SUMMARY:Owen Land Screenings (Sat & Sun Evening)
DESCRIPTION:The 16mm films of Owen Land shown chronologically over two days\, with work by LA artists Deirdre O’Dwyer\, Pat O’Neill\, and Margo Victor.

His works fused an intellectual sense of reason with the irreverent wit that distances them from the supposedly ‘boring’ world of avant-garde film. His early materialist works anticipated Structural Film\, the definition of which provoked his rejection of film theory and convention. Having explored the physical qualities of the celluloid strip\, his attention turned to the spectator in a series of ‘literal’ films that question the illusionary nature of cinema through the use of elaborate wordplay and visual ambiguity.” \n\n  \nOwen Land (formerly known as George Landow) was one of the most original American filmmakers of the 1960s and 1970s. His works fused an intellectual sense of reason with the irreverent wit that distances them from the supposedly ‘boring’ world of avant-garde film.

The characters in Land’s films are often the antithesis of those we might expect to see\, such as podgy middle aged men and radical Christians. He sometimes parodies experimental film itself\, by mimicking his contemporaries and mocking the solemn approach of its scholars. Land constructs ‘facades’ of reality\, often directly addressing the viewer using the language of television\, advertising or educational films\, and proposes an alternative logic for a medium that has become over theorised and manipulated. He has exposed the material of film and deconstructed the process and the effect\, while covering the ‘big topics’ of religion\, psychoanalysis\, commerce and pandas making avant-garde movies.

SUMMARY:Putilandia - Rosè Hernandez\, Marcel Alcala\, Sofia Moreno
DESCRIPTION:PUTILANDIA brings together artists Marcel Alcala\, Rosè Hernandez\, and Sofia Moreno for a night of performance and video that thrusts into the realms of culture fucking\, disidentity\, sploshing\,voyeurism\, the great escape. Experience the “value” of art amongst the remnants of post-colonial head butting. (Facebook event page.) \nAlso with Musical Performances\nNEW NATIVE\nSEWAGE \nMarcel Alcala w/ Monica Noonan\n“In and Out There”\nThe performance will be 2 clowns. I’ll be holding a mic and walking in the gallery making note of different situations and talking about the institution. I’ll be posing and the other clown will be holding the camera. Basically a walk in and out. Posing for photos and making a scene. Kinda like the orisia Osain. \nSofia Moreno\n“CyberNymph”\nCyberNymph\, is the first in a trilogy of experimental videos that explores artificial landscapes\, fantasy\, internet pornography and the use of the body as sculpture to create a seductive and mind- altering experience. \n“Kake\, Kake\, Kake”\nBy working with food I examines questions of she-male porn consumption\, fetish\, consumerism and the value of the female TransBody as an artistic medium. Inspired by a variety of sources such as my “Color Studies Series” “Kake\,Kake\,Kake” brings to life works on paper of 2009 and blurs the lines between\, the physical\, art\, fetish and the distinction between those who use food as material and those who use it as simply an aesthetic medium; objects are not only perceived\, but also like or disliked emphasizing the subjectivity of the TransExperience in internet pornography. \nRosè\n“Out of Malkuth”\nLingering on a physical plane\, the artist struggles both with its fragmented body\, hindering absolution\, and the realization that great escape is mere myth. \nMarcel Alcala was born and raised in Santa Ana\, CA to immigrant parents. Came out at 19 in Chicago\, IL where he attended SAIC. Work deals with critical resentment of the Institution and how one can create work that ultimately plays fire with fire. \nJose Hernandez (Ishtar Bukkake/ROSÈ/Celeste) is a Chicago?body based artist. Drawing from elements of dance\, performance\, theater\, music\, and ritual he explores the spaces that border between the body\, fantasy\, queer world making\, and religious practices in search for immanence in a post-millenial landscape. Jose attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago(BFA 2008). Recently he was awarded a Link Up residecy at Links Hall where he presentes a three day ceremony\, Planet X The Nu Fantaztiik. He has presented work in Chicago at Defibrillator Gallery\, Museum of Contemporary Art\, S+S Project\, Sullivan Galleries\, Garbage World\, Happy Dog\, Berlin\, The Hideout\, Aldo Castillo Gallery\, and New Capital. He has also exhibited work at JACK (NYC)\, Oliver Francis Gallery (Dallas)\, Aux Performance Space\, and Little Berlin (Philadelphia).He has performed and collaborated with artists Antibody Corporation\, Ginger Krebs\, La Spacer\, Gel Set\, Eileen Doyle\, and Heather Lynn. Currently he is collaborating with artist Efren Adkins with Burning Orchid a pre-identity post-colonial performative earthwork. \nSofia Moreno was born and raised in Coahuila\, Mexico. In 1994 she immigrated to United States\, where she currently lives and works prior to moving to Chicago Sofia lived in Texas. Sofia Moreno is a mixed media artist and her subjects include expressions of the sacred and profane the body\, sexuality\, religion and socio-political issues within contemporary culture. Moreno is currently working on the follow- up to her five year project P o r n A g a i n. “I’m interested in the essence of the body rather than the form itself. I paint a sexually and spiritually confused youth.” Sofia Moreno.

