SUMMARY:Anh Vo - Untitled (Break Fast)
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nUntitled (Break Fast) centers around the durational act of squatting above a boiling pot of pho broth. Vo takes as a poetic point of departure the memory of going on a hunger strike as a teenager in order to fight with their mother for the chance to study abroad. Untitled (Break Fast) explores the fetish of individual freedom—how it is pursued through extreme acts of refusal\, denial\, and harm—and of the paradoxical clarity that emerges from confronting one’s own limitations. In each iteration\, Anh Vo stages this ambivalence between freedom and limitation\, hovering between endurance\, self-mutilation\, and collective witnessing. \n\n\n\nBased in Brooklym and Hanoi\, Anh Vo is a Vietnamese choreographer and writer working in the expanded field of performance. Their practice mobilizes the naked body in its variations to make explicit the entanglement of power and apparitional forces that cut across flesh. Their work is situated in the unlikely lineage convergences between Downtown New York experimental performance\, Hanoi performance art\, and Vietnamese folk ritual practices. Vo is indebted to Miguel Gutierrez’s unapologetic queerness and amorphous excess\, Moriah Evan’s speculative commitment to the depth of interiority\, Tehching Hsieh’s existential sense of time\, and Ngoc Dai’s guttural sonic landscape of postwar Vietnam. Their formal training is in Performance Studies\, studying with esteemed theorists and practitioners at Brown University (BA) and New York University (MA) \n\n\n\nPhoto by Albert Yee.

SUMMARY:CAREROTICS: on giving and taking
DESCRIPTION:Panteha Abareshi at Human Resources Los Angeles (HRLA) \n\n\n\nPress Preview: Friday\, October 31\, 2025\, 7–9pmExhibition Opening: November 1\, 2025\, 12–6pm (gallery hours)\, 7–9pm (opening reception) \n\n\n\nGallery Hours: Wednesday–Sunday\, 12–6pm or by appointment \n\n\n\nLOS ANGELES —  Human Resources Los Angeles (HRLA) presents CAREROTICS: on giving and taking\, a solo exhibition by Panteha Abareshi that examines how the disabled body is relegated to the fringes of visibility and yet made into a spectacle\, bringing a complex duality to the nature of disability as performance. For Abareshi\, the absence of autonomy makes room for fetishism to blossom\, as the disabled individual is made into a tool for the able-bodied viewer to use as linguistic metaphor and/or as sexualized fetish object. In their work\, the disabled body becomes a vessel for the taboo corporeal fears and desires of the able-bodied audience.  \n\n\n\nPanteha Abareshi’s artistic practice is rooted in their existence as a chronically ill/disabled body contending with multiple medical illnesses\, at the foundation of which is sickle cell zero beta thalassemia— a genetic blood disorder that causes debilitating pain and bodily deterioration\, both of which increase with age. Their work explores the complexities of living within a body that is highly monitored\, constantly examined\, and made to feel like a specimen\, critically interrogating the sick/disabled body’s place within medical institutions.  \n\n\n\nCAREROTICS: on giving and taking is curated by Jennifer Doyle\, Caroline Ellen Liou\, and Jeanne Vaccaro. Major support for the exhibition is provided by the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts and the English Department at the University of California\, Riverside. We are also grateful to Miguel Barragan and his students at ASU Herberger Institute for Design & the Arts\, and to Alpha Medical Resources. \n\n\n\nExhibition Programs \n\n\n\nExhibition Walkthrough with Panteha Abareshi and Jeanne VaccaroSunday\, November 2\, 2025 | 2–4pm | Human Resources\, Los Angeles (HRLA) \n\n\n\nReading by Panteha Abareshi\, moderated by Johanna HedvaSaturday\, November 8\, 2025 | 7–8:30pm | Human Resources\, Los Angeles (HRLA)Panteha Abareshi shares the intimate\, the hyper-personal\, and the crip-theoretical in this reading of unreleased writing. Beginning with fictive pieces of an autobiographical nature\, the reading will also include the recitation of the poetics featured in the exhibition\, as well as new written work around the pieces presented in CAREROTICS: on giving and taking. Followed by a Q&A with writer\, artist\, and musician Johanna Hedva. \n\n\n\nFetish Material and Pornographic Screening and LectureFriday\, November 14\, 2025 | 7:30–9pm | Whammy! Analog Media\, 2514 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles\, 90026Join us for a screening/sharing of pornographic and fetishistic materials collected and examined by Panteha Abareshi over the course of their research. The artist will lead a lecture-based discussion around the sick/Crip body’s representation in these explicit materials. This program will be an exploration of how the disabled body is made into and used as [sex] object\, and an interrogation of consent\, control\, pleasure and power through a close examination of a slew of porno vids\, fetish pics and kinky JPEGs.  Please note: 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗦𝗙𝗪 & 𝟭𝟴+\, bear in mind that we will be watching and discussing explicit pornographic material\, and some of these may be difficult and challenging to view. This program is first and foremost a safe space of non-judgement\, but also one dedicated to pushing into what is most taboo\, unknown and uncomfortable as a means of expanding how we know\, see and image the sick/Crip subject. \n\n\n\nExhibition Walkthrough with Panteha Abareshi and Ron AtheySunday\, November 16\, 2025 | 2–3pm | Human Resources\, Los Angeles (HRLA)

