SUMMARY:October\, November and MARCH: How Has the Weather Changed?
DESCRIPTION:October\, November and MARCH: How Has the Weather Changed? \nA Roundtable Discussion on Art & Strategy + MARCH 01 Issue Launch\nSaturday\, December 12 @ 1PM PST/4pm EST/9pm GMT\nThis event is free and online: RSVP\n\n“We are in the period of November\, when revolution seems to be over\, and peripheral struggles have become particular\, localist and almost impossible to communicate. In November\, the former heroes become madmen and die in extra-legal executions somewhere on a dirty roadside and information about it is so diffused with predictable propaganda\, that hardly anyone takes a closer look.” \nIn a scene from Hito Steyerl’s November (2004)\, we hear these words distinguish between the revolutionary days of October and “ours” as the artist is seen participating in a protest against the US and allies’ invasion of Iraq. Yet\, that ‘present’ is now sixteen years old and separated from our present by a pandemic which has caused over 1.5 million deaths worldwide\, global uprisings in defense of Black lives\, massive deportations and barring of asylum seekers\, major housing and student debt crises\, drone assassinations and proxy wars\, oil spills and environmental catastrophes – alongside  ever louder calls for the abolition of the institutions of capitalism: the police\, the prison and the military\, among others.  \nIn its inaugural print edition\, MARCH: a journal of art & strategy occupies the first issue of October (itself a direct reference to the 1917 October Revolution) in order to reopen an inquiry into the relationship between revolutionary practice\, theoretical inquiry and artistic innovation in our time. Through this process we ask: Can publication (the act of making public) be an act of protest (public making)? Can publication be thought of spatially and materially as a consequential conspirator? Incendiary insurrection? What strategies do (and can) we employ? Towards what goals? Can an abolitionist framework be applied to the institution of art? Can we avoid the pitfalls of allegorical thinking? \nThe conversation brings together perspectives from Nora N. Khan\, Serubiri Moses\, Zoé Samudzi\, Andrea Steves\, MARCH founders Sarrita Hunn and James McAnally\, and is moderated by Gelare Khoshgozaran with Human Resources for the occasion of MARCH: a journal of art & strategy’s inaugural print edition.  \n***\nHuman Resources was founded in 2010 by a team of creative individuals who seek to broaden engagement with contemporary and conceptual art\, with an emphasis on performative and underexposed modes of expression. Human Resources is not-for-profit and seeks to foster widespread public appreciation of the performative arts by encouraging maximum community access. Human Resources also serves as a point of convergence for diverse and disparate art communities to engage in conversation and idea-sharing promoting the sustainability of non-traditional art forms. We are a volunteer organization. https://www.h-r.la/ \n  \nMARCH: a journal of art & strategy embraces publishing as an act of protest to address the critical social and political issues of our time. MARCH was founded in 2020 by Sarrita Hunn and James McAnally as an expansion of their previous publication\, Temporary Art Review (2011-2019). MARCH features an annual print edition alongside an active online platform commissioning essays\, interviews\, and experimental critical writing with a global perspective. https://march.international/ \n\nSarrita Hunn is an interdisciplinary artist\, editor\, curator and web developer whose often collaborative practice focuses on the culturally\, socially and politically transformative potential of artist-centered activity. She is the co-founder and editor of MARCH\, a journal of art & strategy; artistic coordinator for Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art; and managing editor of artbrain.org. Additionally\, she is a founding member and co-chair of Liebe Chaos Verein e.V. and founding member of the queer cyberactivist collective Cypher Sex. \n  \nNora N.

Forthcoming this year is The Artificial and the Real\, through Art Metropole. She is currently an editor of Forces of Art: Perspectives From a Changing World\, alongside Serubiri Moses and Carin Kuoni.  \n  \nGelare Khoshgozaran is an undisciplinary artist and writer who\, in 2009 was transplanted from street protests in a city of four seasons to the windowless rooms of the University of Southern California where aesthetics and politics were discussed in endless summers. Gelare is a keyholder at Human Resources. \n  \nJames McAnally is a strategic critic and dependent curator based in St. Louis\, MO. He is the co-founder and editor of MARCH: a journal of art & strategy\, the co-founder and director of The Luminary\, an expansive platform for art\, thought\, and action\, and a founding member of Common Field\, a national network of independent art spaces and organizers.

We enact this statement not only as an acknowledgement\, but as solidarity with the land back movement\, and recognize that our role in the work of collective liberation begins with explicit knowing of where we are at and our roles as settlers in unceded land. Additionally\, since portions of this event will be shared digitally on the internet\, this acknowledgement extends to the physical imperial presence the internet embodies as a cable network binding this planet along colonial trade routes we have come to know as the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade. To borrow a phrase from artist Tabita Rezaire\, “the virtual is real” and “the architecture of violence” is embedded in the technology we may consider decentralized. We invite you to consider these histories with us as we enter in a space together and acknowledge that our materials\, our means of connection and the land we live on are not apolitical actors for our creative pursuits. We also want to thank the Indigenous labor that has guided organizing bodies to create land acknowledgements and have linked our resources for creating this land acknowledgement below. \nhttp://landback.org/manifesto \nhttp://native-land.ca \nDeep Down Tidal (2017) – Tabita Rezaire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V9EIywuH-LM&t=0s \nhttps://www.nyu.edu/about/news-publications/news/2015/june/nicole-starosielski-undersea-cables.html \nhttps://howlround.com/intersection-digital-technology-and-live-performance \nhttps://www.active-cultures.org \n

