It takes as its point of departure the recent scandal arising from the secret surveillance activities of the National Security Agency’s upon private citizens and politicians in the United States and abroad. This artwork focuses upon the culpability of the whistleblower Edward Snowden. Is he a villain or a hero and how will history treat him? Additionally\, can improvisational recitals translate streams of information about the event\, which in this case has been elaborated as graphic scores\, to better help us discover alternative truths about the conspiracy in an unbiased and novel way? Is this a form of empowerment that artists should embrace? \nThis performance is in four acts… It is accompanied by an installation of graphic scores on display that involves the entire architectural space of Human Resources. Of special interest is a play by play running account of the action on stage occurring simultaneously with multiple real time Go Pro projections in synch with shifting gazes of the performers as they read the scores. \nPerformers include: \nUlrich Krieger\nRosemarie Hertlein\nJoshua Carro\nKevin Robinson\nAshiq Khondker\nChiara Giovando\nDavid Schafer\nRenee Petropoulos \nCurated by Isabelle le Normand \nIsabelle Le Normand is an independent curator based in Los Angeles. For six years\, she was director of Visual Arts and curator at Mains d’Œuvres\, a multidisciplinary space in the north of Paris where she curated over 30 exhibitions. She has also curated independently in Paris\, Los Angeles\, Bourges\, Budapest\, and Marseille. \nWarren Neidich is a Los Angeles based wet conceptual artist and theorist who exposes the interfaces between socially engaged cultural production and its interrelationship to the brain and cognitive capitalism to produce an Emancipatory Materialism. His interdisciplinary anarchic experimental works combine photographic and video elements\, Internet downloads\, scotch tape\, painting and noise installations. Future exhibitions include Seconds\, Sharjah Foundation\, Saudia Arabia\, The Cartography of the Mind’s Eye\, Barbara Seiler Gallery\, Zurich\, and The Phylogenesis of Generosity\, Flora Arts Natura\, Bogota. His book The Psychopathologies of Cognitive Capitalism Part Two was recently published by Archive Press\, Berlin\, Germany. His collection of essays Resistance is Fertile will be published in German by Merve Verlag\, in the fall of 2014.

An excess that burns cities to the ground. And a drowning excess. An ocean of excess. Silent\, non human\, awkwardly terrifying\, uninvited excess. \n“And excess can be sabotage\, a stiletto thrown in the gears. Our fem is too soft and too hard for this police state. But we know women’s freedom was never given. And all feminism has always been a trans feminism. And as they took it then\, we take it now. \n“Because excess can be a body in common. A raging commons that rushes over the plains taking everything with it\, a seething communism. And excesses of time\, a gilded excess of degeneration\, saying please give us this day\, our daily bread. Please give us this day\, our daily bread. Wandering through a forest of communisms with utopia on the tips of our tongue and solidarity in our shallow breaths. \n“And I am the daughter of lightning\, you cannot move me at all.

Elements have been painstakingly derived from C&EI’s over decade long engagement with\, sometimes artistic\, sometimes anarchist\, attempts to collectivize commercial\, domestic and public space. \n. . . . . \nCake and Eat It (a collaboration between Kate Kershenstein and Ada Tinnell) creates works that deal with the underbelly and sometimes intersection of gift economy\, fashion\, anarchism\, queer identities and radical unionism. Historically\, C&EI has thrown fashion shows in dingy dinge holes\, hosted anarchist variety shows and salons (yum yum)\, given away cursed gifts\, staged riotous fashion marches\, styled defendants for court\, ran a year long free boutique and orchestrated an experimental tribute to Jean Genet. Their most recent line of inquiry is an investigation into the cultural scripts that pervade radical political forms- the manifesto\, the union\, the strike hall\, the picket and the strike itself. Questioning the utilitarian veneer of politics\, the project seeks instead to elaborate fem methods and aesthetics that better mediate between affective bonds and bonds of political solidarity. Project iterations have so far included a series of temporary strike halls dispersed throughout Los Angeles\, a series of zines on the matter and Opera Operaismo: A May Day Opera-As-Flying-Picket. \nOPENING RECEPTION \nSeptember 18th at 8pm  \nWith performance/discussion by Cake and Eat It \n  \nRED PARTY \nCop Watch Benefit/ Cool World \nSeptember 20th \nRed carpet.

