Plays Itself begins at 7pm \nFred Halsted‘s L.A. Plays Itself (1972) was gay porn’s first masterpiece: a sexually explicit\, autobiographical\, experimental film whose New York screening left even Salvador Dalí repeatedly muttering “new information for me.” Halsted\, a self-taught filmmaker\, shot the film over a period of three years in a now-vanished Los Angeles\, a city at once rural and sleazy. Although his cultural notoriety at one point equaled that of Kenneth Anger or Jack Smith\, Halsted‘s star waned in the 1980s with the emergence of a more commercial gay-porn industry. After the death from AIDS of his long-time partner\, lover\, spouse (and tormentor) Joey Yale in 1986\, Halsted committed suicide in 1989. \nIn Halsted Plays Himself\, acclaimed artist and filmmaker William E. Jones documents his quest to capture the elusive public and private personas of Halsted–to zero in on an identity riddled with contradictions. Jones assembles a narrative of a long-gone gay lifestyle and an extinct Hollywood underground\, when independent films were still possible\, and the boundary between experimental and pornographic was not yet established. The book also depicts what sexual liberation looked like at a volatile point in time–and what it looked like when it collapsed. \nAbout the Author\nWilliam E. Jones is an artist and filmmaker who teaches film history at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena. He has made two feature length experimental films\, Massillon (1991) and Finished (1997)\, several short videos\, including The Fall of Communism as Seen in Gay Pornography (1998)\, the feature length documentary Is It Really So Strange? (2004)\, and many video installations. His films and videos were the subject of retrospectives at Tate Modern\, London\, in 2005\, and at Anthology Film Archives\, New York\, in 2010. He has worked in the adult video industry under the name Hudson Wilcox.

These objects were constructed and collected by the artists between the years of 2003 and 2010 and have been residing in Los Angeles for a period of time without purpose. The large conglomerations have now been brought to Human Resources and installed in new configurations by the artists for a ceremonious goodbye before they are retired to a 40-yard bin. \nShana Lutker contributes fifteen steel support structures (pedestals now without objects)\, and a sculpture consisting of most of the New York Times from the years 2003-2008. \nJedediah Caesar shows a set of eight massive casts of earth. Originally made within an architectural frame\, here\, outside of that framework\, each part functions as its own stage. \nRe-presenting these pieces\, the parameters of the work are unstable. This stop on the road from the studio to the landfill is a pause to consider the physical limitations and expectations of these objects. Both artists are collectors of things\, of objects from the world\, but also their own work. Getting rid of parts of the collection is an anxious and uneasy decision. For the artists\, this project is the trap door. \nJedediah Caesar and Shana Lutker are both artists who live in Los Angeles. \nAbout D3\nD3 is an artist-run service specializing in object divestment. Dealing with objects that are emotionally burdensome and have outlived their welcome\, D3 provides a personalized step-by-step process to clients who wish to deaccession such items from their personal collections. This process is founded upon the 3 Ds: Deliver\, Document\, Destroy. This approach to destroying an object functions to transform matter\, reorganize the energy it represents\, and disperse the formidable associations triggered by the object. D3 accepts submissions on an ongoing basis.\nFor more details\, visit www.D-three.org.  URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/jed-and-shana/ CATEGORIES:exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/elephantinacage_shanajed_2B.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111119 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111122 DTSTAMP:20170521T100531Z CREATED:20160310T104304Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170521T100531Z UID:1112-1321682400-1321855199@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Cindy Bernard - Year Long Loop DESCRIPTION:Year Long Loop runs continuously from November 19\, 4pm until November 20\, 4pm \nArtist Reception\, Saturday November 19\, 7-10pm \nDoughnuts and coffee will be served for the final 2 hours on Sunday\, November 20\n\nAbout the Video \nRecorded between October 2004 and September 2005\, Year Long Loop documents the sound and view as experienced from the vantage point of a ridge in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Mt. Washington. Described by Bernard as “a cross between John Cage’s 4’33 and Andy Warhol’s Empire\,” the work consists of one 5 minute shot for each hour of the day and is organized by month. The result is a continuous 24 hour loop that cycles through time. \nThe project was inspired by the mixture of sounds emanating from neighborhoods at the base of Mt. Washington\, a small mountain located in Northeast Los Angeles and situated between Glassell Park and Highland Park. The cries of local wildlife such as owls\, hawks\, crickets and song birds combine with car alarms\, gun shots\, sirens and ice cream trucks. This ambient soundtrack is occasionally punctuated with television and radio audio which Bernard utilized to ground the video in a specific time and place. Included in the soundtrack are references to the events of 2004-2005 including the presidential debates and the reelection of George Bush\, the Indonesian