SUMMARY:Sylvia Wynter's The Big Pride\, (1961.) Film screening by LAND x HRLA
DESCRIPTION:Mrs.Dowling (Nadia Cattouse) and Mallboy Dowling (Johnny Sekka) in The Big Pride\, (1961.) \nHuman Resources Los Angeles in partnership with LAND (Los Angeles Nomadic Division) presents a screening of The Big Pride (1961) the film adaptation of Sylvia Wynter’s play of the concurrent name. \n“Scripted by Guyanese writers Jan Carew and Sylvia Wynter\, The Big Pride is a powerful drama about the quest for freedom. Classically-trained American actor William Marshall and Senegalese-born Johnny Sekka play convicts\, desperate to escape not just the physical bars of the prison cell but also an iniquitous social order that relegates them from birth to the bottom of the heap. However the critique by Dolly Green\, in a virtuoso performance by Trinidadian actor Barbara Assoon\, exposes a third confinement\, ultimately the most devastating of all\, the imprisonment of the mind by bitterness and hatred. In the end for Sutlej and Smallboy Dowling there is no fantasy future. There is only death and surrender.” — British Film Institute \nThe film screening is a part of LAND and LACA’s (Los Angeles Contemporary Archive) course on the work of Sylvia Wynter facilitated by manuel arturo abreu. \nSpecial thanks to Blue for making the film screening possible. \nFor free tickets please RSVP to our Eventbrite here.  \nDoors open at 7:00pm with the film starting promptly at 7:30pm.  \nThe screening will be followed by Q&A between manuel arturo abreu and LAND’s Associate Curator Hugo Cervantes. \nVaccination card is required for entry and attendants are required to wear a mask at all times inside the gallery. \nPlease note this film screening has limited capacity. Be sure to arrive early to ensure entry. \n

SUMMARY:Mascota a film by Nico Garcini & Misael José Oquendo
DESCRIPTION:Human Resources-Los Angeles presents Mascota an experimental film by Nico Garcini and Misael José Oquendo. \nSaturday\, February 19th  \nDoors: 7pm  \nFilm to begin promptly at 7:30pm  \nVaccination card is required for entry and attendants are required to wear a mask at all times inside the gallery. \nPlease note this film screening has limited capacity. Be sure to arrive early to ensure entry. Please RSVP here.  \nThe story of MASCOTA follows a lost pilgrim (PEREGRINA) who finds themselves furloughed in a town full of live action role players. In need of a square meal\, the Pilgrim meets and follows a vagrant LARPer\, RATBOY\, who is fervently obsessed with an entity called the Floon. The townsfolk are not only all participating in a town wide LARP campaign\, but they all appear to be compulsively partaking in a town lottery. The pilgrim comes to find that each individual’s lottery ticket is what allows them to participate in the town’s activities. Without a ticket\, one is ostracized from all establishments and events\, and like Ratboy\, becomes a Mascota\, and townsfolk then consider them to be a subaltern citizen. Mascotas present as half human/half animal figures\, as they have chosen a path whereby they no longer see the difference between their in-game role-play and their out-of-game persona. These mascotas all live together in a ‘monster camp\,’ a harmonious socialist community just outside of town. Here they worship the ways of the Floon\, a deity whose name has its origin in a LARP term that signifies the feeling of exaltation one gets from participating in a campaign. Our protagonist\, after becoming familiar with this shunned community\, begins to notice certain inherent disparities between these two societies. Noticing a sense of superiority among the townsfolk\, the Pilgrim becomes increasingly worried that the ticket holders and the ticketless will inevitably be brought to conflict. \nMASCOTA is an animated experimental fantasy film created through the use of keyframing\, image plating and motion capture A.I. software. MASCOTA’s story and aesthetic draws from a myriad of sources: Live Action Role Playing\, an interactive role-playing game wherein the participants portray characters through physical action and fashion. This heavily inspired the premise of the film wherein every character in the film aside from the protagonist is a ‘LARPer’ engaged in a fantasy campaign. Through the use of animation\, the film is free to explore and engage anachronistically with any setting\, mythology\, fashion and style. The dialogue of the feature merges LARPing terminology and antiquated speech as a diachronic experiment in\nform. Concerning the etymology of MASCOTA\, look to the 19th century French\, mascotte\, meaning a pet or lucky charm\, a concept by which the feature’s auteurs gather certain thematic symbols. The film’s satirical and abstracted reenactment of the christ myth is told through the haze of unrequited love and its heavily tragic consequences. \nNico Garcini  is a Cuban writer\, filmmaker\, musician and visual artist currently based in Tucson\, AZ. He graduated with a BFA in film from Bard College in Annandale-on-Hudson\, NY\, where he studied under Peter Hutton. \nMisael José Oquendo is a Puerto Rican video artist\, curator and writer based in Los Angeles. He recently graduated from the Aesthetics & Politics (2020\, MA) program at the California Institute of the Arts. He also studied film and visual critical studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he graduated with a BFA in 2016. His videos have been exhibited at the Gene Siskel Film Center in Chicago and most recently at the LA Contemporary Archive in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Cube - Pure Shit - Prosperity
DESCRIPTION:Cube is the electronic music project of NY-based artist Adam Keith.  Live\, Cube conjures a whirlwind of strobing light and video to hypnotic effect.  Searing textures and violent rhythms give way to moments of hushed\, eerie beauty.  Musically\, the project touches on industrial\, dub\, drum & bass\, noise\, and more\, but does so with a distinctly personal\, infectious touch – the spirit of a songwriter lurks somewhere underneath. \nKeith also publishes the art & culture magazine Baited Area. \n“Keith’s vocals rattle around the majority of the tracks\, grounding them in some kind of snarling NYC 1982 attitude that’s hard to ignore. But the productions themselves dance around genres with complete freedom\, occasionally sounding like Suicide\, occasionally like Foodman\, occasionally like The Prodigy and occasionally like HTRK… This is jagged\, jolting DIY music that succeeds because it takes bold risks.” – Boomkat \nSeismic drum machine parts partition an album that layers industrial-tipped takes on \ndigi-dub with roaming guitar lines\, piano vignettes\, and breakbeat theatrics.” – Alter \n  \nPure Shit is a punk band based in and around Los Angeles\, but biographies are not important. Revelations and regeneration is what Pure Shit is all about. \n  \nProsperity \nWhich word\, would you use\, \nto describe her defiant grin? \nA look that says: \nthat demon\, \nthat man\, \nwill never steal our joy. \nAnd for us.. \na smile back.. \na long ride home.. \neveryone; a different war. \nUntil a star aligns \nacross our line in the sand\, \ndisappearing in the wind; \nto be drawn again and again. \nAn impression\, \nforever forward\, \nholding our same place. \nProsperity is a project by Michael DeMaio beginning July 2020 in Los Angeles\, California. \n