SUMMARY:Now Open 24 Hours: Audrey Wollen + Cali Thornhill DeWitt
DESCRIPTION:Audrey Wollen + Cali Thornhill DeWitt\nTwenty Four Hour Fantasy Reality\nSFA / WSSF \nOpens 9 August 2014 9pm\nCloses 10 August 2014 9pm \nWhat we wear is often shorthand for who we are\, or who we want to be. \nThe codified manner in which we dress signals positions of power through public and private spheres\, specifically the public notions of meaning and private hierarchal structures of inclusion and exclusion. Fascination with cultural identity is both the means and the end: fashion\, like art\, engages a public desiring insight on culture from seeing itself reflected back on a critical\, yet consumable scale. \nViewed within an art context\, the work of Audrey Wollen and Cali Thornhill DeWitt supports our understanding of the communicative capacity of images and objects to materialize concepts\, fictions\, and narratives — self-constructed and projected — across social spheres. In this exhibition\, both artists have taken the immediately recognizable form of the sweatshirt as a focal point\, to mobilize ideas and references to fashion identities within the larger context of contemporary art. \nThe displayed sweatshirts form a suggestive yet speculative proposition on how to approach the production and reception of contemporary art making. The production of fashion illuminates the production of art today: no longer tied to religious or ideological representation\, art instead is subject to the laws of marketing. Both artists utilize a similarly critical stance toward what they offer to the viewer: a kind of branding that questions its own status and role as much as that of its subjects. Removed from their strict commercial function\, the sweatshirts on view challenge the complex relationship between appropriation and concept\, identity and lifestyle\, class and taste. In this duality of ideological positions\, the distinction between art object and clothing item is intentionally blurred. \nAudrey Wollen’s hoodies appropriate the aesthetics of protest wear\, specifically the Black Bloc tactic\, where a kind of uniformity or neutrality allows the protest group to function as one large\, unified mass in the midst of a storm. This strategy allows a certain anonymity\, which can be useful when risking arrest\, and also creates space\, a coherent system. It is a strategy of negation — oversized and unisex\, improvised as voluntary alienation — and assumes a direct\, oppositional stance not only to traditional institutions\, but toward audiences as well. An aesthetics of action outlines the differences between external representation and self-presentation; from the outside\, the Bloc is regarded as anonymous\, therefore less autonomous\, and more of an artifact\, or even a brand. \nAn understanding of the aesthetic experience of Wollen’s work is one mediated not just by the work’s material presence\, but also through the re-examination of language. One is both able and unable to take in the entire text on these sweatshirts. In order to grasp the sequence\, one has to come in close to the work\, close enough to register the fragmentary details\, losing sight of the lateral whole\, falling back to see how the parts interact. That Wollen’s text at first reads as decorative flourishes makes this process all the more rewarding. Taken from a feminist experimental novel first published in 1969\, the text proposes a space of laughter and destruction\, the fragmentation of language itself enacting the taking apart and pulling together of the revolutionary women. \nCali Thornhill DeWitt’s memorial crewnecks are directly influenced by the sweatshirts worn and shared by Los Angeles gang members of the 1980s and 1990s. Created not only to canonize fallen heroes\, the sweats served to communicate with the wearer’s extended family\, by way of visual cues and coded language. Billboard culture\, neighborhood alliances\, hierarchal friendships\, blood in blood out\, custom fit in one cool package. DeWitt plays with this form\, paying tribute to his own idols. The caveat is that they happen to be everyone else’s idols as well. Spelled out in gothic arcs\, the celebrity personalities and their defining attitudes are forever suspended in death within the atmosphere and environment of Los Angeles at that particular moment. It comes to an end. Yes baby it’s all over now bye bye I’m gone. \nBoth artists complicate ideas of how a community is perceived collectively. Los Angeles is distinctive in that it is built and structured to support a number of individual identities simultaneously: Mall brats\, Executives in soft shouldered Armani\, empty blondes\, surfer bros\, Midwest transplants and the valley kids that never left. All form temporary and informal communities\, trying to fit within the cracks of existing structures. \nWollen’s highly intimate vision imparts us with the possibility of challenging fixed notions of representation. She introduces the idea of the body as a cultural and political archive\, marked by the images\, narratives\, and practices stored within it. DeWitt affirms how these transformative and communicational aspects are fixed\, and remain\, even through death. In a city supported by fiction and fictionalizing\, identity is prized currency\, with celebrity validated through the monetization of private behavior in public spaces. DeWitt deftly folds his own personal idiosyncratic mythologies and identities into those of his subjects.\nThis shared contribution by DeWitt and Wollen lays the groundwork for an aesthetic narrative and language of their own that reference and refer back to one another. While at first glance the works on view appear wholly dissimilar – other than their immediate material qualities – therein lies a tacit understanding between the artists and their audience about the work’s intentions: to make a statement about the art work as an object connecting participants with shared passions\, identifications\, and politics. \nAs the viewer walks into the Los Angeles night\, she stops to consider a corner she has passed many times: the places where people have died\, and the buildings that have yet to fall. \n—Camille Mary Weiner \n  \n  \nCali Thornhill-Dewitt\n \nAudrey Wollen \n    \nPhotos courtesy of David Matthew Wright