Tsunami\, the Iraq war\, the Michael Jackson trial verdict and Hurricane Katrina. \nThe first segment of Year Long Loop\, October 2004 (for R.P.) was shown at Margo Leavin Gallery in November 2004 along with a selection of Bernard’s “Bandshell” photographs. In his Artforum review of the exhibition\, Jan Tumlir described Bernard’s work as giving way “to an aesthetic that is autonomous\, in that it resists translation into words\, but is not apolitical….positioning the viewer not to one side or the other so much as right in between: between production and reception\, picture and sound\, the aesthetic and the social – at the very sites where culture is negotiated.” \nAbout the Artist \nCindy Bernard takes an active interest in instigating social exchange. In the last several years her work has transitioned from photographs and projections exploring cinema\, memory\, and landscape (including the widely exhibited series Ask the Dust) to projects which focus on sound and music as a part of a visual practice. She is the recipient of numerous grants and fellowships including the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and most recently a California Community Foundation Fellowship. Her work has been exhibited in museums and galleries in the US\, Canada\, Mexico\, Europe and Japan\, and was included in the Whitney and Lyon Biennials. In Los Angeles\, Ask the Dust was most recently on view in Collection: The First 30 Years at the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles. \nIn 1999\, Bernard founded the experimental music series sound. which later incorporated as a non-profit\, The Society for the Activation of Social Space through Art and Sound (SASSAS). She has produced more than 40 concerts for SASSAS\, many at the historic Schindler House. The unique blend of architecture\, audience and performer at the Schindler House led to her current exploration of sound and music\, not as mediums – she does not consider herself a sound artist – but as facilitators for works that incorporate issues of community\, class\, economics and politics. \nIn addition to Year Long Loop\, recent solo projects include: Silent Key\, a mapping of the transitory nature of territorial and political boundaries via Ham Radio QSL cards and The Inquisitive Musician\, an adaptation of a 17th century German satire pitting itinerant “beer fiddlers” against the city sanctioned “Kunstpfeifer” in an argument over who has the right to perform. The Inquisitive Musician is presented as a staged read incorporating video and live music and was most recently presented at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in May 2011. \nYear Long Loop is made possible in part by a Center for Cultural Innovation Investing in Artists Grant.

Her work has been seen institutions large and important and small and also important. Dynasty Handbag performances have been heralded by the New York Times as “the funniest and most pitch perfect performance seen in years” and a “crackpot genius” by the Village Voice. She is the recipient of the 2007 Fresh Tracks Artist in Residency Award at Dance Theater Workshop\, 2008 recipient of the Franklin Furnace Fund grant for the performing arts\, the 2010 Dixon Place Mondo Cane! commission\, and the 2010 Kindle Artist Grant. She is currently an adjunct professor of Performance Composition at NYU Tisch School of the Arts\, Performance Studies Department. She is currently working on an upcoming production with The Wooster Group\, to be presented in 2012. \n“Tender Forever comes along in tough times. Nobody can ignore the dark places we’ve watched the world go in the past few years. But as divisions grows in the world\, so does our ability to connect. Ours is a world exploding with communication and Tender Forever sits neatly in the center of that explosion. Lots of flights and some missed phone calls\, friends here\, lovers there. Missed connections and connections made. Melanie Valera’s Franco-American pop project spans nationalities and leaps forward towards a world where we can close the gaps between countries\, ideologies and ultimately hearts. Move closer. \nValera was born in 1977\, the year of the punk\, and spent her formative years in the village of Maurr\, in south west France. As often happens\, this small town kid pushed past the restrictions of that kind of environment\, out into the larger world. In this case the city of Bordeaux and the University Michel de Montaigne of Arts. Her years in Bordeaux saw her developing an aesthetic that would transfer into her first musical projects the Bonnies\, and later\, Garrison Rocks. Armed with girl group and R&B classics The Bonnies took on the streets of Bordeaux\, and with the partnership of a Californian band mate and intelligent\, soulful pop Garrison Rocks took on Melanie’s expanding world. \nTender Forever became Melanie’s project in 2003\, a solo effort which simplified and concentrated her music. A laptop\, a long mic cord and almost too much enthusiasm was all it took. Tender Forever from the start was as much an experience as a band. That girl with the mic moves with passion\, pounds out fear\, falls to her knees\, cranks up the visuals and passes it off to you. All of this quickly led her out of Bordeaux to the gentle state of Washington and that weird\, weird city of Olympia. New friends and collaborators of a like mind (including Mirah\, The Blow\, Anna Oxygen and Calvin Johnson) kept it a busy summer. These new connections would be the beginning of a Northwest/Bordeaux connection sending bands back and forth\, and further establishing Melanie’s new intercontinental artistic life.

