Located in the vibrant arts district of Chinatown, Los Angeles, Human Resources was founded by a collective of creative individuals who collaborate to curate exhibits focused on the experimental performative arts. To this end, Human Resources’ May Day event will showcase performances from musical artists, Mad Gregs and Wounded Lion; performance collective My Barbarian; performance artists, Lucy Indiana Dodd, Corey Fogel and Dawn Kasper; and video presentations from Sharon Hayes and W.A.G.E. (Working Artists and the Greater Economy). Drawing upon the celebratory and labor-oriented cultural themes of May Day, Human Resources’ May Day event promotes a festive atmosphere with a labor rights consciousness. The event will begin with video presentations at 7pm. The live music and performance art program begins at 9pm. Admission is free.<br /><br />May Day at Human Resources will converge cutting edge, internationally recognized artists from multiple disciplines. The evening begins with video presentations from New York-based W.A.G.E., an advocacy group that challenges the current economics of the art world from an artist-as-worker perspective, and Sharon Hayes, who utilizes video, performance, and installation to investigate the relations of history, politics and speech to the process of individual and collective subject formation. A special convocation of the new gallery space will be held by My Barbarian, a musical performance trio that explores cross-cultural misadventures in mythology and popular culture. Dawn Kasper continues the program with her investigation of existing and created emotional structure through performance art. Lucy Indiana Dodd uses colorful tapestries, found materials and drawing to structure poetic force of nature performance actions. Musical quartet Mad Gregs follows with their unique blend of vocal and instrumental harmonies. Musician and performance artist, Corey Fogel, then engages the audience with a solo performance incorporating musical improvisation and unpredictable encounters with materials and instruments. The post-garage music of Wounded Lion which has recorded with In the Red, SS Records and Gilongo, closes the performance program. DJ’ing by Anh Do and Ian Marshall will be interspersed throughout the evening.<br /><br />According to co-founder and directing member, Eric Kim, “Our grand opening May Day celebration reflects our commitment to exhibiting diverse performative arts. We aim to increase public accessibility and awareness of the artistic value of these non-traditional art forms by supporting the work of performative artists in a traditional art gallery setting.” Directing member and performance artist Dawn Kasper adds “We are enthusiastic about the creative potential of this space both for the artists and the audience. By highlighting performative art, Human Resources fills an important niche in the Los Angeles art community. Live performance also engages the viewer in uniquely important ways, instigating an immediate and visceral response.”<br /><br />Recognizing the relative absence of art spaces devoted to performance, Human Resources departs from the traditional visual art gallery, to support the expression of art performers by providing them with a gallery venue as well as video and sound archiving of performances that take place there. Human Resources is entirely volunteer run and seeks to foster widespread public appreciation of the performative arts by encouraging maximum community access. Human Resources also serves as a point of convergence for diverse and disparate art communities to engage in conversation and idea-sharing promoting the sustainability of non-traditional art forms.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial;font-size:85%;" >Human Resources<br />510 Bernard Street<br />Los Angeles, CA 90012<br />Web: humanresourcesla.com<br />Email: hmnrsrcs.la@gmail.com<br />Contacts: Eric Kim (213) 453-0539; Kathleen Kim (415) 269-3676</span><br /><p style="font-family: arial;"></p>filhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01075400324643830750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592614556084005807.post-73055973165384920542010-02-18T12:13:00.000-08:002010-02-18T12:28:52.089-08:00Andrew Hahn | Opening<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://wpala.com/images/andrew/Paintings-for-Achillia.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 174px;" src="http://wpala.com/images/andrew/Paintings-for-Achillia.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;"><a href="http://www.wpala.com">Andrew Hahn | Paintings for Achillia</a><br /></span> </p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">February 20 - March 21<br /> Opening Reception, February 20, 7-10pm</span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">WPA is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings and prints by Andrew Hahn. “Paintings for Achillia” features three oil paintings that continue Hahn’s investigation of the female portrait, but here his ghostly cinematic and disembodied faces achieve a grand scale, and the figurative fragmentation of bound feet shows up in two of the paintings. For Hahn, these works are like film stills from a surrealist movie about a female Achilles, a perversion of the Greek myth, that has yet to be made. The paintings’ surface remains relatively flat, though complex with Hahn’s layering techniques of both scraping wet and sanding dry paint, creating filters and blurred lines, and the occasional element of spraypaint, all making the canvases, and the fleshy subject matter, appear attacked.<br />Like in his earlier series of 50 photorealistic watercolors of crime scenes or his feature-length bio-pic on the Unabomber, these new paintings are about the procedural, assembling clues in a documentary fantasy, privileging fiction over fact. The depths of literature as well as the movement of projected film can be allegorized as a motive for Hahn’s mechanics of painting, wherein he has set up his own classical story of fear and seduction, paranoia and vulnerability.<br />Also on display is his varicolored collection of ‘Unfinished Girl’ monotypes. In the context of this installation, the artist has referred to these quickly painted and transferred portraits as “a casting call for various Achillias.” The chance blurring and smearing created in the printing process does much of the work in creating the psychological story of his subjects. These prints are installed in the office alongside the same lithographic press from which they were pulled.<br /><br /> Andrew Hahn lives and works in Los Angeles. </span> </p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Gallery open 12-6pm, Thursday - Sunday or by appointment.</span></p>filhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01075400324643830750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592614556084005807.post-61717168198724374972010-02-09T12:02:00.000-08:002010-02-09T12:16:49.781-08:00New Artist Video | John Tottenham<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.guidedvd.com/images/banner_1_john_t.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 293px; height: 212px;" src="http://www.guidedvd.com/images/banner_1_john_t.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Guide-LA.com is please to announce a new artist video of <a href="http://www.guidedvd.com/video_john_tottenham.html">John Tottenham's</a> performance at Pharmacy Presents: Thursday January 28th at the Mountain Bar in Los Angeles, Chinatown.<br /></span>filhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01075400324643830750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592614556084005807.post-66855166665785235552010-01-29T12:49:00.000-08:002010-01-30T09:59:37.733-08:00Conversation | Adam Janes Studio Visit<span style="font-size:85%;"><a style="font-family: arial;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.guidedvd.com/images/adam_art.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://www.guidedvd.com/images/adam_art.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;">New Conversation | </span><a style="font-family: arial;" href="http://www.guidedvd.com/adam_janes.html">Watch Online Now!</a><br /></span><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >Dennis Hollingsworth visits Adam Janes in his Chinatown studio to catch up on his recent show in Paris and discuss Adam's ongoing sculptural practice.

