SUMMARY:Jean Robison: Wandering Eye
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Saturday\, June 24\, 6–9pm \n\n\n\nExhibition Dates: June 24-27\, 2023 \n\n\n\nGallery Hours: Sunday June 25 11am – 2pm and by appointment \n\n\n\nRobison’s immersive installation showcases new work in an experimental audio/visual arrangement. Images\, objects\, sounds and other phenomena are pushed to new interpretations as they wander between physical and digital reference points. \n\n\n\nJean Robisonjeanrobison.com \n\n\n\nJean Robison is an interdisciplinary multimedia artist. Working primarily in video\, the internet and social practice. Her work includes experimental websites\, animation\, digitally manipulated paintings\, photography and performance. Robison’s work reinterprets artifacts of mass media to explore how consciousness and perception are shaped by pre-digested imagery and information generally brought to us by the web\, movies and television. Often infused with an unlikely mix of gravity and humor\, her work embodies a hybrid sensibility that utilizes a variety of media to explore popular culture as well as the mechanical devices of information delivery like cameras\, screens and the printed surface. \n\n\n\nRobison’s outlook on art-making is highly motivated by interactivity and engagement. Whether through a computer screen as in her online and digital work or large-scale public engagement as with social practice projects\, her work offers a disposition of intimacy rather than intimidation.

SUMMARY:Adrian Culverson: Smorgasbord
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours: Noon-6:00pm \n\n\n\nSmorgasbord is a collection of paintings and sculptures that revolve around abstracted formal investigations of colour\, shape\, and play. Hand-sewn fabric compactions augmented and calcified with heavily applied color. Bizarrely deformed three-dimensional structures with rough and sandy honeycombed surfaces resembling computer generated imagery\, a motion graphic still-life. Large swaths of smooth colorful frostings\, seemingly dipped like hardened candy shell\, an assortment of stuffed shapes cascade and pose as evolved protuberance. A short explosive burst with unknown musculature\, like a cartoon super highway or beautiful puff-cloud. – Aimee Gougen \n\n\n\nAdrian Culverson grew up in Claremont\, a suburb of Los Angeles\, California. Culverson graduated with Honors from Art Center College of Design with a BFA in Fine Art and a Minor in Multimedia\, and she graduated from Claremont Graduate University with an MFA. Culverson has been published in several Art journals including Scribendi and Venice Beach and has shown her work in many group shows. Major influences to Culverson’s work include reading\, travel and most importantly the art of staying still and watching people and life unfold. Currently\, Culverson teaches beginning drawing at a local community college and works as an artist’s assistant. Culverson’s pieces involve many mediums from sewn structures to painting to photography. Culverson is based in Los Angeles. (Instagram: @aculverson)

SUMMARY:BIH (Carmina Escobar\, Roco Córdova and Dorian Wood)
DESCRIPTION:Vocalists/multidisciplinary artists Carmina Escobar\, Roco Córdova and Dorian Wood return to Human Resources as BIH\, expanding on their performance of Blood is here back in April. The three consider the contexts of space\, public proximity and ancestral energy to construct a web-like spatial environment consisting of their interacting voices. Each artist brings their respective trajectory to this intention\, replete with mindfulness and an urgency to continue addressing hidden narratives around body autonomy and claiming/reclaiming space. As an evening-length performance\, BIH investigate fluid histories through ritualistic practices and material experimentation\, centering on the broad possibilities of vocalization. BIH transform the space\, intermittently inviting the public to engage in a mutation of process\, utilizing concepts of voice as both unifiers and isolators. BIH pose the following: Are we vessels for something finite\, or conduits for a broader\, more complex purpose? Blood is here is a plea for an alternative to documentation and archiving that relies on human presence\, mindfulness\, focus\, perspective and legend to assist in the longevity of our existences. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nPresale tickets are available – $15 or other donation amount

