SUMMARY:helloiamandra8: Alison Nguyen in conversation with Sophie Cavoulacos
DESCRIPTION:*New date* Thursday\, November 18\, 7 pm ET\nFree or pay what you can\nRegister here\nAccess information: ASL interpretation and automated captions provided\nAn evening of conversation on labor\, AI\, performance\, among other topics\, this artist talk by Alison Nguyen with curator Sophie Cavoulacos looks at the history\, underpinnings\, and the digital and physical work surrounding her multifaceted project Andra8.  \nAndra8 takes its name after a computer-generated woman based on the artist’s physicality. From the apartment where she has been ‘placed’ Andra8 works as a digital laborer\, surviving off the data from her various ‘freemium’ jobs as a virtual assistant\, a data janitor\, a life coach\, an aspiring influencer\, and content creator. Something begins to trouble Andra8: her life depends on her compulsory consumption and output of human data – or so she’s been told. Andra8 explores the implications of such an existence\, and what arises when one attempts to subvert them. First exhibited in 2020\, the project spans video\, installation\, sculpture\, and interactive online performances. \nAudiences who register will have access to the full performances and short film that Nguyen has created as part of the project. The live artist talk will be accessible to audiences for 24 hours after the event. Squeaky Wheel members will have access for 72 hours. Not a member?

SUMMARY:SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY and Camille Bacon
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 6\, 7 pm ET\nFree or pay what you can\nClick here to register\nAccess information: ASL interpretation provided. If you encounter any issues\, please send us a text message at 716-427-4125. \nAn intimate event incorporating both pre-recorded and live video\, SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY is joined by Camille Bacon for a virtual conversation about her work. Taking the form of letters written to each other\, HOLLOWAY and Bacon will speak to yearning\, irresolution\, letting go\, and the passing of time\, with Toni Morrison’s 1973 novel Sula functioning as a touchstone. The conversation will be followed by a public Q&A. The event marks the opening of HOLLOWAY’s exhibition and web project\, i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me back. \nAn email with instructions and a link will be sent to you on the event date and will be accessible on Eventbrite’s Online Event Page.

Sign up here. \nTo see more information about the exhibition\, click here. \nBiographies \nSHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY is a new media artist and poet. Through works of video installation\, software\, and real-time performance\, her work often critically engages the technical language of instruction\, especially the aesthetics and mechanics of practices from queer feminist BDSM communities\, to direct viewers to read\, play\, or listen their way through narratives that guide them in and out of visceral memories\, asking them to confront intense emotions like desire\, shame\, or regret\, and to employ them as mechanisms to navigate through and/or away from abuses of power. She has spoken and exhibited work internationally in spaces like The New Museum (NYC)\, The Kitchen (NYC)\, The Time-Based Art Festival (Portland)\,  Institute of Contemporary Arts (London)\, Hebbel am Ufer HAU (Berlin)\, and NTS Radio (London). SHAWNÉ was a 20-21 Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art Queer Theatre & Performance Resident as well as a resident at Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s Creative Exchange Lab. \nCamille Bacon is a Chicago-based critic and writer who recently graduated from Smith College in Northampton\, MA\, and is crafting a “sweet Black writing life\,” as inspired by the words of poet Nikky Finney. \nThis program was funded in part by Humanities New York with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

SUMMARY:Meet the Residents: Crystal Z Campbell\, Jordan Lord\, Olivia Ong Evans
