SUMMARY:EDGE: A Session on Pornography
DESCRIPTION:Event\, 2:30-4:30\, conversation from 3-4pm \nSublevel Magazine invites you to join in Session— a Live Cam conversation with Johanna Fateman\, Lorelei Lee\, and Tiana Reid. Their respective work lies at the intersections of sex-feminism\, labor and pleasure\, the legal dimensions of pornography and prostitution\, politics of representation\, archival research\, and queer potentialities. This conversation will be recorded and published in the upcoming EDGE issue of the magazine. \nEDGE: The Pornography Issue\, will launch in March 2020 and considers what constitutes the pornographic today. How do we conceive of pornography as a material form? An affective register? Where do conversations on the pornographic figure into contemporary gender politics? Edging is a question of mediation between the virtual and the real\, so come cam with us! \nSpeaker Bios: \nJohanna Fateman is a writer\, art critic\, and owner of Seagull salon in New York. She writes art reviews regularly for The New Yorker and 4Columns\, and she is a contributing editor at Artforum. She is a 2019 Creative Capital awardee and currently at work on a novel. \nLorelei Lee is a writer\, sex worker\, and community organizer. She serves on the steering committee of Red Canary Song and is a researcher and policy analyst with Hacking Hustling. \nTiana Reid is a writer\, editor\, and PhD candidate in English and Comparative Literature at Columbia University. Her writing has been published in or on Art in America\, Bookforum\, The Paris Review\, T Magazine\, Vice\, Vulture\, and elsewhere. She is also an editor at The New Inquiry and Pinko. \nAbout the Magazine: \nSublevel Magazine is an online literary magazine devoted to the nexus of literature\, poetry\, art\, criticism\, philosophy\, culture\, and politics. Based in the CalArts MFA Creative Writing Program in the School of Critical Studies—an innovative and interdisciplinary environment dedicated to the experimental impulse in writing and thinking—Sublevel is a literary publication immersed in the world of art without being in service to it. We make no hard distinctions between creative and critical enterprise\, instead celebrating writing of any kind that we find stimulating\, timely\, or otherwise compelling. Each academic calendar year\, we publish eight features comprised of original essays\, interviews\, roundtables\, poetry\, fiction\, and non-fiction works on a theme. We also publish an annual limited-edition print component\, the Sublevel B-sides\, which reflects the content of the online magazine and questions the need for print in the digital era. Sublevel Magazine was founded by Janice Lee and Maggie Nelson in 2017. \nLauren Mackler is its Managing Editor.\nSabrina Tarasoff is its Assistant Managing editor. \nThe editors of the EDGE issue are Rose Sheela\, Allison Smith\, Daniel Spielberger\, Sarah Stockton\, Misael J. Oquendo\, Jayne Pugh\, Sofia Benitez Villanueva.

SUMMARY:Rite Nite
DESCRIPTION:Rite Nite brings together three LA-based artists using solo voices to re-describe ritual. \nAlphabet Of Wrongdoing\nOdeya Nini\nFrancine Thirteen \n\nAlphabet of Wrongdoing is the newest musical project from Snowblink’s Daniela Gesundheit\, exploring ceremonial Jewish prayer songs and blessings that encircle themes of reckoning\, forgiveness\, mortality\, striving\, and atonement\, reimagined for secular audiences and secular spaces. The texts and melodies are traditional and ancient; the context and arrangements are subversive and impressionistic. This performance acts as a communal investigation of gestures of forgiveness—in the words of poet Alan Felsenthal\, an attempt to “restore dignity to experience through music.” \n  \n\nFrancine Thirteen landed from Venus in Dallas\, TX\, where she began her earthly life. She is a proud Libra/Scorpio who creates in a genre/aesthetic she calls ‘Ritual Pop’. Her current project is entitled ‘Psalms for The Queen of Heaven’. Part music and art exhibition\, the work is deeply connected to the concept of the body as both a physical and etheric space; an energy center to conjure many things. Performances of the work include her handwoven textile art worn as jewelry and played as instruments. \n  \n\nOdeya Nini is a Los Angeles based experimental vocalist and contemporary composer. At the locus of her interest is performance practices\, textural harmony\, gesture\, tonal animation\, and the illumination of minute sounds\, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body\, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur. \n@alphabetofwrongdoing\n@thirteenthevenusian\n@OdeyaNini \nadvance tickets available here.