If\, how or why they utilize the photographic medium\, they all respond\, in one way or another\, to conditions specific to photography – namely\, the seemingly transparent documentation of a given time and place. \nThe pieces on view address these ideas\, but transcend them as limitations to meaning. They are documents of the conditions and processes underlying their creation; serve as signifiers of meaning not only for their authors\, but also for the viewers that encounter them; and point to the histories of these places and subjects\, which have led the photographic content to its iteration at the point of exposure. \nAshley Blakeney’s interest in an audience’s interaction with\, and conversations about\, a series of photographs unmasks the history of a “project” and how the meaning of an image changes over time. Yrneh Gabon Brown explores the cemetery landscape and it’s living inhabitants as a place for life after death\, while Chris Hanke contemplates the corporeal contours beneath and within us. Kaitlyn Fong attempts to photograph “nothing” and Brandon Jardine negotiates spaces of cruising\, pre-existing structural systems of sexual exchange and cruising as a means to understand spaces\, their histories and our place within them. Finally\, Devon McDonald-Hyman dissects a methodology for formulating truth(s) and Ian Stanton analyzes systems of social media-based self-representation\, negotiating the intersection of simulation and simulacrum. \nThese artworks touch upon projected identity\, mediation of the internet\, cultural tradition\, histories\, attribution of meaning to a work\, dynamic relationships between author and meaning\, as well as the modes through which we convey these ideas. To name a few: everything\, nothing and anything at all. As for the final meaning\, it is up to you\, the viewer\, to decide exactly how essential these documents prove to be.

Including painting and sculpture\, the new works incorporate flatness and volume\, painted gestures and printed patterns\, symbolic language and raw materiality\, and evoke a bodily presence while remaining within abstraction. The variety of works in the exhibition – ranging from large sculpture to small painting – actively engage the viewer within the architecture of the exhibition space. \nIn making welded metal sculpture\, Larkey responds to a tradition of modernist male sculptors\, from Anthony Caro and Tony Smith to lesser known figures such as Julio Gonzalez and Jorge Oteiza. The sculptures reveal hidden subjects: phrases broken down into fragments of language\, and dress patterns made into armor-like edifices. By injecting familiar\, everyday content into this tradition of abstraction\, Larkey provides a slippage between looking\, reading\, and wearing – evoking and questioning the different ways that one interacts with an object in the world. \nSimilarly\, in the paintings\, what seems to be a straightforwardly painted surface reveals itself to be layers of raw canvas\, fabric\, clay fragments\, and paint. For “The Lost Alphabet\,” Larkey imagines an alternative to the basic elements of language\, suggesting that the world is not as fixed as it might seem\, and that new modes of communication are possible. In the series “Masks\,” each painting contains within it an abstracted face; the paint becomes a kind of make-up\, and the painted surface becomes a series of false fronts. Using different materials and techniques to extract both solid forms and subtle gestures\, the paintings confuse negative and positive space\, yielding lyrical shifts between the covering and the covered-up. \nMolly Larkey (b. 1971\, Los Angeles) lives and works in Los Angeles\, CA. She received a MFA from Rutgers University\, New Jersey and a BA from Columbia University\, New York. Her work has been featured in exhibitions at PS1 Moma\, New York; The Saatchi Gallery\, London; The Drawing Center\, New York; Horton Gallery\, New York; Samson Projects\, Boston; Bobbie Greenfield Gallery\, Santa Monica; Ochi Gallery\, Ketchum; among others. She is the founder of Statler Waldorf Gallery\, an alternative art space\, which she runs from her home in Echo Park. \nOn view October 22nd – November 12th\, 2011\, Thursday – Saturday 12-6pm URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/molly-larkey/ CATEGORIES:exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Mask_1_WEB.