SUMMARY:Yann Novak: Repose
DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception: February 10\, 7 – 10pm\nClosing Performances: Rebecca Bruno\, Sarah Rara\, & Geneva Skeen\, February 18\, 8 – 10pm\nGallery Hours: February 11 – 12 & February 15 – 18\, noon – 5pm\nCurated by Suzy Halajian \nRepose is a solo exhibition of new work by Yann Novak that explores how context changes perception. \nRepose consists of an audiovisual installation and series of seven chromatic prints. The installation presents a monolithic sound piece\, comprised of purely synthetic timbres devoid of traditional compositional elements\, accompanied by a projected field of light that continually shifts in color\, hue\, and saturation. \nThe series of prints\, titled Repose.Heptaptych\, is fabricated on acoustic absorption panels and installed in the gallery foyer. Each print represents one of the seven fundamental colors in the installation. The acoustic properties of the material serve to dampen the ambient sound outside the gallery as the audience enters the more sonically excited environment of the installation. \nThe first iteration of this project began as a performance commissioned for the 2014 AxS Festival and was performed in Cocky Eek’s inflatable SPHÆRÆ. The performance was an examination of the inseparability of sound from context\, and its effects on our perception of time\, space and subjectivity. In that piece\, Novak proposed that our experience of sound is highly dependent upon the listening environment\, and that the modernist notion of “reduced listening” introduced and championed by Pierre Schaeffer is problematic as our ability to understand and decode sound is always produced as a negotiation between phenomenon and context. For the listener\, there is never an opportunity to decouple the phenomenon of listening from the personal\, structural\, and political context within which the sonic field exists. \nWhile structurally similar to the 2014 performance\, Repose reframes the original inquiry into the relationship between sound and environment by extending it into the world outside the gallery. While the original performance asked\, “How does a simple shift in color influence our experience of sound?”\, Novak asks the audience to allow their own experiences as a witness of the recent US election debacle to precede their interpretation of the work\, and further asks\, “How do the economic\, political\, and social problems of the United States recode our collective listening experience? What does it mean to come together as participants\, as subjects\, and allies in this context?” \nThe exhibition’s closing will present performances by Rebecca Bruno\, Sarah Rara\, and Geneva Skeen. Rebecca Bruno will offer a choreographic response to Novak’s Repose.Heptaptych. A gestural run-on sentence performed in four orientations meditating on the relationship between movement\, subjectivity\, and repetition. Sarah Rara will present Separating the Air\, a new performance which involves games of listening and learning between voice and computer at the boundary between music and speech. Each part is a device to punctuate silence\, divide time\, move the air.  Geneva Skeen will present Pop Song\, a temporal response to Novak’s drone work\, and a cultural response to our times. In harmonizing with Novak’s loop – divided into 3-4 minute segments (the average acceptable length of a pop song) – Skeen’s Pop Song acknowledges that populist times call for populist measures\, but refuses populist comfort\, acceptance\, and pale standards of beauty as means of resistance.

SUMMARY:Breaking up with Amerikkka
DESCRIPTION:Whether surprised by the results or not\, the complete and utter shittiness of the 2016 presidential elections has made one thing clear: for many\, if not most\, of us\, America is the worst boyfriend ever. We’re tired of explaining why something hurt us only to be told we’re imagining it. We’re tired of insufficient apologies that turn the blame back on us and tell us we’re too sensitive. We’re tired of hearing that America will change. When Donald Trump became president-elect\, the time for second chances and waiting to see what happens officially ran out. It’s time to break up\, America. It’s you\, not us. \nThis split is difficult\, even if it is necessary. It requires the support of the usual break up essentials\, friends\, wine\, and Beyoncé. Join host Artemisa Clark for a night of doing in public what we all\, by now\, have done in private: singing our favorite songs about the pain of and triumph over loss at the top of our lungs.

