The rich contribution REDCAT makes to Los Angeles each year is also important for all of us at CalArts, enhancing our ability to engage with you in a vital conversation about the evolution of contemporary culture. As CalArts builds new strategic international partnerships, I’m also struck by the remarkable global influence and reputation of redcat. Our worldwide constellation of artists and colleagues is growing rapidly, greatly bolstering CalArts’ efforts to build more partnerships in Asia, Latin America, Europe and elsewhere. Each contributor to redcat and CalArts helps make these local and international projects possible; from the most generous supporters of our redcat Circle to the individual members who can give small but meaningful amounts to help us thrive. At the start of another exciting year, I want to express my gratitude, and invite others to join us as we grow deeper locally and expand globally.

Founded in 2007 by Alessandro Petti, Sandi Hilal and Eyal Weizman, Decolonizing Architecture Art Residency (daar) is an architectural research studio and residency program currently based in Beit Sahour, Bethlehem. The studio focuses on the contested territories of the West Bank and uses architecture to articulate the spatial complexities within the region. For its first presentation in the U.S., daar presents three critically engaged and highly focused research projects that aim to create an “arena of speculation” about the future of Palestine. Recasting the largely discredited term “decolonization,” their projects consider transformations of abandoned financial, military and legal structures.

Co-presented with The Joyce Theater Foundation New York’s Joyce Theater Foundation comes to Los Angeles for a SoCal edition of The a.w.a.r.d Show!—its wildly successful dance event that offers an alternate definition of “public funding” by granting $10,000 to a regional choreographer with the help of the audience’s vote. Each night for three nights, four different dance artists present their work, followed by facilitated conversation between the artists and the audience, feedback, and the selection of one company to advance to the final round by popular vote. The event culminates on Tickets: 213 237-2800 redcat.org

Featured artists include Randé Dorn, Maria Gillespie, Pam Gonzales, Holly Johnston, Rachael Lincoln and Leslie Seiters, Arianne MacBean, Victoria Marks, Barak Marshall, Bradley Michaud, Karen Schaffman, Christine Suarez, and Meg Wolfe.

This companion screening focuses on landmark films from 1949–1959, including Christopher Maclaine’s apocalyptic Beat comic-tragedy The End, Sidney Peterson’s wittily caustic tale of murder and incest The Lead Shoes, Jane Belson Conger Shimane’s playful image and sound collage Odds and Ends, Bruce Conner’s pioneering found-footage A Movie, and films by Hy Hirsh and Patricia Marx. In person: co-editors Steve Anker, Kathy Geritz and Steve Seid, with book signing. Additional Radical Light screenings will be hosted by lace, Los Angeles Filmforum, and ucla Film & Television Archive. The tour is organized by the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive.

“incredibly emotional (live!) music and admiringly healthy irony toward their own story.” –Delfi Mark Stevens
Betontanc and Umka.lv Show Your Face! music–Theater
January 19–23 West Coast premiere
A virtuosic layering of physical theater, puppetry, dance and live music, this contemporary parable follows Little Branko, a faceless snowsuit transformed by puppeteers into a modern-day Everyman on a dark odyssey through the 20th century. The story takes Little Branko around the world, where he is confronted by other rootless figures—characters either too impetuous or not brave enough to be able to change the world. Show Your Face! is an award-winning collaboration by avant-garde Slovene physical-theater troupe Betontanc, Latvian object-theater masters Umka.lv, and the Slovene pop-electronic group Silence.

Barbara Hammer: Experimenting in Life and Art Los Angeles Premieres
“Generations invites us to pause and actually feel the meaning of our relationships and legacies.” –Sloan Lesbowitz, MIX Festival NYC
Barbara Hammer has made over 80 films in a career that spans 40 years, and is widely celebrated throughout the world as a pioneer of queer cinema. This screening presents the Los Angeles premieres of two of Hammer’s recent works: Generations (2010), made with Gina Carducci, a film about the ongoing tradition of personal filmmaking, the last days of Coney Island’s legendary Astroland, and the aging of the film medium itself; and A Horse Is Not A Metaphor (2009), with music by Meredith Monk, a richly textured filmic tapestry
that reflects upon Hammer’s bout with cancer, her return to her experimental filmmaking roots, and her drive to change illness into recovery through travels and pilgrimages in New Mexico, Wyoming and Woodstock. Hammer’s book, hammer! Making Movies Out of Sex and Life, was published last spring, and she was recently given a career retrospective at The Museum of Modern Art. In person: Barbara Hammer Curated by Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud. Funded in part with generous support from Wendy Keys and Donald Pels.

