SUMMARY:Queer Intimacy and States of Emotion / Cross-Continental Friendships
DESCRIPTION:SELF#2 by Telémachos Alexiou \nGroup Show Fundraiser/Art Sale curated by Telémachos Alexiou \nJoin us for a one-day fundraising exhibition combining works by established and emerging queer artists from Berlin and Los Angeles. \nExhibiting artists include: Ron Athey\, Lucas Bihler\, Cassils\, Alex Chaves\, Zackary Drucker\, Spilios Gianakopoulos\, Monilola Ilupeju\, Young Joon Kwak\, Eva Mitala\, Tyler Matthew Oyer\, Zander Porter\, Elliot Reed\, Spyros Rennt\, Jason Al-Taan & Telémachos Alexiou. \nPerformances by Christopher Argodale and Tyler Matthew Oyer. \nCurated by Greek filmmaker Telémachos Alexiou\, this selection of work manifests Alexiou’s personal relationships with the artists\, shedding light upon the intimate moments\, struggles\, pleasures and agonies of being queer in 2019. The exhibition’s curation is a love letter to the artists\, intended to bridge the geographical distance\, and emotional longing between continents. \nEvery artwork will be up for sale at a reduced price; all proceeds will be given to the artists\, to a fund supporting Alexiou’s feature film projects (see below) and to HRLA. (Suggested donations at the door – $5-20.) \nHalf of the funds raised will support Telémachos Alexiou’s next feature film projects: The Voice Of An Angel and Emi’s Movie. The Voice Of An Angel is a European arthouse drama about a young Greek actor who is freed of his demons by metamorphosing into a drag persona of his iconic pop star mother. Emi’s Movie is a documentary about the life and work of visionary gallerist\, muse\, cultural producer\, curator\, yogini and writer Emi Fontana. \nCo-hosted by Zak Stone. \nAfterparty with DJs Buckmonster & Kevin Mcgarry \nDoors at 7pm\nPerformance by Christopher Argodale: 7:30pm sharp\nPerformance by Tyler Matthew Oyer: 10:15pm\nDJ sets: 10:30pm \nTelémachos Alexiou was born on January 3\, 1992 on the island of Evvia\, Greece. During his childhood and teens he was trained as a ballroom dancer and won several titles nationally and internationally. At the age of 17 he moved to London\, UK\, to study Communications and Visual Culture and three years later to Berlin where he studied Film Theory at the Freie Universität Berlin and started working as a filmmaker and artist. His diverse body of work includes narrative feature films\, media installations\, performance art and photography. His work is characterized by a dreamy\, surrealistic approach to every day experience and to notions such as identity\, sexuality\, repression and desire.

SUMMARY:WALKING IN THE SUN
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: May 17th – May 19th\, 2019 \nGallery Hours: Friday – Sunday 12:00 – 6:00 PM or by appointment \nHuman Resources LA presents Walking in the Sun an exhibition that centers the experiences of Filipinx American artists and their shared experiences navigating the complexities of colorism in the Asian American Pacific islander (AAPI) communities. \nFilipinx have distinct memories of being told that if they were to be in the sun for too long\, their skin will darken and therefore be ugly. Darker skin in the Philippines is tightly associated with lower social class and undesirability. This viewpoint is informed by a larger issue in AAPI communities in which East Asian or light-skinned Asians are seen in both Asia and America\, as superior in both social standing and media at large. The narratives and voices of darker skinned asians are silenced because of this perspective. Even with the Philippines indispensable role in United States history\, their stories and communities still go unnoticed because of the deep seeded hold that colorism has in both AAPI communities and American society at large. \nBy centering the experience of brown Asian identity\, and more specifically Filipinx American narratives\, this exhibition hopes to act as a catalyst to encouraging Filipinx voices to step out of the shadows and into the sun. \nThe exhibition is curated by Jennelyn Tumalad and Robben Muñoz. \nWork in the exhibition features a wide range of artistic exploration of the effects of colorism in the Filipinx American community: from its history and roots in Spanish and American colonization in the Philippines to dissecting racial slurs that are anchored in minimizing identities to just the color of someone’s skin. Throughout the exhibition\, artwork plays a diverse range of roles in each artist’s own understanding of themselves and their proximity to whiteness. The exhibition features various media—from sculpture to site specific installation. The diversity of media mirrors the diversity of experiences of each of the 12 chosen artists. The artists featured are as follows: \nAnna Liza de Leon Evangelista \nTristan Espinoza \nChristine Hipolito \nFrancis Calimlim \nMaria Villote \nMaryrose C. Mendoza \nMatt Manalo \nRobben Muñoz \nSherwin Rio \nTala Mateo \nWalking in the Sun will also feature a multidisciplinary sound and dance performance collaboration by local artists Mark Golamco and Cirilo Domine.

