SUMMARY:Varese Group screening / Marcia Bassett - Social Entropy
DESCRIPTION:Left:  Varese Group\, film still\, Ten Minutes in Binio\, 2019  /  Right: Marcia Bassett\, photo credit – Jennifer Braun\nCANCELLED: Screening on Saturday March 14  \nIn place of the one-time screening by Varese Group\, Ten Minutes in Binio will be screened throughout the gallery hours (11am-5pm) followed by a video and a quadraphonic sound installation by Marcia Bassett\, and Skype sessions conducted by Alison O Daniel. \nVarese Group‘s Ten Minutes in Binio is a series ten 1-minute videos taken by members of the group when they met last year in Northern Italy. This is the third iteration of a project organized by Sasha Portis. Each year all are invited to contribute a video that will be screened on the last day of Varese Group\, with the following parameters: one minute in length\, a single shot\, static (no moving or zooming)\, and no editing. The clips capture day-to-day experiences as members respond to their temporary environment.\nwww.varese.group \nMarcia Bassett‘s Social Entropy Extended – has been converted from a live performance to a quadraphonic sound installation. Transformed voice and collaged sounds taken from environmental\, natural and electronic sources will be manipulated and extended in a series of sound events. Bassett invited six women to contribute voice responses to the theme of Social Entropy. These voices along with a collection of sounds that capture day-to-day moments and personal experiences submitted by the other Social Residency participants and Bassett were worked into the quadrophonic piece that is presented here as an installation. The live performance will extend that process to a durational length that is meant to be observed and experienced as a social gathering where one may choose freely to converse\, observe and move within the performance space as slowly evolving waveform transformations and isolated sound capsules reveal themselves. The live event will embrace social interaction\, ritual gestures and serendipitous configurations that take place through extended time intervals. Bassett is very grateful for the response from the six women who contributed voice to this project: Bridget Hayden\, Áine O’Dwyer\, Crystal Penalosa\, Ursula Scherrer\, Jenny Graf Sheppard\, and Eva Sidén.\nhttp://www.marciabassett.org/

SUMMARY:Marcia Bassett\, Alison O' Daniel\, Kathleen Kim\, Angel Chirnside\, Varese Group
DESCRIPTION:so·cial res·i·den·cy\nthe fact of living in a place with living organisms   \nDue to public health concerns around the spread of coronavirus\, Human Resources has made some adjustments to upcoming programing.  Social Residency will proceed with an opening Friday March 13 from 8-11pm. We have cancelled the performances that were a part of that event. \nBy appointment only\, until 3/20\, pending further notice.  \nIdeas as inventions\ncalled artifacts [Buckminster Fuller]\nSocial Residency is an artifact\nCalled ideas as notes \nRevealing threads\, bleeds\, crossings\, streams of conscience\nFrom a group of artists housed virtually\nExchanging notes\nProcessing\na single part\na reference point\na collective meeting\na window into\nan inter-related experience\nPresently formulating\nan error\, a filter\, a trial\, a misunderstanding\, a slur\,\na natural and artificial sound colliding\nTrying to relate\nconfusion\, vision\, miscommunication\nliteracy\, clarity\, exposure\nA variable non-static artifact \nuntune and Human Resources present Social Residency\, March 13 – 17 – an all new iteration of what initially began in 2017 at untune with Alison O’ Daniel\, Kathleen Kim\, Marcia Bassett\, and Angel Chirnside.  Joined by Fiona Connor and other members of the Varese Group\, artists reconstruct separate ideas involving tone\, slur\, entropy\, action\, and residency under the binding umbrella of Social. \nSocial Residency attempts to shift the structure of an artist residency into a process – one that develops\, much like a group exhibition does – through ongoing conversations\, discussions\, feedback\, and exchanges\, with emphasis placed on the interactions between individual process and group interventions that have formulated remotely. \nMarcia Bassett\, given the concept Social Entropy\, explores the idea of social theory where social and natural worlds have constantly shifting relationships.  Sound collected from participants and the environment will be assembled\, collaged\, processed and transformed into a quadraphonic sound installation.  She will be activating her installation with a live performance on Saturday March 14th\, 9pm. \nThroughout the exhibition (at times TBA)\, Alison O’ Daniel\, given the term Social Tone\, will be processing a series of Skype sessions – a live collaboration with hard of hearing friends where repeated\, indecipherable\, and filtered communication of parts of her film script will then be utilized as new text\, dialogue and sound within the script. \nSocial Slur presented by Kathleen Kim\, a prolific advocate for civil and immigration rights\, will present an impromptu dialogue on social justice themes present in her work while allowing for sound improvisation involving audience participation to blur and bleed into the conversation – a starting point for communication about social issues.  This will take place on Sunday March 15\, 4-6pm followed by a cosmic grooving with an Avant Jazz ensemble later in the evening at 8pm\, providing a capstone to Social Slur. \nAnd as most stories have a beginning\, middle\, and end\, Angel Chirnside will prove otherwise. Intercepting with Bassett’s relational intersections\, Chirnside provides the most significant building block to Social Action – literacy.  In a participatory intergenerational (kid-friendly) reading room\, she will facilitate storytelling with visitors\, with special attention to kids\, utilizing colorful felt cutouts she has made\, with no scripted story in mind\, that can be rearranged by visitors to tell new stories with varied outcomes.  The felt pieces provide catalysts for a variety of narratives. You’ll be able to find her in the reading room at various times between 11am and 1pm on the 14th\, 15th\, and 16th. \nBringing forth and integrating the very essence of the term Social Residency\, we are also extending a warm welcome to the Varese Group\, founded in 2017 by Fiona Connor with an intention to meet consecutively until 2021 in Northern Italy.  Taking the form of one-week symposiums\, the group consists of artists\, designers\, architects\, writers\, and curators\, engaging in dialogue and conversation about ideas and their projects\, intercepted by shared meals and excursions. The materiality of location is a central aspect to their exchanges.  Every year a press release is produced (as the only public presentation) – this years iteration will be presented in this show as well as a screening of Ten Minutes in Binio by Sasha Portis that is comprised of a collection of 1 minute videos taken by members of the group when they met last year.  The screening will take place Saturday\, March 14 – stay tune for exact time. \nBios \nMarcia Bassett is a NYC-based musician and multi-media artist. An artist whose alternately shimmeringly beatific and uncannily intense work has resonated through the underground world\, Bassett is the exterminating and vivifying force defying boundaries of noise\, free drone and dark psychedelia to arrive at a place of heavenly radiance and hellish intensity. Working with synthesis\, processed field recordings\, electric guitar\, electronic experimentation and acoustic instruments\, under the moniker Zaïmph\, she seeks to transform\, re-imagine and find new meaning within established structure. Her solo recordings appear on a number of independent USA and European record labels\, as well as her own private-press label Yew Recordings. Bassett frequently collaborates and records one-to-one with musicians living in the USA and Europe; collaborators include Samara Lubelski\, Bridget Hayden\, Barry Weisblat\, Bob Bellerue\, Helga Fassonaki\, Jenny Graf and Margarida Garcia. Additionally\, Bassett is an active participant in ensembles that explore improvised sound and visual scores.  She has been an active member of Andrew Lafkas’ large ensemble Alternate Models; the group presented “Two Paths with Active Shadows Under Three Moons and Surveillance\,” at Experimental Intermedia and Eyebeam\, NYC; Bassett has also contributed to “Gen Ken’s Supergroup” performing at PS1 Solid Gold and Experimental Intermedia. \nRecent solo and collaborative presentations of her work include “Transitory Freezing of Perpetual Motion” collaborative improvised sound performance with Jenny Graf and dancers at Here-10 Evenings Festival\, Sweden; “Field Recording with Zaïmph”\, BOMB magazine; “Out of Line: Narcissister” live improvised sound interaction with the performance\, High Line\, NYC; “Ed Atkins: Performance Capture” at the Kitchen NYC; composition and performances of the score “One Two Sides Dirty\,” part of Helga Fassonaki’s Khal project presented at galleries in the US and New Zealand; and “Ten Ways of Doing Time”\, 2013\, Single Channel Video\, written and directed by James Fotopoulos and Laura Parnes with original soundtrack by Marcia Bassett. \nhttp://www.marciabassett.org/ \nAlison O’Daniel is a visual artist and filmmaker. She has exhibited internationally at the Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles; Garage Museum of Contemporary Art\, Moscow; Centre Pompidou\, Paris\, FR; Centro Centro\, Madrid\, Spain; Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts\, Omaha; Shulamit Nazarian\, Los Angeles; Art in General\, New York; Samuel Freeman Gallery\, Los Angeles; Centre d’art Contemporain Passerelle\, Brest\, France; Tallinn Art Hall\, Estonia. She is a recipient of the 2019 Louis Comfort Tiffany and Creative Capital awards\, and has received grants from the Rema Hort Mann Foundation; Center for Cultural Innovation; the California Community Foundation; and Franklin Furnace Fund. She has attended residencies at the Wexner Center Film/Video Studio Program\, the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown\, and the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture. Writing on O’Daniel’s work has appeared in The New York Times Magazine\, Artforum\, Los Angeles Times\, BOMB and ArtReview. Her film\, The Tuba Thieves\, was supported by the Sundance Creative Producing Lab and she was included in Filmmaker Magazine’s 25 New Faces of Independent Film. She is represented by Commonwealth and Council in Los Angeles. \nKathleen Kim is an experimental musician and composer who creates solo work as well as collaborative work with LA Fog and SheKhan. She has performed in joint projects in museums\, galleries and venues\, nationally and internationally. She co-founded Human Resources Gallery with her brother Eric Kim along with Giles Miller\, Dawn Kasper and Devin McNulty. Kathleen is also a full-time professor of law at Loyola Law School and a nationally-recognized scholar of critical theory perspectives on immigration and human trafficking. She is co-author of the leading casebook on human trafficking. From 2013-2016 she served as a Los Angeles Police Commissioner and was a gubernatorial appointee to the first statewide California Anti-Trafficking Task Force. In 2014\, Los Angeles Magazine named her one of Los Angeles’ ten most inspiring women. In 2016\, The National Jurist selected her as one of twenty law professors “Leaders in Diversity.” She was a recipient of the Judge Takasugi Public Interest Fellowship\, Skadden Fellowship and Immigrants’ Rights Teaching Fellowship at Stanford Law School. \nFrom Auckland\, New Zealand\, Angel Chirnside has been making queer noises in fits and starts for the past twenty years. They have had various aliases throughout that time\, most notably Jane Austen\, their long-running solo sound project which at various times has referenced animal noises\, anxiety and accordions. Born under a Libra stellium\, Angel prefers to collaborate and many of their happiest times musically have been in bands\, including: P.U.S.H\, Avanti Maria\, It Hurts\, Currer Bells and Tea Dust. In the early-mid 2010s they got into soundtracking archival film\, co-curating a series of live cinema events with Nga Taonga Sound and Vision\, the New Zealand Film Archive. This was a joyous convergence of their various interests in archival research\, amateur filmmaking and background music. These days\, Angel is pretty happy just staying cool and getting by in their job as a children’s librarian in Vancouver\, Canada\, but they still sometimes head out to howl at the moon when the time is right. Sometimes this involves playing in the ensemble Gamelan Gita Asmara. \nhttps://bluestockingsvioletpages.wordpress.com \nVarese Group\nwww.varese.group

