SUMMARY:Terror en lo Profundo
DESCRIPTION:Opening Saturday 12/8 7—10pm\nOn view through 12/16\nGallery hours Thursday-Sunday\, noon-6pm \nArtistas / Artists: Rosalee Bernabe\, Wendy Cabrera Rubio\, Juan Caloca\, Christian Camacho\, Paloma Contreras Lomas\, El Pelele\, Elsoldelrac\, Julieta Gil\, Sebastián Gonzales de Gortari\, Abraham Gonzáles Pacheco\, Cristobal Gracia\, Madeline Jimenez\, Enrique López Llamas\, Morgan Mandalay\, Richard Mendtorr\, Irak Morales\, Jazael Olguín Zapata\, Diego Ramírez\, Marisa Raygoza\, SANGREE\, Israel Urmeer\, Lucía Vidales\, Tatyana Zambrano \nEl Popocatépetl solloza: enfurecido explosiona sus hirvientes y humeantes líquidas garras sobre tus largos campos de petróleo\, silicio y maíz. Ruge a tu montañoso rostro exigiendo una respuesta\, pero tus lánguidos labios de barro apenas pueden abandonar el llanto. Su cuerpo\, roto y abnegado\, estalla una última vez para abrir camino hacia lo profundo de tu propio terror colonial. \nDeslave se complace de presentar “Terror en lo Profundo” para Human Resources LA\, una exhibición conformada por el trabajo de 23 artistas que desde el humor\, el horror y la ficción enuncian estrategias que analizan críticamente los estragos de los mecanismos de colonización\, tanto del pasado como actuales\, blandos o violentos\, de sumisión o seducción. \nLa exposición se compone de pinturas y dibujos que dialogan\, o se oponen\, a los legados del arte occidental; objetos escultóricos que transitan entre la simulación y lo documental en relación con eventos prehispánicos o religiosos; trabajos de video que utilizan la puesta en escena para recrear\, reimaginar o deconstruir eventos históricos o mitológicos; y una serie de prácticas conceptuales que analizan la encrucijada política entre tradición cultural y territorialidad. \nDeslave es un proyecto curatorial y espacio para la producción\, exhibición y discusión de arte contemporáneo. Actualmente dirigido por Mauricio Muñoz y Andrew Roberts\, se encuentra ubicado en Tijuana desde la primavera de 2017. \nwww.deslave.art \nThe Popocatépetl mourns: enraged explodes its boiling and smoking liquid claws on your long fields of oil\, silicon and corn. Demanding an answer\, it roars to your mountainous face\, but your languid lips made of mud can scarcely leave your profound weeping. His body\, broken and self- sacrificing\, bursts one last time to open a way to the depths of your own colonial terror. \nDeslave is pleased to present Terror en lo Profundo for Human Resources LA\, an exhibition comprised of the work of 23 artists who\, from humor\, horror and fiction\, formulate strategies that critically analyze the ravages of colonizing mechanisms\, both in the past and in the present\, soft or violent\, of submission or seduction. \nThe exhibition is composed of paintings and drawings that dialogue —or oppose— to the legacies of Western art; sculptural objects that transit between the simulation and the document in relation to pre-Hispanic or religious events; video works that use staging to recreate\, re-imagine or deconstruct historical or mythological events; and a series of conceptual practices that analyze the political crossroads between cultural tradition and territoriality. \nDeslave is a curatorial project and space for the production\, exhibition and discussion of contemporary art. Currently run by Mauricio Muñoz and Andrew Roberts\, it is located in Tijuana since the spring of 2017.