Join our ongoing conversation to help create a better future for higher education! Music\, spiked punch\, and special guests.  \nNatural Girl: a T-girl Night \nSeptember 26th \nA night of lounge\, performance art and dancing centered on trans women and those that love trans women. Presented in collaboration with Emily Lucid\, Zackary Drucker\, Roxy Wood and Lee Samantha Faelnar Te. \nLook At These Fucking Artists #2 \nSeptember 28th \nThe art world often trades in exclusion\, and it’s easy to feel talked at\, rather than in dialogue. Honestly\, a space is very much needed where art workers can discuss the issues and problematics of contemporary art practices in person\, where everyone’s voices are heard. Continuing on the conversations broached at the first LATFA\, held at the 2012 Anarchist Bookfair\, discussion will include: art world exclusion\, careerism\, racism\, gentrification\, pandering\, elitism\, labor exploitation\, complicity with colonialist regimes and generally how and if art can be used to dismantle the police state and capitalism. This will be a relaxed afternoon of intimate conversations on key questions chosen by participants for their urgency\, timeliness and passion. In hopes of reducing immaterial labor in the prep for these talks\, instead of formal presentations\, the emphasis will be on vibrant\, healthy\, non-oppressive dialogue and snacks. \n. . . . . \nOurs is a society built not on what you know\, but who you know\, given that\, social capital might really be the capital. That particular currency of social influence that keeps the cogs of society well lubricated\, determining the pecking order\, has often been the sole purview of the economic elite. In other words\, maintaining closed networks of social caché sure helps keep out the riff-raff. \nCurious then that cultural/artistic production\, often the work of the somehow marginalized\, is perhaps the most potent generator of social capital. Cultural work provides sites of intellectual exchange\, sociality\, conviviality\, and not to mention all those precious\, precious objects -prime grounds for social speculation. \nWe are alienated\, woefully so. More so than ever.  They don’t call it a police state for nothing. I don’t know you and you don’t know me. All that alienated exchange\, all those blank moments\, empty eyes. Spaces chock-full of Purina and Fanta\, but no space for you/me/us. Mediated to death. We maintenance it\, we work at it\, we work in it\, we reproduce it\, we live for it\, we hardly recall how to do anything else. Conditioned just so. \nAnd we keep making art. Art magic. Bending time and space. Those beautiful illusions. We make make make make make make make make make make make make make make make make make. \nWhat are we making? Who is it for? What if we didn’t do it? What if we refused? Our hearts might stop beating? The making maybe being the only thing that makes it all worth it. \nIf we’ve got that time\, that excess\, to create\, if we’ve got that heartbreak that’s going to pour out into something\, somehow\, anyway\, if we’ve got that impulse\, if we’ve got that need\, if we somehow\, one way or another are going to make that work\, make that thing… \nIt shouldn’t be for them. Not anymore. \nWe can’t just endlessly make sparkling commodities of dazzling authenticity.  We can’t just simply speak truth to power\, ceaselessly resuscitating a fatiguing revolutionary rhetoric. We can’t continue to participate in simulacra of avant-garde linearism that’s been long since dead. We can’t continue to pace endlessly through a series of circuitous gestures pondering the mire of post-modern chimera. Perhaps we ought to believe in something more undefined\, applying it all towards that irreducible limit called utopia. All this activity\, this expression\, couldn’t it all be a function of x\, as x approaches infinity? Creating a calculus of social capital\, a refusal to accept the boundedness of our relationships\, our lives? \n. . . . . \nSurfacing. Collectively coming up from the battle gray to see if we can find much of anything to share. \nLet’s resurrect the Strike Hall. Though maybe let’s not just make a historical reenactment? Let’s not make replicas of those hallowed halls of rest\, reproductive labor\, and revolutionary staging that buoyed worker’s rights struggles of the thirties\, the sixties\, even occasionally today (see UFW\, IWW\, ILGWU for examples). \nInstead\, let’s make a Strike Hall for all\, for today\, for tomorrow\, to share in our struggle\, whatever the struggle. Let it be a place for making something\, or not making anything. Let it be a place where we ask ourselves who we are\, how are we relating\, if we are relating\, what we actually want? Let it be a place where we have a look at utopia\, at all the attempts at collectivizing\, the attempts to flee\, the attempts to make it out of this police-state-capitalism-whatever-the-origin-awfulness. \nAnd let’s take a nap together\, watch something shiny we can ignore while we tickle each other\, giggle at four-syllable jargon and maybe catch eyes with someone for one beat longer than necessary.  Call me comrade\, maybe?  Let it be a break room for the break that never ends.

