SUMMARY:Nina Sarnelle: Breath Work
DESCRIPTION:Tickets ($5-15\, no one turned away for lack of funds) \n\n\n\nNina Sarnelle’s Breath Work is an experimental opera exploring breath as a medium for resistance. Part documentary\, part ritual\, it was made collaboratively by community members in Long Beach\, California\, next to one of the largest ports in the world. Shipping infrastructure\, railyards\, freeways and oil refineries provide a backdrop for scenes of solidarity and grief staged by this cast and crew of 13 community members aged 11-65. This project was created in collaboration with Long Beach Forward\, and funded by the California Arts Council.  \n\n\n\nThis screening\, the Los Angeles premier for Breath Work is part of HOWL\, curated by Ashton S. Phillips. HOWL brings together more than a dozen artists and collectives working collaboratively to resist the forces of anti-trans silencing\, intimidation\, and erasure for a 7-day exhibition\, a series of workshops\, discussions\, a howling experimental film premiere\, and a night of defiant performances to help us remember – and amplify – our power. See HOWL’s press release for more information. \n\n\n\nNina Sarnelle (they/them) makes research projects\, participatory performances\, music composition\, video\, and many experiments in pedagogy and collectivity. They facilitate somatic\, improvisational & vocal workshops\, including many with Selwa Sweidan under the collaborative project Touch Praxis. Their work explores conditions of neocolonialism\, environmental injustice and labor exploitation in strange and intimate ways\, often rooted in specific sites like the Port of LA\, a former Nike Missile silo turned into a basketball court\, or the shifting sands of “Silicon Beach.” \n\n\n\nSarnelle was recently awarded a fellowship from the California Arts Council\, a fellowship at Metabolic Studio\, and a NYFA Environmental Arts Grant. In 2020\, they had a solo video exhibition at the New Museum. They hold a BA from Oberlin College and an MFA from Carnegie Mellon University. Their work has been shown at Whitechapel Gallery (London)\, Hammer Museum (LA)\, Getty Center (LA)\, Ballroom Marfa (TX)\, MoMA (NY)\, Istanbul Modern (Turkey)\, Neuer Berliner Kunstverein (Berlin)\,  Museum of Art\, Architecture & Technology (Lisbon)\, Fundacion PROA (Buenos Aires)\, Black Cube (Denver)\, Southern Exposure (San Francisco)\, Recess (NY)\, UNSW Galleries (Sydney)\, Project 88 (Mumbai)\, Kevin Space (Vienna)\, Villa Croce Contemporary Art Museum (Genova)\, Mwoods (Beijing)\, Human Resources (LA) and others; and featured in Art Forum\, Frieze\, Art in America\, Huffington Post\, SFMoMA\, Creators Project\, FlashArt and others.

SUMMARY:Valencia
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: available online and at the door (5-15 suggested donation\, no one turned away for lack of funds). A portion of the night’s proceeds will be donated to Bay Area Workers Support. \n\n\n\nValencia is an experimental feature collaboration of 20 directors each adapting a chapter of Michelle Tea’s award-winning\, underground classic memoir of the same name. The result is a kaleidoscopic vision of San Francisco’s vibrant Mission District in the early 1990s\, before the dot-com apocalypse\, when the neighborhood functioned as a low-rent playground for a generation of punk lesbians who came of age during the birth of the Queer Nation. Valencia documents the rise of a punk lesbian diaspora through the experience of Michelle\, a single rootless twenty-something searching for sex and love\, drugs and adventure.  \n\n\n\nIn person: Clement Greenberg & Michelle Tea\, filmmakers Chris Vargas and Cary Cronenwett\, and the “Michelle” leading actor Lil Miss Hot Mess.  \n\n\n\nCredits and Poster Illustrator Amanda Verwey \n\n\n\nFilmmakers in chapter order: Aubree Bernier-Clarke\, Lares Feliciano\, Clement Goldberg\, Sara St Martin Lynne and Michelle Lawler\, Dia Felix\, Silas Howard\, Alexa Inkeles\, Jerry Lee\, Peter Anthony\, Sharon Barnes\, Cary Cronenwett\, Courtney Trouble\, Cheryl Dunye\, Bug Davidson\, Samuael Topiary\, Olivia Parriott\, Chris Vargas and Greg Youmans\, Joey Soloway \n\n\n\nProduced by Clement Goldberg and Michelle Tea \n\n\n\nAwards:Jury Award For Best Experimental Feature at Polari Film Festival 2013 andJury Award For Best Narrative Feature at Chicago Reeling Film Festival 2013

