By probing the mechanisms of pop\, PRICE’s musical stories evoke instability\, fear\, and romantic disillusion. Where Do You Wanna Go Today reinvents itself from clubs to art galleries\, using these diverse contexts to affirm the frustration and solitude of a generation he considers to bedown-and-out. At a time when storytelling has taken over the collective psyche\, the artist’s sincere and ambiguous presence has testimonial value. \nThe performance Where Do You Wanna Go Today (Variations) works with a Pop Musical Audiobook (2017). The album is comprised of different acts\, songs and stories but is treated as a single work rather than a collection of individual pop hits of perfect length\, structure or quality\, and adopts a playful approach to comment on the ways music is perceived today. The title hints to the music’s composition in relation to the acts’ structure\, length\, melodies\, words and themes of geography\, texture and\, most importantly\, the contemporary disorientation of identities. \nBy restructuring pop songs and zapping through different architectural worlds\, this album evokes feelings of dislocation\, instability\, fear and the struggles involved in love and relationships. It advances a queer anonymity freed from any fixed cultural identity in an age of accelerating media exposure fixated on fame. \nWhere Do You Wanna Go Today (Variations) is performed by the voice and body of PRICE\, who in this work welcomes the audience to experience something ‘in between’ rather than accepting pre-labeled differences. It’s a piece that purposefully lacks direction\, triggering nostalgic moods that remind us how to start all over again. \nPerforming Artist Mathias Ringgenberg (aka PRICE\, * 1986 in Rio de Janeiro\, lives and works in Zürich) In his current performative works called\, Where Do You Wanna Go Today (Variations)\, Can’t say much about anything that’s new and the associated debut album Greatest Hits or his video performances A: I am impressed B: Well – I am in love\, Home is a place we all have to find or You don’t touch it\, it touches you\, Mathias Ringgenberg\, developed the fictional character PRICE. \n \nConcept & Performed  PRICE (Mathias Ringgenberg) \nDramaturgy & Character Coach Mira Kandathil \nMovement Research Ivan Blagajcevic \nVoice Coach Katarzyna Sitarz \nMusic PRICE \nMusic Producer Alban Schelbert\, Modulaw \nCostume Design BARRAGÁN \nGraphic Design Bart de Baets \nPhotography Senta Simond \nCo-Production Arsenic – Contemporary Performing Arts Center\, Lausanne\, STUK – House for Dance\, Image & Sound\, Leuven \nSpecial thanks to Tanzhaus Zürich\, Workspace Brussels\, Montevideo Marseille\, Vitlycke – Centre for Performing Arts and Mario Winkler Company GmbH \nThis project is supported by Pro Helvetia\, Swiss Cultural Foundation\, the City of Zurich\, Canton of Zurich\, Ernst Göhner Foundation \nhttp://theworkofprice.tumblr.com/\nhttps://soundcloud.com/price-music/sets/price-where-do-you-wanna-go-today URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/price-where-do-you-wanna-go-today/ LOCATION:Human Resources LA\, 410 Cottage Home\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012 CATEGORIES:one-time event at HR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/27024264_1912861192074798_9197373881694483047_o.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180223T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180223T230000 DTSTAMP:20180124T020543Z CREATED:20180119T011123Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180124T020543Z UID:3197-1519414200-1519426800@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Touch Presents... DESCRIPTION:The release of Yann Novak’s new album The Future is a Forward Escape into the Past\, Touch presents an evening of performances curated by Mike Harding and Novak. The night will consist of short pieces by a wide range of artists with connections to either Touch or Novak. \nFebruary 23\, 2018 \nDoors 7:30pm / Show 8:00pm \nArtists: \nJasmin Blasco \nRobert Crouch \nGarek Druss \nJake Muir \nYann Novak \nZachary Paul \nGeneva Skeen \nByron Westbrook \nBios: \nJasmin Blasco (b.1981) is a multi-disciplinary artist who approaches time-based media as the site where sound\, image\, and language conspire to generate fictions. Through a process of research and abstraction\, his practice stages the individual in problematic narratives. He lives and works in Los Angeles. \nBlasco holds a BFA in Music Technology from the California Institute of the Arts. He is a graduate of the Media Design Practices program at Art Center College of Design(MFA). His current research project examines the project of space exploration in its symbolic and cultural dimensions. The resulting works are composed of fictional journal entries authored by a theoretical entity: The First Human Born In Space. \n  \nWith Andrew Friend and Sitraka Rakotoniaina\, he is currently developing Very Very Far Away. Based on a workshop series of the same name\, VVFA is a Podcast documenting fictional encounters with the new denizens of space colonization. With the collaborative research platform The NOISE INDEX\, Blasco explores the topicality of informational hunger