SUMMARY:Conscious Tether: Art and the Internet in Los Angeles
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception: Saturday\, October 5th\, 5 – 8pm \n\n\n\nGallery hours: Tuesday – Sunday\, 12pm – 6pm \n\n\n\nConscious Tether: Art and the Internet in Los Angeles is a group exhibition of contemporary artists considering what it means to live with and through the internet.  \n\n\n\nAppearing to be both nowhere and everywhere at once\, the internet’s presence is always felt\, always there\, always just outside the bounds of perception. Parallel to the common perception within media theory that infrastructures and apparatuses only make themselves known during instances of breakdown or failure\, Conscious Tether feels out the sites at which matter\, energy\, and labor assert themselves amidst conditions of invisibility\, control\, and waste. These artists prize apart how the networked\, digitized subject might respond to the state of ceaseless onlineness; at the same time\, the exhibition also asks what role the real space of Los Angeles plays within these complex interactions.  \n\n\n\nThe internet’s inaugural message sent from UCLA’s Boelter Hall reached its destination\, but was incomplete. The four-node network crashed after the first two letters—LO—of “LOGIN.” This initial semi-failure or partial transmission seems in retrospect\, given the intervening histories and usages\, emblematic of all that is in excess of the internet and yet could no longer exist without it. The assembled artists in Conscious Tether emphasize the material and immaterial reminders of the internet’s unceasing presence\, exploring its seeming peripheries. American Artist\, ann haeyoung\, and Romi Morrison implicate systems of quantification\, control\, and extraction; LA Cryptoparty\, KCHUNG\, Danielle Dean\, Tiny Tech Zines (Rachel Simanjuntak\, Jules Kris\, Tyler Yin\, Tristan Espinoza)\, and Xin Xin consider practices of labor\, privacy\, and consent; while works by Ahree Lee\, Devin Kenny\, and Alice Yuan Zhang reveal both the realities and possible futures of gendered technology\, encryption\, and technological ruins. Conscious Tether celebrates and acknowledges these peculiar intransigences\, to stay with the trouble that rubs up against the gridded globe of the “World Wide Web.”  \n\n\n\nCo-curated by Chandler McWilliams and Audrey Min\, with public programming organized by Daniel Soto and Casey Reas\, the exhibition will take place at Human Resources Los Angeles from October 5–20\, 2024\, with additional programming venues and dates forthcoming. The opening reception will be held from 5pm to 8pm\, and will feature a performance by Kenny.  \n\n\n\nPublic programming will include performances and workshops throughout the duration of the show. For more information on public programs and artist talks related to the exhibition please visit https://conditional.arts.ucla.edu/ for updates. \n\n\n\nConscious Tether features work by Ahree Lee\, Alice Yuan Zhang\, American Artist\, ann haeyoung\, Danielle Dean\, Devin Kenny\, KCHUNG\, LA Cryptoparty\, Romi Morrison\, Tiny Tech Zines (Rachel Simanjuntak\, Jules Kris\, Tyler Yin\, Tristan Espinoza)\, and Xin Xin.  \n\n\n\nA note on accessibility: Human Resources’ front entrance has one step (approximately seven inches)\, and has a folding wheelchair ramp. The gallery has a one-person gender neutral wheelchair accessible restroom on the first floor. An additional upstairs bathroom is gender neutral and has two stalls adjacent to each other. Audio descriptions and captions will be available for this exhibition. Events may feature flashing lights and loud music. \n\n\n\nConscious Tether is among more than 70 exhibitions and programs presented as part of PST ART. Returning in September 2024 with its latest edition\, PST ART: Art & Science Collide\, this landmark regional event explores the intersections of art and science\, both past and present. PST ART is presented by Getty. For more information about PST ART: Art & Science Collide\, please visit pst.art

SUMMARY:Shadow of My Shadow Book Release
DESCRIPTION:A reading and reception to celebrate the publication of Jennifer Doyle’s book\, Shadow of My Shadow.  \n\n\n\n“Shadow of My Shadow sets a new bar for autotheory. A patient\, granular dismantling of the chilling relations between work\, sex\, and institutions—and of their systemic disavowal. With her signature generosity of thought\, unflinching attention to difficult details\, and riveting writing that is at turns revelatory and crushing\, Jennifer Doyle has crafted a stunning\, exquisite work.” – Jasbir K. Puar\, author of The Right to Maim: Debility\, Capacity\, Disability \n\n\n\n“Jennifer Doyle’s Shadow of My Shadow rigorously inhabits and analyzes places that many of us feel averse to but that structure and shape our institutions and sometimes our greater lives. The result is a probing\, risk-taking\, distinctive study that aids its readers in better understanding ‘complaint pathology and the paranoid character of nearly all discourse about harassment’ and helps us fathom ‘what we lose when harassment ecologies consume us’—and what we might gain by living elsewise.” – Maggie Nelson\, author of Like Love: Essays and Conversations \n\n\n\ncover image courtesy of Aimee Goguen

