SUMMARY:Por que somos e não somos tropicalistas: Moving image from Recife\, Brazil
DESCRIPTION:Opening Wednesday November 8th\, 7-9pm\nOn View November 9th-19th\, Weds-Sun 12-6pm \nBecause we are and we aren’t tropicalists presents recent moving image works by artists and filmmakers from Recife\, Pernambuco\, a city in the north-east of Brazil that is renowned for its film and art scenes. The works depict Recife and the surrounding Pernambucan interior to engage the material realities of its beaches\, squares\, churches\, parks\, tropical urban forests\, and bridges and canals\, as well as the sertão (the arid interior region of the State). These accounts produce fictional visions of the modern built environment\, re-envisioning an urban space marked by rampant real estate speculation and the social movements that contest it. The city’s Other appears in the form of tropical forests and the sertão\, proposing both the fecundity and aridity of these landscapes in jarring opposition to – but continually present in – Recife’s everyday imaginary. \nRecife as a locale is a city of multiple crossings. Located at the confluence of the Beberibe and Capibaribe rivers before they flow into the Atlantic Ocean\, its many waterways\, islands\, and bridges create a unique urban landscape. The works address inclusion in and exclusion from the city’s modernizing narrative (one that extends from Spanish\, Dutch and Portuguese colonization) and the contemporary possibilities for decolonizing these cities and challenging the social codes that govern public space. These artists and filmmakers construct new narratives on the frontiers of the real space of the city with works that oscillate between the status of performance and document. \nThe exhibition takes its name from the Manifesto Tropicalista written by the poet and intellectual Jomard Muniz de Britto in Recife in 1968. This manifesto aligned itself with the 60s tropicalist movements in Rio and São Paulo\, citing the desire to move away from what had become a controlling regionalist discourse. The manifesto identified “transit and trance” as key states of inventiveness\, as well as advocating a creative stance of “madness against stupidity!”. \nCurated by Zanna Gilbert \nJonathas de Andrade\, O Levante | The Uprising\, 2013\nDaniel Santiago\, O Velho Ernest Hemingway e o Mar do Recife | The Old Ernest Hemingway and the Sea of Recife\, 2012\nCristiano Lenhardt\, Guaracys\, 2016\nIrma Brown\, Vadia | Bitch\, 2016\nGabriel Mascaro\, As Aventuras de Paulo Bruscky | The Adventures of Paulo Bruscky\, 2010\nJulio Cavani\, Historia Natural | Natural History\, 2014  \n\nCristiano Lenhardt\, Guaracys\, 2016.

SUMMARY:MERCE (Maria Chavez/Shelley Burgon)\, Lucas Gorham
DESCRIPTION:MERCE is a duo comprised of harpist/electronic musician Shelley Burgon and turntablist Maria Chavez. Tracing it’s roots to the artists’ time in residence with the Merce Cunningham Dance company\, this project finds Maria and Shelley performing improvised pieces that employ loops and live processing. MERCE has performed at Issue Project Room\, MoMA PS1 and the Stone in New York City. This will be the duos’ first performance in Los Angeles. \nMaria Chavez is an avant-turntablist whose work has been known to focus on solo electric-acoustic sound pieces that use a collection of new and broken needles\, which she calls “pencils of sound.” Accidents\, coincidence and failures are themes that unite her sound sculptures\, installations and other works with her improvised solo turntable performance practice. \nShelley Burgon is a harpist\, composer and sound artist living and working in both NYC and CA. Shelley is currently a member in the chamber group Ne(x)tworks featuring Joan La Barbara and in Anthony Braxton’s Septet. As a soloist she performs ambient\, ethereal\, electronic music and enjoys making multichannel sound and light installations. \nLucas Gorham is an interdisciplinary artist whose work ranges from music (both pop and avant- forms) to conceptual art. Within the world of experimental music\, he is most known for his work on prepared lap steel guitar\, where his live performances seek to walk the line between meditative compositions and spastic improvisations. \nDoors at 7pm / Sound at 8pm

SUMMARY:Andrew Norman Wilson - Pretense
DESCRIPTION:Opening: Friday October 6 from 6-9 pm\nOn view: October 6-20 Wednesday-Sunday from 12-6 pm\nInquiries and Appointments: awilso7@saic.edu\nThrough the use of puppets both computer-generated and hand-made\, the recent work of Andrew Norman Wilson stages inescapable narrative scenarios in which rational thought becomes contradictory and human exceptionalism unravels. Drawn from the popular imagination\, the videos’ anthropomorphized characters mimic our emotions and behavior while exploiting the illusory and uncertain qualities of puppetry. In the words of the artist\, “Being a person means being paranoid that you might be a puppet of some other force\, like economic networks or algorithms or genetic coding.” Divided\, replicated\, transposed\, and multiplied\, Wilson’s puppets are subjected to biological and computational functions within infinitely looping narratives where perceptual play reigns and human reason offers no escape. \nThe Unthinkable