We will not be free if we do not imagine freedom… Dislodge the mind from the lazy\, timorous habit of thinking that the way we live now is the only way people can live.\n— Ursula K. Le Guin \nStatues and Attitudes is a three day exhibition and series of free public workshops and events; an imaginary educational institute and retreat center; a portal and a liminal space. Examining 1970s feminist speculative science fiction and themes such as environmentalism\, aging\, consumerism\, and time travel\, Statues and Attitudes investigates the trope of the futuristic female-only utopia as an exploration of female agency and liberation from patriarchy. Society faces a sudden catastrophic event. At this moment even the hope of human survival seems like a utopian desire. We seek to create a ritualized\, aesthetic space within which we will consider strategies for collective healing\, self-critique\, and social change. Metaxis is a Greek word that means an in-betweenness\, a way to exist in two different worlds at once. We visit astrologers and crystal healers. We have a sense of humor and a sense of responsibility. We find ways to protect and love each other. Statues and Attitudes gathers a chorus of women’s voices\, past and present\, that sings of things to come beyond the terrifying immediate future and of old possibilities that were never allowed to exist. We can make things happen.  \nWe invite you. You are not a consumer but a participant. We want to uncover our connections and reveal our communities. What are you are thinking? How are you feeling? There is no outside where you can simply stand and watch. We travel through time. We are laughing and crying. We are listening and reaching out. Anyone willing to participate is invited. Climb the ladder and throw it away. The body is engaged with our process of thinking. Thinking takes place simultaneously in the brain\, the body\, and the world around us. The universe is participatory. The universe is relational. The space from here to there is fixed. Those are the riverbanks. But the space between is unforeseeable. The river you enter is always new.

SUMMARY:Corey Fogel\, Dicky Bahto\, and Tashi Wada
DESCRIPTION:Human Resources hosts a new performance by artists Corey Fogel\, Dicky Bahto\, and Tashi Wada. The hour-long structured improvisation will feature generative imagery on multiple slide projectors\, pitched metal percussion\, keyboard\, bagpipe\, electronics\, and sirens. \nCorey Fogel  is a drummer and artist currently living in Los Angeles\, CA. His practice is based in spontaneous encounters often involving the intersection of sounds\, objects\, textiles\, foods\, frequently in collaboration with other musicians and artists. Fogel engages the viewer to consider sound as a medium on par with paint and cellulose. Fogel performs and composes in many rock\, jazz\, noise\, folk\, and chamber music ensembles.  \nDicky Bahto makes work utilizing still and motion picture photography\, sound\, installation\, and performance\, which he has shown at places including the Museum of Modern Art\, the Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles\, the Huntington\, REDCAT\, San Francisco Cinematheque\, Monday Evening Concerts\, Jancar Jones Gallery\, the wulf.\, and the Echo Park Film Center. \nTashi Wada grew up in New York and lives in Los Angeles. His compositions use apparently simple structures and carefully calibrated tuning systems to generate rich and unanticipated perceptual effects. Wada presents his music often in collaboration with other artists including Charles Curtis and Stephan Mathieu\, in addition to performing regularly with his father Yoshi Wada. Wada runs Saltern\, an imprint of Important Records\, which he started in 2014.

SUMMARY:Final Fantasy Art Show
DESCRIPTION:It’s not the end that matters! It’s knowing that you have something to live for right now\, at this moment! Something you’ve worked for… something that’s worth protecting! As long as you have that…that’s enough!\n– Terra Branford\, Final Fantasy VI \nDo you like Final Fantasy? Do you like to draw? Do you like art at all? If you answered yes to any of those questions then come on out! \nAnyone can come and make drawings around the theme of “Final Fantasy” and get your drawings hung in a massive epic drawing mural. Recreate stills from gameplay\, draw from memories you have playing the games\, or (if you never played the games) just meditate on the meaning of the words “final” and “fantasy” and draw from there. Old strategy guides will be on hand as reference points. Final Fantasy is a wide ranging series that explores ecological issues\, misuse of technology\, class disparity\, and the nature of memory… So there’s a lot of material to work with. The work will be installed and exhibited as it’s made by anyone who wants to come- blurring the line between audience and artist in a way that reflects the porous and ephemeral relationship between a video game and it’s players. This workshop is for everyone who likes to draw no matter how talented you think you are or aren’t. \nEvents \nSATURDAY 1/14 \nSergi Gee and Camelliah Saleh: 11am\nDrawing with Marcos Siref: 12 noon\nDrawing with Nicky Rojo: 1 pm\nJames Raymond DJ set and Drawing: 2 pm\nMarisol Ceja Godinez from We the GEEKS of EAST LA: 3 pm\nJeffzilla: 4 pm\nComedy and drawing with Lauren White: 5 pm\nJasmine Nyende: 6pm\nKristin Smallwood DJ set: 7 pm\nNick Malkin DJ set: 8 pm\nMicah James DJ set: 9 pm \nSunday 1/15 \nBreakfast and Drawing with John Buttle\, Michale Piña\, and Guan Rong: 11 am\nSoyoung Shin: 12 noon\nDeana Uribe: 1 pm\nDrawing and DJ set with Jay Lizo: 2 pm\nViolin and more with Pauline Lay: 3 pm\nWhitney Gibson: 4 pm\nVegan Dinner Hour with Margie Schnibbe: 5 pm\nFinal Final Fantasy L3T’S GAY with Johnnie JungleGuts: 6pm \nThis event is also a party for the last Final Fantasy VI episode of Johnnie JungleGuts’ let’s play series\, L3T’S GAY. The final episode of L3T’S GAY FFVI will be projected and recorded at 7pm onto the Lifestream mural on Sunday\, January the 15th. Come hang out and be a part of the recording! \n\nFree and open to the public! \nsupplies provided (newsprint\, sumi ink\, pencil) \nDrawings will be screened for discriminatory content.

