SUMMARY:mal-dis-tri-bu-tion - Scott Benzel
DESCRIPTION:mal-dis-tri-bu-tion\, a solo show by Scott Benzel\nUpper Gallery \nDownload Maldistribution Publication for ipad/iphone epub format\, control click and save \n‘Maldistribution’\, solo show @ Human Resources at Cottage Home\, Chinatown\, Los Angeles\, through August 6 \nArtforum Review. pdf \nArtReview Oct. 2011 Review \nMaldistribution I pdf \nChecklist pdf Bison Dele pdf \n\n\nmal-dis-tri-bu-tion \n\nn. Faulty distribution or apportionment\, as of resources\, over an area or among a group. Maldistribution is a term generally applied to economic disparity: It most often refers to \nthe inequal distribution of resources or capital. \nIt is a term that also suggests ‘bad’ distribution- a common complaint of producers of cultural artifacts: records\, films\, mass-produced objects. In this context\, it refers to a lack of wide commercial availability of a specific product\, usually through the fault of the distributor. Maldistribution has poor consequences for mass-produced objects and good consequences for their opposite in the realm of distribution: objects of art. \nA work of art actually benefits from lack of accessibility\, from ‘bad distribution’. Its rarity is the source of much of its value. The editioned print or photograph\, the one-of-a- kind painting\, the small-print-run book are all infused with value through scarcity. Simultaneous with scarcity\, publicity plays a vital role in the value equation: the work must be visible through publicity\, reproduction\, and discourse while remaining physically inaccessible. Through the combination of publicity and scarcity\, the work of art’s physical existence is charged with value in a process dialectically opposed to that of the mass-produced object. \nThis is a collection of objects which have been repurposed in ways that generate ambiguity or friction within the continuum of intention and reception. The complex interactions between the roles of producer and distributor of mass-cultural artifacts in creating and reframing meaning inform the ‘afterlives’ of these objects- the ways in which they are processed and used exceed the scope of their original intent\, and contradictory effects ensue when an object’s original meaning-value is unhinged. \nThe complexity of these effects is similar to that of the ‘use’ of art upon reception by the art viewer and provides some insight into contemporary art making\, distribution\, and reception. Increasing difficulty and complexity in determining a static author of a show or an artwork and questions regarding artistic identity\, autonomy\, and artistic license are all outgrowths of these same effects. \nExamples of the phenomenon of ‘repackaging’ -with the term expanded to include censorship and withdrawal from distribution of works\, retooling existing works to maximize commercial opportunity\, counterfeiting\, and the manipulation of financial markets- are juxtaposed with examples of mimicry\, dissimulation\, and Trojan Horses. The resulting objects become articles of ‘bad faith’ in relation to their original intent within the culture: an American distributors’ repackaging and alteration of Jean Pierre Melville’s masterpiece Le Samorai into the subpar The Godson through dubbing and repackaging in an attempt to capitalize on the success of The Godfather and (the film’s star) Alain Delon’s trial for murder; a distributor’s non-sensical attempt to repress references to LSD in the marketing of the entirely LSD-themed film The Trip: the secret inclusion and reattribution on a Beach Boys album of a song written by Charles Manson; the manipulation of the BATS Index\, a financial market\, to create ‘drawings’ on the \n\n\n\n\ncharts; the Stuxnet virus\, a Trojan Horse regarded as the first piece of ‘war software’ -not so different from Linda Benglis’ sexually explicit ad in Artforum magazine which led to the resignation of several editors and creation of October magazine; and the Chinese counterfeiting of the never-produced Nike ‘Heaven’s Gate’ SB Dunk shoes -suppressed prior to release when a media storm ensued regarding the stylistic relationship of the shoes to the Heaven’s Gate cult suicide. \nThe counterfeit presupposes not only the existence but the value of the original- it is useless to counterfeit the worthless. The question of value here supersedes the seemingly a priori question of existence. The ‘afterlives’ of these objects presuppose and incorporate their original uses\, sometimes resolving their internal contradictions\, more often leading to a state of ambiguity and suspended animation: the objects’ are ‘value- added’ through misuse.

