SUMMARY:With(n)essing in Motion Workshop
DESCRIPTION:With(n)essing in Motion Workshop\nInstructors:\nKandis Williams\nJosh Johnson \nVisual artist Kandis Williams and dancer Josh Johnson (Forsythe company\, Sad for No Reason) will guide a group of participants through screenings and movement exercises that will excavate the space between affective moving bodies and documentation. Dance pieces will be constructed around the device as it witnesses and proofs bodies within our collective mind. This workshop will ask participants to engage in exercises and conversations around the camera phone as an extension of the eye and internalizer of the voice. The eye\, the body and the document of bodies in space created by our ability to witness our surroundings with this technological extension of the eye will be investigated through movement exercises. In dialogue\, we will examine specifically civic and journalistic images of violence. The recent rash of police shootings post Ferguson will be treated as a starting point to look back on these documents and the way they shape the interactions of a multitude of partial subjects\, in the hopes that dissecting these videos as strange choreographies will explore how the tensions in the bodies of victim\, perpetrator\, and witness are framed\, aligned and circulated within the distended Cartesian mind of web2.0.  \nPlease bring:\nA camera phone w/ internet access and at least 2GB of space\nMovement clothes \nWe ask a $30 suggested donation\, please come even if you don’t have it!\nReaders of the material viewed will be provided to all participants. Please RSVP by email: kandis.williams@gmail.com \nv. wit·nessed\, wit·ness·ing\, wit·ness·es\nv.tr.\n1.

In the field of vision\, such a split objet a is the gaze. It is a remnant of the scopic drive’s trajectory of reaching for objects. It is a leftover of inaccessible “bodily samplings” of my corpo-reality and of the Other. Split from the subject and split from the Other\, such a gaze is for Lacan an absence\, a libidinal loss.”\n-Bracha Ettinger\, parallax\, 2001\, vol. 7\, no. 4\, 89-114 \n“As long as the centuries continue to unfold\, the number of books will grow continually\, and one can predict that a time will come when it will be almost as difficult to learn anything from books as from the direct study of the whole universe. It will be almost as convenient to search for some bit of truth concealed in nature as it will be to find it hidden away in an immense multitude of bound volumes.\n-Denis Diderot\, “Encyclopedie” (1755) \nPresented in connection with the performance Affect: Network: Territory (A Performance of Syllogisms in Motion)\, August 10th and 11th at Human Resources.

SUMMARY:Tita Salina & Irwan Ahmett: Ring of Fire/Pacific Rim (Screening and Q&A)
DESCRIPTION:Screening of short video pieces by Irwan Ahmett and Tita Salina\, Jakarta-based artists who have been working together since 2010. Their tactical\, interventionist approach to social issues frequently plays itself out in public space\, and translate into spontaneously unfolding events through a spontaneous and self-organized approach that they describe as Urban Play. In the last few years\, they have been working with vulnerable groups in society\, including Indonesian undocumented workers and migrant laborers living in the Netherlands and Taiwan. Their ambition is to reflect the real situations and what has been happening\, but also to generate critical alternatives to these complicated issues through play. \nA brief conversation with the artists will follow the screening. \nAhmett and Salina recently completed a month-long residency at the Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, in the context of the Megacities Asia exhibition. Their work has also been exhibited at the ST Paul St Gallery (Auckland NZ\, 2016)\, Biennale Jogja (Yogyakarta ID\, 2015)\, Asian Art Biennial (Tainan TW\, 2015)\, the Stedelijk Museum (Amsterdam NL\, 2014)\, and the ZK/U Center for Art and Urbanistics (Berlin DE\, 2013).

