SUMMARY:Two Tongues\, Multiple Mothers
DESCRIPTION:Poster design: Woohee Cho\n\n\n\nTwo Tongues\, Multiple Mothers is a one night event consisting of screenings\, performances\, and objects that explore the space between languages as liminal bodies. The process of translation and interpretation is not widely known\, and the delicate existence of these bodies is rather mysterious and misunderstood. Through personal\, historical\, and fictional narratives\, Jisoo Chung\, Dajin Yoon\, Ruoyi Shi\, and Woohee Cho investigate multiplicity in this transitional space. \n\n\n\n* \n\n\n\nJisoo Chung’s Miss Kim Lilac  is a story about a lilac tree called ‘Miss Kim’ that was brought to America from its native Korea and named by an American botanist. The tree’s name\, which has changed over time as it moved across countries\, is an imprint of colonial history\, capitalization of nature\, and the migration of Korean women. In the twenty-minute experimental documentary film\, Miss Kim Lilac(2023)\, Chung’s journey to New Hampshire where she finds the early Miss Kim lilac specimens intersects with the narrative of its history that unfolds through the lilac’s perspective.  If the name is the most fundamental linguistic framework to recognize oneself\, will Miss Kim be able to find herself lost inside her multiple names?  \n\n\n\nDajin Yoon’s First Person Perspective is a text-based performance that starts with the character called One who wakes up to find out that the world it lives in has changed significantly. The reactions from peers confuses One. Amongst the discrepancies in opinions\, the familiarity of the shared language defamiliarizes\, impairing One’s understanding of the worldly order. Then emerges the tenuous nature of perceptions where the individuals rely on their intuition for translation\, filling in the gaps of the context and new meaning. \n\n\n\nRuoyi Shi’s (un)readable? (um)readable playfully blurs between readable and unreadable\, speakable and unspeakable through drawings and sculptural objects. When a computer program cannot recognize foreign characters\, it often uses hollow square shapes as the placeholder. These squares\, sharing the same shape as the Chinese word (Kou)\,” meaning “mouth” in English\, serve as a visual representation. However\, devoid of meaning and sound\, they remain silent\, unable to convey any message. Originating from Pictograms\, Chinese characters are simplified depictions of tangible objects. They evolved from literal representations to encompass symbolic and metaphoric meanings. The character “Kou” not only signifies actions involving the mouth but also serves as a fundamental element in the structure of other characters. I modified the text from the chosen paragraph\, keeping only the square shapes. These squares will be used to form content that is both readable and unreadable\, speakable and unspeakable to all of us.Woohee Cho’s Letters Ladders is a performance\, where he climbs up and down between two ladders while writing fragments of his journal regarding his recent loss on the wall. It deals with questions about queer diaries\, family trauma\, diaspora\, and (mis)translation. When you lose words to describe your emotions\, which languages are you drawn to grapple with? When language slips through the net\, can we still exchange something through art? \n\n\n\n* \n\n\n\nJisoo Chung is an interdisciplinary artist who works between Los Angeles and Seoul. Primarily through video and installation\, she focuses on sociocultural constructs within quotidian objects and technology to explore language and the loss of one’s agency. Nonsense\, mistranslations\, personifying objects\, and non-human perspectives are used in her works to re-navigate the idea of the self.  \n\n\n\nDajin Yoon is an artist based in Los Angeles working in performance\, drawing\, and installation. Her practice examines the limits of language and its ability to shape\, activate\, and obfuscate beliefs and perceptions within shared experiences and anecdotal narratives. \n\n\n\nRuoyi Shi is an interdisciplinary artist based in Los Angeles. Inspired by ancient tales and rituals intertwined with language\, habits\, and societal norms\, she combines humor and fiction to construct her poetic narratives. Her work explores the interface between nature and artificial existences\, as well as the notion of truth and its fabrication. Woohee Cho is a visual artist based in Los Angeles and Seoul. He received an MFA from California Institute of the Arts (2020) and a BFA from Seoul National University (2014). His works focus on moments in everyday life where individual identity collides with or is subsumed by society. These are transformed into installations\, videos\, and performances as a means of queering the normativity of society. Gathering\, personalizing\, and laughing are the primary methodologies of his practice. His work has been shown at Post Territory Ujeongguk\, Los Angeles Municipal Art Gallery\, Roy Edna Disney CalArts Theater\, Ann Arbor Film Festival\, and Cork International Film Festival\, among others.

SUMMARY:WET NIGHTMARES: transvestiary of horrors
DESCRIPTION:Spiritual sessions with popper-induced trances\, lycanthropic nahual strippers\, anal vampiresses. Binding spells sealed with a rain of blood\, satanic dances. Sexual pacts with demonic entities and orgies with transsexual “tlahuelpuchis” that produce wet nightmares. These are some of the acts on offer in this Los Angeles debut by Lechedevirgen. Lechedevirgen crosses sexual dissidence and performance art with horror and mesoamerican mysticism. The monstrosity of non-binary trans BIPOC identities are deployed as figures of political transformation\, staging decolonizing raids against white supremacist\, transphobic\, heteropatriarchal mechanisms of stigmatization\, pathologization and criminalization.  \n\n\n\n“En mi tierra no somos queer\, somos jotxs. En mi tierra no somos drag queens\, somos travestis. En mi tierra no hacemos performance art\, hacemos brujería.” \n\n\n\nTickets ($15) available via WithFriends.

