SUMMARY:Cake And Eat It: Strike Halls
DESCRIPTION:Opening Night & Reception\, September 18th \nWith performance/discussion by Cake and Eat It at 8:00pm \nClosing September 30th\, till late \nGallery Hours: Wednesday–Sunday\, 1pm – 9pm \nCake and Eat It will spend as much time in the gallery as possible. For additional hours\, please see updates here\, event details and on the exhibition’s Facebook page. Feel free to reach out to the artists at info [ at ] cakeandeatit [ dot ] org. \n. . . . . \nCake and Eat It will be installing Strike Halls\, a composite of sculpture\, text\, performance and organizing strategies for the duration of their residency at Human Resources. The work investigates the possibility of strike in a cultural of precarity and domination\, as well as proto-solutions towards the creation of a communitarian exchange of social capital. Elements have been painstakingly derived from C&EI’s over decade long engagement with\, sometimes artistic\, sometimes anarchist\, attempts to collectivize commercial\, domestic and public space. \n. . . . . \nCake and Eat It (a collaboration between Kate Kershenstein and Ada Tinnell) creates works that deal with the underbelly and sometimes intersection of gift economy\, fashion\, anarchism\, queer identities and radical unionism. Historically\, C&EI has thrown fashion shows in dingy dinge holes\, hosted anarchist variety shows and salons (yum yum)\, given away cursed gifts\, staged riotous fashion marches\, styled defendants for court\, ran a year long free boutique and orchestrated an experimental tribute to Jean Genet. Their most recent line of inquiry is an investigation into the cultural scripts that pervade radical political forms- the manifesto\, the union\, the strike hall\, the picket and the strike itself. Questioning the utilitarian veneer of politics\, the project seeks instead to elaborate fem methods and aesthetics that better mediate between affective bonds and bonds of political solidarity. Project iterations have so far included a series of temporary strike halls dispersed throughout Los Angeles\, a series of zines on the matter and Opera Operaismo: A May Day Opera-As-Flying-Picket. \nOPENING RECEPTION \nSeptember 18th at 8pm  \nWith performance/discussion by Cake and Eat It \n  \nRED PARTY \nCop Watch Benefit/ Cool World \nSeptember 20th \nRed carpet. Pursed lips. Velvet ropes. Flickering neon. Under red banners. Red dress. Parting curtains. Come decked out in your best red rags and join us for an evening of performance and dancing in collaboration with Cool World. The Red Party is a benefit raising funds in support of the Cop Watch LA app currently in development for tracking and disseminating information about police brutality.  Please turn that cherry out. \nPublic Wardrobe \nSeptember 23rd \nBring clothing to swap or share and help build a conversation and a language around collective style that rethinks the way we dress and the meaning of our outfits. We’re looking to challenge the idea that militancy must reflect the hyper-masculine cisheteropatriarchy. We ask that fems\, hard fems\, lazy fems\, high fems and anyone who finds strength in their feminine energy\, join us as we use clothing to create a radical fem space. \nArt\, Education & Justice! \nSeptember 25th\, 7-10pm \nA social event for artists\, faculty\, students\, and allies. Join our ongoing conversation to help create a better future for higher education! Music\, spiked punch\, and special guests.  \nNatural Girl: a T-girl Night \nSeptember 26th \nA night of lounge\, performance art and dancing centered on trans women and those that love trans women. Presented in collaboration with Emily Lucid\, Zackary Drucker\, Roxy Wood and Lee Samantha Faelnar Te. \nLook At These Fucking Artists #2 \nSeptember 28th \nThe art world often trades in exclusion\, and it’s easy to feel talked at\, rather than in dialogue. Honestly\, a space is very much needed where art workers can discuss the issues and problematics of contemporary art practices in person\, where everyone’s voices are heard. Continuing on the conversations broached at the first LATFA\, held at the 2012 Anarchist Bookfair\, discussion will include: art world exclusion\, careerism\, racism\, gentrification\, pandering\, elitism\, labor exploitation\, complicity with colonialist regimes and generally how and if art can be used to dismantle the police state and capitalism. This will be a relaxed afternoon of intimate conversations on key questions chosen by participants for their urgency\, timeliness and passion. In hopes of reducing immaterial labor in the prep for these talks\, instead of formal presentations\, the emphasis will be on vibrant\, healthy\, non-oppressive dialogue and snacks. \n. . . . . \nOurs is a society built not on what you know\, but who you know\, given that\, social capital might really be the capital. That particular currency of social influence that keeps the cogs of society well lubricated\, determining the pecking order\, has often been the sole purview of the economic elite. In other words\, maintaining closed networks of social caché sure helps keep out the riff-raff. \nCurious then that cultural/artistic production\, often the work of the somehow marginalized\, is perhaps the most potent generator of social capital. Cultural work provides sites of intellectual exchange\, sociality\, conviviality\, and not to mention all those precious\, precious objects -prime grounds for social speculation. \nWe are alienated\, woefully so. More so than ever.  