SUMMARY:earthmasters
DESCRIPTION:The video of the performance can be found here. \nmusic show event\nFrom: George demoura <georgedemoura@gmail.com>\nDate: Mon\, Apr 14\, 2014 at 7:43 AM\nSubject: HR August 5-8th\nTo: info@humanresourcesla.com \nHi \nI performed at your space a few years ago with the artist Narcissister at a video screening event. I’m going to be in LA in early august and was wondering if you’re interested in doing a music/video event. My project is called EarthMasters\, I’m releasing the new Lucky Dragons record so they would most likely be on the bill if the scheduling works out and I’m going to contact Hive Mind\, John Wiese\, and GX Larsen and some others to see if they’re interested once I have a show confirmed. Hope you’re doing well\, below is a link to my recent LP. Let me know if we can work something out. \nThanks a lot \nhttp://totalrealityinternational.bandcamp.com/ \nHere’s the information for all of the performers. \nGX Jupitter-Larsen (sometimes erroneously spelled Juppiter-Larsen) is an artist\, based in Hollywood\, California\, who has been active in a number of underground art scenes since the late 1970s. Jupitter-Larsen has been involved in punk rock\, mail art\, cassette culture\, the noise music scene\, and zine culture.[1] During the 1990s he was the sound designer for the performances of Mark Pauline’s Survival Research Laboratories. His best known work is as the founder of the noise act The Haters\, who have performed all over the world\, and appear on over 300 CD and record releases. \n \nJoseph Hammer has actively created experimental works since 1980 as a member of the\nLAFMS collective. His practice draws on the complexities of the process of listening and\nplaying\, reflecting on the role of the audience versus the performer\, and uses music as it\ninfluences our notion of time\, memory and intimacy as the basis for improvisation and\nabstraction. In various collaborations\, solo\, and as a founding member of the trio Solid\nEye along with several other projects (Joe & Joe\, Dinosaurs With Horns\, Dimmer\, Points\nof Friction)\, Hammer has performed widely and is an influential contributor to the Los\nAngeles underground scene. \nhttp://laartstream.com/ear-meal/joseph-hammer/ \nEarthMasters is the solo project of George de Moura. Located in Brooklyn NY de Moura utilizes modular synthesis\, viola\, and various media to produce soundscapes intended to alter the psychological condition of the listener. de Moura is best known for his collaborations with the artist Narcissister\, their sound pieces were included in A.L Steiner’s installation in the 2014 Whitney Biennial and have performed during a residency at Envoy Enterprises. \nhttp://totalrealityinternational.bandcamp.com/track/concept-reinforcement \nG.S. Sultan is the computer_music project of Roy Werner. Oriented around sample-based composition\, sound is processed through deconstructive/generative custom software via Max/MSP in an attempt to force spanning source material into connotative and contextual equivalence. His latest release (cassette via Nada) ‘intermediate mv. (demonstration)’ involves collecting musicians’ solo improvisations from YouTube and reprocessing/rearranging them into an imagined ‘orchestra’ of remote performers. He is a member of ‘post-Internet art collective’/record label Brad Grammar and is currently based in New York. \nhttp://gorgeoussuntan.bandcamp.com/