SUMMARY:Rehearsals for A Color Play
DESCRIPTION:Anna Betbeze and HR present: Rehearsals for A Color Play \n\n\n\nGallery Hours: Thursday-Sunday\, 12 – 6pmOpening: Saturday\, June 15\, 4 – 6pmOpen rehearsals: Friday\, Saturday\, and Sunday\, June 21 – 23\, 4 – 6pmClosing Reception: Sunday\, June 23\, 6 – 8pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRehearsals for A Color Play is an experiment\, an invitation\, a painting\, a stage\, and a score. A space to consider that color is a live material\, extra-visual\, beyond optical/retinal sensation. Using dyed fabrics as its central material\, curtains\, shrouds\, veils\, clothing\, and flags become sites for color language\, expressivity\, kinetic form\, and social and political organization. \n\n\n\nRehearsals will be the first phase in an ongoing project\, A Color Play\, that interrogates the expressive aspects of color. Color here is not theoretical\, it is tethered to experience and cannot be unbound or contained\, it bounces; reflects\, seeps\, touches\, an active catalyst for all kinds of change.  \n\n\n\nEach day will perform a chapter\, each chapter an inquiry into hidden aspects of color. The first chapter\, The Swamp\, will play with color’s ruinous\, entropic\, and muddy aspects; the potential for synaesthetic landscape\, fusing ends with beginnings. Each chapter will follow the last\, improvisationally\, an open ended project designed to change course.  \n\n\n\nBetbeze invites participants and showgoers to play and intervene in the set\,  and/or to sit\, lounge\, contemplate\, listen. Rehearsals will be held 4 – 6 pm Friday\, Saturday and Sunday. The stage set will be on display for viewing during gallery hours\, 12 – 6 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRehearsals for a Color Play extends and bridges Anna Betbeze’s experiments with touch and the tactile sense. This project marks the beginning of experiments into the psychological\, social\, and affective registers of color\, through returning color to the tactile\, material world.   \n\n\n\nThe immediacy and honesty of sensation reveal complexities in human experience that can critique\, destabilize\, and de-center the dominance of visual perception in contemporary culture.We exist within a world that is increasingly circumscribed by the optics of digital technology\, and its concomitant limitations and expansions of the perceivable world. Centering sensation allows me to consider the fullness and ephemerality of lived experience and the true urgencies of this moment alongside the supposed deathlessness of artistic creation.  \n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to: HR\, Aimee Goeblins Gougen\, John Buttdial\, Jennifer Doyle\, Andre Keichian\, Corazón Del Sol\, Jason Gowans\, The Guggenheim Foundation\, BAU Institute\, Camargo Foundation and University of California-Riverside.

SUMMARY:David Aguirre: Los días
DESCRIPTION:Lunes\, día de luna (2024)\, oil on canvas\, 72″ x 84″\n\n\n\nOpening reception: Friday\, June 28\, 6 – 9pmOpen hours: Saturday\, June 29 and Sunday\, June 30\, 12 – 6pm \n\n\n\nDavid Isaac Aguirre (b.1992\, Fresno\, CA) is an artist who lives and works in Los Angeles. David earned a bachelor of arts degree from California State University\, Fresno in 2014 and a master of fine arts degree from the California Institute of the Arts in 2016. Their work has been shown in Los Angeles at the Ace Hotel\, Panel\, Human Resources\, and at CalArts. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition comprises seven paintings commemorating the days of the week. \n\n\n\nLos días began many years ago\, on a walk of unknown duration\, aim\, or physical destination. David Aguirre was cultivating a different kind of practice then\, one that revolved around wandering: he would tread aimlessly between unmarked points\, get lost on purpose\, scatterplot his way back home. Often\, like the wandering poets and philosophers-on-foot that came before\, these walks were a pretext for exhaustive studies or more rigorous exercises in perception: the artist would embed himself among the warm brown crags and wild sages of the California coast simply to observe interchanges of light\, from dawn until dusk. Consciously\, graciously\, he did what monks do — mastering the meditations of holding and letting go. David met and released many tentative mornings and stone-cut slants of noon. He basked in golden hours and passed through lonelier thresholds into the gloaming. Even after nightfall\, David remained to do more granular work\, digging out only the quietest and most refined notes of black and blue.The works owe their sophistication to the twin engines of David’s practice: short term maximalist additive processes and protracted editorial reductions. He indulges compositional overgrowths in anticipation of the eventual slash and burn\, eager\, later\, to recover connections between dozens of subterranean paintings. David dredges up marks that are in some breaths delicate metallurgical chain links\, in others blood cells freighted with oxygen\, or a weeping coagulation of platelets. A cluster of lily pads and jellyfish might emerge from the bottom of an expanse of water. In one particularly wine-dark composition\, David’s familiar hashed ovals reposition themselves as muddy stars or a crowd of moons\, suspended in a fused sky-sea.  \n\n\n\nThere is a mysterious presence to these years-long paintings about days\, as if something ancient lives between the compressions of time and space. While he revels in the energetic vectors and unexpected synchronicities of his underpaintings\, David manages to move within the frame in the absence of a dominant underpinning. An expert in deferral\, he constantly wavers between firm establishments of ground. Viewing begins to feel like floating\, and in the course of following each construction of light\, the eye is coaxed into weightlessness. Colors become moody in real-time\, proponents of a changing condition rather than a static terrain. The painting grows nostalgic remembering itself: every gesture is diaristic\, resting on its former lives and contexts. It’s difficult not to be swayed by their collective psychology. \n\n\n\nAs a markmaker\, David is patient\, tolerant\, generous. To be in the company of his paintings is to travel somewhere that couldn’t possibly exist\, but you can stay there as long as you’d like. Each heavily reworked surface is an intimate excavation site—a crystallized formation of many-places\, many-times\, many-feelings. In the end\, David clings to the continuum\, the slipstream\, the eddy and the whirl. He doesn’t often know how a painting will end\, but he always catches the precise moment it is finished speaking: sometimes mid-sentence\, or caught whispering in a close corridor\, the painting suddenly unburdens its heart.  \n\n\n\n– Martina Onyemaechi