His works fused an intellectual sense of reason with the irreverent wit that distances them from the supposedly ‘boring’ world of avant-garde film.

Having explored the physical qualities of the celluloid strip\, his attention turned to the spectator in a series of ‘literal’ films that question the illusionary nature of cinema through the use of elaborate wordplay and visual ambiguity. The characters in Land’s films are often the antithesis of those we might expect to see\, such as podgy middle aged men and radical Christians. He sometimes parodies experimental film itself\, by mimicking his contemporaries and mocking the solemn approach of its scholars. Land constructs ‘facades’ of reality\, often directly addressing the viewer using the language of television\, advertising or educational films\, and proposes an alternative logic for a medium that has become over theorised and manipulated. He has exposed the material of film and deconstructed the process and the effect\, while covering the ‘big topics’ of religion\, psychoanalysis\, commerce and pandas making avant-garde movies.

Experience the “value” of art amongst the remnants of post-colonial head butting. (Facebook event page.) \nAlso with Musical Performances\nNEW NATIVE\nSEWAGE \nMarcel Alcala w/ Monica Noonan\n“In and Out There”\nThe performance will be 2 clowns. I’ll be holding a mic and walking in the gallery making note of different situations and talking about the institution. I’ll be posing and the other clown will be holding the camera. Basically a walk in and out. Posing for photos and making a scene. Kinda like the orisia Osain. \nSofia Moreno\n“CyberNymph”\nCyberNymph\, is the first in a trilogy of experimental videos that explores artificial landscapes\, fantasy\, internet pornography and the use of the body as sculpture to create a seductive and mind- altering experience. \n“Kake\, Kake\, Kake”\nBy working with food I examines questions of she-male porn consumption\, fetish\, consumerism and the value of the female TransBody as an artistic medium. Inspired by a variety of sources such as my “Color Studies Series” “Kake\,Kake\,Kake” brings to life works on paper of 2009 and blurs the lines between\, the physical\, art\, fetish and the distinction between those who use food as material and those who use it as simply an aesthetic medium; objects are not only perceived\, but also like or disliked emphasizing the subjectivity of the TransExperience in internet pornography. \nRosè\n“Out of Malkuth”\nLingering on a physical plane\, the artist struggles both with its fragmented body\, hindering absolution\, and the realization that great escape is mere myth. \nMarcel Alcala was born and raised in Santa Ana\, CA to immigrant parents. Came out at 19 in Chicago\, IL where he attended SAIC. Work deals with critical resentment of the Institution and how one can create work that ultimately plays fire with fire. \nJose Hernandez (Ishtar Bukkake/ROSÈ/Celeste) is a Chicago?body based artist. Drawing from elements of dance\, performance\, theater\, music\, and ritual he explores the spaces that border between the body\, fantasy\, queer world making\, and religious practices in search for immanence in a post-millenial landscape. Jose attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago(BFA 2008). Recently he was awarded a Link Up residecy at Links Hall where he presentes a three day ceremony\, Planet X The Nu Fantaztiik. He has presented work in Chicago at Defibrillator Gallery\, Museum of Contemporary Art\, S+S Project\, Sullivan Galleries\, Garbage World\, Happy Dog\, Berlin\, The Hideout\, Aldo Castillo Gallery\, and New Capital. He has also exhibited work at JACK (NYC)\, Oliver Francis Gallery (Dallas)\, Aux Performance Space\, and Little Berlin (Philadelphia).He has performed and collaborated with artists Antibody Corporation\, Ginger Krebs\, La Spacer\, Gel Set\, Eileen Doyle\, and Heather Lynn. Currently he is collaborating with artist Efren Adkins with Burning Orchid a pre-identity post-colonial performative earthwork. \nSofia Moreno was born and raised in Coahuila\, Mexico. In 1994 she immigrated to United States\, where she currently lives and works prior to moving to Chicago Sofia lived in Texas. Sofia Moreno is a mixed media artist and her subjects include expressions of the sacred and profane the body\, sexuality\, religion and socio-political issues within contemporary culture. Moreno is currently working on the follow- up to her five year project P o r n A g a i n. “I’m interested in the essence of the body rather than the form itself. I paint a sexually and spiritually confused youth.” Sofia Moreno.

