SUMMARY:Tino Sehgal (Untitled)(2000) - danced by Frank Willens
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 10th 2017\, 8:00pm \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. NO RSVP needed. \nConcept: Tino Sehgal\nDanced by: Frank Willens \nThis presentation contains nudity\, Viewer discretion advised \nHow can a society learn from choreographers? (Untitled) (2000) depicts an image of a world where dance and choreography can inspire a society. Originally conceived for stage and danced by Tino Sehgal himself\, the solo remains in the cultural memory as a “museum of dance.” The space of this museum does not contain objects\, but movements and gestures of iconic dance styles.  \nWith the mere presence of his body (unaccompanied by music\, and without a set)\, Frank Willens allows new spaces to emerge for new readings and interpretations. What is the task of theater or museum in a society? Has the obsession for objects\, for material values reached its end? \nThe art of Tino Sehgal is immaterial; it takes shape in the moment in which the spectator encounters it. Since 2000\, he has been constructing live situations in which performers enter into contact with the visitors and spectators by way of movements\, conversations\, or song\, inviting them to influence the structure of the work. \nTino Sehgal Born in London in 1976\, Tino Sehgal studied economics and dance. In 2005\, he represented Germany at the Venice Biennale. The Guggenheim\, Tate Modern\, and dOCUMENTA (13) have also presented solo shows of his work. In 2013\, he was awarded the Golden Lion at the 55th Venice Biennale. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler. He grew up in California and has lived and worked in Berlin since 2003 where he has had the privilege to work with a wide number of persons in a wide range of projects presented in a wide range of venues. His associates include Tino Sehgal\, Meg Stuart\, Falk Richter\, and Peter Stamer\, to name a few. Frank developed a project in collaboration with the Transform Festival in Leeds in 2015 and headed a residency/lab at the Kunstmuseum in Bonn in 2016. His new solo piece 60 minutes towards being here or what we can do until we do what we can do premiered in Berlin in January 2017. \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States. \nInfo: +1 323 5253388 or Info@losangeles.goethe.org

SUMMARY:On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense - Frank Willens and Peter Stamer
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 11\, 2017 @ 8:00 PM\nSaturday\, August 12\, 2017 @ 5:30 PM \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis.\nNO RSVP needed. \nConceived\, directed\, set and staged by Peter Stamer\nPerformed by Frank Willens\nText by Friedrich Nietzsche\nAbridged and re-translated from German into English by Peter Stamer & Frank Willens \nPosthumous fragments: In some remote corner of the universe that is poured out in countless flickering solar systems\, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge. That was the most arrogant and the most untruthful minute in ‘world history’ – yet indeed only a minute. After nature had taken a few breaths\, the star froze over and the clever animals had to die.\n(Friedrich Nietzsche\, 1873) \nIn the light of infinity\, the limited time a human being spends on this planet does appear tobe deplorable\, even ridiculous. Knowing about the futility of his existence\, man tries to comprehend life by means of language which locks him into the cage of concepts though. Language\, following Nietzsche\, denies access to the actual life of matter. Searching for knowledge about the world\, about truth\, about himself\, man gets lost in the woodwork of his own thinking. To put it casually: man becomes a blockhead\, unable to see what is there. Taking away the foundation of the boards that mean the world to him: this is what it means to live. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler. He grew up in California and has lived and worked in Berlin since 2003 where he has had the privilege to work with a wide number of persons in a wide range of projects presented in a wide range of venues. His associates include Tino Sehgal\, Meg Stuart\, Falk Richter\, and Peter Stamer\, to name a few. Frank developed a project in collaboration with the Transform Festival in Leeds in 2015 and headed a residency/lab at the Kunstmuseum in Bonn in 2016. His new solo piece sixty minutes towards being here or what we can do until we do what we can do premiered in Berlin in January 2017 On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense is his 5th collaboration with Peter Stamer. \nPeter Stamer (DE/A) is a theatre maker in the context of contemporary performing arts. In his projects\, he is interested in exploring conditions for discursive and physical empowerment within given performative\, social and narrative apparatuses. Currently\, Peter is working on a theatrical and installative adaptation of Kafka’s story In the Penal Colony (to premiere in 2017). \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States.