SUMMARY:Page Person: GREEN SCREEN VOCAL SAC
DESCRIPTION:A meditation on our relationships with nature and technology\, GREEN SCREEN VOCAL SAC invites attendees to use their phone/device to playback a video (accessible via QR code) to create an environment in which the artist will tell a story from a recent experience with a population of California tree frogs in the San Gabriel mountains. Audience participation is intended to foster community thinking; not only between us as individuals but also with the various other life forms whose needs intersect with ours. How can we imagine new ways of thinking about our environment while acknowledging our complicity in its destruction? What does interspecies learning look like? What is love and how can we sustain it? Does evolution favor competition or interdependence? What is in the water and is it making the frogs gay?Page Person (M. Page Greene; 1972\, Atlanta) is a visual and performing artist based in Los Angeles. Their work has been exhibited in galleries including Peres Projects\, Stuart Shave/Modern Art and Deitch Projects; museums such as the Hammer Museum\, The New Museum\, DESTE Foundation\, Kunsthalle Schirn\, and Kunsthalle Vien.

SUMMARY:Ringdown
DESCRIPTION:Left: Mattie Barbier. Center: Alex Hawthorn. Right: Stephanie Cheng Smith\, photo by Lena Pozdnyakova.\n\n\n\nTickets are $10; click here to purchase. \n\n\n\nOn July 23rd\, 2024 at Human Resources Los Angeles\, Alex Hawthorn will present an evening of experimental electronic music performances by renowned artists\, culminating in the world premiere of their new work\, “Ringdown”. The evening will feature opening solo sets by Stephanie Cheng Smith (electronics)\, Mattie Barbier (trombone)\, and Hawthorn (electronics).For their Human Resources debut\, sound artist and composer Alex Hawthorn brings their singular blend of electronics\, field recordings\, and contact mics to build lush\, dense ambient soundscapes\, dilating time to explore the intricacies of small sounds.“Ringdown” draws inspiration from the phenomenon of the same name\, first recorded in 2015\, which describes the gravitational waves emitted during the final stage of a merger of two black holes\, as they combine into a singular entity. Hawthorn was struck by the data\, which showed these gravitational waves were oscillating in the range of human hearing. “Ringdown” builds on this data to imagine the sonic possibilities of such a merger. \n\n\n\nThe concert features design elements by Jane Hamor\, Claire Chrzan\, and Drew Sensue-Weinstein. \n\n\n\n*Stephanie Cheng Smith is an L.A.-based composer\, performer and programmer who creates interactive pieces\, installations\, improvisation\, and through-composed works. Often using electronics\, violin and light elements\, Smith’s work stretches from ensemble performances and the realization of others’ scores to a solo practice that has included several projects that each utilize a novel technology-driven instrument of her own devise. Developing software and designing circuitry to control motorized elements\, she has imagined a unique hybrid form where physical materials such jingle-bells\, plastic cups\, or pieces of paper can be deliberately – or aleatorically – controlled to “perform” expressive and organic sound events. A recent work\, Life Cycles\, uses such apparati to vibrate vellum\, evoking the sound of cicadas. Smith’s 2021 album Forms was released on A Wave Press. \n\n\n\nMattie Barbier is an LA based musician and sonic researcher focused on experimental intonation\, noise\, and the physical processes of their instrument. Their playing has been described by the LA Times as being “of intense\, brilliant\, virtuosic growling that gave the striking impression that Barbier was dismantling the instrument while playing it\,” by the Wire as “exploring the nooks of instrumental tone far beyond the reach of most mortals\,” and by the New Yorker as being a “diabolically inventive trombonist-composer.”Mattie engages in collaborative relationships with a range of musicians including Weston Olencki\, Ellen Arkbro\, Clara Iannotta\, Sarah Davachi\, Michelle Lou\, Wolfgang von Schweinitz\, Jacob Kirkegaard\, and Katherine Young. As an interpreter they have given premieres by and collaborated with a broad spectrum of composers including George Lewis\, Catherine Lamb\, Liza Lim\, Lester St. Louis\, Kevin Drumm\, Kaori Suzuki\, Raven Chacon\, and Scott Walker. Mattie is a member of RAGE Thormbones\, wildUp\, echoi\, wasteLAnd music\, and is an active soloist and improviser on low brass instruments and bagpipes. Additionally they teach at CalArts.Mattie has presented and created work with and for the Museum of Jurassic Technology\, Getty Villa\, Monday Evening Concerts\, San Francisco Exploratorium\, Indexical\, Los Angeles Philharmonic’s Green Umbrella Series\, Roulette Intermedium\, RedCat\, Mahler Chamber Orchestra\, Ensemble Apparat\, Factory Seconds Brass Trio\, and Issue Project Room as well as in collaboration with holographer Tristan Duke. They have made a wide array festival appearances including: Borealis (NO)\, IMD Darmstadt (DE)\, Donaueschinger (DE)\, Maerzmusik (DE)\, Bludenz Tage zeitgemäßer (AT)\, Spor (DK)\, Chicago’s Frequency Festival\, Dartington International Summer School (UK)\, Kalv Festival (SE)\, JAMA (SK)\, Minu (DK)\, the Ojai Music Festival\, and Musica Nova Helsinki (FI) with the Helsinki Philharmonic\, as well as at Donaueschinger with the SWR. Various recording projects have been released on Sofa Music\, Dinzu Artifacts\, Carrier\, Tripticks\, Populist\, Mode\, Hat Hut\, Innova\, Late Music\, Faux Amis\, New Focus\, Domino\, New Amsterdam\, and Kairos Records. \n\n\n\nAlex Hawthorn is an artist\, composer\, and technologist whose work flows between performance\, installation\, object-making\, and sound-making. As a non-binary interdisciplinary artist\, Hawthorn is most comfortable outside prescriptive boxes\, allowing their research and intuition to shape the form and medium of their projects. They use their work as a lens through which to investigate the natural world\, specifically focusing on time: how we experience it\, how we have codified it\, and how we exist within it. Hawthorn’s recent research has focused on extremely long timescales: from the geological to the galactic. \n\n\n\nHawthorn has performed at sound art festivals nationally and internationally\, most recently as part of the opening of the Floating Transmissions festival in Hamburg\, Germany. Hawthorn’s work in theatrical sound design has garnered them an Obie award\, LA Ovation Awards\, and has been heard across North and South America\, Africa\, Asia\, Australia\, Europe\, and the Middle East. www.AlexHawthorn.com / @afhawthorn