Fascination with cultural identity is both the means and the end: fashion\, like art\, engages a public desiring insight on culture from seeing itself reflected back on a critical\, yet consumable scale. \nViewed within an art context\, the work of Audrey Wollen and Cali Thornhill DeWitt supports our understanding of the communicative capacity of images and objects to materialize concepts\, fictions\, and narratives — self-constructed and projected — across social spheres. In this exhibition\, both artists have taken the immediately recognizable form of the sweatshirt as a focal point\, to mobilize ideas and references to fashion identities within the larger context of contemporary art. \nThe displayed sweatshirts form a suggestive yet speculative proposition on how to approach the production and reception of contemporary art making. The production of fashion illuminates the production of art today: no longer tied to religious or ideological representation\, art instead is subject to the laws of marketing. Both artists utilize a similarly critical stance toward what they offer to the viewer: a kind of branding that questions its own status and role as much as that of its subjects. Removed from their strict commercial function\, the sweatshirts on view challenge the complex relationship between appropriation and concept\, identity and lifestyle\, class and taste. In this duality of ideological positions\, the distinction between art object and clothing item is intentionally blurred. \nAudrey Wollen’s hoodies appropriate the aesthetics of protest wear\, specifically the Black Bloc tactic\, where a kind of uniformity or neutrality allows the protest group to function as one large\, unified mass in the midst of a storm. This strategy allows a certain anonymity\, which can be useful when risking arrest\, and also creates space\, a coherent system. It is a strategy of negation — oversized and unisex\, improvised as voluntary alienation — and assumes a direct\, oppositional stance not only to traditional institutions\, but toward audiences as well. An aesthetics of action outlines the differences between external representation and self-presentation; from the outside\, the Bloc is regarded as anonymous\, therefore less autonomous\, and more of an artifact\, or even a brand. \nAn understanding of the aesthetic experience of Wollen’s work is one mediated not just by the work’s material presence\, but also through the re-examination of language. One is both able and unable to take in the entire text on these sweatshirts. In order to grasp the sequence\, one has to come in close to the work\, close enough to register the fragmentary details\, losing sight of the lateral whole\, falling back to see how the parts interact. That Wollen’s text at first reads as decorative flourishes makes this process all the more rewarding. Taken from a feminist experimental novel first published in 1969\, the text proposes a space of laughter and destruction\, the fragmentation of language itself enacting the taking apart and pulling together of the revolutionary women. \nCali Thornhill DeWitt’s memorial crewnecks are directly influenced by the sweatshirts worn and shared by Los Angeles gang members of the 1980s and 1990s. Created not only to canonize fallen heroes\, the sweats served to communicate with the wearer’s extended family\, by way of visual cues and coded language. Billboard culture\, neighborhood alliances\, hierarchal friendships\, blood in blood out\, custom fit in one cool package. DeWitt plays with this form\, paying tribute to his own idols. The caveat is that they happen to be everyone else’s idols as well. Spelled out in gothic arcs\, the celebrity personalities and their defining attitudes are forever suspended in death within the atmosphere and environment of Los Angeles at that particular moment. It comes to an end. Yes baby it’s all over now bye bye I’m gone. \nBoth artists complicate ideas of how a community is perceived collectively. Los Angeles is distinctive in that it is built and structured to support a number of individual identities simultaneously: Mall brats\, Executives in soft shouldered Armani\, empty blondes\, surfer bros\, Midwest transplants and the valley kids that never left. All form temporary and informal communities\, trying to fit within the cracks of existing structures. \nWollen’s highly intimate vision imparts us with the possibility of challenging fixed notions of representation. She introduces the idea of the body as a cultural and political archive\, marked by the images\, narratives\, and practices stored within it. DeWitt affirms how these transformative and communicational aspects are fixed\, and remain\, even through death. In a city supported by fiction and fictionalizing\, identity is prized currency\, with celebrity validated through the monetization of private behavior in public spaces. DeWitt deftly folds his own personal idiosyncratic mythologies and identities into those of his subjects.