SUMMARY:Phil Minton & Audrey Chen • Swinging Chandeliers • Corey Fogel
DESCRIPTION:UPEND  presents \nPHIL MINTON & AUDREY CHEN (London/Berlin)\nSWINGING CHANDELIERS\nCOREY FOGEL \ndoors 8pm\nsound 9pm\ndonate $10 \nPHIL MINTON /  AUDREY CHEN DUO\n✶ Los Angeles debut ✶ \nPhil Minton (b. 1940\, Torquay\, England) is a improvisor whose contorted vocal emissions have pushed beyond the boundaries of genre. The past four decades have heard his glossolaliac gurgles\, squeaks\, and deconstructed operatic flights operate within the realms of Free Improvisation\, the body of Jazz itself\, and varied electro-acoustic activities. Over the eras\, he’s collabbed live and on record with an epic list of ace improvisors including Fred Frith\, John Butcher\, Bob Ostertag\, and Joëlle Léandre. To this day (at the end of his 70s!) Minton is a mainstay of London’s Café OTO scene\, and regularly parries in an acoustic vocal duo with Berlin-based improvisor Audrey Chen (b. 1976\, Illinois). With compatible palates\, and complimentary instincts they engage in an instant interplay of queue and chase\, gesture and spittle. Chen herself hyperextends voice\, mining material in between – and beyond – previous utterance. Finding sound via microtones of larynx squeak\, blowing wind turbulence with lip-flip flutters\, and plumming the corporeal with full throated phonation! She has worked with Maria Chavez\, Nate Wooley\, and C. Spencer Yeh among many others. Though Minton and Chen have toured in Europe and U.S. and have cut a couple records together – including a fine duo outing on Sub Rosa – this date marks their first performance in Los Angeles. \nSWINGING CHANDELIERS \nSwinging Chandeliers is the life-duo of reel-to-reel master Joseph Hammer and hypno-visualist Sayo Mitsubishi\, and together they divine a liminal zone of total art and perpetual weirdness. Previous swings have seen Mitsuishi improvise visuals via overhead projector\, unfurling a stream of subconsciousness – drawing simultaneously with each hand. The transparency that scrolls across her platten is more of a match than a metaphor for the looped tape traveling over the heads of Hammer’s rig. \nCOREY FOGEL \nCorey Fogel is a artist and drummer who has clear control over percussive rudiments as well as the will to disrupt the flow. Setting and breaking expectations\, breaking out of rhythm\, and finding ways to surprise with what-to-hit and what-to-drop\, whether it’s a beat or a wrench – either in the system or\, yes\, literally a wrench – Fogel is continually active locally and across the country and the pond improvising and on recent tours with the versatile unit that is Julia Holter’s band and the Tasha Wada Group. Fogel’s solo outings in town\, however\, are curiously infrequent\, and on this auspicious occasion he’ll share some of his instant art idioms.

SUMMARY:Theo Triantafyllidis: Anti-Gone
DESCRIPTION:Anti-Gone\nA Performance in Mixed-Reality by Theo Triantafyllidis\nMay 11th & 12th\, 7pm\nDuration: 3 acts\, 60mins\, no intermission \nIn a post-climate change world\, environmental catastrophe has become normalized. Cities are sunken\, yet the vestiges of late-capitalist culture – consumerism\, inequality\, social unrest – live on\, clinging like barnacles to the ruins of civilization. Spyda and Lynxa are a couple navigating this world frictionlessly. On their sailboat\, they glide from shopping to movies to psychedelic drugs. In a damaged world where you can have anything you want\, what’s the cost? \nTheo Triantafyllidis’ debut feature-length performance\, Anti-Gone\, is a sprawling experiment in 3D world-building\, real-time simulation\, interactivity and theatricality. Adapted from the eponymous graphic novel by Connor Willumsen\, Triantafyllidis takes the idiosyncratic narrative and visual style of Anti-Gone as a platform to explore the possibilities and limitations of what was once called “Theater”. As Triantafyllidis re-creates the world of Willumsen’s Anti-Gone as a series of 3D scenes\, performers Matthew Doyle\, Lindsey Normington and Zana Gankhyug embark on improvisational excursions in this mediated world. The performers explore dramatic tropes from absurdist theater to psychological realism and somatic awareness\, while the game engine performs alongside them. The actors presence is augmented and complicated by virtual reality headsets\, motion capture suits and audio DSP. Using these tools\, Triantafyllidis directs and shapes the world that is being presented to both the performers and the audience in real time. Anti-Gone asserts theatricality as a new way of thinking fictionally\, as real space is re-incorporated into subjective game logics. The audience is given a theater re-invigorated with new techniques for pleasure and play as the world outside simulates its own destruction… \nBased on the original comic book by Connor Willumsen\nProduced by Matthew Doyle\nStarring Lindsey Normington\, Zana Gankhuyag\, Matthew Doyle\nLighting Design by Connor Childs\nSound by Jeffrey Alan Scudder\nProduction Assistant Polina Miliou\nSpecial Thanks to Mari Spirito\, Celia Hollander\, Luke Fischbeck. \nTheo Triantafyllidis is represented by The Breeder\, Athens and Meredith Rosen\, New York. \nWith the support of UCLA Design | Media Arts\, bitforms gallery.\nTechnical sponsorship by Barco Projectors\, Noitom MoCap. \nAdvance tickets may be purchased here