Minh-Ha observed\, don’t “bring about any tremor like ‘passion\,’ ‘death\,’ or ‘love.’” It’s thanks to intervals\, however\, that “a direct relation is possible: a relation of infinity assumed in works that accept the risks of spacing and take in the field of free resonances—or\, of indefinite substitutions within the closure of a finite work.” (3) \n\n\n\nA barely-perceptible interval is space enough for holding movement between pieces that have been cut apart or never really touched\, whose relation is latent or obscured. We will approach “intervals” as tainted binaries or boundaries: before and after\, bodies and spaces\, events and images\, internal and external\, spoken and thought\, original and translation. Forms to explore include traveling in time\, interpolating (imagined continuities)\, waiting (pausing\, anticipating)\, transducing (moving across one medium into another)\, flickering\, hovering over\, pivoting on\, or crossing of thresholds\, pushing sequences out of order\, ambivalence\, and self-contradiction. Intervals show a special kind of coherence across duration\, distance\, or difference. Intervals are the mechanics of memory and representation\, the choreographies of reconstruction\, where fiction and testimony are glued together to assemble critical\, speculative\, fabulous histories.  \n\n\n\nWill Rawls “Sister Spell” (video still)\n\n\n\nWill Rawls “Sister Spell” (video still)\n\n\n\nSarah Rara “Untitled (Door)” 2024 (video still)\n\n\n\nSarah Rara “Untitled (Door)” 2024 (video still)\n\n\n\n\n“There is almost not an interval.

SUMMARY:Holly Harrell: The argument at the family barbecue the day after the office St. Patrick’s Day party
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, September 12 and Friday\, September 13\, 7pmA surgical exquisite corpse. An eternal reoccurrence. A replica made from memory with no skills to work with.A two day participatory performance. The first night we investigate the space\, take it apart and then rebuild it from memory with no references. The second night we activate the space through improvised situations which force us to negotiate an unfamiliar circumstance.Through this activation we unmake what was made. \n\n\n\nHolly Harrell subverts genres in an attempt to find what confronts us in reality and in between realities\, bifurcating the varied experiences of the audience.

SUMMARY:Dorian Wood: I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7pm / show at 7:30pm on all nights. \n\n\n\nPhoto credit: Laura Pardo\n\n\n\nDorian Wood returns to L.A. for three nights only\, performing the entirety of Sinéad O’Connor’s groundbreaking album on each night. Almost one year after the iconic singer/songwriter’s passing\, Wood pays tribute to her with an intimately heartfelt arrangement for piano and voice. Says Wood: “There is no album that has inspired me more than I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got\, and no artist has impacted my life more than the goddess Sinéad. It is an immense honor to celebrate her\, revisiting these songs filled with her truth; songs that helped shape so many of us.” Originally released in 1990\, the album was a global success for O’Connor\, spawning such hit singles as “Nothing Compares 2 U”\, “The Emperor’s New Clothes” and “Jump in the River”.

Performing in the round on a menagerie of fantastical sculptures\, novel instruments that can emit light\, audio signal\, and data AND – through custom circuitry and software – process the emissions of neighboring sculptures\, MSHR coax a wild electronic stew of chirp\, click\, pulse\, zap\, and pow\, through a four-channel speaker system\, fully enveloping the audience in the intermedia drama. MSHR is a collective comprised of Brenna Murphy and Birch Cooper. \n\n\n\nChloé Marrata – formerly one half of the heroic sui generis DIY duo Odwalla1221 – shares her solo project\, Slipper. Within\, Maratta continues to explore an intuitive and intimate sample based language\, a perfect match for her own idiosyncratic vocal style and sassy aesthetics. \n\n\n\nNo sound concept or technique is beyond the reach of Jonathan Snipes. His all-too-rare solo outings – which can take the form of ad hoc electroacoustic devices or various digital precisions – ever make the sonic seem elastic. \n\n\n\nAlso come through HR the following night to catch another mode of the Portland\, Oregon-headquartered collective’s networked visual artwork\, soundwork\, feedback\, and shape shift\, as MSHR peforms Network Entity.

SUMMARY:MIRRORED FATALITY: LABUAD MEKLOOQ
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 8pm; performance at 9:30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIt’s 3034 on ECOCIDE 3URTH\, and the corpses of natural ecosystems of planet Earth murdered by apathetic humans and artificial intelligence are seeking vengeance. A transmuted species formed from the lava eruption of Mount Pinatubo\, a dormant stratovolcano awakened after 500 years on Philippines’ Araw ng Kalayaan during U.S.A’s occupation and the ruins of floods and cyclones of post-partition South Asia after British rule are born – the labuad me looks. \n\n\n\nmirrored fatality: Láwû Makuriye’nte & Samar Dagger bring to Human Resources LABUAD MEKLOOQ\, a live biohacking performance in which the cross disciplinary performance punk duo transmutes as labuame looksqs— a multispecies of beaststerritoriesds\, and transhumans in their immersive biome ECOCIDE 3URTH. Experimenting for this immersive installation/performance with decolonial regeneration as their voice\, wearable sculptures\, and movement trigger an industrial and noise live score with vocals in Kapampangan\, Urdu\, and English. The material pulls from the duo’s album LABUAD MEKLOOQ\, released in 2024\, and their internationally screened mixed-reality films. \n\n\n\nThis project is the 2023-2024 Commission by Boss Witch Productions\, an artistic production company focused on the intersection of experimental sound art\, ritual performance\, video art\, and transmedia collaboration within natural landscapes and unusual performance sites founded in 2021. This year’s commission in partnership with mirrored fatality features creative collaborations with 24+ international Trans\, Queer\, QTBIPOC\, and underground experimental multidisciplinary artists across fashion\, prosthetics\, mixed-reality visuals\, sound art\, facilitated movement\, and handcrafted noise instruments.

