select exhibitions and screenings include: The Main Museum\, Los Angeles; The Pit\, Glendale; 18th Street Art Center\, Santa Monica; 5 Car Garage\, Santa Monica; Coastal/Borders\, Getty Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA at Angels Gate Cultural Center; LAND at The Gamble House\, Pasadena; Vacancy\, Los Angeles; Ashes/Ashes\, Los Angeles; Park View\, Los Angeles; and Human Resources\, Los Angeles.

By inserting mirrors and collage-like photographs and staging his friends\, partners\, and lovers as his subjects\, Sepuya investigates the role of the studio as a social environment. He received his MFA from the University of California Los Angeles in 2016 and a BFA from New York University Tisch School of the Arts in 2004. Sepuya’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions including at the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles; The Studio Museum in Harlem; Franklin Art Works\, Minneapolis; and the Artist Institute\, New York. \nX-TRA Forums are made possible with additional support from Pasadena Art Alliance\, Isambard Kingdom Brunel Society of North America\, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. The preceding X-TRA Forums were “A Jennifer Moon Songbook” organized by Malik Gaines\, “Clean Needles Now and Now” organized by Patrick Staff\, and “Something About Feet” with Dorit Cypis and Simone Forti in conversation. \nPhoto by Shana Lutker

SUMMARY:Elliot Reed: Ant
DESCRIPTION:January 11th + 12th 2019 12pm – 12am \nAnt is a new project by Elliot Reed. 45 performers create a film in private. The resulting multi-cam footage is projected in the same room\, January 11th + 12th 12pm – 12am \nAnt is inspired by the mathematics concept Langton’s Ant. Langton’s Ant proves that a set of repeated\, simple instructions reveals a complex pattern after many repetitions. This is an abstract machine. Actors navigate each other with written prompts\, each individual reacting to a secret motivation. All directing\, rehearsal\, and subsequent actions are filmed in real time. Any props or detritus from the shoot will be left exactly as is\, leaving a physical memory of private action. Potential is a word that comes to mind. Knowing\, believing\, and understanding that something powerful is present\, but somehow just out of reach. The viewer will recognize their body in relationship to the venue\, and in somatic response to the performers on screen. Elliot Reed will be present noon to midnight January 11th and 12th\, reading an original poem every hour. A printed collection of these poems titled Ant will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:Dorian Wood: Rhythm Nation 1814
DESCRIPTION:For one night only\, singer/composer Dorian Wood will honor the 30th anniversary of the release of Janet Jackson’s 1989 masterpiece “Rhythm Nation 1814” by performing it in its entirety\, arranged for voice and piano. Says Dorian: “I was 14 when this album came out. No other music at the time sounded like it. I knew every lyric and every dance move\, and Janet’s messages of social justice and reluctant sensuality helped shape my adolescence.” \n“A cutting edge sound that respectfully acknowledges the folk music of his birth\, Dorian is an artist who does not stop…his life is the rhythm of his creative impetus.” – GQ (Mexico) \n“The performer\, who bends genres as much as he bends gender\, in performances that are a little bit torch song and a lot avant-garde\, delivers vocals that offer sublime beauty and pain.” – Los Angeles Times

SUMMARY:There is almost not an interval
DESCRIPTION:We will walk along an unplanned route\, departing from HRLA at the end of the Golden Dragon Parade (3pm) on Saturday February 9th\, and then again at 3pm on Sunday February 10th. Each walk will begin in silence\, with conversation arriving in response to the territory covered and the pace of walking. Live audio from the walks will be streamed to HRLA for the duration of each walk—join us for the walk\, or stop by the gallery to listen in. \n\nThere is almost not an interval (lifted from Gertrude Stein’s 1926 mapping of a continuous present “Composition as Explanation”) approaches the formal components of attention (beginning\, ending\, duration\, suspension\, subject\, object) across a range of scales and distances. Seeking to “reconceptualize lurking as listening” as Kate Crawford proposed in 2009\, we talk now (and probably later too) about the role of memory\, anticipation\, projection\, and transience in forming the attentive listener. De-synchronized and displaced\, Intervals describe the contact between separated speeds\, tonalities\, rhythms\, and subjects; between interior and exterior\, public and private\, here and there\, now and then—punctuated by events and waiting\, covering distance and duration in steps.\n\n*note that Chinatown streets will be closed until 4pm on Saturday February 9th for the parade. Arriving via public transportation or rideshare is recommended on that day. (a map of road closures can be found here)

SUMMARY:Crinkle
DESCRIPTION:CRINKLE is a project exploring sensory perception and themes surrounding multi-sensory integration\, particularly the binding of taste and sound. An attempt at understanding the phenomenon of synesthesia moves one to question\, what does a taste experience sound like? How might a sound experience taste? \nIn asking\, this collaboration between artists Jonathan Silberman and Jasmine Sarp seeks to open a portal within which a unique culinary and soundscape experience will transpire. Over the course of a scored multi-course dinner\, performers and guests will examine and question orientation\, memory\, consciousness\, individual and shared experience\, resonance\, and vibration. \nThis dinner will take place three nights only\, with limited seating. Advanced ticket purchase is required to guarantee entry. \nFebruary 18\, 19\, and 20 @ 8 pm\nHuman Resources\, 410 Cottage Home Street \nfixed menu: $25\nfixed menu with wine: $35\n**The meal features a variety of small plates that include dairy\, gluten\, and nuts (pine nuts\, pistachios\, and hazelnuts). \nBios \nJonathan Silberman is a musician and community organizer based in Los Angeles.

