SUMMARY:Look Who's Talking Now
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Sunday\, June 23rd  6-10pm \nGallery Hours: Monday\, June 24 – Saturday\, June 29   12-6pm \nPerformances by Malinche and Figgy \nDJ Set by Paxico Records \nThe more intricately connected that people are to one another\, the more their ideas and projects appear to follow similar patterns. Look Who’s Talking Now focuses on painting as its principal medium and challenges homogeneity in an increasingly globalized world. By showcasing the work of artists based in Mexico City and Los Angeles\, the exhibition proposes that the ability to share diverse perspectives not only helps dismantle cultural stereotypes but also encourages a revision to the ever-evolving definition of Latinx Art. The featured artists in this exhibition have roots in Mexico\, Guatemala\, Puerto Rico\, and El Salvador. Together they explore a variety of mediums and illustrate the wide range of interests and cultural influences in their work. \nLook Who’s Talking Now begins by showcasing abstract works of art that allude to a historical break from hyper-realistic paintings\, followed by works that portray universal archetypes such as family units\, romantic relationships\, as well as contemporary mass-media images like soccer teams and fashion brand logos. The exhibition then transitions into a unique selection of portraits depicting people who have played significant roles in the lives of the artists\, including friends\, classmates\, and even strangers. Finally\, the show concludes with experimental works that move away from the canvas altogether. The artists in the last section demonstrate color theories used in modern art\, explore bodily fluids to create pigments\, and experiment with interactive video work. As the viewer progresses through the exhibition\, they will experience the disintegration of paintings that will evolve into more experimental works. \n\nThe exhibition suggests that globalization does not need to equal homogeneity and that the possibility to expand the definition of Latinx Art is endless. It views history as a living entity that requires constant reappraisal in order to present art that does not belong to a single genre or medium. \nFeaturing work by: Liza Feurtado\, Bryan Valdez\, Maria Fragoso\, Angela Leyva\, Marek Wolfryd\, Francisco Palomares\, Circe Irasema\, Jackie Amezquita\, Derek Holguin\, Ginger Quintanilla\, and Lauren D’Amato \nCurated by Nahui Garcia

SUMMARY:Brian Getnick: Poem for the community
DESCRIPTION:Poem for the community \nsculptures and works on paper by Brian Getnick \n  \nExhibition dates: Wednesday\, June 19—Friday\, June 21 \nGallery hours: 5pm-9pm or by appointment (call 773.351.1888) \n  \nIn the fall of 2018\, artist Brian Getnick presented Punishment’s Place—an ensemble performance wherein the shattered pieces of a monument to Prometheus Bound were assembled to the beat of a chant. At the core of that script was the “Poem for the community\,” a premonition of impending violence against artists. On June 19th through the 21st\, Getnick presents a display of ceramics\, large tapestries and works on paper that further explore the precarity of artists working within an era of punitive logic. The monument to Prometheus Bound will also be on display. This event is a preview of a solo show and performance debuting at HRLA in the fall of 2019. \nArtwork will be up for sale with proceeds supporting the artist’s project and HRLA.

SUMMARY:W00DY / Stevie Richards / Sleep Clinic / In-House Pharmacy
DESCRIPTION:Sonoptik & Human Resources present euphonic journey \nW00DY [pgh]\nStevie Richards [aus] (aka Cleaning Lady)\nSleep Clinic\nIn-House Pharmacy \nFREE FREE FREE \nThere will also be an installation in place by Stalgia Grigg for all to enjoy. \n————– \nW00DY [pgh]\nhttps://w00dy.bandcamp.com/ \nW00dy from Pittsburgh is attempting to bring absurdity to the dance floor with fast bpm’s\, high energy polyrhythms\, and wacky samples. She sees the dance floor as a place for healing\, and therefore writes music inspired by moments of catharsis.\n________ \nStevie Richards [aus]\nhttps://soundcloud.com/cleaninglady\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kO7ZaPprc_c \nA veteran of improvised music\, Stevie Richards (aka Cleaning Lady) has been a regular of the Melbourne\, Australian music scene for more than three decades\, along with running sound at the world’s longest running weekly improvised music night ‘Make It Up Club’ which has ran weekly for more than 21yrs. \nStevie brings a deft style of improvised music using a handmade Serge modular system to Los Angeles\, not to be missed.\n________ \nSleep Clinic\nhttps://sleepclinic.bandcamp.com \nSleep Clinic (aka Jeff Swearengin) produces some of the most succinct IDM Los Angeles has to offer. When Sleep Clinic isn’t making his own music he can be found producing\, mixing and mastering a larger variety of Los Angeles bands. And we should mention in his “free time” he’s touring and playing live as a member of Front Line Assembly 😉 \n________ \nIn-House Pharmacy\nhttps://laurenbousfieldanyev3r.bandcamp.com/\nhttps://www.omiindustriies.com/ \nIn-House Pharmacy are one of LA’s newest\, exciting electronic duos. Joining forces are skilled producer Lauren Bousfield and Electronics genius Naomi Mitchell. \n