SUMMARY:William Basinski + Lawrence English: Selva Oscura
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nWilliam Basinski + Lawrence English: Selva Oscura \nWednesday May 8th\nat\n9pm \nPlease note: this is a special seated performance with limited capacity. Advance tickets are recommended. \nticket link\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/william-basinski-lawrence-english-selva-oscura-tickets-61247423693 \nfacebook event page\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/2425987850747632/ \nFrom their respective bases in Los Angeles and Brisbane\, William Basinski and Lawrence English – two crucial figures of ambient music – collaborated remotely\, trading and manipulating sonic materials to create an ever fleeting\, ever unfolding masterwork: Selva Oscura. Released last year by Temporary Residence Ltd.\, the album explores a liminal space at the very edge of beholding\, at once strange and familiar. The phrase Selva Oscura literally translates “as ‘twilight forest\,’ it metaphorically speaks to both those who find themselves on the unfamiliar path and more explicitly the nature of losing one’s way in place and time.” \nJust after twilight on Wednesday May 8th\, the pair convene in the same room in Los Angeles for a rare performance around this cycle\, plumming the resonant space of Human Resources with a shifting pallette of sound. Come catch their perpetual drift.

Acquainted from their years proximate in Seattle\, and having found a rapport collaborating in a larger group context\, they choose to join together on the occasion of the L.A. stop on Greg Kelley’s (and Rob Noyes’) Spring tour of the West Coast.\n\nDeep listeners have witnessed Greg Kelley deconstruct the trumpet’s timbre down to the thinnest splinter; He’s blown a lexicon of clicks and whispers in radical ‘micro’ projects nmperign and The BSC. The heaviest of heads have heard his horn push thresholds amidst seas of guitar squall in Heathen Shame. Hep jazzies have long dug his flourishes of freedom alongside such figures as Joe McPhee\, Chris Corsano\, and Paul Flaherty\, and Bill Nace.  Greg can extend to the fullest to be sure\, and – quite literally – brings a bag of tricks to each set. As a collaborator\, he ever explores dialogue and dynamics\, is at ease abstracting in delicate sound fields\, and resilient at full throttle.\nWhether singing amidst gamelan tones\, classical Persian music\, the heaviest metal\, or the noisiest fuzz\, Jessika Kenney keenly considers the play of frequencies\, and how song acts as a conduit for words and meaning. Her solo works – as well as projects with her core collaborator Eyvind Kang – offer an audio syncretism that draws from established forms while conjuring new expressions. Her sense of the spectral has been heard in the ensemble of Persian ney master Hossein Omoumi\, as well as at the helm of the Austrian Choir on Sunn O)))’s Monoliths and Dimensions. Though her practice includes many a studied approach\, she finds a continued freedom in musics of rebellion; her brushes with the Indonesian punk scene resonate. \nROB NOYES \nFirst solo Los Angeles performance from Rob Noyes a standout 12-string acoustic player from Boston. Rob certainly fits in the recommended-if-you-like Robbie Basho or John Fahey category\, but so simple a move would belie the creative depths he plums weaving a tapestry of sound only possible in the present day\, and only possible where the weaver is an astute listener of records (and practicer of playing) and mad creative. Byron Coley describes his debut LP The Feudal Spirit on the rarefied Poon Village label thusly: “On the way to developing his own compositional/performance approach\, Noyes sometimes seems to have absorbed an almost infinite reservoir of influences… Mr. Noyes hits a vast array of sub-genres on this album\, and he hits them all pretty damn hard. Rob’s playing carries the weight of many possibly-imaginary forebears\, but the way he smears them all together shows a holistic mastery of touch and imagination…” \nhttps://poonvillage.bandcamp.com/album/the-feudal-spirit \nWILSON SHOOK \nWith a range of avant-moves Saxophonist Wilson Shook plays free and fluid. Whether blipping and bursting\, laying out textural feels\, or blowing asymmetries circular and smooth\, Shook averts the obvious – his heightened-awareness flows direct attention to the very now of sound\, and whet anticipation for what’s next. After more than a decade in Seattle as an improvisor and activist\, he’s now home in Los Angeles where his playing has already gripped a few lucky rooms\, and hopefully many more. Heads\, ears – perk! \nhttps://otherghosts.net/

