SUMMARY:Minor Gaps Between
DESCRIPTION:Gallery hours: 12 – 6pmOpening: Saturday\, January 20\, 6 – 9pm \n\n\n\nfeaturing work by:0ll668Derek HolguinJiayun ChenRodolfo Sousa \n\n\n\nMinor Gaps Between is the result of several conversations about the arcane and mystical. The title of the exhibition describes the vacuous space between the beginning and end of the void\, where the inexplicable intrusion of primordial impulses and revelations hide\, and where human logic cannot reach. The artists explored themes central to their practice\, ranging from the relationship between prophecy and coincidence\, the past and the future\, and the nebulous boundary between reality and fiction. In the void\, there are no correct questions or perfect beings; only nothingness exists. \n\n\n\nClick here to read a curatorial text by Nahui Garcia.

SUMMARY:Jules Garder and Nat Decker: Posturing Collapse
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 9th\, 6pm – 10pmPerformances: 8pm – 10pmFeaturing: Jules Chimes Gårder and Nat Decker\, Star Feliz and Cielo Saucedo\, thai Lu\, Life Em Stebbins and Jazmin Romero \n\n\n\nGallery Hours: Saturday\, February 10th and Sunday\, February 11th\,  12 – 6 pm \n\n\n\nFree admission; donations will be split between Sensi Skins and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund. \n\n\n\nPLEASE NOTE: Masks are required for the evening of performances to protect our immunocompromised community members. Free masks will be provided. HR is physically accessible with a small ramped entrance and ADA compliant bathroom. The event will be live-streamed. Auto captions will be provided in the space and on the live-stream. A visual description of the installation will be available during open hours. Please reach out to jules.c.garder@gmail.com for additional access requests.   \n\n\n\nPosturing Collapse is a two-person exhibition featuring works by Jules Chimes Gårder and Nat Decker. The duo will present a collaborative performance and installation of sculpture and video which measures the intersections (and differences) of their histories with grief\, disability\, and sexuality. The opening will include performances by Star Feliz and Cielo Saucedo\, thai Lu\, Life Em Stebbins\, and Jazmin Romero. \n\n\n\nJules Chimes Gårder is obsessed with their dead mom. Nat Decker is a fall risk toting the weight of abjection. Together they collapse and defy gravity in moments of recognition. Tendrils reach for stable ground\, exploring the spaciousness of absence. They count distances from shock\, perpetually reconstituting themselves. They crawl on uneven terrain\, defining new functional heights. They rest still\, knowing they are changing. Pressure delivers resistance. \n\n\n\nNat Decker (they/them) is a Chicago born Los Angeles based artist interpreting the intimacies of queer and disabled experience as provocation toward collective care and liberation. Bridging digital and physical mediums\, they leverage technology as a form of access\, seeking the integration of values into tools and processes. With Cielo Saucedo and Olivia Dreisinger\, Nat is building Cripping_CG – a community archive researching and documenting the intersection of disability culture and computer graphics. Nat is also an access worker\, consulting on accessibility for various arts organizations. They were a 2023 Processing Foundation Fellow and are a current member of NEW INC. In June 2022 they graduated from UCLA with a degree in Design/Media Arts and Disability Studies. \n\n\n\nJules Chimes Gårder (b.1987) (they/she) is a Los Angeles based artist indebted to the patterns of demise and reconstruction that are prompted by loss and grief. They primarily create sculptures and videos. Much of their work engages longitudinal experiences of mourning through collaborations with their mother Eva Chimes (posthumously). They will soon hold a BA in Art from UCLA. \n\n\n\nCielo Saucedo is an access worker and artist based in Los Angeles. Their work focuses on the dispersal of ableism through cultural economies. They work to dissolve the curative aspirations of technology. Their work encompasses computer generated imagery\, sculpture and virtual reality. They received their BFA from School of the Art Institute\, Chicago\, and are currently an MFA candidate at UCLA.  \n\n\n\nStar Feliz is a Dominican-American installation artist originally from New York\, NY currently based in Los Angeles\, CA. Building upon their ancestral Afro-Taino lineage of multi-dimensional healing — Feliz employs sound\, sculpture\, film\, earthworks\, and techniques of concealment\, language\, and mapping to transverse the psychic legacy of everyday resistance and world-making. Under the moniker of Priests they create experimental devotional music. They have exhibited\, performed\, and presented commissions nationally and internationally. \n\n\n\nthai Lu is a transdisciplinary artist\, writer\, and community organizer centering their practice on the social\, cultural\, and physical effects of chronic illness. As a chronically ill\, disabled\, neurodivergent\, and gender-divergent first generation American from a family of Vietnamese refugees\, thai works at the intersections of Western bio-politics\, Southeast Asian diaspora\, post-war intergenerational suffering\, relational ecologies of interdependence\, and the concept of metamorphosis. \n\n\n\nLife Em Stebbins is a poet and geologist living in Humboldt County\, California. As a graduate student at Cal Poly Humboldt\, Life studies mud to reconstruct glaciation history and paleoclimate patterns in the Klamath Mountains. Her poems focus on dry earth\, wet dirt\, and the sacrament of mud. Life reads poems across the country and digs holes throughout the Intermountain West.Jazmin Romero is a multidisciplinary artist born and raised in Los Angeles\, CA. Her work explores memory\, family\, migration\, and labor through performance\, sound\, music and visual art. Romero’s work is interested in understanding patterns of dispossession and displacement in her personal and familial history. Through experimental modes of storytelling\, she shares her experiences in performances\, video\, and sculptural installations that center her resilient origins and create space for personal and collective meditation.

SUMMARY:Reading The Right to Maim
DESCRIPTION:HRLA is hosting a two-part seminar dedicated to reading Jasbir Puar’s The Right to Maim: Debility\, Capacity\, Disability (2017).  The Right to Maim\, which argues that debilitation is a defining feature of settler colonialism\, culminates in a devastating analysis of the production of Palestine as “available for injury.” This seminar is an artist-centered reading group and\, like other HRLA seminars\, is intended to support collective reading and thinking. (People who are neither artists nor art workers but keen to be in community with us are welcome.) Meetings will be held online on February 10 and February 24 at 11am\, and will be led by Jennifer Doyle. People who register for the seminar will get a reading guide (as we’ll focus on specific parts of the book) and links to background reading and videos. Our sessions will open with an overview and some grounded talking points that lead to conversation within smaller groups. The sessions will end with everyone coming back together for a group discussion. Register for our seminar here.

SUMMARY:WHAT ARE WORDS FOR?
DESCRIPTION:Join HRLA for a panel and conversation about statements and solidarity. (RESCHEDULED from 2/6) \n\n\n\n\n\nEndorsements of PACBI\, calls for ceasefire\, individual expressions of solidarity —  what do different kinds of statements do? What does it mean to dismiss a statement as performative? If words count for so little\, why is so much effort spent on controlling who can say what and where?  \n\n\n\nThis panel will feature people who have participated in statement writing and experienced the ripple effects created by expressions of solidarity with the struggle for Palestinian liberation. This is a chance for us to connect and support each other as we take up the Palestinian Campaign for Academic and Cultural Boycott and confront efforts to limit\, contain and dismantle solidarity work.