SUMMARY:Slowski + Squash & Biscuit: Civil Twilight along the Aegean Sea
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Fmin\, Dbmin\, F#min\, Amin\, and Dbmaj in the harmonic chromatic language of soft blue\, yellow\, yellow-orange\, soft red\, and blue-green—the colors of summer sunsets along oceans and seas. \n\n\n\nCivil twilight occurs at 8:36 pm-9:07 pm on July 11th\, 2023 in Izmir\, Turkey\, a city on the eastern side of the Aegean Sea. Civil twilight occurs when the geometric center of the Sun is 6 degrees below the horizon\, and nautical and astronomical twilight happens 12 and 18 degrees below the horizon. The Aegean Sea has been a connective body between history\, politics\, and philosophical exchanges in the East and the West as ships engage in trade\, and piracy hemmed the ways. \n\n\n\nSlowski is Priyanka Ram\, an artist based in Los Angeles\, CA. Slowski is a community-based improvisational piano and keyboard practice with the intention to create space for attentive listening. Their music is based in classical Western and Carnatic musical training. Slowski has played in bars\, churches\, galleries\, museums\, and artist-run spaces. Maybe at the heart of the practice is a desire to play as many acoustic pianos as they can and play with textures of difference. \n\n\n\nSquash & Biscuit is Shuwen Zhao and Brian Griffith who weave together sampled ephemera\, vocals\, and synthesized textures to create a sound world that is exploratory and free. Their work is often in collaboration with choreographers\, animators\, and other musicians to build a piece that is unique and fun. Using a combination of structure and improvisation\, their work evolves and flows while remaining true to their voice.

SUMMARY:Hothouse
DESCRIPTION:Hothouse \n\n\n\nDirty Looks Inc presents Hothouse\, a program of erotic film and video art focusing on ‘realcore’ non-genital sex and symbolic eroticism. Originally curated as part of the exhibition Fulgora\, organized by EO Gill for Sydney World Pride 2023\, Houthouse works with the understanding that notions of reality and authenticity are the mainstay of conventional pornographic production and reception. In the works curated here\, staged depictions of bodily authenticity open onto broader slippages in reality. Lingering on the real disrupts conventional acts of looking and forces us to ask where our pleasure begins. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nO. Wow\, Private Pleasures\, video\, 25min.\, 1985 \n\n\n\nNan Kinney founded Fatale Media in 1984 with the intention of providing erotic hardcore adult movies for a lesbian audience. Thirty-five years later\, Fatale Media is still going with Nan Kinney still at the helm. One of the first short films released by Fatale Media\, Private Pleasures is directed by the clearly pseudonymous O. Wow and written by an anonymous writer. The videotape is a dialog free short film that presents the seduction of a woman. The plot is that Mariko comes home and puts on the short adult movie “The Penthouse.” “The Penthouse” features Teri seducing her dinner guest\, Caerage. While “The Penthouse” plays\, Mariko pleasures herself watching the short movie. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nC. Michael McCullough (Michael Zen)\, Tattoo\, 16mm\, 15min.\, 1975 \n\n\n\nNone of the men in this documentary short are explicitly gay\, but it somehow still feels both more homoerotic and kinkier than most actual sex films. Falconhead director Michael Zen directly equates something as simple as a tattoo to that of the s/m ritual — an act of domination and submission between two men that’s both painful and pleasurable in equal amounts. Even without sex or nudity\, there’s a sense that we’re witnessing a forbidden act — one man repeatedly fucking another with a needle in a smoke-filled room that feels less like a tattoo shop than it does a sweaty\, tool-filled dungeon. Remarkable stuff – Liz Purchell \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTom Chomont\, Razorhead\, 16mm\, 8min.\, 1981The film was made on the request of the participants as a record of a two-day erotic ritual. 400 feet of film were shot and later permission was obtained to treat the material as an aesthetic composition\, approximately 250 feet long. Originally the film was intended as part of a series dealing with non-genital sex and symbolic eroticism. Restored by UCLA Film and Television Archive. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAuthor unknown\, My Master’s Table\, 16mm\, 42min.\, 1971A deliriously-saturated sadist epic. Little is known about the title\, save for its December\, 1971 release date. But the filmmaker is clearly a fan of Kenneth Anger’s Scorpio Rising\, where that film’s brilliant color-play ebbs out onto two S/M couples who make creative use of the eponymous table. A stunning\, medium-length oddity\, the gorgeous 2k scan comes courtesy of Vinegar Syndrome’s Joe Rubin. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nThis event is presented as part of the Wednesday Night Summer Screening Series