Bygone (2016) was the first project Wilson developed in collaboration with the animator Vlad Maftei\, whose experience includes realistic simulations of vital organs for the healthcare industry as well as the limitless elasticity of a 4D Spongebob Squarepants film. For Wilson\, such overlaps of scientific visualization and popular cinematic technique are a key site for understanding science as a cultural practice that offers information about matter without revealing a consciousness-piercing truth. Together Wilson and Maftei created a 3D model of Baby Sinclair from Jim Henson’s animatronic puppet TV series Dinosaurs (1991-94) and subjected him to varied forms of scientific analysis\, including simulation\, dissection\, reflection\, and endoscopy. What emerges is an infinite loop in which speculation on an organism’s intelligence\, experience\, and points of view inevitably reveal the influence of cinematic and televisual convention\, and leave us knowing less than we did at the beginning of the experiment. \nReality Models (2016) is a shot-by-shot recreation of a scene from “Peppermint Park\,” an educational home video series produced in the 1980s by a group of investors seeking to profit off the narrative models that “Sesame Street” invented for educational children’s entertainment. A s the artist recounts\, “Growing up\, a family friend had several copies of the VHS tapes and I remember being terrified of an unexplained dance sequence by a breakaway puppet dressed to look like a scarecrow. A few years ago\, clips from the show resurfaced online\, and my relationship with the dancing scarecrow has shifted from horror to obsession.” Wilson added a backstage scene that reveals the puppet as h is own puppeteer. Inspired by a 2010 experiment by the physicist Aaron O’Connell\, the scene dramatizes the discovery that an object visible to the naked human eye can be in two places at once\, thus demonstrating the influence of quantum physics on objects larger than atoms. In his essay on the video\, Wilson writes\, “From here it starts to seem like existing means being inconsistent\, while dying means becoming consistent. Or that classical logic – where things are either A or B \, but never A and B at the same time – is being replaced by a quantum logic which says t hat all future possibilities exist i n the p resent.” O ne could say t he narrative operates analogically to that idea. Or\, it’s a demonstration of how\, in cinema and literature\, narrative closure occurs when plot and story arrive at a 1:1 ratio: consistency. At its most basic\, it’s the s tory of an artist torn between their public persona and the private struggle of day-to-day survival. Whatever it means\, Reality Models is about just that: whatever it means. In the words of O’Connell\, “People have models of reality\, and those models are descriptions\, but they d on’t get you any closer to the truth.” \nOde to Seekers 2012 (2016) was the second project Wilson developed in collaboration with Maftei and was initially conceived during treatment at Rockland Psychiatric Center in Orangeburg New York\, which contains the abandoned children’s ward seen in the video. Loosely based on John Keats’ poem “Ode on a Grecian Urn” (1820)\, the work emerges from a translation of the formal techniques of Keats’ textual ode to an infinitely looping video. Ekphrasis – the graphic\, dramatic description of a visual work of art – shifts from Keats’ urn and the celebratory scene it depicts to an abandoned children’s ward at a mental institution and a computer-generated scene composed by Wilson and Maftei. “What mad pursuit? What struggle to escape? What pipes and timbrels? What wild ecstasy?” The questions that Keats asks of the images on the urn are visually translated for the viewer of Seekers \, transposing the poet’s queries to a scene in which a mosquito\, a syringe\, and an oil pump all thrust their piercers into a surface that looks at once like human skin under a microscope\, desert salt flats\, and potato casserole. Sifting through the artist’s experiences with mosquito-borne illness\, drug addiction\, and climate change\, the work operates as both a questioning of and a testament to the choice to continue to make art\, or do anything at all\, when every attempt to love\, desensitize\, or survive inevitably entails traumatic destruction. \nA sculpture entitled Robin Williams Window Shade (2015) is mounted in the former cinema. The artist bought a resin cast of Robin’s head from a Hollywood prop studio that was made when the actor was still alive. Face casts seem to anticipate a person’s death – they not only require the person to “play dead” during the making of the mold\, but they also outlive the person\, turning their form into a replicable commemoration. Wilson 3D-scanned the cast and worked with a 3D modeler to open its eyes and make it grimace in the way Robin Williams was known to do. He also 3D-scanned an alligator clip that the modeler used to pinch his eyebrow within the software. The clip\, but not its effect\, was then removed and the model was 3D printed and thrust through a hole in a piece of faux leather. As with the baby dinosaur from The Unthinkable Bygone \, Wilson picks up traces of forms\, copies of copies\, and attempts