SUMMARY:Every Unlikely Story
DESCRIPTION:Image credit: Cameron Coffman\, slow crawl\, 66″ x 22″ x 34″\, wood\, clay\, resin\, glass\, ladybug\, aphids\, waterbug\, plants\, dirt\, plastic\, 2018 \nOpening Reception: Saturday\, July 28\, 7-10pm\nExhibition Dates: July 28 – August 11\, 2018\nGallery Hours: Wed-Sun\, 12-6pm \nImagine the chapters in a long book as individual\, freestanding fragments. Take this collection of distinct plot twists\, allegories\, flashbacks\, and scenic descriptions and shuffle them. There is always something compelling about the exquisite corpse—its reliance on chance\, its absurdist form that is at once distorted\, grotesque\, and yet still enticing. \nThis exhibition brings together a disparate grouping of images\, anecdotes\, and narratives that coalesce into a cohesive portrait of the now. They rely on drama\, on fantasy\, and on farce. Some stories plumb the depths of history. Others examine their immediate surroundings. Many are deeply rooted in the personal and explore identity through the lenses of race\, gender\, and nationality. Process is the focal point in some pieces\, where the journey towards the end takes on more significance than the end itself. Other works are more concise portraits; and while they might employ a plainer vocabulary\, they are no less complex. \nThere is a grandmother as she is hoisted from her deathbed. Elsewhere\, on a different empty bed\, crumpled unmade sheets mark the trace of a distant lover. In other spaces\, one finds a hand lit on fire\, but inexplicably luminous and unscathed. And there is another hand whose thin arm connects to the body of a snake\, its outstretched finger resting on a strange box of bugs and dirt. There are layered stories told in song\, gathered in found internet footage from gospel church choirs. There are pieces of buildings—bricks\, stained concrete\, chipped walls—whose nicks and dents tell of one location’s past. Here we are transported to ancient\, foreign lands. At the same time\, we dwell on the political implications of the rapidly changing neighborhoods and gentrifications of our own city. \nAs in all recollection\, there is both sadness and joy. Where there is heartbreak today\, there was once intrigue\, piercing chemistry\, and so many bouquets of flowers. One might get blisters on their feet from salsa dancing all night\, but the memory of a late night out trumps the morning hangover. \nAdrian Abela\nAlex Anderson\nCarey Coleman\nCameron Coffman\nColeman Alexander Collins\nJenny Gagalka\nMariam Graff\nShasha Dothan\nNasim Hantehzadeh\nLouis Heilbronn\nJohn Hulsey\nTodd McQuade\nKamaria Shepherd\nSean Sprague\nHiejin Yoo \nCurated by Simone Krug and Eric Kim

SUMMARY:Arc\, Wobble\, Fade\, Fold
DESCRIPTION:Image: Sasha Bergstrom-Katz\, Cup and Ball\, cast aluminum\, 2018 \nOpening Reception: July 19\, 7-10pm \nGallery Hours: Thursday – Monday\, 12pm-6pm \n  \nSasha Bergstrom-Katz  \nRachel Borenstein  \nNiloufar Emamifar  \nMiranda Javid \nKyle Welker \nKim Garcia  \nJoshua Ross  \nEva Słapa \nAmy Mackay  \n  \nConsider the idea of the fold. It is both a gesture and a mark\, a mode of concealment and of obfuscation. One can get lost in the fold just as the act of folding might provide direction or even answers. A fold is a fracture in the surface and it is a gentle graze. It is\, in this way\, a clever contradiction. A fold implies elasticity\, movement\, and variation. The works in Arc\, Wobble\, Fade\, Fold rely on the tensility of their materials\, the malleability of their formation. These pieces come together in their shifting\, volatile dispositions.  \nIs a fold a boundary? Some works delve into the politics of geographic “air rights” and the arbitrary property rights used to delineate borders and measure public space. Other pieces consider the inherent choreography of the garment as it wrinkles\, puckers\, and cinches on the body. There are abstract documents of constructed or staged group experiences\, where a large-scale painting of curved\, undulating strokes might serve to mark\, or archive\, a collective event.  \nThe fold—or the fissure—is hidden in the systems of other artworks. In one sculptural installation of tangled glass tubes\, both the flow and the source of tube water is concealed by the coiling continuity of its transparent conduit. Another artist explores the interior apparatus of the magician’s false “cup-and-ball” props. Here\, the trick is embedded into the object itself\, eliminating any need for sleight of hand.  \nSome cast structures carry impressions and indentations of tactile molds. These fabricated forms likewise hint at tensions\, misunderstandings\, missed connections—an elaborate index of social interactions. Another work seeks to demarcate definitive moments in more abstract pursuits such as mapping the pollination range of honey bees. Still other pieces dissect the flat surface of the canvas\, carving holes and manipulating material into intricate contours. Short looping animations dwell on mortality and the passage of time\, the folding of the day as the sun sets.  \nAs both a cover and an idea that might open out into something else\, the fold is a point of entry into deconstruction\, revision\, and the broader notion of change. When we see these artworks together\, we see the seams that hold our surroundings.  \nCurated by Simone Krug and Eric Kim

SUMMARY:Sarah Rara: Alias
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nsolar rays reached the surface without meaning \ndepending on the day\nthe observer melts exactly where the sun rises \nthe heavy sun tethers to hangers-on\nthrows them counter-clockwise \nthe northern axis points in the direction\nno one yields \ncolors de-saturate in the dark \na cylindrical projection graphs the sun\nrolled for an eye to look through \nfeel what happened to the horizon after the fires \nwe need to take all that we can\, read the azimuth\, and run \nwhen the sun flickers\, time abolishes pleasing positions \n  \nHuman Resources presents Alias\, an exhibition of new video work by Los Angeles-based artist Sarah Rara. \nRara’s multi-disciplinary practice—incuding performance\, writing\, and video—explores the position of witness within fragile systems. \nFor Alias\, Rara focuses on a characteristic distortion of sampled images—Aliasing—where one grid fails to cleanly capture another\, and separate entities become indistinguishable. One form ingesting another\, a parasite larger than its host: Alias is a story about solar energy\, ruined by observation. \n  \nClosing reception Sunday July 15th\, 3-6pm \nGallery hours Weds 7/11—Sun 11/15 12p—6p