Recent work includes the solo saxophone album Red in the Missile Room. He runs the shop/studio/art space Character Projects and co-runs the nonprofit organization Art in the Park. \nJasmine Sarp is a food artist\, graphic designer\, and community organizer living in Los Angeles. Her culinary project Violet Plateau is a means to attune to the surrounding landscape and to explore ground with those willing to share a table. \nThis event is part of LA Fog’s three-day artist residency under Human Resources’ programming series\, 2019-Q1. \nNOTE:\nJust added\, LA Fog will be hosting an after hours Jam Session and hangout\, FREE and open to all\, taking place after the Tuesday night CRINKLE event\, beginning at 10:30PM.

SUMMARY:Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle: The Evanesced
DESCRIPTION:In The Evanesced\, 100+ drawings\, large scale paintings and a suite of performances bring attention to a painful subject: missing black womxn in America and the African diaspora\, from history to the present day. Abstract “un-portraits” of elusive figures are conjured up–drawn with handmade brushes and while the Hinkle improvises dances to blues\, hip-hop\, and Baltimore Club music–pivot between real and imagined narratives representing thousands of black women who have disappeared due to colonialism\, human trafficking\, homicides\, and other forms of erasure. The Evanesced: Embodied Disappearance is a suite of performances that evoke the presences of various types of womxn navigating historical and contemporary contexts. The performance–which includes a soundtrack of whispers\, shuffles\, and snippets of popular and underground music–adds another dimension to this emotional examination of a fraught part of the black female experience. The Evanesced is an expression of the #SayHerName movement of mourning\, awareness\, and healing. \nKenyatta A.C. Hinkle is an interdisciplinary visual artist\, writer\, and performer. Her practice fluctuates between collaborations and participatory projects with alternative gallery spaces within various communities to projects that are intimate and based upon her private experiences in relationship to historical events and contexts. A term that has become a mantra for her practice is the “Historical Present\,” as she examines the residue of history and how it affects our contemporary world perspective. Her artwork and experimental writing has been exhibited and performed at The Studio Museum in Harlem\, Project Row Houses\, The Hammer Museum\, The Museum of Art at The University of New Hampshire\, The Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) in San Francisco\, The Made in LA 2012 Biennial\, The BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art\, Newcastle upon Tyne\, UK and Páramo Galeria\, Guadalajara\, Mexico. Hinkle’s work has been reviewed by the Los Angeles Times\, LA Weekly\, Artforum\, Hyperallergic\, The Huffington Post\, The Washington Post and The New York Times. She is also the recipient of several awards including: The Cultural Center for Innovation’s Investing in Artists Grant\, Social Practice in Art (SPart-LA)\, Jacob K Javits Fellowship for Graduate Study\, The Fulbright Fellowship\, and The Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artists Award. Her writing has appeared in Not That But This\, Obsidian Journal\, Among Margins: Critical & Lyrical Writing on Aesthetics\, and she has a forthcoming first book called SIR\, a reflection on naming as a tool for undefining the defined\, that will be published with Litmus Press. Hinkle is currently an Assistant Professor of Painting at UC Berkeley’s Department of Art Practice.

SUMMARY:Medium Judith: The Plumbing Tree
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 28 8pm\nFriday\, March 1 8pm  \nTickets: $10\, Buy online to reserve a seat as tickets are limited!! Tickets will also be available at the door if we do not sell out online. buy here \nThe Plumbing Tree is a three-act play\, told through the perspectives of an eccentric family plagued by dogma. Each act is narrated by Miasma\, the personification of a smell. What appears to be an episode of sibling rivalry as presented on a sitcom television show\, shatters into pandemonium after the family is poisoned by methane gas from a plumbing disaster in their front lawn. In the flood of excrement\, the family descends into a collective hallucination. Madness and despair gifts each member of the household with a lucidity that radically calls into question their world views. The play explores ideas of queer familial structures\, polarizing political ideologies\, and social contagions. \nPerformed By: Julia Yerger\, Arne Gjelten\, Chelsea Rector\, Christane Oyen\, Flannery Silva\, and Nour Moborak \nMedium Judith is a host for an interdisciplinary methodology for writing experimental theater works. The company originated in 2012 in Baltimore\, MD with works composed by Bully Fae Collins and Amanda Horowitz. Their collaboration began as an urgent response to emergent political tools of the internet and their recombinant effects on power. Backdropped by this changing political landscape\, they debuted Shy World (2013)\, a one-act play satirizing the conditions of the surveillance state\, internet addiction\, and online activism. It was performed at the Red Room in Baltimore MD and it’s documentation is distributed by Printed Matter NYC. Other projects include\, Flash Drive for Fluxus – a script generated through text messaging\, Lagoon Female – an ongoing collaborative research group\, and Defy a Thing to Be – a performance and dance piece created for Bully Fae. Through a process that utilizes conceptual sculpture\, joke writing\, and concept-map making\, Medium Judith creates a queer theater in which cultural signifiers are transmuted and recomposed into an experimental world logic and value system. \nImage credit: Jonathan Chacon
