SUMMARY:William Basinski + Lawrence English: Selva Oscura
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nWilliam Basinski + Lawrence English: Selva Oscura \nWednesday May 8th\nat\n9pm \nPlease note: this is a special seated performance with limited capacity. Advance tickets are recommended. \nticket link\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/william-basinski-lawrence-english-selva-oscura-tickets-61247423693 \nfacebook event page\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/2425987850747632/ \nFrom their respective bases in Los Angeles and Brisbane\, William Basinski and Lawrence English – two crucial figures of ambient music – collaborated remotely\, trading and manipulating sonic materials to create an ever fleeting\, ever unfolding masterwork: Selva Oscura. Released last year by Temporary Residence Ltd.\, the album explores a liminal space at the very edge of beholding\, at once strange and familiar. The phrase Selva Oscura literally translates “as ‘twilight forest\,’ it metaphorically speaks to both those who find themselves on the unfamiliar path and more explicitly the nature of losing one’s way in place and time.” \nJust after twilight on Wednesday May 8th\, the pair convene in the same room in Los Angeles for a rare performance around this cycle\, plumming the resonant space of Human Resources with a shifting pallette of sound. Come catch their perpetual drift.

SUMMARY:Theo Triantafyllidis: Anti-Gone
DESCRIPTION:Anti-Gone\nA Performance in Mixed-Reality by Theo Triantafyllidis\nMay 11th & 12th\, 7pm\nDuration: 3 acts\, 60mins\, no intermission \nIn a post-climate change world\, environmental catastrophe has become normalized. Cities are sunken\, yet the vestiges of late-capitalist culture – consumerism\, inequality\, social unrest – live on\, clinging like barnacles to the ruins of civilization. Spyda and Lynxa are a couple navigating this world frictionlessly. On their sailboat\, they glide from shopping to movies to psychedelic drugs. In a damaged world where you can have anything you want\, what’s the cost? \nTheo Triantafyllidis’ debut feature-length performance\, Anti-Gone\, is a sprawling experiment in 3D world-building\, real-time simulation\, interactivity and theatricality. Adapted from the eponymous graphic novel by Connor Willumsen\, Triantafyllidis takes the idiosyncratic narrative and visual style of Anti-Gone as a platform to explore the possibilities and limitations of what was once called “Theater”. As Triantafyllidis re-creates the world of Willumsen’s Anti-Gone as a series of 3D scenes\, performers Matthew Doyle\, Lindsey Normington and Zana Gankhyug embark on improvisational excursions in this mediated world. The performers explore dramatic tropes from absurdist theater to psychological realism and somatic awareness\, while the game engine performs alongside them. The actors presence is augmented and complicated by virtual reality headsets\, motion capture suits and audio DSP. Using these tools\, Triantafyllidis directs and shapes the world that is being presented to both the performers and the audience in real time. Anti-Gone asserts theatricality as a new way of thinking fictionally\, as real space is re-incorporated into subjective game logics. The audience is given a theater re-invigorated with new techniques for pleasure and play as the world outside simulates its own destruction… \nBased on the original comic book by Connor Willumsen\nProduced by Matthew Doyle\nStarring Lindsey Normington\, Zana Gankhuyag\, Matthew Doyle\nLighting Design by Connor Childs\nSound by Jeffrey Alan Scudder\nProduction Assistant Polina Miliou\nSpecial Thanks to Mari Spirito\, Celia Hollander\, Luke Fischbeck. \nTheo Triantafyllidis is represented by The Breeder\, Athens and Meredith Rosen\, New York. \nWith the support of UCLA Design | Media Arts\, bitforms gallery.\nTechnical sponsorship by Barco Projectors\, Noitom MoCap. \nAdvance tickets may be purchased here