SUMMARY:Conscious Tether: Art and the Internet in Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception: Saturday\, October 5th\, 5 – 8pm \n\n\n\nGallery hours: Tuesday – Sunday\, 12pm – 6pm \n\n\n\nConscious Tether: Art and the Internet in Los Angeles is a group exhibition of contemporary artists considering what it means to live with and through the internet.  \n\n\n\nAppearing to be both nowhere and everywhere at once\, the internet’s presence is always felt\, always there\, always just outside the bounds of perception. Parallel to the common perception within media theory that infrastructures and apparatuses only make themselves known during instances of breakdown or failure\, Conscious Tether feels out the sites at which matter\, energy\, and labor assert themselves amidst conditions of invisibility\, control\, and waste. These artists prize apart how the networked\, digitized subject might respond to the state of ceaseless onlineness; at the same time\, the exhibition also asks what role the real space of Los Angeles plays within these complex interactions.  \n\n\n\nThe internet’s inaugural message sent from UCLA’s Boelter Hall reached its destination\, but was incomplete. The four-node network crashed after the first two letters—LO—of “LOGIN.” This initial semi-failure or partial transmission seems in retrospect\, given the intervening histories and usages\, emblematic of all that is in excess of the internet and yet could no longer exist without it. The assembled artists in Conscious Tether emphasize the material and immaterial reminders of the internet’s unceasing presence\, exploring its seeming peripheries. American Artist\, ann haeyoung\, and Romi Morrison implicate systems of quantification\, control\, and extraction; LA Cryptoparty\, KCHUNG\, Danielle Dean\, Tiny Tech Zines (Rachel Simanjuntak\, Jules Kris\, Tyler Yin\, Tristan Espinoza)\, and Xin Xin consider practices of labor\, privacy\, and consent; while works by Ahree Lee\, Devin Kenny\, and Alice Yuan Zhang reveal both the realities and possible futures of gendered technology\, encryption\, and technological ruins. Conscious Tether celebrates and acknowledges these peculiar intransigences\, to stay with the trouble that rubs up against the gridded globe of the “World Wide Web.”  \n\n\n\nCo-curated by Chandler McWilliams and Audrey Min\, with public programming organized by Daniel Soto and Casey Reas\, the exhibition will take place at Human Resources Los Angeles from October 5–20\, 2024\, with additional programming venues and dates forthcoming. The opening reception will be held from 5pm to 8pm\, and will feature a performance by Kenny.  \n\n\n\nPublic programming will include performances and workshops throughout the duration of the show. For more information on public programs and artist talks related to the exhibition please visit https://conditional.arts.ucla.edu/ for updates. \n\n\n\nConscious Tether features work by Ahree Lee\, Alice Yuan Zhang\, American Artist\, ann haeyoung\, Danielle Dean\, Devin Kenny\, KCHUNG\, LA Cryptoparty\, Romi Morrison\, Tiny Tech Zines (Rachel Simanjuntak\, Jules Kris\, Tyler Yin\, Tristan Espinoza)\, and Xin Xin.  \n\n\n\nA note on accessibility: Human Resources’ front entrance has one step (approximately seven inches)\, and has a folding wheelchair ramp. The gallery has a one-person gender neutral wheelchair accessible restroom on the first floor. An additional upstairs bathroom is gender neutral and has two stalls adjacent to each other. Audio descriptions and captions will be available for this exhibition. Events may feature flashing lights and loud music. \n\n\n\nConscious Tether is among more than 70 exhibitions and programs presented as part of PST ART. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition\, PST ART: Art & Science Collide\, this landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science\, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty. For more information about PST ART: Art & Science Collide\, please visit pst.art

SUMMARY:Shadow of My Shadow Book Release
DESCRIPTION:A reading and reception to celebrate the publication of Jennifer Doyle’s book\, Shadow of My Shadow.  \n\n\n\n“Shadow of My Shadow sets a new bar for autotheory. A patient\, granular dismantling of the chilling relations between work\, sex\, and institutions—and of their systemic disavowal. With her signature generosity of thought\, unflinching attention to difficult details\, and riveting writing that is at turns revelatory and crushing\, Jennifer Doyle has crafted a stunning\, exquisite work.” – Jasbir K. Puar\, author of The Right to Maim: Debility\, Capacity\, Disability \n\n\n\n“Jennifer Doyle’s Shadow of My Shadow rigorously inhabits and analyzes places that many of us feel averse to but that structure and shape our institutions and sometimes our greater lives. The result is a probing\, risk-taking\, distinctive study that aids its readers in better understanding ‘complaint pathology and the paranoid character of nearly all discourse about harassment’ and helps us fathom ‘what we lose when harassment ecologies consume us’—and what we might gain by living elsewise.” – Maggie Nelson\, author of Like Love: Essays and Conversations \n\n\n\ncover image courtesy of Aimee Goguen

