SUMMARY:Football Practice: Speculative Football Players with Kristin McWharter
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 22\, 2024\, 6–8 pm ET\nOnline over Zoom\nFree or suggested donation; register below\nJoin us for this workshop intensive in which participants explore the cultural impact of American football and collectively contribute to a new simulation of the sport. Part performance lecture\, part interactive imagining\, participants will be given prompts to write and craft new players for the artists Football Practice simulation software. Each workshop designs and “drafts” two players into the scrimmage of the software\, directly shaping the speculative imaging of the game. Inspired by the surrealist game Exquisite Corpses and video game sports simulations such as Madden\, this workshop discusses the importance of consent\, aggression\, and competitive drive as participants playfully imagine speculative football futures in real time. \nThe workshop is open to anyone regardless of their knowledge or interest in football. A Zoom link will be shared with your email address near the event date. \nThis workshop is presented as part of an ongoing project by Kristin McWharter. To learn more\, click here. \nBiography of the artist\nKristin McWharter uses performance and play to interrogate the relationship between competition and intimacy. Her work conjoins viewers within immersive sculptural installations and viewer- inclusive performances that critically fuse folk games within virtual and augmented worlds. Her software installations and performative objects incorporate experimental technologies and playful interaction to produce performances that speculate upon alternative forms of social behavior. Inspired by 20th century sports narrative\, collective decision making\, and technology as a contemporary spiritual authority\, her work blurs the boundaries of intimacy and hype culture to challenge viewer relationships to affection and competitive drive. Her work has been exhibited at The Hammer Museum\, Walt Disney Concert Hall\, Bangkok Arts and Cultural Center\, Ars Electronica\, Museo Altillo Beni\, and FILE Festival among others. McWharter received her MFA from UCLA in Design Media Arts and is currently an Assistant Professor in Art & Technology Studies at SAIC. \nImage description: Two digital avatars on a digital grassy field. The figures are wearing American football outfits. Both the outfits and the grassy field look like they were crocheted.

Discussions will cover morse code\, ASCII\, Unicode (including emoji)\, and alternative text encoding schemes\, as well as their social\, ethical\, and emotional stories.  The second part of the workshop will be a laptops-open play along exploration through software demos and creative exercises. What “is” a character on a computer? How can we play around with the foundational building blocks of digital materials in ways that lets us understand files as materials? How can we think about language as a type of logical encoding that makes computers work? \nBiography of the artist\nEverest Pipkin is a game developer\, writer\, and artist from central Texas who lives and works on a sheep farm in southern New Mexico. Their work both in the studio and in the garden follows themes of ecology\, tool making\, and collective care during collapse. They hold a BFA from University of Texas at Austin\, an MFA from Carnegie Mellon University\, and have shown and spoken at The Design Museum of London\, The Texas Biennial\, The XXI Triennale of Milan\, The Photographers Gallery of London\, Center for Land Use Interpretation\, and other spaces. When not at the computer in the heat of the day\, you can find them in the hills spending time with their neighbors— both human and non-human. \nWorkspace Residency is generously supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. \nImage description: An image from The Barnacle Goose Experiment (2022) by Everest Pipkin.

SUMMARY:Artifacts of Identity: Crafting Meaningful Narratives with Personal Objects by Léwuga Benson
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, April 22\, 2024\, 6–8 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nOpen to ages 16+. All materials provided. Please bring a meaningful personal object you wish to explore!\nWorkspace Resident Lewuga Benson will facilitate conversations with participants on the transformative powers of personal artifacts and the ways they can shape personal and community narratives. This workshop will be both structured and flexible\, and participants will be encouraged to share and explore in depth the meanings of their own personal objects. Lewuga will then guide students through creative exercises in different mediums around their chosen artifact. The workshop encourages collaboration\, reflection\, and meaningful dialogue among participants\, fostering a sense of community and creative exploration. \nBiography of the instructor\nLéwuga Tata Benson: As an interdisciplinary artist and filmmaker\, my work bridges cultures and explores the dynamic interplay between identity\, environmental sustainability\, and human connection. Rooted in my Ogoni heritage in Nigeria\, I draw inspiration from our tradition of repurposing to prevent waste. This ethos infuses my art\, as seen in installations like “The Land Gives Until It No Longer Can\, 2022\,” “Hang in There\, 2022\,” “Traces of Displacement\, 2023\,” “Carrying Identity\, Carrying The Weight\, 2023\,” and “Fueling Change\, 2024.” In Ogoni storytelling\, we engage all the senses\, integrating songs\, dance\, and props for a holistic experience. My artistic practice seamlessly incorporates these traditions to create immersive narratives that provoke thought\, foster empathy\, and celebrate cultural richness. My journey has been marked by awards and accolades\, including the NYSCA 2024 Grant and the Gregory Capasso scholarship for outstanding work in film\, underscoring my commitment to the arts. \nWorkspace Residency is generously supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. \nImage description: Léwuga Tata Benson’s installation The Land Gives Until It No Longer Can (2022) at the University at Buffalo.