SUMMARY:CAREROTICS: on giving and taking
DESCRIPTION:Panteha Abareshi at Human Resources Los Angeles (HRLA) \n\n\n\nPress Preview: Friday\, October 31\, 2025\, 7–9pmExhibition Opening: November 1\, 2025\, 12–6pm (gallery hours)\, 7–9pm (opening reception) \n\n\n\nGallery Hours: Wednesday–Sunday\, 12–6pm or by appointment \n\n\n\nLOS ANGELES —  Human Resources Los Angeles (HRLA) presents CAREROTICS: on giving and taking\, a solo exhibition by Panteha Abareshi that examines how the disabled body is relegated to the fringes of visibility and yet made into a spectacle\, bringing a complex duality to the nature of disability as performance. For Abareshi\, the absence of autonomy makes room for fetishism to blossom\, as the disabled individual is made into a tool for the able-bodied viewer to use as linguistic metaphor and/or as sexualized fetish object. In their work\, the disabled body becomes a vessel for the taboo corporeal fears and desires of the able-bodied audience.  \n\n\n\nPanteha Abareshi’s artistic practice is rooted in their existence as a chronically ill/disabled body contending with multiple medical illnesses\, at the foundation of which is sickle cell zero beta thalassemia— a genetic blood disorder that causes debilitating pain and bodily deterioration\, both of which increase with age. Their work explores the complexities of living within a body that is highly monitored\, constantly examined\, and made to feel like a specimen\, critically interrogating the sick/disabled body’s place within medical institutions.  \n\n\n\nCAREROTICS: on giving and taking is curated by Jennifer Doyle\, Caroline Ellen Liou\, and Jeanne Vaccaro. Major support for the exhibition is provided by the Mike Kelley Foundation for the Arts and the English Department at the University of California\, Riverside. We are also grateful to Miguel Barragan and his students at ASU Herberger Institute for Design & the Arts\, and to Alpha Medical Resources. \n\n\n\nExhibition Programs \n\n\n\nExhibition Walkthrough with Panteha Abareshi and Jeanne VaccaroSunday\, November 2\, 2025 | 2–4pm | Human Resources\, Los Angeles (HRLA) \n\n\n\nReading by Panteha Abareshi\, moderated by Johanna HedvaSaturday\, November 8\, 2025 | 7–8:30pm | Human Resources\, Los Angeles (HRLA)Panteha Abareshi shares the intimate\, the hyper-personal\, and the crip-theoretical in this reading of unreleased writing. Beginning with fictive pieces of an autobiographical nature\, the reading will also include the recitation of the poetics featured in the exhibition\, as well as new written work around the pieces presented in CAREROTICS: on giving and taking. Followed by a Q&A with writer\, artist\, and musician Johanna Hedva. \n\n\n\nFetish Material and Pornographic Screening and LectureFriday\, November 14\, 2025 | 7:30–9pm | Whammy! Analog Media\, 2514 Sunset Blvd. Los Angeles\, 90026Join us for a screening/sharing of pornographic and fetishistic materials collected and examined by Panteha Abareshi over the course of their research. The artist will lead a lecture-based discussion around the sick/Crip body’s representation in these explicit materials. This program will be an exploration of how the disabled body is made into and used as [sex] object\, and an interrogation of consent\, control\, pleasure and power through a close examination of a slew of porno vids\, fetish pics and kinky JPEGs.  Please note: 𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗦 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗚𝗥𝗔𝗠 𝗜𝗦 𝗡𝗦𝗙𝗪 & 𝟭𝟴+\, bear in mind that we will be watching and discussing explicit pornographic material\, and some of these may be difficult and challenging to view. This program is first and foremost a safe space of non-judgement\, but also one dedicated to pushing into what is most taboo\, unknown and uncomfortable as a means of expanding how we know\, see and image the sick/Crip subject. \n\n\n\nExhibition Walkthrough with Panteha Abareshi and Ron AtheySunday\, November 16\, 2025 | 2–3pm | Human Resources\, Los Angeles (HRLA)

