In a hyperbolic world of live music and immersive video art\, TROPHY follows the pursuits of three dancers who face a gnawing pressure to exhibit success and the impact of media authority over them.

Futernick “13 Presidents” Book launch and artist’s talk\, in conversation with Steve Kado DESCRIPTION:In 2014\, Marisa J. Futernick drove nearly ten thousand miles across America\, visiting all thirteen of the country’s Presidential libraries along the way. 13 Presidents is the result: an artist’s book that combines photographs from the journey with a suite of short stories. Mixing fact and fiction\, each President from Herbert Hoover to George W. Bush is a protagonist in this collection of unexpected portraits. \nThe photographs\, shot on analogue film\, depict the everyday details of the towns that these men are from\, including the homes where they were born\, and their final resting places. 13 Presidents weaves together personal narrative with wider cultural observation\, forming a vision of America that is both invented and true. \nMarisa J. Futernick is an artist and writer based in London. She was born in Detroit\, Michigan and raised in Hartford\, Connecticut. Futernick has published several books\, including How I Taught Umberto Eco to Love the Bomb (RA Editions and California Fever Press\, 2015) and The Watergate Complex (Rice + Toye\, 2015). She has exhibited widely\, at venues including the Whitechapel Gallery\, London; Royal Academy of Arts\, London; Jerwood Space\, London; Arnolfini\, Bristol\, England; and Yale University. \nSteve Kado is an artist\, writer and musician from North York. Works and performances of his have been seen at places like The Wattis\, 8-11\, Tate Britain\, YEARS and REDCAT. He co-hosts the Talking Show on KCHUNG radio with Nicolas Miller and is the Editor-at-large for Prism of Reality. Other writing of his has appeared in Artforum\, Flash Art and a piece about his visit to the Nixon Library was recently published in Night Papers. He is in the band LEAD. \n13 Presidents is published by Slimvolume in September 2016.

These underground sounds have been spooled by tape labels crucial to their times: Gods of Tundra\, Night People\, NNA\, and Vitrine. More frequent live appearances and Beatty’s Soundtracks for Takeshi Murata have brought his sounds to more ears and his name to more lips. An apparent insistence on cassette and vinyl for physical releases hint at the technology-stretch at play in all of his work. Like the globally recognizable album art Beatty has created for others\, his own electro-sonics blur the line between analog artifact and digital method. And this ambiguity is intrinsic to his era-less weirdness: mystery mindscapes that can evoke The Residents or alternately offer a fully twisted take on contempo fake-techno. This is Beatty’s first show in Los Angeles in three years and his first in town since shedding the Three Legged Race moniker for live performances in favor of his own name. \nJohn Wiese / Mitchell Brown \nCuts and folds and layers of sound; abstractions that suggest referent but defy recognition. Words fail\, but still these here do loosely approximate audio aspects of two perennial figures of experimental music activity in Los Angeles. Mitchell Brown’s seemingly ubiquitous presence performing live has brought his analog alchemies and head expansion techniques to the front of the class as Professor Cantaloupe and as a next-gen LAFMS exponent. John Wiese’s digital incisions and perpetual bricolage have laid a concrète path from the extremities of the American underground\, around the earth\, and to the studios of INA-GRM. Duo collaborations are core to each of these system-riggers\, and – of course – they are no strangers: the Superstitious cut on Wiese’s mid-career chronicle Deviate from Balance documents an early aughts meeting between the two\, and they have collabed live with each other in various Spacek ensembles and Smegma connected jams. Yet\, the two haven’t paired up for a live action in nearly a dozen years. Come hear the air tear. \nSmokey Emery \nBarely within sight\, darkness swallows a shadow at the far end of a long corridor\, leaving only a cascade of echoes. Such are the dank dreamstate atmospherics conjured by Smokey Emery\, a long running project of Houston-born artist Daniel Hipólito. An itinerant accumulator of sound\, he coaxes a mix of soundscape fragments and material decay from prepared tape loops snaking through a apparatus of vintage dictaphone\, reel-to-reel\, and cassette decks. Synthesis and rhythm also work their way into the flow\, as has been captured on recent releases on Holodeck and Chondritic Sound. With Hipólito’s re-location to Los Angeles from Texas\, Smokey Emery has begun to be more readily visible diffusing sound into rooms around town.