DESCRIPTION:Image description: A rectangular image with three photographs side by side. From left to right: Portrait of Crystal Z Campbell\, a Black and Asian artist in the studio gazing directly into camera\, with just above the shoulder length curly hair wrangled into a half-ponytail. Light from the industrial window creates a pink and reddish glow on their cheek\, filtered through a transparency the artist is holding. The transparency is a film still from a found 35mm film the artist found at a now demolished Black Civil Rights Theater. The photograph is courtesy of Melissa Lukenbaugh. In the middle photograph is Jordan Lord\, a 30 year-old white person with short brown hair\, stands in front of a tank of bioluminescent jellyfish\, wearing a face mask printed with the nose and mouth of a tiger. Their eyes seem to be smiling. The photograph on the right is of Olivia Ong Evans\, facing the camera and smiling. She has long\, black hair and is wearing metal framed glasses and a black and white shirt. Behind her is a pink\, purple\, gray\, and aqua blue video still showing tree branches\, river branches\, and a smoke stack in the background.⁠\nThursday\, August 26\, 2021\, 7 pm ET\nFree or pay what you can\nClick here to register\nAccess information: TBA. If you encounter any issues\, please send us a text message at 716-427-4125. \nSqueaky Wheel is pleased to present this artist talk with our three Summer 2021 artist residents\, Crystal Z Campbell (Oklahoma City\, OK)\, Jordan Lord (New York\, NY)\, and Olivia Ong Evans (Tonawanda\, NY). The three artists will be presenting and speaking to their previous and current projects\, and engaging in a conversation with curator Ekrem Serdar. \nCrystal Z Campbell will be working on SLICK\, an experimental feature film considering the longstanding reverberations of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre on the city of Tulsa and beyond. Jordan Lord is working on editing an essay film with their grandmother\, Prophetic Memory\, which examines the stakes in re-animating personal and collective history. Olivia Ong Evans will be working on Identity Karma\, an experimental video that explores the connections between identity construction and social structures. \nThe event will be available to register and view for 24 hours. SW members will have access to the event for 72 hours. \nTo find out more about the Workspace Residency\, click here. \nBiographies of the residents \nCrystal Z Campbell is a multidisciplinary artist\, experimental filmmaker\, and writer of Black\, Filipino\, and Chinese descents. Campbell finds complexity in public secrets—rumored information known by many but undertold or unspoken. Recent works revisit questions of immortality and medical ethics with Henrietta Lacks’s “immortal” cell line\, ponder the role of a political monument and displacement in a Swedish coastal landscape\, and salvage a 35mm film from a demolished Black activist theater in Brooklyn as a relic of gentrification. Campbell is a Harvard Radcliffe Film Study Center & David and Roberta Logie Fellow (2020-2021) living and working in Oklahoma\, and founder of archiveacts.com. Campbell was recently named a 2021 Guggenheim Fellow in Fine Arts. \nJordan Lord is a filmmaker\, writer\, and artist\, working primarily in video\, text\, and performance. Their work addresses the relationships between historical and emotional debts\, framing and support\, access and documentary. Their video and performance work has been shown internationally at venues including MoMA\, ARGOS\, Camden Arts Centre\, Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts\, and Performance Space NY (as part of the festival “I wanna be with you everywhere”). Their exhibition “Prophetic Memory” is currently in-progress online and at various sites via Artists Space (New York\, NY). They teach at Hunter College\, CUNY (New York). \nOlivia Ong Evans (she/her/hers) is a video artist currently living on occupied Haudenosaunee land (Western New York). She uses experimental practices to create glitchy\, distorted visuals that explore positionality.  Her work centers on themes of identity construction\, migration\, connection to land\, and Hokkien Indonesian heritage.

Not unlike the earliest forms of oral poetry\, memes transmit our cultural memory. I scour the web for these preserves…the copies and reproductions of our collective digital id\, dragging and dropping(sculpting) my findings into the Adobe Suite to create a bricolage of text and image that call into question notions of identity and empire. I chart an internet psychogeography that questions the sensorial exhaustiveness of audiovisual capitalism–An art that\, in the framework of predictive algorithms and data extractions attempts intervention within the infrastructure of social media.