SUMMARY:60 Minutes towards being here - Frank Willens
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, August 15\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM\nWednesday\, August 16\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. NO RSVP needed. \nCreated and performed by Frank Willens.\nGuest musician: Klaus Janek \n… or this is probably going to be a downer\, or in lieu of addressing insurmountable graver circumstances\, or best to keep on believing\, or giddy-up\, cowboy\, or too old to be new\, or some more rituals from the discarded catalogue…the title can change\, but nothing is to be taken for granted…that’s another possibility\, nothing is to be taken for granted. \n60 Minutes towards being here is an encounter with the moment. It is a negotiation between fixed material and an ever-evolving situation whose conditions can’t be ignored\, a composition between a performer and a musician. Frank Willens sets the alarm for one hour and investigates the vast multiplicity of the given condition. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler.

SUMMARY:Dirty Vestiges - Simone Aughterlony & Michael Günzburger
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 17\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM\nFriday\, August 18\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. NO RSVP needed. \nConcept and Performance: Simone Aughterlony & Michael Günzburger \nThis performance contains nudity\, Viewer discretion advised \nIn this dirty art-making practice Simone and Michael invite a collection of commonly understood domestic forms of dirt to confederate and co-perform on a high gloss reflective surface. With dust\, hair\, fat\, blood\, ash\, pigment and skin a temporary printing station is activated that pays close attention to qualities of materials\, their desires and orientations towards bodies and their transformation through intimacy and movement. With a knowing wink but certain irreverence towards art-historical references they stage a close-up inquiry into both the happenstance and determinism of dirt transmission. Attraction and repulsion are mutual forces that go beyond the surface and play out in this sleazy cleaning/mess making fantasy. In an intensely concentrated environment and companioned by a queer alchemy of materials\, Michael and Simone practice touch and the narratives produced by the surplus of touching. Vestige research accentuates the potentiality and futurity of indelible traces and acts as a response to the so-called ephemerality of performance. \nCreated within the project DRECK: EIN APPARAT at Ufer Studios Berlin\, a project initiated and produced by Stephanie Wenner that examined dirt and the communion of all things through a new materialist perspective. \nSimone Aughterlony is an independent artist based and supported in Zurich and Berlin\, working predominantly in dance and performance contexts. Over more than decade\, Simone she has been devising and producing choreographic works. As a performer she has worked with artists such as Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods\, Forced Entertainment and Jorge León\, Phil Hayes amongst others. In 2015 «Supernatural»\, a collaboration with artists Antonija Livingstone and Hahn Rowe premiered in American Realness while in the same year the performance project «Uni * Form»\, devised by Jorge León and Simone premiered at Zuercher Theater Spektakel. Alongside an extensive tour of these works and the «Biofiction Trilogy»\, she is currently touring with Jen Rosenblit «Everything Fits In The Room»\, a commission from HAU Hebbel am Ufer and Haus der Kulturen der Welt.  \nEngaging with alternative forms of kinship inside her process\, new constellations of family emerge as possibilities for reconfiguring a culture of togetherness that fosters both familiar and unknown quantities. Her works playfully compose with representation and its saturation\, seeping into and embracing the phenomenology of mis-recognition and the absurd. Simone approaches the performance genre as a world-building practice where she navigates the contradiction between the domination of desire alongside the agency of all elements. \nMichael Günzburger is a visual artist living in Zürich\, working with methods of drawing and printing and research on the reference to the materials of used production. Collaborations with other fields of the arts\, sciences and crafts like performer Ntando Cele\, writers Lukas Bärfuss and Raphael Urweider\, Masterprinter Thomi Wolfensberger\, hunters\, gatherers\, virologists\, genetic scientist\, etc. has always been an important part of his work. His works have been shown in galleries\, museums\, public spaces and project spaces across the world such as the Zürcher Kunsthaus\, Kunstmuseum Bern\, Galleries in Mexico D.F.\, Sao Paulo\, New York\, Paris\, Bern and Zürich in solo and group shows. They found their way into many private and public collection\, and he has received a numerous fellowships and grants. He is a research fellow at the Institute for Contemporary Art and Research (IFCAR) at the University of the Arts in Zürich (ZHdK). \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States

DESCRIPTION:Gallery open Fri-Sun 10am – 10pm\nClosing reception Sunday 10/1 11am—6pm \nStill Keep Moving is a 3-day performance considering and examining the structures of grief that one builds for protection immediately after a loss or trauma and how those structures are torn down and rebuilt as they are processed and lived with. How in reworking the same materials the structures holding us release us.  \nUsing basic materials to create crude structures representing different stages of grief\, we aim to open a space of healing that can be as private as it is public and communal. All are welcome to come through at any point during open hours to help build and take apart our structures each day or to observe and spend time in a space meant for consideration\, healing\, growth\, and remembrance. There will be a dedicated altar space for anyone & everyone to bring mementos\, drawings\, writings\, or any symbol of a loved one lost to honor their life and memory.