Launch and Discussion DESCRIPTION:In Keywords (1976)\, Raymond Williams devised a “vocabulary” of culture and society that reflected the vast social transformations marking the post-war period. Following Williams\, Keywords for Radicals asks: what vocabulary might illuminate the social transformations marking our own contested present? How do these words shape the political imaginary of today’s radical left? \nBringing together the insights of dozens of scholars and committed troublemakers\, Keywords for Radicals constellates a vocabulary of contested words that shape today’s political landscape. More than a glossary\, Keywords for Radicals makes clear that contests over word usage and meaning are themselves meaningful. By forcing words to reveal the underlying social contradictions they symptomatically express\, the contributors to this volume provide an important new vantage on the terrain—and the stakes—of contemporary struggle. \nJoin special guest Robin D.G. Kelley and Keywords for Radicals editor Clare O’Connor to explore the meaning and significance of the worlds within our words! \nROBIN D.G. KELLEY is is the Gary B. Nash Professor of American History at UCLA. His research has explored the history of social movements in the U.S.\, the African Diaspora\, and Africa; black intellectuals; music; visual culture; contemporary urban studies; poverty studies and ethnography; colonialism/imperialism; organized labor; constructions of race; Surrealism\, Marxism\, nationalism\, among other things. \nCLARE O’CONNOR is a contributing editor of Keywords for Radicals and a doctoral student in Communication at USC. She is former Coordinator of the Public Interest Research Group (Toronto) and cofounder of the activist training program Tools for Change. Between 2007 and 2013 she served on the editorial committee of Upping the Anti: A journal of theory and action. \nFor more information about the book\, visit:\nhttps://www.akpress.org/keywords-for-radicals.html URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/keywords-for-radicals-l-a-launch-and-discussion/ LOCATION:Human Resources LA\, 410 Cottage Home\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012 CATEGORIES:one-time event at HR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/14372396_781374875336235_5395554754568885145_o.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161023T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161023T200000 DTSTAMP:20161021T231707Z CREATED:20160926T233517Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161021T231707Z UID:2236-1477252800-1477252800@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Southland Ensemble: John Cage 1975-77 DESCRIPTION:A program that explores three compositions by John Cage from the mid to late 1970’s – Child of Tree\, Cheap Imitation and Renga. \nThese three works range from iconic (Child of Tree) to rarely performed (Renga)\, and feature three of Cage’s primary notational styles – text\, graphic\, and traditionally notated – yet are all equally pioneering and adventurous in nature. \nChild of Tree\ncomposed in New York City 1975 \nCheap Imitation for violin solo\nedited by Paul Zukofsky\ncomposed in New York City 1977 \nRenga\ncomposed in New York City\, Caracas\, Cuernavaca\, Toronto\, Perth\, Sydney\, Adelaide\, Canberra\, Kyoto\, Tokyo & Sapporo September 1975-April 1976 \nSouthland Ensemble is:\nCasey Anderson  Jennifer Bewerse  Eric KM Clark  Orin Sie Hildestad  James Klopfleisch  Jonathan Stehney  Cassia Streb  Christine Tavolacci URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/southland-ensemble-john-cage-1975-77/ LOCATION:Human Resources LA\, 410 Cottage Home\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012 CATEGORIES:one-time event at HR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/renga_sample.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161027T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161027T220000 DTSTAMP:20161218T203606Z CREATED:20161003T000316Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161218T203606Z UID:2241-1477596600-1477605600@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Dorian Wood + String Quartet : A Dios DESCRIPTION:Of us\, repeatedly staring down into the precipice of fleeting consciousness; of milk and lust; of the breadth of celebrity death…an evening of music by Dorian Wood and conductor/arranger Danny Graziani\, with art direction by Eduardo Alvarez (director of Wood’s video “O”).\n \n\n“A fearless artist and performer whose voice inhabits a room like a choir of ghosts” (LA Weekly)\, Dorian Wood seeks to glorify both the sanctity and irreverence of intimacy. Through the use of his corpulent body and distinct vocalization\, Wood revels in challenging the artist-audience separation\, using subject matter informed by his own position in society as a queer man of color and an autodidact without a formal college education nor a strong alliance to any particular community. His work has been showcased in institutions such as LACMA (Los Angeles)\, The Stone (NYC)\, Kulturhuset (Stockholm)\, and Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin). As a musician\, he has released over a dozen recordings. His two most recent back-to-back albums\, Rattle Rattle and Down\, The Dirty Roof\, showcase a series of doomsday-themed songs that incorporate over 60 musicians. He is currently working on a new album\, XALÁ\, set for release in 2017. Tickets: $15 in advance; $20 at the door.