SUMMARY:Guionnet & Khouri • Chen & Sadja • Guionnet & Kennedy & Hutson
DESCRIPTION:The Unwrinkled Ear Presents \nJean-Luc Guionnet and Lotus Edde Khouri – saxophone and dance \nAFTERBURNER: Audrey Chen and Doron Sadja – voice\, electronics and light \nJean-Luc Guionnet and William Hutson and Jeremy Kennedy – saxophone and electronics and drums \nDoors 8:30/ Music 9 \nJean-Luc Guionnet returns to Los Angeles after two years\, bringing with him a new dance collaboration with Lotus Edde Khouri\, and a new trio that has been incipient in his mind since his last foray in our fair city featuring locals Jeremy Kennedy and William Hutson. \nBerlin-based AFTERBURNER is the collaborative project of vocalist Audrey Chen and audiovisual artist Doron Sadja. A live collaboration for hyper-extended voice\, electronic noise and light\, the group weaves together Chen’s idiosyncratic vocal growls and chirps with Sadja’s dense synthetic noise\, often blurring the line between human- and electronically-generated sound. \nDoron Sadja is an American artist\, composer\, and curator whose work explores modes of perception and the experience of sound\, light\, and space. Often using multichannel or motorized speaker systems and high intensity fog and light\, Sadja crafts immersive performance and installation works that are both playful and transportive. Sadja has published music on 12k and Shinkoyo records\, and has performed/exhibited at PS1 MoMa\, Atonal Festival\, STEIM\, Norberg Festival\, Cleveland Museum of Art\, and Issue Project Room amongst others. \nAudrey Chen has created an uncompromising and idiosyncratic music\, tightly disciplined yet acoustically wild and heavy with implication.Her ultra-verbal vocalising\, often reminiscent of the visceral and emotionally charged sound poetry of François Dufréne or Henri Chopin\, exposes physiological aspects of utterance that are concealed within standardised articulation and day to day speech. Fleshy\, breath-driven and flecked with spittle\, Chen’s voice emanates not just from her mouth but from an ensemble of upper body surfaces\, channels\, passages and cavities. – Julien Cowley THE WIRE \nBrought to you with support from Black Editions

SUMMARY:Redactions (In Progress)
DESCRIPTION:This is a new way to think of oneself\, [ ] a body composite. No firm boundaries\, not a me with space around. But one of those games\, [ ] [ ] magnet shards that pull [ ] apart at a suggestion\, seem whole but disperse into their millions. Think of yourself that way\, a toy of many\, host\, hosting\, little bugs\, [ ] gathered for a feast\, a jam\, a quorum\, a minion. [ ] Body doesn’t do a dance\, it is one. \nA performance by Abigail Levine and Paula Matthusen. \nAbigail Levine is an artist working between New York and Los Angeles. Rooted in dance but moving across media—performance\, text\, drawing\, sound—Levine focuses on the poetics of our body’s work\, how we record and value it. Her latest work\, the Restagings series\, has been presented at Fridman Gallery\, Vox Populi and The Knockdown Center\, supported by Foundation for Contemporary Arts\, New Music USA\, and residencies at The MacDowell Colony\, Center for Performance Research\, Brooklyn Arts Exchange and Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts. Past works have been presented throughout the US\, in Cuba\, Canada\, Brazil\, Mexico\, Venezuela\, Greece and Taiwan. Levine performed with both Marina Abramovic (2010) and Yvonne Rainer (2018) in their retrospectives at the Museum of Modern Art. \nPaula Matthusen is a composer who writes both electroacoustic and acoustic music and realizes sound installations. She has written for diverse instrumentations\, such as “run-on sentence of the pavement” for piano\, ping-pong balls\, and electronics\, which Alex Ross of The New Yorker called “entrancing.” Her work often considers discrepancies in musical space—real\, imagined\, and remembered. Awards include the Walter Hinrichsen Award from the American Academy of Arts and Letters\, a Fulbright Grant\, two ASCAP Morton Gould Young Composers’ Awards\, and the 2014 – 2015 Elliott Carter Rome Prize. Matthusen is currently Associate Professor of Music at Wesleyan University. \nDoors 7:30\, show 8

