Bread, wood, paint July 2019presented at Ante-Scriptum curated by&nbsp; Ariana Hess and Noah Fields&nbsp; Siblings gallery (aka The Condo Association) Chicago, ILThis piece presents a landscape, an emotional and sculptural landscape. We inherit from our upbringing an emotional structure that we repeat over and over, because it is all that we know. We must undo what it does to us in the present. We must rewire our brain, unlearn, un-know, make space to know something different so that, in this case, the experiences, the breadcrumbs, aren’t all that we expect of relations. The repetition of old, salvaged bits of bread on the brink of decay presents a poetics of grief, a ritual of letting go, a performance of healing trauma. This assemblage makes for a much different, more beautiful landscape than any crumb, a learned emotional structure transmuted within this open process. “Breadcrumbs (2019) wouldn’t be out of place as a visual addendum to Barthes’s A Lover’s Discourse. Rebecca Ladida’s minimalist sculpture poses the illusion of direction within the disorientation of love: the visual gesture of crumbs leading you on, yet trailing off... A lover’s tease leaving you hungry.” - Noa/h Fields, co-curator of Ante-Scriptum, poet, artist https://rebeccaladida.com/Failings-Habitats-2018 Tue, 23 Feb 2021 19:57:37 +0000 Rebecca Ladida https://rebeccaladida.com/Failings-Habitats-2018 Failings &amp; Habitats (2018)&nbsp;InstallationVan, astroturf &amp; plastic flowers, scent, audio, live performative readingBubbly Creek Performance Art AssemblyDfbrl8r Gallery, Bridgeport, Chicago, Illinois, USA, land of the&nbsp;Bodéwadmiké (Potawatomi Nation) <img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/704efe695163ba9f0b79b426123d620d56b49e68b462d17baedda33adff29e32/File_009.jpeg" data-mid="101940821" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/704efe695163ba9f0b79b426123d620d56b49e68b462d17baedda33adff29e32/File_009.jpeg" /><img width="5184" height="3456" width_o="5184" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/5b88e7dee3d74e5b4b37abb06120c429f6e300fb9198980ec38eea143420260b/201806_Plants-and-Animals-EXHIBITION_The-Learning-Machine_photos-by-Andrei-Venghiac_2793.jpg" data-mid="100817118" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/5b88e7dee3d74e5b4b37abb06120c429f6e300fb9198980ec38eea143420260b/201806_Plants-and-Animals-EXHIBITION_The-Learning-Machine_photos-by-Andrei-Venghiac_2793.jpg" /><img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/43cc8c85902be532b0a5f172a4888d7b227f80031329c9f975e496493b6a1157/File_011.jpeg" data-mid="101940823" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/43cc8c85902be532b0a5f172a4888d7b227f80031329c9f975e496493b6a1157/File_011.jpeg" /> <img width="5184" height="3456" width_o="5184" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/d5c9af08abaa1159196d9440cd0bc418c4fd34f4952761c3a9a61eaae579dd59/20180609_DFBRL8R_Bubbly-Creek_Rebecca-Ladida_photo-by-Andrei-Venghiac_429.jpg" data-mid="100818559" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/d5c9af08abaa1159196d9440cd0bc418c4fd34f4952761c3a9a61eaae579dd59/20180609_DFBRL8R_Bubbly-Creek_Rebecca-Ladida_photo-by-Andrei-Venghiac_429.jpg" /><img width="5184" height="3456" width_o="5184" height_o="3456" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/419c73fd6a787c636b630272c1f124e8caaceb912e21d402808600611b5c0957/201806_Plants-and-Animals-EXHIBITION_The-Learning-Machine_photos-by-Andrei-Venghiac_2794.jpg" data-mid="100818558" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/419c73fd6a787c636b630272c1f124e8caaceb912e21d402808600611b5c0957/201806_Plants-and-Animals-EXHIBITION_The-Learning-Machine_photos-by-Andrei-Venghiac_2794.jpg" /><img width="3024" height="4032" width_o="3024" height_o="4032" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c2d97f7b95e929f4c77486148565ccdcf8f6dc44c4ebdcb2b4c76d91c878b382/File_003.jpeg" data-mid="101940822" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c2d97f7b95e929f4c77486148565ccdcf8f6dc44c4ebdcb2b4c76d91c878b382/File_003.jpeg" /><img width="4032" height="3024" width_o="4032" height_o="3024" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/0ae4af4e5789d155bcffd9470090edda78d78e263d1eddb8b6a3a4db325fda25/Copy-of-lN3NeD9XSh6XGPEa7phUjA.jpg" data-mid="101941748" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/0ae4af4e5789d155bcffd9470090edda78d78e263d1eddb8b6a3a4db325fda25/Copy-of-lN3NeD9XSh6XGPEa7phUjA.jpg" /> Failings and Habitats gathered audio recordings of people from various places attempting to pronounce the names of the land on which they sit in the language of the Native peoples custodians of these