SUMMARY:Anh Vo - Untitled (Break Fast)
DESCRIPTION:Tickets \n\n\n\nUntitled (Break Fast) centers around the durational act of squatting above a boiling pot of pho broth. Vo takes as a poetic point of departure the memory of going on a hunger strike as a teenager in order to fight with their mother for the chance to study abroad. Untitled (Break Fast) explores the fetish of individual freedom—how it is pursued through extreme acts of refusal\, denial\, and harm—and of the paradoxical clarity that emerges from confronting one’s own limitations. In each iteration\, Anh Vo stages this ambivalence between freedom and limitation\, hovering between endurance\, self-mutilation\, and collective witnessing. \n\n\n\nBased in Brooklym and Hanoi\, Anh Vo is a Vietnamese choreographer and writer working in the expanded field of performance. Their practice mobilizes the naked body in its variations to make explicit the entanglement of power and apparitional forces that cut across flesh. Their work is situated in the unlikely lineage convergences between Downtown New York experimental performance\, Hanoi performance art\, and Vietnamese folk ritual practices. Vo is indebted to Miguel Gutierrez’s unapologetic queerness and amorphous excess\, Moriah Evan’s speculative commitment to the depth of interiority\, Tehching Hsieh’s existential sense of time\, and Ngoc Dai’s guttural sonic landscape of postwar Vietnam. Their formal training is in Performance Studies\, studying with esteemed theorists and practitioners at Brown University (BA) and New York University (MA) \n\n\n\nPhoto by Albert Yee.

SUMMARY:Acacia Marable: trash flag
DESCRIPTION:Found matter elicited a certain detachment from the object itself. It could be sold for asong\, traded\, or given away but also could be returned to the streets\, to the land\, or to thejunk pile. Sometimes it was left to ripen\, and sometimes it was just left.—Kellie Jones\, South of Pico: African American Artists in Los Angeles in the 1960s and 1970s (2017) \n\n\n\nOver the course of several months\, Acacia Marable gathered discarded objects and slowlytransformed them through assemblage\, reconfiguration\, and sculptural improvisation. Thisprocess was at once devotional and absurdist: he cleaned\, sealed\, and\, in oil\, painted each itemred\, white\, and blue—the palette of nationalism\, shared identity\, and soft power. Ranging frombanana peels to a grand piano\, the trash-objects were primarily gleaned from the streets betweenMarable’s house and studio or generated by the artist himself. Across these sculptural paintings\,the American flag repeats: at times it is reproduced in full\, at others it is fragmented\, skewed\, orreduced to its basic compositional elements\, rendered abstract. \n\n\n\ntrash flag builds on the Afro-Atlantic legacy of Yard Shows\, intricate installations of scavengeditems created by Black Southerners primarily in the wake of the Civil Rights movement.Through these exhibitions\, objects deemed valueless or otherwise obsolescent were transfiguredinto expansive assemblages with spiritual\, subversive\, and testimonial significance. Through therepetitive\, ritualistic acts of remaking and undoing the flag across the refuse of daily life\,Marable creates space for objects to belong in ways they were not intended to. Rupture isvisible—or possible—only in relation to pattern\, to a recursive act. Here\, broken\, cast-off\,jettisoned\, discarded matter is reclaimed in the form of a vast\, all-over painting\, its multifacetedsurface at turns coalescing and dissolving its primary loaded symbol. \n\n\n\nOpening Reception\, December 5  \n\n\n\n· 6–9 PM \n\n\n\nArtist Walkthrough & Cookout\, December 14• Walkthrough begins at 1 PM• Cookout from 2 PM until closing \n\n\n\nGallery HoursWednesday–Sunday · 12–6 PM