SUMMARY:Phil Minton & Audrey Chen • Swinging Chandeliers • Corey Fogel
DESCRIPTION:UPEND  presents \nPHIL MINTON & AUDREY CHEN (London/Berlin)\nSWINGING CHANDELIERS\nCOREY FOGEL \ndoors 8pm\nsound 9pm\ndonate $10 \nPHIL MINTON /  AUDREY CHEN DUO\n✶ Los Angeles debut ✶ \nPhil Minton (b. 1940\, Torquay\, England) is a improvisor whose contorted vocal emissions have pushed beyond the boundaries of genre. The past four decades have heard his glossolaliac gurgles\, squeaks\, and deconstructed operatic flights operate within the realms of Free Improvisation\, the body of Jazz itself\, and varied electro-acoustic activities. Over the eras\, he’s collabbed live and on record with an epic list of ace improvisors including Fred Frith\, John Butcher\, Bob Ostertag\, and Joëlle Léandre. To this day (at the end of his 70s!) Minton is a mainstay of London’s Café OTO scene\, and regularly parries in an acoustic vocal duo with Berlin-based improvisor Audrey Chen (b. 1976\, Illinois). With compatible palates\, and complimentary instincts they engage in an instant interplay of queue and chase\, gesture and spittle. Chen herself 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! She has worked with Maria Chavez\, Nate Wooley\, and C. Spencer Yeh among many others. Though Minton and Chen have toured in Europe and U.S. and have cut a couple records together – including a fine duo outing on Sub Rosa – this date marks their first performance in Los Angeles. \nSWINGING CHANDELIERS \nSwinging Chandeliers is the life-duo of reel-to-reel master Joseph Hammer and hypno-visualist Sayo Mitsubishi\, and together they divine a liminal zone of total art and perpetual weirdness. Previous swings have seen Mitsuishi improvise visuals via overhead projector\, unfurling a stream of subconsciousness – drawing simultaneously with each hand. The transparency that scrolls across her platten is more of a match than a metaphor for the looped tape traveling over the heads of Hammer’s rig. \nCOREY FOGEL \nCorey Fogel is a artist and drummer who has clear control over percussive rudiments as well as the will to disrupt the flow. Setting and breaking expectations\, breaking out of rhythm\, and finding ways to surprise with what-to-hit and what-to-drop\, whether it’s a beat or a wrench – either in the system or\, yes\, literally a wrench – Fogel is continually active locally and across the country and the pond improvising and on recent tours with the versatile unit that is Julia Holter’s band and the Tasha Wada Group. Fogel’s solo outings in town\, however\, are curiously infrequent\, and on this auspicious occasion he’ll share some of his instant art idioms.

His diverse body of work includes narrative feature films\, media installations\, performance art and photography. His work is characterized by a dreamy\, surrealistic approach to every day experience and to notions such as identity\, sexuality\, repression and desire.

SUMMARY:The Never Quartet: An Installation by Michael Morley
DESCRIPTION:Music for The Never Quartet \nan installation for a quartet of four \nbowed acoustic guitars by Michael Morley \n  \nSunday July 14th \nAfternoon\, Dusk\, Night \n4:30pm – 6:30pm – 8:30pm \nfree and open to the public \n  \nwith special performances by Electric Sound Bath & CGRSM \nBlack Editions and Human Resources Los Angeles present the U.S. premiere of The Never Quartet\, a new sound installation piece by Michael Morley. \nMichael Morley is a New Zealand based sound artist and visual artist. His work across a range of genre confirms his abilities as an artist\, composer\, improvisor\, performer\, and producer. Responsible for over 100 audio releases from 1985 to 2019 as: Gate\, The Dead C\, The Righteous Yeah\, The Fuck Chairs\, Sun Valley\, and many other collaborations and solo recordings. The development of Music for The Never Quartet has come from a thirty year exploration of the guitar and of sound as art. \nMusic for The Never Quartet seeks to employ the resonating qualities of wooden acoustic guitars placed upon items of wooden furniture to reveal connections between time and space by sonically activating the instruments and the other wooden objects within architectural structures. Tonal drones are produced by acoustic guitars placed on the top of solid wooden furniture. The tones are generated in the guitars using electronic bows that are placed upon the steel guitar strings. \nDuring the installation the audience will be encouraged to record and playback loops of the quartet on their personal mobile devices so as to contribute to the composition and performance in real-time. \nThe installation will be activated for three 1-hour intervals. Between these intervals there will be special performances featuring: \nELECTRIC SOUND BATH  \nLos Angeles-based duo comprised of Ang Wilson (modular synthesizer and singing bowls) and Brian Griffith (bass guitar and electronics). Inspired by the sound baths made famous by the Integratron\, ESB uses singing bowls\, as well as electric instrumentation to create similarly dense wombs of sound that envelop the listener. \n& \nCGRSM \nLos Angeles artists Christopher Reid Martin and Gabie Strong combine forces as CGRSM to create long form drone music\, focusing on harmonic sensory inundations to render spirited body resonances. The duo traditionally use a variety of electronic instrumentations\, relying mainly on amplified guitars. For this performance\, the duo will play accordion and harmonium to explore the spatial conditions of vibrational acoustics.