SUMMARY:Red in the Missile Room
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a night of intimate performances in the reverberant sonic environment at Human Resources\, in celebration of the release of Jonathan Silberman’s new solo saxophone album Red in the Missile Room. \nPerformances by: \nJonathan Silberman \nLaura Steenberge \nJake Rosenzweig \nEric Kiersnowski \nAbout the performers: \nJonathan Silberman will be performing solo on tenor saxophone. Known for his collaborative music making\, he has composed and performed extensively as a member of the LA quartet Godzik Pink (5RC/Kill Rock Stars)\, the trio Rats and quartet LA Fog\, in addition to numerous other collaborations and ongoing experiments with solo saxophone. Jonathan runs the shop/studio/art space Character Projects.   \nLaura Steenberge is a performer\, composer and researcher living in Los Angeles. Current interests include: songs\, vocal interference\, low frequencies\, nonsense\, tubes\, Byzantine chant\, paper\, aliens\, necromancy\, villains\, harmonicas\, tuning forks\, birds. Current Instruments include: viola da gamba\, contrabass\, piano\, guitar\, harmonica\, voice\, invented instruments.  \nJacob Rosenzweig is a bassist/composer/improviser based in Los Angeles who performs in numerous musical capacities. Some projects include: Stupid Man Suit\, Three Thirds\, The Matty Harris Double Septet\, and Music for Bass Quartet. As a solo bass performer Jacob has developed a unique playing style and repertoire\, favoring the idiosyncratic and little known sounds of his instrument\, which can be heard on his 2016 album Janus. \nEric Kiersnowski is a musician and composer known for his unique playing and songwriting in projects including Godzik Pink\, Rats\, his current project Featherwolf\, Upsilon Acrux\, Totally Serious\, and others. On this night he will be performing original works for solo guitar.  \nAbout the album: \nRed in the Missile Room is a new album of themes and explorations on solo saxophone by Jonathan Silberman. It is his first solo album\, after releasing recordings since the late 1990s with collaborative projects including Godzik Pink\, Rats\, and LA Fog.  \nRed in the Missile Room is comprised of twelve tracks\, each of them performed on tenor or soprano saxophone\, recorded live and without overdubs. The tracks vary in approach\, from lyrical and angular melodies to ‘sound based’ multiphonic thematic improvisations. The common thread is a grounding in the present moment\, bringing together the experiences of performer and listener in an intimate way. \nA critical part of the vision for this album was to release it as a full length Vinyl LP\, as well as a digital release\, and a limited edition vinyl pressing of 520 copies has been made featuring artwork by the artist. The approach to recording was carefully conceived with engineer RJ Russell to capture a broad and colorful dynamic sound spectrum in high fidelity\, and represent the album’s fullest sonic potential. Financed in part with supporter contributions\, the album will be available at the show and also can be found online here: https://jlsrecordings.bandcamp.com/releases  \nThis event is co-presented by Character Projects

SUMMARY:Suspended Susto: A La Flor