SUMMARY:Queering Sex
DESCRIPTION:Queering Sex is a performance and video exhibition that features the work of artists who are dealing with gender and sexuality. This cross-generational\, trans-historical video program explores sex and sexuality via ideas and actions related to performance\, and thereby highlighting a relationship between performativity and identity. The exhibition includes the participation of over 40 artists from Los Angeles\, New York\, and abroad. \nA word from co-organizer and artist Kathryn Garcia: \nNowadays everything is queer; there are very few new frontiers of queer-dom yet to be explored. Probably because we’ve been there already. Masculinity\, femininity yeah we got that; we know the two from top to bottom\, left to right\, up down all around\, and from both sides. Men adopt the feminine\, women adopt the feminine\, men adopt the masculine\, women adopt the masculine – and now we’ve finally gotten to the point where we are adopting children. Milk won the Oscar\, James Franco kissed Sean Penn and probably Klaus Biesenbach as well or so the rumor goes. The Kids are All Right is all anyone could talk about for a while (although the film retreats safely back into heteronormative stereotypes). Until A.L Steiner dropped the bomb and shot a Community Action Center art “porn” and showed it at a Chelsea gallery\, then THAT was all anyone could talk about. AA Bronson curates a “queer ” Film Series at MoMA with no womyn in it and dykes start grumbling\, then we have the queers fighting amongst themselves for inclusion and so on and so forth\, a not-so-welcome throwback to the F.H.A.R . To make a very long story short – we’ve made some progress\, we’re doing it – we’re here and we’re queer. But perhaps the only thing queer about being queer at this point is the actual word “queer” and what does that mean anymore anyway when uh\, it’s all supposedly okay now?!! The kids are all right\, let’s go bare back in the mountains — We’re mainstream folks! G A S P — Normalcy oh N to the O. PANIC — Should dykes start fucking men and queens vice versa to break out of the neat little categories we’ve been placed in (or created for ourselves) and regain our queer-NESS? Because at this point with all of the stereotypes in place\, a queer fucking the opposite sex is what really seems queer. The point is what we’re doing today is no longer just queer (yes there’s a little bit of that ) but let’s be honest\, queer has become so prevalent that even my straight friends qualify. What we are as a whole is POLY: meaning more than one\, and that’s really all we’ve ever been\, because honestly it’s about inclusiveness\, not separation\, not binaries\, we’re not Queer because they’re Normal\, to us it is all valid (as long as it’s dirty). So we hope that you will join us at Human Resources to explore the multifarious meanings of the word SEX. \nSincerely\, \nKG \nAMAZING PERFORMANCE LINE-UP: \nJune 24   FINE ART UNION (Norway) \nJune 25   MATT GREENE (Los Angeles) \n                TALL PAUL \n                 U.S. Premiere of “9 Days of Cry Out” by TOSHINORI TANAKA \nJune 26   SPHINX (New York) \nJuly 2      DAWN KASPER (Los Angeles) \nPLUS MANY MORE SURPRISES and VIDEOS by: \nTheo Adams\, Skip Arnold\, CHOKRA\, Coco Dolle\, Zackary Drucker\, Juan Pablo Echeverri\, Fine Art Union\, Gordon Flores\, Kathryn Garcia\, Paul Gellman\, Katy Grannan\, Wynne Greenwood\, David Jones\, Dawn Kasper\, Brian Kenny\, Rosalie Knox\, Lynn Hershman Leeson\, Benjamin Alexander Huseby and Lars Laumann\, Bruce La Bruce\, Danielle Levitt\, Lovett/Codagnone\, Manon\, Nadja Verena Marcin\, Lucas Michael\, Slava Mogutin\, Tameka Norris\, ORLAN\, Maria Petschnig\, Genesis Breyer P-Orridge\, Hunter Reynolds\, Natalie Rodgers\, Michael Rudnick\, Ira Sachs\, Rafael Sanchez\, Carolee Schneemann\, Scottee\, Michael Sharkey\, Jack Smith\, Matthew Stone\, Toshinori Tanaka\, Tobaron Waxman\, Marnie Weber\, Samuel