SUMMARY:Views from Here: Los Angeles | A panel discussion about being based in LA
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by Michelle Grabner with Jennifer Bolande\, Neha Choksi\, Courtney Fink\, Galia Linn\, Shana Lutker\, Forrest Olivo\, Paul Pescador\, and Paul Mpagi Sepuya \nJoin us for a conversation about regionality\, locality\, and the myriad of ways in which arts-workers find themselves living and working in Los Angeles. This panel is comprised of artists\, curators\, and art advocates who have spent time in Los Angeles looking out\, and outside of Los Angeles looking in. We come together to take a deeper look at ourselves\, as Angelenos. \nMilwaukee-based artist Michelle Grabner\, an informed “outsider\,” will lead a conversation among panelists and the audience about Los Angeles-ness. A lifelong midwesterner\, Grabner has questions about what’s happening in LA\, and wants to hear about Here. \nThis is the fourth X-TRA Forum\, a series of programs using the 20-year archive of contemporary art quarterly X-TRA as a springboard. Grabner looked back to her first contribution to X-TRA for inspiration for this program. In 1997\, she wrote a review of The Eagle Rock Show\, an exhibition organized by Laura Owens at the Eagle Rock Cultural Community Center printed in X-TRA Volume 1\, number 3. In her text\, Grabner considers the importance of “social skills and generosity” that infused the exhibition\, a group show of artists working in and around Eagle Rock. Now\, 20 years later\, what are the key elements that infuse our art lives in Los Angeles? \nModerator \nMichelle Grabner is an artist\, writer\, and a curator based in Wisconsin. She is the Crown Family Professor of Art at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where she has taught for twenty-three years. In addition\, Grabner has also held teaching appointments at The University of Wisconsin-Madison\, Cranbrook Academy of Art; Yale Norfolk; Milton Avery Graduate School of Arts\, Bard College; Yale University School of Art; and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, Maine. The Indianapolis Museum of Art\, MOCA Cleveland\, Illinois State Galleries\, and INOVA at University of Wisconsin Milwaukee have each hosted survey exhibitions of Grabner’s work. \nGrabner co-curated the 2014 Whitney Biennial and curated the 2016 Portland Biennial. She was the Artistic Director for the inaugural exhibition\, FRONT International\, the 2018 Cleveland Triennial for Contemporary Art. Her reviews are regularly published in X-TRA and Artforum. In 2010\, Mary Jane Jacob and Grabner co-edited THE STUDIO READER\, published by the University of Chicago Press. \nWith her husband Brad Killam\, she founded The Suburban in 1999 in Oak Park\, IL hosting a range of international contemporary art. After 16 years in the Chicago vicinity\, The Suburban began programming exhibitions in Milwaukee’s Walker’s Point neighborhood. In 2009 Grabner and Killam opened The Poor Farm in rural Waupaca County\, Wisconsin. The Poor Farm is dedicated to annual historical and contemporary exhibitions\, lectures\, performances\, publications\, screenings and alternative educational programs. \nPanelists \nJennifer Bolande came of age as part of New York’s Pictures Generation during the 1980s. Rooted in conceptualism\, her work employs various media—primarily sculpture\, photography and film—to explore the quiet affinities between particular sets of objects and images\, and the mercurial meanings they manufacture. Reviewing a show of her work at Metro Pictures\, New York Times’ critic Holland Cotter praised Bolande’s art for it’s “low-key wit\, lively inventiveness\, and subtle eye for metaphor.” Bolande is a professor in the New Genres area of UCLA’s Department of Art. A solo exhibition of her work\, titled The Composition of Decomposition\, is on view at Pio Pico gallery. \nNeha Choksi is a visual artist who works in multiple media\, across disciplines\, and at times collaboratively and in unconventional settings. She was awarded the India Today Best New Media Artist of the Year Award (2017) and the designation of Cultural Trailblazer by the City of Los Angeles DCA (2017/2018). She serves on the editorial board of X-TRA and is currently working with Anuradha Vikram on a series for X-TRA Online called “Views From Here” that will present perspectives on “here” from artists across the globe. Her work was included in Made in LA at the Hammer Museum earlier this year\, and her exhibition and installation\, ELEMENTARY\, is currently on view at 18th Street Arts Center in Santa Monica. \nCourtney Fink is an organizer\, arts advocate\, curator and writer. She is co-founder and founding executive director of Common Field\, a national network of independent visual arts organizations and organizers that connects\, supports\, and advocates for the artist-centered field. From 2002-2015 she was the executive director of Southern Exposure in San Francisco\, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting visual artists. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the Seed Fund. \nForrest Olivo is the founder of Contemporary Art Daily\, a website that publishes high quality documentation of exhibitions from around the world every day. He is executive director of the small non-profit that produces that project as well as Contemporary Art Quarterly\, a set of exhaustive online archives documenting individual art practices. \nGalia Linn a sculptor and site-specific installation artist living and working in Los Angeles. Linn constructs relationships between subject\, object and their environments by creating elemental tensions; a delicate balance between the mediums’ limits and Linn’s exploration with life’s imperfections.  She has shown nationally and internationally\, and is part of numerous private collections in Los Angeles\, Miami\, New York\, Paris\, Brussels and Tel Aviv.  Linn is the founder of Blue Roof Studios is a multidisciplinary art hub located in South Los Angeles. It offers a place for artists to work in an environment that fosters creativity and community. \nShana Lutker is an interdisciplinary artist whose work explores the relationship between language and the unconscious. She has had solo exhibitions at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington DC\, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami\, and was included in the 2014 Whitney Biennial and Performa 13. Lutker received her MFA from UCLA. She serves as the Executive Director of Project X Foundation for Art & Criticism\, the nonprofit publisher of X-TRA. \nPaul Pescador is an artist\, filmmaker\, performer and writer discussing social interactions and intimacy as they pertain to his own personal identity and history. He graduated with an MFA from University of California\, Irvine and a BA from University of Southern California.