SUMMARY:Meet our Residents: Emily Watlington\, Eric Drasin\, Jenson Leonard\, Johann Diedrick
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 22\, 2020\, 7 pm ET\nFree or suggested donation. Registration required.\nThis is an online event. Upon registration\, you will receive an email with information on how to view the event. Automatic captioning will be provided. \nRegister here \nJoin Squeaky Wheel for a chance to meet our Summer 2020 Workspace Residents and learn more about their past and ongoing projects in this evening of artist talks. \nDuring their residency\, Emily Watlington will be working on a chapter for a book on accessibility as an artistic medium\, focusing on artistic uses of closed captioning. Eric Barry Drasin will be researching digital art cooperatives vis a vis distributed technologies\, online communities spaces\, experimental finance\, and alternative forms of governance. Jenson Leonard will be filming and editing Workflow\, an installation centered around the velocity and momentum of blackness (historically and as imagined online) as it relates to the philosophical concept of acceleration-the idea that the only way out of capitalism is through its intensification. Johann Diedrick will be composing music for Wake\, an hour-long sonic performance relating to the local ecology in and around Silo City and its connection to the Buffalo River\, and that offers a moment to mourn over the loss of our environment\, our world\, and ourselves. The Summer 2020 residency was juried by Ekrem Serdar\, Martina LaVallo\, and Liz Park. Biographies of the residents and juries can be found below. \nA brief presentation before the artist talk will update you on how you can take part in the Workspace Residency with the upcoming application period in September. \nThis event will be streamed live on Youtube with automated captioning. Audiences will be able to ask questions through Youtube’s live-chat function. \nEmily Watlington is assistant editor at Art in America. She writes about contemporary art—primarily video—often through the lenses of feminism and disability justice. A Fulbright scholar with a master’s degree from MIT in the history\, theory\, and criticism of architecture and art\, she has held curatorial positions at the MIT List Visual Arts Center and MassArt’s Bakalar and Paine Galleries (now the MassArt Art Museum). Her writing has appeared in publications such as Artforum\, Mousse\, and Frieze\, and she has contributed to numerous books and exhibition catalogues\, including Before Projection: Video Sculpture 1974–1995 (2018)\, An Inventory of Shimmers: Objects of Intimacy in Contemporary Art (2017)\, and Independent Female Filmmakers (Routledge\, 2018). \nEric Barry Drasin is a research-based artist exploring the relationship between art and systems of value. Through emerging blockchain technologies\, his current research explores “distributed” processes\, objects\, and organizations that problematize and reprogram fundamental assumptions about how value is constructed and disseminated. Using contracts and legal frameworks as a platform for enacting collectivity\, his work injects cooperation and utopian absurdity into systems designed to consolidate power. The notion of the art object is rematerialized in digital space and expanded to engage notions of cultural production and collective agency. Value is thus performed as a form of disruption\, and capitalism itself is the terrain for the refiguration of the economic landscape. \nJenson Leonard\nMy practice involves the intersection of poetry\, conceptual art\, and internet memes. Not unlike the earliest forms of oral poetry\, memes transmit our cultural memory. I scour the web for these preserves…the copies and reproductions of our collective digital id\, dragging and dropping(sculpting) my findings into the Adobe Suite to create a bricolage of text and image that call into question notions of identity and empire. I chart an internet psychogeography that questions the sensorial exhaustiveness of audiovisual capitalism–An art that\, in the framework of predictive algorithms and data extractions attempts intervention within the infrastructure of social media. \nJohann Diedrick is a Caribbean-American artist who makes installations\, performances\, and sculptures that allow you to explore the world through your ears. He surfaces vibratory histories of past interactions inscribed in material and embedded in space\, peeling back sonic layers to reveal hidden memories and untold stories. He shares his tools and techniques through listening tours\, workshops\, and open-source hardware/software. He is currently a Spring 2020 technology artist-in-residence at Pioneer Works and a recipient of a 2020 Brooklyn Arts Fund grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council. Along with receiving an Asian Cultural Council grant\, his work has been featured in Wire Magazine\, Musicworks Magazine\, and presented at MoMA PS1 (in collaboration with Jonathan González)\, Somerset House (London\, UK)\, Social Kitchen (Kyoto\, Japan)\, Common Ground (Berlin\, Germany)\, Recess (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Knockdown Center (Queens\, NY)\, and Pioneer Works (Brooklyn\, NY). \nWorkspace Residency is supported by generous support by the County of Erie and County Executive Mark Poloncarz\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts\, and individual members\, businesses\, and supporters. Special thanks to Scribe Video Center.