White\, Martha Wilson\, Rona Yefman… and more! \nQueering Sex considers how artists across generations are using sex as a way to understand and explore what lies at the core of one’s identity. Among the works included are a select group of videos created during the sexual revolution of the 1970s and the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s- both extremely significant decades that propelled the advent of identity and queer politics. We are intent on bringing together a disparate group of artists to open up the critical and institutional discourses surrounding these ideas. Instead of proposing one strict agenda\, the exhibition’s inter-generational and cross-cultural approach allows there to be room for numerous points of view. Inherent to the very nature of the content\, oftentimes the works in this exhibition directly or indirectly challenge normative binaries\, patriarchal institutions and other systems of control that consciously or unconsciously affect us. \nThe title of the exhibition is meant to expand upon queer notions of sex and challenge the idea of queer vs normal. For years\, the word could not have been used without derogatory connotations. Even before it was reclaimed by the gay community as a sign of defiance\, it was also used to define anything that was considered deviant\, outsider and/or abnormal. According to Judith Butler\, queer is “a site of collective contestation\, the point of departure for a set of historical reflections and futural imaginings”. In Queering Sex\, with its inter-generational approach\, we are positing that queer exists on multiple planes of non-linearity and is beyond hetero and homo-normative distinctions. Queer is an idea that is constantly evolving\, changing\, and adapting to its current climate. \nAs a whole\, Queering Sex proposes the question\, what does it mean to be “queer” nowadays? \n\n  \n\n\n\nLeft: Tall Paul (Gellman)\, curators Sarvia Jasso and Kathryn Garcia\, artist Matt Greene\, and Human Resources cofounder Eric Kim. Right: Fine Art Union. \n\n\nON THE EVENING of June 24\, as lawmakers legalized same-sex marriage in New York\, a group of artists and activists on the opposite coast were instigating a less normative (though perhaps no less traditional) celebration of sexuality: the opening night of “Queering Sex\,” a weeklong performance and video series at the downtown Los Angeles nonprofit Human Resources. While the event-cum-exhibition didn’t start any fires with the boilerplate press-release “positing” that “queer exists on multiple planes of non-linearity and is beyond hetero and homo-normative distinctions\,” the lineup itself comprised a group of folk whose varying practices demonstrate a happily nuanced take on sex (as a critical and aesthetic tool)\, with special emphasis on historical constructions of queerness\, the hyperbolic performance of “outness\,” and our (hopefully) evolving relationships to genders and identities. True to form\, the sizable crowd that spilled out of the gallery (a former movie theater in Chinatown) resembled the young\, aggressively polysexual (trans)demographic that curators (and Vicemagazine “power couple”) Kathryn Garcia and Sarvia Jasso aimed to represent: women in tailored blazers and work boots; men in girdles and Fluevogs; dads with babies; babes with daddies; femmes\, womyn\, twinks\, dykes\, beards\, “straights\,” a lady in a vagina costume—but mostly typical arty Eastsiders. People comfortable with quotation marks. \nThe exhibition commenced (after a successful Kickstarter campaign) with a screening to set the feel: works by Genesis Breyer P-Orridge\, Orlan\, Skip Arnold\, Nadja Verena Marcin\, Marnie Weber\, and Lovett/Codagnonem\, among many others. But I missed all that. So I jumped into the fray via a performance by the Norwegian collaborative Fine Art Union (artists Synnøve G. Wetten and Annette Stav Johanssen). The masked\, bald-capped glamazons