SUMMARY:Frau Fiber Vs. the Machines
DESCRIPTION:Frau Fiber Vs. the Machines \nGallery will be open noon-6pm\, Thursday-Sunday.\n\nOpening reception Thursday June 7th 7-10pm\n\n \nThe works in this exhibition document Frau Fiber’s on-going battle with contemporary apparel manufacturing. In video\, photography and artifacts\, the exhibition makes space to witness Frau Fiber’s attempt to spin yarn\, knit a tube sock and knit a sweater as fast as a machine. This series of textile productions are inspired by the folk lore of the ultimate working-class hero: John Henry. Henry\, who was immortalized in verse and myth in the 1800’s\, fought and lost a valiant battle against the drill machine that took his life and ultimately replaced the jobs of tireless railroad workers. \nThe exhibition is curated by Frau Fiber’s archivist and biographer\, Carole Frances Lung. \nFrau Fiber is a textile super-hero who uses pedagogical\, material and playful approaches to teach communities about the human cost of mass production and consumption. Many of her spirited durational performances and other projects take place at Frau Fiber’s store-front headquarters in downtown Long Beach\, CA\, called the Institute for Labor Generosity Workers and Uniforms(ILGWU). Her legacy project is the Sewing Rebellion\, a national campaign to “STOP SHOPPING AND START SEWING!”. The Rebellion is a grass roots movement that empowers people through skill-sharing\, facilitates community building\, and advocates for social change. The Rebellion connects participants to the history of “thrift and reuse circles” and “quilting bees\,” organizing people to come together to share resources\, talk politics\, and promote change in the fashion and textile industry. Sewing Rebellions have been hosted in Chicago; New York City; New Orleans; Denver; Sheboygan\, WI; Ames\, Iowa; San Francisco; Los Angeles; Long Beach\, CA; Asheville\, NC; Portland\, ME; Portland\, OR; London\, UK; and Weimar Germany. \nCarole Frances Lung is an artist and Associate Professor of Fashion Fiber and Materials at California State University\, Los Angeles. Through her alter ego Frau Fiber\, Carole advocates for an alternative vocabulary of fashion and textile production and consumption\, one that is less wasteful and has fair labor practices. Frau Fiber’s works crafting of one of a kind garments\, installations\, performances\, and social sculpture pay homage to textile and apparel manufacturing histories andcritique contemporary production systems. Her slow durational practice of careful listening\, problem solving\, skill sharing and community building engages in hands-on experiences\, which attempt to instigate change in the current Fast Fashion system. Frau Fiber’s performances have been exhibited at Craft in America Study Center\, Jane Addams Hull House Museum\, Craft and Folk Art Museum\, Center for Craft Creativity and Design\, Museum of Contemporary Craft\, OTIS College of Art and Design\, Appalachian State University and the Ghetto Biennale Port Au Prince Haiti. Publications include: KCET\, Surface Design Journal\, American Craft Council: Shaping the Future of Craft\, Art in America\, and Art Papers. She has lectured at Bauhaus University in Weimar Germany\, The School of Art and Design Oslo\, Norway\, Arrowmont and Haystack Mountain School of Craft. Carole has been awarded: Kohler Arts and Industry Residency\, Craft Creativity and Design Center Grant\, At the Edge Gallery 400 award and Fred A. Hillbruner Artist Book Fellowship\, and Faculty Fellow for the Public Good. Carole maintains the Institute for Labor Generosity Workers and Uniforms\, Frau Fiber’s headquarters and experimental factory in downtown Long Beach\, CA.

SUMMARY:Sex Tape Records presents Something Wild
DESCRIPTION:SEX. An homage to the 70s Vivienne Westwood store of the same name and the Gun Club’s inimitable song\, Sex Beat. \nTAPE. Every project is recorded to analog tape. \nRECORDS. All releases are pressed on vinyl. \nSex Tape Records is the concept of Costume and Fashion Designer\, Stacy Ellen Rich. As one of the few woman run record labels\, Rich’s prime directive is to meld her visual and aural obsessions of 70s and early 80s of glam punk\, death rock and beyond by pushing them into the now with new bands and diverse voices. Rich has also put her design skills to work and will present a pop up shop stocked with not only records but a capsule collection of Sex Tape Records attire and accessories. Sex Tape Records presents Something Wild will be a night to toast the underground and give credance to the magic that is always found there. \n8pm til late

SUMMARY:James Hoff ❖ Free The Land ❖ Lukas Marxt ❖ Phan & Karnsomport
DESCRIPTION:Audio-Visual Program // Live Performances + Cinema \n  \nJames Hoff  \nFree The Land  \nLukas Marxt \nEllen Phan & Nisa Karnsomport \n  \ncurated by Tim Leanse \n  \ndoors at eight – donate eight \nprogram begins promptly at 8:30 \n\n\n\n\n\n  \n  \nJAMES HOFF (PAN – NYC) \nJames Hoff is a Brooklyn-based artist who tweaks systems across disciplines – from fine art object-making to multimedia actions. His discordant sound work issued on the PAN label has collaged riots and attacked the vernacular – famously introducing computer viruses to drum machine programs and leveraging the resultant degradations as compositional fodder. At this audio-visual summit\, Hoff will perform HOBO UFO – a live\, video-projected\, rapid-fire click and spin through Google Street View driven by his real-time audio – hyper-rhythmic and fractured. HOBO UFO’s debut at Unsound 2017 in Kraków\, Poland\, utilized streetview imagery of Pripyat – a city in Chernobyl’s Zone of Exclusion. For this realization at Human Resources\, however\, Hoff’s peripatetic virtual dérive will course through the host city of Los Angeles. HOBO UFO is slated for multimedia release on PAN. \nhttp://www.james-hoff.com \nFREE THE LAND (Ascetic House – LA) \nFree The Land is an evolving project of change agent Jesse Sanes. A media intervention of environmental impressions natural and domestic\, it manifests as electronic sound\, installation art\, and archive. Live actions fold field recordings\, found sound\, and computer speech into a compost of synthesis and free manipulation. For this Spring outing\, Sanes sonics with contributing member Nial Morgan to express cold and distant extremes as a video-projected ‘live browse’ through an FTL file-set riffs on the project’s recent collaborative communiqué\, ‘Arctic Compilation.’ \nhttp://freethe.land \nLUKAS MARXT (Köln\, Germany) \n‘Imperial Valley (Cultivated Run-off)’  Color\, 2018 \nAustrian filmmaker Lukas Marxt explores places isolated and remote\, considering how landscapes are altered by – and the degree to which they remain impervious to – human influence.  Here he will screen a recent short shot above Southern California’s Imperial Valley. Flying by drone\, we reconnoiter the region’s agricultural infrastructure\, finding a language in the colors\, shapes\, and structures of it’s incursion into the vast and extreme Sonoran Desert. Shifts of perspective and perception are eerily matched by the psychoacoustics of the film’s hypnotic soundtrack. ‘Imperial Valley (Cultivated Run-off)’ premiered at Berlinale 2018. Filmmaker in attendance. \nhttp://lukasmarxt.com \nELLEN PHAN & NISA KARNSOMPORT (Elixir Sounds – LA) \nDithered out over the country are those that know what flows when Ellen Phan’s face is lit by her laptop screen: cascades of concrète and jagged valleys of squelch\, with an intention set to nothing less than brainwave state change. On choice occasions Nisa Karnsomport plies her wares to filter Phan’s noise and signal into a high-velocity sound-reactive video: flashing monochromatic animations\, abstract and geometric. \nhttp://ellenphan.tumblr.com