SUMMARY:Meet the Residents: Caleb Abrams & Saif Alsaegh
DESCRIPTION:Online artist talk & screening | *NEW DATE* Wednesday\, April 8\, 7 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nClick here to get your ticket\nYou will receive an email with information and a link on how to view the live event. The artists films will be available to view through April 15\, 2020\, 6:59 pm.\n \nClick here to view the video presentations by the artists with an introduction by the curator \nClick here to view the post-event Google Docs Q&A with the artists \nIn response to COVID-19\, our Spring artists in residence\, Caleb Abrams and Saif Alsaegh\, have continued their residencies from home and will engage with the public virtually. We invite you to convene online to learn about their past and ongoing projects at this artist talk and screening. Caleb Abrams will speak about his current film\, The Burning of My Coldspring Home\, an adaptation of a short story by Seneca Elder Stephen Gordon regarding the forced dislocation of the Seneca people following the building of the Kinzua dam by the Allegheny River. Saif Alsaegh will speak of his film Departure\, titled after a poem by Arthur Rimbaud\, which examines the idea of foreignness as it relates to the filmmaker’s past as a Baghdad born filmmaker living in California. Preceding the event will be a brief presentation by Squeaky Wheel curator\, Ekrem Serdar on how you can be part of the Workspace Residency program in the future. \nCaleb G. Abrams is an Onöndowa’ga:’ (Seneca) filmmaker and multimedia artist based out of what is currently considered Buffalo\, New York. Raised on the Seneca’s Allegany Territory\, much of his work emerges from the social\, historical\, and cultural background of the Seneca. Abrams has written and produced multiple independent short films and videos for the Seneca Nation\, Seneca-Iroquois National Museum/Onöhsagwë:dé Cultural Center\, and Odawi Law PLLC. He has also produced work in collaboration with PBS-WNED-TV\, Vision Maker Media\, Skipping Stone Pictures\, and Toward Castle Films. Lake of Betrayal (2017)\, the award-winning national public television documentary on which Abrams served as the associate producer\, examines the impact of the Kinzua Dam on the Seneca Nation – a topic much of his work has explored. Abrams’ films have been presented at universities\, historical societies\, libraries\, museums\, high schools\, and community and cultural resource organizations throughout Haudenosaunee Territory and the Northeast. \nSaif Alsaegh is a United States-based filmmaker from Baghdad. Much of Saif’s work deals with the contrast between the landscape of his youth in Baghdad growing up as part of the Chaldean minority in the nineties and early 2000s\, and the U.S. landscape where he currently lives. His films have screened in many festivals including Cinema du Reel\, Kruzfilm Festival Hamburg\, Kasseler Dokfest\, Onion City Film Festival and in galleries and museums including the Wisconsin Triennial at MMoCA. He earned his MFA in filmmaking at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. \nThe residency is made possible with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts and presented in collaboration with Just Buffalo Literary Art Center and the sponsorship of Hostel Buffalo-Niagara.

SUMMARY:Representation in Filmmaking with Caleb Abrams

SUMMARY:Punctures | Charlie Best & Jodi Lynn Maracle
DESCRIPTION:Artist talks & Closing | Friday\, February 7\, 7 pm\nFree and open to the public \nJoin us for the closing event of Punctures with artist talks by Charlie Best and Jodi Lynn Maracle. Best will speak about their window installation We Interrupt this Program\, made as “an invitation for confusion and joy\, full of noise\, for trans people.” Jodi Lynn Maracle will share her video work A Song to the Water from a Loving Child which explores generational relationships to and for lands and waters. The artists will be joined by curator Ekrem Serdar for a conversation and Q&A following their presentations. \nCharlie Best is an artist and seamstrix living and working in what is currently known as buffalo\, ny. Picking and choosing between fiber and textiles\, video\, collage\, performance\, and sculpture\, Charlie’s work interrupts transmissions of the gender binary\, lack of imagination\, capitalism\, and other ills lurking in common cultural forms. Richard Scarry illustrations\, men’s shirts\, catholic mass\, and network television are just some of what awaits the cut of the scissors. Charlie is committed to the joys\, lessons\, fears\, and aesthetics of nonbinary imagination practices. They received a bfa in sculpture and expanded media from alfred university’s school of art and design (2018)\, and were the recipient of a fellowship to the cite internationale des arts\, paris\, france. They have