SUMMARY:Nikki Darling - Temple of the Dawg
DESCRIPTION:Opening Thursday Aug 4th\, 7:00-9:30pm\nOn view August 5th-14th\, 12-6pm \nAn exhibition of art therapy works by Nikki Darling\, Temple of The Dawg includes 26 works on paper and a video installation. \n“There’s a new man\, a new love\, trying to come into your life. Right now he might be just a whisper\, but it is likely that you already know him. This new situation is rooted in reality\, the material world\, enjoyment of everyday life together (rather than on family legacies\, past hurts\, anxieties\, psychological illnesses\, etc). We see this same figure again in your final outcomes\, where he will manifest as a real\, flesh and blood man\, the Knight of Cups. But in order to get this person to fully manifest\, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done. Luckily\, it’s fun and beautiful work\, so that’s good news. But it will also take time and effort\, and it looks like you might have a tendency to be impatient. The cards are asking you to do the work\, pay attention\, and allow things time to grow. “Stay the course\,” might be a good motto for you right now. \nSo what is the work? Your main objective now should be to overcome your family legacy. Chances are that if you don’t do this work now\, you will be confronted with the same situations again and again until you do\, and these situations do not look fun at all. In order to begin your new life\, which from what you’ve said\, you’re already doing (great job!! this is hard work and you are making great progress!)\, you need to stop running away\, stop focusing on what else might be out there\, stop turning away from what is right in front of you.” – The Oracle of Los Angeles 2014 \n“John\, the show is something like this: February 18th 2006 I got on a bus at Port Authority headed for Moton Pennsylvania where I would spend a month at the Caron Recovery Center/Rehab\, to deal with a decade of drug and alcohol addiction. I was 25. Since I left Caron I have not had an alcoholic beverage. While there I opened myself to the idea of Recovery. The process of trying to lead my best life\, one that supported my highest potential and worth and in turn could be of greatest service to myself and others. Recovery became an all encompassing process/motif in which I have tried to live in accordance with my ideals\, ethics and faith. A power greater than myself. During this process I have come in contact with therapists\, psychiatrists\, anti-depressants\, exercise\, self help books\, AA\, MA\, Ala-non\, fallen back into marijuana addiction and the ramifications of that and now\, finally\, Magic. Each stage of this self discovery process has pushed me deeper into my Hero Journey. I have gone back to college\, gotten an MFA and am now starting a dissertation which will culminate in a PhD in Literature. Through this work I have had to let go of shame based coping mechanisms\, welcome grief and embrace parts of myself that used to frighten me. \nIn this last and final leg\, Magic\, which I encountered in 2014 during a birthday reading with the Oracle of Los Angeles\, I have finally gotten the courage to shake off the last vestiges of what has held me back. I am more than just a writer\, I am also and have always been an artist. \nThese water color collages\, bricolage\, instigated by a romantic break up- the thing I needed to truly step outside my comfort zone and face the frightening unknown- have been instrumental in this final leg of the Hero Journey. Once this show is presented\, I will have cycled through this process of grief and growth and emerged as my true self. If it happens in 2016 it quite literally will have been a decade long process starting at 25 and ending at 36. My journey will of course not be over\, but I will have shed an old and useless skin and come into my true identity. I am a queer mixed race feminist artist and writer. \nEach piece\, made using what was available to me\, nail polish\, computer paper\, magazines\, old books\, staples\, was created with the intention of being a gift to a friend\, each piece represents a part of this struggle to inhabit this self. Once worked through and processed in the piece\, it is intended to be given away with love\, transformed. Nothing will be for sale. In this way\, the recipients also become a part of the process\, they are my community\, my support system\, and themselves as integral to this process as the creation of the piece itself. A symbol of the healing power of friendship. \nI have never presented myself as a visual artist and this fact is one of the main cruxes of the project. I am a performance artist and experimental writer\, but in this work I am trying to initiate a dissolving of binaries. A freedom to be who I say am\, not just for myself\, but others who might also live in fear and shame.” – Email to John pitching this show\, 2015 \n“I guess I seem to be saying that if you were to treat love like work\, there would be no way you could be going about it the wrong way. It would be impossible for you not to come to the table full of romance and insight and surprise. If anything\, it seems to me to be about building a grounded foundation first\, coming at the bare facts of it plainly as soon as you can\, expressing what you want in big picture terms\, so that you can set up a house\, literally and figuratively\, where you and the Other can bathe in the formless\, timeless\, ecstatic waters of life.” – Email from Stuart Krimko about my astrological chart\, 2016 \n“Hey Nikki\, Just tried to give you a call\, but the phone line was not connected. You still wanna? Let me know.” – The Universe