SUMMARY:Andrew Norman Wilson - Pretense
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Friday October 6 from 6-9 pm\nOn view: October 6-20 Wednesday-Sunday from 12-6 pm\nInquiries and Appointments: awilso7@saic.edu\nThrough the use of puppets both computer-generated and hand-made\, the recent work of Andrew Norman Wilson stages inescapable narrative scenarios in which rational thought becomes contradictory and human exceptionalism unravels. Drawn from the popular imagination\, the videos&#146; anthropomorphized characters mimic our emotions and behavior while exploiting the illusory and uncertain qualities of puppetry. In the words of the artist\, &#147;Being a person means being paranoid that you might be a puppet of some other force\, like economic networks or algorithms or genetic coding.&#148; Divided\, replicated\, transposed\, and multiplied\, Wilson&#146;s puppets are subjected to biological and computational functions within infinitely looping narratives where perceptual play reigns and human reason offers no escape. \nThe Unthinkable Bygone (2016) was the first project Wilson developed in collaboration with the animator Vlad Maftei\, whose experience includes realistic simulations of vital organs for the healthcare industry as well as the limitless elasticity of a 4D Spongebob Squarepants film. For Wilson\, such overlaps of scientific visualization and popular cinematic technique are a key site for understanding science as a cultural practice that offers information about matter without revealing a consciousness-piercing truth. Together Wilson and Maftei created a 3D model of Baby Sinclair from Jim Henson&#146;s animatronic puppet TV series Dinosaurs (1991-94) and subjected him to varied forms of scientific analysis\, including simulation\, dissection\, reflection\, and endoscopy. What emerges is an infinite loop in which speculation on an organism&#146;s intelligence\, experience\, and points of view inevitably reveal the influence of cinematic and televisual convention\, and leave us knowing less than we did at the beginning of the experiment. \nReality Models (2016) is a shot-by-shot recreation of a scene from &#147;Peppermint Park\,&#148; an educational home video series produced in the 1980s by a group of investors seeking to profit off the narrative models that &#147;Sesame Street&#148; invented for educational children’s entertainment. A s the artist recounts\, &#147;Growing up\, a family friend had several copies of the VHS tapes and I remember being terrified of an unexplained dance sequence by a breakaway puppet dressed to look like a scarecrow. A few years ago\, clips from the show resurfaced online\, and my relationship with the dancing scarecrow has shifted from horror to obsession.&#148; Wilson added a backstage scene that reveals the puppet as h is own puppeteer. Inspired by a 2010 experiment by the physicist Aaron O&#146;Connell\, the scene dramatizes the discovery that an object visible to the naked human eye can be in two places at once\, thus demonstrating the influence of quantum physics on objects larger than atoms. In his essay on the video\, Wilson writes\, &#147;From here it starts to seem like existing means being inconsistent\, while dying means becoming consistent. Or that classical logic – where things are either A or B \, but never A and B at the same time – is being replaced by a quantum logic which says t hat all future possibilities exist i n the p resent.&#148; O ne could say t he narrative operates analogically to that idea. Or\, it&#146;s a demonstration of how\, in cinema and literature\, narrative closure occurs when plot and story arrive at a 1:1 ratio: consistency. At its most basic\, it&#146;s the s tory of an artist torn between their public persona and the private struggle of day-to-day survival. Whatever it means\, Reality Models is about just that: whatever it means. In the words of O&#146;Connell\, &#147;People have models of reality\, and those models are descriptions\, but they d on&#146;t get you any closer to the truth.