Three scintillating concerts mix electronic and high-tech sound events with extraordinary instrumental pieces by Iannis Xenakis, the legendary pioneer of music and architecture. Celebrating the way Xenakis forged new paths of hearing and seeing, these three different programs feature new pieces by composers inspired by Xenakis along with the artist’s own multichannel electronic works, multiple realizations of game strategy pieces, landmark instrumental compositions, and his arresting Pour la Paix, a gripping statement about war for actors with choir and electronic sounds. Guest artists include renowned cellist Rohan de Saram, composer Curtis Roads, and remix and sound artist Takuro Mizuta Lippit (aka dj sniff). Detailed program schedule at redcat.org.
Tickets: 213 237-2800 redcat.org

George Herms The Artist’s Life
Courtesy the Artist
“...the missing link between the beats and the hippies.” –The Huffington Post
February 3–5
Courtesy of the Artist
Known as one of the founders of California assemblage and an influential figure of the Beat generation, George Herms premieres a new free-jazz opera that features large-scale sculptural instruments, live and recorded video, and a seven-piece orchestra led by jazz legend Bobby Bradford. In addition to standard instrumentation, a spinning metal staircase and enormous buoy sculptures serve as scenic elements and percussive instruments, played by musicians and the artist himself, as the freely improvised score progresses. Capturing the ethos of Herms’ aesthetic and inspired by 380 boxes and 42 flat files of his own archival material cataloged by the Getty Research Institute, The Artist’s Life is an encompassing reflection with a libretto sourced from the diary entries and notes Herms generated almost daily throughout his 50-year career. The Artist’s Life is part of Pacific Standard Time. This unprecedented collaboration, initiated by the Getty, brings together more than sixty cultural institutions from across Southern California for six months beginning in October 2011 to tell the story of the birth of the L.A. art scene. Pacific Standard Time is an initiative of the Getty. The presenting sponsor is Bank of America.

Mark Dresser Trio
February 7
Los Angeles premiere Since 1983, Mark Dresser has been expanding the sonic possibilities of the double bass through solo and collaborative projects that explore the musical, technical and social dimensions of live and telematic performance. From his early years working with Tim Berne, Anthony Braxton and John Zorn, Dresser has displayed an inquisitive disregard for conventional musical boundaries. In the Mark Dresser Trio, he is joined by “hyperpianist” Denman Maroney and flautist Matthias Ziegler to push their shared artistic obsessions to even greater heights, making use of unconventional amplification and extended techniques to explore new worlds of sound and intuitive collaboration. Mon Feb 7 | 8:30 pm $20 [students $16, CalArts $10]

Association Noa– Cie Vincent Mantsoe San February 9–13
The Sharon Disney Lund Dance Series
West Coast Premiere Raised in Soweto in the 1980s, internationally renowned choreographer Vincent S.K. Mantsoe has forged a distinctive style of “Afro Fusion” dance, energetically mixing the ritual dances and rhythms from his family line of traditional healers with street dancing and popular moves. Now, inspired by the journeys and spirits of the Khoi-San people of Southern Africa, Mantsoe’s newest work brings together five dancers of different cultures—all linked in one way or another—in a powerful piece that traces the history of a people forced from their land, silenced and subjected to continued brutality. Set to a mesmerizing score by famed Iranian vocalist and Sufi music master Shahram Nazeri and interspersed with the 12th-century poetry of Rumi, San draws a line from ancient past to contemporary experience. As Mantsoe reveals the diverse ancestral influences within the dancers’ movements, his company expresses the range of joy, exaltation and melancholic despair that have become the melodies of their bodies today.