SUMMARY:ANEMOIA
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours: 12 – 6pm \n\n\n\n“Our culture is defective. Perhaps you mean that we ought to study the problem and look for a solution. Perhaps we could\, if it wasn’t so late. Altogether too late.” [The Sacrifice – Andre Tarkovsky]  \n\n\n\nAnemoia is a group exhibition that addresses the climate crisis through the concept of nostalgia as a future oriented emotional experience. This exhibition brings together the diverse practices of five artists: Andrea Nhuch\, David Daigle\, Sahar M. Abadi\, Niusha Barahimi and Taylor Griffith. Makeshift hybrid plants resembling a post-human garden\, video projections\, photographs and assemblage propose a dystopian future landscape. The dialog between the works invites reflection on the complex interplay between humanity\, nature\, and the climate crisis. \n\n\n\nAnemoia\, a term denoting nostalgic feelings for a time or place one has never experienced\, finds new meaning within the context of this exhibition. It serves as a reflection on our regretful detachment from nature\, symbolizing the growing divide between human and nature. Ultimately\, Anemoia stands as an elegy for a lost\, decaying future\, capturing the anxiety of living amidst technologically advanced ruins of our dreams. \n\n\n\nAbadi’s multi-channel video\, Where we were\, suspends the viewer in a loop. The video uses aerial perspective to hover upon ancient ruins\, a smooth pattern of decay and dissolve. The choreography of space\, objects and ideas poetically addresses themes of time\, as history and duration\, and the visual and spatial codes of a civilization. One channel of the video mines the visual language of numbers\, simultaneously reminding that history repeats itself\, that this is a pattern that repeats itself throughout history. The sound element of the video adds a thematic complexity through describing the cycle of life and death as well as humanity’s tendency for war and destruction.Nhuch’s installation\, Speculative Now is a series of sculptures centered around the strict use of materials to question the relationship between the natural and artificial. The collection of works are presented as a hybrid conceptual forest that has mutated and is resilient to human intervention. Man-made materials\, such as sheet metal\, plastic\, glass\, and rubber latex\, act as both contaminants and prosthetics for found wood\, tree trunks and twigs. Nature and culture are entangled in a material symbiosis in an attempt to speculate about post-human landscape aesthetics.Daigle’s piece titled Petrol is an inflatable nightmare of a melted gasoline pump. In a world where we prioritize our dependency on fossil fuels\, we risk the damage of these fuels permanently altering our own bodies. The unexpected growth of hair\, teeth and even eyeballs from the work refer to genetic mutations caused by chemical leakage\, explosion and pollution. \n\n\n\nGriffith’s video\, Staring Into The Abyss of an Archipelago\, offers a captivating juxtaposition between the deep ocean and outer space\, using two distinct perspectives. It was filmed both in the waters off the Galapagos Islands and on the Channel Islands\, creating a space for contemplation of the non-human world\, often regarded as the last frontiers of exploration. The footage was captured using a low-light camera\, surpassing the sensitivity of the human eye with an impressive 4 million ISO capability. In this way\, the work invites viewers to reflect on the depths of the ocean and the vastness of space\, reminding us of the unexplored abysses that lie beyond our current understanding and perceptions of reality. \n\n\n\nBarahimi’s series titled\, Photosynthesis\, are large format analog photographs which deal with the concept of waiting and change. The works presented in this exhibition draw on the political economy of waiting\, utilized by control mechanisms to direct people’s movement\, their desire and hope. Photosynthesis is a biological process that converts light energy into chemical energy\, the same way in the film photography light falls into the silver halides to produce an image: Waiting for the imperceptible changes to make a difference. \n\n\n\nIG: @thenhuch\, @daviddaigle_studio\, @sahar.m.abadi\, @niusha.barahimi\, @510tay \n\n\n\nFor media inquiries\, interviews\, or further information\, please contact:Shiva Abadishiva.maba@gmail.com(213) 819-2669