They don’t call it a police state for nothing. I don’t know you and you don’t know me. All that alienated exchange\, all those blank moments\, empty eyes. Spaces chock-full of Purina and Fanta\, but no space for you/me/us. Mediated to death. We maintenance it\, we work at it\, we work in it\, we reproduce it\, we live for it\, we hardly recall how to do anything else. Conditioned just so. \nAnd we keep making art. Art magic. Bending time and space. Those beautiful illusions. We make make make make make make make make make make make make make make make make make. \nWhat are we making? Who is it for? What if we didn’t do it? What if we refused? Our hearts might stop beating? The making maybe being the only thing that makes it all worth it. \nIf we’ve got that time\, that excess\, to create\, if we’ve got that heartbreak that’s going to pour out into something\, somehow\, anyway\, if we’ve got that impulse\, if we’ve got that need\, if we somehow\, one way or another are going to make that work\, make that thing… \nIt shouldn’t be for them. Not anymore. \nWe can’t just endlessly make sparkling commodities of dazzling authenticity.  We can’t just simply speak truth to power\, ceaselessly resuscitating a fatiguing revolutionary rhetoric. We can’t continue to participate in simulacra of avant-garde linearism that’s been long since dead. We can’t continue to pace endlessly through a series of circuitous gestures pondering the mire of post-modern chimera. Perhaps we ought to believe in something more undefined\, applying it all towards that irreducible limit called utopia. All this activity\, this expression\, couldn’t it all be a function of x\, as x approaches infinity? Creating a calculus of social capital\, a refusal to accept the boundedness of our relationships\, our lives? \n. . . . . \nSurfacing. Collectively coming up from the battle gray to see if we can find much of anything to share. \nLet’s resurrect the Strike Hall. Though maybe let’s not just make a historical reenactment? Let’s not make replicas of those hallowed halls of rest\, reproductive labor\, and revolutionary staging that buoyed worker’s rights struggles of the thirties\, the sixties\, even occasionally today (see UFW\, IWW\, ILGWU for examples). \nInstead\, let’s make a Strike Hall for all\, for today\, for tomorrow\, to share in our struggle\, whatever the struggle. Let it be a place for making something\, or not making anything. Let it be a place where we ask ourselves who we are\, how are we relating\, if we are relating\, what we actually want? Let it be a place where we have a look at utopia\, at all the attempts at collectivizing\, the attempts to flee\, the attempts to make it out of this police-state-capitalism-whatever-the-origin-awfulness. \nAnd let’s take a nap together\, watch something shiny we can ignore while we tickle each other\, giggle at four-syllable jargon and maybe catch eyes with someone for one beat longer than necessary.  Call me comrade\, maybe?  Let it be a break room for the break that never ends.

SUMMARY:Cake And Eat It: Strike Halls: Natural Girl: A T-Girl Night
DESCRIPTION:NATURAL GIRL is a new ongoing dance night and lounge showcasing natural t-girl beauty\, grace\, brilliance and creativity. A safe space for trans women to flirt and mingle with sexy hunks and total babes all the while breaking down the barriers between the woman of the future and her modern lover. \nLounge Acts by:\nDiana Vanderbilt\nLANI\nEmily Lucid\nDJ’s yungTRANS and rawru \n“And we are the heart of excess. An excess that burns cities to the ground. And a drowning excess. An ocean of excess. Silent\, non human\, awkwardly terrifying\, uninvited excess. \n“And excess can be sabotage\, a stiletto thrown in the gears. Our fem is too soft and too hard for this police state. But we know women’s freedom was never given. And all feminism has always been a trans feminism. And as they took it then\, we take it now. \n“Because excess can be a body in common. A raging commons that rushes over the plains taking everything with it\, a seething communism. And excesses of time\, a gilded excess of degeneration\, saying please give us this day\, our daily bread. Please give us this day\, our daily bread. Wandering through a forest of communisms with utopia on the tips of our tongue and solidarity in our shallow breaths. \n“And I am the daughter of lightning\, you cannot move me at all. And we are of the earth. And we are nature herself.”