By inserting mirrors and collage-like photographs and staging his friends\, partners\, and lovers as his subjects\, Sepuya investigates the role of the studio as a social environment. He received his MFA from the University of California Los Angeles in 2016 and a BFA from New York University Tisch School of the Arts in 2004. Sepuya’s work has been featured in numerous exhibitions including at the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles; The Studio Museum in Harlem; Franklin Art Works\, Minneapolis; and the Artist Institute\, New York. \nX-TRA Forums are made possible with additional support from Pasadena Art Alliance\, Isambard Kingdom Brunel Society of North America\, and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

SUMMARY:Kayla Tange: Defining Boundaries
DESCRIPTION:Performance and Opening December 20th 8pm \nGallery Hours December 21st\,  12-5pm \nHuman Resources (HRLA) presents a multimedia installation and performance by Kayla Tange. Defining Boundaries explores the construction of boundaries that protect sacred interiority. Tange’s performance utilizes ritual\, sound\, ephemeral architecture and collected confessions (including her own) in an attempt to establish psychic\, emotional and physical boundaries\, guarding against abuse and trauma; elements heavily circulating in our current political climate. \nIn these times\, it is essential that we practice empathetic listening toward our friends\, family\, and community at large. Yet\, do we even have the resources\, strength\, or methods to protect our own psychic energy? Defining Boundaries is a manifestation of sanctuary; a necessary action for when our vulnerability is exhausted or abused. Retreat and the cultivation of personal sacred space opens dialogue\, and acceptance surrounding communal elevation out of racial and sexual proliferation. \nTange uses her experience as a sonic medium to build an atmosphere rife with sex\, shame\, secrets\, and identity. In Defining Boundaries\, Tange projects into Human Resources the recorded confessions collected in past performances—Confession Box (2015-2016)\, A Bare Witness (2016) and Boundaries (2016-2018)— where public space became an interactive confessional. Unlike previous performances where her own sexual vulnerability was used to allow others to expose theirs\, Tange now paints a filter from the confessions as the audience reflects on their own capacity to build a protected interiority. The physical boundary she designs within\, resembles a white a cube; a space not so different than the interior of white galleries that art critic Brian O’Doherty reflects upon. “The outside world must not come in\, so windows are usually sealed off. Walls are painted white. The ceiling becomes the source of light . . . . The art is free\, as the saying used to go\, ‘to take on its own life.’” \nDefining Boundaries is a call to protect interior worlds\, tight-knit artistic communities and to celebrate the words of Anais Nin: Had I not created my whole world\, I would certainly have died in other people’s. This two day performance and installation urges for self-preservation against confessions representing larger issues\, including addressing the media saturated with sexist representations mirroring the interconnected power of patriarchy and capitalism. Although we are exposed to the intimate disclosures Tange has collected\, we witness her enacted isolation; a process that inspires insulation and protection of our own sacred interior spaces. Once this internal dominion is created\, the self re-connects and re-gathers the deeply buried\, fragmented inner parts and welcomes refuge where stillness and the inner workings of the mind\, heart and spirit expand. \nKayla Tange was born in South Korea in 1982\, and adopted at age six months by a Japanese American family residing in Lemoore\, California. She moved to Los Angeles in 2000 and her love for photography slowly progressed into a conceptual performance practice where boundaries\, sexuality and identity are recurring themes. Tange has had solo performances at Coagula Curatorial\, Miami Art Basel\, Highways Performance Space\, New York Burlesque Festival and Asian Burlesque Extravaganza and performed alongside Ron Athey\, Taylor Mac and Sheree Rose. She is the co-producer of Dear Mother (2017) —a short film about her Korean adoption and relationship to performance. Dear Mother has shown at the the Korean American Film Festival New York\, Asian Pacific Film Festival in Los Angeles\, San Francisco Short Doc Fest and Boston Asian American Film Festival.  \ntext by Ezequiel Olvera \nsound design by Brent Kiser \nphoto by Luka Fisher

