MARK TRIBE
Port Huron Project 4: We Are Also Responsible
Based on a speech originally given on May 2, 1971 by César Chávez
South Lawn, Exposition Park, Downtown Los Angeles
Free and Open to the public
Creative Time with LACE presents Mark Tribe’s Port Huron Project 4: We Are Also Responsible, the fourth in a series of reenactments that draw upon the traditions of political demonstration, protest, and public address by restaging speeches from the New Left movements of the 1960s and 70s.
This public performance features an impromptu speech delivered by César Chávez at Exposition Park on May 2, 1971. The speech encourages underprivileged farm workers to fight for economic change rather than against the poor in other countries. Artist Ricardo Dominguez will deliver the speech.
Though the speech makes direct reference to the Vietnam War and the concurrent Labor Rights movement, like the other reenactments in the Port Huron Project the speech was selected for its contemporary relevance-it contain arguments, declarations, and calls to action that are equally evocative and vital today. "The goal was to use the speeches not just as historical ready-mades or conceptual-art explorations of context," Tribe says, "but also as genuine form of protest, to point out with the help of art how much has changed, yet how much remains the same."
This project is commissioned by Creative Time as a part of its public art initiative Democracy in America: The National Campaign. Inspired by artists, this series offers them platforms for addressing the shifting nature of democracy in this country. For further information on the Port Huron Project go to porthuronproject.net.

Representing three decades of excellence with a toast to the future!
This year LACE’s Annual Benefit Art Auction on Thursday, May 22, 2008 celebrated our 30th anniversary. With Ann Magnuson as our MC, Re:PRESENT featured both silent and live auctions and special entertainment to link LACE’s historical foundations with the exciting new cultural production abounding in our city right now.
Since 1978, LACE has had a simple mandate – to enrich the cultural landscape of Los Angeles and contribute to global culture. In the last thirty years LACE has commissioned and presented the works of over 5,000 artists and has worked with artistic pioneers such as Laurie Anderson, Chris Burden, Mike Kelley, Suzanne Lacy and Bruce and Norman Yonemoto. We have become a force in the community and remain committed to championing the role of the artist as an agent for positive change. All Re: PRESENT proceeds ensure that we continue to deliver a safe haven that allows for both emergent and established artists to push boundaries, expand the definition of contemporary art practices and inspire the public imagination.
ALLAN KAPROW 18 HAPPENINGS IN 6 PARTS
LACE was proud to present a re-invention of Allan Kaprow’s seminal Happening –18 Happenings in 6 Parts – originally presented in 1959 at the Reuben Gallery in New York. The original work featured a cast of performers including Allan Kaprow, with Rosalyn Montague, Shirley Prendergast, Lucas Samaras, Janet Weinberger, Robert Whitman, Sam Francis, Red Grooms, Dick Higgins, George Segal, and others.
To re-invent this work in 2008, LACE invited artist Steve Roden to assemble a creative team, which includes Rae Shao-Lan Blum, Michael Ned Holte and Stephanie Smith. The team is joined by performers Simone Forti, Steve Irvin, Flora Wiegmann with Elonda Billera and Skylar Haskard creating key props and installations. Special guests will join the performance each night including Roy Dowell, Renee Petropoulos, Justin Lowman, Elizabeth Leister, Fran Siegel, Brad Eberhard, Mark Dutcher, Doug Harvey, Steve DeGroodt, David McDonald, and Martin Kersels.
This new vision of the work is grounded in the team’s intensive research and dialogue, based on Kaprow’s original notes and writings. “I’d like to be sure that Kaprow’s intentions and ideas surrounding the work are not lost in attempts to replicate a historical moment.” (Steve Roden)
Allan Kaprow 18 Happenings in 6 Parts was timed to coincide withthe exhibition Allan Kaprow—Art as Life, on view at the Geffen Contemporary at The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA through June 30, 2008, and organized by the Haus der Kunst Munich, and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. The curatorial concept for this exhibition was developed in close collaboration with the recently deceased artist, and curators Stephanie Rosenthal (Munich) and Eva Meyer-Hermann (Eindhoven).
One aspect of this large-scale retrospective is the re-invention of many of Kaprow’s Happenings, which will take place at 29 local institutions throughout Southern California. Thanks to a generous grant from the Getty Foundation, MOCA has invited Los Angeles-area art schools, academic institutions, arts organizations, museums, and artist-run spaces to reinvent a diverse selection of Kaprow’s Happenings.
Happenings are coordinated by The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, and made possible by generous support from the Getty Foundation. Allan Kaprow—Art as Life is organized by the Haus der Kunst, Munich, and the Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven. Concept of the exhibition by Stephanie Rosenthal and Eva Meyer-Hermann.