How can we understand this outrage toward a mission that is supposed to help the people? \n\n\n\nThrough a testimonial approach\, the film reflects on what has been left out of the frame in the colonial project and its legacy. By following the thread of history\, the chain of natural resource extraction\, and the vein of violence\, will the sounds of indigenous resistance be heard? \n\n\n\nJoin frontline leaders from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Turtle Island\, sharing inspiring work they are doing on the ground to address the climate crisis\, conflict in the eastern region\, sexual violence and resource exploitation. \n\n\n\nFriends of the Congo in partnership with the Basandja Coalition is undertaking an eight-city awareness and fundraising tour in the United States from September 23rd to November 3rd. As a part of Friends of the Congo’s seventeenth annual presentation of Congo Week\, we have invited our frontline partners from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to the United States. They will share their organizing and movement building experiences from the frontlines of the rainforest\, mining communities\, conflict zones and urban centers in the DRC.  \n\n\n\nThe delegation is made up of two members of the Basandja Coalition and their allies. The delegation will visit New York\, Boston\, Washington\, DC\, Atlanta\, Los Angeles\, San Francisco\, Oakland and Chicago.  \n\n\n\nDuring the tour\, the delegation will screen films concerning the Congo Basin Rainforest (exploring the role of Indigenous knowledge and wisdom in combating the climate crisis) and the challenges of mining communities (tying the accelerated quest for critical minerals that power the green and/or clean energy transition to cobalt diggers).  \n\n\n\nThe tour includes a photo exhibit of pictures taken by women (the Mamas) in refugee camps in Eastern Congo. The women have been displaced by what the United Nations describe as the deadliest conflict in the world since World War Two. Since 1996 at least six million Congolese have perished due to the conflict in the Congo. An estimated seven million Congolese have been displaced by the conflict in the Congo. Hundreds of thousands of women have been raped as a war strategy to drive villages from mineral rich lands – minerals that are critical to the modern tech tools like smart phones\, laptops\, video games and a range of other tech and electronic devices. \n\n\n\nThe MamasThe Mamas are fifty displaced women from the Bulengo displacement camp. They come from thirteen villages outside of the city of Goma in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As a part of an empowerment initiative by Yole Africa\, a local cultural organization\, the mamas were trained in photography so they could ultimately document their own stories. Photos from twenty-seven of the fifty women were chosen to be a part of the display and companion book. \n\n\n\nThe VisionThe photo display and companion book are a gift of love from the Mamas to the greater human family. It is a call for a deeper listening—a way for us to enter into a shared space\, to witness and feel the depth of intergenerational colonial trauma alongside the vital and tenacious force of renewal and regeneration that these mamas\, children\, and young artists of the Kivu region bring into their creative practices. Despite the ongoing violence\, their stories are testimonies of strength and the potency of a hope infused with life. It invites us to reflect on the spaces we inhabit\, both physical and emotional. It challenges us to transform sites of pain and trauma into sanctuaries of courage and love\, in ways similar to how the earth herself metabolizes death and transforms it into fruit-bearing life. \n\n\n\nPurposeThe aim of the display is to raise awareness about the conflict and displacement crisis in the Congo and raise funds to support frontline organizations providing relief and support to the displaced women and children. \n\n\n\nAspirationDrawing from this power of place\, of the living soil underfoot and the breathing forest and all within it\, the people of Kivu seek to resist the system of violence normalized by the industry of mineral extraction. As we engage these photos\, may we glimpse into a different future where the interweaving of our collective relations and actions join with our collective memory to overcome generations of bloodshed while retaining the knowledge of our past. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to donate to Friends of the Congo\, click here.

SUMMARY:Locked in the Brick Tower
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7pm; screening at 8pm \n\n\n\nRoger Muñoz\, Gorgon’s eye (Anti-mother final boss)\, 2023\, 5:52\, film still.\n\n\n\nLocked in the Brick Tower presents nine short films with thematic explorations spanning horror\, prejudice\, and the grotesque. In literary fiction\, the mythical characters who don’t ‘fit’ in society\, who bear the flawed monstrosity that makes them other-than-human\, are relegated to the margins of made-up worlds. They are the outcasts; the ghosts\, ogres\, fairies\, and imperfect gods whose merits and misfortunes serve as moral lessons to a story. Such figures make prominent appearances in works by Muri\, Lydia Kuzak\, Cristobal Cea\, Roger Muñoz\, Taína Cruz\, Martha Colburn\, Andrew Roberts\, and Mauricio Muñoz. Humor and horror become conduits for the taboo\, complete with the more uncomfortable emotions difficult to express in nonfiction for fear of saying the wrong thing\, or seeming improper and vulgar.   \n\n\n\nIn conjunction with the screening\, artists Jiayun Chen and Bingo Fang present a gambling-inspired concession stand featuring horror themed artist cocktails. Additional works in the space include special contributions from Sophie Stark\, Hannah Huntley\, and Libbi Ponce. \n\n\n\nProgram curated by Nahui Garcia.