In less than a year the guitar ‘n drums ‘n buzz duo recorded three full length albums and then promptly vanished\, spirited to China and vanishing along the disintegrating edge of east Beijing. \nA year later Alpine Decline resurfaced\, pumping out new albums from the outskirts of the megatropolis. On 2013’s “Night of the Long Knives” and their new album “GO BIG SHADOW CITY\,” we find the band descending from the high altitude visions of their previous records\, walking us gassed out and head numb through chaos and time sickness\, deep into the ruins of ancient alleyways and naked skyscrapers. \nNORTH AMERICA SUMMER 2014 \n8/4 – Los Angeles @ Human Resources\n8/5 – San Francisco @ TBA\n8/6 – Portland @ Habesha Lounge\n8/7 – Olympia @ The Guest House\n8/8 – Missoula @ The VFW\n8/9 – Calgary @ The Local 510\n8/10 – Saskatoon @ Vangelis Tavern\n8/11 – Edmonton @ Wunderbar\n8/13 – Vancouver @ Electric Owl Social Club\n8/15 – Nanaimo @ The Globe\n8/16 – Victoria @ Copper Owl\n8/17 – Seattle @ Mamma’s Cave LoFI Gallery\

She has toured the United States and Europe as a solo performer and is a member of the all women of color artists’ group\, Black Salt Collective. \nwww.jeepneysjeepneys.com\nhttp://blacksaltcollective.tumblr.com

SUMMARY:Alexandro + Mateo Segade: Boy Band Audition
DESCRIPTION:Ace BoiFrenzy\, a pop-music producer/impresario\, and his bodyguard/sidekick\, DJ RainBro\, return from a dystopian future to the contemporary present in order to assemble the perfect boy band – a boy band that will save the future by releasing a single that will unite the world and thwart the coming hegemonic\, monocultural forces. Combining science-fiction\, electronic pop music\, and audience participation\, Boy Band Audition is an interactive performance night of dancing\, singing\, and imagining life after the future is over. Written and directed by Alexandro Segade\, with music by Mateo Segade\, the performance continues the series of queer sci-fi adventures the brothers have presented at REDCAT\, LAXART\, Pieter\, and Concord\, Los Angeles; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts\, San Francisco; UC Riverside ArtsBlock\, Vox Populi\, Philadelphia; and Museo del Barrio\, New York. \nAlexandro Segade’s cross-disciplinary video\, performance\, and visual art explores themes of queer culture\, narrative genre and theatre\, often in collaboration with other artists. Segade is one third of the group My Barbarian\, an artist collective which also includes Jade Gordon and Malik Gaines\, recently included in the 2014 Whitney Biennial. His work has been shown at MOMA\, the New Museum\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, LACMA\, MOCA\, the Hammer Museum\, among many other regional and international venues. In 2011 he received an Art Matters grant for collaborative work with artist Wu Tsang\, and their work together has been shown at the Gwangju Biennial in South Korea\, The Wexner Center for the Arts in Ohio\, the Whitney Museum and Artists’ Space in New York. Segade’s most recent collective project\, Courtesy the Artists\, has presented performances\, videos and drawings at MOMA PS1\, Recess Activities\, the Studio Museum in Harlem\, Performa 13\, and the Kitchen\, NYC. His most recent work\, a participatory performance piece entitled Boy Band Audition is a collaboration with his brother Mateo Segade that has been performed at Judson Church in New York and the Time Based Art Festival in Portland\, Oregon. Segade teaches at Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School of Art\, in the department of Film/Video. \nFormer child-star-turned-street-urchin and DJ to the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay\, Mateo “Strangeweed” Segade recently won the most recent round of the Next Music DJ Competition at the Eagle. Mateo spins regularly at many venues in the SoCAl area\, including the Eagle\, #trade\, and others. \nhttps://youtu.be/vvOqybeCws0