SUMMARY:When in doubt\, read Nightwood: Act III
DESCRIPTION:Thursday March 28\, 2019 – 8PM \nDoor: $5-7 sliding scale \nO Widow Lazarus. The last part of a piece developed around the Djuna Barnes novel: a hysterical break-up that breaks into song. It culls the sentiments stirred by melodramas and musicals to wonder what’s after desire. How does refusal and discarding answer the yearning for transcendence and\, emphatically\, how does that feel? We know at least: there will be singing. \nWritten by Tim Reid and Julia Jarcho \nPerformed by Alexander Borinsky\, Abigail Bouchet\, Alison D’Amato\, Dorothy Dubrule\, and Tim Reid \nMusic directed and composed by Amy Golden\, with Ethan Marks\, Cody Puttman\, and Jonny Stallings \n“‘And you were crying\,’ the doctor said nodding. ‘You went about the house like someone sunken under lightness. You were ruined and you kept striking your hands together\, laughing crazily and singing a little and putting your hands over your face. Stage tricks have been taken from life\, so finding yourself employing them you were confused with a sense of shame.’” — Djuna Barnes\, Nightwood

SUMMARY:Betsy Hunt: Drawing Exercises
DESCRIPTION:Opening at 6pm – 9pm  \nOneHouse ArtExperience presents Drawing Exercises features three short videos – done during a one week\, May 2018\, residency at the Motion and Media Across Disciplines Lab (MMAD Lab) at the University of Minnesota Duluth\, by Duluth-based artist\, Betsy Hunt. \nBetsy’s current research is in video art\, experimental animation\, and performance art. She is specifically interested in exploring physicality in film through cut out animation\, sound and image juxtaposition\, and performative filmmaking. \nWatching her videos is almost like watching her perform live using herself not only as a character; but also a performer. These videos inspired by things like slapstick comedy\, are tools for her to explore physicality and weight in film. The choice of symbolic shapes (images)\, simple gestures and eccentric sound effects\, tell both personal and universal stories\, embrace art and life\, and question the meaning of Being at large. \nBetsy Hunt is a video and animation artist. She received her BFA from the University of Northern Iowa in 2005 and her MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 2008. Betsy has exhibited her video work throughout the United States including Elephant Art Space (Los Angeles\, CA)\, Soo Visual Art Center (Minneapolis\, MN) and The Duluth Art Institute (Duluth\, MN). She currently lives and teaches Digital Art at the University of Minnesota Duluth in Duluth\, MN. \nThis exhibition is organized by OneHouse ArtExperience in conjunction with their exhibition of student work.