SUMMARY:MATTHEW LAX: A TIRED DOG IS A GOOD DOG\, PART TWO
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: Friday\, November 1\, 6:00–10:00 pmGallery hours: 12:00–5:00 pm; Friday – Sunday\, and by appointment \n\n\n\n* \n\n\n\nDog tag poetry no. 4\, 2023\, engraved text on stainless steel disk\, 1.6 x 1.1 inches\, edition of 25 + 4 APs.\n\n\n\nThursday\, November 14\, 7:00 pm: Historian\, writer and USC professor Andy Campbell joins Lax for a public conversation and the launch of Lax’s zine-essay THE HOUNDS OF LOVE HAVE GONE NONVERBAL\, published by Inga Books (Chicago)\, which accompanies Lax’s exhibition A TIRED DOG IS A GOOD DOG\, PART TWO\, on view through November 17th. \n\n\n\n* \n\n\n\nThis is a dog show\, it is a show about dogs; humans play like dogs and dogs play as humans. The kennel is the house\, the whelping box a stage.  \n\n\n\nMatthew Lax questions belonging\, choice\, and freedom in A TIRED DOG IS A GOOD DOG\, PART TWO (TD2\, 2024)\, the latest chapter in his long-term psychosexual investigation of canine and human behaviors initiated in 2020. A quadruplet himself\, Lax’s intimate collaborators include the artist’s family\, who breed Collies; professional dog trainers; and members of the Los Angeles and Paris pup play kink communities\, in which humans role-play as dogs.  \n\n\n\nIn this two-channel film\, Lax negotiates the interpersonal and interspecies dynamics inherent to pack-building\, searching for individual and collective liberation by intertwining animal training with BDSM. Lax learns on all fours\, attempting to initiate himself into the pup community while also ingratiating himself to a rescue dog who suffers from severe anxiety and PTSD. \n\n\n\nInfluenced by the dog writing of Donna Harraway\, Cesar Milan\, and others\, TD2’s episodic structure is also guided by excerpts from the 1982 erotic novella Les Chiens by Hervé Guibert\, as performed by the pups themselves. Translated to English for this film by Dana Lupo\, Guibert’s tale of a sadistic dom who chains up two subs in dog masks\, provides a historical touchpoint for the BDSM practices which inform contemporary puppy play. The shoot dissolves into a group processing session about consent. Interviews about pack dynamics accompany training sequences which unpack positive reinforcement as it relates to canine trauma responses and decision-making\, while domestic scenes on the family farm and elsewhere\, depict the bonds of love\, care and mourning over the course of several animal life cycles\, including that of the artist’s own dog.  \n\n\n\nProbing home and husbandry\, TD2 technically spans 4k video\, original GoPro and 16mm footage alongside traditional and 3D animations. Installed within a large dog kennel\, viewers must choose where to position themselves within a narrative that both disperses and reinforces a power game in which Lax plays participant\, subject\, student\, director\, and editor. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition is accompanied by other studies and drawings developed over the course of Lax’s research\, including a motion-capture performance made with artist Caleb Craig\, wherein Lax becomes Lassie\, the rough collie “dog star” of mid-century American film and TV.  \n\n\n\nAn ongoing project\, TD2 falls somewhere within performance and documentary\, fantasy and real life. Through Lax’s instigations\, various familial\, sexual\, and animal values are activated as the perspectives and needs of humans who “make” dogs\, humans who train dogs\, and humans who play as dogs commingle and inform a social ethic based on the importance of sharing and sharing alike. \n\n\n\nOn Thursday\, November 14 at 7:00 pm\, historian\, writer and USC professor Andy Campbell will join Lax for a public conversation and the release of THE HOUNDS OF LOVE HAVE GONE NONVERBAL\, the forthcoming zine-essay which accompanies TD2\, published by Inga Books (Chicago). \n\n\n\nPup-only event to be announced soon. \n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to Evelia Amores\, Automata\, Andy Campbell\, Caleb Craig\, Meghan Gordon\, Kieran Hound\, Mandi H\, Patrick H\, Kyle Belluci Johanson\, Andre Keichian\, Gelare Khoshgozaran\, Dana Lupo\, Jacob Lindgren\, Sean Mankiw\, PupStar Orion\, Patrick J. Reed\, and Christopher Henry Tuzon. \n\n\n\nThis project is supported in part by an Emergency Grant from the Foundation for Contemporary Arts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMatthew Lax is an experimental filmmaker\, artist and writer working between Los Angeles and New York. Lax’s films and video installations have been screened and exhibited at Viennale (Austria)\, Rencontres Internationales (Paris)\, table (Chicago)\, Los Angeles Contemporary Archive (LACA)\, and Winnipeg Underground Film Festival\, among others. Lax’s curatorial projects include those held at Anthology Film Archives\, Human Resources\, and Fellows of Contemporary Art. Lax’s writing has appeared in publications including BOMB Magazine\, MARCH Journal\, Texte Zur Kunst\, and Los Angeles Review of Books (LARB). Lax is a recipient of a 2024 Lightning Fund Grant from Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) and the Andy Warhol Foundation.

SUMMARY:mattie barbier / Trevor Treglia & Violet Hannesena 
DESCRIPTION:mattie barbier performs the music from their new solo record on Dinzu Artifacts\, paper blown between the spaces in my ribs. \n\n\n\n(lamentations) for éliane is a long form work for prepared euphonium that they have created over the last four years utilizing under explored avenues of instrumental modification and acoustic irregularities inspired by the work of Éliane Radigue and John McCowen. \n\n\n\n“Time is of no importance. All that counts is the duration necessary for a seamless development. My music evolves organically. It’s like a plant. We never see a plant move\, but it is growing continually. Like plants\, immobile but always growing\, my music is never stable. It is ever changing” -Éliane Radigue. Time Is of No Importance. \n\n\n\nIn paper blown between the spaces in my ribs\, barbier explores intersections of vanishing sonic ecologies\, sonifications of the interior world of untouched instruments\, and a search for the safety and stability of constructed memories. The piece completes a series of works about longing for home and was created for Lampo. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nTrevor Treglia and Violet Hannesena will open\, playing Trevor’s A Special Mystic Joy for violin and electronics and solo set of new works by Violet. \n\n\n\nViolet Hannesena is a violinist-composer-improviser interested in discovering the ways we come into resonance with our environments and selves through the physical properties of sound. Her work centers around generative sonic phenomena\, natural patterns\, and exploring the innate wisdom of the universe through air manipulation. \n\n\n\nTrevor Treglia is an American composer and synthesist whose work concerns text\, microtonality\, and alternative notation.