\nThis shared contribution by DeWitt and Wollen lays the groundwork for an aesthetic narrative and language of their own that reference and refer back to one another. While at first glance the works on view appear wholly dissimilar – other than their immediate material qualities – therein lies a tacit understanding between the artists and their audience about the work’s intentions: to make a statement about the art work as an object connecting participants with shared passions\, identifications\, and politics. \nAs the viewer walks into the Los Angeles night\, she stops to consider a corner she has passed many times: the places where people have died\, and the buildings that have yet to fall. \n—Camille Mary Weiner \n  \n  \nCali Thornhill-Dewitt\n \nAudrey Wollen \n \nPhotos courtesy of David Matthew Wright URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/now-open-24-hours-audrey-woolen-cali-thornhill-dewitt/ LOCATION:Human Resources LA\, 410 Cottage Home\, Los Angeles\, CA\, 90012 CATEGORIES:exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/24-HOURS-1.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140806T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140806T000000 DTSTAMP:20260404T011701 CREATED:20160311T093549Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180920T045452Z UID:1340-1407283200-1407283200@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:earthmasters DESCRIPTION:The video of the performance can be found here. \nmusic show event\nFrom: George demoura \nDate: Mon\, Apr 14\, 2014 at 7:43 AM\nSubject: HR August 5-8th\nTo: info@humanresourcesla.com \nHi \nI performed at your space a few years ago with the artist Narcissister at a video screening event. I’m going to be in LA in early august and was wondering if you’re interested in doing a music/video event. My project is called EarthMasters\, I’m releasing the new Lucky Dragons record so they would most likely be on the bill if the scheduling works out and I’m going to contact Hive Mind\, John Wiese\, and GX Larsen and some others to see if they’re interested once I have a show confirmed. Hope you’re doing well\, below is a link to my recent LP. Let me know if we can work something out. \nThanks a lot \nhttp://totalrealityinternational.bandcamp.com/ \nHere’s the information for all of the performers. \nGX Jupitter-Larsen (sometimes erroneously spelled Juppiter-Larsen) is an artist\, based in Hollywood\, California\, who has been active in a number of underground art scenes since the late 1970s. Jupitter-Larsen has been involved in punk rock\, mail art\, cassette culture\, the noise music scene\, and zine culture.[1] During the 1990s he was the sound designer for the performances of Mark Pauline’s Survival Research Laboratories. His best known work is as the founder of the noise act The Haters\, who have performed all over the world\, and appear on over 300 CD and record releases. \n \nJoseph Hammer has actively created experimental works since 1980 as a member of the\nLAFMS collective. His practice draws on the complexities of the process of listening and\nplaying\, reflecting on the role of the audience versus the performer\, and uses music as it\ninfluences our notion of time\, memory and intimacy as the basis for improvisation and\nabstraction. In various collaborations\, solo\, and as a founding member of the trio Solid\nEye along with several other projects (Joe & Joe\, Dinosaurs With Horns\, Dimmer\, Points\nof Friction)\, Hammer has performed widely and is an influential contributor to the Los\nAngeles underground scene. \nhttp://laartstream.com/ear-meal/joseph-hammer/ \nEarthMasters is the solo project of George de Moura. Located in Brooklyn NY de Moura utilizes modular synthesis\, viola\, and various media to produce soundscapes intended to alter the psychological condition of the listener. de Moura is best known for his collaborations with the artist Narcissister\, their sound pieces were included in A.L Steiner’s installation in the 2014 Whitney Biennial and have performed during a residency at Envoy Enterprises. \nhttp://totalrealityinternational.bandcamp.com/track/concept-reinforcement \nG.S. Sultan is the computer_music project of Roy Werner. Oriented around sample-based composition\, sound is processed through deconstructive/generative custom software via Max/MSP in an attempt to force spanning source material into connotative and contextual equivalence.