The goal of this project for me is to create an experience that brings to light the multi layers of life as it relates to our mind\, body and spirit.\nIn the room you have drawings I made recently which describe a need I feel for more spaces with shared resources\, more community building and more care overall that is not so Commerce driven.
Also in the room is a table set up with objects the were crafted by me\, crafted by nature and crafted by the time past. These objects serves as an offering space to spend time to connect\, play and build from within.
And finally I will have a letter writing station with stamps\, paper envelopes. I will specifically be encouraging guests to write to my brother Abraham who serves life in prison here in California. I will be sharing a book I handmade that has his writings and drawings he has been sending me over the years. \nRue: Explorations of Ether\, Fire\, Wata\, and Gia. Artwork by Cole M James. 
In 2013 I was ushered into a hospital room to undergo a small but invasive surgery.  The next day  I was face to face with an AK 47 at the door of my classroom as the Los Angeles Swat Division cleared the campus of Santa Monica College after a mass shooting. The trauma of my surgery followed by the trauma of living through a mass shooting at the hand of a person diagnosed with a manageable psychological disease made me question many modern practices embedded in our modern health care system.  I started searching for ancestral healing practices.  In an article the plant Rue was mentioned as a useful and abundant herb.  This plant that grows evasively is used all over the world.  It has the ability to aid in regulating the reproduction system of women and suppressing the fertile efficiency of men. Given the name witches herb and Herb of Grace\, Rue is mentioned in ballads of Cecilia Cruz and sonnets of Shakespeare. Rue has many roles within religious ceremony and can be found practices of Santeria\, Appalachian HooDoo\, Voodoo\, Wicca and the Catholic Church.  This project is an exploration of Rue and is centered on the connectivity of ancestral knowledge. \nVeronique d’Entremont (Boston\, 1983) is a LA-based interdisciplinary artist\, invested collaborative practice and community organizing.  Through reciprocal spiritual\, pedagogical and studio practices\, Veronique investigates art as a medium for healing individual and community experiences of trauma.  Her work explores how we are shaped by the social and institutional spaces we inhabit– from our families of origin to academic\, religious and correctional institutions—and seeks to transform these spaces.  She has exhibited in Los Angeles\, New York\, Boston and Mexico City\, and has lectured at UCLA\, CalArts\, California College of the Arts\, Palomar College\, and at California Rehabilitation Center\, a prison in Norco\, CA. In 2016 she co-founded The Liberated Art Collective\, and facilitates healing art workshops with formerly-incarcerated and institutionalized individuals. \nVeronica De Jesus is a visual artist raised in several American cities. She illustrates life as an American\, in all its varied splendor. Drawing on pop culture icons\, sports\, heroes and villains\, and more\, she draws our complex world into focus. Her Memorial Drawings\, an ongoing series of illustrations complemented with text\, honor the many people who have influenced our collective culture and reflect on loss and mourning. Her work also explores identity and the ways we hide and reveal elements of our personalities. For over a decade\, Veronica has been working with artists with disabilities\, including at The Lighthouse for the Blind in San Francisco and NIAD (National Institute for Adults with Disabilities) in the SF East Bay. She is currently The Head Arts Facilitator of the Arts Programming and Exhibitions at UCPLA (United Cerebral Palsy of Los Angeles). \nCole M. James’ work is that of a negotiator\, navigating the African Diaspora\, circling the expanse of queerness and fumbling through womanhood.  James creates paintings\, digital prints and video work that explore the intersections between digital production and the analog collections of lived experiences. James was born in Chicago and raised in Moreno Valley California.  She received a BA from Cal State San Bernardino and MFA from Claremont Graduate University James exhibits her work primarily in Los Angeles but has shown in New York\, Miami and South Korea. She was awarded the Alfred B. Friedman Grant\, Walker Parker Artist Fellowship\, and Mignon Schweitzer Award. In addition to her art practice James is a Human Rights Advocate and community collaborative partner.  James has an installation up at the University of LaVerne titled Edifice Artifice until May 2019.  CM James works and lives in Los Angeles CA. \nA Portal Through Which Love May Enter  is the second day of three days of programming at Human Resources\, organized by Veronique d’Entremont. \n***We apologize but the HR bathrooms and second-floor are not wheelchair accessible.***