Rocket Rain borrows its title from the second chapter of the Iran-Iraq War\, known in the West as “The War of the Cities”\, which Iranians refer to and remember as موشک باران mooshak-baran: “Rocket Rain.” Initiated by the Iraqi Air Force in 1984\, and quickly retaliated by Iran\, this was a series of systemic air raids over major cities densely populated by civilians. The exhibition juxtaposes the different abstractions of war. Drawing from the most intimate to the most generic imagery\, Rocket Rain provides a lens in which to grapple with the political landscape of the Iranian nation state\, while reflecting on the state of perpetual\, imminent war in the U.S. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/885764681523254/\nhttps://www.h-r.la/event/rocket-rain-موشک-باران/ \n \nListen: \nhttps://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/20161211-181913.m4a URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/post-election-policy-consequences-on-marginalized-communities/ LOCATION:Human Resources LA\, 410 Cottage Home\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012 CATEGORIES:one-time event at HR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/15289334_1445530548807867_3693037035486762547_o.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161221T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20161221T220000 DTSTAMP:20161128T220407Z CREATED:20161128T220407Z LAST-MODIFIED:20161128T220407Z UID:2319-1482348600-1482357600@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Suspended Susto: A La Flor DESCRIPTION:Susupended Susto:A La Flor is a durational performance work focusing on the tumultuous feelings and thoughts of my queer brown body and its relationships to others. This performance is a collection of actions\, sounds\, images and gestures that are influenced by my body’s ancestral traumas and personal experiences with space\, land\, violence and beauty. This piece functions as my reminiscing and manifestation of the feminine in the “male” body and how the queer body\, by its radical nature\, defends and survives amidst a heteronormative hegemony that constantly tries to assimilate it. \nThis work will culminate a years work in the Bay Area for my return back to Los Angeles. \n$5-10 sliding scale (no one turned away for lack of funds) \nAbout Sebastian:\nSebastian Hernandez is an LA native and multi-disciplinary artist whom received his B.A. double majoring in Art Practice and Dance and Performance Studies at the University of California Berkeley in 2016. He makes art that ranges from drawings to paintings and performance art works. Hernandez employs a feminist theoretical analysis\, queer theory\, browness and notions of collectivity as modes of thinking and generating works that shift and complicate Mexican and Chicano narratives in the contemporaneous social imagination. His art making is influenced by an embedded connection to his indigenous Aztec/Mexica heritage and the history of the brown body in relation to the U.S.-Mexico borderland. Sebastian’s movement based practice is informed by his long standing practice of danza Azteca\, Vogue and the more recent wide range of modern dance techniques he’s learned at Cal. Sebastian’s work inherently challenges traditional notions of space as he deals with his work’s interdisciplinary nature within both art and dance contexts.

Known for his collaborative music making\, he has composed and performed extensively as a member of the LA quartet Godzik Pink (5RC/Kill Rock Stars)\, the trio Rats and quartet LA Fog\, in addition to numerous other collaborations and ongoing experiments with solo saxophone. Jonathan runs the shop/studio/art space Character Projects. \nLaura Steenberge is a performer\, composer and researcher living in Los Angeles. Current interests include: songs\, vocal interference\, low frequencies\, nonsense\, tubes\, Byzantine chant\, paper\, aliens\, necromancy\, villains\, harmonicas\, tuning forks\, birds. Current Instruments include: viola da gamba\, contrabass\, piano\, guitar\, harmonica\, voice\, invented instruments. \nJacob Rosenzweig is a bassist/composer/improviser based in Los Angeles who performs in numerous musical capacities. Some projects include: Stupid Man Suit\, Three Thirds\, The Matty Harris Double Septet\, and Music for Bass Quartet. As a solo bass performer Jacob has developed a unique playing style and repertoire\, favoring the idiosyncratic and little known sounds of his instrument\, which can be heard on his 2016 album Janus. \nEric Kiersnowski is a musician and composer known for his unique playing and songwriting in projects including Godzik Pink\, Rats\, his current project Featherwolf\, Upsilon Acrux\, Totally Serious\, and others. On this night he will be performing original works for solo guitar. \nAbout the album: \nRed in the Missile Room is a new album of themes and explorations on solo saxophone by Jonathan Silberman. It is his first solo album\, after releasing recordings since the late 1990s with collaborative projects including Godzik Pink\, Rats\, and LA Fog. \nRed in the Missile Room is comprised of twelve tracks\, each of them performed on tenor or soprano saxophone\, recorded live and without overdubs. The tracks vary in approach\, from lyrical and angular melodies to ‘sound based’ multiphonic thematic improvisations. The common thread is a grounding in the present moment\, bringing together the experiences of performer and listener in an intimate way. \nA critical part of the vision for this album was to release it as a full length Vinyl LP\, as well as a digital release\, and a limited edition vinyl pressing of 520 copies has been made featuring artwork by the artist. The approach to recording was carefully conceived with engineer RJ Russell to capture a broad and colorful dynamic sound spectrum in high fidelity\, and represent the album’s fullest sonic potential. Financed in part with supporter contributions\, the album will be available at the show and also can be found online here: https://jlsrecordings.bandcamp.com/releases \nThis event is co-presented by Character Projects URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/red-in-the-missile-room/ LOCATION:Human Resources LA\, 410 Cottage Home\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012 CATEGORIES:one-time event at HR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/a2413083305_10.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170117T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170117T203000 DTSTAMP:20170114T033026Z CREATED:20170114T033026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170114T033026Z UID:2500-1484685000-1484685000@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Corey Fogel\, Dicky Bahto\, and Tashi Wada DESCRIPTION:Human Resources hosts a new performance by artists Corey Fogel\, Dicky Bahto\, and Tashi Wada. The hour-long structured improvisation will feature generative imagery on multiple slide projectors\, pitched metal percussion\, keyboard\, bagpipe\, electronics\, and sirens. \nCorey Fogel is a drummer and artist currently living in Los Angeles\, CA. His practice is based in spontaneous encounters often involving the intersection of sounds\, objects\, textiles\, foods\, frequently in collaboration with other musicians and artists.