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20111020 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20111104 DTSTAMP:20170521T101447Z CREATED:20160310T104303Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170521T101447Z UID:1102-1319090400-1320299999@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Plain Brown Wrapper DESCRIPTION:Sophie Lee\nAnne McCaddon\nAllison Miller\nYunhee Min \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, October 22nd\, 7-10 pm \nA plain brown wrapper is used when something is too valuable – or too subversive – to reveal to the world. It’s a strategy of concealment\, so that the treasured object isn’t immediately recognized for what it is. It’s also an enticement; since only things of value are given a plain brown wrapper\, it creates an urgency to know what lies beneath the surface. “Plain Brown Wrapper” presents four LA-based artists – Sophie Lee\, Anne McCaddon\, Allison Miller\, Yunhee Min – whose work shares a seemingly straightforward\, humble presentation that leads to layered richness upon further looking. This exhibition is a joint venture between Human Resources and Statler Waldorf Gallery. \nOn view in the Upstairs Gallery: October 20th – November 2nd\, 2011\, Thursday – Saturday 12-6pm \nSophie Lee has a BA from Mills College and an MFA from the University of California\, Irvine. Her work is a response to the formal and psychological manifestations of spaces\, whether the frame of the paper or the architecture of a room. Incorporating a variety of found and traditional artist materials\, the work manifests as collage\, painting\, sculpture and installation. \nAnne McCaddon received her BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2002 and her MFA in Painting from the University of California\, Los Angeles in 2009. Solo exhibitions include Over-Under Worked\, with Artist Curated Projects at Parker Jones and The Alphabet Paintings at The Los Angeles County Museum of Art ARSG Special Exhibitions. McCaddon has exhibited with Statler Waldorf Gallery\, Los Angeles\, CA; Arena 1 Gallery\, Santa Monica\, CA; Steve Turner Contemporary\, Los Angeles\, CA; Black Dragon Society\, Los Angeles\, CA; Glu & Harvey Levine Temporary\, Los Angeles\, CA; and V&A\, New York\, NY. \nAllison Miller received her BFA in Printmaking from the Rhode Island School of Design and her MFA with a concentration in Painting and Drawing from the University of California\, Los Angeles.

FREE CLINIC #2 will take place on Thursday\, October 13\, 2011 from 6pm-9pm and is hosted by Human Resources\, the performance-focused art collective in L.A.’s Chinatown gallery district. \nThe FREE CLINIC provides a platform for Los Angeles-based artists to connect with the larger international performance community. By pairing artists with intersecting methods and practices\, The FREE CLINIC aims to engage the local public with the growing discourse surrounding the performance art medium. Each Clinic in the series will include a publication featuring photographs and writings on the artists’ work\, to be distributed free-of-charge to attendees. \nFREE CLINIC #2 will bring together Internationally renowned artists Marilyn Arsem (Boston\, MA)\, Alejandra Herrera (Los Angeles\, CA\, b. Santiago\, Chile)\, and Dawn Kasper (Los Angeles\, CA) to present new performance work in Los Angeles. Unintentionally coinciding with the October full moon\, the event on the 13th will feature three of today’s most exciting performance artists that all share a distinct investment in the unique properties and conditions of live performance. These include the fundamental centrality of the subjective body\, the role an audience plays in relation to the performer\, and the transformation of a material’s meaning through action. \nThere is no charge for admission\, and complimentary refreshments will be provided. \nPlease help keep the Free Clinic FREE! This event is funded by donations\, large and small\, from generous individuals like yourself. Please show your support by donating now\, and receive your choice of Action Bureau/Free Clinic gifts. \nAbout the Artists \nMARILYN ARSEM has been creating live events since 1975\, ranging from solo performances to large-scale works incorporating installation and performance. She has presented work at festivals\, alternative spaces\, galleries\, museums\, conferences and universities throughout Europe\, Asia\, North and South America. In many of her recent performances\, Arsem has focused on current political issues. Her site-specific performances respond to both the history of the site\, as well as to the immediate