to reanimate the affect of their source towards atypical ends. He writes\, “With the face print in my hands\, I am ecstatic. Then\, a feeling that something was always absent\, regardless of the fact that it’s a faceprint of a faceprint of a faceprint of a face. Like any object itself\, Robin himself was never an adequate expression of his actual existence. In person\, he sparkled with the same mysterious absence as this powder print in my hands\, or as in the projection I saw of Mrs. Doubtfire’s face\, covered in cake icing\, yelling ‘toodaloo’ from behind a refrigerator door. The object is mournful – it holds on to the feeling of something slipping away. It’s about being respectful\, being true\, but knowing that you are losing something. Treasuring an illusion\, while kissing it goodbye.” \nMosquito Computer (2015-2017) is a custom computer case that has been modified to house multiple generations of mosquitoes over the course of an art exhibition. Inside the case is a mosquito colony\, a hard drive enclosure with a small pond inside for larvae to grow\, and another hard drive enclosure filled with tree resin that serves as both a food supply and a preservation medium for dead mosquitoes. The multi-generational family drama On Golden Pond (1981) is projected onto the case to serve as visual stimuli for the mosquitoes. Over the course of the exhibition\, the female mosquitoes are fed blood meals sourced from the artist’s veins to afford them the protein they need to make their eggs. These blood meals also allow the artist to store his genetic information temporarily in the mosquitoes’ bodies\, and permanently in the tree resin once it becomes amber. According to the narrative of Jurassic Park (1993)\, this could allow for clones of the artist to be produced in the future. \nAndrew Norman Wilson is an artist from suburban Massachusetts. After studying journalism and communications\, he worked on various activist and documentary projects while employed as a commercial video producer. In 2008\, he decided to start making art\, and since then his work has been exhibited at the Whitney Museum\, MoMA PS1\, Centre Pompidou\, the Gwangju Biennial and the Berlin Biennial. Lectures include Harvard University\, Oxford University\, Cambridge University\, UCLA\, and Cooper Union. His work has been featured in Artforum\, e-flux\, Frieze\, the New Yorker\, and Wired. \nCo-presented by Document\, Chicago. \nImage: Ode To Seekers 2012

SUMMARY:MATA PRESENTS - Still Keep Moving
DESCRIPTION:Gallery open Fri-Sun 10am – 10pm\nClosing reception Sunday 10/1 11am—6pm \nStill Keep Moving is a 3-day performance considering and examining the structures of grief that one builds for protection immediately after a loss or trauma and how those structures are torn down and rebuilt as they are processed and lived with. How in reworking the same materials the structures holding us release us.  \nUsing basic materials to create crude structures representing different stages of grief\, we aim to open a space of healing that can be as private as it is public and communal. All are welcome to come through at any point during open hours to help build and take apart our structures each day or to observe and spend time in a space meant for consideration\, healing\, growth\, and remembrance. There will be a dedicated altar space for anyone & everyone to bring mementos\, drawings\, writings\, or any symbol of a loved one lost to honor their life and memory. Sharing & conversation is encouraged\, but nothing is required.  \nThe building will finish and a reception held at 11am—6pm on Sunday. Brunch refreshments will be available.

SUMMARY:Dirty Vestiges - Simone Aughterlony & Michael Günzburger
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 17\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM\nFriday\, August 18\, 2017 @ 8.00 PM \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. NO RSVP needed. \nConcept and Performance: Simone Aughterlony & Michael Günzburger \nThis performance contains nudity\, Viewer discretion advised \nIn this dirty art-making practice Simone and Michael invite a collection of commonly understood domestic forms of dirt to confederate and co-perform on a high gloss reflective surface. With dust\, hair\, fat\, blood\, ash\, pigment and skin a temporary printing station is activated that pays close attention to qualities of materials\, their desires and orientations towards bodies and their transformation through intimacy and movement. With a knowing wink but certain irreverence towards art-historical references they stage a close-up inquiry into both the happenstance and determinism of dirt transmission. Attraction and repulsion are mutual forces that go beyond the surface and play out in this sleazy cleaning/mess making fantasy. In an intensely concentrated environment and companioned by a queer alchemy of materials\, Michael and Simone practice touch and the narratives produced by the surplus of touching. Vestige research accentuates the potentiality and futurity of indelible traces and acts as a response to the so-called ephemerality of performance. \nCreated within the project DRECK: EIN APPARAT at Ufer Studios Berlin\, a project initiated and produced by Stephanie Wenner that examined dirt