and free association, Colburn creates films unlike any other, and the screening spans 16 years of filmmaking with 16 films, including Dolls vs. Dictators (2010), Join the Freedom Force (2009), Myth Labs (2008), Triumph of the Wild (2008), Skelehellavision (2001), Spiders In Love: An Arachnogasmic Musical (2000), and Evil of Dracula (1997), among others. Her work has been shown at the Centre Pompidou, The Kitchen, the Whitney Museum, moma, p.s.1, and numerous major international film festivals.
Martha Colburn’s handcrafted animations explode with an energy, concentration and rapid-fire torrent of ideas that push the medium to its very edges. Colburn’s past works have savagely lampooned pop culture, consumerism, and middle-class attitudes to delirious fantasies, but her most recent films bring more tragic dimensions to bear by focusing on war and icons of American history. Always startling in her use of disparate techniques

Los Angeles premiere Polish-French composer and electric bass player Kasper Toeplitz has developed a body of work in the no-man’s-land between “academic,” electronic composition, and sheer noise. Known for collaborating with such unclassifiable musicians as Zbigniew Karkowski, Dror Feiler, Art Zoyd, Éliane Radigue, Phill Niblock and Ulrich Krieger, Toeplitz makes use of the computer both as a real instrument and as a tool for reflecting on music differently, transforming the musical parameters of pitch data and temporality. Now he teams with dancer and choreographer Myriam Gourfink to create an evening of abstracted, hypnotic movement and sound. Performing live, Toeplitz hybridizes his electronic theorbed bass and explores the frontiers between pitch, noise, oscillations and stillness, while Gourfink uses meticulous internal visualizations to manifest an evolving, interconnected series of micro-movements.

Opening reception: sat, march 5 | 6–9pm
Regarded internationally for his cumulative, research-based projects, Vancouver-based artist Geoffrey Farmer creates contextspecific installations developed from an interest in the relationship between the production of art objects and theories of drama and dramatization. For his first solo exhibition at a U.S. institution, Farmer utilizes the Gallery at redcat as both studio workshop and theatrical space where performers and mechanized objects act out sculptural tableaux according to scripted directives and improvisational
methods. Starting mid-February, Farmer will be in residence developing and directing a new “sculpture play” in and around the gallery. The exhibition begins with a prelude—a discrete series of revolving installations that expose the process of staging a theatrical production in anticipation of the coming attraction. On March 5, the sculpture play premieres with an ongoing cycle of performances with found and composed objects, props, theatrical lighting and recorded sound. Funded in part with generous support from The Audain Foundation.

Body and Mind: The Primordial Cinema of Fred Worden
Sat–Sun Feb 19–20 | 8:30 pm $15 [students $12, CalArts $8]
During the past 20 years, New York-based Fred Worden has redefined cinema with his film and digital works, creating concentrated and transcendent experiences for both body and mind. Worden describes his work as a “cinema of pure energy that bypasses the discursive mind and goes right at the body, in through the eyes, pulsing, to jigger directly the brain’s electrochemical neural flows, seedbed of every single thought or feeling.” In her essay “The Cinema,” Virgina Woolf
asked, “Is there… some secret language which we feel and see but never speak, and, if so, could this be made visible to the eye?” Many filmmakers have approached this question and few have succeeded so powerfully as Worden. His films have been shown at the Whitney Museum, moma, the Centre Pompidou, Pacific Film Archive and dozens of film festivals throughout the world. Films include The Or Cloud (2001), Here Amongst the Persuaded (2004), 1859 (2008), Possessed (2010), and others. In person: Fred Worden Curated by Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud.