SUMMARY:Church of Art
DESCRIPTION:Using the framing of organized spiritual practice\, Church of Art encompasses the work of artists who seek healing and self-actualization through various disciplines. Staged in front of an installation by Veronique d’Entremont\, Gregory Barnett will perform an interactive\, durational work\, before the Sunday Service begins at 5pm. Sermons will be delivered by Veronique d’Entremont and Kim Ye and Laub will lead us in song. Church of Art will conclude with fellowship\, following the format of the bi-weekly Process Group that Kim and Veronique host at their art studio. \nIF YOU CRY\, CRY INTO YOUR SHRINE (2pm-4:30pm) Gregory Barnett\nSERMONS – Sunday Service (5pm) Veronique d’Entremont and Kim Ye\nMusic throughout by Laub\nPROCESS GROUP (6pm – 8pm) \nSunday Service – Sermons\nFollowing a visit to Foursquare Church in Echo Park\, a mega church founded by celebrity-preacher Aimee Semple Mcpherson\, Veronique d’Entremont and Kim Ye were inspired to write their own sermons examining the tension between the emotional impulses of an artist’s practice and the desire for success. Mcpherson came to Los Angeles in 1918 with a dream of becoming famous\, and quickly became the nation’s “first modern celebrity preacher\,” with audience numbers topping any other prior touring event or theater in American History.  Through their sermons\, Veronique d’Entremont and Kim Ye use the language and philosophies of self-help literature\, mindfulness practices\, ethical non-monogamy\, and 12-step recovery to transcend their ego-driven motivations\, internal conflicts and external pressures as practicing artists. \nIf You Cry\, Cry Into Your Shrine\nHoly Mother: Gregory Barnett\nSisters Of Mother: Stacy Dawson Stearns\, Laura Fuller\nIn this re-staging of La Pieta\, Holy Mother lays to rest the romanticization of martyrdom\, offering her tears as salve to those affected by this ideal. You will rest in Her lap and know peace. She will bathe you in salted water and ideas of pain as currency will wash away from your body. You will retire understandings of sacrifice as your sole path towards salvation. When She whispers goodbye (God Be With You)\, you will remember only Her sweetness\, as it is all She has given you. \nSENSORY EXPERIENCES\n(upstairs chapel)\nArtwork by Veronica De Jesus \nRue: Explorations of Ether\,Fire\, Wata\, and Gia\n(entryway)\nArtwork by Cole M. James \nGregory Barnett makes dances\, altars\, imagery\, and stories and believes he is better for it. His durational work If You Cry\, Cry Into Your Shrine\, uses repetition\, deconstruction\, and mimetic choreography to locate junctures between lineage (memory) and prayer (desire) in an effort to fortify will. In lieu of pursuing a sociology degree\, Gregory became a prostitute and children’s gymnastics instructor. He has shown work in Los Angeles and other cities since 2004. \nVeronique d’Entremont (Boston\, 1983) is a LA-based interdisciplinary artist\, invested collaborative practice and community organizing.  Through reciprocal spiritual\, pedagogical and studio practices\, Veronique investigates art as a medium for healing individual and community experiences of trauma.  Her work explores how we are shaped by the social and institutional spaces we inhabit– from our families of origin to academic\, religious and correctional institutions—and seeks to transform these spaces.  She has exhibited in Los Angeles\, New York\, Boston and Mexico City\, and has lectured at UCLA\, CalArts\, California College of the Arts\, Palomar College\, and at California Rehabilitation Center\, a prison in Norco\, CA. In 2016 she co-founded The Liberated Art Collective\, and facilitates healing art workshops with formerly-incarcerated and institutionalized individuals. \nVeronica De Jesus is a visual artist raised in several American cities.

She is currently The Head Arts Facilitator of the Arts Programming and Exhibitions at UCPLA (United Cerebral Palsy of Los Angeles). \nLaub (b. 1986\, Waynesboro\, VA) is an interdisciplinary artist who works across glass\, ceramics\, wood\, textiles\, sound\, drawing\, and music. His practice often considers his personal life\, making objects\, sensations\, and worlds that speak to the difficulties and merits of human connection\, self-care\, and learning. By approaching tangible materials in creative ways\, he materializes the fleeting and transitional nature of emotion and being\, and makes visible the human necessity to process\, connect\, and care for one another. Laub’s work has recently been exhibited at Los Angeles Contemporary\nExhibitions\, Visitor Welcome Center\, Armory Center for the Arts\, and Commonwealth and Council\, and has been featured in Artforum\, Los Angeles Times\, and Contemporary Art Review Los Angeles. He holds an MFA in Glass from Rhode Island School of Design and a BFA in Craft Material Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University. \nCole M.

She received her MFA from UCLA (2012) and her BA from Pomona College (2007). Influenced by language and aesthetics from BDSM\, drag\, and other avenues for self-actualization\, her work explores the inversion of power dynamics via situations of exchange and intimacy. She has performed and exhibited nationally and internationally at The Hammer Museum\, Getty Center\, Banff Center for Arts and Creativity\, Material Art Fair\, Human Resources\, Machine Project\, Morán Morán\, Satellite Art Fair\, and Visitor Welcome Center among others. As a visiting artist\, she has taught and lectured at institutions such as Cal Arts\, Pomona College\, University of California Los Angeles\, Virginia Commonwealth University\, and Loyola Marymount University. \nChurch of Art is the first day of three days of programming at Human Resources organized by Veronique d’Entremont. \n***We apologize but the HR bathrooms and second-floor are not wheelchair accessible.***

