May Day Eve: Re-Opening Event

Human Resources LA 410 Cottage Home, Los Angeles, CA

Human Resources officially re-opens at its new Chinatown location, the former Cottage Home Gallery. On the eve of May Day, the re-opening event celebrates the inclusion of performance diversity with a full program of innovative theater, dance, performance art and music. The performance program begins with the dance collective, WIFE, founded and choreographed by Jasmine Albuquerque, Kristin Leahy, and Nina McNeely. Multi-faceted artist and performer, Asher Hartman, whose work engages a wide range of mediums including theater, painting and video, follows with a presentation of his thirty minute play, “The All Stars of Non-Violet Communication.” Experimental prog rock duo, Totally Serious, comprised of Jesse Appelhans (Modern Drummer Magazine’s Top Ten Prog Drummer) and bassist, Eric Kiersnowski, plays a set. Artist Paul Waddell, who has shared his boundary-pushing interactive performance nationally, also performs. Waddell is followed by the uplifting musical sounds of artist and musician Daniela Sea, Will Schwartz (of Imperial Teen), Patty Schemel and Bo Boddie Band. The program ends with a dance performance choreographed by widely acclaimed Ryan Heffington featuring the Ladyboys of Sweaty Sundays. A homemade soda by Eden Batki will be available for purchase throughout the evening. Doors open at 7pm. Admission is free.

Vessel: Suzanne Wright and Tony Payne

Human Resources LA 410 Cottage Home, Los Angeles, CA

Artist Curated Projects is pleased to present the work of Tony Payne and Suzanne Wright. Each artists' work is inherently concerned with the body though their approach to the subject is vastly different.
Using text, Tony Payne’s work explores both the actual letterforms and their various levels of context - the text / image is rendered in a painterly fashion - using hand made materials (pigment) with elements directly related to the body (it's host, the interior), saliva, blood, semen. Words (often parts of lyrics, found text or elements of the artist's dreams) subconsciously emerge to become subjects. The letters somehow both stand for, and come from the body, mirroring the struggles (the elation, the power) within.

Divine Violence

Human Resources LA 410 Cottage Home, Los Angeles, CA

Why are we attracted to violence? Why are we repulsed by it?
Can we find representations of the sort of invisible, systemic, “objective” violence that Zizek articulates in his book Violence? Does that help anything? Is the “dialectic of concealment and revelation,” as Maggie Nelson writes, crucial to our understanding (and mitigation) of violence?
Is some form of violence helpful or even necessary to achieve social or political change? In other words, can violence ever be justified (something Walter Benjamin does under the aegis of Divine Violence)?

Divining Power
