SUMMARY:other others // rehearsals in the skin
DESCRIPTION:Touch Praxis presents other others // rehearsals in the skin\, a four-day exhibition and programming series held May 2–5\, 2025 at Human Resources Los Angeles. This programming offers a collision of fleshy proximities\, felt theory (Dian Million\, 2009) and porous encounters. other others // rehearsals in the skin brings together artists\, practitioners\, and facilitators to explore how we relate\, connect\, and feel—together. \n\n\n\nImagining curation as a process of community building\, this layered project threads conversations across bodies\, decades and continents\, bringing into contact over 40 (old and new) collaborators. other others considers anti-colonial forms of touch as a method for collectively dreaming Disability justice\, ecological repair\, Palestinian liberation\, and queer futurity. \n\n\n\nRooted in an intersectional feminist “we” (Sara Ahmed\, 2018)\, other others asks: What does it mean to be in ethical contact with one another? How do we move through physical intimacies while navigating the systemic power structures that shape every encounter? \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features tactile\, sculpture\, audio\, interactive and digital works by Genevieve Belleveau\, Lauren Bon\, Vanessa Hernández Cruz\, Nat Decker\, Anne Juren\, Ericka Lopez\, Siphiwe Mbonambi\, Liz Nurenberg\, Ashton Phillips\, Teddy Pozo\, Jaklin Romine\, Laura Stinger and Touch Praxis. \n\n\n\nTouch-based performances will be held on Sunday\, May 4th from 4–6pm\, followed by an evening reception from 7–9pm. These personalized experiences are administered by a 5-person touch ensemble (Serene Bloin\, Jessica Hemingway\, Rashaida Hill\, Rachel Ho\, Nina Sarnelle\, and Selwa Sweidan). Sessions are limited and participants must sign up for a time slot in advance. Each participant will negotiate their interactions and level of contact with the ensemble; this work exists only in your body. \n\n\n\nScreening programs feature works by Basma Alsharif\, Genevieve Belleveau\, mayfield brooks\, Linda Franke\, Mona Hatoum\, Petra Kuppers\, Ericka Lopez\, Emilija Škarnulytė\, Maryam Tafakory\, Ryat Yezbick\, and Rima Yamazaki. \n\n\n\nA zine created for the exhibition collects haptic works by Rebecca Bruno\, Gabrielle Civil\, Megan May Daalder\, Alix Eynaudi\, Tala Khanmalek\, Petra Kuppers\, Courtney Mackedanz\, Kristin McWharter\, Postal Service for the Dead\, heidi andrea restrepo rhodes\, Hannah Rubin\, Cassie Thornton and Kim Upstill and Hana van der Kolk. \n\n\n\nA Palestine solidarity event featuring meital yaniv\, Basma Alsharif\, Mona Hatoum and For Your Viewing Pleasure raises funds for mutual aid in Gaza. \n\n\n\nTouch Praxis is a collective research project led by Selwa Sweidan and Nina Sarnelle exploring touch as a time-based medium and form of co-creative knowledge. The exhibition also includes videos from their archive of embodied interviews with Zena Bibler\, Vanessa Hernández Cruz\, Maeve Devine\, Jessica Hemingway\, Khalia Frazier\, Odeya Nini\, Tyby Reddy\, Jaklin Romine\, Tyra Wigg\, and Kim Ye. \n\n\n\nThe full program of screenings\, readings\, and performances are listed below. \n\n\n\nSCHEDULE OF EVENTS \n\n\n\nFriday May 2Gallery Open 12:00 – 7:00 pm \n\n\n\nSaturday May 3Gallery Open 12:00 – 6:00pmSkin of the Film (screening program) 6:00 – 8:00 pm [event link] \n\n\n\nSunday May 4Gallery Open 12:00 – 3:00 pmIndividual Touch Performances (rsvp required) 4:00 – 6:00 pm [signup link]Reception 7:00 – 9:00 pm \n\n\n\nMonday May 5Gallery Open 12:00 – 7:00 pmSkin Thickens // Touching a Free Palestine (fundraiser) 7:00 – 9:00 pm [event link] \n\n\n\nTuesday May 6Gallery Open by appointment \n\n\n\nFor more information reach out to touchpraxis [at] gmail.com

SUMMARY:Aggregate: a performance by Linda Franke
DESCRIPTION:Performance by Linda Franke with Laura Stinger and Matthew McGaugheyTickets\, $8 (via WithFriends)A score for anarchistic behavior in public space.Featuring proportions of a soft mobile rock\, a cold sliding fence and spinning a fountain.Voices falling in and out of sync with colors.Moving something from one place to another.Pushing things that can´t be moved.Sliding and rolling the static.You have to be quick to find your new position in the composition.When the music stops you have to find a place to sit.Moving something suggests purpose.This thing is now over here. Where it should be?Being in and out of sync with machines that tell us what to do. Being in sync with people\, objects\, and immaterial things.Movement and voice are usually in sync."In sync" means being in a state where two or more people or things are working together at the same time and speed or are in agreement with each other. It can refer to actions\, ideas\, or even sounds that match well together. In between what is real and what is fake?How do we operate in the realm of half-real?We like that the prop appears real but is not.We want to indulge in imitation.Testing if our imagination is strong enough to overright the facts of reality.I am interested in special effects that reveal their mechanismsand so lose part of their magic but never completely.The expectation of the illusion and the revelation of nothing new. Again.Ideas of the performance as a spectacle where something is going to happen.Is something happening even when we just push something?I something happening when we don´t know what´s happening?Can dimensions function as an emotional map?How do the dimensions of objects in public space influence how I feel in my body and what possibilities I see for myself in this space?Dimensions express rules and establish territories.You look small next to this rock.The traffic light is three times the size of your belly.How do we read what performances the object in front of us suggestand what happens if we do something else?The idea of the fence is to block and protect.Could it be tender and playful instead\, with no job?The idea of a rock is that it's heavy and static\, maybe some of them roll.A human can only go around or over but never push it out of the way.The fountain is a place for rest and leisure\, it has an almost romantic atmosphere we don´t need it but we love it when it's around.Linda Franke was born in Dresden\, East Germany and is based in Los Angeles since 2017. Her work engages with the constants of human life by staging situations in which our daily routines are being transformed into absurd Tableaux Vivants. Found materials\, elaborately produced props\, 3D animations\, text collages and soundtracks\, create a cinematographic set that serves as the environment for her performers and the resulting video. Franke is a Graduate of Universität der Künste Berlin\, DE\, Chelsea School of Art and Design London\, UK and Academy of Media Arts Cologne\, DE. Besides Residencies at Sacatar Brazil\, BR\, CCA Glasgow\, UK or Impact Utrecht\, NL her work has been shown at Georg Kolbe Museum\, Berlin\, DE; Goethe Institut Montreal\, CA; Schaulager Barbara Thumm in Berlin\, DE; W139\, Amsterdam\, NL; Simultanhalle Cologne\, DE; Art Cologne\, DE; Film Festival\, Sao Paulo\, BR; Galapagos Art Space\, New York\, US; Moscow International Film Festival\, RUS; Soma Mexico City & Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Monterrey\, MEX and Mars Gallery \,PAM\, Navel\, Femmebit Festival\, Neon Museum and the Box Gallery in Los Angeles.