SUMMARY:TOUCH WORKSHOP: Touching\, Feeling\, Transmission.
DESCRIPTION:TOUCH WORKSHOP \nTouching\, Feeling. Transmission\n \nHUMAN RESOURCES\nSunday March 8\n6pm – 8 pm\n410 Cottage Home St\, Los Angeles\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Touch is a workshop developed by artist Anna Betbeze to explore gestures of touch\, and the extension of such gestures by creating and using sensitive prosthetics. The workshop was taught at Yale University in 2018 and Cal Arts 2019. The Human Resources edition is exciting because it is not at a school! The structure will be more open. \nAfter his films were banned by the communist party in 1971\, Czech surrealist Jan Svankmajer conducted a series of tactile experiments with a group of artists in Prague. The experiments were not for the blind\, but for the seeing. Simple objects were built for tactile and erotic stimulation; engaging the imagination through memory\, fantasy\, psychoanalysis\, and synesthesia. The results of the experiments were outlined in “Touching and Imagining\,” an artist book published in an edition of 5. The book circulated through Europe\, hand to hand\, with the idea that you cannot censor or ban touch. Betbeze became interested in Svankmajer’s tactile experiment and traveled to Prague in the Spring of 2018 to meet with Svankmajer himself and talk about these experiments. This was the impetus for developing On Touch. The desire to tap into the deep knowledge and aesthetic potentiality of the touch sense and the feeling body. To critique the hegemony of the visual cortex\, to gesture away from ocularcentrism\, to understand more fully our under-examined senses. \nDuring the workshop\, participants first explore the embodied gesture of touch in relation to materiality. Participants bring in tactile materials to be analyzed\, solely through touching them. An eccentric group of materials is required. The participants will combine materials into tactile\, or haptic arrangements. Arrangements will be touched without access to vision: blindfolded or in the dark. Participants make note of sensorial\, mimetic\, psychosexual\, or confounding sensations. \nThe second part of the workshop will extend the gesture of touch from the organic body into a mechanical extension. The hinged action of a finger or rotary motion of a wrist could be amplified through the attachment of a handcrafted prosthetic. Participants will be asked to design bodily extensions\, and to consider how a prosthetic might transfer sensation to the proprioceptive body. How might we extend our touch into inanimate objects and still feel? Can we create a sensitive prosthetic? How does a hairbrush\, a towel\, or a doorknob act as a sensitive prosthetic\, not only transferring sensation to the user but performing as a conduit between bodies? \nWe will then return to the idea of sensation. Participants will organize experiments into a time-based concept or performance. A performance organized around feeling rather than vision and the sensation of the blindfolded performer.