In less than a year the guitar ‘n drums ‘n buzz duo recorded three full length albums and then promptly vanished\, spirited to China and vanishing along the disintegrating edge of east Beijing. \nA year later Alpine Decline resurfaced\, pumping out new albums from the outskirts of the megatropolis. On 2013’s “Night of the Long Knives” and their new album “GO BIG SHADOW CITY\,” we find the band descending from the high altitude visions of their previous records\, walking us gassed out and head numb through chaos and time sickness\, deep into the ruins of ancient alleyways and naked skyscrapers. \nNORTH AMERICA SUMMER 2014 \n8/4 – Los Angeles @ Human Resources\n8/5 – San Francisco @ TBA\n8/6 – Portland @ Habesha Lounge\n8/7 – Olympia @ The Guest House\n8/8 – Missoula @ The VFW\n8/9 – Calgary @ The Local 510\n8/10 – Saskatoon @ Vangelis Tavern\n8/11 – Edmonton @ Wunderbar\n8/13 – Vancouver @ Electric Owl Social Club\n8/15 – Nanaimo @ The Globe\n8/16 – Victoria @ Copper Owl\n8/17 – Seattle @ Mamma’s Cave LoFI Gallery\ URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/alpine-decline-now-sadistic-candle/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140801T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140801T000000 DTSTAMP:20260404T011701 CREATED:20160311T093549Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180920T050455Z UID:1338-1406851200-1406851200@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:75 dollar bill + PARK DETAILS BAND + GNAGORIACEHT DESCRIPTION:Courtesy of Rick Brown \n75 Dollar Bill: long form Mauritanian-inspired guitar and percussion duo from NY\nhttp://www.nytimes.com/2014/02/11/arts/music/75-dollar-bills-arabic-inspired-sound.html \nThe Park Details Band – sweet goodness from Chris Cohen of Curtains/Cryptacize and Yasi Perera \nhttp://curtains.suchfun.net/park_details_band!/ \nGNAGORIACEHT – spell it backwards and it will make sense \n$5 donation appreciated\n9pm URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/75-dollar-bill-park-details-band-gnagoriaceht/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140727T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140727T000000 DTSTAMP:20260404T011701 CREATED:20160311T093548Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160311T093548Z UID:1337-1406419200-1406419200@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:HORRIBLE PRESENT + OLD TOY TRAINS + CAT MUSEUM + MIMES OF WINE DESCRIPTION:$5 all ages touring musicians HORRIBLE PRESENT and MIMES OF WINE plus local favorites OLD TOY TRAINS and CAT MUSEUM… 8p doors.\ncome one\, come all…\n…and lake Cuomo… cuz we got two fine Italian musicians and a couple locals ones too \n8p doors \, music by 8:30p\nMIMES OF WINE will kick off the lovely evening. and we progress from there… \n$5 donation appreciated… refreshments to be served\nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/296055487240384 \nhttp://www.interviewmagazine.com/music/exclusive-video-premiere-rare-and-nocturnal-horrible-present/ URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/horrible-present-old-toy-trains-cat-museum-mimes-of-wine/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140707T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140711T000000 DTSTAMP:20260404T011701 CREATED:20160311T093548Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160311T093548Z UID:1336-1404691200-1405036800@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:Sam Davis Sculptural Ensemble Performance DESCRIPTION:Monday July 7 2014\, 7pm at Human ResourcesHuman Resources is pleased to present a pre-screening of Margaret Haines’ featurette film COCO. \nTuesday July 8 2014\, 8pm\nScreening of Automated Futures\, a documentary writtend and directed by Ulysses Pascal \nThursday July 10 2014\, 7-10\nLouie Louie is an opera and the conditions for an opera\, dispersed into an art show\,organized by Sam Davis\, and taking place at Human Resources in Los Angeles for one night only\, July 10\, 2014 from 7-10.