SUMMARY:eloise deluca –– pursuit of play
DESCRIPTION:a movement workshop led by Eloise DeLuca \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n               pursuit of play \n\n\n\nThis movement based workshop will offer participants an embodied approach to play\, game theory\, practice and performativity. By analyzing how we approach\, strategize\, and consider choice making through playing games we can learn about our own negotiations and relationships to one another in space. What games can we play that advance us as a collective?  \n\n\n\nThe class begins with a warm-up of conditioning\, stretching\, and alignment practices. We will explore solo and partnered movement research using somatic and experimental improvisational scores. Guided prompts will shape our focus on both the internal and external experience of contemporary dance technique\, with special attention to spatial awareness. We will play movement games\, observe one another in groups\, and reflect through discussion on what we discover. The concepts of strategic interaction will be introduced to analyze conflict between individual and group interests\, strategic uncertainty\, and attempt physical applications of these efficient and inefficient coordinations. In the last part of class we will build phrase work together using movement vocabulary and material gathered from previous exercises.  \n\n\n\nSign up for 3 days or drop in available. RSVP to eloisedeluca@gmail.com \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEloise DeLuca has worked as a performance artist in New York and Los Angeles for the last twelve years. She movement directed for Solange Knowles at the Solomon R. Guggenheim and toured with Devonté Hynes of Blood Orange. She performed and acted as dance captain for the First National Tour of Fiddler on the Roof and restaged concert works at James Madison University\, Sacred Heart University\, Barnard College\, and New York University. She received her BA in Dance from California State University of Long Beach and an MFA in Choreography from California Institute of the Arts. \n\n\n\nProgram organized by clara lópez menéndez

SUMMARY:Circles and Moons
DESCRIPTION:Celebrate the winter solstice with a moon gazing durational performance by Rachel Beetz and Jennifer Bewerse. \n\n\n\nWe will observe Jennifer’s real-time films of the year’s 12 full moons while listening to an expanded version of Rachel Beetz’s auditory hallucination drone\, Pareidolia\, through the 12 musical keys. Each season will be infused with a different scent. \n\n\n\nBeginning just after sunset on the longest night of the year\, enter this ritual to reflect on past cycles and enter into the dark winter. \n\n\n\nCircles and Moons lasts 4 hours. You are invited to stay for the full duration or come and go as you need. Each moon will last approximately twenty minutes\, and each season is 50-70 minutes.

SUMMARY:LAWWSS (Los Angeles Wood Wind Skill Share) & LAFRC (Los Angeles Field Recording Club).
DESCRIPTION:LAWWSS (Los Angeles Wood Wind Skill Share) LP release & LAFRC (Los Angeles Field Recording Club). \n\n\n\nTickets \n\n\n\nOn Jan 18th the Los Angeles Wood Wind Skill Share (LAWWSS) is celebrating the release of their first Studio recorded LP (titled STUDIO on Radical Documents) with a concert at Human Resources.  \n\n\n\nJoining LAWWSS in celebration will be the Los Angeles Field Recording Club who will be presenting their recordings of LAWWSS in person.  \n\n\n\nPreceding the concert there will be screening of Neil Cloaca Young’s (dir. Milford Graves Full Mantis) new film Wind Journal (prominently featuring LAWWSS) at 3pm at 2220 Arts and Archives.  \n\n\n\nAbout the participants: \n\n\n\nThe Los Angeles Wood Wind Skill Share is a horizontally-organized wood wind learning effort that operates entirely through free improvisation. Started in 2020 as a wood wind practice/accountability group of three friends it has since grown to an informal group of more than 30 people\, all struggling to play wood winds together.  \n\n\n\nThe Los Angeles Field Recording Club is a collective focused on recording and presenting the sounds of Los Angeles. Members document environments across the city — natural\, industrial\, and everyday — and share these recordings through listening sessions\, concerts\, and exhibitions. In a gallery context\, the work treats field recordings as primary artistic material\, offering an immersive portrait of place through sound.

SUMMARY:A World Without The World Cup
DESCRIPTION:Lafayette Park\, Michael Wells\, featured in Municipal de Fútbol (2011)\n\n\n\nA lecture and forum for our community as we stare down the impending World Cup.  \n\n\n\nFIFA (the international body that governs soccer) is often described as the world’s largest criminal organization. What does it mean for arts and culture workers to engage with this event\, which operates explicitly as a bread & circus diversion from the global crisis of the collapse of democracy? How do we address the colonization of our attention by what is at once a dynamic\, engrossing spectacle\, a container for ecstatic communion\, and a festival of the worst our world has to offer? \n\n\n\nJennifer Doyle will share thoughts on the World Cup and discuss ideas for tactics that arts and culture workers might use to resist the epic levels of gaslighting that characterize the marketing of this event.