SUMMARY:Valencia
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: available online and at the door (5-15 suggested donation\, no one turned away for lack of funds). A portion of the night’s proceeds will be donated to Bay Area Workers Support. \n\n\n\nValencia is an experimental feature collaboration of 20 directors each adapting a chapter of Michelle Tea’s award-winning\, underground classic memoir of the same name. The result is a kaleidoscopic vision of San Francisco’s vibrant Mission District in the early 1990s\, before the dot-com apocalypse\, when the neighborhood functioned as a low-rent playground for a generation of punk lesbians who came of age during the birth of the Queer Nation. Valencia documents the rise of a punk lesbian diaspora through the experience of Michelle\, a single rootless twenty-something searching for sex and love\, drugs and adventure.  \n\n\n\nIn person: Clement Greenberg & Michelle Tea\, filmmakers Chris Vargas and Cary Cronenwett\, and the “Michelle” leading actor Lil Miss Hot Mess.  \n\n\n\nCredits and Poster Illustrator Amanda Verwey \n\n\n\nFilmmakers in chapter order: Aubree Bernier-Clarke\, Lares Feliciano\, Clement Goldberg\, Sara St Martin Lynne and Michelle Lawler\, Dia Felix\, Silas Howard\, Alexa Inkeles\, Jerry Lee\, Peter Anthony\, Sharon Barnes\, Cary Cronenwett\, Courtney Trouble\, Cheryl Dunye\, Bug Davidson\, Samuael Topiary\, Olivia Parriott\, Chris Vargas and Greg Youmans\, Joey Soloway \n\n\n\nProduced by Clement Goldberg and Michelle Tea \n\n\n\nAwards:Jury Award For Best Experimental Feature at Polari Film Festival 2013 andJury Award For Best Narrative Feature at Chicago Reeling Film Festival 2013

SUMMARY:Nina Sarnelle: Breath Work
DESCRIPTION:Tickets ($5-15\, no one turned away for lack of funds) \n\n\n\nNina Sarnelle’s Breath Work is an experimental opera exploring breath as a medium for resistance. Part documentary\, part ritual\, it was made collaboratively by community members in Long Beach\, California\, next to one of the largest ports in the world. Shipping infrastructure\, railyards\, freeways and oil refineries provide a backdrop for scenes of solidarity and grief staged by this cast and crew of 13 community members aged 11-65. This project was created in collaboration with Long Beach Forward\, and funded by the California Arts Council.  \n\n\n\nThis screening\, the Los Angeles premier for Breath Work is part of HOWL\, curated by Ashton S. Phillips. HOWL brings together more than a dozen artists and collectives working collaboratively to resist the forces of anti-trans silencing\, intimidation\, and erasure for a 7-day exhibition\, a series of workshops\, discussions\, a howling experimental film premiere\, and a night of defiant performances to help us remember – and amplify – our power. See HOWL’s press release for more information. \n\n\n\nNina Sarnelle (they/them) makes research projects\, participatory performances\, music composition\, video\, and many experiments in pedagogy and collectivity. They facilitate somatic\, improvisational & vocal workshops\, including many with Selwa Sweidan under the collaborative project Touch Praxis. Their work explores conditions of neocolonialism\, environmental injustice and labor exploitation in strange and intimate ways\, often rooted in specific sites like the Port of LA\, a former Nike Missile silo turned into a basketball court\, or the shifting sands of “Silicon Beach.” \n\n\n\nSarnelle was recently awarded a fellowship from the California Arts Council\, a fellowship at Metabolic Studio\, and a NYFA Environmental Arts Grant. In 2020\, they had a solo video exhibition at the New Museum. They hold a BA from Oberlin College and an MFA from Carnegie Mellon University. Their work has been shown at Whitechapel Gallery (London)\, Hammer Museum (LA)\, Getty Center (LA)\, Ballroom Marfa (TX)\, MoMA (NY)\, Istanbul Modern (Turkey)\, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (Berlin)\,  Museum of Art\, Architecture & Technology (Lisbon)\, Fundacion PROA (Buenos Aires)\, Black Cube (Denver)\, Southern Exposure (San Francisco)\, Recess (NY)\, UNSW Galleries (Sydney)\, Project 88 (Mumbai)\, Kevin Space (Vienna)\, Villa Croce Contemporary Art Museum (Genova)\, Mwoods (Beijing)\, Human Resources (LA) and others; and featured in Art Forum\, Frieze\, Art in America\, Huffington Post\, SFMoMA\, Creators Project\, FlashArt and others.