SUMMARY:Jobel Medina: KILL THE MONSTERS
DESCRIPTION:Los Angeles based dancer\, choreographer\, and photographer\, Jobel Medina will premiere two new solos for the first time in two years at Human Resources. \nHighly physical and thought-provoking\, Jobel’s new solos undertake problematic subjects with humor and sensuality.

SUMMARY:Donna Oblongata: All 100 Fires
DESCRIPTION:Somewhere in a forest nearby\, a lone guerrilla commander will ask you to prove yourself during a game of Pass the Sponge. If you fail at that\, maybe you can help grind the sulfur. \nMeanwhile\, the Giant Ibis was thought to be extinct in Cambodia\, though footage from a few years ago reveals that some still exist. That part of the story is true. Basically. But can you really believe a man who was brought up in the taxidermy trade? Join our hero\, who actually is maybe a traitor\, for the war we were born to fight. \nDonna Oblongata returns after taking three years off from touring with a new solo show\, All 100 Fires. The show stars a guerrilla commander and you\, the new recruits. Birds flutter in and out\, though mostly they are dead. \nIt’s a funny play if you like being told that your best isn’t good enough. It’s a sad play if you were hoping for something more optimistic. It’s an educational play if you want to learn how to make explosives. \nWritten & performed by Donna Oblongata\nProduction/puppet design by Patrick Costello\nDirected by Francesca Montanile Lyons \nRunning time: 70 minutes. \ntickets $10-15 sliding scale available here and at the door\, no-one turned away for lack of funds. \nNOT FOR CHILDREN. Ages 16+ only\, please. \nCONTENT WARNINGS: Show features guns\, suicide\, scary noises and smoke effects. \n“A visionary with a knack for creating experiences that transcend the norm…The scope of this production was unreal…a masterpiece.” –Geekadelphia \n“A welcome oasis of imagination…High-energy\, funny\, and surprisingly moving.” –DC MetroArts

SUMMARY:toxinosexofuturecummings
DESCRIPTION:“Ages ago\, about exactly one week after having Nexplanon removed from the inner side of my left arm\, under the skin\, I felt how my shoulders widened.\nNexplanon is a birth control implant that releases progestin.\nIt contains 68 mg of the active substance etonogestrel.\nSynthetic progestin mimics the actions of progesterone\, a naturally occurring hormone.” \n– Ana Teo Ala-Ruona \ntoxinosexofuturecummings is a bodyfiction about pleasurable sex on a polluted planet. It’s a speech performance of a body making itself with words. In the performance sex is seen as an evolutionary and developmental process. It opens up a world in which materials and multispecies bodies infiltrate each other\, giving and receiving pleasure. The world is thoroughly polluted\, but possible\, queer and trans: full of new pleasures and sexualities. \ntoxinosexofuturecummings is a performance about an anticipatory and transformational state. \nContent warning: The piece deals with environmental toxins\, pollution\, hormones and transition. The speech also includes sexual and pornographic content. \nIn Human Resources the work will be performed in collaboration with LA based trans-futurist and sound synthesist Scallion Chloe. \nWorking group:\nAna Teo Ala-Ruona (text & speech)\nAlvi Haapamäki (costume & maski)\nSatu Kankkonen (sound design)\nScallion Chloe (sound design and processing)\nElina Minn (dramaturgy) \nSaara Hannus (production assistance) \nPhoto credit: Nova Kaspia \nAna Teo Ala-Ruona is a performance and visual artist and educator based in Helsinki. They are interested in generating new forms of collectivity\, interdependence and futurities in artistic practice\, while creating space for silenced\, unheard or non-normative\, queer and trans narratives and experiences. Drawing from techniques found in the fields of feminist pedagogy\, contemporary performance and theater\, activism\, and literature\, they create collaborative strategies for feminist speculative fiction in lived practice. https://anateoalaruona.net \nOrganized in conjunction with Ana Teo Ala-Ruona’s solo exhibition TWAH(=These Worlds Are Here) at Gas\, a mobile\, autonomous\, experimental and networked platform for contemporary art located in a truck gallery parked around Los Angeles and online.