SUMMARY:The Stars Down to Earth
DESCRIPTION:Screening\, with a short introduction and Q&A with Tashi Condelee\, Afia Fields\, Margaret Haines & others. \nThe text\, Sex Without Threat (within the upcoming Wrong Issue of Nonsensical)\, and the film\, The Stars Down To Earth\, consider the experience of attending astrology classes for five years under The Carroll Righter Astrology Foundation (home to Nancy and Ronald Reagan’s astrologer) while simultaneously keeping in mind philosopher and musicologist Theodor W. Adorno’s read of astrology (and astrologer Carroll Righter) as nothing close to an innocent past-time\, but instead—in line with ‘pseudo-rationality’ and ‘authoritarian irrationality’—fascism. \nThe film responds to this 1952/53 text\, The Stars Down to Earth\, and acts as its somatic secretary\, as Adorno—in his purposeful\, justified and pragmatic critique (myopia as tactic to scorn)—did not conduct evident field research.  \nShot in early 2015\, the 23 minute film acts as part sci-fi thriller\, part documentary\, part idealist anti-secrecy forecast.  \nAstrologers from the Carroll Righter Astrological Foundation divine events for 2015 and 2016—including\, reading the star charts for America\, Paris\, Russia\, Snowden and Chelsea Manning. Coupled with their predictions\, is the reincarnation of mythological prophetess Kassandra (Henry Hopper) and god Apollo (Afia Fields) in 2015 Los Angeles and Athens­. Kassandra’s divinations and access to past/present/future information see her momentarily and perhaps mistakenly identify with the ‘whistle-blowers’ the astrologers chart in their predictions for coming events\, as both live in multi-temporality (extreme knowing). And\, both are threatened with not only imprisonment\, physical harm or rape\, but worse: forget. This passing flash of identification sparks for Kassandra a kind of hysteric anarchy\, where she attempts to fool fate and create a dimensional transparency and chaos in defiance of Apollo and those around her (the world). \nResearch and notes for the film are included in the text\, Sex Without Threat\, which takes the internet as divination system\, and pairs the context of post-war Los Angeles (when Adorno is writing) with 2016 Los Angeles and Athens. This text also contains a short interview with artist\, trans-activist and filmmaker Paola Revenioti (who acts in the film as a pythia of Apollo)\, as Paola returns from Lesbos\, Greece where she is making two films and volunteering aid\, as the EU\, in part\, ignores its status and duties as signatories of the 1951 Refugee Convention—in this way\, Sex Without Threat also attempts to make the comparison between 2016 EU and the fascism/pseudo-rationalism Adorno relentlessly and carefully seeths and pin-points in 1952 California. \nCast and Crew:\nStarring Afia Fields & Henry Hopper\, Tashi Condelee\, Cynthia MacAdams\, Jack Taub\, Paola Revenioti\, John Sweet\, Veronica Monae\, Silvia Romero\, Doug Lee\, James Raymond.\nDirection: Margaret Haines\nCinematography: Dan O’Sullivan\nProduction Manager: Teague Schneiter\nOriginal Sound Score: Patrick Dyer\nAssistant Director: Giulia Caruso

SUMMARY:Southland Ensemble presents: Soundings
DESCRIPTION:Southland Ensemble presents a concert of music from the early issues of Soundings Press\, an important and influential journal of experimental music published by composer Peter Garland from 1971- 1990. Program will feature compositions by: \nJOHANNA MAGDALENA BEYER\nJOHN DINWIDDIE\nJAMES FULKERSON\nSTEPHEN L. MOSKO\nJAMES TENNEY \nCopies of many of the early issues of Soundings will be available for perusal after the concert. \nSoundings came to be in November 1970 in a workshop taught by Dick Higgins. From the start it was seen as encompassing more than just “local talent”\, and so contributions were solicited from many composers living in California. … (It) arose from a feeling that the work of musicians needed a much wider circulation than that afforded by current publications. \n“… old music can be just as inspiring as the traditional image of the Western composer\, forever pushing forward into explored territory. Both deserve equal attention in a magazine such as this.” \n– Peter Garland \nphoto: Eron Rauch\n \n  \n  \nSouthland Ensemble is: \nEric KM Clark & Christine Tavolacci\, directors\nCasey Anderson – Jennifer Bewerse – Orin Hildestad – James Klopfleisch\nJonathan Stehney – Cassia Streb \n  \n