territories. This installation was set in a van, which is lined with astroturf and parked in front Bubbly Creek (Bridgeport, Chicago) June 9th 2018. The scent component is a blend of essential oils from native trees and grass from the Illinois land made by artist Eleonora Edreva which was diffused in the van. Visitors could also listen to the audio recordings through bluetooth speakers. Olfactive blend&nbsp;︎︎︎river birch white oak sweetgum bald cypress wild geranium st johns wort prairie grassThis installation addresses our failings at speaking even basic words in Native languages and translating the knowledges they hold: modes of inhabiting, relationships to the land (botany, dendrology, herbalism), and social practices. The irony and playfulness of a lined astroturf habitat not only invites one to revel in kitsch pleasures but points to our desire to appropriate and reproduce nature in a way that doesn’t demand us to engage and is not that playful. The contrast between the contemplative nook where one finds themselves immersed in a joyful scent (powerful antidepressant scents that also eliminates congestion for example) and the unease (and possible shame/kick in the ass) experienced in our collective failure exposed through the audio component requires that we sit with the trouble, perhaps unsettled. Like unsettled settlers. But it is more of a learning machine than a shaming machine. Many trees native to Illinois are endangered or threatened species. The collaboration toward making this scent was also meant to be a learning process about the state of the local forest. The futuristic looking van symbolizes the&nbsp;fantasy/desire to conquer space - perceived as&nbsp;“available”. The vehicle also embodies the American&nbsp;road trip dream where one riffles through the mileage but doesn’t quite necessarily have to encounter anyone. Eleonora Edreva is a scent and video artist born in Burgas, Bulgaria and raised in Chicago. Her work seeks to nudge people—to think about the sticky environmental problems that are easier to ignore, to engage thoughtfully, lovingly, and sensually with the micro and macro environments around them, and to spend more time navigating the world using their noses. She strongly believes that our sense of smell will have a part in holding off total environmental catastrophe and spends most of her time thinking through and experimenting towards what it could be. https://rebeccaladida.com/Let-s-Stop-talking-Now Fri, 26 Feb 2021 16:05:24 +0000 Rebecca Ladida https://rebeccaladida.com/Let-s-Stop-talking-Now Let’s Stop Talking Now (2012)Rebecca Ladida &amp; Virginie JourdainVideo* (4:34 min) Facing the camera, both subjects rest their heads on a pillow and take their turn uttering words and sentences - in both French and English - that are an essential part of the wordplay linked with lesbian and queer seduction and sexuality. The bare bones scene, the matching impersonal clothing style and the almost disembodied attitude of the subjects offer a sequence that is miles away from the physical and exciting scenario that is expected when this subject is at play. The visual of the piece and the tone being used clash with the very sexually explicit conversation between the subjects. Far from being a romantic and sensual exchange - there is no pillow talk here - the piece does not offer dialogue, but rather a pragmatic guide on "how to sexually survive bilingualism" like the title suggests, or on how to negotiate and fulfill one's desires in a bilingual queer community where one must know the social codes and be familiar with the ever-evolving game of seduction while managing one's own contradictions as a lesbian/feminist/queer being. Playing off the complete lack of sentimental undertones, the narration is a quick loop of images that synthesizes a relationship - or rather an interaction - between two lovers. The video ironizes our heads on approach to a sexuality that has no taboos and addresses the hardship of understanding one another in various circumstances as well as the apathy that is sometimes a byproduct of this reality. Sex and seduction, straying from love in a self-deprecating manner and perhaps even a bit of sorrow, like a strategic game where one must be quick, efficient and succeed without getting burned. *presented at I’m Feelin Myself, curated by Miranda Kyle at Downtown Player’s Club (Atlanta, USA), The Wretched Nobles Film Series by Emily Esperanza (Chicago, USA), Femmes' Video Art curated by Micol Hebron, Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE) (Hollywood, USA), A Tragic Duality, Far As The Curse Is Found, CHICAGQ Exhibition Program by Hanna M.