In Focus: The Humorous Recent Video Art from Israel, Japan and Mexico Three consulates, each with a rich tradition in Los Angeles, join together to present an array of video works from their respective nations, curated by Paul Young in association with Gabriel Ritter and Yoshua Okon. Exploring both differences and commonalities, this program places a special emphasis on the humorous to reflect upon its lineage within avant-garde circles and its particular importance to a younger generation of contemporary artists, many of whom are responding to the current state of political, economic and ecological upheaval through levity. With approximately three short works from each region by established and emerging artists alike, the program generates laughter from situations more nuanced than vaudevillian, and often in the service of larger thematic, political or formal concerns. A short discussion led by Paul Young on humor in contemporary art practice follows the screening. Tues Feb 22 | 8:30 pm $9 [students $7, CalArts $5]

Eiko & Koma The Retrospective Project March 2–6
The Sharon Disney Lund Dance Series
Collaborative partners for more than 40 years, Eiko & Koma are venerated for their groundbreaking dance works—works that have been performed in gallery spaces, a graveyard, a river—placing their bodies within visual landscapes and evoking near-geologic expanses of time. Stark and elemental, the works use precision and stillness as the duo creates resonant performances of slowly evolving movement and image. Presenting the seminal works White Dance and Night Tide along with their latest piece, Raven, these undisputed innovators offer a powerfully moving triptych that traverses their early career and delves into dark worlds to elicit a profound contemplation of the unyielding forces of nature and human desire.

–Los Angeles Times
The Herb Alpert Creative Music Series
Los Angeles theatrical premieres
Film/video/installation artist Erika Vogt curates this group screening, inviting visual artists who make use of film and video to present their work within the context of a theatrical exhibition venue. In contradistinction to the conditions offered in traditional art spaces—such as the loop, indefinite time, and the itinerant and indeterminate audience—the program opens a dialogue between divergent communities of active makers who have historically overlapped. In doing so, it seeks to foster a heterogeneous debate about artistic concepts and practices, and to challenge some common assumptions, such as, “Experimental filmmakers want to be marginal,” “Artists make a lot of money,” “Experimental filmmakers have a subject when they start and an end in mind,” “Artists blissfully ignore film history,” and “These works have no form!” The screening includes works by artists such as Math Bass, Shannon Ebner, Alice Konitz, Adam Putnam, and Lucy Raven, among others, and by the activist group w.a.g.e. (Working Artists and the Greater Economy). In person: Erika Vogt and Lucy Raven Curated by Erika Vogt. Funded in part with generous support from Wendy Keys and Donald Pels.

Los Angeles premiere John Hollenbeck is one of the rare artists who has mastered the tradition of big band composition while crossing aesthetic borders. His music is a daring mix of pure heart-on-sleeve lyricism and robust rhythmic propulsion, and an audacious example of the power of big band jazz to express emotions well beyond swing-era clichés. The Ensemble is acclaimed for its rich, panoramic orchestral textures that retain the power of its members’ individual voices. Hollenbeck’s 20-piece ensemble consists of top musicians. Among their ranks are a regular Hollenbeck bandmates Matt Mitchell of Claudia Quintet and Theo Bleckmann of Refuge Trio, as well as featured players including saxophonist Tony Malaby, trombonist Jacob Garchik and bassist Kermit Driscoll.

The program presents a selection of shorts along with two of her latest animated works. Inspired by classic “mad scientist” horror films and research into the physiology of insects, Behind the Eyes are the Ears (2010, 26 min.) features a soundtrack by Andrews and Zach Soares and mixes animation, live action and found footage to follow the revolutionary attempts of Dr. Sheri Myes to expand
human perception and consciousness. On a Phantom Limb (2009, 35 min.), with music by John Cooper, invokes the realm of the invisible and takes as its starting point the filmmaker’s near-death experience during a harrowing surgical procedure. Andrews is the recipient of awards and grants from the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts, among others.

Film/Video-Conversation
March 10
CalArts faculty member Sam Durant introduces a screening and discussion of cointelpro 101, a film that exposes illegal surveillance, disruption, and outright murder committed by the U.S. government from the 1950s to the 1970s. cointelpro refers to the official fbi Counter Intelligence Program carried out to surveil, imprison and eliminate leaders of social justice movements, and to disrupt, divide and destroy the movements as well. Through interviews with activists who experienced these abuses first-hand and rare historical footage, the film provides an educational introduction to a period of intense repression and draws relevant lessons for the present and future. Following the screening, Martín Plot moderates a discussion with cointelpro 101 filmmaker Claude Marks of the Freedom Archives, sf8 defendant and organizer Hank Jones, and legendary author and activist Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz.