She received her MFA from UCLA in 2021. Recent exhibitions include Groundwork\, Dreamsong\, Minneapolis\, MN; When The Stones Clash\, Michael Benevento\, Los Angeles\, CA; The Death of Beauty\, Sargent’s Daughters\, Los Angeles\, CA; of the world (with Luz Carabaño)\, Castle\, Los Angeles\, CA. She has been supported by the MacDowell Fellowship\, the Helen Frankenthaler Foundation\, the LA Lakers emerging artist grant and the American Austrian Foundation. Her current exhibition at Kristina Kite Gallery Filled With Song explores questions around mixed subjectivities\, vanitas\, the miraculous and death– recurrent obsessions that also fill the collaboration with Jennifer Tseng for HRLA.  \n\n\n\nChristopher Baliwas’ central practice of photography is often taken over by other mediums such as sound\, and sculpture. He is concerned with legacy\, rudimentary processes/practice\, and structural rigidity and produces work that engages with these themes as an attempt to inspire alternative senses of the world. Under the alias\, reallynathan\, Baliwas independently released the album “O” in 2020\, and co-produced the mix series “Raise the Flag:” on NTS Radio. He lives in Los Angeles with his partner\, Andrea Sipin\, their first born\, Naima\, and their second child who is on the way. \n\n\n\nCherisse Gray (b.1990\, Manila\, Philippines) is an interdisciplinary artist living and working in New York City. She received her MFA in Sculpture at UCLA and her BFA in Sculpture & Linguistics from Virginia Commonwealth University. Gray works across mediums through installation\, performance\, sculpture\, and painting. She liberally utilizes the syntax of contemporary visual culture through the playful adaptation of found objects\, reappropriated images\, hired actors\, and the performance of classical archetypes. At this current juncture in time– her work investigates questions of otherness\, porosity\, boundaries vs. barriers\, and the phenomenology of beauty by way of architecture\, design\, and assemblage. \n\n\n\nChristos Tejada (b. 1989\, Los Angeles\, CA) multimedia artist & tattooist combines ritual and performance to explore thresholds of the visible and invisible expressed through the body. Performing since 2015 through their audio-visual work\, Tejada’s practice creates sensory experiences of identity symbolism with a focus on integrating the spiritual with the physical. Recent commissioned performances: Our Lady of Sorrows curated by Ron Athey in 2022 at Coaxial Gallery and Neptune’s Closet curated by Jamie Ross in 2023 at William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. Most recently\, in Athens\, Greece\, April 2023 under the guidance of Ron Athey\, Frederica Dauri\, Michele Occelli\, and Diana Pornoterrista\, Darkness Visible produced & curated by Hermes Pittakos\, the artist participated in a nine-day immersive with a focus on esoterica\, hypnosis\, automation\, somatic work\, ritual\, post-porn\, flesh-modifying techniques\, and unadulterated bliss. Tejada\, with the intention of diving deeper\, explores the bridge between generations/destructions and the erotic dimension of communal experiences. \n\n\n\nJennifer Tseng writes & teaches across genres. She is interested in collaborating with existing texts & with makers in other disciplines. Her work with Sydney began at MacDowell & raises ongoing questions about the tension between the need to tell the truth & the right to opacity; lyric & narrative powers of text & image—alone & together; & the sociality of thinking & art making. Such questions intersect with & complicate questions of multiplicity\, hybridity\, points of view & the ways in which time\, death & culture impact our lived experiences. Tseng’s most recent book\, Not so dear Jenny\, poems made with her late father’s English letters\, won the Juniper Prize for Poetry & will be published by University of Massachusetts Press in spring 2024. Her work has been translated into Chinese\, Danish & Italian. She is a professor of literature & creative writing at University of California\, Santa Cruz.