SUMMARY:Elliot Reed: Ant
DESCRIPTION:January 11th + 12th 2019 12pm – 12am \nAnt is a new project by Elliot Reed. 45 performers create a film in private. The resulting multi-cam footage is projected in the same room\, January 11th + 12th 12pm – 12am \nAnt is inspired by the mathematics concept Langton’s Ant. Langton’s Ant proves that a set of repeated\, simple instructions reveals a complex pattern after many repetitions. This is an abstract machine. Actors navigate each other with written prompts\, each individual reacting to a secret motivation. All directing\, rehearsal\, and subsequent actions are filmed in real time. Any props or detritus from the shoot will be left exactly as is\, leaving a physical memory of private action. Potential is a word that comes to mind. Knowing\, believing\, and understanding that something powerful is present\, but somehow just out of reach. The viewer will recognize their body in relationship to the venue\, and in somatic response to the performers on screen. Elliot Reed will be present noon to midnight January 11th and 12th\, reading an original poem every hour. A printed collection of these poems titled Ant will be available for purchase.

DESCRIPTION:For one night only\, singer/composer Dorian Wood will honor the 30th anniversary of the release of Janet Jackson’s 1989 masterpiece “Rhythm Nation 1814” by performing it in its entirety\, arranged for voice and piano. Says Dorian: “I was 14 when this album came out. No other music at the time sounded like it. I knew every lyric and every dance move\, and Janet’s messages of social justice and reluctant sensuality helped shape my adolescence.” \n“A cutting edge sound that respectfully acknowledges the folk music of his birth\, Dorian is an artist who does not stop…his life is the rhythm of his creative impetus.” – GQ (Mexico) \n“The performer\, who bends genres as much as he bends gender\, in performances that are a little bit torch song and a lot avant-garde\, delivers vocals that offer sublime beauty and pain.” – Los Angeles Times

SUMMARY:THE DAMAGE + 24 HOUR MOVIE MARATHON
DESCRIPTION:Cinema began in wonder\, the wonder that reality can be transcribed with such immediacy. All of cinema is an attempt to perpetuate and to reinvent that sense of wonder.\n\n\n… \nUntil the advent of television emptied the movie theaters\, it was from a weekly visit to the cinema that you learned (or tried to learn) how to walk\, to smoke\, to kiss\, to fight\, to grieve. Movies gave you tips about how to be attractive. Example: It looks good to wear a raincoat even when it isn’t raining. But whatever you took home was only a part of the larger experience of submerging yourself in lives that were not yours. The desire to lose yourself in other people’s lives . . . faces. This is a larger\, more inclusive form of desire embodied in the movie experience. Even more than what you appropriated for yourself was the experience of surrender to\, of being transported by\, what was on the screen. You wanted to be kidnapped by the movie — and to be kidnapped was to be overwhelmed by the physical presence of the image. The experience of “going to the movies” was part of it. To see a great film only on television isn’t to have really seen that film. It’s not only a question of the dimensions of the image: the disparity between a larger-than-you image in the theater and the little image on the box at home. The conditions of paying attention in a domestic space are radically disrespectful of film. Now that a film no longer has a standard size\, home screens can be as big as living room or bedroom walls. But you are still in a living room or a bedroom. To be kidnapped\, you have to be in a movie theater\, seated in the dark among anonymous strangers. \nexcerpt from The Decay of Cinema\, Susan Sontag\, 1996 \nHuman Resources isn’t a movie theatre\, but it once was Cinema Land. \nOn Saturday\, February 2nd\, in the name of cine-love\, Lucy Bull invites you to join her for a 24 hour movie marathon at Human Resources. This event will begin promptly at 6PM and end at 6PM the following day. It coincides with the beginning of Bull’s occupation of the marquee with the painting The Damage\, on view 24/7 through February 17th. \nThe films were not chosen with a particular theme in mind. Instead\, it’s a mix of films that inspire and haunt with their sensuousness and authenticity… but also because they’re fun. \n– \nLucy Bull (b.1990\, New York) is a Los Angeles based artist. She has recently exhibited with AWHRHWAR (Los Angeles)\, Mother Culture (Los Angeles) and Andrew Edlin Underground (New York). In 2017\, Bull published “Plume” with Onestar Press (Paris). She also runs a table-top exhibition platform called From the Desk of Lucy Bull.