and the communion of all things through a new materialist perspective. \nSimone Aughterlony is an independent artist based and supported in Zurich and Berlin\, working predominantly in dance and performance contexts. Over more than decade\, Simone she has been devising and producing choreographic works. As a performer she has worked with artists such as Meg Stuart/Damaged Goods\, Forced Entertainment and Jorge León\, Phil Hayes amongst others. In 2015 «Supernatural»\, a collaboration with artists Antonija Livingstone and Hahn Rowe premiered in American Realness while in the same year the performance project «Uni * Form»\, devised by Jorge León and Simone premiered at Zuercher Theater Spektakel. Alongside an extensive tour of these works and the «Biofiction Trilogy»\, she is currently touring with Jen Rosenblit «Everything Fits In The Room»\, a commission from HAU Hebbel am Ufer and Haus der Kulturen der Welt.  \nEngaging with alternative forms of kinship inside her process\, new constellations of family emerge as possibilities for reconfiguring a culture of togetherness that fosters both familiar and unknown quantities. Her works playfully compose with representation and its saturation\, seeping into and embracing the phenomenology of mis-recognition and the absurd. Simone approaches the performance genre as a world-building practice where she navigates the contradiction between the domination of desire alongside the agency of all elements. \nMichael Günzburger is a visual artist living in Zürich\, working with methods of drawing and printing and research on the reference to the materials of used production. Collaborations with other fields of the arts\, sciences and crafts like performer Ntando Cele\, writers Lukas Bärfuss and Raphael Urweider\, Masterprinter Thomi Wolfensberger\, hunters\, gatherers\, virologists\, genetic scientist\, etc. has always been an important part of his work. His works have been shown in galleries\, museums\, public spaces and project spaces across the world such as the Zürcher Kunsthaus\, Kunstmuseum Bern\, Galleries in Mexico D.F.\, Sao Paulo\, New York\, Paris\, Bern and Zürich in solo and group shows. They found their way into many private and public collection\, and he has received a numerous fellowships and grants. He is a research fellow at the Institute for Contemporary Art and Research (IFCAR) at the University of the Arts in Zürich (ZHdK). \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States

SUMMARY:On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense - Frank Willens and Peter Stamer
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 11\, 2017 @ 8:00 PM\nSaturday\, August 12\, 2017 @ 5:30 PM \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis.\nNO RSVP needed. \nConceived\, directed\, set and staged by Peter Stamer\nPerformed by Frank Willens\nText by Friedrich Nietzsche\nAbridged and re-translated from German into English by Peter Stamer & Frank Willens \nPosthumous fragments: In some remote corner of the universe that is poured out in countless flickering solar systems\, there once was a star on which clever animals invented knowledge. That was the most arrogant and the most untruthful minute in ‘world history’ – yet indeed only a minute. After nature had taken a few breaths\, the star froze over and the clever animals had to die.\n(Friedrich Nietzsche\, 1873) \nIn the light of infinity\, the limited time a human being spends on this planet does appear tobe deplorable\, even ridiculous. Knowing about the futility of his existence\, man tries to comprehend life by means of language which locks him into the cage of concepts though. Language\, following Nietzsche\, denies access to the actual life of matter. Searching for knowledge about the world\, about truth\, about himself\, man gets lost in the woodwork of his own thinking. To put it casually: man becomes a blockhead\, unable to see what is there. Taking away the foundation of the boards that mean the world to him: this is what it means to live. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler. He grew up in California and has lived and worked in Berlin since 2003 where he has had the privilege to work with a wide number of persons in a wide range of projects presented in a wide range of venues. His associates include Tino Sehgal\, Meg Stuart\, Falk Richter\, and Peter Stamer\, to name a few. Frank developed a project in collaboration with the Transform Festival in Leeds in 2015 and headed a residency/lab at the Kunstmuseum in Bonn in 2016. His new solo piece sixty minutes towards being here or what we can do until we do what we can do premiered in Berlin in January 2017 On Truth and Lie in an Extra-Moral Sense is his 5th collaboration with Peter Stamer. \nPeter Stamer (DE/A) is a theatre maker in the context of contemporary performing arts. In his projects\, he is interested in exploring conditions for discursive and physical empowerment within given performative\, social and narrative apparatuses. Currently\, Peter is working on a theatrical and installative adaptation of Kafka’s story In the Penal Colony (to premiere in 2017). \nPresented with support from the Getting To Know Europe program\, awarded by the Delegation of the European Union to the United States.