exhibited locally and nationally\, most recently at sugar city (buffalo\, ny) with “something from the basement”. The current interests of their practice include the application of anarchist tactics/thoughts/dreams and children’s stories to garment and accessory design\, and the history of VHS. Charlie and collaborator Jaz Palermo are in pre production for their first film\, titled st. tilapia’s school for gayward girls\, which they both hope gets banned somewhere. \nBorn and raised in what is currently considered Buffalo\, NY\, Jodi Lynn Maracle is a Kanien’keha:ka mother\, artist\, teacher and language learner. Jodi utilizes Haudenosaunee material language and techniques\, such as hand tanning deer hides\, and corn husk twining\, in conversation with sound scapes\, projections\, video\, and performance to interrogate questions of place\, power\, erasure\, story making\, and responsibility to the land. She has shown her work throughout Dish With One Spoon Territory in site specific installation performances such as the Mush Hole Project at the defunct Mohawk Institute Residential School (home of the Woodland Cultural Centre) in Brantford\, ON\, as well as the Gardiner Museum in Toronto\, ON\, Artpark in Lewiston\, NY\, and Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center\, in Buffalo\, NY. Her research as a PhD student at the University at Buffalo focuses on Haudenosaunee material culture\, language\, land and birth practices. Of her accomplishments\, she is most proud to hear her son speak his Mohawk language each day. \n\nThis exhibition is part of Punctures: Textiles in Digital and Material Time. Consisting of three exhibitions and public programs that weave into each other\, Punctures features artists who are invested in the intersections and history of textile practices\, media art\, and critical and liberatory politics\, including trans fashion and domesticity; gendered and immigrant labor under global racial capitalism; Gelede women’s commemoration\, protest and power as represented in textile work; speculative future-casting through Oglala Lakota knowledge systems\, and more. The exhibition features installations by Betty Yu\, Cecilia Vicuña\, Charlie Best\, Eniola Dawodu\, Kite\, and Sabrina Gschwandtner\, performances by Charlie Best\, Jodi Lynn Maracle\, and Kite\, and screenings of work by Jodie Mack\, Pat Ferrero\, Sabrina Gschwandtner\, and Wang Bing.

SUMMARY:Meet our Residents: Dana McKnight\, Dessane Lopez Cassell\, Jodi Lynn Maracle
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 9th\, 7pm\nFree and open to the public \nJoin Squeaky Wheel for a chance to meet our Summer 2019 Workspace Residents and learn more about their past and ongoing projects in this evening of artist talks\, covering artistic and curatorial approaches to labor & representation as they relate to people of color\, anchored in the geography of the Dominican Republic; speculative black markets and underground communities in our cities east side; and investigations into past and present relationships of Haudenosaunee peoples to the land on which we’ve settled. A brief presentation before the artist talk will update you on how you can take part in the Workspace Residency. \nDana T McKnight is a black\, queer\, multimedia artist currently residing in Austin\, TX. Blending formal studies in Cultural Anthropology (Long Island University\, 2005) and Sculpture (Minerva Kunst Akademie\, Groningen NL) her work lies in a plethora of medium splicing: speculative fiction\, sculpture\, installation\, experimental sound and video\, performance art\, poetry and painting. At the core of Dana McKnight’s work lies a surrealist edge—the real world slowly picked apart through a lens tinted by magical realism and lived experience. Dana McKnight is a founder of Dreamland Art Gallery\, an artist-run contemporary arts and performance space in Buffalo\, NY\, and a Co-Creator for RIQSE (Radical Inclusive Queer Sex Education). In 2016\, she was selected as a Living Legacy Artist by the Burchfield Penney Art Center. She is hood-raised\, but spent several years living in London\, Kyoto\, and Groningen (NL) and travels extensively. \nDessane Lopez Cassell is a curator\, writer\, and film programmer based in New York. She has held curatorial positions at the Studio Museum in Harlem\, The Museum of Modern Art\, and the Allen Memorial Art Museum. A former US Fulbright fellow\, Cassell has organized curatorial projects and screenings for Flaherty NYC\, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM)\, MoMA Film\, and the Allen. Her writing has been published and is forthcoming in catalogs issued by the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Studio Museum\, MoMA\, and Experiments in Cinema. Cassell has produced podcast and radio projects for Bay FM and Creative X (both South Africa)\, and