DESCRIPTION:Susupended Susto:A La Flor is a durational performance work focusing on the tumultuous feelings and thoughts of my queer brown body and its relationships to others. This performance is a collection of actions\, sounds\, images and gestures that are influenced by my body’s ancestral traumas and personal experiences with space\, land\, violence and beauty. This piece functions as my reminiscing and manifestation of the feminine in the “male” body and how the queer body\, by its radical nature\, defends and survives amidst a heteronormative hegemony that constantly tries to assimilate it. \nThis work will culminate a years work in the Bay Area for my return back to Los Angeles. \n$5-10 sliding scale (no one turned away for lack of funds) \nAbout Sebastian:\nSebastian Hernandez is an LA native and multi-disciplinary artist whom received his B.A. double majoring in Art Practice and Dance and Performance Studies at the University of California Berkeley in 2016. He makes art that ranges from drawings to paintings and performance art works. Hernandez employs a feminist theoretical analysis\, queer theory\, browness and notions of collectivity as modes of thinking and generating works that shift and complicate Mexican and Chicano narratives in the contemporaneous social imagination. His art making is influenced by an embedded connection to his indigenous Aztec/Mexica heritage and the history of the brown body in relation to the U.S.-Mexico borderland. Sebastian’s movement based practice is informed by his long standing practice of danza Azteca\, Vogue and the more recent wide range of modern dance techniques he’s learned at Cal. Sebastian’s work inherently challenges traditional notions of space as he deals with his work’s interdisciplinary nature within both art and dance contexts.

SUMMARY:Rocket Rain موشک باران
DESCRIPTION:December 2 – December 18\, 2016\nOpening Reception: Friday\, Dec 2\, 7pm-10pm\nGallery Hours: Wednesday-Sunday\, 12pm-6pm \nRocket Rain borrows its title from the second chapter of the Iran-Iraq War\, known in the West as “The War of the Cities”\, which Iranians refer to and remember as ???? ????? mooshak-baran: “Rocket Rain.” Initiated by the Iraqi Air Force in 1984\, and quickly retaliated by Iran\, this was a series of systemic air raids over major cities densely populated by civilians. The artist was born in 1986 during the Rocket Rain of Tehran and currently lives in Los Angeles as a refugee. \nThe Exhibition was inspired by revisiting the 1985-1986 archives of Iranian Newspaper Kayhan (Cosmos) from the nine months the artist’s mother was pregnant with her\, her second child during the war. From the banality of crossword puzzles\, published in the wartime newspaper for the “leisure” of those living under the bombs and rockets to the three instances the U.N.General Assembly unanimously voted for the end of the Iran-Iraq War in 1982\, 1986 and 1988\, the exhibition juxtaposes the different abstractions of war. Drawing from the most intimate to the most generic imagery\, Rocket Rain provides a lens through which to grapple with the political landscape of the Iranian nation state\, while reflecting on the state of perpetual\, imminent war in the U.S. \nThe images\, archives and objects that were visited as research and material in this exhibition were shipped from Tehran\, Iran by the artist’s parents during the harshest economic sanctions over the span of three years. \nCurated by Vardui Sharapkhanyan\, the exhibition runs from December 2 to December 18 and will include public programming. A companion publication with essay contributions by Dan Bustillo\, Hrag Vartanian and Gelare Khoshgozaran will be available for purchase.