within a framework that runs counter to expected display strategies.The works Convergence and Horizon have been exhibited in Paris and New York at Cutlog\, through Fragmental Museum. He also hosts Speak My Language a monthly show of curated music on the internet radio collective Dublab. Blasco is a mentee in the 2017 Touch Mentorship Programme. \nhttp://jasminblasco.com \nRobert Crouch is an artist and curator whose work encompasses sound\, performance\, and technology. As an artist\, he locates his work with the intersection of post-phenomenological listening practices\, conceptual sound art\, and contemporary electronic music. At its core\, his work can be understood as a conversation between tonality\, context\, history and subjectivities. Similarly\, Crouch’s curatorial work focuses on the overlapping disciplines of sound\, technology\, movement\, and performance. \nIn 2014 he organized the North American premiere of Sphæræ\, a large-scale inflatable performance space and public artwork by Dutch artist Cocky Eek. In 2017 he co-curated Juan Downey: Radiant Nature\, a survey of early interactive and performance work of the late Chilean artist as part of the Getty initiative\, Pacific Standard Time: LA/LA. \nCrouch is the former Associate Director/Curator at LACE\, where he curated solo exhibitions with artists Karen Lofgren\, Gina Osterloh\, Steve Roden\, Sean Sullivan\, and Margo Victor\, and performances with artists including William Basinski\, Celer\, Lawrence English\, Dominick Fernow\, and Yann Marussich. He is also the founding partner of VOLUME\, a curatorial project that functions as a catalyst for interdisciplinary new media work through exhibitions\, performances\, events\, lectures\, and publications\, and has worked with a wide range of artists including William Basinski\, Nate Boyce\, Frank Bretschneider\, Richard Chartier\, Heather Cassils\, Celer\, Loren Chasse\, William Fowler Collins\, Tim Hecker\, Isis\, France Jobin\, Kadet Kuhne\, Lucky Dragons\, Mamiffer\, Carsten Nicolai\, Yann Novak\, taisha paggett\, Steve Roden\, Terre Thaemlitz\, Julie Tolentino\, and Christopher Willits. \nCrouch is currently the Executive and Artistic Director for Fulcrum Arts and the Artistic Director for the AxS Festival. \nhttp://www.robertcrouch.com \nGarek Druss is a Los Angeles based sound and visual artist who creates work that explores the balance between the physical being and the incorporeal or non-being.  His aural works create active and engaged listening environments that allow for heightened states of self-reflection and phenomenological awareness. His work utilizes watercolor drawings\, video\, and vibrant soundscapes to create temporary ambient interactions that examine the human condition. Druss’ interest in creating work that develops the public’s sonic palette has lead him to several international residencies\, multiple museum performances in the U.S. and Europe\, album and sound art releases in conjunction with art exhibitions\, installations\, and live performances. He has collaborated in musical\, dance\, and performance-based projects\, including the atmospheric electronic group\, A Story of Rats. He also worked with the internationally recognized performance theater ensemble\, Saint Genet.  Exhibition and performance locations include the Seattle Art Museum\, the University of Washington’s Henry Art Gallery\, the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art\, Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, and Kunsthalle\, Krems Austria. He has received support from the New Foundation Seattle and 4Culture. His visual art is a part of several Seattle public collections. \nhttp://garekdruss.com \nJake Muir is a sound designer and artist currently residing in Seattle\, Washington. Armed with a keen ear for textural environments and haunting aural landscapes\, Muir creates ghostly soundscapes from field recordings\, reinterpreted vinyl loops\, and radio segments. This source material is processed digitally to further place these found sounds into a new context. \nMuir released his debut album\, Muara\, under the moniker\, Monadh\, on Further Records in 2016. Muara drew from experiences and trips around the Pacific Northwest\, evoking the deep ties to location and mood in Muir’s approach to microscopic manipulation in the sound composition process. \nhttps://www.jakemuir.org \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. \nhttp://www.yannnovak.com/ \nZachary Paul (b. 1995) is a classically trained violinist and composer based in Los Angeles. Interested in perception\, the transportive nature of long durations\, and trance states\, his work explores the contrast between stasis and movement and questions the possibility of depicting both synchronously. In live performance\, he builds lush soundscapes via improvisation\, representing his immediate experience & the space being performed in. His work draws from a long lineage of artists exploring sustained tones within organic performance\, including Tony Conrad\, Pauline Oliveros\, and La Monte Young. Under the moniker Poppy Nogood\, Zachary has released two albums through European record label Preserved Sound. \nhttps://soundcloud.com/poppynogood \n  \nGeneva Skeen is an interdisciplinary artist working in Los Angeles. Influenced heavily by écriture féminine\, alchemical metaphors\, and a mix of musical traditions ranging from holy mysticism to industrial\, Skeen composes with field recordings\, digital presets\, mixed voice and instrumentation\, and both found and filmed video. Her recordings and performances focus on the contrast between facing finite resources of our physical landscapes and their infinite digital representations. Her solo and collaborative works have been presented at REDCAT\, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art\, on the rooftop of The Standard Hotel in downtown Los Angeles\, and on the façade of the Armory building in Long Beach\, California\, amongst others. Her debut\, Dark Speech\, was released with Dragon’s Eye Recordings in 2016. She is a member of VOLUME\, a curatorial collective focused on sound-based practices. \nhttps://soundcloud.com/geneeeeves \nByron Westbrook is an artist and musician based in Brooklyn\, NY. He has been performing and showing experimental sound work internationally since 2008. His work focuses on dynamics of perception using sound\, lighting and video to interact with architecture and landscape\, often pursuing routes that involve social engagement.

After touring the world with original stage and guerrilla performance\, Kristina realized her artful spectacles could no longer compete with the shock of real life. Therefore\, Kristina has decided to move her performances onto the public stage and run for political office before 2030 or when the country implodes (whichever comes first). But first she needs a public think tank\, a slogan\, and people to bribe her. This night will be an experiment in crafting political narrative. It’s a combination of learning about Kristina’s 18 year history of performance work\, and also a group honing a vision of her campaign that will leave voters swooning. **This is her first public event\, so expect bumps. \nPresented by at land’s edge URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/meet-the-candidate-kristina-wong-for-something-or-other/ CATEGORIES:one-time event at HR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2018/02/27459753_1285513744914024_970889161877301370_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180218T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20180218T220000 DTSTAMP:20180212T183255Z CREATED:20180205T230205Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180212T183255Z UID:3232-1518984000-1518991200@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Isaura Presents: DESCRIPTION:Isaura String Quartet presents an evening of new music (plus a couple premieres!) at Human Resources.

As a performer\, he plays in chamber ensembles\, orchestras\, recording studios\, and as a soloist. His music has been commissioned by the Library Foundation of Los Angeles\, Loadbang\, the Ekmeles Vocal Ensemble\, and numerous soloists. As a performer-composer\, Worthington has released two albums to critical acclaim on Populist Records. The most recent\, Prism\, features his own music for solo bass with electronics and bass ensemble and was named one of The New Yorker’s top ten classical albums of 2015 by Alex Ross. In 2017\, Worthington became the principal bass of the Redlands Symphony and the Artist Teacher of Bass at the University of Redlands. www.scottworthington.com \nUlrich Krieger \nUlrich Krieger is an internationally recognized German composer and saxophonist living in Southern California. He is known for his originality and innovation in composed and free improvised contemporary music. As a celebrated composer of chamber and electronic music\, Krieger’s compositions are widely performed by ensembles in Europe and the USA. He works in variety of contexts; from new and experimental music to free improvisation\, electronic music\, reductionsim\, noise\, ambient\, rock and metal. \nHe has been active in pushing the boundaries of saxophone playing in general and the function of the saxophone in rock and noise in particular\, collaborating with Lou Reed (Metal Machine Trio\, Lou Reed Band)\, Lee Ranaldo (Text of Light)\, Faust\, and Merzbow\, in addition to leading his own death-doom-noise-metal band Blood Oath. \nIn his distinct style of amplified saxophone playing\, Krieger processes refined acoustic and quasi-electronic sounds by amplifying his instrument in various ways. He gets down to the grains of the sounds\, changing their identities and structures from within. No saxophone player has ever dared to explore these uncharted outer realms of woodwind expression. \nOutside Krieger’s solo practice\, he has performed extensively with his groups Metal Machine Trio and Text of Light. He has collaborated and performed with Lou Reed\, Faust\, Merzbow\, Thomas Köner\, Carl Stone\, John Zorn\, Lee Ranaldo\, Christian Marclay\, Laurie Anderson\, LaMonte Young\, Phill Niblock\, Radu Malfatti\, Michael Pisaro\, Berlin Philharmonics\, Ensemble Modern\, PARTCH Ensemble\, and many more. As a saxophonist he has performed in Europe\, the Americas\, Asia and Australia. Krieger studied classical/contemporary saxophone\, composition\, electronic