SUMMARY:RECITAL (EPILOGUE) - AMMA
DESCRIPTION:Tickets  \n\n\n\nFriday – 8pm \n\n\n\nSaturday – 8pm \n\n\n\nSunday Matinee – 3pm \n\n\n\n\nThis iteration of RECITAL was created during a development residency at MOCA Geffen Warehouse in the summer of 2025. Over the course of 6 weeks\, AMMA expanded the piece first presented at WIP LA in July of 2024. Now\, from AMMA’s sweat and tears comes RECITAL (EPILOGUE). \n\n\n\nAMMA has entered its chapter of lore building. Mysticism and fun have entered the chat. \n\n\n\nRECITAL (EPILOGUE) brings its audience into the pit of the pop-star arena\, where tickets cost $$$$ before taxes and fees. Dance has never felt this good to watch; every cent of your rent money is well spent here. \n\n\n\nPop stars are not regular people. They’re sexy angels fallen to the stage\, synchronized and syncopated. They slice through the music with their bodies\, hot knives through grass-fed butter. You’re crying\, dizzy\, screaming for more. \n\n\n\nThen\, the floor of the pit opens and you fall through. Bodies crash into each other\, the pop stars have come unglued. You came for a RECITAL\, but this is the (EPILOGUE)\, and it’s dirtier down here. More dangerous\, too. You won’t always like what you see. \n\n\n\nThe work will be presented at Human Resources Los Angeles\, January 23rd\, 24th & 25th\, 2026. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAMMA (Alexsa Miles Miles Alexsa) is a run-on sentence in the form of a choreographic practice by artists Alexsa Durrans and Miles Brenninkmeijer. Established in 2018\, their dances are inspired by the spectacle of movement performed in the context of arena concerts\, halftime shows\, synchronized swimming\, etc. Previous performance presentations include Recital (Arena Tour) at WIP LA (2024)\, EQ at Eden (2023)\, The Halftime Show at Pieter Performance Space (2019)\, and Bye Bye Bye at Weekend At Berenice (2018).  \n\n\n\nAlexsa Durrans (b. Vancouver\, Canada\, 1994) is a Los Angeles based artist working in the fields of performance\, visual art and experimental dance.  \n\n\n\nMiles Brenninkmeijer (b. São Paulo\, Brazil\, 1993) is a dancer and choreographer based in Los Angeles working across live performance and on-screen movement.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll photographs by Kobe Wagstaff and wardrobe by Hardeman \n\n\n\nWriting by Dante Matero

SUMMARY:WINTER SALON
DESCRIPTION:Tickets – Suggested donation $7-$15 \n\n\n\nCOREY’S WINTER SALON is a pop-up blast-up event\, collecting multivalent\, multimodal local artists into one eclectic night. An unusual\, adventurous cocktail. A cross-polynation of interests and friend-groups.  \n\n\n\nFeaturing performances of text\, noise\, sound installations\, tarot\, and food & object offerings. \n\n\n\nEMJI SAINT SPERO is a writer\, performer\, and pervert living in Los Angeles. They are curious about the potential of creative intimacies. Their practice a series of approaches: documentation\, personal ephemera\, and somatic ritual. Through movement and collaborative performance they seek to queer the familiar\, mapping the boundaries of collective engagement. \n\n\n\nELDER SISTER is the materialisation of incantations voiced from the marrow of broken bones\, human DNA\, ancestral imprints\, whispers of hope from other dimensions and future triumphs\, channeled through unpredictable songs of delayed guitars\, vocal loops\, and collected transmissions of everyday sounds. Elder Sister is Jane Paik who persists as an artist\, musician and healer for creatives\, mystics and misfits.  A wanderer by nature and forever situated in duality\, she now resides between her hometown of Los Angeles and longtime home in the City of Magic – Torino\, Italy.  A dig into the past will unearth the Janet Pants Dans Theeatre\, a pioneering experimental dance troupe that booked and toured like a band in the independent music scenes of the 90s/2000s.  An easy stroll across the way will reveal the flip side of Elder Sister as the vocalist in the art-damaged\, no wave\, folk band Muscle Beach. \n\n\n\nSHELLY BADAL works within a sensory practice to cultivate sites for relatedness and presence via performance\, sound\, light\, video\, language\, and community organizing. Her work examines will\, connection\, and their plasticity under various conditions. Ongoing research in prosocial behavior and nonlinear expressions of time serves as the basis for her experiential response to theory. Her audiovisual works blend color abstraction with vérité footage and field recordings using analog and digital processes\, often incorporating reflective materials and projection.