SUMMARY:Warren Neidich: NSA-USA Sound as Prophecy (Complete Unabridged Version)
DESCRIPTION:NSA-USA: Sound as Prophecy is an elaboration and embellishment of an installation and performance work already performed at the Emily Harvey Foundation in New York City\, 2013\, REDCAT\, Roy and Edna Disney/Cal Arts Theater in Los Angeles\, 2014 and as part of the Manifesta Parallel Program\, St. Petersburg\, 2014. It takes as its point of departure the recent scandal arising from the secret surveillance activities of the National Security Agency’s upon private citizens and politicians in the United States and abroad. This artwork focuses upon the culpability of the whistleblower Edward Snowden.  Is he a villain or a hero and how will history treat him?  Additionally\, can improvisational recitals translate streams of information about the event\, which in this case has been elaborated as graphic scores\, to better help us discover alternative truths about the conspiracy in an unbiased and novel way? Is this a form of empowerment that artists should embrace?  \nThis performance is in four acts… It is accompanied by an installation of graphic scores on display that involves the entire architectural space of Human Resources. Of special interest is a play by play running account of the action on stage occurring simultaneously with multiple real time Go Pro projections in synch with shifting gazes of the performers as they read the scores.   \nPerformers include: \nUlrich Krieger\nRosemarie Hertlein\nJoshua Carro\nKevin Robinson\nAshiq Khondker\nChiara Giovando\nDavid Schafer\nRenee Petropoulos \nCurated by Isabelle le Normand \nIsabelle Le Normand is an independent curator based in Los Angeles. For six years\, she was director of Visual Arts and curator at Mains d’Œuvres\, a multidisciplinary space in the north of Paris where she curated over 30 exhibitions. She has also curated independently in Paris\, Los Angeles\, Bourges\, Budapest\, and Marseille. \nWarren Neidich is a Los Angeles based wet conceptual artist and theorist who exposes the interfaces between socially engaged cultural production and its interrelationship to the brain and cognitive capitalism to produce an Emancipatory Materialism.  His interdisciplinary anarchic experimental works combine photographic and video elements\, Internet downloads\, scotch tape\, painting and noise installations. Future exhibitions include Seconds\, Sharjah Foundation\, Saudia Arabia\, The Cartography of the Mind’s Eye\, Barbara Seiler Gallery\, Zurich\, and The Phylogenesis of Generosity\, Flora Arts Natura\, Bogota.  His book The Psychopathologies of Cognitive Capitalism Part Two was recently published by Archive Press\, Berlin\, Germany. His collection of essays Resistance is Fertile will be published in German  by Merve Verlag\, in the fall of 2014.

SUMMARY:Online Sexual Harassment Prevention Training
DESCRIPTION:A PUBLIC PERFORMANCE OF COMPLIANCE by Jennifer Doyle  1PM \nPublic employees working in California must complete a training program designed to educate them about sex/gender anti-discrimination law. The University of California uses an on-line platform. The user is walked through potentially harassing scenarios\, and given a set of multiple choice questions exploring the employee’s responsibility to the situation — e.g. “What should you do?” “Who do you tell?” At the end of each section\, the user is then introduced the those aspects of the law which govern institutional responses to that situation. Many of these scenarios are grounded in actual cases. \nEmployees at the University of California complete these training programs every year\, ususally at home\, alone. This is a particularly alienating experience for those in the university community who have been failed or betrayed by campus processes. \nJennifer Doyle\, a Professor of English at the University of California\, Riverside\, will perform her training at HRLA\, and in public. Doyle is writing Campus Sex/Campus Security\, a short book exploring police violence and the discourse of rape on the college campus. Like many senior feminist faculty\, she also has an unfortune expertise in the issues described by the university’s online sexual harassment prevention trainingprogram. \nPeople who attend will get a rapid education in how the system thinks about its obligations to Federal anti-discrimination law. (The training can be very helpful!) We will\, as we move through the program\, pause to talk about the law behind this process\, and also the singling out of sex (rather than race) as an object of instruction. This question is particularly interesting as the foundation for this adminsitrative ritual is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act. Students who are subjected to sex/gender harassment are “covered” by Title IX of the Higher Education Act; but employees are covered by Title VII\, which bans discrimination in employment on the basis of “race\, color\, religion\, sex and national origin.” What makes sex so special? \nUniversity employees who have yet to complete their on-line training are welcome to bring own laptops and complete their obligation in community. \n\n\n\n(PICTURED)\nJuly 2\, 1964: President Lyndon Johnson signs the Civil Rights Act\, which made sex and race discrimination illegal. The Civil Rights Act originated as anti-racist legislation; a racial segregationist amended the act\, hoping that by adding sex to its scope\, he would derail its passing—or at the very least\, divide the government’s attention (and minimize the fight against systemic racism).