SUMMARY:Apeirophobia / Aporia
DESCRIPTION:Wed-Sun 12-6pm\nOpening Fri July 1 7:00-9:30pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nApeirophobia \n\nMathematician Georg Cantor realized that there could be small or large infinities. He invented a way to demonstrate that the infinity made up of real numbers (which are uncountable) are larger than the infinity made up of natural numbers. \nLet us imagine a small infinity enframed by a larger infinity. Within this frame\, the smaller infinity pours out an infinity that seems as expansive as the larger one. What is the perceptible threshold to recognize the difference between two horizonless expanses? \nMise en abyme \nThe image framed out of the totality of things is delineated by an artist’s subjectivity. A painting’s frame or a camera frame or a time frame is each a delimitation of the world\, a delimitation which contain within it the possibility of infinite recursions\, a small infinity. The universe frames human history\, which frames a subjective experience\, which\, in turn\, frames an artist’s work. Within each graded step of nested framing there exists their respective graded infinities which ripple out boundlessly\, each infinity as robust as the next. We adopt a deliberate myopia in order to delineate the frame. At times\, however\, this myopia blurs out the recursive expansiveness of what is inside and outside of the frame\, and we forget.\nWho’s afraid of eternity? It’s always been here. Don’t worry about it. \nWith:\nMichel Auder\nJulie Becker\nDavid Bernstein\nJennifer Bolande\nCliff Borress\nQuynh Dong\nShahab Fotouhi\nUlrik Heltoft\nJoel Holmberg\nHassan Khan\nLaura Owens\nMaria Taniguchi\nAsha Schechter\nDineo Seshee Bopape\nAlice Wang\nBrent Watanabe \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAporia \n\nOne thing could be two things at the same time\, and then it could be many more things. The art work is generative\, and is not bounded by the organizational principle\, which is more effective when taxonomic\, and otherwise it’s arbitrary – which does not imply irrelevance\, but rather as valid as any other point of entry\, or framework. As such\, issues regarding instrumentalization are at best optimistic\, at worst paranoiac. This might seem to legitimize or advocate the notion of the work’s indeterminacy\, which could appear to be permission for further complicity in this post-integrity moment\, if there is even room for further collusion. But the supposed indeterminacy is not neutral and neither is the organizational principle\, as such it remains political. The politics is rehearsed in this constitution\, with its passionate neutrality and practiced inconsequentiality. Yet what remains out of the realm of instrumentalization within these prescribed boundaries\, is functional design and propaganda. The artwork politicizes the notion of the universal after globalization. This includes a moment of strategic and reflexive post-identity\, one that is not essentialist on the one hand and is restrained on the other; it includes a materiality that engages with the stuff of the culture and commodity; it includes virtuosity after deskilling; that does not dismiss of class consciousness for kitsch futurity.  The notions of image saturation\, of visual overabundance\, of our digital overload\, post-internet all sound tedious and lazy as it merely echoes the years before the turn of millennium. Yes\, all of this happened\, Debord’s worst nightmares are reality and there’s no reason to rub it in any further. We need to celebrate the dawn of a new visual literacy. Boring is also the self-congratulatory reflexive clever complicity\, as it stinks of affect and privilege. A certain internal dialectic that might sound cliché at this point is paired with specificity with relation to medium\, and is then bifurcated; the index is a decoy\, identity is material\, context is contingent. We need to do at least two things at the same time\, as one at a time is not enough. The aesthete’s radicalism\, Sontag writes\, is “to be multiple\, to make multiple identifications…” \nOrganized by Sohrab Mohebbi and Miljohn Ruperto

SUMMARY:Exit Interview
DESCRIPTION:Drawing credit: Class of 2016\, Courtesy of CalArts \nOpen Daily June 22—26\, 11am to 6pm\nReception June 25\, 2016 6-10pm \nExit Interview\, the culminating exhibition by the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts) School of Arts’ 2016 MFA graduates\, departs from the strictly bureaucratic associations of its title. The group exhibition highlights the dialogic dimension of two years of thinking and working in relation to one another. Acknowledging the paradoxical quality of institutionalized art education\, the show is conceived as a field of interferences and counterpoints\, the aftermath of a vital encounter and commitment to critical discourse. \n \ndownload / view program as PDF\n  \n\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nSchedule of events: \n\nJune 22 – Wednesday 10am-5pm \nKyle Johanson and Tim Tsang\n“2 people\, 3rd space\, 5th wall: a long form activity practicing engagement with Exit Interview and each other in the forms of live and recorded talking and listening and looking”\nTim and Kyle walk and talk and listen and look with each other through the works of Exit Interview.

SUMMARY:DAD DAD DAD
DESCRIPTION:DAD DAD DAD is a three-channel collaborative video installation by Maura Brewer and Paul Pescador that takes Stanley Kubrick’s 1980 film The Shining as a site of analysis. The first channel is a short\, essayistic video that examines the relationship between the characters in The Shining and the Steadicam technology used to film their actions. In 1980\, the Steadicam was a new technology that combined the stability of the tripod with the freedom of movement of hand-held film. In The Shining\, Kubrick deploys the Steadicam both to track the action unfolding onscreen and as a point of view device\, elevating the characters outside the confines of their physical bodies. The second channel is a narrative interpretation of The Shining\, in which puppets made out newspaper and Styrofoam move through interiors\, each mimicking a series domestic activities (cooking\, masturbating and watching television.) Shifting between handheld camera and found footage\, an underlying tone of violence and perversity builds. The final channel is an overlay of the previous two\, which heightens the relationship between animate and inanimate actors. The mechanism of the moving camera becomes a character\, functioning like a ventriloquist who both observes and enables the narrative action. Power dynamics between camera operator and subject become a metaphor for the relationship between father and child. \nThis film will screen for one day only on Father’s Day.