SUMMARY:Basandja Coalition Free Congo Fundraiser
DESCRIPTION:Still from 片丹卞丹己凵冊日工片丹\, dir. Petna Ndaliko\n\n\n\nDoors at 6:30pm; event begins at 7:00pm$15 – $40 suggested donation (no one turned away for lack of funds); click here for tickets \n\n\n\nJoin us for a teach in\, fundraiser\, film screening\, food from Leela and a traveling exhibition of 27 photos in visual installation taken by The Mamas – women from the east of the Congo in the Bulengo displacement camp. \n\n\n\nIn-person from the Basandja Coalition’s Free Congo Tour:Petna Ndaliko Katondolo\, Filmmaker\, Activist and Educator; Samuel Yagase Bayombe\, Indigenous Leader and Climate Justice Advocate \n\n\n\nThis event includes a special presentation of: \n\n\n\n片丹卞丹己凵冊日工片丹a film by Petna Ndaliko37 min / ProRez / Color and Black & White2023 / DRC-USA \n\n\n\nKATASUMBIKA: The world was shocked to witness the people in eastern DR Congo demand the departure of the UN peacekeepers\, even resorting to force. How can we understand this outrage toward a mission that is supposed to help the people? \n\n\n\nThrough a testimonial approach\, the film reflects on what has been left out of the frame in the colonial project and its legacy. By following the thread of history\, the chain of natural resource extraction\, and the vein of violence\, will the sounds of indigenous resistance be heard? \n\n\n\nJoin frontline leaders from the Democratic Republic of Congo to Turtle Island\, sharing inspiring work they are doing on the ground to address the climate crisis\, conflict in the eastern region\, sexual violence and resource exploitation. \n\n\n\nFriends of the Congo in partnership with the Basandja Coalition is undertaking an eight-city awareness and fundraising tour in the United States from September 23rd to November 3rd. As a part of Friends of the Congo’s seventeenth annual presentation of Congo Week\, we have invited our frontline partners from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) to the United States. They will share their organizing and movement building experiences from the frontlines of the rainforest\, mining communities\, conflict zones and urban centers in the DRC.  \n\n\n\nThe delegation is made up of two members of the Basandja Coalition and their allies. The delegation will visit New York\, Boston\, Washington\, DC\, Atlanta\, Los Angeles\, San Francisco\, Oakland and Chicago.  \n\n\n\nDuring the tour\, the delegation will screen films concerning the Congo Basin Rainforest (exploring the role of Indigenous knowledge and wisdom in combating the climate crisis) and the challenges of mining communities (tying the accelerated quest for critical minerals that power the green and/or clean energy transition to cobalt diggers).  \n\n\n\nThe tour includes a photo exhibit of pictures taken by women (the Mamas) in refugee camps in Eastern Congo. The women have been displaced by what the United Nations describe as the deadliest conflict in the world since World War Two. Since 1996 at least six million Congolese have perished due to the conflict in the Congo. An estimated seven million Congolese have been displaced by the conflict in the Congo. Hundreds of thousands of women have been raped as a war strategy to drive villages from mineral rich lands – minerals that are critical to the modern tech tools like smart phones\, laptops\, video games and a range of other tech and electronic devices. \n\n\n\nThe MamasThe Mamas are fifty displaced women from the Bulengo displacement camp. They come from thirteen villages outside of the city of Goma in the North Kivu province of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. As a part of an empowerment initiative by Yole Africa\, a local cultural organization\, the mamas were trained in photography so they could ultimately document their own stories. Photos from twenty-seven of the fifty women were chosen to be a part of the display and companion book. \n\n\n\nThe VisionThe photo display and companion book are a gift of love from the Mamas to the greater human family. It is a call for a deeper listening—a way for us to enter into a shared space\, to witness and feel the depth of intergenerational colonial trauma alongside the vital and tenacious force of renewal and regeneration that these mamas\, children\, and young artists of the Kivu region bring into their creative practices. Despite the ongoing violence\, their stories are testimonies of strength and the potency of a hope infused with life. It invites us to reflect on the spaces we inhabit\, both physical and emotional. It challenges us to transform sites of pain and trauma into sanctuaries of courage and love\, in ways similar to how the earth herself metabolizes death and transforms it into fruit-bearing life. \n\n\n\nPurposeThe aim of the display is to raise awareness about the conflict and displacement crisis in the Congo and raise funds to support frontline organizations providing relief and support to the displaced women and children. \n\n\n\nAspirationDrawing from this power of place\, of the living soil underfoot and the breathing forest and all within it\, the people of Kivu seek to resist the system of violence normalized by the industry of mineral extraction. As we engage these photos\, may we glimpse into a different future where the interweaving of our collective relations and actions join with our collective memory to overcome generations of bloodshed while retaining the knowledge of our past. \n\n\n\nIf you would like to donate to Friends of the Congo\, click here.

SUMMARY:Locked in the Brick Tower
DESCRIPTION:Doors at 7pm; screening at 8pm \n\n\n\nRoger Muñoz\, Gorgon’s eye (Anti-mother final boss)\, 2023\, 5:52\, film still.\n\n\n\nLocked in the Brick Tower presents nine short films with thematic explorations spanning horror\, prejudice\, and the grotesque. In literary fiction\, the mythical characters who don’t ‘fit’ in society\, who bear the flawed monstrosity that makes them other-than-human\, are relegated to the margins of made-up worlds. They are the outcasts; the ghosts\, ogres\, fairies\, and imperfect gods whose merits and misfortunes serve as moral lessons to a story. Such figures make prominent appearances in works by Muri\, Lydia Kuzak\, Cristobal Cea\, Roger Muñoz\, Taína Cruz\, Martha Colburn\, Andrew Roberts\, and Mauricio Muñoz. Humor and horror become conduits for the taboo\, complete with the more uncomfortable emotions difficult to express in nonfiction for fear of saying the wrong thing\, or seeming improper and vulgar.   \n\n\n\nIn conjunction with the screening\, artists Jiayun Chen and Bingo Fang present a gambling-inspired concession stand featuring horror themed artist cocktails. Additional works in the space include special contributions from Sophie Stark\, Hannah Huntley\, and Libbi Ponce. \n\n\n\nProgram curated by Nahui Garcia.