crooned\, screamed\, toppled a cardboard monolith\, simulated fighting and fucking\, hurled turdlike rubber wads at the audience\, and smeared “menstrual-y” crimson paint onto each other’s faces. Against a backdrop of Freudian projections (a black hole\, a snake)\, Fine Art Union performed what could be considered a “girling” of femininity\, or id-like primitivism\, or the resignification of sexual subjectivity . . . but maybe it was all just a drag. After the performance\, artist Brian Getnick—the only viewer to throw turds back at the performers—whispered\, “I wish it was as cathartic for us as it was for them.” \n\n\n\nLeft: Sphinx in performance. Right: Artist Bobbi Woods and Joe Deutch with Semiotext(e)’s Hedi El Kholti \n. \n\n\nMatt Greene’s performance the following night was a comparatively repressed affair. As the audience found their seats\, two severe-looking women in black—artists Lisa Anne Auerbachand Jennifer Cohen—appeared carrying trays of meatballs (veggie and beef) to satiate the crowd. As a black-clad Greene joined them\, they took to a table at the center of the gallery and proceeded to read a hypnotizing narrative of dislocated desire: “There are those who in soft eunuchs place their bliss and shun the scrubbing of a bearded kiss [. . .] beautiful\, take-charge type females believe in loving but old-fashion type methods when dealing with haughty husbands [. . .] cuckoldry is not all that it is cracked up to be.” Playing the joyless ballbusters\, the women riffed on Greene’s self-deprecating delivery by subtly altering their vocal range from monotone to snobbish taunt\, at times almost panting. “I’ve been researching castration anxiety\, which Freud called the root of all fetishes\,” Greene offered after the action. “I also recently watched The Empress Dowager\, and the plot involves a fake eunuch. There’s a lot of comedy potential with a fake eunuch.” Slapstick may have been a more appropriate term. \nSpeaking of terms\, there was a lot of chatter all weekend around the word “queering”: “The queerest thing about the idea of queer is the word itself\,” summed up artist Spencer Douglass\, who then added\, “Why is queer so gay?” More clues came Sunday afternoon at a release party at a private home in Los Feliz (unrelated to Human Resources) for the fifth issue of writer Sarah Lehrer-Graiwer’s zine Pep Talk\, a collection of brilliant wordsmith Bruce Hainley’s writings and letters. The issue’s introduction offered a list of keywords for “getting in the mood”: ANAL\, LANA\, WARHOL\, FAGGOTRY\, ENGENDER\, (DIS)EMBODIED\, RAMIFICATIONS\, (GET A) LOAD\, BLEW (MY MIND)\, BLUELY\, BEAUTY\, AVITAL RONELL\, WITHDRAWAL . . . As I caught up with partygoers\, it seemed that just about everyone had their own publication to talk about: artist Brian Kennon’s latest 2nd Cannons release Alice Cooper/Suzi Simpson; artist William E. Jones’s Halsted Plays Himself; books in the works by Semiotext(e)’s Hedi El Kholti\, ZG Press’s Rosetta Brooks\, and art historian Jane McFadden; and more to come from Hainley on Sturtevant. Reflecting on the cool\, relaxed scene\, writer Jennifer Krasinski and artist Jeff Burton observed that only in LA do intellectuals sit around a swimming pool\, smoke pot\, and talk literature. “People in New York just don’t believe that this is what a typical party is like out here\,” mused Krazinski. And she was right—this was the third pool party I had stopped by over the weekend (and\, sadly\, the only one without skinny-dippers). \n\n\n\nLeft: Artist Dawn Kasper in performance. Right: Artist Jennifer Cohen. \n\n\nI slipped away from the bookishly chic affair and cruised back to “Queering Sex” in time to catch the last jewel tones of Jack Smith’s Normal Love flickering in lapidary complexity\, reflecting that parallel world where curiosities shape-shift into conventions. Garcia gave props to Gladstone Gallery for facilitating the loan of the film. “The fate