DESCRIPTION:Stranger at Home: Xina Xurner\, Young Joon Kwak & Christopher R
 ichmond\n\n\nStranger at Home is a video and performance assemblage that i
 nterpolates a performance by Xina Xurner with Young Joon Kwak and Christop
 her Richmond’s three-channel video installation Slow Dance (2014). Slow 
 Dance follows a central figure discomfited by\, and awkwardly moving throu
 gh and interacting with an unfamiliar\, heteronormative domestic space. Sh
 e contends with the confinements of absent intimacy\, ideas of “home\,
 ” and the slow and subtle doom of everyday gendered ennui and dysphoria.
  The three channels\, originally shown in a gallery setting\, are recontex
 tualized through the Zoom screen format\, imbuing the proceedings with add
 itional layers of distance\, isolation\, anxiety\, and disembodiment. Stra
 nger at Home culminates in Xina Xurner’s doom metal-inspired sonic swirl
  of distortion\, embodying the exhaustion and yearning for intimacy wrough
 t by a year of distancing\, not just from others\, but\, ultimately\, from
  one’s self and one’s domestic and intimate spaces. \n\n\nBios: \n\nYo
 ung Joon Kwak is a LA-based multidisciplinary artist who reimagines bodies
  and the power structures that govern our everyday lives as mutable and pe
 rmeable sites of agency. (youngjoon.com)\n\nChristopher Richmond creates v
 ideos\, photographs\, and drawings that interweave the realism of document
 ary with science fiction and myth. (christopherchristopher.com)\n\nXina Xu
 rner is a noise-dance band with Marvin Astorga and Kwak\, whose performanc
 es combine electronics\, mutated vocals\, and bad drag to create sadical a
 nd sexperimental anthems of transformation\, rebirth\, and renewal. (xinax
 urner.com)\n\nRemote Intimacies is a series of new and experimental perfor
 mances created specifically for online viewing and commissioned and co-org
 anized by the ONE Archives at USC Libraries and the Leslie Lohman Museum o
 f Art in New York. Debuting October 7 on Zoom\, the invited artists will e
 xplore how to sustain intimacy in these highly mediated times and how to i
 magine opportunities for communion across temporal and geographic distance
 s. The series takes its title from scholar Karen Tongson’s theory on the
  powerful resonance of shared consumption and their capacity to “bring p
 eople\, things\, and concepts together\, even if space and time dictates t
 heir dispersal and isolation." Participants include Brontez Purnell (Octob
 er 7)\; Joseph Liatela (November 18)\; and Mikki Yamashiro (December 16). 
 Additional artists for the spring Remote Intimacies program will include K
 atarzyna Perlak (April)\, Dayna Danger (May 6)\, and Alli Logout (June 10)