SUMMARY:OPEN STUDIOS: DANCES ON PAPER by Jay Carlon
DESCRIPTION:Performance at 7PM \n\n\n\nLos Angeles choreographer and visual artist Jay Carlon presents Dances on Paper\, a one-night performance and exhibition at Human Resources on Saturday\, September 13\, 2025\, from 6-8PM. \n\n\n\nIn this new body of work\, Carlon turns from the stage to the page\, exploring charcoal\, graphite\, and sweat on expansive 30-foot paper landscapes. With the body as both vessel and instrument\, Carlon transfers movement onto the surface\, capturing the raw traces of dance as gesture\, mark\, and memory. \n\n\n\nRooted in vulnerability\, grief\, and joy\, Dances on Paper flirts with failure\, absorbs the mess of being human\, and wrings it out as visual language. Carlon reflects: “I am foremost a dancer. I approach all my work—on stage\, on screen\, on paper\, in community\, and spiritually—from that lens. This practice is a way to preserve my body\, to create sustainable futures for my creative work\, and to continue searching for what it means to hold\, to reflect\, and to release.” \n\n\n\nThe evening includes a live performance at 7PM\, where Carlon embodies this dialogue between movement and mark-making\, channeling ancestral memory and contemporary presence into work that is both intimate and expansive. \n\n\n\nDances on Paper is presented at Human Resources Los Angeles\, an artist-run space committed to experimentation and dialogue located in Chinatown at 410 Cottage Home St\, Los Angeles\, CA 90012.

SUMMARY:bed crumb show* presents MILFORD GRAVES FULL MANTIS
DESCRIPTION:Milford Graves Full Mantis is the first feature-length portrait of renowned percussionist Milford Graves\, exploring his kaleidoscopic creativity and relentless curiosity. \n\n\n\nTickets (sliding scale/by donation): $5-$15 \n\n\n\nGraves has performed internationally since 1964\, both as a soloist and in ensembles with such legends as Albert Ayler\, Giuseppi Logan and Sonny Sharrock. He is a founding pioneer of avant-garde jazz\, and he remains one of the most influential living figures in the evolution of the form. Graves tells stories of discovery\, struggle and survival\, ruminates on the essence of ‘swing\,’ activates electronic stethoscopes in his basement lab to process the sound of his heart\, and travels to Japan where he performs at a school for children with autism\, igniting the student body into an ecstatic display of spontaneous collective energy. \n\n\n\nOscillating from present to past and weaving intimate glimpses of the artist’s complex cosmology with blistering performances from around the globe\, MILFORD GRAVES FULL MANTIS is cinema full of fluidity\, polyrhythm and intensity\, embodying the essence of Graves’ music itself. \n\n\n\nJoin us September 6th for the full screening + Q&A with Co-Director Neil “Cl0aca” Young \n\n\n\nw/ sounds by Angel-A & Poppagrump  \n\n\n\nNeil Young @cl0aca \n\n\n\nbed crumb show*  @bedcrumbshow \n\n\n\nAngel-A @time2dieurnext \n\n\n\nPoppagrump @boygrump

SUMMARY:Dorian Wood: La nada que te ama
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS: August 27 & August 28 ($15 suggested\, sliding scale) \n\n\n\nDoors: 7PM \n\n\n\nPerformance: 7:30PM – 8:30PM \n\n\n\nLa nada que te ama (Spanish for “The nothing that loves you”) is a channeling of ancestral/transcestral energy via the artist’s voice and body\, interwoven with sounds and imagery that ponder a broken future of/against our making. This ritual-based performance forges a path between sensuality and grief\, inviting those present to consider a radicalism of the self; a divine embracing of lust and solitude. The project premiered at LA Dance Project in April 2024\, as part of the performance series ABUNDANCE\, presented by Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE). Wood will present an expanded version of La nada que te ama at Human Resources. \n\n\n\nDue to projection-based elements\, attendees are kindly asked to arrive early to avoid interruptions.