SUMMARY:John Wiese: Battery Instruments
DESCRIPTION:BATTERY INSTRUMENTS\n• 4-channel video/4-channel sound (2016 version) *Debut\n• 4-channel video/2-channel sound (2012 version)\n• 8-channel sound (2009 version) \nOpen from noon to 9pm. Reception from 7 to 9pm.\nFree \nEditions available at the event. More info TBA. \n  \n  \nThe cinema of ‘pure means’: John Wiese’s Battery Instruments as history lesson.\nBruce Russell \nJohn Wiese’s Battery Instruments is a work that provokes a lot of thought. And ?rst among these thoughts for me is to consider what it might mean to designate him\, on the evidence presented in this installation project\, as a ?lm maker. \nThere was a tedious fashion a few years ago for composers to produce sound tracks for imaginary movies. Barry Adamson did a few once he had no gainful employment while waiting for the new wave of New Wave to pick up Magazine again. In a cultural sense this kind of thing is pure ‘makework’\, like setting the unemployed to dig holes and ?ll them again. It’s also in my opinion an illegitimate extension of one art form into the territory occupied by another\, and moreover one that tends to arise from a ‘narrative’ understanding of music. This seems to me one of the most pernicious pretensions of a jumped-up art form — the idea that music can communicate narrative meaning is pure Wagner\, and that way lies\, if not madness\, at the very least the Nuremburg Rallies. \nBut if\, on the other hand\, we are willing to let sounds ‘be what they are’ — what can be ‘said’ — what can be ‘said’ with them? \nOne way to approach an answer to this question begins by ‘unpacking’ Battery Instruments to reveal what deeper meanings may be implicit beneath its austere surfaces. This process begins with the experience of getting into a box in which a media work is presented. This is what got me thinking about the cinema in the ?rst place. \nOnce inside this ‘magic lantern show’ of sound; the stuttering\, glooping\, belching and tapping that comprise the radically edited phonemes of the piece (circulating in their eight channels like planets in an endless dance of conjunction and epicyclical enjambment) instantly evoked references to both sound poetry\, and then (when considered alongside Wiese’s practice as a typographer) one of the twentieth century’s less well-known but unimpeachably radical aesthetics of rejection — Lettrism. \nAnd the business of Lettrism\, apart from provoking scandals in a time when this was still possible\, was mainly concerned with poetry and the cinema. Their approach to both was instructively thorough-going. As Serge Berna put it in 1952 with regard to film: \nToday\, faced with the imperatives imposed upon us by the cinematographic tradition\, we must smash the double magic circle that protects this citadel. The ?rst is the sacred barrier within which one guards the credo: ‘Cinema-is-images’. \nThe radicality of these questions posed to art forms and media by the ?rst Lettrists remains substantially un-recouped in 2009. Isidore Isou’s strict requirement remains in force: that after its initial elaboration in the ‘amplic phase’\, every form of expression should be puri?ed by ‘chiselling’ out the content of the form in order to reveal what is truly essential in it. And very clearly what is least essential to the cinema is the image. \nOf course this kind of paradoxical mangling of concepts is easily done — saying that an artist unconcerned with moving images is engaged with the cinema! What pish — it’s the conceptual equivalent of shooting ?sh in a barrel: which is proverbially understood to be opposite of meaningful sport. But my sport here is decidedly meaningful\, as will become apparent when we consider what really constitutes what we call ‘media’. \nUnderstanding the process through which media arise is the key to Berna’s ‘smashing of the double magic circle’. Jonathan Sterne’s magisterial work The Audible Past examines exactly this question: ‘what makes media?’ \nThis is so basic it is almost never asked\, or even understood to be question-able. Sterne makes plain the way that what we accept as media appear to be so natural precisely because they are uniquely pervasive forms of rei?cation. And rei?cation is only perceptible as such by a somersault of the mind precisely because it has the appearance of natural inevitability. These social realities may not be questioned precisely because the prevailing social and economic relations assert that they can ‘be’ in no other way. \nWe generally assume that media are identical with technologies. Yet as Sterne makes plain\, media are much more than this\, they are “recurring sets of contingent social relations and social practices” which cohere around technologies. In Bourdieurian terms they are technologies in association with a speci?c habitus. \nSterne explicates this by showing how sound technologies in their earliest phases have very loose connections with media — the telephone\, for instance\, at some periods was used for broad.casting and seemed to have a great future in that realm. At the same time the radio was used primarily for point-to-point communication\, and even once it became articulated within broadcasting networks\, it had an almost complete allergy to recorded music — to a degree which today seems