Roskilde Festival (Denmark)\, and she is a 2019 Advisory Committee member at UnionDocs\, in Brooklyn. Her research interests include experimental film\, contemporary practices that draw upon the archival\, and investigations of race\, gender\, and representation. \nBorn and raised in what is currently considered Buffalo\, NY\, Jodi Lynn Maracle is a Kanien’keha:ka mother\, artist\, teacher and language learner. Jodi utilizes Haudenosaunee material language and techniques\, such as hand tanning deer hides\, and corn husk twining\, in conversation with sound scapes\, projections\, video\, and performance to interrogate questions of place\, power\, erasure\, story making\, and responsibility to the land. She has shown her work throughout Dish With One Spoon Territory in site specific installation performances such as the Mush Hole Project at the defunct Mohawk Institute Residential School (home of the Woodland Cultural Centre) in Brantford\, ON\, as well as the Gardiner Museum in Toronto\, ON\, Artpark in Lewiston\, NY\, and Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center\, in Buffalo\, NY. Her research as a PhD student at the University at Buffalo focuses on Haudenosaunee material culture\, language\, land and birth practices. Of her accomplishments\, she is most proud to hear her son speak his Mohawk language each day. \nThis event is presented as part of Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency. The Workspace Residency is a project-based residency for artists and researchers working in media arts. Open to applicants from Buffalo and across the U.S.\, the residency connects artists and researchers with resources\, time\, and studio space to support the creation of new work or to continue ongoing projects.

SUMMARY:Workspace Presentations: Elizabeth Tannie Lewin and Dana Tyrrell
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free public talk by our two Workspace residents! Artist resident Elizabeth Tannie Lewin (Brooklyn\, NY) and researcher resident Dana Tyrrell (Buffalo\, NY) will be giving presentations on their ongoing projects at the tail-end of their two week residency with Squeaky Wheel. \nElizabeth Tannie Lewin is a digital media artist interested in: technology\, landscape\, identity\, disappearance\, history\, and utopia. Lewin uses various technologies to achieve special effects such as: 3D modeling landscapes\, hacking a computer mouse to scan images\, and webcameras programmed to initiate\, or pause\, video playback. Lewin received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2009) and her MFA from Hunter College (2016).\nProject Proposal\nMy current work is focused on the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI)\, its nuclear history (the RMI\, was once known as the Pacific Proving Grounds\, and the location of 67 United States nuclear tests). The Castle Bravo nuclear test was conducted on Bikini\, Atoll on March 1\, 1954 and was the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by the United States. To this day\, Bikini remains uninhabitable due to radiation. Hundreds of Bikinians remain displaced. Additionally\, the RMI is faces increasing fragility due to climate change (the RMI is on average\, 2 meters above sea level\, scientists predict that the sea levels will rise between 0.8-2 meters by the end of the century).\nMy time at Workspace will be devoted to producing creating a 3D virtual “game” landscape of the RMI\, recording video audio\, and editing scanned military photos which that will be incorporated into a developing video (working title: Nuclear Set). \nDana Tyrrell is an artist\, curator and writer living and working in Buffalo\, New York. He holds an MFA in Visual Studies from the University at Buffalo (2015)\, a BA in Drawing & Painting and a BA in Art History\, both from the State University of New York at Fredonia (2012). His work has been shown widely throughout Western New York\, including solo exhibits with the Castellani Art Museum (2017) and Dreamland Art Gallery (2015). His curatorial practice includes exhibits at Anna Kaplan Contemporary (formerly BT&C Gallery)\, the Benjaman Gallery\, Dreamland Art Gallery\, and Sugar City Art Gallery. Photograph courtesy of Julian Montague.\nProject Proposal\nMy intent for this Workspace Residency would be to research\, and eventually curate a show focused upon emergent technologies. My interest lies at the intersection of technology and performance art -vis-a-vis academics like José Esteban Muñoz and Kara Keeling\, as well as performance artists such as Zach Blas\, Micha Cárdenas and Hito Steyerl – wherein the point of the juncture between emergent technologies and performance art becomes the human body\, in all of its mutability\, foibles and inconsistencies. I am interested in the interplay between the technological self and the realized\, physical self and how those two things\, while not always mutually exclusive\, bend and blur under the ever-present and growing weight of technology.