Brenton Maart, Factory Crossword, 2008
On the Risk of Others The Photosyntax of Brenton Maart
Curated by Ultra-red
In recent years Ultra-red has joined with community groups in multiple cities in the U.S. and Canada to explore strategies for collective organizing around the AIDS epidemic. They have held these events in art museums, galleries and art schools in order to investigate the potential role such institutions may play in local efforts to address the crisis. LACE has hosted Ultra-red on a number of occasions in its development of these projects and in doing so has participated actively in our investigations. The collaboration between LACE and Ultra-red on this exhibition of works by Brenton Maart marks a significant step in this institutional analysis.
Brenton Maart, a South African gay man of mixed racial heritage, was born and raised when the Apartheid regime was in power. Consequently, he is intimately acquainted with how state regulation of race and sexuality shapes intimate emotional, psychological and physical experiences. In the post-Apartheid era he and other artists of his and earlier generations, such as Bernie Searle, Anton Kannemeyer, Zanele Muholi, Conrad Botes, Diane Victor, and Nicholas Hlobo, have begun investigating the desires, hopes, histories and practices that define the contemporary sphere of sexuality in South Africa. This work inventories the ideological practices that shape how South Africans imagine and re-imagine themselves. While the trajectories they follow may be particular to South Africa, they are nevertheless resonant with comparable efforts in the United States.
Acknowledgement: Maart’s artwork, Factory Crossword, was commissioned for Make Art/Stop AIDS, an exhibition of HIV/AIDS related art work from the United States, South Africa, Brazil and India. The exhibition, scheduled to travel to venues in each of the participating countries, is having its first showing at the Fowler Museum in Los Angeles (February 23 – June 15, 2008). Concerned that Maart's work would present a barrier to the attendance of school groups to the exhibition—a target audience—the Fowler was hopeful it might be presented elsewhere in Los Angeles. Fortunately, LACE offered to show the piece, along with other works by Brenton Maart. The Fowler has generously sponsored this exhibition by providing financial and logistical support.

EL CUBO (Cube)
Collective project by Camilo Ontiveros and Felipe Zuniga
Cube explores notions of social architecture through a transportable sound sculpture
whose sound track responds to site-specific locations.
Cube is a transformable object that articulates experiences in its interior and its exterior. Cube exist thanks to the conjunctional initiative of different creators with the goal of provoking the irruption of different sonorous gradients, incessant voices, emiferal chronics and ambiental episodes in the city .
Unstable, Cube unfolds and loses its defined limits only to replicate the extreme growth from the surroundings to which it tries to echo. Constructed of wastes, signs of the consumption economy, Cube is a kamikaze version of its neutral and white predecessor.
Cube unfolds its aesthetic potential in concrete spaces as much as imaginary; it is drop-down architecture, a sonorous intervention in the noise of the city, a specific-social cartography that projects to the public, between the public, towards the public.
El Cubo is part of Street Address, an ongoing storefront series at LACE
that offers a 24/7 art experience to Hollywood Boulevard passersby.

About me:
LACE (Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions) is a nonprofit contemporary art center located in the heart of Hollywood. Internationally recognized as a pioneer among art institutions, LACE curates and produces art and events that inspire the public imagination and engage with the timely issues that shape local and global life.
LACE distinguishes itself by serving as a laboratory for artistic research and dialogue and unfettered, positive creative expression, where artists -- including newly-emerging and under-represented artists as well as more established artists -- have the freedom and the opportunity to take risks.
Founded in 1978 by a group of thirteen artists and steeped in principles of grassroots community organizing and social change, LACE was committed from the start to presenting works of art in all media -- including the then-experimental media of performance art and video. Having now found a place in art museums and institutions around the world, what was once considered experimental in the late '70s is now part of the canon. And the once unknown and untested artists who found support and encouragement at LACE are now among this generation's most influential and admired artists, including Laurie Anderson, John Baldessari, Chris Burden, Karen Finley, Dan Graham, Mike Kelley, Barbara Kruger, Ana Mendieta, Tony Oursler, Adrian Piper, Rudy Perez, Nancy Rubins, Ed Ruscha, Jim Shaw, Diana Thater, Jorge Pardo, Bill Viola, and Bruce Yonemoto.

AGAINST THE GRAIN
12 June - 10 August 2008
Curated by Christopher Russell
LACE is pleased to present Against the Grain, curated by Los Angeles-based artist Christopher Russell, as part of LACE's thirtieth anniversary celebration. Russell looks back on a seminal exhibition from LACE's history, Against Nature: A Group Show of Work by Homosexual Men (1988), curated by Dennis Cooper and Richard Hawkins.
Cooper and Hawkins' original show looked at decadent seclusion and syphilitic deterioration as modes of social rebellion and was informed by J.K. Huysmans' novel À Rebours. This exhibition exposed the margins of the already marginalized world of gay men. The curators translated Huysmans through the lens of AIDS in a politically and socially conservative era, and displayed rich, decadent and inherently morbid work. They reacted against aesthetics that seemed polemically overwrought, privileging activism over the individual.
Now, Russell looks at the influence of this lineage. Beyond the Fin de Siecle, beyond AIDS activism, he asks after the influence of radicality among a new generation of artists. Using Against Nature as a point of departure, Russell has selected 14 local artists that seek a similar critical position in our social climate today -- Tom Allen, Brian Bress, Robert Fontenot, Wendell Gladstone, Matt Greene, Julian Hoeber, Brian Kennon, John Knuth, Amy Sarkisian, Ryan Taber, Ami Tallman, Kelly Sears, Anna Sew Hoy and Cheyenne Weaver. These artists undertake themes of decadence within a present day context.
There has been a lot of talk around the gothic and the decadent in contemporary art. However much of the current generation exploring these ideas has not made the historical connections that seem common among artists of the 1980's. This show attempts to draw a tighter line between varied approaches to the gothic and the decadent, pointing out recent, local connections but also establishing a lineage: Huysman's novel, A Rebours, translates not just to Against Nature, but also to Against the Grain.
Full color catalog available ($25). LACE members receive a 10% discount.
This exhibition has been made possible through the generous support of The Pasadena Art Alliance and The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Additional support for LACE and its programs comes from the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs, The Getty Foundation, The James Irvine Foundation, Jockey Hollow Foundation, Los Angeles County Arts Commission, Morris Family Foundation, Stone Brewing Co., and the members of LACE.