SUMMARY:Postponed - How to be a Good Sport with Kristin McWharter
DESCRIPTION:Postponed – Stay tuned for the new date!\nTuesday\, April 16\, 2024\, 6–8 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nOpen to ages 16+. All materials provided.\nIn this interactive workshop\, Workspace Resident Kristin McWharter will coach participants as they design a new sport that responds to the unique skills\, attributes\, fears and desires of the collective participants. Kristin will first provide an introduction to different competitive game structures and discuss how aspects of these structures can act as metaphors for our behavior.  Students will then collaboratively design their own sport and the workshop will conclude by playing the game and crowning the created sport’s first champion! \nBiography of the instructor\nKristin McWharter uses performance and play to interrogate the relationship between competition and intimacy. Her work conjoins viewers within immersive sculptural installations and viewer- inclusive performances that critically fuse folk games within virtual and augmented worlds. Her software installations and performative objects incorporate experimental technologies and playful interaction to produce performances that speculate upon alternative forms of social behavior. Inspired by 20th century sports narrative\, collective decision making\, and technology as a contemporary spiritual authority\, her work blurs the boundaries of intimacy and hype culture to challenge viewer relationships to affection and competitive drive. Her work has been exhibited at The Hammer Museum\, Walt Disney Concert Hall\, Bangkok Arts and Cultural Center\, Ars Electronica\, Museo Altillo Beni\, and FILE Festival among others. McWharter received her MFA from UCLA in Design Media Arts and is currently an Assistant Professor in Art & Technology Studies at SAIC. \nWorkspace Residency is generously supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. \nImage description: Screen capture of software performance RARA by Kristin McWharter.

SUMMARY:NEW DATE Special Weekend Workshop: 16mm Film - Shoot and Process with Carl Lee!
DESCRIPTION:Sat & Sun January 20-21\, 2024\n12pm-4pm\n$240 (10% discount for Squeaky Wheel and CEPA members. Not yet a member?

His work has been screened and exhibited nationally and internationally.  \nhttp://carljlee.com \n  \n \n  \nPortrait of Carl Lee by Dorothea Braemer \nAll other photos and film stills courtesy Carl Lee

For this project\, students from both Saturday Cafe and Just Buffalo Literary Center will work in response to the work of Buffalo-based artist Julia Bottoms\, whose work is on view at the Burchfield Penney Art Center. Bottoms uses portraiture to express the nuance and complexities of Black identity beyond limiting\, reductive stereotypes. She has also been selected to fabricate a sculpture of Shirley Chisholm. As the first Black woman to be elected to Congress in 1968\, and the first Black woman to run for President of the United States\, Chisholm’s life and legacy are rooted in carving a place for her voice to be heard and to advocate for her community. \nThrough sessions at the Burchfield Penney and at Squeaky Wheel\, students will be inspired to imagine what it means to dream beyond imposed societal limitations\, and to define how they see themselves in history on their own terms. Through creative writing and multimedia video\, students are encouraged to consider how they find their voice\, to think through how the visual arts can be a catalyst for more expansive and meaningful representation. \n  \nApply online at this link.\nClick here for more info about Saturday Cafe\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:2D Stop-Motion World Building with Photoshop with Maggie Hazen
DESCRIPTION:*New date* Thursday\, August 24\, 6–8 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nOpen to ages 16+. Computers with Adobe Photoshop provided.\nIn this hands on workshop\, Workspace Resident Maggie Hazen will lead participants as they create their own stop motion animations. Maggie will first cover the basics of world-building and the process of designing a visual language that represents the world you want to create. Students will then learn to use 2D stop motion animation and Photoshop to create unique worlds. Participants will work in teams to make short animated films\, which will be screened at the end of the workshop. Laptops or desktops with Adobe Photoshop will be provided. \n  \nBiography of the artist\nMaggie Hazen is a New York-based visual artist from Los Angeles. Hazen’s artistic practice is characterized by the transformative power of sculpture\, video\, collage\, performance\, and installation\, which she employs to explore the complex ways in which subjects interact with and perform within the spaces they occupy. Through the synthesis of narratives drawn from popular culture and institutional systems\, Hazen’s works aim to deconstruct the familiar and make it strange\, revealing what lies hidden in plain sight. Hazen is the founder and an active member of the Columbia Collective\, which is dedicated to supporting the visibility of young incarcerated and formerly incarcerated artists who have been rendered invisible by the system. Launched in 2019 at the Columbia Secure Center for Girls in the Hudson Valley\, the collective has since grown to find a new home at the Brookwood Secure Center for youth. \nHazen’s work has been exhibited\, screened and performed at institutions including The Bronx Museum\, Bronx\, NY; Foreland Contemporary Art Campus\, Catskill\, NY; Pulse Miami Beach as part of Pulse Play\, Miami\, FL; The Museum of Tolerance\, Los Angeles\, CA; Microscope Gallery\, Brooklyn\, NY; Vox Populi\, Philadelphia\, PA; Light Year on the Manhattan Bridge\, Brooklyn\, NY; The Granoff Center at Brown University\, RI; Performance Works Northwest\, Portland\, OR; The CICA Museum in South Korea; and The Boston Young Contemporaries exhibition; Boston\, MA; among others. Hazen has held residencies at Pioneer Works\, Brooklyn\, NY; De:Formal online artist residency; The Shanghai Institute of Visual Art\, Shanghai\, China\, I:O residency at the Helikon Art Center\, Izmit\, Turkey; Vermont Studio Center in Vermont and The Pasadena Side Street Projects\, Pasadena; CA. She participated as a fellow in the Bronx AIM program and The Saas-Fee Summer Institute of Art at European Graduate School in Switzerland. She has studied at Biola University\, Brown University\, and the Rhode Island School of Design. She has taught at the Rhode Island School of Design\, New York University\, The Stevens Institute of Technology\, The Shanghai Institute of Visual Art\, and the Bard College Clemente courses in the humanities program. She is currently a visiting artist-in-residence at Bard College in the Studio Arts program. \nWorkspace Residency is generously supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. \nImage description: Maggie Hazen\, a white queer person from Southern California.