SUMMARY:Stalgia Grigg: is a weapon and we
DESCRIPTION:opening reception: fri june fourteen : seven to ten\non view sat june fifteen—tues june eighteen : noon to six \nThe ideological ground that Logic and Rationality stand on is slipping away. Liberalism has rallied to defend the sacred ground of “truth\,” while slowly realizing it may have been a constructed fiction all along. At the same time\, a reactionary Right (including a nascent fascist movement) has weaponized fuzzy logic\, finding a unified front in the incomprehensible. In this cultural space\, the Left struggles with the stasis generated by an inability to resolve a contradictory multiplicity\, much less shift this resolution into a true consensus. \nIn his first US solo show\, Stalgia Grigg exhibits work which draws upon a long lineage of artistic practices that reject sense-making. He extends this tradition with game engine simulations\, emergent non-human intelligence\, and machine-generated political outrage. This is not for its own sake\, but towards an understanding of how contradiction\, incoherence\, and looping logic can serve the Left in escaping the stasis of history.

The exhibition’s curation is a love letter to the artists\, intended to bridge the geographical distance\, and emotional longing between continents. \nEvery artwork will be up for sale at a reduced price; all proceeds will be given to the artists\, to a fund supporting Alexiou’s feature film projects (see below) and to HRLA. (Suggested donations at the door – $5-20.) \nHalf of the funds raised will support Telémachos Alexiou’s next feature film projects: The Voice Of An Angel and Emi’s Movie. The Voice Of An Angel is a European arthouse drama about a young Greek actor who is freed of his demons by metamorphosing into a drag persona of his iconic pop star mother. Emi’s Movie is a documentary about the life and work of visionary gallerist\, muse\, cultural producer\, curator\, yogini and writer Emi Fontana. \nCo-hosted by Zak Stone. \nAfterparty with DJs Buckmonster & Kevin Mcgarry \nDoors at 7pm\nPerformance by Christopher Argodale: 7:30pm sharp\nPerformance by Tyler Matthew Oyer: 10:15pm\nDJ sets: 10:30pm \nTelémachos Alexiou was born on January 3\, 1992 on the island of Evvia\, Greece. During his childhood and teens he was trained as a ballroom dancer and won several titles nationally and internationally. At the age of 17 he moved to London\, UK\, to study Communications and Visual Culture and three years later to Berlin where he studied Film Theory at the Freie Universität Berlin and started working as a filmmaker and artist. His diverse body of work includes narrative feature films\, media installations\, performance art and photography. His work is characterized by a dreamy\, surrealistic approach to every day experience and to notions such as identity\, sexuality\, repression and desire.

SUMMARY:WALKING IN THE SUN
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: May 17th – May 19th\, 2019 \nGallery Hours: Friday – Sunday 12:00 – 6:00 PM or by appointment \nHuman Resources LA presents Walking in the Sun an exhibition that centers the experiences of Filipinx American artists and their shared experiences navigating the complexities of colorism in the Asian American Pacific islander (AAPI) communities. \nFilipinx have distinct memories of being told that if they were to be in the sun for too long\, their skin will darken and therefore be ugly. Darker skin in the Philippines is tightly associated with lower social class and undesirability. This viewpoint is informed by a larger issue in AAPI communities in which East Asian or light-skinned Asians are seen in both Asia and America\, as superior in both social standing and media at large. The narratives and voices of darker skinned asians are silenced because of this perspective. Even with the Philippines indispensable role in United States history\, their stories and communities still go unnoticed because of the deep seeded hold that colorism has in both AAPI communities and American society at large. \nBy centering the experience of brown Asian identity\, and more specifically Filipinx American narratives\, this exhibition hopes to act as a catalyst to encouraging Filipinx voices to step out of the shadows and into the sun. \nThe exhibition is curated by Jennelyn Tumalad and Robben Muñoz. \nWork in the exhibition features a wide range of artistic exploration of the effects of colorism in the Filipinx American community: from its history and roots in Spanish and American colonization in the Philippines to dissecting racial slurs that are anchored in minimizing identities to just the color of someone’s skin. Throughout the exhibition\, artwork plays a diverse range of roles in each artist’s own understanding of themselves and their proximity to whiteness. The exhibition features various media—from sculpture to site specific installation. The diversity of media mirrors the diversity of experiences of each of the 12 chosen artists. The artists featured are as follows: \nAnna Liza de Leon Evangelista \nTristan Espinoza \nChristine Hipolito \nFrancis Calimlim \nMaria Villote \nMaryrose C. Mendoza \nMatt Manalo \nRobben Muñoz \nSherwin Rio \nTala Mateo \nWalking in the Sun will also feature a multidisciplinary sound and dance performance collaboration by local artists Mark Golamco and Cirilo Domine.