SUMMARY:Disconsent: Faith
DESCRIPTION:A participatory performance by Aliza Shvarts  \n\n\n\nHuman Resources Los Angeles presents Disconsent: Faith\, a one-on-one performance by Aliza Shvarts on Thursday\, November 15 from 6-8pm. This performance is presented off-site. \n\n\n\nSit down and you will hear a story about a time when someone consented or dissented in the context of religion or faith. Then tell this story back\, “reversing” the terms of consent or dissent. This reversal can range from simply replacing the terms used in the original narrative (i.e. replacing “yes” with “no”) to inventing new details entirely. After that\, tell a story of your own about a time you consented or dissented in the context of religion or faith. This will be the story told as accurately as possible to the next person. Your voice will be recorded\, but not your image. \n\n\n\nDisconsent: Faith is a live iteration of Shvarts’ broader Disconsent series\, which examine the relationships between consent\, which often takes the form of a speech act\, and its imperfect opposite—dissent—which often exceeds speech to take the form of silence\, protest\, or other forms of bodily action. \n\n\n\nTo respond to the artist’s invitation & request a time\, please fill out this form. Once we have coordinated appointments\, we will send a confirmation email with details.

SUMMARY:Recipes for the End of Empire
DESCRIPTION:untune’s Fall Residency from throughout November includes creatives exploring issues concerning FOOD-history\, insecurity\, sovereignty\, and our modern food system as a colonial one. The group navigates and learns from land\, food access\, mutual aid practices\, indigenous seeds\, ethnobotany\, waste\, and modes of food as study. We aim to expand the ways we might understand “consumption” outside of direct bodily absorption and implicated with an ethos of sovereignty and as a process of becoming bodies\, together. Threaded by this ethos\, we examine our local resources and alternatives strategies to ways governing bodies handle our food system from city infrastructure to public health\, to access to care.  \n\n\n\nThe residency program takes place at Canvas 5025 on Chumash and Tongva land\, located in the San Rafael hills in North East Los Angeles.  We are dedicated to understanding the land we occupy and learning how to better support Indigenous culture and sociocultural history through our stewardship.  \n\n\n\nThe Fall residency cohort includes Rey Reyes\, Michael Bailey\, Bahía Collective\, Anna Cho-Son\, Maryam Hosseinzadeh and Helga Rabieh Fassonaki  \n\n\n\nOn Saturday November 23rd\, Bahía Collective in collaboration with untune’s residency presents Recipes for the End of Empire\, a screening and dinner centered on exploring ‘recipes’ for surviving the colonial project and for healing the world in the times to come. \n\n\n\nJoin us for an evening of films and food as we reimagine the space of the film screening as a sacred\, solitary experience and create a gathering where people are free to talk to each other\, yell back at the screen\, and ask questions as the film plays. \n\n\n\nThe menu consists of four films from Palestine\, Sudan and Martinique and four surprise food courses. Tickets are $25 and all proceeds will be donated to mutual aid funds in Gaza and Sudan.  \n\n\n\nGet your TICKETS from WithFriends. We hope to see you there!Doors open at 7\, dinner & screening at 7:30pmBahía Collective – Bahía Collective is a group of filmmakers\, artists\, and curators from South Africa\, Palestine\, Cuba\, Mexico\, India\, and Russia\, focused on collaborative practice and community building. Through our curations and events—both virtual and in-person—we create spaces to gather around cinema in relation to current politics\, food\, music\, and literature. The films we produce and direct are formally explorative and delve into themes of borders\, migration\, memory\, oral histories\, mythologies\, ghosts\, landscapes as protagonists\, physical and virtual realities\, the dark web\, land and territory\, exile\, gender\, ancestry\, and waves.

SUMMARY:BEINGS IN PROGRESS
DESCRIPTION:BEINGS IN PROGRESS  \n\n\n\nThis event is a space to share unfinished works without judgment\, for artists seeking a momentary instance of community among strangers. This gathering is intended especially for those who may feel alienated from institutional forms of art critique\, are needing structure and routine in practice\, and those nurturing projects in a vulnerable stage of needing fresh yet compassionate eyes. \n\n\n\nOrganized by six emerging media artists\, Beings in Progress is an effort to grow our art practices beyond traditional paradigms and institutions that are prone to failure in times of crisis. This event is open to anyone who feels called to participate\, and is interested in a communally-shaped creative process. \n\n\n\nCo-facilitator Sagan Yee\, a games artist and organizer from Canada\, will start us off by giving a brief offering of experimental workshop techniques inspired by speculative fiction writers’ circles. We will de-emphasize non-capitalist language (“I’m not sold”\, “I don’t buy it”\, or “I’m not invested”) and focus on the needs of the artist rather than the demands of the critic\, and share work-in-progress in a grassroots\, informal setting without the hierarchical biases of an art school crit session. \n\n\n\nNext\, participants may sign up karaoke-style to take the floor for 5 to 10 minutes. Connect your laptop\, or send us your slides in advance. Share something you’re working on\, or thinking of working on\, or an idea you’ve abandoned but which may hold the seeds of future projects. Feel free to share a finished piece of art\, or a burning research question\, a call to action\, or something else entirely. You may be empowered to ask the group directly for feedback\, or just bask in the collective glow of appreciation and encouragement. Non-presenting observers are welcome! \n\n\n\nFinally\, the room will open for discussion and informal gathering. Light snacks will be provided. \n\n\n\n👉🏽 SIGN UP IN ADVANCE: https://forms.gle/MgQCrAnsNKjiunhj9 \n\n\n\nFacilitators: Sagan Yee and Stamatis Hamouzas \n\n\n\nOrganizers: Chelly Jin\, Rowena Kou\, Sadia Quddus\, Sagan Yee\, Stamatis Hamouzas\, and Xiner Lan