quite inexplicable. Yet today we cannot conceive of a broadcasting telephony or a point-to-point radio network — which is why cell phones and Blackberry-type PDAs are considered ‘phones’ (albeit with additional characteristics)\, even though they are actually radios\, because the social practices that structure their use make them so. Witness the branding of one of the most fully-featured and least ‘telephone-like’ of these devices as the iPhone. The actual technology which makes these work is not constitutive of their social reality qua media\, but their ‘mode of use’ is — in this case point-to-point communication in a telephone network. \nMy point here is that Isou’s Lettrists (and by extension\, John Wiese) are historically vindicated in conceiving a cinema which is not visual — for quite some time in the nineteenth century the sound recording was socially received as a concert performance media analogous to the soon-to-be-invent.ed cinema. People gathered together to hear phonographic performances. This tradition was of course revived in France following the invention of electro-acoustic music. And much later a group of French mavericks promoted a series of recorded works on the Metamkine label as ‘Cinema for the Ear’. Their meaning was not that these were ‘soundtracks’ or adjuncts to visual narratives\, but that they were\, in and of themselves; ?lms. \nWhich brings us back to Battery Instruments. The other characteristic of Wiese’s work that stakes its claim as cinematic is its emphasis on editing and repetition. Giorgio Agamben has written of Debord’s cinematographic work that its virtue lies in its wholehearted emphasis on the real core of cinema\, which he de?nes as montage. In this Debord exposes his debt to his ?rst master\, Isidore Isou. And what\, Agamben asks\, are the ‘transcendental conditions’ (to borrow a Kantian terminology) on which montage relies? They are: ‘repetition and stoppage’. \nAnd the same may be said of Wiese himself. His work to date has proven that he is an ‘editor’s editor’ — he builds by dissection\, cutting down to tiny blocks of sound which he then reassembles to create sound work which cannot in reality exist. Sounds don’t behave acoustically the way they behave in the work of John Wiese. Like all great artists he makes the world conform totally to his vision — or perhaps I should say: to his audition. \nAnd this is certainly true of Battery Instruments. By recon?guring the classic audible elements of a rock band: guitar\, bass\, drums and voice — into independent channels of tightly edited ‘phonemes’\, which chance then remixes into an impossible sound ?eld of sequential spatially distributed noise events presented within the miniature auditorium that is his cinematheque\, Wiese simultaneously evokes the Lettrist cinema without images\, and its reduction of poetry to far less even than words or syllables — to letters. And as Agamben has also observed: “stoppage shows us that cinema is closer to poetry than to prose”. It can counter syntactical limits with acoustic and metrical limits\, as poetry does. \nAnd as Battery Instruments does. Dissolving the form of rock music in the acid of montage\, it then precipitates it again into the form of a poetic cinema of the ear. This is the cinema that Agamben has argued is a ‘pure means’ because\, contrary to the prevailing Hegelian conception that the medium must disappear into the expression\, it uses repetition and stoppage to draw attention to the medium\, to prevent the false disappearance of the image into the absolute. \nAnd John Wiese’s work is his medium — sound — rather than any illegitimate message grafted onto the waves which carry it to us. The message\, which is shown in the form rather than signi?ed in the content\, is the time-dissolving wager of audition itself\, the kinematos which is implicit in all life. \n(Essay from the original 2009 Battery Instruments monograph) \nJohn Wiese “Battery Instruments” (Score\, 2009)

SUMMARY:Dorian Wood + String Quartet : A Dios
DESCRIPTION:Of us\, repeatedly staring down into the precipice of fleeting consciousness; of milk and lust; of the breadth of celebrity death…an evening of music by Dorian Wood and conductor/arranger Danny Graziani\, with art direction by Eduardo Alvarez (director of Wood’s video “O”).\n \n\n“A fearless artist and performer whose voice inhabits a room like a choir of ghosts” (LA Weekly)\, Dorian Wood seeks to glorify both the sanctity and irreverence of intimacy. Through the use of his corpulent body and distinct vocalization\, Wood revels in challenging the artist-audience separation\, using subject matter informed by his own position in society as a queer man of color and an autodidact without a formal college education nor a strong alliance to any particular community. His work has been showcased in institutions such as LACMA (Los Angeles)\, The Stone (NYC)\, Kulturhuset (Stockholm)\, and Hebbel am Ufer (Berlin). As a musician\, he has released over a dozen recordings. His two most recent back-to-back albums\, Rattle Rattle and Down\, The Dirty Roof\, showcase a series of doomsday-themed songs that incorporate over 60 musicians. He is currently working on a new album\, XALÁ\, set for release in 2017. Tickets: $15 in advance; $20 at the door. Purchase advance tickets here!\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8vMUzj80Zs