SUMMARY:The End of the World
DESCRIPTION:8pm-midnightdj Eva Myra Mayplaying vintage analogue electronic music by women \n\n\n\nperformances byHuntrezzMehregan PezeshkiBARRGraeae \n\n\n\nhosted byPage Person \n\n\n\nWhat does it mean to live in an analog world? One parallel to the world we find ourselves in; relating to signals or information represented by continuously variable physical quantities such as spatial position or changes in voltage. A world that is infinitely variable rather than tied to discrete\, fixed values. We are looking back at the era of pure research\, when women working in the sciences were able to experiment with the emerging field of electronics to establish themselves as composers of experimental music. Our soundtrack pays homage to the pioneers of electronic music such as Daphne Oram\, Delia Derbyshire\, Wendy Carlos and Suzanne Ciani not out of nostalgia\, but as a history lesson in dreaming up creative solutions to building a new world in the face of the collapsing political institutions of late-stage capitalism. \n\n\n\nThe End of the World is a monthly performance party started in the studio of Page Person; conceived as a hybrid between underground queer dance parties and variety shows that invite performers of all genres to share their work to an energized audience built around community organizing. Born out of desperation with a crackdown on free speech\, End of the World defiantly insists on the values of DIY grassroots world building. We reject the surveillance state and offer a vision for a culture based on in-person connections\, love and a celebration of our diverse viewpoints. \n\n\n\nAnything is possible. \n\n\n\nABOUT THE ARTISTS: \n\n\n\nEva Myra May is an intersex musician\, producer and vinyl DJ\, channeling emotional statements about identity\, vices and virtue through an ever-expanding list of genres. She also runs EVAMM\, a queer music collective and radio\, highlighting the intimate\, everyday practice and experimenting that DJs do when they’re not performing. \n\n\n\nHuntrezz Janos is a Black Afro-Hungarian Angeleno transmedia artist working across XR\, sculpture\, architecture\, performance\, spoken word and animation. Her work was recently featured at LACMA\, and she holds a BFA in Experimental Animation from CalArts (2018) and an MS from USC (2025). \n\n\n\nBARR is the longrunning music project of artist Beatrix Fowler. \n\n\n\nGraeae is an experimental audiovisual voyager\, creating immersive musical experiences from field recording\, sampling\, live analogue electronics\, sound-based installations and performance.  \n\n\n\nPage Person is a visual and performing artist. Her work has been displayed and performed at the Hammer Museum\, the New Museum\, DESTE Foundation\, Peres Projects\, Stuart Shave/Modern Art\, Deitch Projects\, Noon Projects as well as gay bars and underground rave spaces in Los Angeles and Mexico City.

SUMMARY:the body draws the room
DESCRIPTION:the body draws the room is a performance by Carmen Argote that transforms the gallery space into an immersive drawing environment through the body. Using a combination of shaving cream and black oil paint\, Argote creates large-scale marks on walls and floors as she moves through the space by crawling on her back and tracing the perimeter. Argote performs the physical act of pushing up against the walls of the gallery with her feet\, turning movement\, endurance\, and presence into a material record of the room itself.  \n\n\n\nThis performance marks Argote’s return to HRLA where she exhibited My Father’s Side of Home in 2014. the body the draws the room reflects the artist’s ongoing exploration of architecture\, psychology\, and embodiment\, offering audiences an opportunity to witness the physical and conceptual scope of her work.  \n\n\n\nTickets are $15 and available on Withfriends. No one will be turned away for lack of funds. \n\n\n\nThis project was supported\, in part\, by a Foundation for Contemporary Arts Emergency Grant.