SUMMARY:Terry Riley's In C performed by David Harrow
DESCRIPTION:1964: The year that Terry Riley first performed In C\, the piece that laid the foundations for the entire minimalist movement\, is also the year of my birth. \nTurning full cycle to the present\, a time when contemporary synthesis has brought the principle of variation through repetition to our fingertips\, reaching for the sublime through sonic immersion is needed more now than ever. The compositional quality of In C shines through the use of the new media\, in fact the way the 53 phrases of the piece work with modern electronic is captivating. By programming them into contemporary sequencing methods new avenues for improvisation are revealed\, manipulating the very substance of the sounds themselves. \n“One of the joys of In C is the interaction of the instruments  in polyrhythmic combinations that spontaneously arise between patterns. Some quite fantastic shapes will arise and disintegrate as these groups move through the piece ” – Terry Riley \nAfter a rediscovering Terry Riley’s importance in repetitive patterned sound whilst researching the entire genre of Minimalism for a class I was teaching in Los Angeles\, it became clear to me this piece should be reinvented\, shifted from it’s temporal birthplace to reveal it still firmly at home\, flourishing  in todays Californian experimental music scene. \nPlease join me in a celebration of this icon in our part of the pacific rim. \nABOUT DAVID HARROW  \n\n\n\nDavid Harrow could easily play on musical heritage if he wanted\, but that’s not his style. The man has played with enough true legends of overground and underground music for several lifetimes\, and could dine out for years on the hair- raising stories of far out and extreme musical scenes he’s been involved with. But what links all his musical adventures so far is a constant quest for new and stimulating sounds\, and that applies as strongly now as when he first launched into the post-punk climate in the 80ʼs So through synth-soaked new wave and Neue Deutsche Welle\, through playing with disco legends like Razormaid on the San Francisco scene\, through going deep into dub and experimental electronics as part of the On-U Sound production and live team\, through the dirty rave haunts of London with Andrew Weatherall\, through huge international tours as Technova\, through a huge pop smash with Billie Ray Martin\, through his live drumʼnʼbass extravaganzas as James Hardway\, through the trance world\, on through the Californian bass and weird-beat scenes as OICHO\, to the esoteric ambient soundscapes and percussion soundtracks he releases today\, Harrow is always\, as a wise man once said “on to the next one”. And that hunger for the next sound\, the next new idea\, is what keeps his music as dazzlingly exciting as it has ever been. \n$5 suggested donation

SUMMARY:Biquini Wax: A Dangerous Obsession
DESCRIPTION:A Dangerous Obsession\n(A thriller of plastic moments)\nMay 11th-28th\nOrganized by Biquini Wax EPS \n \nA Dangerous Obsession (A thriller of plastic moments)\n  \n\nExhibition Dates: May 11th-28th\nOpening Reception: Friday\, May 11th\, 7-10pm \nExhibition is open on Saturdays and Sundays\, 12-8pm\, and by appointment. \nOrganized by Biquini Wax EPS \n\n  \nDuring three weekends in May\, writers and artists based here (USA) or based there (MX) will explore the marshy lands of NAFTAlgia in search of the mythical trade deficit. \nA Dangerous Obsession alludes to the temptation of US presidents (from George W. Bush to Donald Trump) to justify trade wars in the name of a “trade deficit.” \nWe believe that Trump uses the trade deficit\, and specifically that of the automobile industry\, as a rhetorical and ideological strategy of nostalgia\, because it uses one of the pillars of the modern American nation: the automobile industry\, and the myths of companies such as Ford\, General Motors\, etc. The slogan of his campaign\, “Make America Great Again”\, responds to the popular demand and the desire to believe that there was a better form of capitalism. This populist rhetoric assumes that the way to sublimate the United State’s current economic impotence\, brought about by the failure or end of this ‘pure’ capitalism –an earthly paradise– is by pointing out the culprits of its disappearance: Mexico\, China\, Russia\, the Middle East\, etc. \nFor A Dangerous Obsession we have compiled a series of economic-political histories of commodities —a series of critiques on commodity fetishism— that use as their starting point the trade deficit and the renegotiation of NAFTA\, written by storytellers from the US and Mexico. \nWe will summon a certain “structure of feeling”\, which we have called Naftalgia (a combination of nostalgia and NAFTA). Naftalgia is a type of specific sensibility under neoliberalism\, conditioned and motivated by the illusion of a better Mexico / USA\, which has been and continues to be culturally consumed as comprised of a general lacking; an ideological deficit of the promise of capitalist plenitude now absent\, on hold\, or disappeared forever. \nThis transnational impulse has a hole\, a house and a temple. From the hole it comes out exports-imports from CDMX-LA and LA-CDMX\, the house it is BWEPS house but shrinked by a shrink ray that we built after a succesful Kickstarter campaign and the temple it is a broadcasting live stream confessionary on YouTube about Naftalgia experiences and other contemporaries structures of feelings. \nA project with arts\, images\, moves\, ideas\, feelings\, thoughts\, words by Román Luján\, Gerardo Contreras\, Zyanya Arellano\, Nancy García\, Carlos Val\, Aron Chilewich\, Namourah\, Havi\, Perrealismo\, Baile\, liberación y resistencia\, Edna Dávalos\, Mario V Romero\, Verónica González\, Diana Cantarey\, Yacusis\, Arte y Trabajo\, Noél René Cisneros\, Nora de la Cruz\, Jorge Comensal\, Aura García Junco\, Yolanda Segura\, Víctor Santana\, Isauro Huizar\, Manuel Solano\, John Bartle\, Israel Urmeer\, Nika Chillewich\, Natalia de la Rosa\, Valentina de la Rosa\, Paloma Contreras Lomas\, Andrea Medina\, Daniel (little bitch) Aguilar Ruvalcaba\, Sebastian Hernandez\, Wendy Cabrera Rubio\, David Gilbert\, Clara Bolivar\, Bernardo Núñez Magdaleno\, Alejandro Gómez Arias\, Hugo Cervantes\, Samantha Blake Goodman\, Jennifer Tyburczy\,  Jorge Satorre\, Abraham González Pacheco\, Gustavo Cruz\, SM Yaniz\, Roselin Rodríguez\, Torie Zalben\, Neil Mauricio Andrade\, Andrea Ancira\, Cristóbal Gracia\, irak morales\, Iñaki Bonillas\, Andrew Roberts\, Mauricio Múñoz\, Pierre Vals and José María Rubio\, Madeline Jimenez\, Arnold J Kemp\, kids from the house behind\, protestors\,  Caroline Laura Gabrielle\, cannibis artis\, SANGREE\, Bob Square Pans fans\, and sandwich artist from Guanajuato. and many other whatever beings… \n  \nThroughout the exhibition Isauro Huizar will do an object based choreography with artworks\, fragments and material feelings imported from the house of Biquini Wax\, made by Pierre Vals and José María Rubio\, Madeline Jimenez\, John Bartle\, Cristóbal Gracia\, Arnold J Kemp\, Daniel Aguilar Ruvalcaba\, kids from the house behind\, protestors\, Manuel Solano\, Mauricio Múñoz\, Arte y Trabajo\, Israel Urmeer\, Caroline Laura Gabrielle\, Wendy Cabrera Rubio\, Paloma Contreras Lomas\, SANGREE\, Bob Square Pans fans\, and sandwich artist from Guanajuato. \n♥ Friday May 11th ♥ \n→ 8:00pm ← PST \nMembers of Biquini Wax EPS will read two poems.