SUMMARY:Keywords for Radicals: L.A. Launch and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:In Keywords (1976)\, Raymond Williams devised a “vocabulary” of culture and society that reflected the vast social transformations marking the post-war period. Following Williams\, Keywords for Radicals asks: what vocabulary might illuminate the social transformations marking our own contested present? How do these words shape the political imaginary of today’s radical left? \nBringing together the insights of dozens of scholars and committed troublemakers\, Keywords for Radicals constellates a vocabulary of contested words that shape today’s political landscape. More than a glossary\, Keywords for Radicals makes clear that contests over word usage and meaning are themselves meaningful. By forcing words to reveal the underlying social contradictions they symptomatically express\, the contributors to this volume provide an important new vantage on the terrain—and the stakes—of contemporary struggle. \nJoin special guest Robin D.G. Kelley and Keywords for Radicals editor Clare O’Connor to explore the meaning and significance of the worlds within our words! \nROBIN D.G. KELLEY is is the Gary B. Nash Professor of American History at UCLA. His research has explored the history of social movements in the U.S.\, the African Diaspora\, and Africa; black intellectuals; music; visual culture; contemporary urban studies; poverty studies and ethnography; colonialism/imperialism; organized labor; constructions of race; Surrealism\, Marxism\, nationalism\, among other things. \nCLARE O’CONNOR is a contributing editor of Keywords for Radicals and a doctoral student in Communication at USC. She is former Coordinator of the Public Interest Research Group (Toronto) and cofounder of the activist training program Tools for Change. Between 2007 and 2013 she served on the editorial committee of Upping the Anti: A journal of theory and action. \nFor more information about the book\, visit:\nhttps://www.akpress.org/keywords-for-radicals.html

SUMMARY:Robert Beatty • John Wiese/Mitchell Brown • Smokey Emery
DESCRIPTION:live in concert \nROBERT BEATTY\nJOHN WIESE / MITCHELL BROWN\nSMOKEY EMERY \ndonate eight\n_ _ _ _ _ _ _ \nRobert Beatty (Lexington\, Kentucky) \nConcurrent to crushing noise-rock norms and jockeying shattered electronics in Hair Police\, Robert Beatty has – over a decade and a half – also cut a solo path of pulses and tricks under the guise of Three Legged Race. These underground sounds have been spooled by tape labels crucial to their times: Gods of Tundra\, Night People\, NNA\, and Vitrine. More frequent live appearances and Beatty’s Soundtracks for Takeshi Murata have brought his sounds to more ears and his name to more lips. An apparent insistence on cassette and vinyl for physical releases hint at the technology-stretch at play in all of his work. Like the globally recognizable album art Beatty has created for others\, his own electro-sonics blur the line between analog artifact and digital method. And this ambiguity is intrinsic to his era-less weirdness: mystery mindscapes that can evoke The Residents or alternately offer a fully twisted take on contempo fake-techno. This is Beatty’s first show in Los Angeles in three years and his first in town since shedding the Three Legged Race moniker for live performances in favor of his own name. \nJohn Wiese / Mitchell Brown \nCuts and folds and layers of sound; abstractions that suggest referent but defy recognition. Words fail\, but still these here do loosely approximate audio aspects of two perennial figures of experimental music activity in Los Angeles. Mitchell Brown’s seemingly ubiquitous presence performing live has brought his analog alchemies and head expansion techniques to the front of the class as Professor Cantaloupe and as a next-gen LAFMS exponent. John Wiese’s digital incisions and perpetual bricolage have laid a concrète path from the extremities of the American underground\, around the earth\, and to the studios of INA-GRM. Duo collaborations are core to each of these system-riggers\, and – of course – they are no strangers: the Superstitious cut on Wiese’s mid-career chronicle Deviate from Balance documents an early aughts meeting between the two\, and they have collabed live with each other in various Spacek ensembles and Smegma connected jams. Yet\, the two haven’t paired up for a live action in nearly a dozen years. Come hear the air tear. \nSmokey Emery \nBarely within sight\, darkness swallows a shadow at the far end of a long corridor\, leaving only a cascade of echoes. Such are the dank dreamstate atmospherics conjured by Smokey Emery\, a long running project of Houston-born artist Daniel Hipólito. An itinerant accumulator of sound\, he coaxes a mix of soundscape fragments and material decay from prepared tape loops snaking through a apparatus of vintage dictaphone\, reel-to-reel\, and cassette decks. Synthesis and rhythm also work their way into the flow\, as has been captured on recent releases on Holodeck and Chondritic Sound. With Hipólito’s re-location to Los Angeles from Texas\, Smokey Emery has begun to be more readily visible diffusing sound into rooms around town.