SUMMARY:One\, Again / Against One
DESCRIPTION:One\, Again / Against One is a group show interested in the osculation of being one and many. Oriented towards the processes and conditions that enable relations to be skewed\, at times awkward\, or not necessarily there\, but almost\, is the exhibits domain.\n\nThe title of the show riffs off of Jackie Wang’s Against Innocence\, an essay describing the damaging effects of innocence as political rhetoric. Wang tells us innocence individualizes and defaces the facade of a narrative\, a condition\, a landscape\, a history to be easily assimilated — something relatable or universal.\n\nOne\, Again / Against One\, looks away with Wang\, against the pressures of individualization\, to become an isolated singular thing. The works in the show are exercises in failure\, adjustment\, becoming and unbecoming\, even cruising on to be more than one — always many\, always in flux.\n\nAarum Alatorre\nJohn Birtle \nGabriel Brenner\nHugo Cervantes\nAlexandria Douziech\nErika Kane \nBenicia King\nBrittany Ko\nOlivia Leiter\nPastel\nTroyese Robinson\nPenelope Uribe-Abee\n\n2/7: Soft Opening 7pm – 9pm\n2/8: Gallery Hours 12pm – 5pm with Pastel at 8pm and Erika Kane 9pm till late

SUMMARY:There is almost not an interval
DESCRIPTION:We will walk along an unplanned route\, departing from HRLA at the end of the Golden Dragon Parade (3pm) on Saturday February 9th\, and then again at 3pm on Sunday February 10th. Each walk will begin in silence\, with conversation arriving in response to the territory covered and the pace of walking. Live audio from the walks will be streamed to HRLA for the duration of each walk—join us for the walk\, or stop by the gallery to listen in. \n\nThere is almost not an interval (lifted from Gertrude Stein’s 1926 mapping of a continuous present “Composition as Explanation”) approaches the formal components of attention (beginning\, ending\, duration\, suspension\, subject\, object) across a range of scales and distances. Seeking to “reconceptualize lurking as listening” as Kate Crawford proposed in 2009\, we talk now (and probably later too) about the role of memory\, anticipation\, projection\, and transience in forming the attentive listener. De-synchronized and displaced\, Intervals describe the contact between separated speeds\, tonalities\, rhythms\, and subjects; between interior and exterior\, public and private\, here and there\, now and then—punctuated by events and waiting\, covering distance and duration in steps.\n\n*note that Chinatown streets will be closed until 4pm on Saturday February 9th for the parade. Arriving via public transportation or rideshare is recommended on that day. (a map of road closures can be found here)

SUMMARY:Crinkle
DESCRIPTION:CRINKLE is a project exploring sensory perception and themes surrounding multi-sensory integration\, particularly the binding of taste and sound. An attempt at understanding the phenomenon of synesthesia moves one to question\, what does a taste experience sound like? How might a sound experience taste? \nIn asking\, this collaboration between artists Jonathan Silberman and Jasmine Sarp seeks to open a portal within which a unique culinary and soundscape experience will transpire. Over the course of a scored multi-course dinner\, performers and guests will examine and question orientation\, memory\, consciousness\, individual and shared experience\, resonance\, and vibration. \nThis dinner will take place three nights only\, with limited seating. Advanced ticket purchase is required to guarantee entry. \nFebruary 18\, 19\, and 20 @ 8 pm\nHuman Resources\, 410 Cottage Home Street \nfixed menu: $25\nfixed menu with wine: $35\n**The meal features a variety of small plates that include dairy\, gluten\, and nuts (pine nuts\, pistachios\, and hazelnuts). \nBios \nJonathan Silberman is a musician and community organizer based in Los Angeles. Known for his collaborative music making\, he has composed and performed extensively as a member of projects including Godzik Pink\, Rats and LA Fog. Recent work includes the solo saxophone album Red in the Missile Room. He runs the shop/studio/art space Character Projects and co-runs the nonprofit organization Art in the Park. \nJasmine Sarp is a food artist\, graphic designer\, and community organizer living in Los Angeles. Her culinary project Violet Plateau is a means to attune to the surrounding landscape and to explore ground with those willing to share a table. \nThis event is part of LA Fog’s three-day artist residency under Human Resources’ programming series\, 2019-Q1. \nNOTE:\nJust added\, LA Fog will be hosting an after hours Jam Session and hangout\, FREE and open to all\, taking place after the Tuesday night CRINKLE event\, beginning at 10:30PM.