SUMMARY:OMFG FCK82 IRL
DESCRIPTION:FCK82 (FKA The Ensemble Whose Name is Uhhhhhmm… [FKA Lil’ Jürg Frey]) makes their first IRL appearance EVER with a screening of a 45-minute-long set created originally for the SPIEL! Games as Critical Practice conference held in Basel\, Switzerland earlier this year. Accompanying this will be a selection of films and videos related to ideas in the work of the ensemble such as the relationship between image and sound\, performance with everyday materials\, and games/rules\, including Minjung Kim’s (100ft) and Footage\, Francesco Gagliardi’s some cities\, Yishi Chen’s Tools II\, and Jianyuan Ding’s video performance of Mieko Shiomi’s Wind Piece. Dicky Bahto will also screen a 16mm print of his film Red Carpet in C\, which includes documentation of an installation by Yunhee Min and Peter Tolkin along with two musical performances that occurred under the work: one of a piece composed by Pluto Bell\, the other a collaborative improvisation between Suzie Kozawa and Angela Francis Wilson. \n\n\n\nAn experimental music ensemble that exists partially within Animal Crossing: New Horizons\, The Ensemble Whose Name is Uhhhhhmm… (Spelled with Five H’s and Two M’s) is Dicky Bahto\, Pluto Bell\, Morgan Gerstmar\, and Stephanie Cheng Smith. \n\n\n\n“Really strange\, quotidian\, domestic\, experimental music which is really compelling … it’s almost like various people walking into a room together and rattling the things around them\, that’s what it kind of sounds like. But that’s the basis of experimental music isn’t it\, in the John Cagean way\, so why not do it in Animal Crossing as well? ” – Fielding Hope of Cafe Oto\, London. \n\n\n\n“I was watching it with my 11 year old\, who was just fascinated” – Verity Sharp\, BBC3 \n\n\n\n“…while the game’s cute graphics and the performances’ overall premise may feel gimmicky at first\, the meticulous consideration for rhythm\, sonic qualities and spirited experimentation are undeniable upon viewing and very much in the lineage of Fluxus … what they accomplish here feels surprising\, enthralling and nothing short of singular.” – Joshua Minsoo Kim\, The Wire \n\n\n\nThis event is presented as part of the Wednesday Night Summer Screening Series.

Emily believes that the ways our physical bodies move through the world are reflections of our past encounters and rehearsals for our future encounters. When we perform in dance\, theater\, and film our past\, present\, and future selves conjure and converge into one another. Emily believes the heightened frame and ephemeral container of performance allows us to experiment with alternate ways of being in the world\, attempting to access alternate possibilities that are not able to be expressed in dominant notions of time\, space\, and identity. Performance making for her is an attempt to rehearse these future possibilities in real time and space. Emily is honored to continue curating First Draft\, she feels passionately about bringing local Los Angeles experimental performance artists together and creating more spaces for connection\, experimentation\, and exchange!