SUMMARY:Tino Sehgal (Untitled)(2000) - danced by Frank Willens
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, August 10th 2017\, 8:00pm \nPlease note: Seating is limited and available on a first-come\, first-served basis. NO RSVP needed. \nConcept: Tino Sehgal\nDanced by: Frank Willens \nThis presentation contains nudity\, Viewer discretion advised \nHow can a society learn from choreographers? (Untitled) (2000) depicts an image of a world where dance and choreography can inspire a society. Originally conceived for stage and danced by Tino Sehgal himself\, the solo remains in the cultural memory as a “museum of dance.” The space of this museum does not contain objects\, but movements and gestures of iconic dance styles.  \nWith the mere presence of his body (unaccompanied by music\, and without a set)\, Frank Willens allows new spaces to emerge for new readings and interpretations. What is the task of theater or museum in a society? Has the obsession for objects\, for material values reached its end? \nThe art of Tino Sehgal is immaterial; it takes shape in the moment in which the spectator encounters it. Since 2000\, he has been constructing live situations in which performers enter into contact with the visitors and spectators by way of movements\, conversations\, or song\, inviting them to influence the structure of the work. \nTino Sehgal Born in London in 1976\, Tino Sehgal studied economics and dance. In 2005\, he represented Germany at the Venice Biennale. The Guggenheim\, Tate Modern\, and dOCUMENTA (13) have also presented solo shows of his work. In 2013\, he was awarded the Golden Lion at the 55th Venice Biennale. \nFrank Willens (US/DE) is a dancer\, choreographer\, performer\, interpreter\, artist\, actor\, collaborator\, tour manager\, human\, father\, singer\, beat-boxer\, thinker\, marathon-runner\, train-traveler. He grew up in California and has lived and worked in Berlin since 2003 where he has had the privilege to work with a wide number of persons in a wide range of projects presented in a wide range of venues.

SUMMARY:Encounter #37
DESCRIPTION:Since July 2012\, a group of Los Angeles performance artists (and international guests passing through town) have met regularly to engage in a practice called Encounter\, organized by Peruvian American performance artist Mariel Carranza. Encounter is a space where we encounter each other\, ourselves\, and the space itself. We perform with and for one another within given conditions. There is no preparation\, no agenda (and generally\, no “audience”). Things unfold on their own. We agree that there will be no idle observers; everyone is active in the space. \nEncounter has been invited to perform in REDCAT’s International Festival of Live Art and Performance as part of Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA in January 2018. 6 Latin American and European artists will fly to Los Angeles\, joining 13 local artists in 8 hours of unscripted collaborative performance. For this reason\, Encounter is doing this show as a fundraiser. The film Same Difference: Equinox to Equinox\, a global performance convened by Bbeyond will be screened. \nThe public performance will be followed by a shared dinner (beginning at roughly 8pm).  \n$20 suggested or pay-what-you-can at the door\, or at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3046662. \nParticipating artists:\nMariel Carranza\nPaul Outlaw\nSebastian Hernandez\nAllison Wyper\nRebeca Hernandez\nCarol McDowell\nDouglas Green\nDoran George\nRochelle Fabb\nRossen Ventzislavov\nDorian Wood\nJohn Burtle\nSamuel White \n image: Carol McDowell\, Rossen Ventzislavov and Dorian Wood\nPhoto by Tyler Matthew Oyer

SUMMARY:Looking at Performance: Guts\, Lust and Kinks
DESCRIPTION:A screening and discussion of the work of Johanna Went and Michael Turinsky\, \nwith Doran George\, Johanna Went\, Christine Wertheim\, and Mark Wheaton. \nIn celebration of X-TRA’s summer issue\, a discussion and screening about looking at performance through the work of Johanna Went and Michael Turinsky. \nJoin us for this special program with the artist Johanna Went\, her collaborator Mark Wheaton\, and issue contributors Christine Wertheim and Doran George. \nBoth Wertheim and George take up positions of enamored spectatorship\, presenting carefully crafted responses to the exuberant performance work of their subjects (Johanna Went and Michael Turinsky\, respectively). Bodies figure prominently—sexy\, messy and alluring. \nWertheim ends : “Johanna Went is a Dionysian genius\, a Siren whose irresistible song cannot help but lure us into the temptations of ecstatic\, participatory\, and brave self-annihilation.” Went