SUMMARY:Arthur Cooke: Saudade Into Light
DESCRIPTION:Saudade Into Light is an exhibition of Arthur Cooke’s (b.1996-2020) prolific image-making and multidisciplinary photography practice. The presentation of works at Human Resources includes a selection of his artist prints\, self-published books\, video works\, hand sewn clothing and fabric prints. Alongside this impressive archive\, a selection of photographs have been posthumously printed by his family to be shown in the exhibition.  \n\n\n\nBorrowing its name from one of his books on view\, the show’s title Saudade Into Light\, incorporates the Portuguese word “saudade” – a word that is untranslatable in English for its complexity of feeling but references what Cooke writes as “…the love that remains when someone is gone.” In the description of his book with the same name\, which explores family archives\, Cooke continues “…this project consists of images and words based around the realization of ‘a missing\,’ in this case a person\, and the stages of recognizing\, coping and discovering through this sense of a void.” As the family of the artist organizes this exhibition\, the title assumes new meaning – through honoring and curating Cooke’s brilliant body of work\, they are tasked with finding the light within grief. \n\n\n\nAs the title suggests\, Cooke’s practice is steeped in an intuitive poeticism. His photographs read like visual poems\, mixing analogue and digital photography\, then further manipulating the photographs in post-processing\, either through effects or application of text. Through this process of editing and re-editing\, Cooke would confuse the image at every layer\, abstractly interrogating photography as a form. His photographs were often reused in his video and clothing works\, continuously changing the format of the medium he was working in.  \n\n\n\nIn an enduring search for meaning and connection in the digital age\, his work remains steadfast in its intention of capturing and exploring specific feelings through image. This ethereal sensibility characterized his digital practice – applying a combination of layering\, blurring and convoluting qualities to images he had previously taken. Oftentimes\, the original subject is natural\, like a rose\, with the photographic image then transplanted into the digital space\, removed from its logical environment and obscured into a symbol. The work becomes something that transcends its natural place and lives on\, forever changing.  \n\n\n\nBorn in Venice\, California\, Cooke formed his artistic vision at an early age. Cooke began working with images as abstractions at seventeen in class at Venice Arts\, a photography mentorship program for low-income youth. He was then awarded the prestigious National YoungArts Silver Award in photography in 2014. He went on to be accepted to NYU Tisch School of the Arts with the largest scholarship ever given in the Photography & Imaging program. He would graduate from the university in 2018 and moved back to Los Angeles shortly after. At the time of his passing\, he was working on several video and hand sewn clothing works that he was excited to debut once the pandemic ended.  \n\n\n\nHe is remembered by all who have encountered his work for its strikingly singular and evocative vision. Cooke’s images continue to evolve while staying distinctly his; marked by their foregrounding in a deep and complex emotional landscape and his applied alchemical process of transforming feeling into being through imagery.  \n\n\n\nSaudade Into Light is organized by Nicole Cooke\, Elna Cooke and Michael Cooke. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGallery Hours: Thursday to Sunday\, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and by appointment \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, August 9th from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. \n\n\n\nThe Cooke Family would like to thank: Lee Baxter\, Benny & Irina Chan\, Claire Dorfman\, Roni Feinstein\, Kate Kelley\, Rachael Knotz\, Scott Oshima\, Roxanne Reicheg and Issa Sharp. \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, the Cooke Family would like to thank: Arthur’s friends and those close to the family who have supported this exhibition. \n\n\n\nAbout the Cooke’s: \n\n\n\nNicole Cooke is an LA-based artist\, working in performance\, clothing design and soft sculpture. Sewing live with a Singer sewing machine that she’s converted into a musical instrument\, Cooke has previously performed at Murmurs Gallery and Los Angeles Contemporary Archive. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Design | Media Arts at UCLA. \n\n\n\nElna Cooke is an artist\, seamstress and clothing designer from Cleveland\, Ohio. At eighteen she attended the renowned AndersonRanch Arts Center and went on to earn degrees in art studio and fashion design. For almost two decades she taught fashion design at SMC and FIDM and has currently resumed a practice in oil painting. \n\n\n\nMichael Cooke is an accomplished actor\, writer and musician. Born and raised in New York City\, he studied under the greats; jazz piano with the legendary Walter Bishop Jr. and acting with the acclaimed Peggy Feury. Cooke has worked extensively in theater\, television and film – most notably playing Herb in David Lynch’s Mulholland Drive.