of Jack Smith’s archive was so uncertain.” The rarely screened\, never-finished follow-up to the infamous/infectious Flaming Creatures was a wise inclusion in the program. Its decadent denizens and simulated screen sirens delivered the perfect filmic appositeness of (and also\, strangely\, escape from) so much queering. Alongside the many inclusions of “Queering Sex”—absurdist rock-’n’-rollerblader Tall Paul (Gellman); New York femdom-metal band Sphinx; the frenetic\, abstrusely feminist\, and gravity-defying actions of Dawn Kasper; the hypnotically hetero stoner slowness of Joel Kyack’s band Street Buddy; and countless other videos—Normal Lovestands out as a touchstone for generations fighting against sexual conformity in all its articulations. Let’s just hope the next generation of polysexuals\, et al.\, can plug a little realness into the new “normal.” \n— Catherine Taft

SUMMARY:Say You're An Artist - Mark Roeder and Johnnie Cochran Middle School Artists
DESCRIPTION:Human Resources is pleased to present Say You’re an Artist\, an exhibition of new and recent work by art students from Johnnie L. Cochran\, Jr. Middle School. Organized by artist and teacher Mark Roeder\, the exhibition will feature a collaborative installation process culminating in an opening reception on Saturday\, June 4\, from 4:00 to 8:00 PM. \nFeaturing drawings\, paintings\, collage\, and sculptures by twenty-six artists\, the exhibition traces the students’ inquiry into artistic perception\, creative expression\, historical and cultural context\, and aesthetic valuing. Together\, students and teacher have puzzled-out a profound exploration of human subjectivity and its relation to the external\, objective world. \nJohnnie L. Cochran\, Jr. Middle School\, through a collaborative team effort\, is committed to developing the whole child as a successful life-long learner by creating a positive school culture through the effective delivery of a rigorous standards-driven curriculum based on assessed student needs. \n“Student art exhibitions allow students to share their work and visual arts experiences with peers and adults. Exhibited work needs to include examples of works in progress in addition to finished pieces.”\n–California State Board of Education\, Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission

SUMMARY:Paul Pescador
DESCRIPTION:Paul Pescador \n\nMay 14-June 1\, 2011\nOpening May 14\, 7-10pm. Film will screen promptly at 9pm.\n\nIn 1\, 1 1/2\, 2\, the space will be used as a theater\, art gallery\, and screening room simultaneously. The show explores the relationship between live events\, performances\, everyday objects\, and their photographic documents. These photographic documents are then used as the source material for the creation of new social interventions. Performances become images. Images become books. Books become films. As these works exist in a constant cycle of use\, the document becomes both an archive and a directive for new events. 1\, 1 1/2\, 2 is a culmination of a one year investigation\, which explores the use of numerical systems to dictate social dynamics and personal relationships. The social relationships in this project being 1: the individual\, 1 1/2: the individual and remnants or absence of another\, and 2: the couple\, the pair\, or the double. Each of the works are in\ndialogue with one another to inform as well as complicate the structure of the exhibition as a whole.\nAccompanying the exhibition is premier of the film 1\, 1 1/2\, 2\, which will screen once a day throughout the duration of the exhibition.\n\nPaul Pescador is a Los Angeles based artist\, art organizer\, and filmmaker. His interest in small-scale actions and gestures manifests in the form of photographic objects\, performance events\, and curated exhibitions. He co-directs Workspace\, a project space in Lincoln Heights\, and is an MFA candidate at the University of California\, Irvine.