&#148; \nOde to Seekers 2012 (2016) was the second project Wilson developed in collaboration with Maftei and was initially conceived during treatment at Rockland Psychiatric Center in Orangeburg New York\, which contains the abandoned children&#146;s ward seen in the video. Loosely based on John Keats&#146; poem &#147;Ode on a Grecian Urn&#148; (1820)\, the work emerges from a translation of the formal techniques of Keats&#146; textual ode to an infinitely looping video. Ekphrasis &#150; the graphic\, dramatic description of a visual work of art &#150; shifts from Keats&#146; urn and the celebratory scene it depicts to an abandoned children&#146;s ward at a mental institution and a computer-generated scene composed by Wilson and Maftei. &#147;What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?&#148; The questions that Keats asks of the images on the urn are visually translated for the viewer of Seekers \, transposing the poet’s queries to a scene in which a mosquito\, a syringe\, and an oil pump all thrust their piercers into a surface that looks at once like human skin under a microscope\, desert salt flats\, and potato casserole. Sifting through the artist&#146;s experiences with mosquito-borne illness\, drug addiction\, and climate change\, the work operates as both a questioning of and a testament to the choice to continue to make art\, or do anything at all\, when every attempt to love\, desensitize\, or survive inevitably entails traumatic destruction. \nA sculpture entitled Robin Williams Window Shade (2015) is mounted in the former cinema. The artist bought a resin cast of Robin&#146;s head from a Hollywood prop studio that was made when the actor was still alive. Face casts seem to anticipate a person&#146;s death &#150; they not only require the person to &#147;play dead&#148; during the making of the mold\, but they also outlive the person\, turning their form into a replicable commemoration. Wilson 3D-scanned the cast and worked with a 3D modeler to open its eyes and make it grimace in the way Robin Williams was known to do. He also 3D-scanned an alligator clip that the modeler used to pinch his eyebrow within the software. The clip\, but not its effect\, was then removed and the model was 3D printed and thrust through a hole in a piece of faux leather. As with the baby dinosaur from The Unthinkable Bygone \, Wilson picks up traces of forms\, copies of copies\, and attempts to reanimate the affect of their source towards atypical ends. He writes\, &#147;With the face print in my hands\, I am ecstatic. Then\, a feeling that something was always absent\, regardless of the fact that it&#146;s a faceprint of a faceprint of a faceprint of a face. Like any object itself\, Robin himself was never an adequate expression of his actual existence. In person\, he sparkled with the same mysterious absence as this powder print in my hands\, or as in the projection I saw of Mrs. Doubtfire&#146;s face\, covered in cake icing\, yelling ‘toodaloo’ from behind a refrigerator door. The object is mournful &#150; it holds on to the feeling of something slipping away. It&#146;s about being respectful\, being true\, but knowing that you are losing something. Treasuring an illusion\, while kissing it goodbye.&#148; \nMosquito Computer (2015-2017) is a custom computer case that has been modified to house multiple generations of mosquitoes over the course of an art exhibition. Inside the case is a mosquito colony\, a hard drive enclosure with a small pond inside for larvae to grow\, and another hard drive enclosure filled with tree resin that serves as both a food supply and a preservation medium for dead mosquitoes. The multi-generational family drama On Golden Pond (1981) is projected onto the case to serve as visual stimuli for the mosquitoes. Over the course of the exhibition\, the female mosquitoes are fed blood meals sourced from the artist&#146;s veins to afford them the protein they need to make their eggs. These blood meals also allow the artist to store his genetic information temporarily in the mosquitoes&#146; bodies\, and permanently in the tree resin once it becomes amber. According to the narrative of Jurassic Park (1993)\, this could allow for clones of the artist to be produced in the future. \nAndrew Norman Wilson is an artist from suburban Massachusetts. After studying journalism and communications\, he worked on various activist and documentary projects while employed as a commercial video producer. In 2008\, he decided to start making art\, and since then his work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum\, MoMA PS1\, Centre Pompidou\, the Gwangju Biennial and the Berlin Biennial. Lectures include Harvard University\, Oxford University\, Cambridge University\, UCLA\, and Cooper Union. His work has been featured in Artforum\, e-flux\, Frieze\, the New Yorker\, and Wired. \nCo-presented by Document\, Chicago. \nImage: Ode To Seekers 2012