The cartoonish objects are displayed on wooden crates to form an altar, and a hanging carcass chandelier. The organized chaos is reminiscent of a cluttered new-age shop filled with crystals, trinkets, and tarot cards, each overwhelmed via display but significant in their individual meaning. Like crystals, which can be viewed as abundant glittering gems researched by geologists or as precious conduits for spiritual healing, the candles too can become fetishized depending on the viewer’s inclination.<br /><br />Janes’ sculptural background, a discipline occupied with formal and structural concerns, loosens up in ALTAR ALTER MINI STORAGE. The balance between the completed product and the ever-changing one disrupts the formal obsessions and leaves everything to chance. Over the course of the exhibition, the burning candles will melt into other shapes, rendering the original forms unrecognizable and completing the cycle of total transformation.<br /><br />The Company | 946 Yale Street | Los Angeles, CA 90012<br /></span>filhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01075400324643830750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592614556084005807.post-22868760876323721222010-01-05T10:27:00.000-08:002010-01-05T10:30:28.384-08:00Joe Sola Opening | Happy Lion<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.guidedvd.com/images/happylion_apaintingofabookofridiculouspaintings_6.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 231px; height: 234px;" src="http://www.guidedvd.com/images/happylion_apaintingofabookofridiculouspaintings_6.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Joe Sola: I found some Bic pens by the railroad tracks</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">January 9th through February 13, 2010</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Opening Reception: Saturday, January 9th, 6 – 8pm</span> <span style="font-family:arial;">Performance: Saturday, January 30th, 7:30 pm<br /><br />The Happy Lion is very pleased to present an exhibition with Los Angeles based artist Joe Sola featuring the debut of a new video work, A Short Film About Looking. With his signature dry wit Sola’s latest work is a meditation on looking, as positioned by his characters: the artist, the patron and the gallery. A parallel narrative unfolds as we follow the morning of the two males: the first a scruffy artist type, the second a wealthy consumer. They pause to gaze—at seemingly random but formally chosen objects, shapes, colors. The differences in the lifestyles of these men are clear, and Sola builds this opposition with each edit. Narrative anticipation is fully and hysterically satisfied in a gallery—the obvious authority on looking, as “artist” meets “collector” and is arbitrated by “gallerist”. With an unparalleled ease of economy, Sola deftly dissects the politics of looking.<br /><br />In addition to the video the exhibition will include several works on paper and a special one-night performance. Lush yet minimal, Sola’s recent watercolors convey humorous self-reference, as in the piece titled a painting of a book of ridiculous paintings and another me’n Kippenberger, and refer also to image production as in Industrial film. Sola’s highly physical performances use slapstick, live music, and Dada-ist abstraction to hilarious results. His newest piece, in collaboration with musician Michael Webster, will premiere on January 30th.<br /><br />The Happy Lion is located at 963 Chung King Road in Los Angeles. Gallery hours are Weds through Saturday, 12-6 and by appointment.