SUMMARY:Lanzamiento en Los Angeles de "Slow Down Fast\, A Toda Raja" por Cecilia Vicuña y Camila Marambio / Book Launch of "Slow Down Fast\, A Toda Raja" by Cecilia Vicuña and Camila Marambio
DESCRIPTION:  \nANNOUNCEMENT: DUE TO UNEXPECTED SICKNESS CECILIA WON’T BE ABLE TO BE THERE ON SATURDAY. \nCAMILA MARAMBIO AND CLARA LOPEZ MENENDEZ WILL HOST THE BOOK LAUNCH AND CHANNEL CECILIA IN A POETIC READING. EVENT STILL ON!! COME!! \nSaturday February 29\, 2020\n7 – 9 pm \nReading will start at 7:30pm\nEnglish and Spanish \nHuman Resources is pleased to present the book launch of “Slow Down Fast\, A Toda Raja.” In this slim publication two indigenous mestizas from Chile\, Camila Marambio\, curator\, and Cecilia Vicuña\, artist-poet\, engage in a translational\, intergenerational dialog on de-colonial\, non-sexist perceptions and experiences in sessions conducted in Santiago\, New York and Melbourne Australia\, where they live. \n“This is a book of the female giggling that terrifies men” \n                                                                               James O’Hern\, poet. \n“We propose to slow down fast\, a toda raja\, before it is too late\, before the nauseating speeding up of (our) destructiveness kills us all. We can perform it daily and slowly awareness that others are be doing it too will come. \nTune into the Raja\, the slit\, the opening\, the tear between your legs—to take its pulse. Slip out of time and slide into the cosmic current. Wiggle loose from the grip of the worldview based on monetary currency and swim the laps of what we really are. \nTo slow down as a symbolic/active gesture is to bring back the notion of paradise on earth. Paraíso (para-iso)\, paradise\, is to stop and lift the soul.” \n¿Qué se construye con un detenimiento y una elevación? \nEl paraíso\n              Adivinanzas\, 1966\nCecilia Vicuña \nWhat place skirts hazard and is worth the gamble? \nParadise\n Riddles\, 1966\nCecilia Vicuña \n                                (Translated by Rosa Alcalá) \n  \nthis event is organized by Clara López Menéndez with the support of Calarts and the Herb Alpert Award \n  \nCecilia Vicuña’s work has addressed ecological destruction\, human rights\, and cultural homogenization\, since her first poems and paintings\, made in Chile during the 1960s. Her performances and installations\, such as the Quipu (created in nature\, streets\, and in museums)\, combine ritual and assemblage elements in a practice that Vicuña calls lo precario (precariousness): transformative acts that bridge art and life\, the ancestral and the avant-garde. Her paintings\, poetry\, and Palabrarmas (prints and collages that create new meanings by decomposing signifiers in words) all propose a free and futuristic vision considered pioneering indigenous decolonization. Her work can be found in the collections of museums such as the Guggenheim and MoMA in New York\, the Tate Modern\, London\, MoMA and the Guggenheim Museum in New York and the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in Santiago\, Chile. Her first retrospective exhibition\, Veroir el Fracaso Iluminado/Seehearing the Enlightened Failure\, organized by the Witte de With Center for Contemporary Art in Rotterdam\, the Netherlands\, opened on May 26 th\, 2019. \n  \nCamila Marambio/ Bio according to Goldin+Senneby \nShe is 68% Southern European\, 10% Native American and 0.2% Scandinavian according to 23&me. \nShe was part of a magic circle according to Juan Esteban Varela. \nShe set up a laboratory for making time according to visitors at the IMA in Brisbane. \nShe has developed a method to communicate with beavers according to a peer-reviewed science journal. \nShe has stolen part of an artwork at Moderna museet in Stockholm according to an anonymous source. \nShe flatlined twice according to doctors. But is still alive according to multiple sources. \nShe is developing an ecology of the soul according to Cecilia Vicuña. \nShe is queering cancer according to Nina Lykke. \nShe is a character in the novel Headless according to her own account.

SUMMARY:Hilda Hilst: The Body of the Text\, a reading circle and seminar
DESCRIPTION:Join artist Lúcia Prancha\, artist/scholar Patrícia Lino\, and Jennifer Doyle in a reading circle and conversation celebrating the writings of the extraordinary writer Hilst Hilst (1930-2004). Often described as the Marquis de Sade of Brazil\, her astonishing work takes up mysticism\, insanity\, embodiment\, eroticism\, and female sexual liberation. Hilst is one of the most important Portuguese ­language authors of the twentieth century. Nevertheless\, her work is virtually unknown in our community. \nWe will read short excerpts from Letters from a Seducer\, the second in a trilogy of texts which cut across the lines between the erotic and the pornographic. In a recent essay for The Paris Review\, Valerie Stivers describes this work as “a melodic string of sounds\, of freeing obscenity and silliness.” Attendees are welcome to read excerpts of Hilst’s writings here. \nYou can also read more about this text on her publisher’s website. There\, you will find endorsements which suggest her importance to experimental writers today: \n\nShe is a novelist with the fecundity and multivocality of Joyce\, with the precision and wit of Sarraute\, and yet she is something new under the sun\, the poet of “friezes\, strips\, joyful bands\, columbombastic screams.” Maybe all women wonder what men would be like\, without their posturing and wack\, but it seems to me Hilst had more than an inkling…. \n-DODIE BELLAMY\n\n\n\n\nLetters of a Seducer seduces the reader with all the strategies available to a fine writer: wit\, wonderfully inventive language lushly captured by the translator\, an intriguing story—and did I say sexuality that broils and bubbles along at a mad and marvelous intensity? This is a brilliant performance!” \n-SAMUEL R. DELANY\n\n\n\nI remain in awe of this book\, stimulated through its powerfully rich and expansive arcade. John Keene’s beautiful translation of Hilda Hilst’s Letters from a Seducer couples the orgasmic with the writerly\, the book edging between filth and feeling. \n-RONALDO V. WILSON