SUMMARY:Kenyatta A.C. Hinkle: The Evanesced
DESCRIPTION:In The Evanesced\, 100+ drawings\, large scale paintings and a suite of performances bring attention to a painful subject: missing black womxn in America and the African diaspora\, from history to the present day. Abstract “un-portraits” of elusive figures are conjured up–drawn with handmade brushes and while the Hinkle improvises dances to blues\, hip-hop\, and Baltimore Club music–pivot between real and imagined narratives representing thousands of black women who have disappeared due to colonialism\, human trafficking\, homicides\, and other forms of erasure. The Evanesced: Embodied Disappearance is a suite of performances that evoke the presences of various types of womxn navigating historical and contemporary contexts. The performance–which includes a soundtrack of whispers\, shuffles\, and snippets of popular and underground music–adds another dimension to this emotional examination of a fraught part of the black female experience. The Evanesced is an expression of the #SayHerName movement of mourning\, awareness\, and healing. \nKenyatta A.C. Hinkle is an interdisciplinary visual artist\, writer\, and performer. Her practice fluctuates between collaborations and participatory projects with alternative gallery spaces within various communities to projects that are intimate and based upon her private experiences in relationship to historical events and contexts. A term that has become a mantra for her practice is the “Historical Present\,” as she examines the residue of history and how it affects our contemporary world perspective. Her artwork and experimental writing has been exhibited and performed at The Studio Museum in Harlem\, Project Row Houses\, The Hammer Museum\, The Museum of Art at The University of New Hampshire\, The Museum of the African Diaspora (MoAD) in San Francisco\, The Made in LA 2012 Biennial\, The BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art\, Newcastle upon Tyne\, UK and Páramo Galeria\, Guadalajara\, Mexico. Hinkle’s work has been reviewed by the Los Angeles Times\, LA Weekly\, Artforum\, Hyperallergic\, The Huffington Post\, The Washington Post and The New York Times. She is also the recipient of several awards including: The Cultural Center for Innovation’s Investing in Artists Grant\, Social Practice in Art (SPart-LA)\, Jacob K Javits Fellowship for Graduate Study\, The Fulbright Fellowship\, and The Rema Hort Mann Foundation Emerging Artists Award. Her writing has appeared in Not That But This\, Obsidian Journal\, Among Margins: Critical & Lyrical Writing on Aesthetics\, and she has a forthcoming first book called SIR\, a reflection on naming as a tool for undefining the defined\, that will be published with Litmus Press. Hinkle is currently an Assistant Professor of Painting at UC Berkeley’s Department of Art Practice.

SUMMARY:Medium Judith: The Plumbing Tree
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, February 28 8pm\nFriday\, March 1 8pm  \nTickets: $10\, Buy online to reserve a seat as tickets are limited!! Tickets will also be available at the door if we do not sell out online. buy here \nThe Plumbing Tree is a three-act play\, told through the perspectives of an eccentric family plagued by dogma. 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

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

Such is the distinct case with the electro-wizardry of the pedal and box wielder that is cloaked as Witches of Malibu… Surf the blood red tide with us. \n5:30 – Rogue Squares – the combined might of Elaine Carey and Carlos Giffoni\, rocking the permutations of vibrations and the waves that save. \n6:15 – Conscious Summary – main man at the (Handbag) Factory\, shining hope for all things independent and good\, Samur also has created a beautifully frightening multimedia performance that is not to be missed. \n7:00 – Ian E.

Vanessa Whirlynn is coming back west to show her hometown what’s up\, with keyboard\, kaos pad and voice.

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 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). \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. 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. \nKim Ye (b. 1984\, Beijing\, China) is a Los Angeles-based interdisciplinary artist whose work incorporates performance\, video\, sculpture\, installation\, and text. 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:A Portal Through Which Love May Enter

Artwork by Veronica De Jesus (2nd floor chapel)
. 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.

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.

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