SUMMARY:MERCE (Maria Chavez/Shelley Burgon)\, Lucas Gorham
DESCRIPTION:MERCE is a duo comprised of harpist/electronic musician Shelley Burgon and turntablist Maria Chavez. Tracing it’s roots to the artists’ time in residence with the Merce Cunningham Dance company\, this project finds Maria and Shelley performing improvised pieces that employ loops and live processing. MERCE has performed at Issue Project Room\, MoMA PS1 and the Stone in New York City. This will be the duos’ first performance in Los Angeles. \nMaria Chavez is an avant-turntablist whose work has been known to focus on solo electric-acoustic sound pieces that use a collection of new and broken needles\, which she calls “pencils of sound.” Accidents\, coincidence and failures are themes that unite her sound sculptures\, installations and other works with her improvised solo turntable performance practice. \nShelley Burgon is a harpist\, composer and sound artist living and working in both NYC and CA. Shelley is currently a member in the chamber group Ne(x)tworks featuring Joan La Barbara and in Anthony Braxton’s Septet. As a soloist she performs ambient\, ethereal\, electronic music and enjoys making multichannel sound and light installations. \nLucas Gorham is an interdisciplinary artist whose work ranges from music (both pop and avant- forms) to conceptual art. Within the world of experimental music\, he is most known for his work on prepared lap steel guitar\, where his live performances seek to walk the line between meditative compositions and spastic improvisations. \nDoors at 7pm / Sound at 8pm

SUMMARY:Por que somos e não somos tropicalistas: Moving image from Recife\, Brazil
DESCRIPTION:Opening Wednesday November 8th\, 7-9pm\nOn View November 9th-19th\, Weds-Sun 12-6pm \nBecause we are and we aren’t tropicalists presents recent moving image works by artists and filmmakers from Recife\, Pernambuco\, a city in the north-east of Brazil that is renowned for its film and art scenes. The works depict Recife and the surrounding Pernambucan interior to engage the material realities of its beaches\, squares\, churches\, parks\, tropical urban forests\, and bridges and canals\, as well as the sertão (the arid interior region of the State). These accounts produce fictional visions of the modern built environment\, re-envisioning an urban space marked by rampant real estate speculation and the social movements that contest it. The city’s Other appears in the form of tropical forests and the sertão\, proposing both the fecundity and aridity of these landscapes in jarring opposition to – but continually present in – Recife’s everyday imaginary. \nRecife as a locale is a city of multiple crossings. Located at the confluence of the Beberibe and Capibaribe rivers before they flow into the Atlantic Ocean\, its many waterways\, islands\, and bridges create a unique urban landscape. The works address inclusion in and exclusion from the city’s modernizing narrative (one that extends from Spanish\, Dutch and Portuguese colonization) and the contemporary possibilities for decolonizing these cities and challenging the social codes that govern public space. These artists and filmmakers construct new narratives on the frontiers of the real space of the city with works that oscillate between the status of performance and document. \nThe exhibition takes its name from the Manifesto Tropicalista written by the poet and intellectual Jomard Muniz de Britto in Recife in 1968. This manifesto aligned itself with the 60s tropicalist movements in Rio and São Paulo\, citing the desire to move away from what had become a controlling regionalist discourse. The manifesto identified “transit and trance” as key states of inventiveness\, as well as advocating a creative stance of “madness against stupidity!”. \nCurated by Zanna Gilbert \nJonathas de Andrade\, O Levante | The Uprising\, 2013\nDaniel Santiago\, O Velho Ernest Hemingway e o Mar do Recife | The Old Ernest Hemingway and the Sea of Recife\, 2012\nCristiano Lenhardt\, Guaracys\, 2016\nIrma Brown\, Vadia | Bitch\, 2016\nGabriel Mascaro\, As Aventuras de Paulo Bruscky | The Adventures of Paulo Bruscky\, 2010\nJulio Cavani\, Historia Natural | Natural History\, 2014  \n\nCristiano Lenhardt\, Guaracys\, 2016.