music\, and musicology in Berlin and New York. He is professor for composition\, Experimental Sound Practices\, and rock music at CalArts\, where his special field of interest is the cross-pollination of new art music and avant-garde rock. \nKrieger’s recent focus lies on the fringes of contemporary rock culture\, in the areas of limbo where noise\, metal\, silence\, and experimental chamber music meet. Not accepting stylistic categories\, Krieger’s practice operates in the margins of 21st century genres while resisting the problematic trappings of appropriation. His compositional approaches include micro-sounds\, microtones\, reductionism\, ‘instrumental electronics’ (instrumental music evoking the soundworld of electronics)\, drone\, and noise; forms that often demand elaborate and nuanced amplification. www.ulrich-krieger.com \n\nJoin us  for drinks & music!

Valence (2016)\, written for cellist Charles Curtis\, isolates and reharmonizes the natural overtones of a single string\, destabilizing and fusing tone and timbre through a delicate alchemy. Witness (2017)\, written for bassoonist Dafne Vicente-Sandoval\, draws out the relationship between an array of scales and tetrachords (four-note segments of scales) found traditionally in Greek\, Persian\, and Arabic musics\, in combination with hybrid and invented scales\, through repetition\, variation\, and improvisation. Mutable Signs\, Wada’s performance for keyboard\, voice\, and sirens with guest musician Julia Holter\, focuses on the outer edges of historical\, non-equal temperaments\, eliciting a more distant\, uneven sense of tonality. \n \nTashi Wada is a Los Angeles-based composer and performer whose works explore harmonic overtones\, resonance\, and dissonance through precise tuning and a gradual change in pitch. Grounded in a belief that “music should be as direct as possible\,” his compositions use apparently simple structures to generate rich and unanticipated perceptual effects. Working in relation to American experimental music\, microtonal music\, and so-called drone music\, Wada’s practice is also informed by interdisciplinary performance and Fluxus-affiliated artists. He studied composition at CalArts with James Tenney and for many years has performed alongside his father\, composer Yoshi Wada. \n \nAcknowledged internationally as a performer of new and experimental music\, cellist Charles Curtis has been associated with minimalist pioneer La Monte Young since 1987\, their intimate working relationship having yielded retroactive recalibrations of pieces like Young’s 1958 Trio for Strings. Curtis has created a new body of work for solo cello through additional close collaborations with composers Alvin Lucier\, Éliane Radigue\, Christian Wolff\, Alison Knowles and Tashi Wada. Rarely-heard works of Terry Jennings\, Morton Feldman and Richard Maxfield have also been signposts in a performing life that extends to membership in experimental rock band King Missile\, collaborations with Bongwater and Borbetomagus\, and studio appearances with the likes of Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter. Straddling the boundaries between art rock\, sound art\, and minimalist composition with his own Charles Curtis Trio\, for Curtis the heterogeneity of his practice returns to the same simple values\, the same concerns for precision and specificity of expression and craftsmanship\, all in the service of a very fundamental human expression. Trained at Juilliard\, Curtis was First Solo Cellist of the NDR Symphony Orchestra in Hamburg before becoming Professor of Music at the University of California\, San Diego in 2000. \n \nJulia Holter is a composer\, performer\, and recording artist based in Los Angeles. Her interest in the mysteries of the sonic atmosphere has compelled her to record in various settings–in her home\, outside with a field recorder\, and in professional studios—as well as to perform live\, often with a focus on the voice. She has studied music composition at Cal Arts and University of Michigan and has performed at various venues and festivals around the world. She frequently collaborates in group projects as well\, with artist and musician friends Rick Bahto\, Ramona Gonzalez\, Tashi Wada\, Yelena Zhelezov\, Laurel Halo\, Mark So\, Cat Lamb\, Laura Steenberge\, and more. \n \nDafne Vicente-Sandoval is a bassoon player\, who explores sound through improvisation\, contemporary music performance and sound installations. Her instrumental approach is centered on the fragility of sound and its emergence within a given space\, testing the threshold between instability and control. Dafne currently lives in Paris. She favours long term collaborations within which her work keeps an integrity while holding a dialogue with that of others (current collaborations with Jakob Ullmann\, Éliane Radigue\, Klaus Lang\, Peter Ablinger). Her work has been shown in contemporary music festivals (Huddersfield Contemporary Music Festival\, England; Musikprotokoll\, Graz; Blurred Edges\, Hamburg; El Nicho\, Mexico; Tectonics\, Glasgow)\, as well as in improvised music (Konfrontationen\, Austria; No Idea\, Texas) and sound art (Tsonami\, Chile) festivals.