SUMMARY:Lúcia Prancha: CASA DO SOL
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Thursday\, February 20th\, 8–10pm \nExhibition Dates: February 21st–March 1st\, 2020 \nGallery Hours: Wed-Sun\, noon-6pm and by appointment \nThe Body of the Text\, a reading circle & seminar: Saturday\, February 22\, 2-5pm \nHuman Resources is pleased to present CASA DO SOL\, an exhibition of new work by artist Lúcia Prancha. \nPrancha’s installation explores the work and legacy of Brazilian writer Hilda Hilst (1930-2004). Often described as the Marquis de Sade of Brazil\, her astonishing work takes up mysticism\, insanity\, embodiment\, eroticism\, and female sexual liberation. Hilst is one of the most important Portuguese ­language authors of the twentieth century. Nevertheless\, her work is virtually unknown in our community. \nCASA DO SOL is the name of Hilst’s home. During her lifetime\, her residence was an important gathering site for writers\, artists and intellectuals. Today\, CASA DO SOL holds her archive\, and hosts an intimate residency program which allows writers and artists to breathe in the compound’s earthy magic. \nPrancha’s video installation\, CASA DO SOL\, was shot on location at Hilst’s house and gardens during summer of 2019 and uses the text of one of Hilst’s short stories. This experimental video explores sexuality and the colonial through the political and poetic militancy of Hilst’s writing. \nAs a part of this exhibition\, HRLA will host The Body in the Text on February 22\, a reading circle & conversation about writing\, sex\, transgression and Hilst’s writing. \nLúcia Prancha (1985\, Portugal) obtained her MFA from CalArts (USA) in 2015\, after completing BA studies in Lisbon (PT\, 2009) and MA in São Paulo (BR\, 2012).

SUMMARY:Feldman and Frey performed by The Koan Quartet with Katie Porter
DESCRIPTION:Performance: 8pm\n$15 at the door (no one turned away for lack of funds)\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFeldman and Frey performed by The Koan Quartet with Katie Porter\n\n\nJürg Frey; Quintet\, Clarinet and String Quartet\nMorton Feldman; Clarinet and String Quartet\n\n\n\n\nEric KM Clark & Orin Hildestad\, violins\nCassia Streb\, viola\nJennifer Bewerse\, cello\nKatie Porter\, clarinet\n\n\n\n\n\n\nQuintet\, Clarinet and String Quartet\nJürg Frey\, b.1953\, Swiss\n\n\n“Silence requires one decision – sound or no sound. Sound requires a great many more decisions. These shape the sound and give it its quality\, feeling and its content. Thus silence\, in its comprehensive\, monolithic presence always stands as one against an infinite number of sounds or sound forms. Both stamp time and space\, in that they come into appearance\, in an existential sense. Together they comprise the entire complexity of life.”\nJürg Frey\, from The Architecture of Silence\n\n\nClarinet and String Quartet\nMorton Feldman\, 1926-1987\, American\n\n\nTowards the latter part of his life\, Feldman became increasingly interested in the patterns of Coptic Rugs as an influence on his music. There is a phenomena in rug making called abrash where there is a natural color variation due to the use of vegetable-based inks made in small batches. Feldman explores his fixation on abrash through the imperfect stillness designed in Clarinet and String Quartet. Patterns and shapes appear and are repeated with minuscule differences in strict\, grid-like scoring. The musicians see slow\, abstract rhythms fit into various stretched durations\, repeated sometimes four to five times. Feldman designs these complex musical patterns to naturally vary from one another to avoid the music sounding “too perfect.” As listeners\, the result is peaceful\, ominous\, introspective\, and unsettling; distant passing storm clouds.

SUMMARY:Online Sexual Harassment Prevention Training: A Public Performance of Compliance
DESCRIPTION:  \nZOOM LINK (TW: this will be glitchy\, at times boring\, strange!): https://zoom.us/j/161645550?pwd=OEJZcFRrcm9Ka2NobFg2aFRnM05wdz09 \nJoin Jennifer Doyle\, a professor of English at the University of California\, Riverside and author of Campus Sex\, Campus Security\, as she takes the UC Sexual Violence and Sexual Harassment Prevention Training for Supervisors and Faculty. State employees are required by law (AB1825 and AB2053) to take training geared to raising awareness about sexual harassment and discrimination. Faculty tend to speed through this training at home\, alone\, and then joke about it. But for harassment victims\, these trainings can trigger all sorts of feelings about the distance between the ideals expressed in anti-discrimination law and the real difficulty of confronting harassment\, bullying and discrimination within one’s own community. The scheduling of this training on Valentine’s Day is intentional: Doyle is a victim of stalking and harassment: Valentine’s Day is a bad holiday for stalking victims. \nDoyle will take her training in public\, at HRLA\, while gallery sitting for Ken Ehrlich’s exhibition\, Dysfunctional Furniture. The training is based on case law/case history. Doyle will talk out the implications of those cases\, and spotlight the good in the training\, the bad and the blindspots. Other people who need to take their required training are welcome to bring their own laptops and participate. \nTW: this will involve some sustained discussion of sexual harassment. It also takes MUCH longer to do one’s training this way. Where most faculty will speed through this training in two hours\, Doyle insists on spending as much time as possible reflecting on and unpacking the training’s examples. She expects this public performance of compliance with anti-discrimination regulation to take six hours.

SUMMARY:KEN EHRLICH: DYSFUNCTIONAL FURNITURE
DESCRIPTION:Opening Friday\, January 31: 7–9pm\n\nClosing event Sunday\, Feb 16: 4-6pm\nMusic by Adam Samuel Goldman\, toasts\, conversation about living with dysfunction.\n\n  \nGallery Hours: Thursday-Sunday noon-6pm\nand by appointment [contact ken at kenehrlich dot net]\nnote: the Firecracker 5K/10K  goes right down Broadway on 2/16\, but should have finished before noon.\n\n  \nHuman Resources is pleased to present Dysfunctional Furniture\, an exhibition of new work by artist Ken Ehrlich. The show presents a range of works that are at once sculptural and in direct conversation with furniture design. Made from gleaned building materials\, objects range from playful to aggressive\, displaying a rough\, informal aesthetic and refined craftsmanship. Many balance precariously and pose a slight sense of danger: Glass juts out at unexpected angles\, sharp edges lean uncomfortably\, and weight and balance seem unsteady. The installation toys with the tension between the utility of furniture and the perceived uselessness of sculpture.\n\n\n  \nIn the months preceding the exhibition\, the artist asked Los Angeles writers to ‘host’ one of the dysfunctional furniture pieces in their home for a period of time and reflect on daily life with that object. The exhibit includes a pamphlet of their writings and a series of diptychs\, which present the works in situ alongside a portrait of each host.\n\n\n  \nIn conceiving the project\, the artist was inspired by several texts from 1972\, which is also the year he was born. In that year both The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community by Mariarosa Dalla Costa and Selma James and the seminal exhibition catalogue  Italy: The New Domestic Landscape were published. In The Power of Women and the Subversion of the Community\, a collaboration between an American and an Italian thinker\, the writers begin by analyzing the role of the housewife in the political and economic context of Italy in the 1970’s. This text eventually offers an expansive critique of the dynamics of housework\, the family\, care work and the politics of gender more broadly within a capitalist economy. Texts by designers Gae Aulenti and Enzo Mari in the catalog from Italy: The New Domestic Landscape question to what extent design can meaningfully alter behavior in a capitalist context and examine the ways that experimentation in design circulates around economic questions. Putting feminist critiques in conversation with radical Italian design from the same period generates a series of questions that move back and forth along the edge of contemporary art and design\, placing the fine grain of individual daily life against the backdrop of broad social and political dynamics.\n  \nWriters who participated in the project include Gabrielle Civil\, Andrew Culp and Eva Della Lana\, Jennifer Doyle\, Amy Gerstler and Benjamin Weissman\, Maya Andrea Gonzalez\, Maya Gurantz and Allison Yasukawa. Copies of the pamphlet will be available at the exhibition. \n  \nKen Ehrlich was born in Taos\, NM and received a BA from New College of California and an MFA from CalArts. His wide ranging practice in sculpture\, photography\, video and performance has been presented internationally\, including at the California Pacific Triennial at the Orange County Museum of Art\, Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, The Hammer Museum and High Desert Test Sites. His writing has been published widely\, including mostly recently a text on networks\, infrastructure and logistics in Blind Field Journal as well as a forthcoming text on networks in Drain Magazine. He co-edited the Surface Tension book series for Errant Bodies Press. He currently hosts the bi-monthly radio show *segments* on KCHUNG Radio and is on the organizing committee of The Public School\, Los Angeles. He has taught at UC Irvine\, Woodbury University\, CalArts and UC Riverside.