This was a performative curatorial statement for InLine II, a performance, dance, video, new media and sound event about lines of power and translation&nbsp;organized by Mitsu Salmon &amp; Rebecca Ladida InLine II detailed program&nbsp; About InLine II A line connects or separates, extends or contains. A line can be a manifestation of power, a border (who draws the line), a response (establishing boundaries between bodies and body politic). A line is a decision; a line is an object of conflict. The Chicago Cultural Center is a historic and cultural landmark which is the city'sofficial reception venue where the Mayor of Chicago has welcomed Presidents and royalty, diplomats and community leaders. Playing with and questioning the grandeur and display of power that the space represents we have invited artists who “do not cut the line” instead to investigate these lines of power, place and the body. Traversing the 4th floor, the artists of InLine are performing these lines through different mediums. By moving a line from paper to the body, to a screen and so on, the line -the form’s meaning- layers and becomes more complicated with each reiteration. We can think of these echoes as translation processes. InLine is therefore about both translation and lines of power, about 'keeping in line', within the limits of our social positions. It is about processes of identifications and disidentifications, and the languages available to us to do so. It is about the unavoidable trespassing that occurs when one expands beyond these boundaries. <img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/8ae97c38de7be1a9c7aab1848742dc986c4496b9f6f60ec6077064619263637e/Screen-Shot-2021-02-23-at-7.50.41-PM.png" data-mid="101159981" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/8ae97c38de7be1a9c7aab1848742dc986c4496b9f6f60ec6077064619263637e/Screen-Shot-2021-02-23-at-7.50.41-PM.png" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/180b55e14ef25211c087646828c3c9e5c0367867f2b5777e5868fdb0ede0484f/Screen-Shot-2021-02-23-at-7.52.23-PM.png" data-mid="101159982" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/180b55e14ef25211c087646828c3c9e5c0367867f2b5777e5868fdb0ede0484f/Screen-Shot-2021-02-23-at-7.52.23-PM.png" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/c3a7b13dbfbbff4210539c956a239623a76ab947512710b6084e35a9690c0cad/Screen-Shot-2021-02-23-at-7.48.28-PM.png" data-mid="101159984" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/c3a7b13dbfbbff4210539c956a239623a76ab947512710b6084e35a9690c0cad/Screen-Shot-2021-02-23-at-7.48.28-PM.png" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/934e12ca12d85c356c08d01b6ced357949c1451c535eb88c903a5013293005b2/Screen-Shot-2021-02-23-at-7.48.59-PM.png" data-mid="101159986" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/934e12ca12d85c356c08d01b6ced357949c1451c535eb88c903a5013293005b2/Screen-Shot-2021-02-23-at-7.48.59-PM.png" /><img width="1920" height="1080" width_o="1920" height_o="1080" data-src="https://freight.cargo.site/t/original/i/f8b4187f4cd862f4337f0ca048592844ba7dc1d03e8c8d303d69fb873e86edfc/Screen-Shot-2021-02-23-at-7.51.48-PM.png" data-mid="101159983" border="0" src="https://freight.cargo.site/w/1000/i/f8b4187f4cd862f4337f0ca048592844ba7dc1d03e8c8d303d69fb873e86edfc/Screen-Shot-2021-02-23-at-7.51.48-PM.png" /> https://rebeccaladida.com/Turmeric-is-the-color-of-marigold Wed, 03 Mar 2021 16:27:55 +0000 Rebecca Ladida https://rebeccaladida.com/Turmeric-is-the-color-of-marigold Turmeric is the color of marigold (2019) dyeing in my basement, hand/gestures, photograph. vinegar, turmeric, cayenne, leftover cotton totes from a contemporary art museum’s store who once ordered boxes of the wrong color, black latex gloves Notes, April 2019 ︎︎︎&nbsp; &nbsp; It’s been a few years now that turmeric is part of the things that sustain my well-being, my body’s mobility, lowish-inflammatory state.