SUMMARY:Carlos Agredano: Smog Check
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours: Wednesday through Sunday\, 12 – 6pmOpening: Saturday\, October 7\, 7 – 9pm \n\n\n\nSmog Check is an exhibition of new sculptures and research by Carlos Agredano about the air-quality around Chinatown\, which sits adjacent to the Harbor (I-110) Freeway and is the location of Human Resources Los Angeles.  \n\n\n\nThis exhibition focuses on the legacy of two discriminatory housing practices – racially restrictive covenants and redlining.  These two interlocking private and federal practices aided in the development of Los Angeles’ public freeway system in the 20th century and systematically destroyed and polluted racially diverse communities such as Bunker Hill\, Chavez Ravine\, Boyle Heights\, and Chinatown.  \n\n\n\nAgredano’s sculptures actively document Los Angeles’ air pollution and respond to ongoing environmental racism in the city. For this exhibition\, Agredano placed a canvas on the rooftop of HRLA for exactly one month to collect the ambient air pollution that exists in the neighborhood. He also engaged with the community of Chinatown by trading readymade objects such as window air conditioners and street vendor parasols\, objects which collect polluted air particles on a daily basis. By rolling balls of clay around different streets in Chinatown\, Agredano created single-layered stones coated in debris left behind by vehicles and humans alike. Flanking the entrance of the gallery are two Corsi-Rosenthal Boxes\, DIY air purifiers that aid in cleaning indoor air.  \n\n\n\nOther works reside outside the gallery space. Installed on the facade of HRLA is a nylon flag\, part of the Federal EPA Air Quality Flag Program\, which is designed to inform the public about the air quality in the local area. On the nearby I-110 freeway\, a vinyl banner reads “Keep Los Angeles Beautiful” designed after a Los Angeles initiative to clean and “beautify” littered and polluted neighborhoods. On various telephone poles and freeway exit ramps are blank “music” posters\, coated with an adhesive designed to collect debris and reveal a gradient of Los Angeles’ pollution.   \n\n\n\nThese process-based and ready-made sculptures all function as evidence of the environmental conditions that Chinatown is subject to on a daily basis due to its proximity to the Harbor I-110 Freeway.

SUMMARY:JD's Preventing Harassment & Discrimination Training
DESCRIPTION:While gallery sitting for Carlos Agredano’s Smog Check\, Jennifer Doyle will complete her state-mandated sexual harassment prevention training program\, and livestream this exercise (via HRLA’s Instagram account) while offering running commentary about the process. Doyle is the author of Campus Sex/Campus Security\, a book which takes up the braiding of harassment and security dynamics. The possibility of harassment alibis the intensification of the security apparatus—how do we undo that relation? what is a safe space? what makes for a hostile environment? What does it mean to refuse these securitizing structures\, and to reckon with our expectations of institutions and our relationship to them? This training\, normally taken with zero real engagement with these issues\, is supposed to take two hours. Doyle stretches this obligation out: it is unlikely she’ll get all the way through it. Pop by the gallery to check out Agredano’s exhibition and to join her in conversation about social ecology and harassment as a form of toxicity.  This training exercise is meant to be interrupted.

SUMMARY:Zori Swanegan: In suspension\, otherwise
DESCRIPTION:dubious lift-off (2023)\, pastel and graphite on yupo paper\, 5” x 7”.\n\n\n\nOpening reception: Friday\, October 27\, 6 – 9pmOpen hours: Saturday\, October 28th and Sunday\, October 29th 12 – 6pm \n\n\n\nA collection of drawings\, prints\, and one animation serving as windows before intangible subjects abbreviated in space. \n\n\n\nZori Swanegan (b. 1996\, Kansas City\, MO) is a visual artist based in Los Angeles\, CA. She earned her BA from UCLA in 2018. Her practice consists primarily of drawings that explore the association between an established visual plane and objects which aggrandize or invalidate it. Her work has been shown in Los Angeles at PSLA\, Punto Lairs\, and Human Resources.  \n\n\n\n* \n\n\n\nZori Swanegan at Human Resources \n\n\n\nDrawing is a mysterious act in which a two dimensional field meets the artist’s conscious and unconscious self. The plane on which the drawing occurs presents itself as neutral ground\, but it is not. It is charged and prepared for transformation. Zori Swanegan leans into these dormant spaces\, both in digital and physical realms\, to conjure the appearance of forms. \n\n\n\nSimple lines and shapes are summoned to create playful constellations in Swanegan’s drawings. At times these suspended forms are brought down to depict a landscape or settle in a stage-like arrangement. Some forms are gently rendered and pushed to the foreground as protagonists\, while others accompany them or outline the surrounding scape. \n\n\n\nThese drawings are simple and abstract\, they oscillate between complete ambiguity and suggestive interactions of pictoric components. The most descriptive work is perhaps the animated image that anchors the exhibition. Here\, a mountainous form glides in space as two shapes hover above casting shadows. The two floating shapes function like clouds\, but they come to a point on each side and are transparent against a black background. These are not clouds. Like much of Swanegan’s work\, they are indefinable but allude to the world. \n\n\n\nMany of the images in the exhibition were made digitally\, defying materiality in their making while mimicking physical mark making. In some ways digital spaces work the way human minds do\, storing away information\, ready to be pulled into consciousness when drawn out. The source of the drawings comes from within the digital apparatus as from within the artist. \n\n\n\nSwanegan’s digital prints\, handmade drawings\, and animation effortlessly compose forms into scenes. They speak both the language of contemporary illustration and abstract painting\, refusing to surrender fully to either. Forms act as characters and gestures in open\, untouched fields. In this suspended world of soft pinks\, reds\, and yellows – lines\, scratches\, blobs\, and cloud-like figures meet to render a parallel reality. In this alternate domain\, each mark embodies a unique role and follows a logic of its own. – Luz Carabaño

SUMMARY:The Alphabet of Andean Futurism
DESCRIPTION:This project emerges as an adaptation of fragments from Gamaliel Churata’s indigenist avant-garde masterpiece\, “The Golden Fish\,” viewed through the lens of Andean Futurism. It combines music\, video\, poetry\, and performance\, focusing on key scenes that depict the origins of a mythological being in the future of the Andes.  \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, the presentation includes Pumita Andino Cazador from the collective Lxs Demonixs del Ande from Huancayo – Peru\, a musical collaboration with local LA producer and DJ Adam O and the VJ mixing work of video artist and filmmaker Danny Perez. \n\n\n\nAlan Poma has adapted the Russian Cubo-Futurist opera Victory over the Sun and published the Andean Futurist Manifesto in 2019. He developed the concept of Andean Futurism\, which offers a non-linear interpretation of Andean culture. He has participated in performances\, exhibitions\, and concerts\, proposing an interpretation that encourages a dialogue between the Western avant-garde tradition and the Andean cultural heritage. Alan is currently visiting faculty at California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:So Much I Want to Say: A Glimpse into Palestinian Erasure
DESCRIPTION:Still from Palestine in the Eye (1971) by Mustafa Abu Ali.\n\n\n\nLos Angeles Filmforum and Human Resources Los Angeles presentSo Much I Want To Say: A Glimpse Into Palestinian ErasureScreening + Lecture PerformanceFor more info: https://www.lafilmforum.org/ \n\n\n\nWith guests curator Zaina Bseiso (in person) and Bahaleen Collective (via Zoom) \n\n\n\nPlease provide proof of donation to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund or Medical Aid for Palestinians for admission to the show. No additional ticket charge. \n\n\n\nMasks are highly recommended at Filmforum shows – N95 or KN95. \n\n\n\nAs we witness firsthand the abundance of power structures silencing Palestinian voices\, erasing and fabricating historical and current events\, this screening and lecture performance contextualizes the settler-colonial project’s current tactics of erasure. Hundreds of 16mm documentaries were made by the Palestine Film Unit and solidarity networks to portray the Palestinian struggle after the 1967 war. A large portion of those films were confiscated during the Israeli invasion of Beirut in 1982\, making it virtually impossible to see and hear these stories. It is only through acts of solidarity and Palestinian resilience\, exemplified by the Tokyo Reels\, that we are able to access some of the films featured in this program\, while many others remain locked in Israeli vaults\,  accessible only to vetted Israeli citizens. \n\n\n\nThis space of collective self-reflection will go beyond uplifting Palestinian voices. Borrowing its title from Mona Hatoum’s video art piece So Much I Want To Say\, this program recounts a timeline of refusals by artists and collectives to remain silent\, instead utilizing their tools to contribute to Palestinian narratives.  \n\n\n\nZaina Bseiso (Curator) is a film director\, producer\, and curator working primarily in documentary and experimental cinema. Her work explores the relationship between the materialities of place and issues of memory\, surveillance\, corporeality\, and nationalism. She received her master’s degree in film and video from the California Institute of the Arts. Bseiso is based in Los Angeles and was raised in Egypt by Palestinian parents. Her practice mainly traverses Egypt\, Palestine\, Cuba\, Mexico\, and the US. She is co-founder of Bahía Colectiva\, a community of filmmakers that collaborate in practice and curation. \n\n\n\nBahaleen Collective: Today\, we are Aya Bseiso\, Khalid Odeh\, and Noura Salem. We are a group of friends\, sometimes colleagues\, and often collaborators who are Palestinian artists\, architects\, surveyors\, calligraphers\, and researchers based in Jordan. Together\, we are Bahaleen\, a research group dedicated to exploring the emancipatory potentials of arts practice through a constellation of acts\, projects\, and productions. We aim to unearth and investigate the socio-political histories and colonized infrastructures of the region through a methodology and practice that offer new ways to experiment and activate research and knowledge production with a larger public. \n\n\n\nFor the past three years\, Bahaleen has been engaged in several multi-year independent research projects that circle around notions of temporality\, crossing borders\, and impermanent-permanent infrastructures. Through a series of roaming artist residencies\, we search for\, name\, and subvert narratives around water bodies\, oil and gas pipelines\, tourist projects\, nature reserves\, privatized property\, and the commons through the practice of creating databases of projects\, laws\, and political agreements that have colonized\, commercialized\, privatized\, and militarized our soil. All the while\, looking at the performance of politics on sites of extractive economies. Our research methodologies are driven by an artistic process that utilizes participatory research frameworks\, fieldwork\, desk research\, and documentation while experimenting with and pushing traditional research practices forward\, with the aim of treating the research process as a generative space of production in and around art and academic institutions. \n\n\n\nWhat we are doing today: Our work as Bahaleen—during war and ethnic cleansing—continues\, and it must. We have come to understand the necessity of our research\, always seeking Palestine. We remain captivated by the viscosity of oil and the flow of water\, their movement and disruption as they permeate and carve through our geography\, transcending their chemical properties. At this moment\, our body of research scrutinizing the settler-colonial infrastructures of oil and water and interpreting their movement to chart their cultural\, geopolitical\, and environmental significance has become a mapping of the infrastructures that feed a genocidal war machine. We find ourselves asking over and over again—what if—as we witness the potential and possibilities of their disruption. \n\n\n\nTo that end\, and to keep this short\, currently\, we are working on mapping these infrastructures\, towards an article that narrates our research and the conversations we have experienced and facilitated. Alongside allies in London\, we are working towards a global campaign calling for the disruption of oil and gas flow to Europe specifically looking at Algeria\, Iraq and Libya. Additionally\, we are indexing dams in our region\, mapping the flow of water around us\, identifying the political agreements that govern them\, their environmental impact\, and specifically tracing the involvement of the occupying state of Israel. \n\n\n\n———————- \n\n\n\nLos Angeles Filmforum is the city’s longest-running organization screening experimental and avant-garde film and video art\, documentaries\, and experimental animation. 2023 is our 48th year. \n\n\n\nMemberships available\, $40 Student $75 Individual\, $125 Dual\, or $225 Silver Nitrate  \n\n\n\nContact us at lafilmforum@gmail.com. \n\n\n\nFind us online at http://www.lafilmforum.org/. \n\n\n\nBecome a fan on Facebook and follow us on Twitter @LosAngFilmforum.