SUMMARY:Keijaun Thomas: I Knew That Was You
DESCRIPTION:In a special iteration\, Keijaun Thomas will present two sections from her current project\, My Last American Dollar: Round 1. Tricking and Flipping Coins: Making Dollars Hit and Round 2. Black Angels in the Infield: Dripping Faggot Sweat. I am thinking about resistance. How do we resist temptation\, how do we slow down\, how do we play\, how do we survive? How do we hold space for each other\, how do you carry the multiplicities of being young\, gifted and black. \n“It is complicated. it is blurry. it is rooted and unrooted in my peoples history. my people being black people. it is difficult and hard\, it is attached to my spine\, it is connected to the middle passage of the Atlantic slave trade\, it is in my blood\, it is in the color of my shit in the toilet bowel\, it is in the smell of my ancestors shit for weeks on end decaying\, decaying on their chained bodies. it is crystal clear. it is as blue as water\, it is as heavy as 1\,000 black bodies being dumped into the ocean. it is dark. it is so peculiar. it is only felt as phantom pains\, missing links\, pedestals of display. it is the value of the auction block\, it is the price of your coffee beans\, your sugar and your tea leaves.your coffee beans\, your sugar and your tea leaves. it is unforgiven and not speakable. it is unbelievable and thinkable. it is high yellow\, red bone\, caramel\, chocolate. it is so black\, it is blue. it is so black\, it is blue. it is so fucking queer\, it is so fucking clear\, it is so fucking queer\, it is detached and left for the faggots that can never be black men. it is detached and left for the faggots that can never be black men. it is fragile\, it is as soft as cotton and hair weaves. as cotton and hair weaves. it is an open as the wounds on a slaves back. my ancestors backs. it is everything that i have ever known and resisted. it is everything that I have ever known and resisted. it is every piece of fabric and different colored paper with numerical value. it is the palms of my hands\, my fathers hands\, my brothers hands\, my mothers hands\, my sisters hands\, my aunties hands\, my cousins hands\, my children’s hands. it is… complicated.” \n— “it is complicated” (2018) \nKeijaun Thomas creates live performance and multimedia installations that oscillate between movement and materials that function as tools\, objects and structures\, as well as a visual language that can be read\, observed\, and repeated within spatial\, temporal\, and sensorial environments. Her work investigates the histories\, symbols\, and images that construct notions of Black identity within Black personhood.  Thomas earned their Masters degree from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a current  Franklin Furnace Fund Recipient. Thomas has shown work nationally and internationally in Los Angeles\, CA; Portland\, OR; Portland\, ME; Chicago\, IL; Saugatuck\, MI; Boston\, MA; New York\, NY; Miami\, FL; and Taipei\, Taiwan; Paris\, France; Mexico City\, Mexico; Santiago\, Chile; Istanbul\, Turkey; Beirut\, Lebanon; Saskatchewan and Vancouver\, Canada; and the United Kingdom. \nNicolas Bermeo is an artist currently living in Los Angeles\, California. He is the founder of both Like • Magazine and Like • Movie Night and has shown at 315 Gallery\, The Echo Park Film Center\, The Squeaky Wheel\, The New Latin Wave Festival\, The Queer Arts Festival and  The Hyde Park Art Center. \n