SUMMARY:Guillermo Gómez-Peña - Pocha 35: The Last Migration
DESCRIPTION:Pocha 35: The Last Migration\, 2025\n\n\n\nA New Solo Performance by Guillermo Gómez-Peña\n\n\n\nFeaturing a Cameo by Balitronica and surprise guests. \n\n\n\nTickets  \n\n\n\nGómez-Peña’s latest solo performance (from the series the Self Deportation Project) features texts written over the past five years chronicling a turbulent “post-democratic era\,” from the onset of the pandemic to the present day. Now available for bookings across the U.S. and virtually (for classrooms and conferences)\, this piece is urgent\, poetic\, and unapologetically relevant.  \n\n\n\nArtist Statement  \n\n\n\n“My current performance represents the fruit of my life’s work in all its iterations: live performance\, lecturing\, archiving\, literary work\, mentoring\, community activism\, all coming together to address the dangers of the times we live in with its disregard for human life and insidious undermining of democracy.  \n\n\n\nAt this time in my life I am thinking as much about legacy as I am trying to continually produce socially conscious experimental artwork that is simultaneously plugged into the national debates. I have learned from decades of touring performance material to locations beyond the Border that a call to action – in the form of a work of art – has the power to elicit compassion and inculcate a desire for social justice.  \n\n\n\nFor me performance art is a form of radical democracy and citizenship which depends on the presence of the audience/community to succeed. I view my approach to creating this hybrid piece as “performing the archives” for multiple contexts: The art world\, academia\, community and the media. I am particularly interested in connecting with a new generation of audience members who may not have been exposed to the history of my generation\, performance art and the Chicano movement.” \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGuillermo Gómez-Peña is a performance artist\, writer\, activist\, radical pedagogue and artistic director of the performance troupe La Pocha Nostra. Born in Mexico City\, he moved to the US in 1978\, and since 1995\, his three homes have been San Francisco\, Mexico City and the “road”. \n\n\n\nHis performance work and 21 books have contributed to the debates on cultural\, generational\, and gender diversity\, border culture and North-South relations. His artwork has been presented at over one thousand venues across the US\, Canada\, Latin America\, Europe\, Russia\, South Africa and Australia. A MacArthur Fellow\, USA Artists Fellow\, and a Bessie\, Guggenheim\, and American Book Award recipient\, he is a regular contributor to newspapers and magazines in the US\, Mexico\, and Europe and a contributing editor to The Drama Review (NYU-MIT)\, the Venice Performance Art Week Journal\, and emisférica\, the publication of the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics (NYU). Gómez-Peña is currently a Patron for the London-based Live Art Development Agency\, and a Senior Fellow in the Hemispheric Institute of Performance and Politics. \n\n\n\nImage credit: Bird Shaman by Geloy Concepcion\, 2023 at David Ireland’s House\, San Francisco.  \n\n\n\n$14-$20 sliding tickets – notaflof

SUMMARY:Rachel Zaretsky: The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves (replica of a replica)
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Zaretsky: The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves (replica of a replica) \n\n\n\nExhibition Dates: July 18th to August 3rd\, Friday to Sunday\, 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and by appointment (Please email: info@humanresourcesla.com) \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: Friday\, July 18\, 2025 from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.  \n\n\n\nThe Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves (replica of a replica) is an exhibition that explores how public memory is shaped through objects\, rituals\, and acts of commemoration. Featuring new sculpture\, video\, and photography by Rachel Zaretsky\, the exhibition considers how gestures of grief shift when filtered through repetition\, spectacle\, and consumer culture. It traces ephemeral expressions such as balloons at vigils\, pennies tossed into fountains\, or offerings left at war memorials as they become standardized within the American commemorative imaginary. Removed from their original contexts\, these objects reappear as secular sacred symbols: proxies for headstones\, plazas\, and places of mourning. \n\n\n\nAt the center of the exhibition is The Spirit of American Youth Rising from the Waves (replica of a replica)\, a dysfunctional mall fountain anchored by a fragmented plastic figure modeled after the gilded statue at the Americana at Brand mall\, which itself replicates the original bronze monument at the American Cemetery in Normandy\, France. Surrounded by oxidized pennies and mirrored coins\, the sculpture compresses the iconography of monumentality and consumer display into a fractured\, ornamental shell—interrogating how public memory becomes stylized\, copied\, and ultimately hollowed out through cycles of replication and visual consumption. Between a Memory and Record\, a video essay\, traces the bureaucratic afterlife of offerings collected at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. A photographic installation focuses on spontaneous memorials at sites of gun violence\, isolating the recurring image of balloons\, symbols that oscillate between mourning and celebration as circulated through news media. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition investigates how the performativity of mourning\, when mediated through standardized forms and repeated display\, can displace affective experience and transform acts of remembrance into indexable forms of public feeling.  \n\n\n\nExhibition essay by Harris Bauer is available to read here. \n\n\n\nRachel Zaretsky (b. 1993\, Miami) is an artist based in Los Angeles. She received her MFA in Art from the University of Southern California’s Roski School of Art and Design and her BFA in Visual and Critical Studies from the School of Visual Arts in New York.