featuring Danny Holt Known for his no-holds-barred style, Danny Holt’s Piano/Percussion Project places the pianist amid an array of percussion instruments, calling for acrobatic feats of multi-instrumentalism. Holt takes on Andrew Tholl’s hitting things won’t solve your problems (but it might make you feel better), in which influences as diverse as Cecil Taylor, drum ’n’ bass, post-rock and Richard Strauss playfully commingle. By contrast, Sarah Seelig’s meditative Tingsha explores more resonant qualities to create textures of sublime beauty. Oscar Bettison’s new An Inventory of Remnants creates an epic sonic landscape by adding toy piano, melodica, glockenspiel and metronomes. And Liza White pits jazzy piano solo against violent multipercussion tantrums in Ballad of the Mean Angry Jazz Hater Monster!, with an lp player thrown in for good measure. These works are interspersed with CalArts pianists performing other interdisciplinary collaborations.

particular, his sustained interest and commitment to Native American culture has led to the creation of pieces composed for him by several major Native composers. This concert centers on the monumental Concord Sonata by Charles Ives, pairing it with James Tenney’s own meditation on the sonata, and includes works by Native American composers Barbara Croall and Raven Chacon.

Victory Over The Sun: Films and Videos by Michael Robinson
March 28
West Coast Premiere Over the past decade, Michael Robinson has created a singular body of work in film and video that explores the poetics of loss and the dangers of mediated experience. His idea of “narrative” and “experimental” film often includes among its strange and beautiful effects the emotive power of a pop ballad or the crusty images yielded by thrift store vhs tapes. Robinson was recently listed as one of the top 10 avant-garde filmmakers of the 2000s by Film Comment, and his work has been screened in venues such as the International Film Festival Rotterdam, the New York Film Festival, the Wexner Center for the Arts, Anthology Film Archives, and the Tate Modern, among others. He is currently a Visiting Professor of Cinema at Binghamton University. The program includes Victory Over the Sun, Hold Me Now, If There Be Thorns, and the West Coast premiere of These Hammers Don’t Hurt Us, among others.

Theater–The Sharon Disney Lund Dance Series
U.S. premiere redcat takes over the historic Million Dollar Theater on Broadway for this U.S. premiere by renowned New Zealand director and choreographer Lemi Ponifasio. From its ominous beginning to its shattered conclusion, Tempest: Without a Body is a ferocious and awe-inspiring reflection on personal liberty and our current world. Created by Ponifasio for his company mau, this visually stunning work entwines formally precise dancing with elements of theater, Polynesian ritual, and social activism. At the center of this Shakespearean-inflected work is Tame Iti, a Maori activist, who emerges from the midst of an hypnotic vision of heaven and hell to unleash a passionate address on the escalation of state powers and use of unlawful detention. Born in Samoa, where he is a designated High Priest, Ponifasio is a fearless creative force whose distinctive visionary works have been performed at prestigious festivals and venues throughout the world.

BETZY BROMBERG’S VOLUPTUOUS SLEEP SERIES World premiere Betzy Bromberg returns to redcat with Voluptuous Sleep Series (2011), her first film in five years and a mesmerizing two-part 16mm meditation on the nuances of light, sound and feeling evoked through the poetic artifices of cinema. Bromberg’s close-up lens becomes a tool of infinite discovery that reveals as much about our bodily sensations as it does about the natural world. Paired with two intricately composed soundtracks created in collaboration with Dane A. Davis, Zack Settel, Jean-Pierre Bedoyan, Pam Aronoff, James Rees and Robert Allaire, Voluptuous Sleep is an emotional tour de force that serves as a rapturous antidote to the fragmentation of modern life and a new experience of cinematic time and memory. An active filmmaker since 1976, Bromberg has presented work at The Museum of Modern Art, Harvard Film Archives, Anthology Film Archives, London’s National Film Theatre, and the Centre Pompidou, as at well as numerous international film festivals.