SUMMARY:CARRIAGE: Matty Davis & Ben Gould
DESCRIPTION:CARRIAGE \nby Matty Davis and Ben Gould \n  \nSunday\, May 6\, 2018 \n7:00PM–9:00PM (performance begins promptly at 7:15PM) \nHuman Resources\, 410 Cottage Home St\, Los Angeles\, CA 90012 \nFREE \n  \nCarriage is a site-responsive performance created by Matty Davis and Ben Gould that radically explores control and empathy\, motored in part by the raw energy of Gould’s Tourette Syndrome.  \nThis performance is informed by evolving senses of the body—injury\, trauma\, healing\, and growth—and offers a unique opportunity to create a work that draws from the variance of Davis and Gould’s distinct physicalities. The result is an intense\, viscerally and sonically charged experience\, where empathy is a physical tool\, resistance offers stability\, and we are all cast out into a space that levels us\, brings us real fear\, awakening\, new vocabularies and physical structures. \n  \nThis year the work travels the U.S. with performances in a wide range of sites\, responding to the ground and the way surfaces offer the body resistance and support. From ice\, to grass\, to concrete\, and within a wide variety of architectures\, the work continuously evolves and re-composes itself according to the unique visual\, sonic\, and kinesthetic possibilities of each location. Upcoming\, Carriage will be presented in partnership with Lightbox in Detroit\, MI on June 9\, 2018\, and upon a boat on the Chicago River later that month. \n  \nCarriage has been workshopped in New York City at Judson Church\, the Watermill Center\, the Edward F. Albee Foundation\, the Philadelphia School\, and Queenslab. It was supported through a residency at the Kickstarter Headquarters in NYC.  \n  \nYou may view Held Over Shore\, a 16mm short film based on Carriage made with artist Eryka Dellenbach here: https://vimeo.com/246698783/981a46c5a2 \n  \nMatty Davis is an artist from Pittsburgh\, PA\, where his grandfather worked for decades in the steel mills. His interdisciplinary work seeks embodied transformation\, often through collaboration with other people\, materials\, and landscapes. Described by the New Yorker as “fearless\,” his work is noted for its combination of intense\, imaginative physicality and intimacy. Recently\, Davis has been invested in how particular conditions of the body\, the elements\, and the ground necessarily impact kinesthesia\, energy systems\, and psychological states\, partially in relation to having undergone intensive hand surgery last year due to a saw accident. In 2012\, he co-founded and continues to co-artistic direct BOOMERANG\, a performance project based in New York City. His work has been presented by the Art Institute of Chicago\, Steppenwolf Theater\, the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago\, Judson Church\, the 92nd St. Y\, the Watermill Center\, Dixon Place\, Danspace Project\, and the Arts Arena in Paris\, among others. He was the recipient of a 2016 Visual Arts Fellowship from the Edward F. Albee Foundation\, and has recently been an artist-in-residence at the Watermill Center and Kickstarter’s HQ in Brooklyn. Davis teaches at colleges and schools throughout the US\, including New York University\, Columbia College\, Oberlin College\, Muhlenberg College\, Kenyon College\, The Professional Performing Arts High School in New York\, and The Philadelphia School. More information is available at www.mattydavis.net \n  \nBen Gould is an artist currently living and working in New York City. After being diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome\, Gould’s studio practice has transformed to harbor a new investment in the body\, exploring limits\, resistance\, and the loss of control. Grounded in performance\, his multidisciplinary practice is built upon collaboration\, intimacy\, and urgency – cultivated by a deep interest in how energy is directed\, rerouted\, transformed and transferred. His condition has become an engine for movement-based performance work that is in search of stabilization\, and driven by an evolving practice of energetic restraint and release. Within a growing mythos\, a space for fantasy and freedom is created for the corresponding videos\, images\, and objects that emerge from this process. Gould has performed site-specific works across the country\, from varied geographies to institutional spaces – leading to solo exhibitions at Plug Projects in Kansas City and Ballroom Projects in Chicago\, and collaborations with musicians\, rock climbers\, singers\, and designers. Gould has apprenticed with master craftsmen in California\, was a 2015 Ox-Bow Fellow\, and a Kickstarter Artist in Residence in 2017. He was born in Grass Valley\, California in 1993 and was raised there\, in the foothills of the Sierra Mountains\, next to a decommissioned gold mine and a river. Most recently he has performed and shown new works in Kansas City\, San Antonio\, Miami\, and at the Watermill Center and Judson Church in New York.

SUMMARY:The Institute of Ceramics and Alliance
DESCRIPTION:Anna Delgado and Brenda Starks are Southern California ceramic artists whose art examines identity and place. Though their works differ formally\, they have overlapping themes that explore heritage\, transitional spaces\, and the trajectory of clay as an art medium. Together\, the artists have dug clay from Los Angeles county to use for their new show\, “The Institute of Ceramics and Alliance.” Visitors will be invited to interact with the clay in different ways. On the day of the opening\, Anna will host a community event where clay will be available for attendees to help make pieces that will be become part of the show\, and Brenda will provide a contemplative space to allow a respite for people to sit with clay in its slip form. For the duration of the show\, HRLA will have on display traditional and experimental pieces\, projections\, and clay in its fired form\, raw form\, and slip form. On May 3rd the artists will host a concert. At the closing on May 5th\, the artists will host a poetry reading.  \nEvent Calendar: \nApril 28th at 6-8 pm: Opening \nApril 28th 5-6 pm: “Hands in Clay” Community Activity  \nMay 3rd at 8-10 pm: Music by Sherry Valence \nMay 5th 1-5 pm: “Nuestra América” Poetry Reading Event \nAnna Delgado is an interdisciplinary artist working with ceramics and projection to address ideas of belonging\, migration\, and displacement. Her work has been included in multiple publications and exhibited throughout the US and Europe. She has co-written grants and managed teams to create and install large ceramic tile public art murals. Anna was a Teaching Fellow at UNC Chapel Hill and graduated with an MFA in 2015. She currently teaches ceramic art at CSU San Bernardino and Chaffey College. Anna’s artwork examines multicultural identity through fragments of stereotypical and ritualized objects and actions. She rediscovers and reinterprets what it means to be an American and is interested in the recurring relevance of images\, such as images of hands\, like 40\,000-year-old cave paintings of hand stencils and how similar they look to today’s emoji hands. Clay is a material with its own connotations\, and as a geographic marker\, it represents a place and is as nomadic as we are. Clay is one of the few materials used today in the same way as in ancient civilizations. \nBrenda Starks was born and raised in Southern California and currently lives and works in Los Angeles. She received her BA from CSU San Bernardino and is an MFA candidate at CSU Los Angeles. Brenda creates large sculptural works\, and although she is very enthusiastic about ceramics\, her conceptual inclinations are such that no one medium will satisfy her work. Her sculptural works are created with undertones that probe slyly at African-American identity\, pop culture\, music\, technology\, politics and social activism. Brenda’s work has been displayed in galleries throughout California including at the Luckman Fine Arts Complex\, and her ceramic works can be seen in Sam Maloof’s Permanent Collection. Brenda is interested in creating a place where people can share their different values or traditions with one another and reflect these ideas in that space. She is interested in creating images with raw clay because it becomes the landscape that it physically came from\, and simultaneously it can be converted into a secondary and potentially completely different form. \nMay 3rd at 8pm: Music by Sherry Valence  \nHRLA and The Institute of Ceramics and Alliance will host music by Sherry Valence.  Sherry Valence is an Indie Pop band formed in 2016. The band consists of vocalist Danielle Zamora\, guitarist Ryan Massie\, guitarist Jess Kelly\, bassist Sean Kelly\, and drummer Joseph Gallegos. Sherry Valence is a Los Angeles band and they released their first EP\, Call Your Dogs\, on January 27\, 2018. \nMay 5th from 1-4pm: Nuestra América Poetry Reading \n“Nuestra América” celebrates the unique voices and styles of writers and poets who live in Southern California. The title of the poetry reading refers to José Martí’s seminal essay\, which was first published in 1891 in La Revista Ilustrada de Nueva York (New York) and then in El Partido Liberal (Mexico City).