SUMMARY:Alex Zhang Hungtai • Ka Baird • Yek Koo
DESCRIPTION:UPEND presents \nAlex Zhang Hungtai\nKa Baird\nYek Koo \nas part of\nHuman Resources Los Angeles\n2019-Q1 \nsunday march third\ndoors at eight – sound at nine \ndonate $10 at the door \nadvance tickets also available here. \nfacebook event page \nALEX ZHANG HUNGTAI \nAlex Zhang Hungtai is a Chinese diasporic artist and musician who has hailed from Honolulu\, Montréal\, Lisbon\, and the scores of cities on tour that comprise “the road” – not to mention our own considerable town! With family ties to both Shanghai and Taipei\, he himself names the tensions of such identity in his own name\, using both Zhang – the “mainland” Chinese spelling of 張 – as well as Hungtai – the Taiwanese spelling of 洪泰. With this cosmopolitan consciousness and a perhaps a restless soul\, he sustained a stellar run of song-forms and variable-fidelities in Dirty Beaches\, and has since pressed on with courage\, pursuing freer-forms and the out-there. Keyboard études and ambient explorations have been heard via releases on the Ascetic House and Non Worldwide labels respectively\, but most notable has been his adoption of the saxophone and improvisation as vehicles for deeper expressions and solemn meditations. Now\, on the eve of another tour – his first with an exclusively solo set-up – he debuts a new cycle at a venue that is a node of his own creative community\, and one that happens to be situated in a diasporic enclave – albeit one with a story different than his own. Zhang Hungtai is an artist who ultimately finds identity – if not also solace – through sound. \nKA BAIRD (NYC) \nAn improvisor and composer that can let flow soulful jazz fire in one breath and the free-est of folk in the next\, Ka Baird has radically reimagined disparate avant forms as integral to a vibrant whole. Since the early aughts\, Ka has been core to the psychling din that is Spires That In The Sunset Rise\, though her re-location to New York in 2014 seemingly galvanized a number of new solo directions\, some of which – flute\, pulse\, and an inkling of komische quiver – wind through her Sapropelic Pycnic LP released by Drag City in 2017. Indeed\, Baird is a multi-valent multi-instrumentalist continually seeking to connect elements via collaboration – and while going it alone. Her current solo outings are intense and involved affairs that extend flute and vocal technique amidst live electronic process\, but the fabric is not entirely experimental. Baird’s voice is singular and strong\, intoning loud and clear. And with glints of whisper – and a deft sense of drama – she delivers denouement. So come through to witness her first L.A. performance under her own name\, as it is ever rare to hear the sound of an artist breaking through and becoming. \nYEK KOO \nYek Koo is the solo project of the unorthodox Los Angeles artist and musician Helga Fassonaki. Aside from the blear and tear of the duo Metal Rouge (but with some of the same shards intact) she’s known for spritely blursts of pocket trumpet\, foot tap and scrape\, and motion that seems to track invisible magnetisms. For this outing\, however\, cassette decks and voice come to the fore. Fassonaki courts corners and echoes as she considers and airs into the margins of a space\, and she indeed knows this one well. Readily creative and active in the early era of Human Resources\, she imagined and staged the improbable here\, and as eras turn she’s present to shape the resounding now. \nProgram notes and poster design by Tim Leanse

Each act is narrated by Miasma\, the personification of a smell. What appears to be an episode of sibling rivalry as presented on a sitcom television show\, shatters into pandemonium after the family is poisoned by methane gas from a plumbing disaster in their front lawn. In the flood of excrement\, the family descends into a collective hallucination. Madness and despair gifts each member of the household with a lucidity that radically calls into question their world views. The play explores ideas of queer familial structures\, polarizing political ideologies\, and social contagions. \nPerformed By: Julia Yerger\, Arne Gjelten\, Chelsea Rector\, Christane Oyen\, Flannery Silva\, and Nour Moborak \nMedium Judith is a host for an interdisciplinary methodology for writing experimental theater works. The company originated in 2012 in Baltimore\, MD with works composed by Bully Fae Collins and Amanda Horowitz. Their collaboration began as an urgent response to emergent political tools of the internet and their recombinant effects on power. Backdropped by this changing political landscape\, they debuted Shy World (2013)\, a one-act play satirizing the conditions of the surveillance state\, internet addiction\, and online activism. It was performed at the Red Room in Baltimore MD and it’s documentation is distributed by Printed Matter NYC. Other projects include\, Flash Drive for Fluxus – a script generated through text messaging\, Lagoon Female – an ongoing collaborative research group\, and Defy a Thing to Be – a performance and dance piece created for Bully Fae. Through a process that utilizes conceptual sculpture\, joke writing\, and concept-map making\, Medium Judith creates a queer theater in which cultural signifiers are transmuted and recomposed into an experimental world logic and value system. \nImage credit: Jonathan Chacon