was a fixture on the 80s punk scene in LA\, performing over 200 times between 1978 and 1988. \nGeorge begins his letter to Michael Turinsky\, the Artist’s Project in this issue: “Dear Michael\, You are hot and I want to have sex with you…” This letter thus consciously opens up pleasure\, sensation\, and desire as strategies for thinking—or should I say feeling—about dance\, disability\, sexual culture\, and social power.” The letter is in reaction to a performance by Michael Turinsky\, My body\, your pleasure (2014) that George saw in Germany. \nDon’t miss this foray into 80s punk\, desire\, disability\, fake blood\, and beats. \nAbout the participants: \nDoran George PhD is a cultural historian writing on sexual culture\, avant-garde dance\, and performance. They are also a performance artist and choreographer who deconstructs socio-political identity categories\, stages work that builds micro-communities\, and cultivates radical practices of intimacy. George’s artwork and scholarship is represented in art books\, Oxford University Press anthologies\, and journals. George currently lectures in Disability Studies and LGBTQ Studies at University of California\, Los Angeles\, and teaches erotic work in both art and sex-positive contexts. \nJohanna Went is an American performance artist who primarily works in the Los Angeles area. She started her career in the late 1970s as musician in the punk scene. Music is still an important element of her shows. She has often worked with musician Mark Wheaton\, whose fast\, rhythmic music beats provide the background noise in several of her performances. Further predominant elements of Went’s shows are the use of elaborate costumes\, which Went herself creates from various found objects\, and the use of artificial blood. The latter played an especially important role in her early work. Went’s performances are not strictly text-based. She typically works based on a sketch that determines the rough sequence of actions\, but leaves much room for improvisation. Went rarely uses language in her shows as means of communication. She rather sings\, screams\, whines and murmurs\, thus rendering large parts of the spoken words incomprehensible. (From wikipedia) \nChristine Wertheim’s books include three poetic suites\, the book of ME\, mUtter-bAbel\, and +|’me’S-pace; three edited literary anthologies\, Feminaissance\, The n/Oulipean Analects\, and Séance\, the last two with Matias Viegener; and Crochet Coral Reef\, with Margaret Wertheim\, about their decade-long art-science-feminist-community project. She has received grants from the Annenberg and Orphiflamme Foundations\, and teaches at the California Institute of the Arts. \nMark Wheaton has been composing music since he began collaborating with performance artist Johanna Went in the early 1980’s. In addition to composing for performance art projects\, Mark spends most of his time as the recording engineer for the studio Catasonic located in Echo Park\, California. \nPresented by X-TRA \nimage: Johanna Went performing at the Hong Kong Café\, Los Angeles\, 1979.

SUMMARY:Samuel R. Delany Book Club: Session I
DESCRIPTION:Would you like to read and discuss the work of polymathic and prolific genius Samuel R. Delany in an informal book club setting? This summer Human Resources Los Angeles [HRLA] is hosting up a free book club. Our first meeting will be at Pho 87 in Chinatown [1019 N Broadway\, LA CA 90012]\, next door to HRLA gallery.  \nAnyone interested in reading about race\, speculation\, sex\, post-structuralism\, memoir\, fantasy\, S&M\, feminism\, writing\, queerness\, class\, slave rebellion\, science fiction\, myth\, and/or fabulation is welcome to join. \nOur first meeting we will discuss an excerpt from Delany’s book Times Square Red\, Times Square Blue (1999)\, the book that launched the Sexual Cultures book series from NYU press (founding editors José Esteban Muñoz and Ann Pellegrini). You can download the PDF here. The book discusses the effects of gentrification on the queer interzones of cruising in Manhattan.  \nRead the writer’s preface\, 1-19\, 57-88\, and 111-119. Come with thoughts and questions for each other — any and all questions welcome.  \nYes\, this is last minute — but we thought it’d be extra special to kick this project off during the exhibition of Tyler Matthew Oyer’s installation Conquest of the University or When Queens Collide. Tyler’s project celebrates Charles Ludlum’s Ludlum’s Ridiculous Theatrical Company — this kind of experimental work is part of Delany’s universe!  \nExtra credit reading: Junot Diaz interview with Samuel Delany in the Boston Review\, “Radicalism Begins in the Body.”