SUMMARY:Christine Tavolacci and Ted Byrnes perform John Cage’s Ryoanji
DESCRIPTION:TWO PERFORMANCES – 8pm and 9:30pm \nDoors at 7pm \n$15 Suggested Donation \nOn the surface\, a comparison might be hazarded between John Cage’s mid-eighties composition Ryoanji and the untitled work at the center of “Cosm\, Organization-Construction\, Second Instance\,” the debut Los Angeles exhibition of Bay Area artist Anja Weiser Flower.  \nIndeed\, both works share an interest in surfaces and their relationship to time. In Cage’s case\, this arises through the musical transposition\, via a graphic score\, of the paths traced by fifteen moss-covered stones across the surface of a rock garden raked daily by Zen monks at the composition’s eponymous Kyoto temple. In Flower’s case\, the intricate\, primarily textile surface of the central portion of her work\, painstakingly developed over several years\, both conceals and reveals layers of materiality and meaning\, as the visible articulation of the work evolves over the course of the show’s run. Both artists share an interest in the intermediate zone between physical and sonic space\, as elaborated over the course of VOLUME’s event program for Flower’s exhibition. \nAs such\, VOLUME and Human Resources are honored to present a performance of Cage’s Ryoanji by flutist Christine Tavolacci\, co-founder and co-director of the celebrated Southland ensemble\, and percussionist Ted Byrnes as the closing event of “Cosm\, Organization-Construction\, Second Instance.” This evening will present a unique opportunity to experience the final articulation of this important artwork in tandem with an interpretation of Cage’s composition by two leading figures in contemporary experimental music. \nThere will be two performances of this work\, taking place at 8pm and 9:30pm\, with doors opening at 7pm. Tickets may be purchased in advance or at the door for a suggested donation of $15. The performance will take place in darkness\, with Flower’s work providing the sole source of illumination in the main exhibition space. \nThis event is intended to be accessible to users of wheelchairs and other accessibility devices. Human Resources’ front entrance has one step\, with a folding wheelchair ramp available. The side entrance is wheelchair accessible. Human Resources does not have a wheelchair accessible restroom. The bathroom is gender neutral and has 2 stalls adjacent to each other. Please contact Human Resources with any accessibility questions or requests. \nABOUT CHRISTINE TAVOLACCI \nChristine Tavolacci is a Los Angeles-based flutist\, composer\, and educator specializing in contemporary and experimental music. She has traveled across the United States and Europe to study and perform\, and has been involved in the premieres of many new works\, including those by Alvin Lucier\, James Saunders\, Michael Pisaro\, Chiyoko Slavnics\, Carolyn Chen\, and Catherine Lamb.  \nChristine is active as a soloist\, improviser\, curator\, and chamber musician both in California and internationally. She is co-founder and co-director of Southland Ensemble\, as well as a member of the Dog Star Orchestra and Gurrisonic. Her playing has been released on Orenda Records\,  Slub Music (Japan)\, and Tzadik. She has been a guest lecturer at both UCLA and CalArts\, an associate instructor at UC San Diego\, and has taught several workshops on contemporary music to children of various ages.  \nIn 2006\, Christine received her BFA in flute performance from California Institute of the Arts.  She has also received her Diplôme de Specialisation with mention trés bien from the Conservatoire National de Region Strasbourg in Strasbourg\, France\, where she studied flute with Mario Caroli from 2006-2008. Christine completed her Doctorate (DMA) in Contemporary Music Performance at the University of California San Diego in the spring of 2017. \nABOUT TED BYRNES \nTed Byrnes is a drummer/percussionist living in Los Angeles. An alumnus of the Berklee College of Music in Boston\, MA\, he comes from a jazz background and has since made his home in the worlds of free improvisation\, new music\, electro-acoustic music\, and noise. \nTed primarily works in ad hoc improvisational settings\, but has standing improvisational groups including: a group with John Wiese\, a duo with Jeff Parker\, a duo with Chris Cooper (AQH)\, a duo with Charlie Mumma\, a duo with Sam McKinlay\, a duo with William Hutson\, a trio with Jacob Wick and Michael Foster\, among others. Additionally\, Ted has played in duo/trio/or ensemble settings with: Mazen Kerbaj\, Matt Weston\, Ingebrigt Haker Flaten\, Charlemagne Palestine\, Alfred 23 Harth\, Arrington de Dionyso\, Jaap Blonk\, Torsten Muller\, Kim Myhr\, Jim Denley\, Lloyd Honeybrook\, Chris Schlarb\, Mike Watt\, Paul Masvidal\, the LAFMS (including Smegma\, Airway\, Ace Farren Ford’s Artificial Art Ensemble\, Rick and Joe Potts\, Fredrik Nilsen\, Tom Recchion\, Vetza\, etc)\, Sissy Spacek (the band)\, Maher Shalal Hash Baz\, and more. \nTed’s recorded output oscillates between heavily acoustic music and harsh noise while keeping a similar approach. For a thorough overview of recordings\, please visit the Discography page of his website. \nTed has also collaborated with/worked for a variety of visual artists: he has accompanied a Doug Aitken “happening\,” scored and performed percussion for an Emily Mast performance\, collaborated with Olivia Booth to play her glass artworks\, collaborated with Dani Tull on a sound performance\, performed with John Knuth and Bret Nicely at an installation in an empty pool\, and has performed for FLUXUS artist Jeff Perkins on multiple occasions for his projector/light installations. \nCurrently\, Ted is delving further into the possibilities and realities of solo drumset performance in addition to continuing to work with his existing projects.