SUMMARY:Rite Nite
DESCRIPTION:Rite Nite brings together three LA-based artists using solo voices to re-describe ritual. \nAlphabet Of Wrongdoing\nOdeya Nini\nFrancine Thirteen \n\nAlphabet of Wrongdoing is the newest musical project from Snowblink’s Daniela Gesundheit\, exploring ceremonial Jewish prayer songs and blessings that encircle themes of reckoning\, forgiveness\, mortality\, striving\, and atonement\, reimagined for secular audiences and secular spaces. The texts and melodies are traditional and ancient; the context and arrangements are subversive and impressionistic. This performance acts as a communal investigation of gestures of forgiveness—in the words of poet Alan Felsenthal\, an attempt to “restore dignity to experience through music.” \n  \n\nFrancine Thirteen landed from Venus in Dallas\, TX\, where she began her earthly life. She is a proud Libra/Scorpio who creates in a genre/aesthetic she calls ‘Ritual Pop’. Her current project is entitled ‘Psalms for The Queen of Heaven’. Part music and art exhibition\, the work is deeply connected to the concept of the body as both a physical and etheric space; an energy center to conjure many things. Performances of the work include her handwoven textile art worn as jewelry and played as instruments. \n  \n\nOdeya Nini is a Los Angeles based experimental vocalist and contemporary composer. At the locus of her interest is performance practices\, textural harmony\, gesture\, tonal animation\, and the illumination of minute sounds\, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body\, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur. \n@alphabetofwrongdoing\n@thirteenthevenusian\n@OdeyaNini \nadvance tickets available here.

This conversation will be recorded and published in the upcoming EDGE issue of the magazine. \nEDGE: The Pornography Issue\, will launch in March 2020 and considers what constitutes the pornographic today. How do we conceive of pornography as a material form? An affective register? Where do conversations on the pornographic figure into contemporary gender politics? Edging is a question of mediation between the virtual and the real\, so come cam with us! \nSpeaker Bios: \nJohanna Fateman is a writer\, art critic\, and owner of Seagull salon in New York. She writes art reviews regularly for The New Yorker and 4Columns\, and she is a contributing editor at Artforum.

Each academic calendar year\, we publish eight features comprised of original essays\, interviews\, roundtables\, poetry\, fiction\, and non-fiction works on a theme. We also publish an annual limited-edition print component\, the Sublevel B-sides\, which reflects the content of the online magazine and questions the need for print in the digital era. Sublevel Magazine was founded by Janice Lee and Maggie Nelson in 2017. \nLauren Mackler is its Managing Editor.\nSabrina Tarasoff is its Assistant Managing editor. \nThe editors of the EDGE issue are Rose Sheela\, Allison Smith\, Daniel Spielberger\, Sarah Stockton\, Misael J.

SUMMARY:LAURA PARNES: TOUR WITHOUT END
DESCRIPTION:SCREENING OF TOUR WITHOUT END (92 min.) AND LIVE PERFORMANCES INCLUDING RACHEL MASON AND BRONTEZ PURNELL\nFRIDAY\, JANUARY 17\, starting at 8\, Suggested donation $10 \nSCREENING OF TOUR WITHOUT END (92 min.) AND CONVERSATION WITH CHRIS KRAUS AND LAURA PARNES\nON FRIDAY\, JANUARY 24\, starting at 8\, Suggested donation $10 \nGALLERY HOURS: Wednesday through Sunday\, noon-6:00pm and by appointment. \nPRESS PREVIEW LINK AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST\nOrganized by Jeanne Vaccaro\nPress contact: jeannevaccaro@gmail.com or tourwithoutend@gmail.com \nLOS ANGELES\, CA- Human Resources is pleased to present Tour Without End (2014-2019)\, a multi-platform installation that casts real-life musicians\, artists and actors as bands on tour\, and expands into a cross-generational\, Trump–era commentary on contemporary culture and politics. It features members of Gang Gang Dance\, LeTigre\, The Julie Ruin\, MEN\, Eartheater\, MGMT\, Light Asylum\, and more. \nShot in real environments and situations\, the core group of players improvised based on semi-scripted scenes. Because many of these performers are legends themselves in the New York City downtown scene\, they are archetypes playing archetypes.  The work revels in the sometimes hilarious — but always complex — band dynamics that the characters endure while touring\, collaborating\, and aging in a youth-driven music industry. As the players move in and out of character\, blending fiction and real life\, the film moves in and out of non-linear narrative and historical document.  Shot from 2014–2018 at over 15 DIY music spaces in and around New York City — many of which have since shuttered their doors — the film acts as an urgent time capsule for the rapidly gentrifying city.  \nThe installation version highlights the extensive and growing archive of live performance in NYC shot during the four-year production schedule and the raw footage from the improvised scenes. These include more than thirty musicians and ten underground music venues. The archive expands as the project is shown. Portraits of performers taken By Justine Kurland are central to the installation.  The feature film (92 min) will screen everyday at 12\, 1:32\, 3:04\, 4:36. The installation is travelling and was just exhibited at Burchfield Penney in Buffalo\, NY. \nThe film’s multitude of characters include:  Wooster Group founder Kate Valk\, Jim Fletcher (The NYC Players)\, musicians Lizzi Bougatsos\, (Gang Gang Dance)\, Kathleen Hanna (The Julie Ruin)\, Brontez Purnell (The Younger Lovers)\, Eileen Myles\, Alexandra Drewchin (Eartheater)\, Nicole Eisenman\, K8 Hardy\, Johanna Fateman (Le Tigre) Shannon Funchess (Light Asylum)\, JD Samson (MEN)\, Gary Indiana\, Kembra Pfahler\, (Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black)\, Rachel Mason\, Tom McGrath\, Matthew Asti (MGMT)\, Becca Blackwell\, Christen Clifford\, Alessandra Genovese (Crush)\, Rogelio Ramos (Love Pig)\, Kenya Robinson (Cheeky LaShae) and Neon Music (Youth Quake). \n Laura Parnes’ critically acclaimed films and installations address counter-cultural and youth-culture references where the music is integral to the work. Her work has been screened and exhibited widely in the US and internationally\, including at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, NY; MoMA PS1\, NY; Miami Museum of Contemporary Art\, FL; Brooklyn Museum; Deste Foundation for Contemporary Art\, Athens; The International Film Festival Rotterdam\, Rotterdam\, Netherlands; and Museo Nacional Centro De Arte Reina Sofia\, Madrid; and NY and on PBS and Spanish Television. Recently she had solo exhibitions at LA><\, LA\, Participant Inc.\, Fitzroy Gallery; and solo screenings at the Museum of Modern Art\, and The Kitchen\, New York City. Parnes is a 2013 John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Fellow\, a 2014 NYFA recipient\, and a 2016 Creative Capital Awardee. Video Data Bank published a box set of her work\, and Participant Press published a book of her scripts titled ‘Blood and Guts in Hollywood: Two Screenplays’ by Laura Parnes with an introduction by Chris Kraus. She has also directed music videos for The Julie Ruin and Le Tigre. \nTour Without End is made possible with funds from The John Simon Guggenheim Foundation\, Creative Capital and the New York State Council on the Arts in Partnership with Wave Farm: Media Arts Assistance Fund\, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts\, Electronic Media and Film Program\, with the support of Governor Andrew Cuomo and the New York State Legislature.