SUMMARY:Shawn Greenlee • Vasculae • Nial Morgan
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nwednesday night noise \ndoors at eight\nsound nine\n–\ndonate seven \nSHAWN GREENLEE (Providence\, RI) \nA perennial figure of Providence’s stridently independent underground\, Shawn Greenlee is known as a pusher of thresholds as a core member of the noise-rock unit Landed\, and had been long identified with his project Pleasurehorse. Having shed that moniker some years back in favor of his own name for solo work\, Greenlee’s practice has only grown to encompass more ground\, branching into complex electro-acoustic experiments\, while still courting the extremes possible within the fabric of digital manipulation. Focused on generating digital audio from graphic patterns – via computer programs of his own design – he advances new methods for interpreting visual image as sound. Indeed\, his live sets pull in a staggering range of sounds\, from crackle to shrill. And\, he’s successfully bridged the gap\, bringing the noise into academic spheres – teaching at Rhode Island School of Design\, and recently diffusing his work through the High Density Speaker array at Virginia Tech. \nVASCULAE \nSound in opposition\, Vasculae is a solo project from Jonathan Borges of Pedestrian Deposit. Untethered by a single compositional approach\, he corrals organic source material into a heavy contemplations\, emphasizing textures and natural dynamics. \nNIAL MORGAN \nNial Morgan has played it fast in loose in solo projects Wrong Hole and Race to the Bottom\, and is a sound contributor to the aesthetic juggernaut that is Free The Land. Lately – under his own name – he has been booting up to process his cache of field recordings.

DESCRIPTION:$10 // bring your friends // Doors at 8pm\, Sets at 8:30 \n\n\n\n\n\nAbe Hollow (Oakland)// Abe Hollow is the new songwriting project of Oakland-based composer and producer Adam Hirsch.