SUMMARY:Phil Minton & Audrey Chen • Swinging Chandeliers • Corey Fogel
DESCRIPTION:UPEND  presents \nPHIL MINTON & AUDREY CHEN (London/Berlin)\nSWINGING CHANDELIERS\nCOREY FOGEL \ndoors 8pm\nsound 9pm\ndonate $10 \nPHIL MINTON /  AUDREY CHEN DUO\n✶ Los Angeles debut ✶ \nPhil Minton (b. 1940\, Torquay\, England) is a improvisor whose contorted vocal emissions have pushed beyond the boundaries of genre. The past four decades have heard his glossolaliac gurgles\, squeaks\, and deconstructed operatic flights operate within the realms of Free Improvisation\, the body of Jazz itself\, and varied electro-acoustic activities. Over the eras\, he’s collabbed live and on record with an epic list of ace improvisors including Fred Frith\, John Butcher\, Bob Ostertag\, and Joëlle Léandre. To this day (at the end of his 70s!) Minton is a mainstay of London’s Café OTO scene\, and regularly parries in an acoustic vocal duo with Berlin-based improvisor Audrey Chen (b. 1976\, Illinois). With compatible palates\, and complimentary instincts they engage in an instant interplay of queue and chase\, gesture and spittle. Chen herself hyperextends voice\, mining material in between – and beyond – previous utterance. Finding sound via microtones of larynx squeak\, blowing wind turbulence with lip-flip flutters\, and plumming the corporeal with full throated phonation! She has worked with Maria Chavez\, Nate Wooley\, and C. Spencer Yeh among many others. Though Minton and Chen have toured in Europe and U.S. and have cut a couple records together – including a fine duo outing on Sub Rosa – this date marks their first performance in Los Angeles. \nSWINGING CHANDELIERS \nSwinging Chandeliers is the life-duo of reel-to-reel master Joseph Hammer and hypno-visualist Sayo Mitsubishi\, and together they divine a liminal zone of total art and perpetual weirdness. Previous swings have seen Mitsuishi improvise visuals via overhead projector\, unfurling a stream of subconsciousness – drawing simultaneously with each hand. The transparency that scrolls across her platten is more of a match than a metaphor for the looped tape traveling over the heads of Hammer’s rig. \nCOREY FOGEL \nCorey Fogel is a artist and drummer who has clear control over percussive rudiments as well as the will to disrupt the flow. Setting and breaking expectations\, breaking out of rhythm\, and finding ways to surprise with what-to-hit and what-to-drop\, whether it’s a beat or a wrench – either in the system or\, yes\, literally a wrench – Fogel is continually active locally and across the country and the pond improvising and on recent tours with the versatile unit that is Julia Holter’s band and the Tasha Wada Group. Fogel’s solo outings in town\, however\, are curiously infrequent\, and on this auspicious occasion he’ll share some of his instant art idioms.