SUMMARY:Kiyo Gutiérrez with Paul Donald: Un muro que parte el cuerpo en dos
DESCRIPTION:Un muro que parte el cuerpo en dos (A wall that breaks the body in two) is a durationalperformance by Kiyo Gutiérrez\, in collaboration with Paul Donald. This work was first presented by Gutiérrez in 2018 in Guadalajara\, México\, as a response to the Mexican xenophobic reactions toward a Central American Migrant Caravan crossing the country. Today\, a new iteration is reactivated in the U.S.\, where harsh migration policies continue to criminalize movement and dehumanize the displaced. \n\n\n\nRSVP \n\n\n\nIn this piece\, the wall is not static\, it moves and breathes with the body\, resisting fixity. It splitsthe performer in two\, exposing the violence that borders enact on flesh\, memory\, and belonging.The wall is not neutral. It is built and upheld by governments\, white supremacy\, and systems ofpower that decide who is allowed to move\, who is stopped\, and who is erased. \n\n\n\nBut over time\, the performance reveals another truth: walls are porous. They crack\, they shift\,they hold holes. They can crumble. \n\n\n\nThis performance invites us to witness not only the pain of division\, but the quiet\, persistentpossibility of undoing it. It is a gesture meant to honor and celebrate the undocumented\, migrant\,immigrant\, refugee\, and exilee communities\, people who move\, who resist\, and who carry entireworlds with them. \n\n\n\nUn muro que parte el cuerpo en dos es una performance duracional que fue presentada porprimera vez en 2018 en Guadalajara\, México\, como respuesta a las reacciones xenófobasmexicanas ante una caravana de migrantes centroamericanos que cruzaba el país. Hoy\, una nuevaversión se reactiva en Estados Unidos\, donde las duras políticas migratorias continúancriminalizando el movimiento y deshumanizando a las personas desplazadas. \n\n\n\nEn esta pieza\, el muro no es estático: se mueve y respira con el cuerpo\, resistiendo la rigidez.Parte en dos al cuerpo de la performer\, exponiendo la violencia que las fronteras ejercen sobre lacarne\, la memoria y el sentido de pertenencia. El muro no es neutral. Es construido y sostenidopor gobiernos\, la supremacía blanca y sistemas de poder que deciden quién puede moverse\,quién es detenido y quién es borrado. \n\n\n\nPero con el tiempo\, la performance revela otra verdad: los muros son porosos. Se agrietan\, sedesplazan\, contienen huecos. Pueden desmoronarse. \n\n\n\nEsta performance nos invita a presenciar no solo el dolor de la división\, sino la posibilidadsilenciosa y persistente de deshacerla. Es un gesto para honrar y celebrar a las comunidadesmigrantes\, indocumentadas\, refugiadas\, exiliadas y desplazadas: personas que se mueven\, queresisten y que cargan mundos enteros consigo. \n\n\n\nImage caption: Un muro que parte el cuerpo en dos\, durational performance presented at Plaza de la República\, Guadalajara\, México. 2018.

SUMMARY:Abolish ICE ✊🏽 Mercado de Arte
DESCRIPTION:The undoc+ (currently or formerly undocumented) community of Los Angeles is being wrongfully targeted by militarized mass deportations. Today\, many fear leaving their homes to go to work or even get groceries. Countless individuals have gone missing\, families are breaking apart\, and our communities are no longer safe from persecution by the administration of this nation. \n\n\n\nAbolish ICE ✊🏽 Mercado (Market) is the result of the arts community standing in action beyond solidarity with undoc+ communities in Los Angeles. This event brings together artists from Southern California and Northern Baja California to raise funds for undoc+ people in LA. \n\n\n\n100% of the funds generated will be divided equally between CHIRLA (Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights) & Inclusive Action for the City\, to help our community members most in need; from the families of people gone missing\, to the day laborers and street vendors who supply our city with nourishment and joy. \n\n\n\n✊🏽 As long as even one of us is unlawfully targeted\, then nobody is equal under the law. \n\n\n\nHRLA is hosting the first of two events: July 1\, 2025 • 5-10 PM. \n\n\n\nThe second event: August 1\, 2025 at Plaza de la Cultura y Artes (501 N Main St\, Los Angeles\, CA 90012). \n\n\n\nLearn more about ways to get involved at CuratorLove.com/abolish. \n\n\n\nOrganizers • CuratorLove • UNDOC+Collective • Track 16 • LA Tactile Lab