SUMMARY:BAE BAE: SOUL RECOVERY
DESCRIPTION:BAE BAE (Kumi James) presents SOUL RECOVERY\, a live electronic music and sound performance that investigates how sonic resonance helps to create and strengthen bonds between people and spaces\, allowing us to regain access to our souls in a world that seeks to keep spiritual knowledge at bay. \n\n\n\nThe soundscape will be produced within the walls of Human Resources\, and will function as a spiritual response to the materiality of the gallery space itself. The invitation to guests is to engage in a process of soul recovery through attunement to the sound generated in the space. \n\n\n\nTickets are $10 and available via Withfriends. No one turned away from lack of funds\, but space is limited. \n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to Jacqueline Kiyomi Gork for providing the sound system.

SUMMARY:BEINGS IN PROGRESS
DESCRIPTION:BEINGS IN PROGRESS  \n\n\n\nThis event is a space to share unfinished works without judgment\, for artists seeking a momentary instance of community among strangers. This gathering is intended especially for those who may feel alienated from institutional forms of art critique\, are needing structure and routine in practice\, and those nurturing projects in a vulnerable stage of needing fresh yet compassionate eyes. \n\n\n\nOrganized by six emerging media artists\, Beings in Progress is an effort to grow our art practices beyond traditional paradigms and institutions that are prone to failure in times of crisis. This event is open to anyone who feels called to participate\, and is interested in a communally-shaped creative process. \n\n\n\nCo-facilitator Sagan Yee\, a games artist and organizer from Canada\, will start us off by giving a brief offering of experimental workshop techniques inspired by speculative fiction writers’ circles. We will de-emphasize non-capitalist language (“I’m not sold”\, “I don’t buy it”\, or “I’m not invested”) and focus on the needs of the artist rather than the demands of the critic\, and share work-in-progress in a grassroots\, informal setting without the hierarchical biases of an art school crit session. \n\n\n\nNext\, participants may sign up karaoke-style to take the floor for 5 to 10 minutes. Connect your laptop\, or send us your slides in advance. Share something you’re working on\, or thinking of working on\, or an idea you’ve abandoned but which may hold the seeds of future projects. Feel free to share a finished piece of art\, or a burning research question\, a call to action\, or something else entirely. You may be empowered to ask the group directly for feedback\, or just bask in the collective glow of appreciation and encouragement. Non-presenting observers are welcome! \n\n\n\nFinally\, the room will open for discussion and informal gathering. Light snacks will be provided. \n\n\n\n👉🏽 SIGN UP IN ADVANCE: https://forms.gle/MgQCrAnsNKjiunhj9 \n\n\n\nFacilitators: Sagan Yee and Stamatis Hamouzas \n\n\n\nOrganizers: Chelly Jin\, Rowena Kou\, Sadia Quddus\, Sagan Yee\, Stamatis Hamouzas\, and Xiner Lan