landscape and materiality of the location. The events are designed to implicate the audience directly in the concerns of the work\, to create an experience that is both visceral and intellectual. To accomplish this\, she incorporates a broad range of media\, and often engages all the senses. Sites have included a former Cold War missile base in the United States\, a 15th century Turkish bath in Macedonia\, an aluminum factory in Argentina\, and the site of the Spanish landing in the Philippines. She is a full-time faculty member at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, where she teaches performance art\, and is a graduate advisor. \nALEJANDRA HERRERA is a visual artist and performer from Santiago (Chile)\, currently living in Los Angeles (USA). She has presented her performances in numerous galleries and festivals in South and North America as well as Europe. She was Assistant Professor at the Performance Art Workshop of Alexander Del Re in Valparaíso. Her works usually include woman’s being as an object in and of itself\, sometimes in contrast to the male being\, exploring sensuality and materiality in relation to her body\, both in digital pictures and in performance. She has produced and organized visual arts shows\, such as the Annual Showcase of Students of the Arts Faculty of the University of Chile\, exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art of Santiago\, “Av-ant Perfo”\, the first international performance art show in Valparaíso\, and “Perfo Puerto”\, the First Latin American festival of performance art in Chile. \nDAWN KASPER is an active Los Angeles based performance artist. Kasper has performed and exhibited internationally at galleries and institutions including the Migros Museum Für Genenwartskunst in Zurich\, LISTE Basel\, the J. Paul Getty Museum\, Art Basel Art Positions Miami\, LACMA\, LACE\, The Hammer Museum\, MOCA\, Newman Popiashvili Gallery New York\, Anna Helwing Gallery\, Circus Gallery\, Leo Koenig Inc.\, Projekte New York\, Art in General New York\, Copy Gallery Philadelphia\, and David Castillo Gallery Miami. Kasper is currently one of the acting co-directors of the performance and experimental art venue Human Resources in Los Angeles. \nAbout the Organizers \nTHE ACTION BUREAU is a curatorial collective founded by artists Parker Davis and Paul Waddell\, and now includes Catherine Taft.

Where classical theories of art associate femininity primarily with the power of seduction\, these artists explore an active female observer that negotiates a complex\, polymorphous range of positions between the liberated post-feminist subject\, the objectively distanced genderless observer\, and the subjected sex object. \nThe title of the exhibition is borrowed from Herbert Marcuse’s famous book\, a critique of Freud that became a philosophical touchstone of the New Left\, and of the 60s counterculture in general. Marcuse broadly argued that Freud’s separation of the libido and the repressive superego was oversimple\, and that Eros was not merely a chaotic but rather a constructive force. In Marcuse’s vision\, it was the task of classical art to orchestrate a return of the repressed\, not only on the individual but also on the generic-historical level. “The imagination shapes the ‘unconscious memory’ of the liberation that failed\, of the promise that was betrayed.” But in the era of capitalism’s highly structured exchanges\, Marcuse argues\, it is not enough for art to espouse a merely uninhibited or utopian pre-genital sexuality. In order to negate the unfreedom of capitalism\, it is paradoxically necessary to at first represent that very unfreedom within the artistic work. Writing in 1955\, he claimed that “at the present stage\, in the period of total mobilization\, even this highly ambivalent opposition [that of catharsis] seems no longer viable. Art survives only where it cancels itself\, where it saves its substance by denying its traditional form and thereby denying reconcilation…” \nA half century later\, these aesthetic theories have percolated into the mainstream of artistic practice. In wildly disparate fashion\, each of the artists in this exhibition employ a creative strategy that can be described as an oscillation between power and subjection\, in which utopic fantasies of liberation are tempered and sustained by darker fantasies of subjection and unfreedom. These artists take up the reality principle of the photographic camera\, which instantly sketches the known surfaces