SUMMARY:Meejin Hong: Deluge
DESCRIPTION:Still from Deluge by Meejin Hong\n\n\n\n\na screening and art show with Meejin Hong opening Friday\, February 16th\, 5 – 8pmGallery hours: Saturday\, February 17th and Sunday\, February 18th\, 12 – 6pm \n\n\n\nMeejin Hong is an experimental animator deeply rooted in the fine arts. She thrives off of a stream of conscious brainstorming that propels her into the fantastic\, more primitive side of creation. In her film Deluge (2024)\, she utilizes straight ahead animation to create an ever-evolving landscape where the present inevitably coexists with the past. Memories are formed\, reshaped\, and obliterated\, relentlessly competing for space. Control is surrendered\, and mistakes and second chances are embraced. It is the slow stampede of a vulnerable mind. Hong was born in Spartanburg\, SC and currently resides with a creep of tortoises and other unruly creatures in Winnetka\, CA.  \n\n\n\nDeluge (2024) by Meejin Hong is an animation constructed from ink and 24 frames. 24 drawings\, photographed\, added to\, re-photographed repeat\, repeat\, repeat. This cycle of drawing and photographing is repeated by Hong until she reaches complete darkness. Created out of thin black ink lines sprouting and erupting\, constantly protruding and reproducing themselves. A fun-fair takes form\, a parade of ghosts and whimsy. A stream of ground and bacterial swamp matter choreographed by Hong’s cunning use of movement\, humor and transformation.  \n\n\n\nTricky twirls and balancing acts\, a sinister hand encouraging us to come inside. An interior that grows deeper and further introverted. Micro organisms become increasingly clearer and in focus\, each with their own schema\, until consumed by itself or another matter. With each cycle of 24 frames the tricks and transgressions grow more delusional\, intricately interwoven birthing new specimens and offspring. Constantly re-producing\, overlapping\, and developing until all we are left with is deep darkness\, a very pure black.  \n\n\n\nMeejin Hong’s latest animation leaves us in a void and that seems on the mark. Deluge can be read as a cross section of our own human condition with each layer wrecking havoc\, elegantly causing chaos and catastrophe. From the bodily organisms\, the body politic and the mass that is this earth.  \n\n\n\ntext by Olivia Taussig

SUMMARY:untitled|unknown (featuring mattie barbier\, Ensemble Adapter\, Davíð Brynjar Franzson)
DESCRIPTION:untitled|unknown \n\n\n\nWednesday\, February 21st\, 8:30pm \n\n\n\nFree Admission \n\n\n\nhttps://ensemble-adapter.de/ \n\n\n\nhttps://mattiebarbier.com/ \n\n\n\nhttp://franzson.com/ \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nSpecifically tailored to the architecture of Human Resources\, untitled|unknown is a collaborative project initiated by L.A.-based Icelandic composer Davíð Brynjar Franzson\, performed by Ensemble Adapter (Iceland/Germany) and mattie barbier (LA). \n\n\n\nAdapted to the resonant frequencies of the room\, untitled|unknown creates a slowly undulating mass of sound forms by utilizing subwoofers\, the natural resonances of the building\, and the feedback produced by modifying the instruments the performers play. The audience can position themselves freely anywhere in the space\, come and go and move around as desired. \n\n\n\n––– \n\n\n\nuntitled|unknown is based on the feedback responses of human resources. \n\n\n\nThe space is a coupled resonant body\, a type of a structure whose resonant features cannot be mathematically described\, only sounded out. \n\n\n\nThis is a presentation of an extremely site-specific work\, a work very much always in progress\, an open rehearsal\, a preview of what might be\, of what might become. \n\n\n\nThree performers are positioned in the middle of the space\, forming a triangle\, facing away from each other. \n\n\n\nBehind them is a set of speakers\, in front of them their instruments. \n\n\n\nAn undulating mass of sound forms\, almost as if an extremely dense and heavy object is sitting at the center of the space.Against this dense sound–entity\, low pulsating bass tones emerge\, split apart and form a scaffolding against which to sense the flow of time.The piece is an active exploration of the sound of a room\, the sounds of the instruments\, and the compositional space that is woven against and between the two. \n\n\n\nThe piece explores the interaction between the standing frequencies of the space and the resonant frequencies of the instruments via an intertwined feedback mechanism. \n\n\n\nThe performers use augmented versions of their instruments to produce and control internal and external feedback via traditional and nontraditional performance methods\, exploring the instruments as physical objects with their own resonant capabilities. \n\n\n\nThe continuous shifting of connections and shaping of possibilities turns the space into a dynamic score that the performers explore. The experience is partially pre-composed\, partially being created in real-time. \n\n\n\nThe sound emerges from the interplay of the instruments and the space\, effectively converting the space into a collaborative instrument.