DESCRIPTION:Chess is widely regarded as an intellectual game\, and often used as inspiration in cerebral artworks. This is checkers. \nMonster Romp originated as a short film featuring a game of checkers. Monster Romp Live!\, a performance in three acts\, is an extension of that film. The first is a satire of fascist militaristic displays of power\, self­regulation\, punishment\, and torture. The following act is an improvisational dance by a mercurial creature\, performed by Samantha­Jane Gray. The third act is a violent\, slapstick battle between the last two remaining pieces on the board. \nThe game of checkers is a contest between two oppositional forces divided by superficial difference. In Monster Romp\, checkers embodies the inherent brutality of binary opposition. Two monsters conjoined at the head\, the Twins\, play an unfriendly game\, pitting the checkers against one another. The pressure created by antagonistic relationships erupts into violence between and within both sides. \nLos Angeles based artists BeckandCol use humor and chaos to examine the crisis of human exceptionalism. Through costume based performance and video\, their work explores alternate universes populated with monsters who obsess over humanity and emulate its dominant attributes. Within these universes\, BeckandCol analyze humanity’s construction of sexualized\, racialized and naturalized others. The monsters are at once silly\, playful and exceptionally brutal. Through comical yet violent antics\, their monsters are both mimicking human behaviors and challenging them. \nMade possible in part by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant. \ndoors at 7pm\, performance at 8pm \nsuggested donation $5 URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/monster-romp-live/ LOCATION:CA CATEGORIES:one-time event at HR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/family-photo.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170325T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170325T160000 DTSTAMP:20170323T233220Z CREATED:20170316T184110Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170323T233220Z UID:2558-1490457600-1490457600@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:34\,000 Pillows​ Workshop DESCRIPTION:Since 2007\, US Congress mandated that Immigration & Customs Enforcement maintain a quota of 34\,000 detained immigrants per day in its 250 facilities around the country. \nAs part of the exhibition MAKING PLANS taking place at Human Resources LA (March 18 – March 26)\, artist duo Díaz Lewis will be holding 34\,000 Pillows Workshop. Participants in this free\, hands-on art-making session can join the Los Angeles-based artists in person as they take on the US Congress’s mandate — aiming to create a pillow for each bed. The ever-growing pile of pillows reflects the number of beds required to be filled each night\, translating the mandate in a way mere statistics cannot. The price of each pillow reflects the amount US taxpayers spend to detain one person per day. 100% of the proceeds of each pillow is donated to Human Rights Watch. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS\nDíaz Lewis – the collaborative duo comprised of Alejandro Figueredo Diaz-Perera and Cara Megan Lewis – create art to prompt social change. After the couple met in 2012\, they worked across the divide between Cuba and the US. Now based in Los Angeles\, their practice as artists and activists is fueled by deconstructing social processes and the symbols and politics behind them\, from two distinct and often opposing angles. Recent exhibitions include “Home Land Security” For Site Foundation\, San Francisco (2016); “Soul Asylum” Weinberg Newton Gallery\, Chicago (2016); “A Dream Deferred” Aspect/Ratio\, Chicago (2015); “Cul De Sac” Mission Gallery\, Chicago (2015); and “The Other’s Voice” Rapid Pulse International Performance Art Festival\, Chicago (2014). Díaz Lewis were most recently artists-in-residence at the Chicago Cultural Center through the support of the Joyce Foundation. Díaz Lewis are represented by Aspect/Ratio Gallery\, Chicago. \nin conjunction with the exhibition MAKING PLANS URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/34000-pillows%e2%80%8b-workshop/ LOCATION:Human Resources LA\, 410 Cottage Home\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012 CATEGORIES:one-time event at HR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Profile.00_00_50_43.Still002-1038x576.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170331T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20170331T230000 DTSTAMP:20181026T195342Z CREATED:20170316T222150Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181026T195342Z UID:2560-1490988600-1491001200@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:UNTAMED DESCRIPTION:UNTAMED \nOn March 31st Human Resources LA presents the work of five female artists working in the mediums of dance\, performance\, visual projections and film.