SUMMARY:Vessel: Suzanne Wright and Tony Payne
DESCRIPTION:ACP @ Human Resources / Cottage Home\nruns from – April 7- April 30\n410 cottage home street. LA CA 90012\nin China town\n… \nArtist Curated Projects is pleased to present the work of Tony Payne and Suzanne Wright. Each artists’ work is inherently concerned with the body though their approach to the subject is vastly different.\nUsing text\, Tony Payne’s work explores both the actual letterforms and their various levels of context – the text / image is rendered in a painterly fashion – using hand made materials (pigment) with elements directly related to the body (it’s host\, the interior)\, saliva\, blood\, semen. Words (often parts of lyrics\, found text or elements of the artist’s dreams) subconsciously emerge to become subjects. The letters somehow both stand for\, and come from the body\, mirroring the struggles (the elation\, the power) within. \nIn Wright’s collages and drawings\, structures simulate and fuse with the body. This body is not always represented but elements of its framework resonate in the images. Function is removed from the architectures depicted and they are often reduced to orificial devices. Often Wright’s initial excitement when beginning a body of work\, referencing the experience of Penthouse as a child\, becomes the investigated subject that is rooted in the comfort of evocative memories\, while also exploring the slippage between imagined progress in the 70’s versus the reality of our present experience of the predicted and not yet realized future. \nFor more information please visit http://artistcuratedprojects.com/VESSEL

SUMMARY:Tree Farm (Video From Oregon)
DESCRIPTION:8pm – 10pm \nTree Farm (video from Oregon)\nFeaturing work by:\nMike Bray\nTom Greenwood\nMK Guth\nJared Haug\nGretchen Hogue\nRose McCormick\nMatt Nixon\nMelody Owen\nPatrick Rock\nJesse Sugarmann \nTucked up and away on a geographic shelf\, Oregon is a clouded and\nintrospective state. Adopting the term “Pacific Wonderland” as an\nofficial identity\, Oregon mistook Carroll’s rabbit hole for a\npolitical model early on\, leading the state to develop its imagination rather than its commerce. Currently\, Oregon leads the nation in only three ways: percentage of children who are read to every day\, number of Starbucks per capita\, and percentage of deceased cremated rather than buried. And these numbers effectively outline the pan-Oregonian: over-nurtured\, over-caffeinated\, bookish\, and carrying with him the ashes of the dead.

SUMMARY:Divine Violence
DESCRIPTION:Human Resources is pleased to present Divine Violence\, an exhibition featuring a workshop and week-long collaborative installation process culminating in an opening event on Friday\, January 14\, 2011.  The opening event will feature a reading by Maggie Nelson from her soon to be released book\, The Art of Cruelty: A Reckoning\, a performance titled Cordon Off the Contempt in a Word Compartment (and Other Whispering Moments) by Joshua Kit Clayton and video and photographic works by Sayler/Morris and an installation created by Sayler/Morris with the Divine Violence workshop collaborators: Sofia Arreguin\, Arely Villegas\, Sean Grattan\, Sarah Wang\, Nora Berman\, Asher Hartman\, Giles Miller\, Malene Dam\, Sandy Medina\, Solomon Bothwell\, Sille Storihle\, Kate Wolf\, Ko Kawashima. \nDuring the week prior to the opening event Sayler/Morris will conduct a workshop titled Divine Violence (An Object Lesson) with a group of collaborators. The group will read and consider excerpts from seminal texts on violence and collect artifacts to incorporate into an installation at Human Resources Gallery.  Questions addressed by the group and exhibition include:  \nWhy are we attracted to violence?  Why are we repulsed by it?\nCan we find representations of the sort of invisible\, systemic\, “objective” violence that Zizek articulates in his book Violence? Does that help anything?  Is the “dialectic of concealment and revelation\,” as Maggie Nelson writes\, crucial to our understanding (and mitigation) of violence?\nIs some form of violence helpful or even necessary to achieve social or political change?  In other words\, can violence ever be justified (something Walter Benjamin does under the aegis of Divine Violence)?\nFrom Saturday January 8th until the opening on January 14th\, the gallery will be open and viewers are invited to witness the progress of the installation.  Sayler/Morris will be “in residence” at the gallery\, studying violence\, working on the installation and engaging visitors.  In the gallery there will be violence mediation terminals\, as well as daily screening of films at 2 pm.   Gallery times are Saturday\, January 8\, 12-2 pm (no screening); January 10 – January 18\, 12-5 pm (closed Sunday). \nScreenings will be announced on the blog for the program: divineviolence.wordpress.com. \nThe opening event on January 14th will be from 7:00 to 10:00 with performance by Joshua Kit Clayton at 7:30 and reading/Q&A with Maggie Nelson at 8:30. \nClayton’s video-directed group exercise/meditation/conversation\, Cordon Off the Contempt in a Word Compartment (and Other Whispering Moments)\, investigates the uses and values of contempt\, hygiene\, language\, and importantly\, of whispering as a means of containment\, paradoxically\, through the process of propagation. The hour long video asks audience members to consider and/or discuss their own relationship to contempt and other topics within the space of the video itself.