DESCRIPTION:Hosted by Zackary Drucker\, Kibum Kim\, Eve Fowler\, Mara McCarthy\, Jackie Tarquino\, and Francois Ghebaly\, with Committee Co-Chairs Holly Stanton and Andrew Greene \nCocktails and Hor D’Ouvres – Full Moon Pickles\, Fort Point Beer\, Kikori Whiskey\nPerformances by Anenon and LA Fog \nHuman Resources is raising money for it’s 2018-2020 schedule of programming\, and would like to invite you to attend our Art Auction Viewing Party! Please come to eat\, drink\, be entertained\, learn about the history of Human Resources\, and meet the artists\, curators\, and organizers of Human Resources’ community. Also\, come to see the work of many of the artists we have come to know and work with over the last 8 years. \nWe believe that Human Resources serves a vital role in an art economy that often fails to recognize and support the work of both emerging and established artists who are exploring performative and experimental modes of expression. Our strategy has been to actualize our mission by putting the intentions and practices of artists\, curators\, and community activists first\, and by maintaining a decentralized decision-making process that allows for maximum community access — and maximum artistic freedom\, invention and brilliance. \nOver the past seven years\, our unique organizational model has produced an incredible outpouring of creative enterprises\, with a positive impact that far exceeds our walls. In recent history\, we have hosted the exhibitions and performances of Ligia Lewis\, Rafa Esparza\, E.J. Hill\, Artemisa Clark\, Dorian Wood\, Keijaun Thomas\, Yann Novak\, Michael Parker\, Martine Syms\, Gelare Khoshgozaran\, Dirty Looks\, and living legends like Kembra Pfahler\, Terre Thaemlitz\, Rocio Boliver\, Ron Athey\, as well as a rare production of Tino Seghal’s (Untitled) 2000. We strive to make the art community a better environment for all\, even for those who may not visit or work with HR directly. \nFrom the Human Resources team\, our most heartfelt thanks\, \nVardui Sharapkhanyan\, Managing Director\nLuke Fischbeck\nJennifer Doyle\nGiles Miller\nEric Kim\nShoghig Halajian\n​Devin Mcnulty \nlink to paddle8 auction live now! \nPARTICIPATING ARTISTS:\nScoli Acosta\, Mathis Altmann\, Edgar Arceneaux\, Carmen Argote\, Ron Athey\, Nora Berman\, Johanna Breiding\, Kristin Calabrese\, Carolyn Castaño\, Sam Durant\, Olivia Erlanger\, Patricia Fernandez\, Cristóbal Gracia\, Pippa Garner\, Mariah Garnett\, Laeh Glenn\, Piero Golia\, Sayre Gomez\, Justin John Greene\, Andrew J.