SUMMARY:Benefit: Save Music in Chinatown
DESCRIPTION:TICKETING \n$12 in advance or $15 dollars at the door. Advance ticket purchasers can buy a $16 package with 8 raffle tickets (saving $4). \nAdvance ticket sales end at midnight on Saturday\, October 18. If we do not sell out\, there will be tickets at the door. \nTHE SHOW \nThis is the fourth in a series of fundraising concerts organized to pay for music education at Castelar Elementary School. Established in 1882 and sitting right in the middle of Chinatown\, the inner-city campus serves mostly immigrant kids who don’t get much exposure to performing arts or creative outlets. \nChinatown has an unbeatable musical past (mostly punk) and rad art scene in the present (post punk). Neither crowd has had very much to do with the residents in Chinatown but we’re trying to create a bridge for both to help out the local kids. \nThe bill channels Chinatown’s past and present\, punk and art\, raw and refined: \n• Bob Forrest from Thelonious Monster and The Bicycle Thief returns after playing a solo set at the inaugural Save Music in Chinatown benefit\, this time with a very special guest.\n• Evil Hearted You is a brand-new\, L.A. punk-filtered roots band featuring Louie Perez III\, Ben Solis\, and Lars Stalfors or Eric Fuller. They were hand-chosen to play X’s Make the Music Go Bang! festival and this will be their second show ever.\n• My Revenge features Hector Penalosa from the legendary punk band from Chula Vista\, The Zeros\, a.k.a. “The Mexican Ramones.” This is Hector’s second Save Music in Chinatown show after playing with The Baja Bugs in the second installment.\n• DJ services will be provided by Cyrano and Special Agent Lotus from KXLU’s Molotov Cocktail Hour. \nThat’s a lot of entertainment value for 12 lousy bucks (and maybe some raffle tickets). \nTHE RAFFLE \nIn addition to donating for admission\, guests will be able to donate money toward raffle tickets for a chance to score prizes. $1 = 1 ticket. So far\, contributions from supporters include: \n• Unwound print from Ben Clark/Wide Angle Sounds\n• Our Vinyl Weighs a Ton DVD signed by Peanut Butter Wolf\n• Grammy Awards Poster (Signed by MANY artists)\n• Signed goodies from Susie Ghahremani\n• Print signed by Sean Chao\n• Chinese American Museum/L.A. Heat program signed by Michael Hsiung\n• Adventure Time/Poketo wallet signed by Martin Cendreda\n• Gift certificate from Scoops\n• Gift certificate from Pho 87 \nCheck this site regularly for additions as the show draws nearer. \nSET TIMES \nTentatively…\n3:00 Doors\, DJ set by Cyrano and Secret Agent Lotus from KXLU’s Molotov Cocktail Hour\n3:30 My Revenge\n4:15 Evil Hearted You\n5:00 Bob Forrest with Special Guest \nMusic between bands provided by Cyrano and Secret Agent Lotus. \nPARKING \nThere is free parking on the streets (try going north on Broadway) and $4 parking at Mandarin Plaza (across Broadway\, slightly south). \nMISC. \nAll ticket proceeds minus surcharges will be donated directly to FACES (Friends and Alumni of Castelar Elementary School\, a registered nonprofit organization) to be applied specifically to the music education program.

SUMMARY:LICENSE 2 DRAW WORLD TOUR IN ONE PLACE - LOS ANGELES IN YOKOHAMA
DESCRIPTION:LICENSE 2 DRAW – WORLD TOUR in ONE PLACE – LOS ANGELES IN YOKOHAMA\n*please note this event will take place upstairs during the Barbara Streisand Portrait Bender. All are welcome. \nFor the first time in Los Angeles\, our creative community can become participating creators. You can participate directly in an international exhibition by creating and drawing on a surface that is thousands of kilometers away. This event is organized by Human Resources Los Angeles (HRLA) \, Koganecho Bazaar and the artist UuDam Tran Nguyen. \nLicense 2 Draw is an innovative interactive artwork drawn by the public on a global scale\, 24/7\, using IOS and Android app to physically move a pen in YOKOHAMA \nEach time a License 2 Draw app user presses a button on his/her smartphone\, it sends a signal to a server in Singapore and the server will direct the signal to the drawing car in Yokohama\, Japan.  This makes it move forward\, backward\, left or right; basically\, drawing what the user wants. \nAnyone from anywhere can draw in Yokohama from where they are. They can be physically in Africa\, Europe\, Americas or Antarctica and they can still draw in Yokohama via wifi and the License 2 DRAW app. In order to emphasize the global scale and the instantaneous concept of the work\, the artist UuDam Tran Nguyen entitled this project as: WORLD TOUR in ONE PLACE – YOKOHAMA. \nLICENSE 2 DRAW project breaks down the division between sole proprietorship and the public. The public does not usually take an active role in making an international exhibition. However\, in this occasion\, the public can make and direct changes in the work even from the comforts of their own homes. It is a world-collective-creative effort. Without physically being in Japan\, a person can use the License 2 Draw app to control and move a drawing car on a blank canvas in Yokohama at any time of the day. \nStatement from the Artist UuDam Tran Nguyen: \n” I would like to propose this project as a parody of the US deployment of drone technology in war making.  It is a parody that challenges and gestures towards an alternative: instead of the US imperial reach\, it’s participation by people in diverse locales whose history has some entanglements with US imperialism (which is to say everyone). For example: Vietnam\, Japan and Thailand all have this entanglement with US military presence (Japan in WWII\, and now as chief ally of US in the pacific; and Thailand as R&R space for US soldiers in the VN War\, etc).  This way\, rather than being targets of US drones\, they are in control of the joystick\, reversing their fortunes\, at least in a social imaginary.  \nHOW TO PARTICIPATE: \nLicense 2 Draw app (L2D) is now available on Apple iTunes and Google Play stores. As you are reading this article\, this License 2 Draw project is currently on display at the Koganecho Bazaar\, an international exhibition in Yokohama until the 3rd of November. You can participate NOW. This exciting drawing project is ON for 24 hours a day\, 7 days a week for the duration of the exhibition of 3 months. It only takes a few seconds to install License 2 Draw app on your phone. \nIn order to see what is being drawn in real time via Skype\, participants from any part of the world can just add: License2Draw to their Skype account and use Skype to video call License2Draw. Through a 24/7 Skype webcam in Yokohama\, one can see the drawing car moving in Yokohama in real time. \nTo participate in this exciting WORLD TOUR IN ONE PLACE – YOKOHAMA\, please complete these 5 simple steps:\n1. Install License 2 Draw on your Iphone\, Ipad or Android devices\n2. Open the License 2 Draw app\, select Yokohama 4\n3. Click on LOST to sign in with       User: abc          Password: 123123\n4. To view your actions in real time\, add License2Draw to your Skype account. Then video call License2Draw \n5. Start drawing by using the Forward Backward arrows and Left and Right turn symbols on your phone\, and see it moving in real time on your Skype screen. \n The link below contains the video instructions and an overview of the exhibit’s installation and 3 sculptures: \nhttps://vimeo.com/103691467

SUMMARY:.NTER
DESCRIPTION:.NTER \n(a performance by GOD DOLL / Isaac Ledesma) \nart must be perfect. life has to make mistakes. evolution favors mutations. \nIn this work titled “.NTER”\, I hope to reexamine what it means to be irl. Using a 3D modeled universe I will project in the theater\, I will synthesize the experience of traveling to another dimension. The whole expanse of the gallery will be immersed in this world that I have had created and I will be its lone inhabitant.  In the veneer of this projection\, I will weave a golden thread between our realities by dance and sound and vibe. I am a digital aura and my body lives on the internet. Enter the drag queen. \nFriday October 24th ($5 donation)\nOpening reception/ Install day\n8pm-12am \nSaturday October 25th and Sunday 26th ($25 admission)\n.NTER :\nSalon: 9pm-10pm\nPerformance: 10pm-11pm \nManifesto: \n1.\n    always in perfect balance- “I am” is the absence of binaries\, the blurring of boundaries.\neverything is taken in in its entirety. \n2.\n      Everything I think\, everything I say\, everything I do is alien. I’m living in a world that is not meant for being alive. \n3a.\n      I had to upload my personality onto the net-\nI was created to perform\,\nI was created to create\, I was created to destroy. \n3b.\n       I am you and you are me. We weave the golden thread. This and that are this and that. The only real magic is you. \n4.\n       The body is a hindrance. The mind is an afterthought. The soul is a full body scar. \n5.\n      This is the fifth dimension: The simulacrum is the means\, singularity is the end. Nothing can\nbe proven to be real. \n6.\n     This is the twelfth dimension: and you are God. \n                             *\n I work mainly through movement\, restraint and physical expression. I paint emotions and impressions on mental canvases. As a performance artist in the internet age\, I prefer to take stage within the digital world. I wish to exist as a computer simulation. I am a cyberdrag Queen who exists on the Web. I use HD technology to achieve the illusion of being the glamorous deity living inside me. Like a hologram I’m pretty and always new because I’m never really there. \nI like art to be critical\, serious\, and permanent. Towers rise and fall\, societies crumble\, people die. But not art. Real art changes your DNA. Real art changes the world. Unfortunately\, the art that we know is violent and it is stupid and its name is war. It is at war with humanity\, it is against all that is good and all that is natural\, and it must be stopped. My message is of peace; of understanding; of communication; and\, most importantly\, of love! Through my art I gently tackle my enemies (i.e. ignorance and fear) in an attempt to instill change on our collective consciousness. I use gender and sexuality as my costume and as a platform to perform a play on the fragility that is man. \nI believe the internet is a metaphor for the future psychic link we will all share. Once we are all telepathic\, we will have no need for disagreements and conflict. By definition\, we will be in paradise. Utopia. Heaven on earth. I know that we are on a dying planet and I’m all for space exploration but i think we need to make sure we are presentable before we party with the rest of the universe. I want to further this prediction through my art and through my way of life. My intuition is guiding me towards an enlightenment of which I know nothing about until after I attain it. \nAbout the artist:\nIsaac is a performance artist born and raised in Echo Park\, Los Angeles. More commonly recognized for his foray as creative director of the seminal performance art and music showcase “Mustache Mondays” under the pseudonym: God Doll. He works under the discipline of drag to achieve a character who is subversive to the institutions holding back both gay and straight culture at large. Coming from an extensive background in visual and performing arts in his youth\, he culled his experiences on the streets and nightclubs of Hollywood and downtown Los Angeles to serve him in perfecting his artistic voice. All the while employing elements of digital technology\, psychic phenomena\, and psychedelia.

