Esparza is persistent in staging situations where he attempts to experience a time and space inaccessible to him. Using live performance as his main form of inquiry; site specificity, materiality, memory and (non)documentation are primary tools in interrogating, critiquing and examining ideologies, power structures and binaries that problematize the “survival” process of historicized narratives and the environments wherein people are left to navigate and socialize.

White’s recent series, Study of Repetition to Achieve the New Now, involves customized, individual performances in which the artist investigates fantasy, sexual identity, and the absurdities of routine through scripted and/ or confrontational environments such as wrestling circles and cruising bathrooms within the gallery space.

Scott Benzel - “PART OBJECTS” Interested in the contradictions inherent in mythologized cultural histories, Scott Benzel’s work shows an ongoing fascination with the disjuncture between embodiments of culture - from the classical music score to photographic ephemera - and their accumulated meanings. Benzel’s interventions such as turning a pop musical score upside down to be played by a classically trained quartet and pressing the resulting recording to a lacquer which degrades upon play (Inversion I after Dennis Wilson) explore the processes and contradictions of mass media systems of production alongside the development of collective cultural imaginations and identification. Benzel slips between the roles of visual artist, composer, poet, and curator. He at once inhabits the “culture industry” of easy-to-swallow entertainment postulated by Theodor Adorno and Max Horkheimer and positions himself as its critical dissident. It is not surprising that the histories that Benzel invokes concern nonconformists and anarchists, from basketball misfit Bison Dele to black bloc protests. Benzel’s visual and aural arrangements disrupt cultural orthodoxies and hierarchies, sending objects and viewers on imaginative, often wayward trajectories. His visual, performative, and sound-based artwork has been shown at The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, The Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, The Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis, Blum and Poe, Los Angeles, Human Resources, Los Angeles, The Santa Monica Museum of Art, Santa Monica, CA, The Western Front, Vancouver, BC, Mandrake, Los Angeles.