Between Disorder and Unexpected Pleasures: Tales from the New Chinese Cinema Film/Video–Jack H. Skirball Series
April 6–9
U.S. and Los Angeles Premieres
In recent years, independent Chinese cinema has experienced a virtual explosion. Digital media have allowed filmmakers to be bolder, more daring, and to explore hybrid forms of documentary and fiction, or mix found and live footage, while playing with novel formal strategies. Independent Chinese cinema has also come of age. Reaching beyond nostalgia and social protest, it plumbs surprising corners of Chinese reality with humor that is at times light, dark, saucy, dry, raunchy or conceptual. Expect the unexpected.
Zhu Wen: Thomas Mao (Xiao Dongxi)
Li Hongqi: Winter Vacation (Hanjia)
Wed Apr 6 | 8:30 pm
Thur Apr 7 | 8:30 pm
One of the most original voices of postsocialist China, novelist/filmmaker Zhu Wen has crafted, for his third feature, a droll, surreal and ironic tale in which East meets West… or does it? Thomas is a painter trekking through the grasslands of Inner Mongolia, and Mao the scruffy “innkeeper” who lodges him. Gradually, what appears to be “reality” shifts. Who is the butterfly, who is the philosopher? 02
Liu Jiayin: Oxhide II (Niupi II) Fri Apr 8 | 8:30 pm
In 2004, at 23, Liu Jiayin stunned the world by shooting Oxhide in CinemaScope in her parents’ 50-square-meter apartment. She is back at redcat with an even bolder “sequel.” More tightly constructed—nine shots that go around a kitchen/workshop/dining table in 45-degree increments, performing a complete 180-degree match—Oxhide II is also dryly humorous, intelligent and insightful, deconstructing the dynamics of a family in crisis.
Slackers in Inner Mongolia meet the poetry of the absurd. In a dreary little northern town, kids have nothing to do… while the adults are wily or apathetic. For his third feature, poet/filmmaker Li Hongqi effortlessly leads the viewer through a series of breathtaking tableaux in which tension accumulates and then releases in unexpected, and often wickedly funny, ways. 03
Hao Jie: Single Man (Guangyun) Sat Apr 9 | 3:00 pm
“This is a strange and delightful thing from China: a sex comedy, bawdy and a little raunchy, about four elderly farmers… all non-professional actors playing fictionalized versions of themselves. New director Hao Jie, with a bit of Boccaccio and a dollop of Rabelais, reveals a side of rural China you’ve probably never seen before… Chinese indie cinema at its most wryly entertaining.” –Vancouver International Film Festival

California E.A.R. Unit
April 10
Visually, theatrically and electrically charged compositions form the latest evening from the California e.a.r. Unit, Los Angeles’ adventurous new music ensemble. Highlighting internationally renowned Portuguese composer Miguel Azguime, the Unit performs the pre-composed electronic sounds and live electronic strategies that fill the gap between words and music in his theatrically driven On Music: Literally Speaking. Chris Tonkin’s Widdop, Phaetons, Relic draws on three poems by Ted Hughes to inform compositional features such as gesture, timbre and organization for each of its three movements. Live electroacoustic manipulations of the sounds of teacups, playing cards, pocket watches and children’s songs entwine with projections informed by lesser-known iterations of Alice in Wonderland in David Dvorin’s haunting new work As Alice. And rounding out the program, Shaun Naidoo’s stark Nothing Left to Burn twists and warps the sounds of the trio, and added melodica, to evoke the devastating fire that consumed the mountains above Los Angeles.

A splendid, original experiment on how to translate urban texture on the screen. Huang Weikai collected more than 1,000 hours of footage shot by amateurs and journalists in the streets of Guangzhou. He then selected 20-odd incidents, reworked the images into quasi-surreal grainy black-and-white and montaged them to create a kaleidoscopic view of the great southern metropolis, in all her vibrant, loud and mean chaos.
Jia Zhangke: I Wish I Knew (Hai Shang Chuan Qi) Sat Apr 9 | 9:30 pm
China’s most significant filmmaker of the decade has done it again with another alluring hybrid of documentary and fiction. Here Jia weaves a dense texture between amorously shot footage of contemporary Shanghai and the films the city created or inspired. Peeking through the gaps of an architecture menaced by permanent urban renewal, he finds the traces of a romantic or brutal past, and echoes the voices of survivors or those who went into exile.