of things\, and collide it with deeply personal\, unstable\, and hermetic realms of uncivilized fantasy\, which the camera by its very nature ultimately refuses to be fully reconciled with. This failed reconcilation becomes an aesthetic success\, however\, to the extent that it presents a true image of the our own civilization. \nWithin the exhibition: \nHeather Cantrell\, known for her photographic portraiture\, will debut The Looker\, her first video. The piece broadly alludes to the famous sequence in Antonioni’s film Blow-up\, in which a female model is ravished by a male photographer\, and photography becomes a substitute for sex. In Cantrell’s scenario\, however\, it is the female who controls the camera. The artist (and her “double\,” a friend who stands in for her at one point) unfold a scenario in which the female photographer directs and controls a male model\, played by Cantrell’s real-life fiancé. \nDawn Kasper will show a new photographic diptych. Kasper has described the two dimly lit images as existing in relationship to an intimate dreamlike state of consciousness but also as an implied image diary\, referencing the passage of time in monotonous day to day living.  As inspiration for this piece\, she references a passage from Freud’s Civilization and its Discontents: “the struggle between human instincts and the conscience of repression (superego) which is self-repressing trying to follow society’s mores and norms…” \nTricia Lawless Murray will exhibit an installation of photographs that explore the theme of masochism. Harshly lit images of the artist’s bruised body are shown alongside landscapes and interiors\, creating a fractured tapestry that depicts a broken narrative addressing sexuality\, desire and loss. \nDavida Nemeroff‘s new work explores the nature of spectatorship through the thematic device of the gorilla habitat at the Los Angeles Zoo. Large scale color photographs made with a consumer camera are mounted onto a sculptural support of intersecting planes\, placing the gorillas near life size. The photographs are at once formal motion studies\, self-conscious meditations on the act of display\, and comments on the zoo as a constructed metaphor for primitive desire. \nAmy Sampson will show two new large works. First\, the large installation The Last Photo I Took of Heather is an sprawling archive of photographs of the artist’s friend and occasional muse. Produced over a period of a decade\, the images mix fact with fiction\, dress-up with undress\, and intimacy with estrangement\, narrating a tumultuous relationship in a complex\, diaristic style. Second\, the sculpture Total Depravity is a lifesize sculptural casting of the artist’s own naked body\, covered in sushi\, displayed on a glass table. Evoking the international feminist furor over nyotaimori\, the Japanese practice of serving sushi off of a nude model\, the sculpture calls into the question the very act of aesthetic consumption. \nThe exhibition will be accompanied by a makeshift photocopied lettersize publication\, which does not document the work in the exhibition so much as expand upon its multiple contexts. The publication responds to the expectations surrounding a group show catalogue\, but explicitly channels the production style of early 90s zines\, at the pivotal moment when affordable desktop publishing was radically transforming the visual style of DIY print production. The publication will include contributions from each of the artists\, along with texts from Eric Kroll and John Tottenham. Copies will be available for purchase at the gallery. \nPersonnel \nHeather Cantrell is best known for her photographic portraiture\, which considers the relationships between notions of self\, social status\, public performance\, and collective identity. She has had solo exhibitions at Kinkead Contemporary (Los Angeles)\, MOT International (London)\, Newman Popiashvilli (New York\, NY)\, sixspace (Los Angeles) and Sandroni Rey Gallery (Los Angeles). Group shows include Wonderland Art Space (Copenhagen\, Denmark)\, curated by Paul Pys; The Luckman Fine Arts Complex at CSULA (Los Angeles)\, curated by Annie Buckley; the 18th Street Art Center (Los Angeles)\, curated by Ciara Ennis and CCA Wattis Institute (Oakland); and the exhibition Likeness: Portraits of Artists by Other Artists\, curated by Matthew Higgs. Reviews of her work have been published in Artforum\, New York Times\, Frieze\, LA Weekly\, and the Los Angeles Times. Born in Louisville\, Kentucky\, Cantrell received her MFA from UCLA in 2001 and her BFA from the Maryland Institute\, College of Art in 1995. \nDawn Kasper is well known for her performances that explore language\, subjectivity\, the body\, and cultural norms of behavior. She has performed and exhibited at galleries and institutions including the Migros Museum Für Genenwartskunst in Zurich\, LISTE Basel\, the J. Paul Getty Museum\, Art Basel Art Positions\, Miami\, LACMA\, LACE\, The Hammer\, MOCA\, Newman Popiashvili Gallery\, New York\, Anna Helwing Gallery\, Honor Fraser Gallery\, Circus Gallery\, Leo Koenig Inc.