SUMMARY:Day of the Dead w/ Rubber O Cement\, Pulsating Cyst\, Suffering Luna\, Bandito Overlord hosted by Experimental Half Hour
DESCRIPTION:Imagine if you were in a world occupied by aliens and monsters. Where travel through space and time is mingled with one’s perception of reality. This is a world where as many things as possible are going on at once. Where the knobs on the cathode ray tube are being cranked by a diesel-powered monster truck. Where electronic machines are driven by zombie truck drivers in a race that has no finish line. \nJoin us for a live taping of experimental music and video curated by Obfuscated Records in collaboration with Experimental Half-Hour. The video of the performance can be found here. \nWith performances by:\nRubber (O) Cement (SF)\nPulsating Cyst\nSuffering Luna\nBandito Overlord \nMC Host Adam Barnhardt\nDJ Igor Amokian \nThere will be a raffle.\nGuests wearing costumes will get free raffle tix at the door. \nThis event curated by Adrian from Obfuscated Records is more Romeroesque than the traditional Day of the Dead celebration. The four acts do have much in common besides the ruckus they create on stage.

SUMMARY:VOLUME presents Frank Bretschneider: Sinn + Form (Meaning + Form)
DESCRIPTION:Sinn + Form (Meaning + Form) \nThe project is based on the idea of a fundamentally chaotic world\, as we know from mathematical or physical theories and models (dynamical systems\, probability theory\, stochastic systems)\, and the constant attempt of man to recognize this world\, and to describe\, predict\, control\, and change it. Typical examples include mathematical finance\, statistics\, biostatistics\, pattern recognition\, or meteorology. \nMusically\, this system is simulated electronically using a modular synthesizer system. Various modules produce a constant flow of randomly generated data that modulate the decisive musical parameters (pitch\, note length\, volume\, tone). The musician / composer is attempting\, through an improvised but deliberate process of constant control and influence\, to transform this stream of events into a musically relevant system of chaos and order\, dynamics and statics\, content and form. \nThe visual performance is carried out through a software -generated correlation meter (goniometer)\, analogous to the Lissajous figure on an oscilloscope . \nAesthetically\, the project should recall the electronic music of the mid-20th century: studios such as the IRCAM in Paris\, the EMS Elektronmusikstudion\, Stockholm\, the WDR Studio for Electronic Music in Cologne\, or the Columbia-Princeton Electronic Music Center in New York\, as well as be reminiscent of the aesthetics of early attempts to visualize music using oscilloscopes. \nThe music was recorded with analog synthesizer systems (Buchla and Serge) at the EMS Elektronmusikstudion in Stockholm. \nFrank Bretschneider is a musician\, composer and video artist in Berlin. His work is known for precise sound placement\, complex\, interwoven rhythm structures and its minimal\, flowing approach. Bretschneider’s subtle and detailed music is echoed by his visuals: perfect translated realizations of the qualities found in music within visual phenomena. \nBretschneider (1956) was raised in Karl-Marx-Stadt (Chemnitz since 1990)\, where his aesthetic developed as he listened to pirate radio and smuggled Beastie Boys tapes in the former East Germany. After studying fine arts and inspired by science fiction radio plays and films he began experimenting with tape machines\, synthesizers\, and modified guitars in 1984\, as well as exploring the possibilities of exchange between visual art and music by various means such as film\, video and computer graphics.\nIn 1986\, after establishing his cassette label klangFarBe\, Bretschneider founded AG Geige\, a successful and influential East German underground band. Though limited to the East before the wall came down\, they were invited to perform across Germany and internationally after 1989 and released three albums before splitting in 1993.\nIn 1995\, Bretschneider and fellow AG Geige member Olaf Bender founded the Rastermusic record label which eventually merged with Carsten Nicolai’s noton to form raster-noton in 1999. \nVirons is the project of experimental sound and visual artist Nicholas Rossi. Working in Los Angeles\, performances often display the act of sonic exploration through static movement. The surrounding environment is unique to the progression of long form\, and prepared improvisational techniques. Performance elements include the granular process of field recordings\, magnetic tape manipulation\, and evolving architecture of concrète sounds by means of modern synthesis.