SUMMARY:Nicholas Deyoe and Matt Barbier
DESCRIPTION:TWO SETS – 8pm and 9:30pm \nDoors at 7pm \n$5-15 Sliding Scale \nVOLUME and Human Resources are pleased to present a performance by guitarist Nicholas Deyoe and trombonist Matt Barbier\, as part of “Cosm\, Organization-Construction\, Second Instance\,” an exhibition of new work by Anja Weiser Flower. Combining both improvisation and multi-channel electronics\, both Deyoe and Barbier will work with large pedal setups to create rich textures of feedback loops and other processed material\, dynamically relayed through multiple amplifiers spread throughout the darkened space. With Flower’s work\, a centralized\, receding point of fixation\, providing a kind of dais and altar\, the performance will build on the transiting and circumambulatory nature of her work to create an enveloping\, panoramic sonic experience. \nThe fourth event in this seven-part series\, Deyoe and Barbier’s performance skillfully combines the two major areas of this event program’s focus–instrumental improvisation and performance on the one hand\, multi-channel electronic work on the other. A hybrid electro-acoustic entity playing on opposite ends of Flower’s work\, the duo will lead a sonic and cosmic transit around this central axis point\, while audience members will be encouraged to relate to both by freely moving throughout the space. As such\, the evening will present an opportunity to draw closer to the often dual influence of sound on Flower’s practice\, ranging from the riot-\, war-\, and crowd-like sounds in Iannis Xenakis’ probabilistic and electronic compositions to the intense silence emanating from Nicholas Poussin’s landscape paintings\, which for him was the confrontation with death. \nTickets may be purchased in advance or at the door on a suggested sliding scale donation of $5 to $15. There will be two performances this evening\, one at 8pm and one at 9:30pm.  VOLUME strives to make its programming as accessible as possible\, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. All proceeds from the show will go towards supporting the artist and production expenses. \nThis event is intended to be accessible to users of wheelchairs and other accessibility devices. Human Resources’ front entrance has one step\, with a folding wheelchair ramp available. The side entrance is wheelchair accessible. Human Resources does not have a wheelchair accessible restroom. The bathroom is gender neutral and has 2 stalls adjacent to each other. Please contact Human Resources with any accessibility questions or requests. \nABOUT NICHOLAS DEYOE \nNicholas Deyoe is a Los Angeles based composer\, conductor\, and guitarist\, and is the Co– Founder and Artistic Director of the wasteLAnd concert series. His music has been called “intriguingly complex and excitedly lush” by the LA Times. The New York Times wrote that Deyoe’s a new(er) anxiety “contrasted filigree lightness and explosive loudness…without seeming to strain for effect.” Drawn to sounds that are inherently physical\, Nicholas strives to create music that engages listeners intellectually and emotionally by appealing to their inner physicality. His compositions combine uses of noise\, delicacy\, drama\, fantasy\, brutality\, and lyricism to create a diverse sonic experience. As a guitarist\, Nicholas strives to further the already vast sound world of the electric guitar by experimenting with microtonal tunings\, preparation\, bows\, and beer cans. He has received commissions from The LA Philharmonic\, Carnegie Hall\, USINESONORE Festival\, The La Jolla Symphony\, Palimpsest\, and several soloists. His music has been performed in throughout North America\, Europe\, and Japan. As a conductor\, Nicholas has performed with wasteLAnd\, ICE\, The La Jolla Symphony Orchestra\, Red Fish Blue Fish\, Ensemble Ascolta\, The Darmstadt Preisträgerensemble\, Noise\, The University of Northern Colorado Symphony Orchestra\, and many ad-hoc ensembles in the United States and Germany. He holds a Ph.D. in composition from UC San Diego where he studied with Roger Reynolds. Nicholas is currently on faculty at California Institute of the Arts where he conducts The Ensemble and teaches composition. \nABOUT MATT BARBIER \nMatt Barbier is an LA based trombonist and composer focused on experimental intonation\, noise\, and the physical processes of his instrument. His playing has been described by the LA Times as being “of intense\, brilliant\, virtuosic growling that gave the striking impression that Barbier was dismantling the instrument while playing it.” \nTo encourage new repertoire and the expansion of his instrument\, Matt engages in collaborative relationships with a range of composers including Wolfgang von Schweinitz\, Michelle Lou\, Nicholas Deyoe\, David Brynjar Franzson\, Timothy McCormack\, and Katherine Young. He has also given world premieres of works by a wide spectrum of composers including Katharina Rosenberger\, Richard Barrett\, Catherine Lamb\, James Tenney\, Anne LeBaron\, Scott Walker\, and Jürg Frey. \nMatt is a founding member of gnarwhallaby\, the low brass duo\, RAGE Thormbones\, with Weston Olencki\, Trio Kobayashi\, wildUp\, and is an assistant director of wasteLAnd music. Matt is a member of the performing arts faculty at CalArts and teaches trombone and euphonium at Los Angeles City College (LACC). \nMatt has performed for the Monday Evening Concerts\, LA Phil’s Green Umbrella\, Internationales Musikinstitut Darmstadt\, Dartington International Summer School\, the Museum of Jurassic Technology\, Hamburg’s KlangWerkTage and Kampnagel\, Berlin’s 7Hours\, Palimpsest Ensemble\, InAuthentica\, Carnegie’s Zankel Hall\, the New Century Players\, and The Ensemble at CalArts\, as well as presenting guest lectures at CalArts\, UCSD\, UCSB\, University of British Columbia\, and Simon Fraser University.

SUMMARY:Pauline Gloss: Lullabies for the Psychotic and Other Recent Work
DESCRIPTION:Literary sound-artist Pauline Gloss will present an evening of new and recent work in the text-sound / sound-poetry tradition. She will perform a new piece for electronics and spoken voice\, conduct a participatory language game\, and present her new cycle for solo voice\, “Lullabies for the Psychotic.”  \nPauline’s current body of work is concerned with how the smallest bits of language— in both their sonic and meaning-making dimensions— can\, through repetition\, variation\, and syntactical rewiring\, create temporary sonic and semantic meaning-making structures.  \nHer work investigates and foregrounds the physicality of language by rendering it architecturally. She makes of its discreet bits shifty semantic and sonic building-blocks whose stability is always already in question.  \nWith the character and reach of this tool set\, she attempts to form a language in which the boundaries and traditional formations of selfhood are plied\, questioned\, and reformed. \nPauline Gloss is a writer and literary sound-artist based in Los Angeles. Her language-sound work attempts to dramatize and expand language in its timbral\, rhythmic\, textural\, and meaning-making dimensions.  \nShe runs Spoken Records\, a label specializing in the release of work in the Text-Sound tradition. She has been written about favorably in art and music publications and has performed or had work shown in Los Angeles\, London\, and New York at institutions including MoCA Geffen\, Cal Arts\, Resonance FM (London)\, Poetic Research Bureau\, The Lambda Literary Festival\, Automata\, Betalevel\, and others. \n$5 suggestion donation doors at 7pm\, performance at 7:30pm