SUMMARY:Tyler Matthew Oyer - Conquest of the Universe or When Queens Collide
DESCRIPTION:opening reception July 15\, 6-10PM\ngallery hours Wednesday – Sunday\, 12-6PM \nConquest of the Universe or When Queens Collide is the premiere feature film by Los Angeles-based artist Tyler Matthew Oyer. Originally a stage production by Charles Ludlam’s Ridiculous Theatrical Company from 1967\, Conquest marks the first adaptation of Ludlam’s plays into moving image. \nThe narrative\, which is based off Christopher Marlowe’s play Tamburlaine the Great\, is interwoven with lines of Shakespeare\, Bible verses\, quotations from other plays such as Oscar Wilde’s Salome\, the speeches of dictators\, and help wanted ads. The story depicts homoerotics\, incestuous lust\, nonsensical domination and satirical downfall of a corrupt\, confused Trump-like imperialist “President of Earth”. \nThe film features an eclectic cast of west coast performers including Justin Streichman as Tamberlaine\, Gracie DeVito as Alice\, Harry Dodge as Gravedigger\, Julie Tolentino as the Witch of Ensor\, EJ Hill as Bajazeth\, Young Joon Kwak as Natolia\, and Lex Brown as Venus\, alongside Kelly Cline\, Johanna Breiding\, Audra Wist\, Marc Bendavid\, Anna Rose Hopkins\, Mireya Lucio\, Sean Grattan\, Fred Schmidt-Arenales\, Audrey Wollen\, and Thibault Lac\, with full score by Daniel Eaton. \nPresented as a sculptural installation\, the movie will begin every hour\, on the hour. \nOn the occasion of this exhibition a Conquest of the Universe reader\, with essay by Kelly Aliano\, will be available. \nCalled an “interdisciplinary gospel immortalist” by Kembra Pfahler of the Voluptuous Horror of Karen Black\, Tyler Matthew Oyer (b. 1987) is an artist\, writer\, organizer\, and educator based in Los Angeles. He has performed at MoMA PS1\, REDCAT\, dOCUMENTA (13)\, Hammer Museum\, Kunstnernes Hus Oslo\, Art Basel Miami Beach\, Bergen Kunstall\, Rogaland Kunstsenter\, The Royal Vauxhall Tavern\, High Desert Test Sites\, Highways Performance Space\, and the Orange County Museum of Art. He has written works of performance including GONE FOR GOLD\, Shimmy Shake Earthquake\, and 100 Years of Noise: Beyoncé is ready to receive you now. Oyer is the founder of tir journal\, an online platform for queer\, feminist\, and underrepresented voices. He received an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts in 2012. His debut album\, RELEASE\, is available on Practical Records. \nCharles Ludlam (1943-1987) founded the Ridiculous Theatrical Company in 1967. He wrote and produced 29 plays\, won 6 Obie Awards and the Rosamund Gilder Award for distinguished achievement in the theater in 1986. His most popular play is The Mystery of Irma Vep\, in which two actors manage\, through a variety of quick-change techniques\, to play seven roles in a send-up of gothic horror novels. In 2009\, Ludlam was inducted posthumously into the American Theater Hall of Fame. \n          \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Prison In Twelve Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Screening + Pop Up Panel presented by critical resistance: \nMore people are imprisoned in the United States at this moment than in any other time or place in history\, yet the prison itself has never felt further away or more out of sight. The Prison in Twelve Landscapes is a film about the prison in which we never see a penitentiary. Instead\, the film unfolds as a cinematic journey through a series of landscapes across the USA where prisons affect lives\, from a California mountainside where female prisoners fight raging wildfires\, to a Bronx warehouse full of goods destined for the state correctional system\, to an Appalachian coal town betting its future on the promise of prison jobs.  \nCritical Resistance Los Angeles is hosting a screening of the film followed by a pop-up panel of local organizers who are fighting for a Los Angeles free of policing\, imprisonment and displacement: Pete White (Los Angeles Community Action Network)\, Laura Pulido (Chicana Studies Author and Professor)\, a member of Defend Boyle Heights\, Amber-Rose Howard (Californians United for a Responsible Budget)\, Xela de la X (Cihuatl CE of Ovarian Psycos Bicycle Brigade; Founders of autonomous community organizing space in BH – La Conxa and active members of the coalition DBH) \n$5 – $15 suggested donation\nNo one will be turned away for lack of funds \nPlease RSVP to crla@criticalresistance.org

SUMMARY:Dialectics of Isolation
DESCRIPTION:Dialectics of Isolation \nCrystal Sepúlveda\nAngie Jennings\nRebeca Hernandez\nArtemisa Clark \nIn 1980\, Ana Mendieta curated Dialectics of Isolation: An Exhibition of Third World Women Artists of the United States at New York’s A.I.R. Gallery. The catalogue’s introduction describes the show as pointing “not necessarily to the injustice or incapacity of a society that has not been willing to include us\, but more towards a personal will to continue being ‘other.’” Dancers Rebeca Hernandez and Crystal Sepúlveda and performance artists Angie Jennings and Artemisa Clark will perform works that take as their starting point this “personal will to continue being ‘other\,’” via themes found in Mendieta’s work more generally – land\, ritual\, national (un)belonging. \nThis night was organized by Artemisa Clark and is part of ¡Mendieta Vive!\, an initiative facilitating Ana Mendieta-related events in and around Los Angeles. \nImage: Crystal Sepúlveda\, strands\, film still from the river knows

SUMMARY:White and Wrong
