SUMMARY:William Jones book release w/screening LA plays Itself
DESCRIPTION:Screening of L.A. 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.

SUMMARY:Jedediah Caesar & Shana Lutker - The Trap Door
DESCRIPTION:The Trap Door \nJedediah Caesar and Shana Lutker\nExhibition Dates: November 23 – December 8\, 2011 \nReception with the artists:\nFriday\, December 2\, 2011\n8 – 11 pm\nFeaturing DJs Joey Kotting and Aram Moshayedi\nand special guests D3 \nHuman Resources is pleased to present a display of large art-related items that were previously exhibited in other contexts. 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.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Essential Document
DESCRIPTION:Ian Stanton\nChris Hanke\nKaitlyn Fong\nAshley Blakeney\nBrandon Jardine\nYrneh Gabon Brown\nDevon McDonald-Hyman \nThis document is essential.  \nWe propose that the artworks in this exhibition function as individual documents; they are essential in and of themselves. 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.

SUMMARY:Molly Larkey - The Lost Alphabet\, Pants That Fit\, and Other Implausible Disguises
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Saturday\, October 22nd\, 2011\, 7pm-10pm \nHuman Resources is pleased to present Molly Larkey: The Lost Alphabet\, Pants That Fit\, and Other Implausible Disguises In her new body of work\, Larkey continues to investigate the boundaries between the self and the world\, by looking at the ways the individual is both hidden and revealed through representation in language and clothing. 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