SUMMARY:A.K. Burns: A Smeary Spot
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception November 28\, 6-10pm\nOn view November 28 – December 17\nGallery Hours Wednesday – Sunday\, 12-6pm\n  \nVideo installation curated by Clara López Menéndez \n…it was ambiguous\, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on. \n—Ursula K. Le Guin\, The Dispossessed \nFrom November 28 through December 17\, Human Resources LA is excited to present\, for the first time in California\, A.K. Burns’ video installation A Smeary Spot (2015). This 53-minute 4-channel video installation is the opening episode of a five-part cycle of multi-media works entitled Negative Space (2012-ongoing) that draws on science fiction\, theater\, philosophy\, and quantum theory. Setting up a parallel cosmology\, A Smeary Spot invites a dialogue between ecological fragility\, marginalized bodies\, and their relationship to resources. \nA Smeary Spot explores the metaphorical ‘sun’ as a manifestation of power\, a source of both life and death and around which the other episodes (in Negative Space) circulate. The title\, is borrowed from feminist sci-fi writer Johanna Russ’s book We Who Are About To…. The sun–– “that smeary spot” –– is a dense concentration of heat and light\, an organizing principle of time\, place and ego. What potential emerges when we glance away from the source and settle into the blurry residue of its afterimage? With political urgency\, the work reorients viewers in a ‘speculative present\,’ by which we are invited to imagine an alternative future. \nThis work was shot in two locations: in the deserts of southern Utah and inside a black box theater\, where performers deliver recitations of appropriated and altered texts that compose a loose manifesto on being. Inside this cinematic experience is a surreal narrative of bodies in transition — bodies that change\, move\, slip between\, act and act out. Among these bodies\, the land\, the water\, the waste pile and the theater are not simply stages upon which actions occur. They are sprawling protagonists\, who\, like the sun are permeating and persistent. \nIn a moment when the logic of political power seems unyielding\, this work presents an aesthetic vision—a speculative space that unbinds us from delusional inherited behaviors\, where the present categories of body\, mind\, land\, “one” and “other” are dispersed in favor of a new relationality. Through moving image and an elaborate (6-channel) sound track\, A Smeary Spot allows us to inhabit this metaphysical offering\, decisively rethinking our conception of language and boundaries (political\, social\, bodily) and their ensuing impact in contemporary understandings of politics. \nThis exhibition of A Smeary Spot was made possible with the generous support of The Foundation of Contemporary Arts Emergency Grants\, The Box\, the Hammer Museum\, and Human Resources LA. The video\, A Smeary Spot (2015)\, was produced with support from Creative Capital\, The Kitchen\, Outpost Cuts and Burns Residency\, Callicoon Fine Arts\, and PARTICIPANT INC\, and in conjunction with performers niv Acosta\, Nayland Blake\, Grace Dunham\, Jack Doroshow (aka Flawless Sabrina)\, Macauley Devun\, Marcelo Gutierrez\, Katherine Hubbard\, Lee Maida\, Matana Roberts\, Jen Rosenblit\, Mariana Valencia and soundtrack scored by artist Geo Wyeth. \n  \nSpecial thanks to Chiara Giovando\, Max Krivinsky\, Kandis Williams\, Becky Stafford\, Lydon Macgregor\, Karla Canseco\, Isidro Pérez García\, Adam Otto Lutz and Jaya Inder Kang \nImage: Still from A Smeary Spot (2015).