In the course of this reshaping\, we hold an exhibition that serves to model dynamic notions of connection\, difference\, and community\, and to reflect the conscious self-creating of a group process. \nInspired by notions of empathy and intersubjectivity in the Netflix original series (now cancelled) Sense8\, a cluster was created by Olga Koumoundouros: John Booortle\, von curtis\, Alexander Kroll\, Francesca Lalanne\, Kristy Lovich\, Ofelia Marquez\, and Jennifer Moon. Brought together to be part of this material and psychic experiment\, this group of artists use a diverse set of strategies to understand people\, to build and express empathy. Because of this\, the structure\, and the events we organize throughout the exhibition\, tend towards care and support systems: setting up the conditions to be making work together\, to add onto\, and to grow into.  \nSchedule of Events\, in process: \n  \nSUN 2/11 \n10am — 2pm\nCO/WORK/PLAY with HEY BABY/a feminist parenting group\nHEY BABY / a feminist parenting group invites you to explore the assertion that culture work is a form of care and care is a form of culture work.

Her work playfully examines the embodiment of personas in order to inhabit familiar and foreign\, human and non-human characters\, performing an investigative relationship with them. Once conjured\, the persona’s fit may be surprising: like a deja vu glove\, a seamless transition; or\, bulkily\, somewhere on the spectrum toward needs alteration. In videos and live performances\, the audience bears witness to acts of transformation and embodiment; in interactive works\, the user is granted agency to participate in transformative manipulations. \nAmanda-Faye Jimenez is a Blaxican queer fat femme dyke writer and performer. She has performed at SORORITY at The Hammer Museum\, the Radar Productions Queer Readings Series\, and the McDonald’s in Silverlake next to her favorite gay bar. When she isn’t spilling her guts onstage\, she can be found creating semi-relatable social media content @failureprincess and letting her dogs kiss her on the mouth\, even though everyone says that’s some white people shit. \nAbigail Levine is a New York-based choreographer and performer. Her works are rooted in dance and draw from visual and performance art. Corey Fogel is a drummer and artist whose practice is based in momentary encounters often involving the intersection of sounds\, objects\, textiles\, foods. The two artists perform together for the first time on January 12 \nPasadena House Wives met at a cocktail and craft party held every third Sunday of the month at their country club. They bonded over mutual frustrations with absent husbands and annoying children\, their abilities to drink more cocktails then beads on a necklace\, and hot secretive affairs with their children’s college friends. They started playing music together because both their therapists suggested alternative modes of mental and physical release as a way to maintain a healthy outlook on life.