SUMMARY:Sandy Ewen / Lucas Gorham • Ted Byrnes / William Hutson • Kathleen Kim / Bill Nace
DESCRIPTION:three duos \nWith a clutch of objects – often metal and sometimes literally nuts and bolts – Houston-based guitarist Sandy Ewen coaxes tangles of sound and tussles of texture out of the hollow-body electric on her lap.  Though she has made groups and records with Tom Carter\, Jaap Blonk\, Damon Smith and Weasel Water\, her playing most often flows from a steady stream of collaborations. She has laid out her idiosyncratic electro-acoustics in dozens of units and in cities coast-to-coast-to-coast and south of the border. For this – her first appearance in Los Angeles – she returns to a long-running duo with local Lucas Gorham\, himself a versatile guitarist whose lap steel work can just as easily conjure sheer cliffs of sound as it can pastoral reflection. \nEwen and Gorham each embraced improvisation and the outré as teens; they are part of a generation of deep listeners and soulful players who grew up in Houston\, Texas inspired and encouraged by the progressive education and creative music organization called Nameless Sound. That group and the surrounding scene offered them many a meeting in various sized ensembles to discover the interplay of their approaches. Together\, as a duo\, they air a gripping dialog. \nAngelenos who track now sound now have already been rewarded with a chance or two to catch Ted Byrnes and William Hutson parry and shuffle. Known to be at the controls behind the hissful swells of Rale and the cut-up shred of clipping.’s avant-hop\, here Hutson “plays the heads” re-sourcing sound from rather large tape loops. These voltages – dithered to magnetism and then diffused – are a made match with Byrnes’ own bias breaking: eschewing hum-drum drum rhythms\, he brazes\, hits\, and rattles a battery of things\, pouring out granular sound\, dashing dots and stacking crackles. \nExtending through technique and tech\, Kathleen Kim’s idiomatic play of the violin is a fluid free sail. T’was evidenced by her set at the solos show at LACA that welcomed Bill Nace to town this January. In the months since\, the assorted angles of Bill’s electric guitar repertoire have been a welcome addition to local sonic action.  As each of them has a deft touch and empathetic response\, here they join for their first encounter as a duo.

SUMMARY:LFZ / OFFING / Odeya Nini / r.r. barbadas
DESCRIPTION:Music by LFZ (Sean Smith)\, OFFING (Chris Duncan)\, Odeya Nini\, r.r. barbadas (Rona Rapadas & Robbee Barber) \nLFZ (Sean Smith):\nRooted firmly in solo acoustic composition\, Smith has – over the past creatively fruitful decade – adopted electric instruments and devices to further his search and study. Improvisation is now an equal component to composition in his work. LFZ is Smith’s current musical endeavor. Guitar is at the heart and synthesizers come into play at times\, all manipulated by a vast array of analog and digital devices. The music is emotionally driven and rides the line between composition and improvisation. There is a deep experimentalism captured in the music of LFZ – all executed by tangible means. LFZ is exploratory of sights\, sounds and the phenomenological. Fripp & Eno\, Terry Riley\, and Michael Rother are some referential touchstones\, yet\, LFZ does not set out to mimic or cash in on its predecessors. Smith is also the owner and operator of the record label\, Stimulus Progression. \nFor all tour dates throughout 2016\, Smith will be performing music from the recent debut LFZ album. At select shows\, he will perform the piece\, “…city of god” by Science Fiction\, a composition for tape loops and live guitar solo originally released in 1981 in a private press edition. Re-issues available 5/27 from Stimulus Progression. \nhttp://www.stimulusprogression.com/l-f-z-1/\nhttps://lfzunlimited.bandcamp.com/ \nOFFING (Chris Duncan)\nChris Duncan is an Oakland-based artist who employs repetition and accumulation as a basis for experiments in visual and sound based media. Often in flux between maximal and minimal\, Duncan’s work is a constant balancing act of positive or negative\, loud or quite\, solitary or participatory and tends to lead towards questions regarding perception\, experience and transcendence. Outside of his studio practice he organizes events and runs a small artist book press and record label called LAND AND SEA with his wife Maggie Otero. Duncan earned his BFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts and his Masters Degree in Art Practice from Stanford University.  Under the moniker OFFING\, Duncan creates open ended sound paintings rooted in the accumulation of simple tones made from tuning forks and harmonicas combined with field recordings of natural phenomena.  \nhttp://christopherrobinduncan.virb.com/\nhttps://soundcloud.com/chris-duncan-3/painting-v \nOdeya Nini is a Los Angeles based experimental vocalist and contemporary composer. At the locus of her interests are textural harmony\, gesture\, tonal animation\, and the illumination of minute sounds\, in works spanning chamber music to vocal pieces and collages of musique concrète. Her solo vocal work extends the dimension and expression of the voice and body\, creating a sonic and physical panorama of silence to noise and tenderness to grandeur. Odeya has collaborated extensively with dancers\, visual artist\, filmmakers and theater directors as both a composer and soloist and has worked with artists such as Meredith Monk\, Butch Morris and LA’s contemporary orchestra – Wild Up.\nOdeya’s work has been presented at venues and festivals across the US and internationally\, such as The Hammer Museum\, REDCAT\, Joyce Soho\, and Art Basel Miami\, from Los Angeles to Tel Aviv\, Canada\, Mongolia\, Madagascar and Vietnam. She has lectured as a guest artist on contemporary vocal techniques and composition and leads workshops on voice and movement.\nOdeya holds a BFA from the New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music where she studied with vocalist Theo Bleckmann\, and an MFA in composition from California Institute of the Arts. Her debut album Vougheauxyice (Voice)\, for solo voice\, was released in April of 2014 on pfMENTUM records. \nhttp://www.odeyanini.com \nhttps://odeyanini1.bandcamp.com \nr.r. barbadas\nLos Angeles duo comprised of Rona Rapadas & Robbee Barber. Working within a wide range of electronic/collage-based music & sound\, the pair records via the scrapbooking of treated & prepared acoustic & electric signals* (musical & other) & field recordings*\, which are heavily deconstructed\, further reorganized and formed into implied rhythms\, textures\, spacial environs\, and sometimes even a “song”.  \n*household & yard debris\, industrial noise\, treacherous footpaths\, audio cassette tape\, naturally occurring water\, spring reverb\, incidental fauna\, synthesizers\, public transportation\, rock formations/rock slides\, parametric eq\, chords.  \nhttps://soundcloud.com/rrbarbadas