SUMMARY:Crying Over Spilled Milk
DESCRIPTION:ALEXIS DISSELKOEN \nBRIAN GETNICK \nPAUL PESCADOR \nOrganized by Paul Pescador \nCrying Over Spilled Milk\, is a one night performance event featuring the work of Alexis Disselkoen\, Brian Getnick\, and Paul Pescador\, Crying Over Spilled Milk\, will focus on site-specific situational and interactive performances. The event will examine the creation of performative objects as a means to develop live performance. Whether its costumes\, props\, or even photographs\, the event will focus on the power of an object to provoke and encourage performativity. \nHuman Resources will be divided into three separate spaces: hallway\, gallery\, and back courtyard. Each performers will separate their piece into one of these location. As the event unfolds varying parts of each performance will begin to move\, by the end of the event: performers\, objects\, and audience will begin to blur into one another. \nThe two hour performance will be begin at 7PM. \nALEXIS DISSELKOEN \nThrough the use of group activities and event based situations Alexis Disselkoen strives to connect contemporary issues of identity and the scholarship of interpersonal relations. She works around constructions of power that inform art production\, viewership and participation by creating encounters that are participatory and directed by the people that are involved. Simple devices and material become the atmosphere and space that viewers must negotiate with when experiencing the work. \nBRIAN GETNICK \nBrian Getnick is a Los Angeles based artist and the director of THE BALLET\, a performance troupe of hand made costumes. These costumes\, with their sculptural details\, are the primary text for each performance. Through collaborate\, Getnick explores how materials can translate subconscious desires from creator to performer. Getnick develops his performances with local dancers\, actors\, musicians and artists. These collaborations open up beyond a singular pathology and into an arena in which the interactions between performer\, object\, context and audience merge. \nPAUL PESCADOR \nPaul Pescador conducts small-scale gestures and performances that occur in both social and private environments\, such as homes\, sidewalks\, and galleries. The actions are small and lend themselves to repetition as a means to understand\, activate\, and disrupt a surrounding environment. Whether these events occur in front of an audience in a gallery or alone in a park\, they are documented with a camera. The camera becomes the primary witness to the event. The event wouldn’t occur if it wasn’t recorded and the photograph without the action. They are linked and rely on one another to exist.

SUMMARY:Two Performances w/Nicholas Grider\, Ryan Majestic\, Aaron Drake\, David Earle\, Elana Mann\, and Juliana Snapper
DESCRIPTION:Masculinity Cycle (Houdini)\nNicholas Grider with Ryan Majestic\nWed. Oct. 20th\, 8pm\nHuman Resources\, 510 Bernard in Chinatown \nFor this performance I’ll restage a famous Houdini rope challenge which goes like this: three audience volunteers tie me to a chair with 100 feet of rope.  Then I escape (probably).  Where Houdini would have moved on\, though\, we’ll go back to the beginning and do the whole thing over again and again with new volunteers each time until either I or the audience give up.  I really need (male) audience volunteers for this so come prepared to get me secured to that chair. \nOcean of Noise\nAaron Drake\, David P. Earle\, Elana Mann with Juliana Snapper\nThurs. Oct. 21st\, 8pm\nHuman Resources \nOcean of Noise is an evening of music\, sound art\, and performance by the above-named artists working at the intersections of these media and work with ideas of disconnection and miscommunication.  Ranging from answering machine messages to muffled lectures to reconstructed opera\, each work in the event speaks to something that can get lost\, orally and aurally\, during human communication.