Meeting in circles around the world\, we create rituals dedicated to storytelling\, consciousness-raising\, empathetic listening\, and collective healing. \n2017 shifted the narrative on sexual violence. As we enter 2018\, join artists\, healers\, performers\, and activists in holding a space where survivors can speak for themselves and commit to the mutual journey of healing. \n* Bring a flower or offering for the ceremony. Each attendee will be given a healing charm to take home with them. * \nWomen who speak about harassment and assault are often shamed\, disbelieved\, or dismissed. As awareness about violence against women increases through campaigns such as #MeToo\, it is time for those who have been silenced to be heard. Heal Her uses the ancient concept of the women’s circle as a platform for participants to share survival stories\, coping strategies\, and experiences related to gender-based violence and trauma. Known as talking circles\, healing circles\, or moon circles\, the ritual of meeting in circles is rooted in indigenous practices that many communities still engage in today. By coming together through storytelling\, music\, dance\, and ritual\, circles promote group cohesion\, facilitate interpersonal communication\, and provide spiritual guidance. \nHeal Her launches in 2018 with events in Los Angeles\, New York\, Berlin\, Boston\, San Francisco\, London\, Paris\, Baltimore\, and Utrecht. To bring Heal Her to your community\, email healherproject@gmail.com. Collected stories and contributions will be turned into an interactive installation and website. #HealHer is a collaboration between Lena Chen and Annique Delphine\, organizers\, community groups\, activists\, and survivors worldwide. \nThe project has been made possible with funding from DAZA Filmes\, a women-led production company founded in 2010 by Leandra Leal\, Carol Benjamin\, and Rita Toledo in Brazil. Their feature-length documentary As Mil Mulheres / A Thousand Women will show the behind-the-scenes development of Heal Her. \n(Cover image by Annique Delphine) \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n\ninstallation images courtesy of the artist URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/heal-her/ CATEGORIES:one-time event at HR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/174.DSC00625-galaxy-small.jpeg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171224T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20171224T230000 DTSTAMP:20181026T194045Z CREATED:20171212T205010Z LAST-MODIFIED:20181026T194045Z UID:3067-1514142000-1514156400@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:NO Earthlings Allowed DESCRIPTION:THIS IS AN ART EXTRAVAGANZA!!\nSNATCHPOWER is celebrating the release of two projects: \n“The Brightest Oddest Strangest Star U Ever Did Saw Up Close And Afar From Planet Earth To Mars And Beyond!” is the debut album by The Uhuruverse\, produced by NVSBL GVNG\, which features “TWILIGHT ZONE” featuring Jupiter Black\, “BAFWB”\, “OBEY”\, AND MANY MANY MORE! \n“Unthinkable Acts” is the latest short story collection by SondriaWRITES\, it features “FIGHT IN HEELS”\, the story behind the motion picture FIGHT in HEELS\, and four brand new\, unreleased stories! \nART INSTALLATIONS BY:\nMissinglewood\nGLAMCHOP \nPERFORMANCES BY:\nTolliver\nNVSBL GVNG\nSHAMS THE FIRE GODDESS \nPHOTOBOOTH BY:\nOmniklix \n-CASH BAR\n-42O BAR BY BLACK CHERRY \nWe will be performing!\nWe will be reading!\nWe will be screening our film!\nWe will be celebrating a helluva an art year!\nWe’re very proud of our work and looking forward to closing out 2017 strong and getting started on the NEW-NEW.\nSNAAAAAAAAATCH!!!!

In 1967 she staged a drag pageant that was documented by director Frank Simon. We will screen the resulting feature\, The Queen – which is the first feature-length documentary dedicated to the art of drag – in honor of Sabrina\, our reigning queen. \nThe Queen offers one of the earliest cinematic documentations of a drag ball. Depicting the 1967 Miss All-America Camp Beauty Contest for female impersonators held at Town Hall in New York and organized by “mistress of ceremonies” Flawless Sabrina\, the film also features Crystal LaBeija\, who would gain greater fame years later for her appearance in Paris Is Burning. The contestants get settled in their hotel rooms\, gossip\, share beauty secrets\, and discuss their backgrounds. Topics of discussion include gay life\, sex change operations\, problems with the draft\, and “husbands” in the service.