SUMMARY:para by para
DESCRIPTION:para by para \n\n\n\npara by para is a (hyper)active listening party featuring performances by sound artists Slow Rose and jeremy +/ kennedy\, under her new moniker D.J. Again. para by para tiptoes the edge of the event horizon\, taking an expansive approach to composition\, with instrumentation that encompasses sound\, movement\, immersive/multichannel video\, and you. \n\n\n\nPull up a chair. \n\n\n\nFriday February 23rdHuman Resources \n\n\n\nDoors at 7:30pm8pm Performances \n\n\n\nPerformances  \n\n\n\nSlow RoseFour Fours (Work in Progress)  \n\n\n\nFour Fours is a collaborative composition with four video scores for four performers. Each score consists of imagery that one member of Slow Rose has collected for another member—leading or misleading the other in visual rhythms\, color\, and abstraction while continuing to actively listen and respond to the group in their ongoing improvisational practice. The audience is invited to view\, listen\, and explore space + time along with the performers. \n\n\n\n jeremy +/ kennedy \n\n\n\n2024 Mixes 4 2004 DJs by D.J. Again  \n\n\n\nAfter a 20 year hiatus\, LA-based artist Jeremy Kennedy marks her return to the hazardous electronic playground of outbound\, beat-driven sound under the telling new moniker\, D.J. Again. Though the tag quickly suggests many narratives threatening to create their own feedback loops\, Kennedy embraces them\, allowing the D.J. Again production style to empty out the escapism at the range that you want both in reflection and present tense with a designer lo-fi aesthetic that only the moaning highlights of a half-broken\, semi-affordable PA system could muse upon.  \n\n\n\nFor para by para\, she will be presenting a blend of newly constructed tracks combined with essential sips of unreleased material from the artist’s ghost-of-EDM-past as a disjunctive two-channel composition where sound meets event-specific projection\, in collaboration with John Dawson and Alee Peoples. \n\n\n\nMore than leftfield leftovers\, this curated collection captures the heavily-syncopated post-trap drum lines and computer noise of the existing genre\, with a harder brutalist push toward the future soundsystem. A self-designed remix of identity. \n\n\n\n△  \n\n\n\npara by para is curated by Emji Saint Spero. \n\n\n\n— \n\n\n\nBios \n\n\n\nSlow Rose is Chris Nowak\, James Aranda\, Paul Carter\, and Pauline Lay. They perform on bass\, guitar\, drums\, and violin–varying between structured and unstructured moments\, often durational and exploratory. \n\n\n\nIg @slooowrose @paulinelay @crisp_r @jac.aranda.blue @whereisthey \n\n\n\nJeremy Kennedy (b. 01.01.1980) has been creating and exhibiting art and ideas in community and academic settings since the mid-1990s. Before moving to Los Angeles in 2009\, the largely self-taught artist spent over a decade living and working in Bloomington\, Indiana. Her pieces and projects have been featured in publications and journals internationally\, and in galleries\, streets\, backyards\, and basements across the U.S.  \n\n\n\nHer practice as an active sound-maker (i.e.: composer\, performer\, producer of designed(?) sound)\, both informs and is informed in equal relation to the other aspects of her art. Behind these scenes\, she is the remaining member / now operator of the fairweather micro-label\, The Fuck Me Stupid Mountain Princess Recording Collective (FMSMPRC).  \n\n\n\nAs co-founder\, playwright\, and reluctant performer with P/Sicho Street Theater Company\, she produces collaborative radio/audio theatre productions and site-specific works for stage & salon. She can be found in print as the author of A Gamble in this Dress\, Free Flyer (Volume One)\, NOTE TO SEA\, was a contributing essayist/editor of Cry List\, and is a founding editor of the artbook/poetry imprint Rebel Hands Press. Her new book\, Mandatory Administrative Leave is forthcoming Spring 2024 from Make Now Books.