SUMMARY:Feldman and Frey performed by The Koan Quartet with Katie Porter
DESCRIPTION:Performance: 8pm\n$15 at the door (no one turned away for lack of funds)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeldman and Frey performed by The Koan Quartet with Katie Porter\n\n\nJürg Frey; Quintet\, Clarinet and String Quartet\nMorton Feldman; Clarinet and String Quartet\n\n\n\n\nEric KM Clark & Orin Hildestad\, violins\nCassia Streb\, viola\nJennifer Bewerse\, cello\nKatie Porter\, clarinet\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuintet\, Clarinet and String Quartet\nJürg Frey\, b.1953\, Swiss\n\n\n“Silence requires one decision – sound or no sound. Sound requires a great many more decisions. These shape the sound and give it its quality\, feeling and its content. Thus silence\, in its comprehensive\, monolithic presence always stands as one against an infinite number of sounds or sound forms. Both stamp time and space\, in that they come into appearance\, in an existential sense. Together they comprise the entire complexity of life.”\nJürg Frey\, from The Architecture of Silence\n\n\nClarinet and String Quartet\nMorton Feldman\, 1926-1987\, American\n\n\nTowards the latter part of his life\, Feldman became increasingly interested in the patterns of Coptic Rugs as an influence on his music. There is a phenomena in rug making called abrash where there is a natural color variation due to the use of vegetable-based inks made in small batches. Feldman explores his fixation on abrash through the imperfect stillness designed in Clarinet and String Quartet. Patterns and shapes appear and are repeated with minuscule differences in strict\, grid-like scoring. The musicians see slow\, abstract rhythms fit into various stretched durations\, repeated sometimes four to five times. Feldman designs these complex musical patterns to naturally vary from one another to avoid the music sounding “too perfect.” As listeners\, the result is peaceful\, ominous\, introspective\, and unsettling; distant passing storm clouds.

SUMMARY:Lanzamiento en Los Angeles de "Slow Down Fast\, A Toda Raja" por Cecilia Vicuña y Camila Marambio / Book Launch of "Slow Down Fast\, A Toda Raja" by Cecilia Vicuña and Camila Marambio
DESCRIPTION:  \nANNOUNCEMENT: DUE TO UNEXPECTED SICKNESS CECILIA WON’T BE ABLE TO BE THERE ON SATURDAY. \nCAMILA MARAMBIO AND CLARA LOPEZ MENENDEZ WILL HOST THE BOOK LAUNCH AND CHANNEL CECILIA IN A POETIC READING. EVENT STILL ON!! COME!! \nSaturday February 29\, 2020\n7 – 9 pm \nReading will start at 7:30pm\nEnglish and Spanish \nHuman Resources is pleased to present the book launch of “Slow Down Fast\, A Toda Raja.” In this slim publication two indigenous mestizas from Chile\, Camila Marambio\, curator\, and Cecilia Vicuña\, artist-poet\, engage in a translational\, intergenerational dialog on de-colonial\, non-sexist perceptions and experiences in sessions conducted in Santiago\, New York and Melbourne Australia\, where they live. \n“This is a book of the female giggling that terrifies men” \n                                                                               James O’Hern\, poet. \n“We propose to slow down fast\, a toda raja\, before it is too late\, before the nauseating speeding up of (our) destructiveness kills us all. We can perform it daily and slowly awareness that others are be doing it too will come. \nTune into the Raja\, the slit\, the opening\, the tear between your legs—to take its pulse. Slip out of time and slide into the cosmic current. Wiggle loose from the grip of the worldview based on monetary currency and swim the laps of what we really are. \nTo slow down as a symbolic/active gesture is to bring back the notion of paradise on earth. Paraíso (para-iso)\, paradise\, is to stop and lift the soul.” \n¿Qué se construye con un detenimiento y una elevación? \nEl paraíso\n              Adivinanzas\, 1966\nCecilia Vicuña \nWhat place skirts hazard and is worth the gamble? \nParadise\n Riddles\, 1966\nCecilia Vicuña \n                                (Translated by Rosa Alcalá) \n  \nthis event is organized by Clara López Menéndez with the support of Calarts and the Herb Alpert Award \n  \nCecilia Vicuña’s work has addressed ecological destruction\, human rights\, and cultural homogenization\, since her first poems and paintings\, made in Chile during the 1960s. Her performances and installations\, such as the Quipu (created in nature\, streets\, and in museums)\, combine ritual and assemblage elements in a practice that Vicuña calls lo precario (precariousness): transformative acts that bridge art and life\, the ancestral and the avant-garde. Her paintings\, poetry\, and Palabrarmas (prints and collages that create new meanings by decomposing signifiers in words) all propose a free and futuristic vision considered pioneering indigenous decolonization. Her work can be found in the collections of museums such as the Guggenheim and MoMA in New York\, the Tate Modern\, London\, MoMA and the Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Santiago\, Chile. Her first retrospective exhibition\, Veroir el Fracaso Iluminado/Seehearing the Enlightened Failure\, organized by the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam\, the Netherlands\, opened on May 26 th\, 2019. \n  \nCamila Marambio/ Bio according to Goldin+Senneby \nShe is 68% Southern European\, 10% Native American and 0.2% Scandinavian according to 23&me. \nShe was part of a magic circle according to Juan Esteban Varela. \nShe set up a laboratory for making time according to visitors at the IMA in Brisbane. \nShe has developed a method to communicate with beavers according to a peer-reviewed science journal. \nShe has stolen part of an artwork at Moderna museet in Stockholm according to an anonymous source. \nShe flatlined twice according to doctors. But is still alive according to multiple sources. \nShe is developing an ecology of the soul according to Cecilia Vicuña. \nShe is queering cancer according to Nina Lykke. \nShe is a character in the novel Headless according to her own account.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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