SUMMARY:Marcia Bassett + Samara Lubelski / Kaori Suzuki + John Krausbauer / Rogue Squares
DESCRIPTION:Doors 8 / Music 9\nAdvance tickets available here \nMARCIA BASSETT (guitar) and SAMARA LUBELSKI (violin) first performed as a duo in 2009\, improvising musical scores to films by Michael Snow and Hollis Frampton at X-Initiative\, Next Years Model series at DIA. Since their initial collaboration\, Bassett and Lubelski have continued to draw from their like-minded approach to improvisational music; creating personal interplay with the environmental surroundings to expand on abstraction\, chromatic noise\, and long form drone. Both Bassett and Lubelski have extensive backgrounds in the East Coast / NYC sub-underground. Bassett has performed in experimental music projects for over twenty years including Un\, GHQ\, Hototogisu\, Double Leopards and her solo project Zaïmph. Lubelski is best known as a solo artist with eight full-length releases\, but she has also been involved in various art-music provocations\, Hall of Fame\, Tower Recordings\, as a member of Thurston Moore’s band\, and in her associations with the long-standing German collective Metabolismus. The 2012 release of their first LP Sunday Night\, Sunday Afternoon\, on KYE Records\, was praised as having “ … incredible expanses and delicately menacing interplay with an increasingly satisfying audaciousness upon each subsequent listen.” — Paul Haney\, Tiny Mix Tapes. The latest LP\, ‘Live NYC’\, Feeding Tube Records (June 2017)\, “Elegantly shows just how much brain damage you can do using only a guitar and a violin… A tale of twinned and lightly fuzzed tones\, twirling and blending…The threads of sound absolutely phosphoresce. It’s an incredible mix of motion\, stillness and power.” – Byron Coley. The duo will have a new LP release on Drawing Room Records Fall 2019. \nKaori Suzuki (US/JP) and John Krausbauer (US) will present music for voices\, amplified strings\, electronics\, and bell percussion. Their work originates from a shared interest in ecstatic and spiritual musics as well as the “avant-garde”. Utilizing sustained tones\, alternate tunings\, long durations/playing endurances\, and stroboscopic lighting\, their music explores the parameters and possibilities of psychotropic ‘experiential’ environments rather than the strictly ‘musical’. \n \nKaori Suzuki is a Tokyo-born music maker/composer living in Oakland\, CA. Her spiraling sound visions often take form in long durations\, using electroacoustic sound technologies\, intensely high register electronics\, modified acoustic instruments\, and tape. She seeks to create heightened listening states\, emphasizing finding ‘music’ within activated space-time. She currently performs solo and plays drums in the Oakland based Minimalist psych-punk group\, Night Collectors; amplified strings in the Ecstatic Music Band; and collaborates with partner\, John Krausbauer\, on immersive light/sound happenings. She has toured and performed her music across the US\, Japan\, Europe\, Mexico\, and Canada\, and has released her music on independent labels in Germany and the US. \nJohn Krausbauer is a composer/multi-instrumentalist/improviser based in Oakland\, CA and co-founder of the Los Angeles publishing label\, Besom Presse. A long time purveyor of the ur-drone and trance-psychedelia\, his work involves audio transmissions for TOTAL/immersive sensory experience. Transcendence through repetition\, duration\, alternate tunings\, maximum volumes\, and stroboscopic lighting. He has performed and presented his music across N America\, Europe\, and Japan in a multitude of settings – from basements\, sidewalks\, and rock clubs to colleges\, churches\, and art museums. Over 20 recordings of his have been released on independent labels in the US\, Europe\, and Japan. His group and solo music can be found on Important\, Beta-Lactam Ring\, ANTS\, Fabrica\, Debacle\, Autumn\, Thin Wrist (upcoming)\, and a number of other international labels. His current music projects include the Ecstatic Music Band (a 10+ member-collective of strings players); solo music for voice\, violin\, and synth; his collaboration with partner\, Kaori Suzuki\, with bells\, voices\, strings\, tape; the Minimalist psych-punk group Night Collectors; his systems-based phase compositions; and ongoing duo collaborations with Kentuckian steel bodied resonator guitar player R. Keenan Lawler\, NYC bagpipe player David Watson\, and Tokyo based guitarist Tetuzi Akiyama.

With yek koo\, Fassonaki explores the body as a vehicle for the movement of sound\, utilizing it as a filtering system that pushes sound through the responsive chambers of matter\, air\, and environment\, creating experiences that can be both emotively charged and spatially transformative. \nAside from her expressive free-form guitar\, pocket trumpet\, and vocal wailings in duo project Metal Rouge (with Andrew Scott)\, Fassonaki is known to resound trails of invisible effects and echoes through cassette players and prepared tap shoes\, some of which can be heard on Head\, released on Drawing Room Records in 2017. Bridging her sound and ecological interests\, Fassonaki is currently experimenting with binaural recordings of circular vocal chanting in various natural and geological sites and one-tone compositions in restricted spaces. \nhttps://helgafassonaki.com/yek_koo/\nhttps://soundcloud.com/yek-koo/tracks\nhttps://yekkoo.bandcamp.com/\n~\n~ ~\n~ ~ ~\nCASA BERENICE TRIO (LA)\nCasa Berenice Trio (Heather Lockie\, Clay Chaplin\, and Sepand Shahab) make ambient electro-acoustic improvisation.