\, Projekte\, New York. Her videos have been screened at Art in General\, New York; Copy Gallery\, Philadelphia; and David Castillo Gallery\, Miami. Kasper is one of the founding members of Human Resources. \nTricia Lawless Murray uses photography\, video\, and performance to document the interaction between personal fantasy and the mediated world of representation. She is represented by Jancar Gallery in Los Angeles and has exhibited her work in Germany\, Iran\, Poland\, Spain\, and Taiwan. Her work was included in The Collector’s Guide to New Art Photography\, Vol. 2 published in March 2011. She also curated eros/thanatos\, a project containing the photographic work of 36 artists\, which was first exhibited at PØST in Los Angeles before traveling to Project Space Kreuzberg in Berlin and then back to Southern California to be shown as part of the 12 Gauge Series at the Torrance Art Museum. Born and raised along the coast in Southern California\, she completed her BA in the History of Art at UC Berkeley and her MFA at the California College of the Arts in San Francisco. \nDavida Nemeroff works with the language of photographic print to explore how pictorial information is literally and metaphorically framed. She holds a BFA in Photographic Studies from Ryerson University (2004) and a MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia University (2009.) Her work has been exhibited in Canada\, The United States\, Germany and South Korea.  She is represented by Annie Wharton Los Angeles in the U.S. and by Katharine Mulherin Contemporary Art Projects in Canada. In addition to her work as an artist\, she is active as an organizer\, co-directing the nocturnal platform Night Gallery in Los Angeles. \nAmy Sampson has an MFA from California College of the Arts in Photography and a BFA from Sonoma State University in printmaking.  She has exhibited her photography and short films in the Moscow Biennial\, the Institute of Contemporary Art in San Jose\, The Valand School of Art in Sweden\, Tart Gallery in San Francisco\, the DiRosa Preserve\, Materials and Applications\, Los Angeles\, CA\, and The Silver Lake Film Festival. She is also active in the collaborative EarthBound Moon\, a group that produces site-specific sculptural projects internationally. \nBenjamin Lord received his MFA from UCLA\, and his BA from the University of Chicago. His artwork spans the techniques of photography\, video\, drawing\, sculpture\, and bookmaking. A solo exhibition of his work titled False Positives will be on view at Las Cienegas Projects in Culver City from September 10 – October 8\, 2011. Much of his work takes the form of a collection or sequence of images\, objects and texts. Most recently\, in 2010\, Humaliwo Chambers\, a set of twenty five color photographs in three portfolios\, was published in a large edition as the Norton Christmas Project. As a curator\, last year Lord organized Three Tall Men\, a group show with Erik Bluhm\, Paul Gellman\, and Peter Harkawik at Space 1520 in Hollywood. He is also active as a writer on art\, publishing feature articles in X-TRA\, Afterimage\, and other publications.

NUT speaks to our relationship with dance\, as practice and as a discipline. NUT is MGM’s first dance created during the winter months. It questions the aesthetics of produced dance\, and how it is expected to affect an audience and a venue. NUT takes cues from diverse performance cultures and historical influences such as Motown\, elements of the mid-90’s NYC dance improvisation scene and Tommy DeFrantz’s dance class for undergraduates at MIT. \nMGM Grand (Modern Garage Movement)\, an (un)disciplined art dance group\, started as a threesome in a one-car garage in CA. Since 2005\, MGM has taken themselves on the road\, transforming spaces into arenas for audience-mobilizing dances: garages\, galleries\, alleyways\, schools\, movie theaters\, streams and valleys.
