My Barbarian’s Broke People’s Baroque People’s Theater

Human Resources presents My Barbarian’s Broke People’s Baroque Peoples’ Theater, a residency in the form of a gallery installation that includes new videos, sculptures, and a performance environment. The project highlights the paradoxes of an art practice founded in critique, which nonetheless relies on economic forces that are worthy of serious criticism. In this time of spectacle and disparity, excess and poverty, the baroque figures as an ornate frame that contains all of these extremes. My Barbarian performs a variety of styles within this frame; camp drag, baroque opera, communist drama, countercultural performance and world theater all accumulate into a set of narratives that assimilate too much information. Enacting this accumulation, the group developed characters such as “Shakuntala DuBois” and “Cassandra Wasserstein Shakespeare,” masked figures who are trapped within cyclical forces they can foresee but cannot change.

MGM Grand: NUT

NUT is structured like a nut: a fruit with a skin, meat, and a seed. NUT speaks to our relationship with dance, as practice and as a discipline. NUT is MGM’s first dance created during the winter months. It questions the aesthetics of produced dance, and how it is expected to affect an audience and a venue. NUT takes cues from diverse performance cultures and historical influences such as Motown, elements of the mid-90’s NYC dance improvisation scene and Tommy DeFrantz's dance class for undergraduates at MIT.

mal-dis-tri-bu-tion – Scott Benzel

Human Resources LA 410 Cottage Home, Los Angeles, CA

mal-dis-tri-bu-tion

n. Faulty distribution or apportionment, as of resources, over an area or among a group. Maldistribution is a term generally applied to economic disparity: It most often refers to

the inequal distribution of resources or capital.

It is a term that also suggests ‘bad’ distribution- a common complaint of producers of cultural artifacts: records, films, mass-produced objects. In this context, it refers to a lack of wide commercial availability of a specific product, usually through the fault of the distributor. Maldistribution has poor consequences for mass-produced objects and good consequences for their opposite in the realm of distribution: objects of art.

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.