Eija-Liisa Ahtila: Where is Where?
April 18
Los Angeles premiere | Finland, 2009, 55 min., 35mm In her critically lauded experimental narrative Where is Where? (Missä on missä?), Finnish multimedia artist Eija-Liisa Ahtila has designed a visually mesmerizing four-image split-screen to evoke and deconstruct the murder of a young French boy by two Algerian playmates during the Algerian War of Independence in the 1950s. Ahtila’s fragmented mise en scène interweaves the elements of the tragedy originally recounted in Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth—moribund colonialism, the arid seduction of the Algerian landscape—with a postmodern
sense of moral ambiguity as it comes to haunt a European poet, embodied with mystery and flair by Aki Kaurismäki’s muse, actress Kati Outinen. The evening also includes earlier shorts by Ahtila, whose installations and film works have been presented internationally at venues such as The Museum of Modern Art, Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume in Paris, the Sundance Film Festival, and the Marian Goodman Gallery. In person: Eija-Liisa Ahtila Presented in collaboration with the Finnish Film Foundation, Helsinki. Curated by Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud.

April 22–June 19
Opening reception: Thur April 21 | 6–9pm Through a wide range of work that spans drawing, sculpture, video and artist books, Seoul-based artist Kim Beom contemplates a world in which perception is radically questioned. His visual practice is characterized by deadpan humor and absurdist propositions that playfully and subversively invert expectations. By suggesting that “what you see” may not be what you see, Kim reveals the tension between internal psychology and external reality, and relates observation and knowl-
edge as states of mind. For the exhibition at redcat, Kim presents a recent series of sculptural tableaux called The Educated Objects (2010) that explore social education and developmental psychology, along with drawings and recent videos. In conjunction with the exhibition, redcat is publishing a catalogue focusing on the artist’s extensive body of drawings made since the mid-1990s. This exhibition is made possible through collaboration with the Cleveland Museum of Art. Funded in part with generous support by Stacy and John Rubeli.

Pat Graney Company: Faith Alpert Award Artist–The Sharon Disney Lund Dance Series
Highlighting the Alpert Award in the Arts
April 28–May 1 Los Angeles premiere
Thanks to a national American Masterpieces program, Alpert Award-winng choreographer Pat Graney is restaging seminal dances of breathtaking stagecraft from a rich span of her creative life, offering a mid-career survey of a masterful artist and an influential choreographic voice. Throughout her 30 years of innovation, the Seattle-based artist’s vision of dance has reached widely, and her contemporary movement-based works have drawn vocabulary from sources as varied as ballet, martial arts, gymnastics, and American Sign Language. More importantly, she has developed sumptuous visual languages, using qualities of time, light and ritual to sculpt her dances into powerful meditations on human action and culture. In Faith, performed by an all-female cast, Graney’s complex manipulations of composition and theatrical form allow her to explore potently re-imagined representations of history, religiosity and transcendence. Funded in part with generous support from The Herb Alpert Foundation. The Alpert Award in the Arts, a fellowship program that supports innovative practitioners in the fields of dance, film/video, music, theater and visual arts, is administered by CalArts on behalf of The Herb Alpert Foundation.

Specks of Existence: Hartmut Bitomsky’s Dust

Los Angeles premiere Through a web of interviews, poetic ruminations and cinematic investigations, Hartmut Bitomsky’s Dust (2007) serves as a philosophical, factual and fanciful examination of the smallest objects that can be perceived, particles that permeate every aspect of life. Of the titular subject of this work Bitomsky notes, “Wherever we go, it has already beaten us; wherever we turn, it follows us. It is our past, our present and our future… It gets inside us, we shed it… It nestles right into the despair of its own existence.” Known for his theoretical depth and originality, Bitomsky has produced a major body of documentary essay films and critical writing on cinema for 40 years, is an influential teacher, and served as the dean of CalArts’ School of Film/Video from 1993 to 2002. Dust and his earlier films have been shown at festivals throughout the world. In person: Hartmut Bitomsky Curated by Steve Anker and Bérénice Reynaud.