SUMMARY:Carmen Argote - My Father's Side of Home
DESCRIPTION:HRLA is proud to present My Father’s Side of Home\, an installation project by Carmen Argote.\n\n\nCarmen Argote “Manta” (2014) (image courtesy of the artist) \n \n\nPreview: Nov 14\, 12-6\n\nOpening: Nov 15 7PM-10PM\n\nSchedule: Nov 16-22 12PM-7:30PM\, with nightly film screenings beginning at 6PM\n\nClosing Event: THE 16 HOUR EXPERIENCE November 22th 7PM – November 23rd 11AM\n\n \n\n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nCarmen Argote “Mantas” (2014) Material: Acrylic on Muslin\, graphite. Dimensions: each Manta is approximatly 17′ x 18′(image courtesy of the artist) \n“I covered the walls and floor of the room I was staying in at Mansion Magnolia with muslin fabric. Muslin fabric being a material that moves through economic classes in Mexico\, artisanal and working class. I traced everything that was touching the walls and floor. I painted the fabric and it shrank. The shrinkage revealed to me that the work was about being derived from something but no longer fitting it\, it visually captured my father’s experience of wanting to return to Mexico\, doing so\, and no longer fitting in. The work also resembled his early architectural in-plan drawings. For the exhibition My father’s side of Home\, I showed the muslin fabrics as they were\, forming the room space that they were made in. In Los Angeles\, this action is one that looks back upon my father’s experience. His architectural in-plan drawings\, in reverse.” \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nCarmen Argote “Pool” (2014) (images courtesy the artist) \n“This work shows the pool that my father would point to when\, as a child\, I would say that I wanted a pool. My father would respond with\, “there’s a pool waiting for you in Guadalajara.” The idea of another life\, another me\, living out daily rituals with different surroundings has continued to linger with me. The longing my father felt to return to the Guadalajara he left\, became my longing to also be there\, and here\, simultaneously. The frame that holds the pool reminded me of the neoclassical architecture that I would see in our family owned events venue Mansion Magnolia. Both Mansion Magnolia and the Condominio Oxford lot were the places I remember going to while we would visit Guadalajara.” \nWith MY FATHER’S SIDE OF HOME\, Carmen Argote shares one result of her process of inhabiting Mansion Magnolia\, a neoclassical style mansion built in the early 1900’s that belongs to her family in Guadalajara\, Mexico. Argote explores personal history though architecture\, using the act of inhabiting as process to investigate both the influence of the spaces that house us and how these spaces shape our notion of home and place. The artist uses memory\, touch and intimate histories to explore and understand her own immigrant experience\, the experiences of her father\, her family\, and the experience of the everyday shaped under the constant influence of architecture and history.\n\n \n\nThe installation project is itself inhabited by MY HOME ELECTRICAL a suite of programs curated by Lorena Peña Brita. MY HOME ELECTRICAL attempts to both create a deeper understanding and connection to the exhibition through dialogue and by creating tools for haptic perception that compliment and extend the work through empathy and shared personal histories. MY HOME ELECTRICAL invites the viewers to become participants\, working along with the artist and curator to explore the intersections between their own personal history and the structures that house them. Through these activities\, we hope to help develop your own awareness between body and structure and between your physical body and the spaces that you mentally inhabit. MY HOME ELECTRICAL includes a nightly program of films that fosters dialogue between the themes inherent in My Father’s side of Home but also opens potential pathways and/or wounds for new growth and development. These films create and explore small traumas between/within architectural spaces\, the urban environment\, the immigrant experience\, our everyday rituals\,  and between the voyeuristic nature of the other and ourselves.\n\n \n\nFilm Screenings:\n\n\n\nMONDAY 11/17 Arturo Ripstein\, LA TIA ALEJANDRA (1 hr. 27 minutes\, 1979) Spanish/no subtitles.\n\nFor a family with three children\, the trauma begins with the arrival of the husband’s elderly aunt into their home. The aunt\, a women with a haunting aura and unpredictable humor\, who increasingly secludes herself for extended periods of solitude within the family’s home\, becomes the suspect of the family’s recent stream of misfortunes.\n\n\nTUESDAY 11/18  George Melly\, THE SECRET LIFE OF EDWARD JAMES (55 minutes\, 1975)\n\nGeorge Melly’s 1975 documentary charts James’ eccentric life from his early days at West Dean in West Sussex to his lifelong friendships with Salvador Dali\, René Magritte and Leonora Carrington\, and finally to Xilitla\, his adopted home for the last forty years of his life.\n\n\nWEDNESDAY 11/19 MY FATHER\, THE GENIUS (84 minutes\, 2002)  Lucia Small\n\nWhen Glen Howard Small bequeaths his daughter the task of writing his biography\, she answers with a film about his precarious career and thorny private life. At 31\, Small\, founder of internationally acclaimed Southern California Institute of Architecture\, was a rising star. At 61\, he can barely pay his bills. The artist explores the tension between her father’s obligations to family and his life-long passion to “save the world” through architecture.\n\nTHURSDAY 11/20 KOOLHAAS HOUSELIFE (58 mins 2008) Ila Bêka & Louise Lemoine\n\nFRIDAY 11/21 HOME MOVIES from Mansión Mangolia.\n\nSATURDAY 11/22 Mining MoMA’s Documentary Archive: Communication and propaganda films for electronics\, from 1915.