SUMMARY:Theo Triantafyllidis: Anti-Gone
DESCRIPTION:Anti-Gone\nA Performance in Mixed-Reality by Theo Triantafyllidis\nMay 11th & 12th\, 7pm\nDuration: 3 acts\, 60mins\, no intermission \nIn a post-climate change world\, environmental catastrophe has become normalized. Cities are sunken\, yet the vestiges of late-capitalist culture – consumerism\, inequality\, social unrest – live on\, clinging like barnacles to the ruins of civilization. Spyda and Lynxa are a couple navigating this world frictionlessly. On their sailboat\, they glide from shopping to movies to psychedelic drugs. In a damaged world where you can have anything you want\, what’s the cost? \nTheo Triantafyllidis’ debut feature-length performance\, Anti-Gone\, is a sprawling experiment in 3D world-building\, real-time simulation\, interactivity and theatricality. Adapted from the eponymous graphic novel by Connor Willumsen\, Triantafyllidis takes the idiosyncratic narrative and visual style of Anti-Gone as a platform to explore the possibilities and limitations of what was once called “Theater”. As Triantafyllidis re-creates the world of Willumsen’s Anti-Gone as a series of 3D scenes\, performers Matthew Doyle\, Lindsey Normington and Zana Gankhyug embark on improvisational excursions in this mediated world. The performers explore dramatic tropes from absurdist theater to psychological realism and somatic awareness\, while the game engine performs alongside them. The actors presence is augmented and complicated by virtual reality headsets\, motion capture suits and audio DSP. Using these tools\, Triantafyllidis directs and shapes the world that is being presented to both the performers and the audience in real time. Anti-Gone asserts theatricality as a new way of thinking fictionally\, as real space is re-incorporated into subjective game logics. The audience is given a theater re-invigorated with new techniques for pleasure and play as the world outside simulates its own destruction… \nBased on the original comic book by Connor Willumsen\nProduced by Matthew Doyle\nStarring Lindsey Normington\, Zana Gankhuyag\, Matthew Doyle\nLighting Design by Connor Childs\nSound by Jeffrey Alan Scudder\nProduction Assistant Polina Miliou\nSpecial Thanks to Mari Spirito\, Celia Hollander\, Luke Fischbeck. \nTheo Triantafyllidis is represented by The Breeder\, Athens and Meredith Rosen\, New York. \nWith the support of UCLA Design | Media Arts\, bitforms gallery.\nTechnical sponsorship by Barco Projectors\, Noitom MoCap. \nAdvance tickets may be purchased here

SUMMARY:William Basinski + Lawrence English: Selva Oscura
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nWilliam Basinski + Lawrence English: Selva Oscura \nWednesday May 8th\nat\n9pm \nPlease note: this is a special seated performance with limited capacity. Advance tickets are recommended. \nticket link\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/william-basinski-lawrence-english-selva-oscura-tickets-61247423693 \nfacebook event page\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/2425987850747632/ \nFrom their respective bases in Los Angeles and Brisbane\, William Basinski and Lawrence English – two crucial figures of ambient music – collaborated remotely\, trading and manipulating sonic materials to create an ever fleeting\, ever unfolding masterwork: Selva Oscura. Released last year by Temporary Residence Ltd.\, the album explores a liminal space at the very edge of beholding\, at once strange and familiar. The phrase Selva Oscura literally translates “as ‘twilight forest\,’ it metaphorically speaks to both those who find themselves on the unfamiliar path and more explicitly the nature of losing one’s way in place and time.” \nJust after twilight on Wednesday May 8th\, the pair convene in the same room in Los Angeles for a rare performance around this cycle\, plumming the resonant space of Human Resources with a shifting pallette of sound. Come catch their perpetual drift.