SUMMARY:Secret Joy
DESCRIPTION:September 27th & 28th\, 8:30 pm \nWritten and directed by Brian Getnick\, performed by Dani O’Terry and Gregory Barnett \n  \nSecret Joy is a play about beheading the past to make it speak. Sculptural costumes and weaponry are taken up by the performers to transform an ancient power struggle between the crowd and leader into a psychic battle between the body and mind. \nFollowing the presentation of Punishment’s Place in the fall of 2018\, Secret Joy is the second in a quartet of performances engaging the desire for retribution played out in the transformations of monumental sculptural figures. \n5-10$ suggested donation at the door \nResearch for this project was facilitated by the Wallis Annenberg Helix Fellowship \n  \nbriangetnick.com \n  \n*photo by Julie Weitz

SUMMARY:Shhh
DESCRIPTION:Sadly\, in a show about quietness\, it’s my first instinct to write about getting noisy.  \nIf I latch onto a metaphor for political action\, a reader could imagine the swarming power of the colony because\, yes\, each hive is made up of little bees and so\, the modest can become intrusive\, and sure\, maybe the meek will actually inherit the earth—but after all that reversal\, how do we know the oppressed won’t transform despotic? Why was noisy my first instinct and why is it so hard to believe in an equanimous future? Is it because in lives of simple binaries\, a participant can only react to the ‘either’ and never just be? I am…so sick of thinking in opposition\, the quiet that only exists in relation to what is noisy. \nWhat about the value of just one quiet thing at a time? Here’s a show where we’re trying: one night of shuffling sound\, sitting quietly\, and praising the modest rumble. A night of addressing our loud world by checking statement pieces at the door. No promises to save the planet\, just an opportunity to be present for it. \nHope to see you there.

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.

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.

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

SUMMARY:Gong Gaada • Glochids • lucky dragons
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nGong Gaada\nGlochids\nlucky dragons \ndonate eight\ndoors at nine \nat\nHuman Resources\n410 Cottage Home Street\n90012 \nGONG GAADA \nInspired by gamelan traditions as much as the contemporary experimental scenes of Indonesia\, Gong Gaada is a Los Angeles-based trio exploring a hyrbrid form of their own devise. Utilizing a couple reyong – the arrays of metal gongs used in Balinese gamelan – and suling – bamboo flute – and modular synthesizer\, the group lays out familiar and creative patterns and tones as a matrix for departure. The analog electronics pick up and process of the acoustic drama in real-time\, honing in on certain frequencies\, the modular output augmenting their sounds with new-found harmonics and psychedelic flitter. Groove intact\, noise rips and punctuates in step with the hypnotic rhythms of their struck metal attack. This fresh ensemble has performed just few times locally\, and this summer took their sound to the east coast\, including a performance in Vermont at Gong Brattleboro: Experiments in Gamelan. Gong Gaada is Matthew Clough-Hunter – Reyong and Suling\, Hirotaka Inuzuka – Reyong\, Cordey Lopez – Modular Synthesizer. \nGLOCHIDS \nGlochids is the aural ecology of Oakland-based artist James Roemer. Via sounds captured and made\, gently tugged and pulled\, Glochids intuits without regard for the lines between the organic and mechanic. This diaristic audiosphere draws from environmental recording\, concrète and electronic sounds\, paced with savvy edits and flow. In live settings\, the play table fills with selections from a cache of vernacular electronics and dead media. (On occasion – for example – the artist utilizes a magnetic stripe card reader to store simple samples and warble possibly imperfect playbacks.) Acoustic emanations are also in the cards\, as gamelan sounds have cameoed live and on record. Roemer’s affinity to the Indonesian form is subtle but evident in Glochids tonal and aesthetic predilections. A sonic lifer and veteran of the road\, Roemer continually experiments in the field. This year he resided and worked through the Austral Summer in Antartica\, followed by a musical tour of Indonesia\, bringing inspiration full circle into sound. Glochids has released on labels including Ascetic House\, Weird Ear\, and Phinery. \nlucky dragons \nFor this event lucky dragons will play spectral symmetries of soul.