SUMMARY:The Distance Plan - Climate and Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:Opening Thursday June 2nd\, 2016\, 7-10pm. \nExhibition on view June 3rd – June 18th\, Wed-Sun 12-6pm or by appointment. \nArtist talk – Bjarki Bragason and Sarah Rara in conversation with Abby Cunnane & Amy Howden-Chapman Saturday June 11th\, 2016\, 3pm. \n  \nBjarki Bragason\, Carolina Caycedo\, Fiona Connor\, Ryan Jeffery & Boaz Levin\, Steve Kado\, Susannah Sayler & Edward Morris for The Canary Project and Sarah Rara. With a new text by Lina Moe. Organized by Abby Cunnane\, Amy Howden-Chapman and Luke Fischbeck. \nThe Distance Plan: Climate and Infrastructure brings together work by 10 practitioners that address major infrastructural forms of the present – energy generation\, digital frameworks and mass transport networks – in relationship to future alternatives. Providing a diagram of our carbon-intensive era\, these works look at the ideologies driving development\, and how today’s infrastructure determines both the means by which natural resources are consumed\, and the ability of communities to change patterns of carbon consumption by redefining the built environment. \nThe politics of infrastructure is often caught in the fraught terrain between strategies for mitigating climate change and those promoting adaptation. The Distance Plan: Climate and Infrastructure thereby responds to the concept of ‘path dependency’ – the idea that the choices available to us in the present are contingent on knowledge and decisions made in the past\, and that future capacity for change is substantially determined by our current planning. \nWorks consider the energy use of data centers (Ryan Jeffery & Boaz Levin); Colombian dams being built to power extractive industries (Carolina Caycedo); and the energy use of arts institutions (Fiona Connor). The Canary Project’s work\, The American River Archive (Water Gold Soil) tells the story of a single flow of water in present-day California from origin to end-use. The project is a form of historiography\, an allegory in which one strand of California’s vast waterworks becomes a broader exploration into an Age of Extraction that appears near its culmination. \nWork by Steve Kado tracks the aesthetics and paraphernalia of global mobility\, while Bjarki Bragason’s project considers the relationship between geo-engineering and emissions reductions. Through documentation of ‘CarbFix’ Bragason presents images of a project in which Icelandic scientists work with industry to mineralize Co2 by funneling it deep into basaltic rock hundreds of meters below the earth’s surface\, accelerating a process which would otherwise take dozens of millennia. Sarah Rara’s work Broken Solar [Accumulator] is a meditation on natural resources\, human-built environments\, and the aesthetics of renewable energy. The work studies photo-voltaic surfaces and strategies for converting light into electricity and heat\, traversing sites of production from the skeleton of a blue whale to Biosphere 2\, from the riparian hills of Ukiah to Arizonan solar farms. \nThe soft infrastructures of institutions are also considered\, as attempts to manage the present effects of climate change are confronted by municipal and national governments and local community organizations alike. In a new text by Lina Moe about the closure of New York City’s L train for post-Sandy repairs she observes how issues of inclusion\, equity\, and efficiency play out at all institutional levels. The line’s closure is an example of the increasing vulnerability of civic infrastructure and Moe asks if retreat\, rather than rebuilding should be the goal\, concluding that the latter directly reflects the present state of denial about the increasing environmental precarity of the system. \nFor further information visit TheDistancePlan.Org\nor contact info@thedistanceplan.org \nBjarki Bragason Ten Thousand and One Years (one year of emissions at 449\,5 meters) detail for installation. 2016.\nSarah Rara “Broken Solar” Still from single-channel video\, 2016.\nThe Distance Plan: Climate and Infrastructure (installation view)\nThe Distance Plan: Climate and Infrastructure (installation view)\nThe Distance Plan: Climate and Infrastructure (installation view)