Burns: A Smeary Spot DESCRIPTION:Opening Reception November 28\, 6-10pm\nOn view November 28 – December 17\nGallery Hours Wednesday – Sunday\, 12-6pm\n  \nVideo installation curated by Clara López Menéndez \n…it was ambiguous\, two-faced. What was inside it and what was outside it depended upon which side of it you were on. \n—Ursula K. Le Guin\, The Dispossessed \nFrom November 28 through December 17\, Human Resources LA is excited to present\, for the first time in California\, A.K. Burns’ video installation A Smeary Spot (2015). This 53-minute 4-channel video installation is the opening episode of a five-part cycle of multi-media works entitled Negative Space (2012-ongoing) that draws on science fiction\, theater\, philosophy\, and quantum theory. Setting up a parallel cosmology\, A Smeary Spot invites a dialogue between ecological fragility\, marginalized bodies\, and their relationship to resources. \nA Smeary Spot explores the metaphorical ‘sun’ as a manifestation of power\, a source of both life and death and around which the other episodes (in Negative Space) circulate. The title\, is borrowed from feminist sci-fi writer Johanna Russ’s book We Who Are About To…. The sun–– “that smeary spot” –– is a dense concentration of heat and light\, an organizing principle of time\, place and ego. What potential emerges when we glance away from the source and settle into the blurry residue of its afterimage? With political urgency\, the work reorients viewers in a ‘speculative present\,’ by which we are invited to imagine an alternative future. \nThis work was shot in two locations: in the deserts of southern Utah and inside a black box theater\, where performers deliver recitations of appropriated and altered texts that compose a loose manifesto on being. Inside this cinematic experience is a surreal narrative of bodies in transition — bodies that change\, move\, slip between\, act and act out. Among these bodies\, the land\, the water\, the waste pile and the theater are not simply stages upon which actions occur. They are sprawling protagonists\, who\, like the sun are permeating and persistent. \nIn a moment when the logic of political power seems unyielding\, this work presents an aesthetic vision—a speculative space that unbinds us from delusional inherited behaviors\, where the present categories of body\, mind\, land\, “one” and “other” are dispersed in favor of a new relationality. Through moving image and an elaborate (6-channel) sound track\, A Smeary Spot allows us to inhabit this metaphysical offering\, decisively rethinking our conception of language and boundaries (political\, social\, bodily) and their ensuing impact in contemporary understandings of politics. \nThis exhibition of A Smeary Spot was made possible with the generous support of The Foundation of Contemporary Arts Emergency Grants\, The Box\, the Hammer Museum\, and Human Resources LA. The video\, A Smeary Spot (2015)\, was produced with support from Creative Capital\, The Kitchen\, Outpost Cuts and Burns Residency\, Callicoon Fine Arts\, and PARTICIPANT INC\, and in conjunction with performers niv Acosta\, Nayland Blake\, Grace Dunham\, Jack Doroshow (aka Flawless Sabrina)\, Macauley Devun\, Marcelo Gutierrez\, Katherine Hubbard\, Lee Maida\, Matana Roberts\, Jen Rosenblit\, Mariana Valencia and soundtrack scored by artist Geo Wyeth. \n  \nSpecial thanks to Chiara Giovando\, Max Krivinsky\, Kandis Williams\, Becky Stafford\, Lydon Macgregor\, Karla Canseco\, Isidro Pérez García\, Adam Otto Lutz and Jaya Inder Kang \nImage: Still from A Smeary Spot (2015).

Please come to eat\, drink\, be entertained\, learn about the history of Human Resources\, and meet the artists\, curators\, and organizers of Human Resources’ community. Also\, come to see the work of many of the artists we have come to know and work with over the last 8 years. \nWe believe that Human Resources serves a vital role in an art economy that often fails to recognize and support the work of both emerging and established artists who are exploring performative and experimental modes of expression. Our strategy has been to actualize our mission by putting the intentions and practices of artists\, curators\, and community activists first\, and by maintaining a decentralized decision-making process that allows for maximum community access — and maximum artistic freedom\, invention and brilliance. \nOver the past seven years\, our unique organizational model has produced an incredible outpouring of creative enterprises\, with a positive impact that far exceeds our walls. In recent history\, we have hosted the exhibitions and performances of Ligia Lewis\, Rafa Esparza\, E.J. Hill\, Artemisa Clark\, Dorian Wood\, Keijaun Thomas\, Yann Novak\, Michael Parker\, Martine Syms\, Gelare Khoshgozaran\, Dirty Looks\, and living legends like Kembra Pfahler\, Terre Thaemlitz\, Rocio Boliver\, Ron Athey\, as well as a rare production of Tino Seghal’s (Untitled) 2000.

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 \nhttps://vimeo.com/176325206\nCristiano Lenhardt\, Guaracys\, 2016.

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 URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/merce-maria-chavezshelley-burgon-lucas-gorham/ CATEGORIES:one-time event at HR ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/MERCE.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20171006 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20171022 DTSTAMP:20171013T000932Z CREATED:20170922T193935Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171013T000932Z UID:2961-1507269600-1508565599@www.h-r.la 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 URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/andrew-norman-wilson-pretense/ LOCATION:Human Resources LA\, 410 Cottage Home\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012 CATEGORIES:exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/OdeToSeekers2012_AssemblyLine4.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170929 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20171003 DTSTAMP:20170922T194334Z CREATED:20170922T194334Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170922T194334Z UID:2964-1506664800-1506923999@www.h-r.la 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.