SUMMARY:Public Access Inclusive
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception: December 26\, 2019\, 7-10pm\nwith a performance by Quamon at 9pm\nExhibition dates: December 27 & 28\, 12-5pm \nPublic Access Inclusive is an on-going project between L.A. based artists Hyesung ii and Angel Ballesteros. The project was started with an idea of inclusion and to go against the exclusive culture of art and inaccessibility of its high-end notions in practice and celebration. PAI is about representing and supporting the communities and artists that are marginalized. \nThis exhibition includes 3 artists: Stella Ahn\, Angel Ballesteros\, and Hyesung ii. The work presented\, revolves around the spaces\, objects\, and architectural memories of the artists’ past and present realities. \nStella Ahn and Hyesung ii continue to extend their investigation of their previous project\, Restaurant (showed in November 2019 at Human Resources L.A). Restaurant explores the system of things in space which can initiate a network of use\, value\, and meaning that constitutes a daily material reality over time. \nAngel Ballesteros uses videos\, paintings\, and objects to revisit his memories of the neighborhood in which he was born and raised: City Terrace\, Los Angeles. In this exhibition\, Angel explores his relationship with one of the stores that he grew up going to in the neighborhood\, by recreating his sensorial memories. \nStella Ahn is an artist and music producer based in Los Angeles\, where she grew up. She is interested in re-imaging non-western worlds and world views\, heterogeneous structure\, narrative arrangements\, and the collapsing of meaning. \nHyesung ii is a filmmaker and artist based in Los Angeles and Seoul. She works with narratives of “ordinary” individuals and/or daily events. \nAngel Ballesteros is a Los Angeles based artist who is interested in signs and visual forms of language. He explores his memories of things\, people\, and places of reality by recreating and rearranging them through various visual forms and methods of presentation.

SUMMARY:Wild Up | darkness sounding | solstice sounding | dusk til dawn
DESCRIPTION:Description\n\n\n\nWe play drones in the dark from sundown to sun-up\, during longest night of the year. \nThe cast of performer-composers includes: trombonist Matt Barbier\, cellists Derek Stein and Tal Katz\, poet Mandy Kahn\, guitarist Chris Kallmyer\, violinist Andrew Tholl\, guitarist Jiji\, vocalists Catherine Brookman and Kathryn Shuman\, guitarist Seth Olinsky\, saxophonist Marta Tiesenga\, Lucky Dragons and oscillatorist Lewis Pesacov. \nNOTE on blankets and sleeping bags: please bring blankets\, sleeping bags\, coats\, pillows\, other cozy outfit stuff. It’s a cold space\, which we’ll be working hard to heat up. You’re welcome to stay all night\, and to sleep over etc. \nAbout Chris Rountree\, Curator / Performer \nWe see Lady Macbeth in a dozen crooning silhouettes washing blood out of rags over bright porcelain sinks; see dozens of watermelons fly off of Disney Hall; listen to three minutes of “Le nozze” for twelve hours; and hear the sound of rose-petal jam making as music. Conductor and composer Christopher Rountree\, is standing at the intersection of classical music\, new music\, performance art and pop. Regarded as one of the most iconoclastic conductors in the field\, Rountree’s inimitable style has led to collaborations with: Björk\, John Adams\, Yoko Ono\, David Lang\, Scott Walker\, La Monte Young\, Esa-Pekka Salonen\, Mica Levi\, Alison Knowles\, Sigourney Weaver\, Tyshawn Sorey\, Ragnar Kjartansson\, L’Rain\, Caroline Shaw\, Saul Williams\, Ryoji Ikeda\, Du Yun\, and many of the planet’s greatest orchestras and ensembles including: the San Francisco Symphony\, Chicago Symphony\, Los Angeles Philharmonic\, Opera national de Paris\, the Washington National Opera\, Los Angeles Opera\, and the Martha Graham Dance Company. Rountree is the artistic director and conductor of Wild Up\, the ensemble he founded in 2010\, and artistic director of an interdisciplinary ambient series in an oak grove in LA\, called SILENCE. for more about Chris \nAbout darkness sounding \nWhat is it about the end of the year? It’s dark already\, our clocks have jumped. And even in LA nights seem to overtake the days. Pagan and sacred holidays abound: rituals collecting themselves around the darkness. We’re hungry for something new\, for something wrapped and warm\, yet we search for a newness unbounded by the trappings of the past. In December 2019 and January 2020 Wild Up embarks on a new venture\, a series set against the darkest days of the year. We make mindful\, joyful and maybe melancholic music\, endeavoring to drone sounds of the earth. The sounds of community being drawn together in contemplation. \ndarkness sounding is made possible through generous support from Ruth Gilliland and Arthur Rieman\, and Bill Anawalt. \nAbout Wild Up \nCalled “a raucous\, grungy\, irresistibly exuberant … fun-loving\, exceptionally virtuosic family” by Zachary Woolfe of the New York Times\, Wild Up has been lauded as one of classical music’s most exciting groups by virtually every significant institution and critic within earshot. Artistic Director Christopher Rountree started the group in 2010 with a vision of a group of young musicians that rejected outdated traditions and threw classical repertoire into the context of pop culture\, new music\, and performance art. \nIn 2019 – 2020\, the group celebrates 10 years of bringing people together around the belief that no music is off limits\, that classical music concerts can defy convention and address the need for heart-wrenching\, mind-bending experiences. \nOver the past decade the group: accompanied Björk at Goldenvoice’s FYF Fest; premiered David Lang and Mark Dion’s “anatomy theater” at LA Opera; played the scores to “Under the Skin” by Mica Levi and “Punch Drunk Love” by Jon Brion live with the films at L.A.’s Regent Theater and Ace Hotel; premiered a new opera by Julia Holter at Brooklyn’s National Sawdust; premiered a new work of avant-pop icon Scott Walker and celestial loop-maker Juliana Barwick at Walt Disney Concert Hall; played a noise concert as a fanfare for the groundbreaking of Frank Gehry’s new building on Grand Avenue and First Street in downtown L.A.; was nominated for a Grammy for their 2019 Chris Cerrone portrait “The Pieces That Fall to Earth; and held performance and educational residencies at the Los Angeles Philharmonic\, the Colburn School\, Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra\, National Sawdust\, University of North Carolina\, and the Hammer Museum\, among others.

