Divorcio USA, A Night of Recent Work by Jacinto Astiazarán, Hosted by AFTA
Human Resources presents Divorcio USA, a night of recent work by Jacinto Astiazarán hosted by the curatorial collaborative AFTA (“Art For The Americas”). Mexico City-based artist Jacinto Astiazarán will screen two new video projects, which introduce his investigation into mutual responsibilities in cultural relations between Mexico and the U.S. While assimilation continues its progressive adaptation in both directions, these works highlight some of the mutations that can inevitably develop as part of this evolution. Though formally very different, the two videos fill in gaps for each other and create a platform to contemplate underlying problematics of exchange.

Dynasty Handbag’s Los Angeles Premiere of Eternal Quadrangle w/ Performances by DH and Anna Oyxgen
This latest green screen adventure finds Dynasty Handbag on a dating game show where she must choose between 4 contestants vying for a spot in her vast cosmic emptiness. The bachelors are: an aggressively ambitious professional golfer, a hard-luck stray dog, a disembodied brain, and, of course, the grim reaper himself. All have attractive qualities and perhaps sustainable methodologies for dealing with life, but must she choose just one? And why are these her only choices?