SUMMARY:REHEARSAL: Song of Eurydice
DESCRIPTION:doors: 4:30\nperformance: 5 PM SHARP\nmediated discussion: 5:30 $10 suggested donation \nSong of Eurydice is a choral / movement piece that re-envisions the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice as a call to marginalized artists\, emphasizing a discourse between Eurydice (mecca vazie andrews) and the deity of the underworld\, Persephone (Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs). Picking up where the ancient tale left off\, Eurydice descends once more into the Underworld to contemplate its infrastructure and inhabitants.  \nThis work-in-progress preview of Prelude + Act 1 marks the LA premiere of Sophia Cleary’s REHEARSAL series. REHEARSAL\, founded in 2011\, is a works-in-progress performance series in which one artist or group shares their work with the opportunity to hear back from their audience. Loosely following the Liz Lerman Critical Response process\, REHEARSAL provides a nurturing and structured space for feedback for artists at any stage in their process.  \nSong of Eurydice\nchoreography by mecca vazie andrews\nlibretto + score by Carolyn Pennypacker Riggs\ncostume by 69  \nSong of Eurydice is made possible by support from the California Arts Council – Local Impact Grant\, and the generous time and effort on the part of Sarah Williams / Women’s Center for Creative Work.

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA - DivineBrick
DESCRIPTION:DivineBrick (josie j) makes research-based existentially iconoclastic artwork. A lifetime of re-configuring views\, beliefs\, self-structure and modeling a research-oriented existence that explores belief and where it stems from\, this is where it has lead. \nBass pushing air\, creaking\, cracking a wooden device called the Basso\, to set the bio and molecular rhythm of the space. A device\, part bazooka subwoofer speaker\, part drum\, and part bellowing feedback loop. Supplier of urban noise this wooden sub-woofer will be the splintered connection to indigenous past. A exploration in movement called Corporeal Reformation will occupy the rest of this space. Inner woven reaction to time\, space voice and body\, will be aided by the pulse of the sub\, riding on witnesses inside a WhiteBox as landscape with their collective voices to activate our collective memory. \nTrying to reclaim some sort of indigenous or forgotten belief or behavior is close to impossible when these things have been destroyed or co-opted. Where does one turn if their past does not exist to borrow from it? Sometimes the things that the colonizer has stereotyped as “indigenous” become the only symbols on which to connect to\, either in act of dissent or in hopes of connection. This will further convolute this already broken system. This semiotics is also the way the colonizers themselves find ways of connecting to more holistic ways of existing. Unearthing resources and the destruction of land not only uproots the indigenous people but also further removes the colonizer from forgotten memories of coexisting\, not occupation of this land and its inhabitants (this includes plants and animals). \nTo add a bit more texture and dimensionality to this night I welcome Mike Meanstreetz (drums) and Z. Vidal (loop effects). Please come bath in this wave of sound\, be our landscape that we have forgotten. Share in the collective vocalization. I hope to remember something I forgotten many lives over. \n  \nThis event is part of the DecolonizeLA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs.