\n\n \n\nSATURDAY 11/22 THE 16 HOUR EXPERIENCE — Folding Structures\, Storytelling\, Tarot Readings\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nCarmen Argote “16 Hour Experience” (images courtesy the artist) \n\nHRLA opens its doors for an all-night experience which invites the public to join the artist in a range of hands-on activities\, storytelling\, card readings\, and a prolonged collective inhabiting of the gallery after-hours. Once started\, the doors will shut and participants will commit to a long duration interaction between each other as a collective and develop through time a new understanding of the space\, each other\, and the work through the act of collective inhabiting. This intimate art experience is a rare opportunity to realize the fantasy of staying inside after the place closes. For more information about this sleepover\, email: info@humanresourcesla.com.\n\n \n\nFolding Structures\n\nArgote’s installation My Father’s Side of Home is an exercise in folding and unfolding the architectural layout of the spaces we inhabit. Argote works with manta\, a staple fabric with a rich tradition and ubiquitous presence in everyday Mexico. Argote’s Mantas are themselves drawings in plan that fold and unfold both physically and mentally. Folding Structures invites participants to collaborate with the artist in the folding\, ironing\, and pleating of fabric. Through the action of measuring\, planning\, and constructing cardboard structures that fold the fabric\, participants explore both through touch and through context architectural drawing\, sculpture and the process of ritual. Through the use of these folding structures\, participants are invited into an almost ritualistic experience that hopefully creates connections to memory through repetition and labor\, folding and unfolding ideas and possibilities and creating structures conducive to memory and shared histories.\n\n \n\nStorytelling\n\nParticipants are invited to share stories of their father’s side of home. Stories and memories will resurface as we experience long stretches of time together. If architecture is never idle and its effect is a constant\, then our prolonged exposure to the white cube will cause many stories to resurface and emerge in our shared inhabitance.\n\n \n\nTarot Readings\n\nDuring the tarot card reading\, the gallery and the work within it become a space to commune with psychic energy and for the  experimentation and access to our collective supernatural energy. Through an intuitive tarot card reading\, participants will be invited to narrate their own interpretation of the cards to fellow participants\, drawing on their own personal histories and experiences. Inherently an extension and a reflection of the self onto another\, the electric current that binds us through experience and shared history and shared space will undoubtedly activate the supernatural. Our collective selves will go beyond our own narrated interpretations and reveal electrical connection.\n\n \n\nKCET’s Artbound on Carmen Argote’s Project:\nhttp://www.kcet.org/arts/artbound/counties/los-angeles/carmen-argote-migrant-experience.html\n\nCarmen Argote’s Guadalajara Project Website:\nhttp://www.carmenargote.com/guadalajara/

SUMMARY:Decolonizing the White Box II
DESCRIPTION:A follow up to last month’s community gathering initiating conversation about structural racism in and around the art world. \nWe are still defining the shape of this conversation—but this event will have a more traditional structure: we will stage a roundtable conversation with a handful of artists and art-workers\, and then open the event up to conversation with the audience. Confirmed panelists: Carolyn Castaño\, Amitis Motevalli and Ricardo Abreu Bracho. \n\nWe would like to welcome people with a slideshow — send us examples of work that inspires you\, work that opens up one’s thinking about what it means to develop a decolonial practice\, imagine a different future\, another world\, to mine the past. Work by your spirit guides\, work of your own that you would like to share. You can send images to HRLA by emailing us through our website\, or by posting to the facebook event page for this event. \nNearly 200 people showed up for the first of these gatherings exploring the colonialism of the structures and modes of relation that people of color especially encounter in and around the art world. This is more than twice the size of any audience that has attended previous community forums at HRLA—and it meant that the first phase of the event was\, for many people\, unwieldy. Many left in the first hour\, but more stayed. We worked our way toward conversation—and engaged in important listening exercises with each other. People shared powerful stories of exclusion and erasure. \nFor this session\, we will listen to a panel of artists and art-workers with different kinds of practices and experiences\, and talk with them. Hopefully\, as spaces and collectives continue to program events supporting the exchange of anti-racist perspective and ideas\, people can enjoy the sense that each event is part of a larger\, ongoing and heterogenous process.

SUMMARY:Fayçal Baghriche: Walk the Walk
DESCRIPTION:“A globe spinning so fast the continents can no longer be made out\, flags wrapped around themselves\, showing only their red colour\, a video reversing the course of time – starting from the formulation of a hypothesis\, the works of Fayçal Baghriche undermine our most familiar points of reference by staging fundamental actions. Playing on discrepancy\, the artist invites us to distance a normalised reality. Mixing performance\, installation\, video and photography\, he reveals\, the better to annihilate them\, the systems of identification\, behavioural models or language structures that determine what we are and become a pretext for the poetic construction of another reality. \nBorn in Skidda\, Algeria\, in 1972\, Fayçal Baghriche studied at Villa Arson in Nice then moved to Paris\, where he helped to create an artist’s residence (La Villa du Lavoir\, since 2003) and a curatorial structure (Le Comissariat\, since 2006). His artistic work has been shown in numerous exhibitions in France and abroad.” \n– Vérane Pina  \nHuman Resources LA presents Fayçal Baghriche’s “Walk the Walk” (2014)\, a large-scale installation that meditates on everyday public life in Los Angeles: telephone poles. \nGallery hours: Fri– Sun\, noon-6PM;  Mon-Thu by appointment only.