SUMMARY:Krysten Cunningham: Under/Over
DESCRIPTION:KRYSTEN CUNNINGHAM\n“UNDER / OVER”\nJune 5th – June 22nd \nhttps://www.hatchfund.org/project/under_over \nOPENING RECEPTION: Thursday\, June 5th\, 7-10pm \nCunningham will present two large-scale textile sculptures that also serve as performative tableaux’s — “Tapestry X” and “Loom for Minkowski.” “Tapestry X” is a work of hand dyed and woven tapestries that hang in formation from the ceiling.  This work links painting\, digital process\, textiles and architecture in a sensorial manner. “Loom for Minkowski” is a giant powder coated aluminum replica of a toy loom and that will be shown with a spandex textile that was woven for the exhibition. \nThe exhibition is curated by the artist Dawn Kasper. During the exhibition\, the public will have a chance to engage with the art works using cross-disciplinary techniques. Viewers will be encouraged to enter the “Tapestry X” installation and activate the artworks with their presence or by following a set of choreographic instructions\, written by Flora Weigmann. \nThroughout the exhibition the artist links the labor of weaving to scientific discovery and pokes fun at pedagogical models of scientific gadgetry and display. Cunningham’s “Loom for Minkowski\,” the resulting textile and “Tapestry X” become essential and feminine props for conceptually understanding and exploring the ramifications of the “fabric” of space-time and our place within it. \nThe title of the exhibition stems from Cunningham’s ongoing interest in how language and material are intrinsically bound together. “Under/Over” refers to the process of weaving textiles and how the weaver establishes a pattern (over one warp\, under two warps etc.) The title also indicates the fundamental physical relationship of entities in space\, and the power dynamics where we employ such language to describe our relationship to a mean. Being “the underdog\,” flying “over the radar\,” or “over the top” actions are political positions that challenge the status quo. \nWORKSHOP: Saturday\, June 7th\, 2-4pm\n“Coincidences in Space-Time”\nwith Michelle Lai\nrsvp to krystenc@gmail.com\nSpace is limited. \nA free workshop on relativity and the body \nThis playful workshop is based on the idea that not many of us understand Albert Einstein’s Theory of Relativity\, and the curvature of space/time\, despite its profound effect on science and post-modern thinking. \nIn conjunction with the exhibtion “Under/Over” Cunningham and Lai have constructed performative sculptural activities in order to interact with Herman Minkowski’s famous space-time model\, which inspired the exhibition.