SUMMARY:Greg Kelley/Jessika Kenney • Rob Noyes • Wilson Shook
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nGREG KELLEY / JESSIKA KENNEY DUO\nROB NOYES\nWILSON SHOOK \ndonate 8\ndoors at 8\nsound at 9 \nFacebook Event Page\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/1203512939823489/ \nGREG KELLEY / JESSIKA KENNEY \nFirst time meeting of a surely astounding duo of two key figures in sound: Trumpet player Greg Kelley – on tour from Seattle – and Jessika Kenney – a whose multivalent voice thankfully spectralizes here in Los Angeles – as it will Friday night with a light touch of electronic accompaniment. Acquainted from their years proximate in Seattle\, and having found a rapport collaborating in a larger group context\, they choose to join together on the occasion of the L.A. stop on Greg Kelley’s (and Rob Noyes’) Spring tour of the West Coast.\n\nDeep listeners have witnessed Greg Kelley deconstruct the trumpet’s timbre down to the thinnest splinter; He’s blown a lexicon of clicks and whispers in radical ‘micro’ projects nmperign and The BSC. The heaviest of heads have heard his horn push thresholds amidst seas of guitar squall in Heathen Shame. Hep jazzies have long dug his flourishes of freedom alongside such figures as Joe McPhee\, Chris Corsano\, and Paul Flaherty\, and Bill Nace.  Greg can extend to the fullest to be sure\, and – quite literally – brings a bag of tricks to each set. As a collaborator\, he ever explores dialogue and dynamics\, is at ease abstracting in delicate sound fields\, and resilient at full throttle.\nWhether singing amidst gamelan tones\, classical Persian music\, the heaviest metal\, or the noisiest fuzz\, Jessika Kenney keenly considers the play of frequencies\, and how song acts as a conduit for words and meaning. Her solo works – as well as projects with her core collaborator Eyvind Kang – offer an audio syncretism that draws from established forms while conjuring new expressions. Her sense of the spectral has been heard in the ensemble of Persian ney master Hossein Omoumi\, as well as at the helm of the Austrian Choir on Sunn O)))’s Monoliths and Dimensions. Though her practice includes many a studied approach\, she finds a continued freedom in musics of rebellion; her brushes with the Indonesian punk scene resonate. \nROB NOYES \nFirst solo Los Angeles performance from Rob Noyes a standout 12-string acoustic player from Boston. Rob certainly fits in the recommended-if-you-like Robbie Basho or John Fahey category\, but so simple a move would belie the creative depths he plums weaving a tapestry of sound only possible in the present day\, and only possible where the weaver is an astute listener of records (and practicer of playing) and mad creative. Byron Coley describes his debut LP The Feudal Spirit on the rarefied Poon Village label thusly: “On the way to developing his own compositional/performance approach\, Noyes sometimes seems to have absorbed an almost infinite reservoir of influences… Mr. Noyes hits a vast array of sub-genres on this album\, and he hits them all pretty damn hard. Rob’s playing carries the weight of many possibly-imaginary forebears\, but the way he smears them all together shows a holistic mastery of touch and imagination…” \nhttps://poonvillage.bandcamp.com/album/the-feudal-spirit \nWILSON SHOOK \nWith a range of avant-moves Saxophonist Wilson Shook plays free and fluid. Whether blipping and bursting\, laying out textural feels\, or blowing asymmetries circular and smooth\, Shook averts the obvious – his heightened-awareness flows direct attention to the very now of sound\, and whet anticipation for what’s next. After more than a decade in Seattle as an improvisor and activist\, he’s now home in Los Angeles where his playing has already gripped a few lucky rooms\, and hopefully many more. Heads\, ears – perk! \nhttps://otherghosts.net/

SUMMARY:Guionnet & Khouri • Chen & Sadja • Guionnet & Kennedy & Hutson
DESCRIPTION:The Unwrinkled Ear Presents \nJean-Luc Guionnet and Lotus Edde Khouri – saxophone and dance \nAFTERBURNER: Audrey Chen and Doron Sadja – voice\, electronics and light \nJean-Luc Guionnet and William Hutson and Jeremy Kennedy – saxophone and electronics and drums \nDoors 8:30/ Music 9 \nJean-Luc Guionnet returns to Los Angeles after two years\, bringing with him a new dance collaboration with Lotus Edde Khouri\, and a new trio that has been incipient in his mind since his last foray in our fair city featuring locals Jeremy Kennedy and William Hutson. \nBerlin-based AFTERBURNER is the collaborative project of vocalist Audrey Chen and audiovisual artist Doron Sadja. A live collaboration for hyper-extended voice\, electronic noise and light\, the group weaves together Chen’s idiosyncratic vocal growls and chirps with Sadja’s dense synthetic noise\, often blurring the line between human- and electronically-generated sound. \nDoron Sadja is an American artist\, composer\, and curator whose work explores modes of perception and the experience of sound\, light\, and space. Often using multichannel or motorized speaker systems and high intensity fog and light\, Sadja crafts immersive performance and installation works that are both playful and transportive. Sadja has published music on 12k and Shinkoyo records\, and has performed/exhibited at PS1 MoMa\, Atonal Festival\, STEIM\, Norberg Festival\, Cleveland Museum of Art\, and Issue Project Room amongst others. \nAudrey Chen has created an uncompromising and idiosyncratic music\, tightly disciplined yet acoustically wild and heavy with implication.Her ultra-verbal vocalising\, often reminiscent of the visceral and emotionally charged sound poetry of François Dufréne or Henri Chopin\, exposes physiological aspects of utterance that are concealed within standardised articulation and day to day speech. Fleshy\, breath-driven and flecked with spittle\, Chen’s voice emanates not just from her mouth but from an ensemble of upper body surfaces\, channels\, passages and cavities. – Julien Cowley THE WIRE \nBrought to you with support from Black Editions