His work can be seen as a peculiar kind of storytelling. In Hughes’ world, the practicality of objects is isolated from both use and subject. The care is taken in the synthesis of a unique material language, not in the directness of pointing. His work is at once about the anxiety of effort and the ease of a complex gesture.<br />Hughes’ art encompasses everything from performance, sound, video and film, to various forms of painting and drawing, all siphoned through the expanded definition of sculpture; even his writings have a materialist quality. </span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">David Hughes lives and works in Los Angeles.</span></p> <p style="font-family:arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Gallery open 12-6pm, Thursday - Sunday or by appointment.</span></p>filhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01075400324643830750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592614556084005807.post-30294071084657866172009-11-12T10:13:00.000-08:002009-11-12T10:21:18.432-08:00Terri Phillips | Group Show La Cienegas Projects<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://wpaartgallery.com/images/terri_group.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 217px;" src="http://wpaartgallery.com/images/terri_group.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;">Las Cienegas Projects | Landscape Memories Revisited</span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Please join us this Saturday night, November 14 from 7-10 pm for the opening of 3 new exhibitions including Landscape Memories Revisited, a group show curated by Steven Hull (in the Main Gallery), Patrick Killoran Immergence (in the Project Space) and Derek Boshier Dark Web (in the Back Room).</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:arial;">Las Cienegas Projects is a new artist-run project space and gallery focusing on large-scale, collaborative and project-based artworks by a broad range of local, national and international emerging and mid-career artists.<br /><br />The gallery is located 1 1/2 blocks north of I-10 at 2045 South La Cienega Blvd., Los Angeles CA 90034, between Cadillac and Guthrie.

The artists may address the question of the subject by way of means not limited to formalism, popular imagery, high/low cultural juxtapositions, the esoteric, ephemera, spirituality, art history, and music. Some ‘Newman’ subjects may be living, some have passed on, others are fictitious.

Perhaps conscious or not, this mapping points to an amalgam of culture and shared identity within us.