SUMMARY:ENTER>TEXT - A LIVING LITERARY JOURNAL
DESCRIPTION:Photos courtesy of Jason Gutierrez and Mark Bernal \nliterary performance happening\ntechnical needs: None – We might find ways to use what’s available but nothing is necessary. \nDirected by Henry Hoke and Marco Di Domenico \nConfirmed to include: Saehee Cho\, Kate Durbin\, Jen Hofer\, Jen Hutton\, Andrea Quaid\, Joseph Mosconi\, Kestrel Leah\, Andrew Choate\, Stacy Elaine\, Jacqueline Suskin\, Sam Cohen\, Dan Hockenson and Diana Arterian and Matias Viegener. More expected. \nWriters who have been involved in the series and may be: \nMark S Bernal\, Lauren Eggert-Crowe\, Claire Cronin\, Noah Gersham\, Ani Raya-Flores\, Brigitte Nicole Grice\, Kenyatta A C Hinkle\, Bryan Hurt\, Douglas Kearney\, Adam Overton\, Ana Reyes\, Kirsty Singer\, Mady Schutzman\, and Mathew Timmons. \nEmail: marcodidomenico@alum.calarts.edu \nEnter>text is a living literary journal\, an immersive series of events where the audience is activated to seek out their own unique encounters with writers. We strive to explore the textual nature of our surroundings\, and are always searching for new voices\, histories and fictions. \nWe created the event at Concord (now closed) as a way to experiment with the reading format and fully utilize both the domestic and gallery space. It became an ongoing series that challenged both the writers and the audience. We encourage our writers to concoct new ways to engage with an audience\, utilizing performance\, participation\, and installation. The event also gives each audience member agency to seek out their own experience. Now\, after two years\, four large-scale events and several more intimate happenings\, we have a solid following and tight knit group of writers both firmly established and emerging\, and we are always looking for new contributors. With Concord now shuttered we are seeking to advance this series and concept. We will be organizing several events over the course of six months and we would like to have the inaugural event at Human Resources. Nearly 40 writers have been invited to participate and we expect between 15-20 writers for the first event. \nIn simplest terms when the event begins writers and their work will be throughout the space. When the audience arrives they are free to explore. Most commonly they will witness a performance\, participate in some way\, or be taken into a private experience on their own or in a small group. Of course things are always changing as we continue to refine this event. Here we speak a lot about what we have done and that is because the content we are receiving from our writers will shape the event.

SUMMARY:LA composers collective
DESCRIPTION:New Strings is a concert dedicated to the exploration of the string quartet in all its facets. Economical but lush\, traditional but often avant-garde\, the string quartet is unique among ensembles in its ability to embody a composer’s vision in distilled form. For this reason\, the string quartet has historically been a proving-ground for composers eager to voice their ideas. In New Strings\, the members of the Los Angeles Composers Collective take on this challenge with the help of the young and brilliant Fiato Quartet\, proving once again that the string quartet can be fresh\, relevant\, and unexpected. \nTaking place at Human Resources LA\, one of the city’s newest performance art spaces in Chinatown\, this concert features new works by Matthew Allen\, Jon Brenner\, Alicia Byer\, Carlos Carlos\, Derek Dobbs\, Gregory Lenczycki\, Max Mueller\, Tu Nguyen\, and Nicholas White. The members of Fiato Quartet are Carrie Kennedy (violin)\, Ina Veli (violin)\, Erik Rynearson (guest violist)\, and Ryan Sweeney (cello). \nThe Fiato Quartet was formed in 2008. The members of Fiato hold degrees in music performance from the Colburn School\, University of Southern California\, Rice University\, Northwestern University\, and the State University of New York at Stony Brook. The musicians of Fiato currently have active concert careers throughout Southern California. They are members of the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra\, Pasadena Symphony\, Long Beach Symphony\, Santa Barbara Symphony\, New West Symphony\, and Musica Angelica Baroque Orchestra. \nFiato has performed on many chamber music series in the Los Angeles area including The Music Guild\, South Pasadena Library’s Restoration Concert Series\, LA Musical Salon\, UCLA’s Henry Bruman Chamber Music Festival\, Live at the Lounge\, Glendale’s Music at Noon\, LA City College’s Music 152\, Pasadena Presbyterian’s Music at Noon\, Huntington Garden’s “Music in the Rose Garden\,” and the Wine and Wheels series. In August of 2012\, Fiato toured Costa Rica as part of the Festival De Musica Credomatic with performances in Guanacaste\, San Jose\, Hacienda Pinilla\, and Villa Caletas. As of 2012\, Fiato Quartet is an official ensemble of the Los Angeles County Arts Commission.

SUMMARY:Screening: VFE with ONE Archives
DESCRIPTION:Admission is free. Suggested $5 donation. \nFounded in 1982 in Washington D.C.\, Video Free Earth was the longtime sister organization of EZTV\, with whom they traded videotapes for screenings and collaborated on various projects. Responding to the political climate of Reagen-era D.C.\, VFE’s early tour-de-force was a trilogy of drag videos that imagined an alcoholic\, manic-depressive Joan Kennedy as the first lady. Other videos experimented with narrative\, often campy\, portraits. Some targets included modernist artist Louise Nevelson\, socialite Gloria Vanderbilt\, a depressive capital worker\, and 80s tabloid sensation Vicki Morgan. This screening\, the first presentation of VFE productions in over twenty years\, looks to rediscover the lost history of queer video exchange between L.A. and D.C. \nPresented in collaboration with Human Resources with support from the George Washington University Special Collections.