SUMMARY:JIJI | YOU (流) | flow | music for electric guitar
DESCRIPTION:JIJI tells two stories: One\, spinning Gulli Bjornsson’s story of capsizing and falling into the ocean\, being tossed around in the waves as night approaches\, and waves of sound consume the listener. Bjornsson’s dimmar oldur risa is inspired by an ancient Icelandic poem by Jónas Hallgrímsson. And secondly\, her own piece Kintsukuo\, after the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery by mending the areas of breakage with lacquer dusted or mixed with powdered gold\, silver\, or platinum. She wrote the piece in 2016 a heartbreaking year for her. “I had massive anxiety that I was going to be kicked out of the country because of some orange guy. It also felt like the world was going to end. I lost a few friendships- things were changing and I felt broken. I wrote this piece in order to pick myself up—to heal and repair.” \nAbout Jiji\, Curator / Performer \nApplauded by the Calgary Herald as “…talented\, sensitive…brilliant\,” JIJI is an adventurous artist on both acoustic and electric guitar\, playing a wide range of music from traditional and contemporary classical to free improvisation. A passionate advocate of new music\, JIJI has premiered works by composers such as Paul Lansky\, Joao Luiz\, Molly Joyce\, Krists Auznieks\, Gulli Björnsson and Evan Chapman. In addition; she is the dedicatee of three new guitar concertos by Natalie Diettrich\, Hillary Purrington and Kristz Ausnieks. She is sponsored by D’Addario Strings and Guitarlift. She currently is the head of the guitar department at Arizona State University. In her free time\, she likes to cook and make weird sounds on ableton. \n \nAbout Wild Up’s darkness sounding series: \nWhat is it about the end of the year?

SUMMARY:Skylar Haskard: RECESS 2019
DESCRIPTION:For this exhibit\, Skylar Haskard has created numerous works under the working title\, RECESS 2019. Subjects ranging from furniture to food are playfully addressed exploring the relationship between the body and the ‘everythingness’ of our material world. Sweatsuits temporarily hardened by school glue are seen alongside objects and materials that display little or no manipulation suggesting a statue-like importance. The autonomy of these items comes into question when gathered together and viewed as a whole\, as is our relationship with objects and the meaning in our lives they imply. \nUpstairs Haskard has curated the work of five artists to accompany the exhibition:  Sara Clendening\, Vanessa Conte\, Marte Eknæs\, Birgit Rathsmann and Erlea Maneros Zabala. These works are themed around the body\, its skin\, and the physical space it inhabits. \nSkylar Haskard (b.1977 Los Angeles) is an artist working in a variety of media\, including\, sculpture\, photography\, installation\, and painting. The exhibition in Haskard’s practice is seen as durational in which a work is not seen as a finite solution but more of a specific response to its location within time and space.  Although Haskard’s practice is mainly process-based and ideally seen as continual\, he resolves his work upon exhibition with performative sculptures or photographs which are usually lasting manifestations/documents made within ‘intense periods of production’. The works should appear as an open-ended proposals rather than sealed unalterable entities\, deriving their multiple layers from the very fact that the they are participatory and impermanent. \nHaskard has exhibited both nationally and internationally. His work has been the subject of  solo exhibitions at Anna Helwing Gallery\, Los Angeles; Transmission Gallery\, Glasgow\, and has also been included in a numerous group exhibitions at Kunst Pavillion\, Innsbruck; Villa Arson\, Nice\, DomoBaal\, MAK Centre\, and the Museum of Contemporary Art\, Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Ecology of the Edge: Closing reception with Paige Emery\, Olive Kimoto and Kendra Adler
DESCRIPTION:Closing reception for Ecology of the Edge at Human Resources. \nMusic performances by\nPaige Emery\nOlive Kimoto \nand movement performance by\nKendra Adler with Jenna Lo-Slavio and Josie J (divinebrick) \nIntimate Ecology zines to take home by Mukta Mohan and Dylan Tupper Rupert \n______________________________________________ \nPaige Emery\n“The Body Outside of itself” looks at the body as a host of multiplicities that evade the logics of contemporary discriminatory hierarchies as dancing figures intra-act with their environment. Paige Emery’s performance coalesces her music with these dancing bodies as paintings translating each song are projected onto her own body symbiotically to create a transforming multimedia work. \nOlive Kimoto\nOlive Kimoto will be performing with her sound sculpture\, “Resonance in the Non-Age”\, examining the increasingly post-temporal trajectory of our biospheric and neurospheric environments alike. The performance will interact with a space encircled by artificial rocks that amplify the sounds of emulated nature\, binaural beats\, and meditation. The frequency featured\, called the Schumann Resonance\, is the frequency of the electromagnetic field of the Earth and is commonly found throughout nature at 7.83 hertz\, also known as the Earth’s pulse. Unhearable to the human ear\, the frequency is perceivable through an auditory illusion produced by two differing pure-tone sine waves presented to the listener dichotically. \nKendra Adler in collaboration with Jenna Lo-Slavio and Josie J (divinebrick)\nMyopia is a somatic “Word As Movement” inquiry developed by Kendra Adler. Dancers explore natural material and history through improvisational movement\, to understand\, to hold\, and to incubate the messages while immersed in the visual world of this myopic contrast. The Palm is a symbol of the colonizer in Los Angeles – an agent in creating a facade of a LA paradise. Dancers authentically explore this myopic state of the settler who rejected the lands innate intelligence to pursue their personal agenda of illusion and consumption. Journey into the palm – a creature connected to the sacred – displaced from the sacred\, returning to the sacred. How does the palm represent you? How does its mask/facade reflect yours? How can we peel back the layers of grass\, and uncover it\, uncover you? Much like this grass\, many of us are migrant species figuring out how to thrive in a non-native land. We move with the palm – to honor its path\, as an echo of our own ancestral trauma. Each of us represents this lineage\, when we move through the layers\, we can heal\, together.