Natascha Rockwin
What happens when you take four highly opinionated, strongwilled and creative composer/musicians and put them in a band together? You could have a volatile problem… or you could have Gutbucket. The twelve-year-old Brooklyn-based quartet pushes composer-driven, art-rocktainted chamber jazz into new terrain and boldly proclaims its voice. The Gutbucket Chamber Orchestra premiered in early 2009, when Gutbucket brought together an ensemble of multi-instrumentalists to realize the elaborate orchestrations on its 2009 release A Modest Proposal. Gutbucket’s West Coast debut marks the long-awaited follow-up to that performance, and the celebration of their most recent recording Flock, which continues to explore this larger ensemble sound. The cutting-edge orchestra, without the usual string players, teams Gutbucket with select CalArts players—on woodwinds, vibes, keyboards, organ, cello, percussion, electronics, prepared instruments, noise toys, multiple basses and electric guitars—to achieve a huge, unconventional yet harmonious sound.

Los Angeles Premieres Four programs present a kaleidoscopic view of a career that has brought astonishing and moving additions to musical culture. Now in her 80th year and one of the great living composers, Russia’s Sofia Gubaidulina makes a rare U.S. appearance to share an intensity unrivaled in today’s contemporary music scene. Gubaidulina’s unique artistic contribution has gently but undeniably asserted itself, and her recent compositions celebrate with ever-greater vitality her expressive mastery. Each program offers a small vision of what Gubaidulina’s output can achieve: A Sunday afternoon program pairs short
films scored by Gubaidulina, including The Cat that Walked by Himself and The Scarecrow, and concert works written for children, but enjoyable by all. Sunday evening features works that show her fascination with the mystery of percussive sound, her adaptations of ancient musical impulses to new expressive ends, and her searing, unforgettable portrait of a soul’s journey in Concerto for bassoon and low strings. Two final programs on Monday and Tuesday include hallmark contributions to the concerto form—Introitus, for piano and chamber orchestra, and Detto 2, for cello and chamber ensemble.

The Sharon Disney Lund Dance Series
June 2–5
World premiere Los Angeles choreographer Meg Wolfe’s powerful full-evening work propels a quartet of dancers through unsustainable acts of balancing—with the joy, anger, angst, sweat and hell of bodies as its fulcrum. Alongside performers Gregory Barnett, Doran George and Taisha Paggett, Wolfe delves into the far reaches of opposing forces to create a choreographic language from the exchange of extremes: from chaos to control, pleasure to pain, tension to release. trembler.shifter displays a powerful rejection of individual certainty to unearth the structural shifts that rule us, from the intimate pull of emotions to the vast pull of gravitational forces. Performed to an original score by composer Aaron Drake, the full-out dancing collides with a destabilized sonic environment of rhythmic surfaces, sampled slide guitar, trembling cymbals, and pop/classical mashing as it pushes toward even greater volatility.

For her first solo exhibition in the U.S., Dublin-based artist Jesse Jones, whose work focuses on the political and social history of cinema, presents a selection of recent film/video works alongside a newly commissioned work. Produced in collaboration with CalArts students during a residency in Los Angeles, Jones’ latest project uses the pioneering Russian theater director Vsevolod Meyerhold’s studies in biomechanics as a point of departure. Situated at the intersection of constructivist theater and its eventual appropriation by mass culture à la Busby Berkeley, the
new project is presented alongside such works as The Spectre and the Sphere (2008), a recent film that explores the ideological echoes of Marxism through a ghostly performance of the socialist anthem The Internationale on theremin by Lydia Kavina, the niece and skilled protégé of the instrument’s inventor Lev Theremin. Brought together at redcat for the first time, Jones’ works reflect her greater interest in retrieving the artifacts of cultural history and revolutionary politics through the lenses of performance, music and film. Funded in part with generous support from Culture Ireland, and Stacy and John Rubeli.