SUMMARY:Flawless Sabrina Tribute
DESCRIPTION:Facebook RSVP\nFree\nFrank Simon\, The Queen\, 35mm\, 68min.\, 1968\nCourtesy of www.thequeen1968firstlegaldvd.com\nOn November 18th\, we lost one of the greats – Jack Doroshow / Flawless Sabrina was a fierce role model and pioneer of performance and queer cultures with a legacy that spans 7 decades of advocacy\, activism and drag. In 1967 she staged a drag pageant that was documented by director Frank Simon. We will screen the resulting feature\, The Queen – which is the first feature-length documentary dedicated to the art of drag – in honor of Sabrina\, our reigning queen. \nThe Queen offers one of the earliest cinematic documentations of a drag ball. Depicting the 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Contest for female impersonators held at Town Hall in New York and organized by “mistress of ceremonies” Flawless Sabrina\, the film also features Crystal LaBeija\, who would gain greater fame years later for her appearance in Paris Is Burning. The contestants get settled in their hotel rooms\, gossip\, share beauty secrets\, and discuss their backgrounds. Topics of discussion include gay life\, sex change operations\, problems with the draft\, and “husbands” in the service. Andy Warhol judges the competition and Mario Montez makes a guest appearance\, singing “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend.” \nPresented by Dirty Looks. \nImage: Curtis Carman\, Drag Icon #5\, 8×10”\, 2014

SUMMARY:Heal Her
DESCRIPTION:#HealHer is a global action by women who are coming together to break the silence on violence. Meeting in circles around the world\, we create rituals dedicated to storytelling\, consciousness-raising\, empathetic listening\, and collective healing. \n2017 shifted the narrative on sexual violence. As we enter 2018\, join artists\, healers\, performers\, and activists in holding a space where survivors can speak for themselves and commit to the mutual journey of healing. \n* Bring a flower or offering for the ceremony. Each attendee will be given a healing charm to take home with them. * \nWomen who speak about harassment and assault are often shamed\, disbelieved\, or dismissed. As awareness about violence against women increases through campaigns such as #MeToo\, it is time for those who have been silenced to be heard. Heal Her uses the ancient concept of the women’s circle as a platform for participants to share survival stories\, coping strategies\, and experiences related to gender-based violence and trauma. Known as talking circles\, healing circles\, or moon circles\, the ritual of meeting in circles is rooted in indigenous practices that many communities still engage in today. By coming together through storytelling\, music\, dance\, and ritual\, circles promote group cohesion\, facilitate interpersonal communication\, and provide spiritual guidance. \nHeal Her launches in 2018 with events in Los Angeles\, New York\, Berlin\, Boston\, San Francisco\, London\, Paris\, Baltimore\, and Utrecht. To bring Heal Her to your community\, email healherproject@gmail.com. Collected stories and contributions will be turned into an interactive installation and website. #HealHer is a collaboration between Lena Chen and Annique Delphine\, organizers\, community groups\, activists\, and survivors worldwide. \nThe project has been made possible with funding from DAZA Filmes\, a women-led production company founded in 2010 by Leandra Leal\, Carol Benjamin\, and Rita Toledo in Brazil. Their feature-length documentary As Mil Mulheres / A Thousand Women will show the behind-the-scenes development of Heal Her. \n(Cover image by Annique Delphine) \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n \ninstallation images courtesy of the artist

SUMMARY:New Performances
DESCRIPTION:An evening of short performance by: \nErica Magrey \nAmanda-Faye Jimenez \nAbigail Levine & Corey Fogel \nPasadena House Wives \n Erica Magrey is a Brooklyn-based interdisciplinary artist working with video\, performance\, music\, costume\, sculpture\, photography\, and set design. Her work playfully examines the embodiment of personas in order to inhabit familiar and foreign\, human and non-human characters\, performing an investigative relationship with them. Once conjured\, the persona’s fit may be surprising: like a deja vu glove\, a seamless transition; or\, bulkily\, somewhere on the spectrum toward needs alteration. In videos and live performances\, the audience bears witness to acts of transformation and embodiment; in interactive works\, the user is granted agency to participate in transformative manipulations. \nAmanda-Faye Jimenez is a Blaxican queer fat femme dyke writer and performer. She has performed at SORORITY at The Hammer Museum\, the Radar Productions Queer Readings Series\, and the McDonald’s in Silverlake next to her favorite gay bar. When she isn’t spilling her guts onstage\, she can be found creating semi-relatable social media content @failureprincess and letting her dogs kiss her on the mouth\, even though everyone says that’s some white people shit. \nAbigail Levine is a New York-based choreographer and performer. Her works are rooted in dance and draw from visual and performance art. Corey Fogel is a drummer and artist whose practice is based in momentary encounters often involving the intersection of sounds\, objects\, textiles\, foods. The two artists perform together for the first time on January 12 \nPasadena House Wives met at a cocktail and craft party held every third Sunday of the month at their country club. They bonded over mutual frustrations with absent husbands and annoying children\, their abilities to drink more cocktails then beads on a necklace\, and hot secretive affairs with their children’s college friends. They started playing music together because both their therapists suggested alternative modes of mental and physical release as a way to maintain a healthy outlook on life.