SUMMARY:Elsa Trash\, Igor Amokian\, Zzyzxzyzz\, and O.C.D.
DESCRIPTION:VOLUME and Human Resources are pleased to present performances by Elsa Trash\, Igor Amokian\, Zzyzxzyzz\, and O.C.D. as part of “Cosm\, Organization-Construction\, Second Instance\,” an exhibition of new work by Anja Weiser Flower. Building on themes of spatial orientation and spatial concentration\, this evening will feature harsh and immersive four-channel soundscapes by three notable emerging experimental artists. \nElsa Trash makes noise from a range of sources\, including photographs and cosmic microwave background radiation data. Igor Amokian has been active as a producer for many years\, with a particular emphasis on on circuit-bending a wide range of consumer electronics to produce unique and unexpected sounds. Zzyzxzyzz\, a collaborative project of Aaron Bartell and Ian Wellman\, uses electromagnetism as a base source material for generating live sonic landscapes that merge science and art. O.C.D. is the musical project of Mark Taylor\, who was featured by VOLUME alongside Kid606 and Jan Jelinek in 2016. A common theme is an interest in the material basis and materiality of sound\, augmented here by an exploration of the spatial possibilities of multi-channel performance. \nTickets may be purchased in advance or at the door on a suggested sliding scale donation of $5 to $15. Doors at 7pm \nThis event is intended to be accessible to users of wheelchairs and other accessibility devices. Human Resources’ front entrance has one step\, with a folding wheelchair ramp available. The side entrance is wheelchair accessible. Human Resources does not have a wheelchair accessible restroom. The bathroom is gender neutral and has 2 stalls adjacent to each other. Please contact Human Resources with any accessibility questions or requests. \nABOUT ELSA TRASH \nOver the last 15 years\, Elsa Trash has worked in media including musical and non-musical sound\, drawing\, painting\, sculpture\, video\, zines and comics. Her latest music/sound projects are Painwife\, Scissoring\, S.A.D. and Inverts\, and she was part of the 2017 exhibition Soundtracks at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. She lives in Oakland\, California. \nABOUT IGOR AMOKIAN \nIgor Amokian – circuit bending producer cross blends various genres of electronic beats\, music\, and noise\, exploring random realms of sounds with his audiences as his machines usually take over. A wide mix of Igor Amokian sounds and music can be found all over Bandcamp and Soundcloud. Hundreds of Igor Amokian circuit bending videos are posted on YouTube. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/user/AMOKIAN \nhttps://soundcloud.com/soundboxman \nhttps://igoramokian.bandcamp.com \nABOUT ZZYZXZYZZ \nZzyzxzyzz is a collaborative listening experiment conducted by Aaron Bartell and Ian Wellman\, currently focused on the electromagnetic sounds of everyday objects. The project explores an often unheard sonic landscape in the post-industrial world. Aaron Bartell\, AKA AnalScubaHive\, is a sound artist and co-founder of Triptronics Research\, a biweekly experimental electronics series in Los Angeles. Ian Wellman is an IATSE Local 695 production sound mixer and field recordist. \nABOUT O.C.D. \nO.C.D. or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is the alias of Los Angeles based musician Mark Taylor. His music can be described as experimental electronic music with elements of techno\, psychedelic rock\, dub\, Krautrock\, ambient music\, noise\, and black metal. He is currently working on a collaboration with Madlib and finishing up a new album. \nSome of his influences include Skullflower\, COIL\, GAS\, Autechre\, Philip Jeck\, Demdike Stare\, King Tubby\, Keith Hudson\, Destroy All Monsters\, Aphex Twin\, Darkthrone\, Paysage D’Hiver\, Boredoms\, Lustmord\, Ash Ra Temple\, Faust\, and Popol Vuh. \nUtilizing recordings of synthesizers\, electric guitar\, and samples\, Mark’s sound has the ability to transport the listener to a different place through repetition\, loud volume\, and subtle manipulation of recorded samples to dizzying effect. His music can induce trance like listening experiences while at other times abruptly changing direction on the fly resulting in wild and unpredictable sonic experiences. On stage\, Mark primarily uses recording samplers to achieve his live sounds. He has played consistently around the LA area for over a year now and has opened for Jan Jelinek\, Kid606\, Yann Novak\, Richard Chartier\, Robert Crouch and SFV Acid. \nhttps://soundcloud.com/ocdsound \nhttps://www.facebook.com/OCDSOUND/ \nhttps://ocdmusic8.bandcamp.com/releases \nABOUT ANJA WEISER FLOWER \nAnja Weiser Flower is trying to stitch together a newly centralized aesthetic construction.

Their music combines a variety of genres (including happy hardcore\, industrial\, drone metal\, noise\, disco)\, to create sadical and sexperimental diva-dance anthems that evoke a sense of death\, decay\, and transformation. Queens of the Night is the second album by Xina Xurner following the release of their debut DIE in 2012. \nwww.xinaxurner.com \n  \n  \nTrap Girl \nTrap Girl is a hardcore punk band formed in 2014 by lead singer Drew Arriola-Sands in LA. Trap Girl creates pissed off and cathartic anthems that spit nihilistic venom and don’t hold back. This roaring diva outfit demands to be seen and heard. In 2015\, Trap Girl released their debut album\, From Diamonds to Dust\, which featured hard-hitting anthems such as “I’m a Trap Girl” and “Dead Men Don’t Rape.” In 2017\, they released their follow-up record\, The Black Market. Their music addresses issues such as the violence all too frequently experienced by trans POC and womxn\, and the risks involved with black market surgical procedures. Arriola-Sands created Queer Queens of LA\, a year-round concert series featuring queer artists\, and Transgress Fest\, the first festival in Southern California to spotlight trans/gender nonconforming punk\, hardcore\, and rock musicians. \nwww.trapgirl.bandcamp.com \n  \n  \nThe Uhuruverse \nThe Uhuruverse is a Los Angeles-based PROTEST ARTIST who uses multiple mediums and performance styles\, including burlesque\, butoh\, and drag\, to speak against oppression and demand the liberation of womxn’s and gender nonconforming bodies. The artist is the electric guitarist for the band Fuck U Pay Us (a four piece Black femme punk band demanding land reparations for the African Holocaust and free self defense training for femmes). The Uhuruvese raps and sings\, exploring other genres including but not limited to: Hip Hop\, Punk\, Funk\, Disco\, Vogue\, Blues\, Jazz\, and New Jack Swing. In 2014\, The Uhuruverse founded #SNATCHPOWER\, a post-apocalyptic\, afrofuturistic\, women’s liberationist artist collective. In 2016\, The Uhuruverse directed the psychedelic film noir\, FIGHT IN HEELS\, a collaboration with #SNATCHPOWER. In 2018\, The Uhuruverse released her album\, THE BRIGHTEST ODDEST STRANGEST STAR U EVER DID SAW UP CLOSE AND AFAR FROM PLANET EARTH TO MARS AND BEYOND! \nwww.soundcloud.com/theuhuruverse