Jeepneys is named after the colorful and iconic public transportation vehicles that populate the Philippine islands\, originating from discarded U.S. WWII army jeeps. In the spirit of that reinvention\, Jeepneys uses Earthly materials to create other-worldy sounds\, movements\, and visuals\, manifesting “electro Pinayism waves” that travel through space and time to heal and inspire love. Navigating through science (non)fictional terrains and magical landscapes\, Jeepneys sows a deep spiritual connection with her environment\, ancestors\, and intuition. She is constantly seeking the wisdom of the cosmos and exploring the infinite possibilities to heal through art and music. \nJeepneys has exhibited at the Roy and Edna Disney/CalArts Theater (REDCAT)\, MOMA PS1\, the Getty’s Pacific Standard Time Presents\, and the ALOUD series for LA Public Library. She has toured the United States and Europe as a solo performer and is a member of the all women of color artists’ group\, Black Salt Collective. \nwww.jeepneysjeepneys.com\nhttp://blacksaltcollective.tumblr.com URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/jeepneys-olinglingo-performance/ ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/png:https://www.h-r.la/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Screen-Shot-2014-04-23-at-11.09.34-AM.png END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140625T000000 DTEND;TZID=America/Los_Angeles:20140625T000000 DTSTAMP:20260404T011701 CREATED:20160311T093548Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180920T052556Z UID:1333-1403654400-1403654400@www.h-r.la SUMMARY:ELOE OMOE / TELECAVES / POWER MALLET / PLASTIC HAND / BRITTAIN ASHFORD DESCRIPTION:Photos courtesy of Hamo Banham \nELOE OMOE / TELECAVES / POWER MALLET / PLASTIC HAND \nwith special guest BRITTAIN ASHFORD \n$5 \non the shortest night with no moonlight\,\nsounds when sunlight dims out. \nELOE OMOE \nhigh and heavy improv\ncore-free bass and drum noise rock\nhttp://infrasound.org/eloeomoe \nTELECAVES \nwith a menagerie of source and a range of process\nthe ‘caves do plume out crystalline clouds\nhttps://www.facebook.com/telecaves \nPOWER MALLET \nsarah rara and ron regé jr. strike\nan array of strikables creating a\nchange in air pressure aka sound\nhttp://powermallet.tumblr.com/ \nPLASTIC HAND \nband of SF transplants with shouts over triple\nsynth lines & live drummed rhythm that spooks\nya like a classic horror track\nhttps://soundcloud.com/plastic-hand-1/ \nBRITTAIN ASHFORD \naka PRAIRIE EMPIRE\, Brooklyn based band with cello/autoharp/janky electric guitar\nhttp://facebook.com/prairieempire \nbring a fin URL:https://www.h-r.la/event/eloe-omoe-power-mallet-tbd-event/ END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