SUMMARY:First Draft
DESCRIPTION:First Draft is an evening of Experimental Works-in-Process for Los Angeles based dance and performance artists. The evening serves as a creative laboratory for wide-ranging artistic investigations in movement-based mediums for artists at all stages of their creative development. This round’s artists include Emma Alley\, Wesleigh Gates\, Kirsten Michelle Schnittker\, and Kevin Wong + Mariia Bakalo. \n\n\n\nTickets are $5 – $20 (sliding scale). Click here to purchase. \n\n\n\nFirst Draft was instigated and is curated by Emily Barasch. As an interdisciplinary artist and scholar Emily works across mediums of dance\, performance\, film\, and text. Emily believes that the ways our physical bodies move through the world are reflections of our past encounters and rehearsals for our future encounters. When we perform in dance\, theater\, and film our past\, present\, and future selves conjure and converge into one another. Emily believes the heightened frame and ephemeral container of performance allows us to experiment with alternate ways of being in the world\, attempting to access alternate possibilities that are not able to be expressed in dominant notions of time\, space\, and identity. Performance making for her is an attempt to rehearse these future possibilities in real time and space. Emily is honored to continue curating First Draft\, she feels passionately about bringing local Los Angeles experimental performance artists together and creating more spaces for connection\, experimentation\, and exchange!

SUMMARY:BEING WORK Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Book cover design by Gil Omry-Barel.\n\n\n\nIllustration from Being Work by Eileen Wolf Echikson.\n\n\n\n\nwith Dorothy Dubrule\, Jessica Emmanuel and Mireya Lucio\, moderated by Ajani Brannum \n\n\n\nBeing Work is a collection of essays by dance and theater artists\, edited by Dorothy Dubrule and published by Insert Press\, which offers access to varied experiences of performing in live exhibitions. The authors capture a spectrum of mundane and profound moments that arise within performance gig work in visual arts contexts such as museums\, galleries\, and art fairs\, detailing the day-to-day practice of inhabiting art work as well as reflecting on broader questions of how they got there and the impact it has had on their outside lives. While providing very personal\, human perspectives on what it feels like to perform in visual arts spaces\, Being Work asks its audience how a performer’s labor is perceived and valued in these spaces\, and what new possibilities might unfurl within the\, at times fraught\, coexistence of the two mediums. In celebration of the launch of the book\, Dubrule and fellow contributing authors Jessica Emmanuel and Mireya Lucio will read excerpts from their essays\, and\, in a community conversation moderated by Ajani Brannum\, co-envision an expansive future for performance labor in galleries\, museums\, and art fairs.  \n\n\n\nDorothy Dubrule is a choreographer and performer based in Los Angeles. Her choreography is often made in collaboration with people who do not identify as dancers and has been performed in theaters as well as bars\, clubs\, galleries\, sound stages and sports arenas. The content of her choreography draws inspiration from film and community theater. Prior to moving to LA\, she danced with DIY performance art collective Club Lyfestile and comedic fly girl crew Body Dreamz in Philadelphia. She has worked with visual artists\, musicians\, comedians\, choreographers and directors such as Emily Mast\, Jon Daly\, Kate Watson-Wallace\, Lea Anderson\, Lisel\, Melinda Ring\, Milka Djordjevich\, Narcissister\, Tino Sehgal\, Trulee Hall and Zoe Aja Moore\, among others. \n\n\n\nDorothy was the Executive Director of Pieter Performance Space\, a non-profit platform for movement artists\, healers and activists based in LA from 2017 to 2022. From arts non-profit leadership she transitioned to organizational operations with a focus on the care and resourcing of humans in the workplace.