SUMMARY:Seduction of a Cyborg
DESCRIPTION:Exhibition Dates: October 7-23\, 2016\nOpening Reception: Saturday\, October 8\, 7-10pm  \nSeduction of a Cyborg explores intimacy\, sex\, and desire as related to technocratic fantasies of futurity\, (re)production of bodies\, and fractured selfhood in the digital age. The fictional and the virtual intersect\, exposing narratives that activate\, transform\, and deconstruct our understanding of the networked and plugged-in subject. The exhibition springs from an engagement with the work of Lynn Hershman Leeson\, a foundational feminist artist whose work has explored selfhood and technology for over fifty-years. The exhibition places special focus on Hershman Leeson’s feature-length film Teknolust (2002)\, in which a female bio-geneticist downloads her own DNA to produce cyborgnetic clones that subsist on sexually obtained Y-chromosomes and act as “portals” on the internet where users fulfill fantasies and dreams. \nSeduction of a Cyborg considers this and other early works by Hershman Leeson as a point of inception in examining a range of practices by artists\, which include video\, photography\, installation\, and web-based projects. The exhibition presents historical and contemporary works that call on critical ideas of and around technofeminism\, queer theory\, and disembodiment. The erotic innuendo inherent in the politics and possibilities of nascent technologies\, as well as a longing for an era of low-fi and analogue\, mark points of interest that extend from the 1990s to today. Other works realize fantastical and futuristic (gender) identities\, presenting body parts that have been biotechnologically produced and avatar identities that assume mutable identities online. In the realm of the virtual\, the imaginary knows no limits. \nArtists in the exhibition include: Sadie Benning; Hannah Black; Johanna Breiding; Shu Lea Cheang; Linda Dement; Ricardo Dominguez\, Francesca da Rimini\, and Michael Grimm; Deanna Erdmann; Lynn Hershman Leeson; Faith Holland; Juliana Huxtable; Martine Neddam; Alexei Shulgin; Vertical Blanking (Kim McKillip and Michael J. Masucci); and Pinar Yoldas.\nSeduction of a Cyborg is curated by David Evans Frantz\, Hannah Grossman\, and Simone Krug\, 2017 MA Candidates in Curatorial Practices and the Public Sphere Program at the USC Roski School of Art and Design. \nGallery hours are Wednesday through Sunday\, 12-6pm\, October 7 – 23\, 2016. An opening reception will be held on October 8 from 7-10pm. \nA screening of Lynn Hershman Leeson’s film Teknolust (2002)\, presented in collaboration with a shorts program curated by Dirty Looks LA\, will be held at Human Resources on Sunday\, October 16 from 6-8pm.

SUMMARY:Jakob Brugge
DESCRIPTION:Laoshou Mountain in southwestern China was quarried for more than two decades. Shortly after the quarry’s closure\, the Funnin County Forestry department decided to reconcile the barren mountainside with its surrounding foliage. The conclusion they reached was to paint the mountain. Workers sprayed the section of land a bright\, vaguely chemical green\, tracing the exact outline of the quarry. This decision\, whether simply a dishonest attempt at “greening” or the result of a more substantial bureaucratic drama\, presents a startlingly incongruous failure of representation\, but also\, perhaps\, a development in the potential of authenticity and redescription. The true reasons behind Funnin County’s decision are largely unknown; however\, they provide a methodology of well reasoned foolishness through which to view this exhibition. \nThe exhibition consists of the failed execution of a DIY design and the ensuing attempts to reconcile its deficiencies. A set of Adirondack furniture was mistakenly built out of drop ceiling tiles\, accidentally broken\, and then recast out of plastic to ensure its structural stability. This reformatting establishes a logic of compromise from which the rest of the work emerges. Each element appears in mediated and codependent forms\, functioning ultimately as a staging of uncertainty. \nJakob Brugge (b. 1990\, Los Angeles) Studied at Washington University in St. Louis and the Gerrit Rietveld Academie (Amsterdam\, NL). \nOpening: September 27th\, 7—10pm\nExhibition on view from September 28th—2nd October (12pm-6pm daily)
