and Astri Swendsrud.

¡HAZ LAS TORTILLAS! | Mayte Escobar (D-Block Projects)
Performance, Room FA72A (3 hours, 3PM-6PM)
To engage the community and teach them the process of making handmade flour tortillas.
Allowing the viewer to engage in conversation of the process through hands on experience,
by consuming the tortilla and by also taking a recipe with them that would allow them
to create them at home. This performance stems from the memory I had as a child of
my mother making hand-made tortillas, and how she would constantly catch me eating
them as soon as they were off the “comal”. I grew up eating them but was never taught
how to make them until just recently. My aunt taught me the way my grandmother had
passed it on to her growing up in Mexico. By watching my aunt create the tortillas
from scratch I composed the recipe to be shared and recreated in both English and
Spanish. This performance will spark the conversation of memories that the participants
and viewers have of recipes they remember about their child hood and how it has carried
on as tradition. But the performance is about sharing a dear memory and preserving
my identity as a Mexican American through the labor of making the tortillas and sharing
it with others as I guide them through the process.
THE ADJUNCT KITCHEN | Andrea Bersaglieri (Cerritos College)
Interactive Performance, Room FA64E (3 hours, 3PM-6PM)
This installation and performance deals with the interaction of the concepts of artist/adjunct
faculty/caretaker and uses the kitchen as metaphor for the creative/teaching space.
The kitchen is the practical and social center of a home and it is within this environment
where we may break down the barriers between art and community. The installation and
performance, which both reference the suburban home and garden, will challenge the
notion of art as commodity and highlight the relationship between creating (creator),
nurturing (nurturer) and consuming (consumer), Andrea will be making and giving away
etchings which will be printed in the kitchen and offering homemade soup to visitors.

BLUE LIPS | Lara Salmon (CGU)
Durational Performance, Fine Arts Building (3 hours, 4PM-7PM)
Blue Lips began in Bangkok on my 29th birthday with countless opportunities to buy
sex surrounding me. I was in one of the city’s red light districts intent to have
time with a Thai Ladyboy. Friend and artist, Emily Zuckerman, accompanied me. She
acted as my Tom (masculine lesbian), and I was her Dee (femme lesbian). Together we
found a beautiful Ladyboy with long black hair and blue lipstick. For 2000 Thai Baht
(60 USD) we took her to our hotel room where, instead of sex, she imprinted her blue
lips onto paper for us. In my performance I use the same hue of blue lipstick to perpetuate
her mark. Through my lips I cover as much of this space as I can with Blue. I extend
her mark beyond our one night encounter on December 28, 2016.

notion of art as commodity and highlight the relationship between creating (creator),
nurturing (nurturer) and consuming (consumer), Andrea will be making and giving away

BLUE LIPS | Lara Salmon (CGU)
Durational Performance, Fine Arts Building (3 hours, 4PM-7PM)
Blue Lips began in Bangkok on my 29th birthday with countless opportunities to buy
sex surrounding me. I was in one of the city’s red light districts intent to have
time with a Thai Ladyboy. Friend and artist, Emily Zuckerman, accompanied me. She
acted as my Tom (masculine lesbian), and I was her Dee (femme lesbian). Together we
found a beautiful Ladyboy with long black hair and blue lipstick. For 2000 Thai Baht
(60 USD) we took her to our hotel room where, instead of sex, she imprinted her blue
lips onto paper for us. In my performance I use the same hue of blue lipstick to perpetuate
her mark. Through my lips I cover as much of this space as I can with Blue. I extend
her mark beyond our one night encounter on December 28, 2016.

“LOVE GENERATION” (TAKEN FOR GRANITE, FOR GODS SAKE) | AJ Collins (Elephant)
Performance, Room FA40A (24 mins/approx, 4PM-4:24PM)
Curated by Steven Bankhead. The utopic vision presented to the youth of the "Love
Generation" was a sham almost immediately absorbed by capitalism; a perverse regression
of a meticulously manufactured individualism. To this day, living artifacts of this
era still parade themselves in front of immense crowds for more money than ever before.
These rock stars, now aged, no longer have any semblance to the youthful and rebellious
ideologies they long outlived. They only offer a pacifying nostalgia to cover the
facades of their corporate bodies.
The performance, "the quarry operations manager told me I didn't appreciate the work opportunity he had given me; so, I took four pieces of granite and left (discrete rock music in four acts)", is the result of a collaboration between the artist AJ Collins and Jeggar Sivle. Jeggar will be performing the four acts composed by the two on a faux granite instrument and amplifier housing structure created by AJ.
Act I: configuration of a fractured disposition
Act II: Fever Dream
Act III: pet-rocks In-quarry
Act IV: all the glory of a cave

Art to Mozart’s Symphony No. 41. In this project, I am honoring Mozart’s symphony
as the audio recording. When I’m responding to the symphony, I fall into a trance
of different musical notes on an empty canvas with pigment to create a new language
extension of Mozart Symphony.

Performance, Room FA40A (20 mins, 6PM-6:20PM)
Greg Curtis and Kim Calder will perform Independence Day, a presentation of text

The images and text are sourced from a series of screen captures of reverse shots
taken from various disaster films made in the late 90s/ early 00s (The Core, Volcano,
Day After Tomorrow, Independence Day, Deep Impact, and Judgment Day). By deconstructing
the smooth functioning of shot reverse shot formations within montage, the series
highlights the goal of ideology to construct subjects as “extras” or witnesses to
the unfolding of history, where any catastrophic threat to ideology is imagined as
a threat to all of humanity.