In "Scientia Sexualis", part III of his History of Sexuality, Michel Foucault explores the development of the scientific study of sex, the western pretense to unearth the "truth" of sex. He argues that this scientia sexualis has repeatedly been used for political purposes, in the name of "public hygiene" for example, to support state racism. By the 19th century, the "truth" of sexuality was being readily explored both through confession and scientific enquiry. "Homosexual" is a term that stemmed from this 19th century "scientia sexualis", the birth of a scientific discourse on human sexuality.&nbsp;Through excessive repetition, "HOMOSEXUALS AMASESQUALS" points to that history as well as to a ready-made posture/response (astonishment) in the face of this word which was born out of a the desire to identify homosexuality as a thing/pathology) by self-proclaimed authorities on human sexuality, one that felt the need for a word that would serve encyclopedias of sexual perversions, one that would construct a norm by hammering down its deviations, one that was first developed on misogynists, homophobic and racist grounds. While we have largely reappropriated the term "HOMO(S)", the word continue to carry a very sketchy history which is apparently not acknowledged by most "official languages" still using it (from school to government to sexology handbooks). Imagine if that never happened, if the world was just a happy polysexual/pansexual place - where coming out was obsolete and where we could be talking about other things. Judith Butler invites us to look at the ritualized repetition by which norms produce and stabilize not only the effects of gender and sexuality but the materiality of sex. Performativity as citationality is Butler’s way of wording the process of reiteration (citations of words, gestures, etc.). “Performativity is […] not a singular ‘act’, for it is always a reiteration of a norm or set of norms, and to the extent that it requires an act-like status in the present, it conceals or dissimulates the conventions of which it is a repetition”. Accounting for the historicity of performativity means understanding the dynamics of norms and identities (subjectivation) through the repetition or citation of norms and the instability and difference – be they extremely subtle – that is inevitably produced in the process. Butler is interested in the conditions of embodiment in that it is through such process that the performative constitution of identity –including the culturally marked body – the materialization of sex as well as the gendering of the body – occurs. Embodiment is defined as a manner of doing, dramatizing and reproducing a historical situation. If Butler’s theory aims at understanding the process through which gender and sex materialize – how performativity works –, she insists from the start on the transformative power inherent to that very process: the potential difference in repetition. By making visible this grotesque repetition, we hope to make space to question the way words informs who we think we are and what possibilities lay before us. Oh and HOMOSEXUALS AMASESQUALS was made by two franco speaking montrealers juggling with bilingualism and the intricate meanings attached to different declinations of the word.

community arts organizing, DIY curatorial project Archer Ballroom, an artist-run DIY gallery in Bridgeport, Chicago, April 2016 &nbsp;SEX HABITS took the form of a party, a non-linear immersive art event where tracks were interrupted by performances and videos, a space to take a look at the work of printmakers and other visual artists, leather work, collage &amp; photography.&nbsp;A place for brains and haptics to be stimulated: an erotic healing station, a bondage workshop, a peep show booth about sexuality and cinema, not quite impromptu readings and other interventions.Sex Habits was an art show, a party, and an immersive art piece itself. The idea for Sex Habits came from an article proposing that monosexuality (being attracted to only one gender) is genital fetishism. While none of the work in this show makes this formulation explicit, the limitations of vanilla heterosexuality are an underlying theme. This work explores the liberating potential of queer sex and highlights differences between fetish and kink, BDSM practices, and sex as death drive. The event was about public sex, the politics of respectability, revenge feminism, sex in the digital age, cam gir(rr)ls, intimacy, the ins and outs of penetration, porn, exoticism and objectification, dreams of sex with aliens, toys, childhood, non-genital-centric erotics, and spurious feelings. Our proposition was that our sexualities, kinks, and also rape culture in its current form have to be discussed together with the history of cinema. Looking back on Hay's code era films, post-code exploitation films and grindhouse cinema reminds us of a context where violence subsuming sex was understood as transgressive, even if women had to pay the price with symbolic and physical violence. The censorship era propelled a kind a visual culture that licensed violent patriarchal representation on screen, but also represented the 'others' and their revenge. In our endeavor to grasp vintage erotica, we encounter representations of rape and domination that persist today.&nbsp;These articulations are complicated; there is no straight answer which means there is still space to think. Looking at expanded cinema also means taking the measure of how it has shaped our desires and, to some extent, our hetero, lesbian, and gay identities, as well as their queering. How the hetero matrix- the damsel in distress or the myth of the 'vagina dentata’- are performed but also parodied is an example of the tricks that cinema and political art at large can sway. In its infinite repetition of what appears to be the same, cinema as well as sex in the digital age remain capable of newness and freedom, or at least we like to believe so. Sex Habits’ time and space were non-linear, it was one of our objectives to push the boundaries of what can be handled together.