SUMMARY:Safety Blue: An Installation in 5 Acts
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours: Fri – Sat\, 12 – 5 pm \n\n\n\nPerformances: June 27 & 28: 7 pm; June 29: 2 pm (en Español) \n\n\n\nTickets (free\, donation of $15 recommended):  Friday June 27th at 7pm;  Saturday June 28th at 7pm;  Sunday June 29th en español at 2pm. \n\n\n\nSafety Blue is a performative work by artist Andrea Carrillo and choreographer Melissa Herrada which weaves together histories regarding women\, labor\, and oppression in the US-Mexico border. At the heart of the project is an anthropological research archive from the early 1980’s on the life and working conditions of women workers in maquiladoras\, particularly in Tijuana and Ciudad Juarez. Despite its geographical focus\, this work mirrors how—across the global south—women’s bodies have become political territories in dispute\, crossed by colonization. \n\n\n\nSafety Blue is an amalgamation of women’s voices and histories spanning over 40 years\, urging us to rethink and contest how these bodies continue to be shaped by labor\, productivity\, and capital. Through a transdisciplinary approach combining video\, choreography\, and lecture performance\, this project braids intimate and global narratives and brings the body forward. \n\n\n\nThe narrative is set against the history of modern progress\, viewed through the lens of time and industrial production models\, revealing the slow and often invisible violences these women sustain. Each element of the performance and installation tells a story about the relationship between time and labor and the continuous impact it has on the body.  Despite the harsh conditions\, the project is fueled by the recognition and recuperation of collective forms of resistance\, and by the possibility to reorient history and construct new senses of truth. \n\n\n\nThe project was funded in part by Magnum Foundation\, Patronato de Arte Contemporáneo and Fondo Nacional para la Cultura y las Artes.  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSafety Blue es un proyecto performático de la artista Andrea Carrillo y la coreógrafa Melisa Herrada. Entreteje historias en torno a mujeres\, trabajo y opresión en la frontera entre México y Estados Unidos. El corazón del proyecto es un archivo antropológico creado a principios de 1980 que aborda las condiciones laborales y de vida de mujeres obreras en la maquila\, particularmente en Tijuana y Ciudad Juárez. A pesar de su enfoque geográfico\, este trabajo refleja cómo\, a lo largo del sur global\, los cuerpos de las mujeres se han convertido en territorios políticos en disputa\, atravesados por la colonización. \n\n\n\nSafety Blue es una amalgama de voces e historias de mujeres obreras que abarcan más de 40 años\, invitándonos a repensar y cuestionar cómo el trabajo\, la productividad y el capital moldean sus cuerpos. Mediante un enfoque transdisciplinario que combina video\, coreografía y conferencia performática\, este proyecto entrelaza narrativas íntimas y globales que pone al cuerpo como primer territorio en disputa y como espacio de enunciacióny memoria.  \n\n\n\nLa narrativa se desarrolla alrededor de la historia del progreso moderno\, vista a través del tiempo y modelos productivos\, revelando las violencias lentas e invisibilizadas que sostienen estas mujeres. Cada espacio\, cada objeto y cada cuerpo cuenta una historia sobre la relación entre el tiempo y el trabajo\, así como el impacto continuo sobre el cuerpo. A pesar de las duras condiciones\, el proyecto busca también\, reconocer y recuperarlas acciones colectivas de resistencia que permitan reorientar la historia y generen nuevos imaginarios. \n\n\n\nEl proyecto ha sido apoyado por Magnum Foundation\, Patronato de Arte Contemporáneo y Sistema de Apoyos a la Creación y Proyectos Culturales.

SUMMARY:LA TIME | Matt Savitsky exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Reception: Friday\, June 13\, 5-7pm (Note: HRLA is in the curfew zone\, quite close to the perimeter; curfew starts at 8pm.) \n\n\n\nPerformance: Friday\, June 20\, 7-8pm \n\n\n\nGallery Hours: Wed-Sun 12-6pm & by appointment \n\n\n\nLA TIME uses live performance and video to reveal the space between headlines and lived experience.  \n\n\n\nBy using physical copies of the LA Times front pages\, stripped of images and held up to the Los Angeles landscape\, artist Matt Savitsky creates “picture windows” through which performers intervene in familiar public spaces. Here\, the news becomes a frame for queer expression\, with gestures that range from subtle (such as crossing a construction site) to bold (like stretching 200 feet of red fabric along a line of palm trees on a hilltop). \n\n\n\nStarted in 2021\, the project was developed in response to a lack of public space in contemporary life to grieve the atrocities carried out against our communities and locales. This work holds very special significance as it marks a return to public space after the pandemic and charts Savitsky’s reconnection to his community through performance work. This first staging at Human Resources will feature three of the project’s seven video works. \n\n\n\nThis project was funded by the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Grants to Artist Award\, New York\, 2022.