</a>Tri Repetae - One 24th of a Second</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">WPA, 510 Bernard St, October 24 - November 15<br />
Opening Reception Saturday, October 24, 7-10pm</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">WPA is pleased to announce an exhibition of new work by Fil Rüting,<br />
"Tri Repetae - One 24th of a Second".</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">*Trichromacy, the condition upon which humans perceive color, is a fundamental exploration point in "Tri Repetae". Sampled from iconic film, the videos and prints in this exhibition contain ghost like figures in shades of red, green, blue, moving within a stationary camera space such as a hallway, trash heap, or skate park. These images hint at a sublime subtext within the original sampled narrative releasing the imagery from the restraints of its linear form, by continuously cutting the frame in overlapping time. One 24th of a second is the time in which a single frame of film is seen; these prints as single frames however implicate the multiple frames found in cinematic film. This literal liberation of image and sound from the formal and conceptual constraints of historical linear filmic space succeeds predominantly though this direct relationship to time. Time is represented as historical form, context, and idea. Rüting’s playful reconstructive approach to sampled cinematic imagery implies a sort of visual haiku; instead of three lines of text, we have three colors, three compositions… a tri repetae.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Born in Sydney, Australia, Fil Rüting now lives and works in Los Angeles.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>*The human eye contains three types of color receptors (cones), with different absorption spectra. The RGB (red, green, blue) additive color model used in video and other electronic devices, was derived from this trichromatic perception of color.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Gallery open 12-6pm, Thursday - Saturday or by appointment.</span><br />

This is the second in a series of exhibitions scheduled at WPA, a new artist-run space located in Chinatown. Minelli’s work has long been invested in the quid pro quo between popular media discourse and the individual subject. In this recent series of sculpture and drawing, Minelli renders microphones, boom stands and free standing banners as avatars of public address. However, as opposed to being either “behind” or “in front of” the mic, the voice in these works emerges as stuck somewhere between states of mediation and misrecognition. Minelli’s use of materials and language suggests how distortion itself might be claimed as a site of agency. Be it through quotation, lyric or utterance, the voice in “<img src="http://wpaartgallery.com/images/michael_text" align="absbottom" border="0" height="12" width="130" />” erupts as a shower of alternative somebodies; occupying positions of both call and response.</span></p><p style="font-family: arial;"><span style="font-size:85%;">Gallery open 12-6pm, Thursday - Sunday or by appointment.</span></p>filhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01075400324643830750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1592614556084005807.post-50662191464944989462009-08-30T13:38:00.000-07:002009-08-30T14:00:01.515-07:00Video Screening | LAXART<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://wpala.com/images/WPA-INAUGURAL-EXHIBIT_sm.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 250px; height: 200px;" src="http://www.guidedvd.com/th_fuzzy_set_sm.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:arial;font-size:85%;" >A night of video, curated by Pilar Conde<br />At LAXART<br />Wednesday, September 2, 2009<br />7 pm<br /><br />Featuring work by:<br />Uri Aran / Trisha Baga / Sena Basoz / Ronnie Bass / Susan Black / Mary Walling Blackburn / David Brooks / Sari Carel / Isami Ching / Joshua Clayton / Deville Cohen / Lucy Dodd / Debo Eilers / Maggie Foster / Marc Ganzglass / Tommy Hartung / Nick Herman / Nina Hoffmann and Ryan Harden Brown / David Horvitz / Chris James / Dani Leventhal / Matt Luem / Marylea Madiman / Yasue Maetake / Michael Mahalchick / Abby Manock / Gabriel Martinez / Alexander May / Justin Moore / John Pearson / George Raggett / Alia Raza / Tim Ridlin / Aki Sasamoto / Annie Shaw / Fern Silva / Bad Trucker / Arturo Vidich / Connie Walsh<br /><br />www.laxart.org<br />LAXART<br />2640 S.

This is the first solo exhibit at WPA, a new artist-run space located in Chinatown. The title refers to the granite sculpture placed at the base of the Temple of Luxor in ancient Egypt. This massive sculpture shows baboons raising their hands, singing, and dancing in homage to the rising sun, which they guide and assist in its passage through the gates of day. Just as the Egyptian King Ramesses II appreciated this sculpture, enough to have his name inscribed upon the breast of each baboon, so does Irvin find fascination in this and other mythological concepts and belief systems that he explores and gives form to in this group of paintings.<br /> <br />Charles Irvin makes paintings, drawings, videos, performances and more. Most recently his work was presented at the Hammer Museum as part of Nine Lives: Visionary Artists from L.A.