SUMMARY:Decolonize LA - Window to the Inside
DESCRIPTION:From Habeus Corpus to prison art practice\, Liberated Lifers will lead a discussion about our experiences within California’s State Prisons. \nTuesday May 10th\nFellowship & Food: 6pm\nPresentation&Discussion: 7-9pm\nHRLA: 410 Cottage Home St\, LA 90012\nPart of the DecolonizeLA Art Exhibition: May 1-11 \nThe Liberated Arts Collective is a collaboration between formerly incarcerated people serving term-to-life sentences\, teaching artists and writers. We are invested in art as a tool for personal and community liberation\, cultural expression and social change. Formerly incarcerated people come to the collective with a range of art experience and interests; some began our art practice years before being incarcerated\, some started making art in prison\, while others haven’t called our work “art” until now. While incarcerated\, many of us used art as a tool to make money\, remain sane in solitary confinement or steer away from prison politics. Now on the outside\, we use art to recognize our power and potential\, engage in leadership\, build notoriety\, express our concerns and our solutions\, and exhibit our progress and our evolution. Through art\, we gain a platform for our collective voices\, speak to younger generations\, address the “crisis on the streets” and educate the public about our experiences in California State Prisons and the probation system. \nThe Liberated Arts Collective grew out of and is a project of the Youth Justice Coalition’s “Welcome Home LA\,” a re-entry project and support system built by formerly incarcerated people in order to bring others home. Welcome Home was a direct response to the lack of community-input in L.A. County’s and the state’s Reentry plans. The collective is owned and operated by liberated lifers and other formerly incarcerated people and serves as democratic space for the uplifting of the collective’s members\, their wisdom and vision. This event is part of HRAL’s DecolonizeLA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs. \nFor more info or to participate\, contact us:\nLiberatedArtsCollective@gmail.com\n(213) 536-1911 \n \n

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA - Critical Resistance LA
DESCRIPTION:Join the LA No More Jails Coalition on Mother’s Day! \nWe will be at the Lynwood Women’s Jail (Century Regional Detention Facility)\, hosting a rally and interactive event to build opposition to the proposed women’s jail in Lancaster and LA County’s $2.3 Billion Dollar Jail Plan. This year is a pivotal year for the jail fight\, as construction on the new women’s jail is slated to begin early next year. The LA No More Jails Coalition has been fighting LA County’s jail plan through its various forms since 2011\, and we are looking to build support and amplify the voices of those most directly impacted by the construction of a new jail. For our annual Mother’s Day event\, we will have interactive stations for families and supporters to write messages to their loved ones locked inside\, with a giant Mother’s Day Card to sign\, an instax photo booth for portraits of visitors to take home and post in the Mother’s Day card\, and an arts and crafts station where children can make their own cards. The LA No More Jails Coalition intends to create a space of warmth\, love\, and resistance at what is normally an intensely violent and sad space for families. We want to build community to be able to support people with imprisoned loved ones while also building opposition to the jail plan by holding space to talk about community alternatives to the policing and prisons that ravage our communities and take away our loved ones. \n \nThis event is part of the DecolonizeLA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs.

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA: Un-casting colonization from our dreams\, casting spells\, igniting our decolonized collective dreams through dance and plants w/ Charmaine Bee + Joy
DESCRIPTION:Join us to co-create change collectively as well as release restrictive & oppressive structures that limit expansion. Together let’s un-cast the nightmares of colonization! \nThis workshop/performance will consist of movement that co-creates ritual space\, use of herbs to support collective spell casting/ un-casting and to invoke and activate individual and collective dreams. Together we will interrogate how we can use our dream world as a space to activate our intentions. \nWe come to this work acknowledging the history\, psychological\, economic\, physiological impact of colonization on people Indigenous to the Americas as well as people of African heritage and the impact on our sacred practices of spell casting and un-casting. This work addresses “decolonizing” as a recognition and grounding in community to connect to the ever – evolving work (of our ancestors). Some of this work includes practices that have been passed on such as working with intention to manifest our desires. We are engaging in this work in order to assess/ release the oppressive structures that impact our growth and expansion from the micro to the macro level in the everyday. \nWe will bring our experience in herbalism/ plant medicine\, dream interpretation\, and healing movement work into the space to support the work of spell/un-casting. Be ready to move\, walk through the city\, dream & dance. Bring a lunch\, water\, and your intentions to decolonize L.A \nThis event is part of the Decolonize LA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs.

SUMMARY:DecolonizeLA : Suzanne Kite's "Sources" and "Some Numbers"
DESCRIPTION:Kite in collaboration with James Hurwitz and Devin Ronneberg present: \n“Sources or ( x ) x + [ ( x ) x { x } x x ] { x } +” is a performance that takes a body through an environmental simulation of the Oglala Lakota cosmologyscape\, shouldering the burden of 4 female Oglala characters who have shaped space/time. The piece includes 12 sculptures\, animation\, sound\, video\, carbon fiber\, clothing\, and movement\, developed from an obsessive hyper-structure derived from “bad” source books that attempt to qualify Oglala religion into simplified charts. This piece explores the relationship between the body and the entanglement between lies\, fiction\, oral history\, mythology\, ethnography\, and Oglala religion. \n“Some Numbers” is a lecture/performance that asks the question “WHY?” “Why are there so few Indigenous working artists? Why are there so few Indigenous art school graduates?” \nThis event is part of the Decolonize LA series\, and was made possible in part by a grant from the City of Los Angeles\, Department of Cultural Affairs.