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.

SUMMARY:Emily Barasch: Intimacy for the Apocalypse
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, May 10 @ 8pm + Sunday\, May 11 @ 2pmTickets are $20; click here to purchase \n\n\n\nIn Intimacy for the Apocalypse\, an unstable structure made of rope\, slime\, wooden levers\, buckets\, and streamers shifts over time as four dancers and a sound composer develop emergent\, co-constituted logics to find stability and support within their material conditions. As the performers engage in gestural looping\, tuning scores\, and task-based scenarios\, they develop new relational practices for embodied logics of survival. Intimacy for the Apocalypse investigates how bodies and environments can be reoriented out of collapse\, giving way to intra- dependent speculative futures. It stages a world where bodies refuse categorization\, shifting between discipline and defiance\, chaos and clarity\, desire and tension. \n\n\n\nChoreographed by Emily Barasch in collaboration with Julianna Johnston and performersPerformers: Emily Barasch\, Kate Ladenheim\, Arushi Singh\, William Ruíz MoralesSet and Design: Julianna JohnstonLighting Design: Emily WittSound Design and Live Composition: Jesse Perlstein \n\n\n\nThis project was supported\, in part\, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.

SUMMARY:BUL
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception and book launch: Saturday\, March 29\, 6 – 9pmClosing performance: Wednesday\, April 9\, 7:30pm  \n\n\n\nBUL is a multi-media installation of Christine Yerie Lee’s experimental rock opera BUL (2023) and its newly completed sequel SWAN SONG (2025). This ongoing project is inspired by both the Korean folktale of the Bulgasari\, an iron-eating monster who liberates the oppressed by devouring the weapons of the corrupt\, and the North Korean film Pulgasari (1985)\, a Godzilla-esque work that was directed by South Korean Shin Sang-Ok while being held captive by North Korean leader Kim Jong Il. BUL reimagines the ancient monster and forms an untimely meditation on ancestry\, kinship\, and what the future owes the past. \n\n\n\nWritten in five acts\, BUL (2023) reimagines the monster as an orphan named BUL who finds herself in the throes of love in the City of Angels. Through pastiches of 20th century cultural forms such as the pop song\, black box theater\, and music videos\, BUL shapeshifts through different dimensions to survive the changing times. The project includes personal memoir\, collaborative scores\, choreography inspired by communist political gestures\, and an original soundtrack. Lyrics were crowdsourced from Lee’s community then stitched into a collective sonic love history by LA-based band muff. \n\n\n\nWhile BUL is built upon the harmonic melodies and lyricism of pop songs\, SWAN SONG gear-shifts into dissonance and glitches as modality. Conceived as an instrumental opera and visualized as a silent film\, SWAN SONG depicts an intergenerational encounter between a now world-weary BUL and her estranged human great-great-great-granddaughter\, CY at the Salton Sea in Imperial County\, California. Their transmission is expressed in a “monster language” composed of ancient and contemporary instrumentation and movement choreography. BUL’s voice is expressed through the saenghwang\, an ancient Korean free reed mouth organ said to echo a phoenix’s cry\, while CY is voiced by the harmonica\, an instrument that descends from the saenghwang. The soundscape merges the Korean folk tradition of pansori (musical storytelling) and the American blues\, and evokes an imaginative ancestral lineage and dialogue between past\, present and future. \n\n\n\nThe final act features five performers enacting shifting poetics of relations by using the languages of synchronized animal movements (starling murmurations\, ant death circles\, locust swarms)\, pop culture (the wave\, line dancing)\, traditional Korean dance\, and also choreography that references and abstracts geopolitical borders between the U.S.\, Russia\, China\, North Korea\, and South Korea. If BUL focuses on the ecstasies and tragedies of the relationship between self and other\, SWAN SONG complicates the desire to belong to something greater than oneself by asking: Where do the self and the collective body begin and end? Who defines a border? How do we become borderless? \n\n\n\nThe opening reception will also host the book launch of BUL (2025) published with FRIEND EDITIONS (New York). The exhibition closes with the open-mic event “Bulgasari LA” with permission from original event founder Lee Han-joo. Bulgasari events began in Seoul in 2003 and are an ongoing showcase of experimental music\, avant-garde art collaborations\, and improvisational performances. \n\n\n\nThe project was funded in part by the College Art Association’s Visual Arts Fellowship\, multiple grants from the California Institute of the Arts\, and the Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant. BUL is organized by Ajani Brannum.