SUMMARY:Tom Marioni – ACTION AND TALK
DESCRIPTION:Free rsvp \n\n\n\nA progenitor of West Coast conceptual art\, Tom Marioni will present a critical re-engagement with the ontological foundations of California’s avant-garde. Marioni\, the founder of the Museum of Conceptual Art (MOCA) in San Francisco (1970–1984)\, will perform two definitive “actions” that collapse the boundaries between temporal duration and physical residue: Out of Body Free Hand Circle (on prepared wall)\, a wall-based manifestation of Zen-influenced persistence\, and One Second Sculpture (1969). The latter\, described as a “drawing in space\,” involves the release of a coiled metal tape measure to produce an instantaneous fusion of sound\, line\, and gravity. \n\n\n\nMarioni’s performative lecture is presented by Society of Art and Living Archives (SALA) and Human Resources Los Angeles (HRLA) and in partnership with the Performance Art Museum (PAM). The project is organized by SALA founder Alberto Cuadros.Marioni’s deep-rooted connection to the Southern California conceptual art scene includes a significant solo exhibition at the Newport Harbor Art Museum (now OCMA)\, a survey at the Hammer Museum\, and his inclusion in the landmark exhibition Out of Actions at MOCA Los Angeles. Marioni has collaborated with and curated many artists\, including Marina Abramović\, Chris Burden\, John Cage\, Terry Fox\, Paul Kos\, Linda Montano\, Bruce Nauman\, and Barbara T. Smith. This upcoming performance in Los Angeles is a live archival activation of a transformative period of experimental art in California. \n\n\n\nAbout the ArtistTom Marioni (b. 1937\, Cincinnati\, Ohio) is an influential figure in the history of American conceptual art and a primary architect of the West Coast’s “social sculpture” movement. After moving to San Francisco in 1959\, Marioni fundamentally challenged the traditional boundaries of the art object\, shifting the focus from the production of static things to the creation of “idea-oriented situations.”In 1970\, Marioni founded the Museum of Conceptual Art (MOCA) in San Francisco. Through his work at MOCA and his earlier tenure as curator at the Richmond Art Center (1968–1971)\, Marioni provided a radical platform for ephemeral\, sound-based\, and body-oriented “actions” by artists such as Chris Burden\, Bruce Nauman\, and Terry Fox. Marioni is perhaps most widely recognized for his ongoing social artwork\, The Act of Drinking Beer with Friends Is the Highest Form of Art (first staged at the Oakland Museum in 1970). This piece\, which involves a weekly salon where the social exchange is the medium and the resulting debris is the “artifact\,” has been acquired into the permanent collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (SFMOMA) and performed globally. Marioni’s work is held in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art (New York)\, the Centre Pompidou (Paris)\, and the Stadtische Kunsthalle (Mannheim). He remains a central figure in the San Francisco art community\, where he continues to lead the Society of Independent Artists and collaborate with Crown Point Press. \n\n\n\nAbout the CuratorAlberto Cuadros is an artist\, curator\, and independent art historian based in California\, and the founder of SALA (Society of Art and Living Archives). Originally established in 2020 as Society of Art Los Angeles\, the organization expanded into San Francisco in 2025. Cuadros’s work through SALA is characterized by a “socially engaging” approach\, often using his extensive network of artists and cultural leaders to create immersive experiences that address the current realities of the urban environment. \n\n\n\nSALA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to telling the stories of overlooked California art in site-specific exhibitions\, talks\, salons\, and programs.The organization focuses on California’s cultural history\, dating back to the 1840s\, to connect traditional practices with contemporary creativity. Based in San Francisco\, SALA is inspired by the inclusive nature of “salon culture” and aims to bring together art and daily life closer through exhibitions\, workshops\, city-wide tours\, and experimental programming. SALA’s 2026 programming (titled Living Archives: San Francisco) interprets intersectional Bay Area art histories and the specific sites where they unfolded.