DESCRIPTION:Over the past few years\, I’ve written short essays in response to artworks produced by white artists\, works exhibited and distributed through major art-world projects (the LA Art Book Fair\, the Whitney Biennial\, and the Walker’s sculpture garden). Each of these artworks were meant\, by the artists\, to be\, in some way\, “about racism.” Here\, I’ll share this writing with an eye towards developing it into something more formal — perhaps teachable. The question — the hesitation — for me is: how to stage a conversation like this without centering discussion of anti-racist art practices on the work of white artists — and\, too\, how to confront racism in work about racism.  \nFraming this conversation with E.J. Hill’s work should support a different kind of conversation — one which takes shape in the space opened up by the act of calling out — calling out\, dialing in — pushing through — imagining art\, embodiment and abstraction so differently that\, perhaps\, what we have been taught to think of as art falls apart — collapses into a wood pile. \n— Jennifer Doyle

SUMMARY:Steve Roden\, Yann Novak + Special Guest
DESCRIPTION:VOLUME partners with LINE and Dragon’s Eye Recordings to celebrate the release of Steve Roden’s new double LP ‘small songs for kack jirby’. The evening will feature sound performances by Steve Roden\, Yann Novak and a very special international guest. The artists will perform alongside EJ Hill’s installation ‘A Subsequent Offering’. \nYann Novak is an artist\, composer\, and curator based in Los Angeles. His work is guided by his interests in perception\, context\, movement\, and the felt presence of direct experience. Through the use of sound and light\, Novak explores how these intangible materials can act as catalysts to focus our awareness on our present location in space and time. Novak’s diverse body of works – audiovisual installations\, performances\, architectural interventions\, sound diffusions\, recording\, and prints – ask participants to reclaim the present moment as a political act. \nNovak’s work has been experienced through exhibitions and performance at the Armory Center for the Arts\, Pasadena; The Broad\, Los Angeles; California Museum of Photography\, Riverside; Commonwealth & Council\, Los Angeles; de Young Museum\, San Francisco; Getty Villa\, Pacific Palisades; Hammer Museum\, Los Angeles; The Henry Art Gallery\, Seattle; Human Resources\, Los Angeles; Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, Los Angeles; Mutek Festival\, Montreal; Norton Simon Museum\, Pasadena; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, San Francisco; Soundfjord\, London; Susanne Vielmetter LA Projects\, Los Angeles; Tanya Bonakdar Gallery\, New York; and The Stone\, New York\, among others. His recorded sound works have been published by Crónica\, Porto; Dronarivm\, Moscow; Farmacia901\, Berlin; Hibernate\, Leeds; Home Normal\, London; LINE Imprint\, Los Angeles; Tigerbeat6\, Los Angeles; and Touch\, London\, among others. \nSteve Roden is a visual and sound artist from Los Angeles\, living in Pasadena. His work includes painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, film/video\, sound installation\, text and performance. \nRoden’s working process uses various forms of specific notation (words\, musical scores\, maps\, etc.) and translates them through self invented systems into scores\, which then influence the process of painting\, drawing\, sculpture\, and composition. These scores\, rigid in terms of their parameters and rules\, are also full of holes for intuitive decisions\, failures and left turns. The inspirational source material becomes a kind of formal skeleton that the abstract finished works are built upon. \nIn the visual works\, translations of information such as text and maps\, become rules and systems for generating visual actions such as color choices\, number of elements\, amounts of time and form building. \nIn the sound works\, singular source materials such as objects\, architectural spaces\, and field recordings\, are abstracted through humble electronic processes to create new audio spaces\, or possible landscapes. The sound works present themselves with an aesthetic Roden has described as lower case – sound concerned with subtlety and the quiet activity of listening. \nRoden has been exhibiting his visual and sound works since the mid 1980’s\, and has had numerous solo and group exhibitions internationally\, including: Mercosur Biennial Porto Alegre Brazil\, Centre Georges Pompidou Paris\, San Diego Museum of Contemporary Art\, UCLA Hammer Museum Los Angeles\, Museum of Contemporary Art EMST Athens Greece\, Singuhr-Horgalerie in Parochial Berlin\, Center for Book Arts New York\, The Kitchen New York\, Pomona College Museum of Art\, La Casa Encendida Madrid\, Susanne Vielmetter LA and Berlin Projects\, Studio la Citta Verona Italy\, and others. In 2010\, curator Howard Fox organized the exhibition “steve roden / in between: a 20 year survey”\, which opened at the Armory Center for the Arts in Pasadena\, and was accompanied by a full color catalog. \nRoden has performed his soundworks at various arts spaces and experimental music festivals worldwide including: Serpentine Gallery London\, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art\, Walker Art Center\, Minneapolis\, DCA Dundee Scotland\, Redcat Los Angeles\, Crawford Gallery Cork Ireland\, as well as performance tours of Brazil and Japan. Recent performances include John Cage’s Cartridge Music with composer Mark Trayle at the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena\, and a tribute to Rolf Julius at the Hamburger Banhof Berlin. Since 1993\, Roden has released numerous CDs under his own name as well as under the moniker “in be tween noise” on various record labels internationally.