DESCRIPTION:This is a new way to think of oneself\, [ ] a body composite. No firm boundaries\, not a me with space around. But one of those games\, [ ] [ ] magnet shards that pull [ ] apart at a suggestion\, seem whole but disperse into their millions. Think of yourself that way\, a toy of many\, host\, hosting\, little bugs\, [ ] gathered for a feast\, a jam\, a quorum\, a minion. [ ] Body doesn’t do a dance\, it is one. \nA performance by Abigail Levine and Paula Matthusen. \nAbigail Levine is an artist working between New York and Los Angeles. Rooted in dance but moving across media—performance\, text\, drawing\, sound—Levine focuses on the poetics of our body’s work\, how we record and value it. Her latest work\, the Restagings series\, has been presented at Fridman Gallery\, Vox Populi and The Knockdown Center\, supported by Foundation for Contemporary Arts\, New Music USA\, and residencies at The MacDowell Colony\, Center for Performance Research\, Brooklyn Arts Exchange and Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. Past works have been presented throughout the US\, in Cuba\, Canada\, Brazil\, Mexico\, Venezuela\, Greece and Taiwan. Levine performed with both Marina Abramovic (2010) and Yvonne Rainer (2018) in their retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art. \nPaula Matthusen is a composer who writes both electroacoustic and acoustic music and realizes sound installations. She has written for diverse instrumentations\, such as “run-on sentence of the pavement” for piano\, ping-pong balls\, and electronics\, which Alex Ross of The New Yorker called “entrancing.” Her work often considers discrepancies in musical space—real\, imagined\, and remembered. Awards include the Walter Hinrichsen Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, a Fulbright Grant\, two ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composers’ Awards\, and the 2014 – 2015 Elliott Carter Rome Prize. Matthusen is currently Associate Professor of Music at Wesleyan University. \nDoors 7:30\, show 8

SUMMARY:When in doubt\, read Nightwood: Act III
DESCRIPTION:Thursday March 28\, 2019 – 8PM \nDoor: $5-7 sliding scale \nO Widow Lazarus. The last part of a piece developed around the Djuna Barnes novel: a hysterical break-up that breaks into song. It culls the sentiments stirred by melodramas and musicals to wonder what’s after desire. How does refusal and discarding answer the yearning for transcendence and\, emphatically\, how does that feel? We know at least: there will be singing. \nWritten by Tim Reid and Julia Jarcho \nPerformed by Alexander Borinsky\, Abigail Bouchet\, Alison D’Amato\, Dorothy Dubrule\, and Tim Reid \nMusic directed and composed by Amy Golden\, with Ethan Marks\, Cody Puttman\, and Jonny Stallings \n“‘And you were crying\,’ the doctor said nodding. ‘You went about the house like someone sunken under lightness. You were ruined and you kept striking your hands together\, laughing crazily and singing a little and putting your hands over your face. Stage tricks have been taken from life\, so finding yourself employing them you were confused with a sense of shame.’” — Djuna Barnes\, Nightwood

SUMMARY:Betsy Hunt: Drawing Exercises
DESCRIPTION:Opening at 6pm – 9pm  \nOneHouse ArtExperience presents Drawing Exercises features three short videos – done during a one week\, May 2018\, residency at the Motion and Media Across Disciplines Lab (MMAD Lab) at the University of Minnesota Duluth\, by Duluth-based artist\, Betsy Hunt. \nBetsy’s current research is in video art\, experimental animation\, and performance art. She is specifically interested in exploring physicality in film through cut out animation\, sound and image juxtaposition\, and performative filmmaking. \nWatching her videos is almost like watching her perform live using herself not only as a character; but also a performer. These videos inspired by things like slapstick comedy\, are tools for her to explore physicality and weight in film. The choice of symbolic shapes (images)\, simple gestures and eccentric sound effects\, tell both personal and universal stories\, embrace art and life\, and question the meaning of Being at large. \nBetsy Hunt is a video and animation artist. She received her BFA from the University of Northern Iowa in 2005 and her MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 2008. Betsy has exhibited her video work throughout the United States including Elephant Art Space (Los Angeles\, CA)\, Soo Visual Art Center (Minneapolis\, MN) and The Duluth Art Institute (Duluth\, MN). She currently lives and teaches Digital Art at the University of Minnesota Duluth in Duluth\, MN. \nThis exhibition is organized by OneHouse ArtExperience in conjunction with their exhibition of student work.