SUMMARY:Kate Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Photo courtesy of Kate Hoffman \n \nPhoto courtesy of Kate Hoffman \nEXPOSING THE ARTIST MYTH & TWO TACKY PAINTINGS: \nLA Lesbian Kate Gilbert Goes Back to “Art School” \nChinatown arts venue Human Resources presents “Art School”\, an exhibition by LA-based artist Kate Gilbert \nGilbert originally conceived the idea for “Art School” in a conversation with Human Resources programming committee member\, Oscar Santos\, over tea. \n“Oscar seemed determined that I hold classes during my exhibition. He really indulged me. We talked about esoteric geometry and he was down for that\, but I’m no expert. I dropped out of art school back in the 90s\, but it seemed feasible enough for me to try my hand at being an amateur teacher\, or a makeshift Dean\, or perhaps with prompting\, an art evangelist. Oscar prompted me. It seemed slightly less crazy than proposing I could time travel\, or predict the future\, both of which I’ve attempted. \nPart of what I am offering at HR is something of an artist exposition\, where people can come and observe artists making work in their “natural” habitat. I think it is useful to observe process\, and a number of the artists I have invited to participate\, namely Gregory Barnett and Kate Hoffman\, are working in the gallery for several days as a type of performance. Direct observation\, in my opinion\, is one of the most powerful ways to learn. \nOf course\, it is a tricky thing to render what we do in solitude (‘If a tree falls in a forest…’) and scientifically impossible once we have invited guests. For my own work in the show\, I am challenging my own sense of what it means to be radical and queer\, and furthermore how my identity reads and exists publicly.  I am pushing myself to collaborate more courageously and hopefully taking advantage of the potential of Human Resources as the community arts venue that it is.” \nGilbert will open the exhibition with the performance “Everything I Own Up to Now” in which she uses all of her worldly possessions as a medium. Her closing exhibition\, “Tacky Paintings”\, centers around her attempts at creating two massive glitter paintings on paper for which she received funding from the Center for Cultural Innovation earlier this year. \nSchedule of events as of Monday\, May 12\, 2014: \nMay 15: 6-9pm \nOpening Exhibition and performance: \nKate Gilbert “Everything I Own Up to Now” \nMay 15 – 29: \nHaircuts by appointment \nRafa Esparza \nContact the artist: toltekatl13ollin@yahoo.com \nMay 16: One Archives Screening \nMay 18: Castelar Elementary Fundraiser \nMay 19-22: 10am-6pm \nKate Hoffman “Make It Work” \nMay 19-24: 10am – 6pm \nGregory Barnett “If This Were Any More Camp You Would Need A Tent/ This Is What I Want/ Our Technicolor Dream Dance” \n(Closing performance May 24: 10pm – 3am) \nMay 24-26:\nVeronique d’Entremont “What Trickles Down\, What Accumulates” with Aloni Bonilla\, Cake and Eat It\, Kim McGill\, Amitis Motevalli and “City of Lost Angels” featuring youth from FREE LA High School\, the Youth Justice Coalition and LA County Juvenile Halls \nStencil-making workshop with Amitis Motevalli  May 24: 5pm\nOpening reception  May 24: 5 – 8pm \nMay 25: LA Composer’s Collective \nMay 26: 4-7pm \nMemorial Day Workshop \nKate Gilbert “Throwing Books: Baseball and the Cadavre Exquis (A Slap-dash Course in Animation)” \nContact the artist to register: kategilbert@yahoo.com \nMay 29: 6-9pm \nClosing Exhibition: \nKate Gilbert “Tacky Paintings” \nOther artists/events TBA \n  \nFor further details\, including current events and times\, please visit: \nwww.artschool2014.wordpress.com \nGeneral press enquiries: kategilbert@yahoo.com