SUMMARY:A Loose Million: reading\, screening\, and a hypnosis
DESCRIPTION:Caitlin Berrigan’s Imaginary Explosions draws upon geology\, embodied knowledges\, and technoscience to investigate how deep time and interspecies communication might assist us in radical planetary transformation. The long-term project is composed of episodic videos\, sculpture\, and an artist book\, calling into collaboration artists and scholars whose real-life work pushes the limits of science and culture. Departing from the present into a speculative fiction\, the cosmology explores what other presents and futures become possible once we begin to think beyond the framework of the human. \nAt Human Resources\, Berrigan’s work offers a prompt for invited artists and scholars\, whose research similarly takes up queer and decolonial paradigms in relation to place and landscape\, to share their own writing and video in dialogue. Urgent considerations and connections around ecological catastrophes\, biopolitics\, and structural violence\, and their impact on individual and collective bodies emerge as the presentations consider how we can prioritize other ways of conceiving and inhabiting our world. \nCaitlin Berrigan will read from her book Imaginary Explosions and further texts; Patrick Staff will read their poem On Venus; Sara Mameni will read from her book manuscript Crude Aesthetics; Lily Benson will lead an archaeological hypnosis session; Suzy Halajian will read her text Water\, Trash\, and Protest; Daniela Lieja Quintanar will read from Carolina Caycedo’s Serpent River Book\, followed by a screening of Caycedo’s video\, Apparations. \nOrganized by Suzy Halajian \n  \nAbout the Participants  \nLily Benson is a filmmaker\, visual artist\, and hypnotist. Her work examines feminist history and reconstructs it into new narrative forms. She currently works as a creative adviser at The New York Times and is the co-founder of Cinema COBRA\, a curatorial platform for expanded cinema. Lily is on a mission to make our world a more experimental place. \nCaitlin Berrigan is an artist\, writer\, and researcher who works across performance\, video\, sculpture\, and text to engage with the intimate and embodied dimensions of power\, politics\, and capitalism. Imaginary Explosions is the subject of a recent solo show at Art in General in New York\, and as an artist’s book published by Broken Dimanche Press in 2018. She is affiliated with the PhD-in-Practice at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna\, and NYU Technology\, Culture and Society. \nCarolina Caycedo is a London-born Colombian artist\, living in Los Angeles. Her work contributes to the construction of environmental historical memory as a fundamental element for non-repetition of violence against human and non-human entities\, and generates a debate about the future in relation to common goods\, environmental justice\, just energy transition\, and cultural biodiversity. \nSuzy Halajian is a curator and writer based in Los Angeles. With Anthony Carfello and Shoghig Halajian\, she is co-editor of Georgia journal. Her work begins at the intersection of art and politics\, treating image making as steeped in colonial pasts and modern surveillance states\, and her research centers on the legacies of trauma and conflict in experimental documentary and performance practices from the Middle East and North Africa and their diaspora. \nSara Mameni is the director of Aesthetics and Politics program and faculty in the school of Critical Studies at California Institute of the Arts. Her current research explores biopolitics\, racial discourse in the Anthropocene\, post-humanist aesthetics\, and the geo-ecological age of petroleum. \nDaniela Lieja Quintanar is a curator at Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) and part of the curatorial team of MexiCali Biennial 2018-19. She works between Los Angeles and Mexico\, emphasizing contemporary art and curatorial practices that explore the politics and social issues of everyday life. \nPatrick Staff is a Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary artist working with text\, moving image\, and performance. Their work cites the ways in which history\, technology\, capitalism\, and the law have fundamentally transformed the social constitution of our bodies today\, with a particular focus on gender\, debility\, and biopolitics.

SUMMARY:Living in the Age of Uncertainty and the Pending Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Please join us in conversation with Catherine Malabou\, Kenric McDowell\, Jaden Adams\, Christine Meinders and Matthew Donovan to discuss new forms of life that enable the acceleration of climate change\, how the political landscape is mediated by the climate crisis\, and foundational anthropocentric assumptions in technology paradigms and recent attempts to expand design thinking to include non-humans along with their implications for culture at large. \nThis discussion is a part of Ecology of the Edge\, on view November 29th-December 8th. \n__________ \nAbout the speakers: \nCatherine Malabou is a French philosopher and professor of philosophy at the Centre for Research in Modern European Philosophy (CRMEP) at Kingston University\, at the European Graduate School\, and in the department of Comparative Literature at the University of California Irvine\, a position formerly held by Jacques Derrida. Widely regarded as one of the most exciting figures in what has been called “The New French Philosophy\,” Malabou’s research and writing covers a range of figures and issues\, including the work of Hegel\, Freud\, Heidegger\, and Derrida; the relationship between philosophy\, neuroscience\, and psychoanalysis; and concepts of essence and difference within feminism. \nKenric McDowell has worked at the intersection of culture and technology for over twenty years. Kenric co-leads the Artist + Machine Intelligence program at Google Arts & Culture\, where he facilitates collaboration between artificial intelligence researchers\, artists\, and cultural institutions. Kenric is a regular conference speaker and consultant to think tanks and arts organizations\, helping groups connect artistic practice and technology production with larger traditions of human understanding. \nJaden Adams (aka Jason Adams) is Co-Director of The New Centre for Research & Practice and a former Visiting Assistant Professor at Williams College and has been teaching classes and seminars in the arts\, media\, and social sciences for over a decade. Following the publication of his book Occupy Time: Technoculture\, Immediacy\, & Resistance (Palgrave Macmillan\, 2013)\, and his co-edited Deleuze & Race (Edinburgh University Press\, 2013)\, he is presently revising the final manuscript for his second authored book Virtual Virilio: Speed\, Politics\, Potentiality (Under Review\, 2018). Adams has been an invited speaker on political theory\, technoculture\, media theory\, and political culture\, at a range of universities\, research institutions\, and art galleries around the world. \nChristine Meinders is an emerging technologies designer who uses collaborative design approaches to create AI design tools and develop community-driven\, social AI projects\, from a cultural perspective. She is the founder of the community AI research and design group\, Feminist.AI\, which utilizes participatory approaches to co-create AI projects. \nMatthew Donovan(aka Teaadora) is the co-founder of The Future Left and a Fellow at Organizing For Action in Los Angeles. Within the leadership roles of these organizations\, Matthew has lead international reading-and-working activist groups\, organized educational events on LA-metro area politics with activists and politicians\, as well as co-organized Noise Against Sexual Assault\, a cultural event working to educate artists about sexual assault in the music industry. Currently\, they are pursuing a Certificate in Transdisciplinary Studies from The New Centre For Research & Practice\, articulating alternative activist and queer futures.