\nThe understanding of these artists and their further articulation within the context of a yet-to be-realized exhibit would be thus predicated upon Keeling’s own description of what is known as a “Queer OS” (Cinema Journal\, 2014); a speculative project which sees the formulation of queer function as an operating system\, which straddles both technical and cultural understandings. At its core\, a Queer OS offers up a space in which LGBTQ+\, Women\, Black and Latinx people can meet – both online and off – connect to one another\, and reaffirm alternative modes of technological disbursement and exploration as we delve further into the twenty-first century. \nAbout the program \nWorkspace Residency is a unique artist residency that supports local\, regional and national media artists and researchers who are working on projects in film\, video\, audio\, interactive media and emerging technologies in any stage of production. Initiated in 2016 by Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center in Buffalo\, New York\, in collaboration with local partners Buffalo Game Space\, Buffalo Lab\, and Silo City\, the residency provides support through equipment\, facilities\, and technical support for artists experimenting across a range of old and new technologies\, such as video\, sound\, digital platforms\, interactivity\, virtual reality\, and 3D printing. Community outreach and public engagement components include presentation and education activities. \nWe encourage people of color\, women\, queer\, trans and gender non-conforming people to apply. The residency welcomes applications from both emerging and established artists and researchers. A list of previous residents can be found here.

Summer 2017 residents include Lea Bertucci\, Caroline Doherty\, Ja’Tovia Gary\, Rachael Rakes & Leo Goldsmith\, and Deniz Tortum. Come join us to see and listen to a tremendously exciting group of artists and researchers! Check out their bios and project proposals below. \nWorkspace Residency is a unique artist residency that supports local\, regional and national media artists and researchers who are working on projects in film\, video\, audio\, interactive media and emerging technologies in any stage of production. Initiated in 2016 by Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center in Buffalo\, New York\, in collaboration with local partners Buffalo Game Space\, Buffalo Lab\, and Silo City\, the residency provides support through equipment\, facilities\, and technical support for artists experimenting across a range of old and new technologies\, such as video\, sound\, digital platforms\, interactivity\, virtual reality\, and 3D printing. Community outreach and public engagement components include presentation and education activities. \n—\nSILO CITY RESIDENT\n\n \nLea Bertucci is an American composer and performer whose work describes relationships between acoustic phenomena and biological resonance. In addition to her instrumental practice\, (alto saxophone and bass clarinet)\, her work often incorporates multi-channel speaker arrays\, electroacoustic feedback\, extended instrumental technique and tape collage. Her discography includes a number of solo and collaborative releases on independent labels in the US and Europe\, including I Dischi Del Barone\, Obsolete Units\, Telegraph Harp and Clandestine Compositions. In 2017\, she will release All That is Solid Melts Into Air: Works for Strings\, on NNA Tapes. She has performed extensively across the US and Europe at venues such as The Kitchen\, PS1 MoMA\, The Drawing Center\, Anthology Film Archives\, Abrons Arts\, ISSUE Project Room\, Pioneer Works\, The Queens Museum\, Artists’ Space\,
Caramoor\, The High Zero Festival\, and Experimental
Intermedia\, among many others. She is a 2016 MacDowell Fellow in composition and a 2015 ISSUE Project Room Artist-in- Residence.\nProject:\nThe artist will create the first in a two-part suite of compositions for electroacoustic saxophone quartet. This new site-specific work would be developed\, premiered and documented within the uniquely resonant space of Silo City’s grain elevators. Drawing from the Buffalo area’s community of creative musicians\, the artist would collaborate with three other saxophonists to develop this work. Aural phenomena will play a pivotal role in the development of this composition – gesturally\, structurally and timbrally. The process will begin by narrowing down a vocabulary of extended instrumental techniques for Saxophone\, dictated by in-depth explorations of psychoacoustic phenomena in the space.\nThe second part of the project will use electronic processing techniques informed by explorations at Silo City. An essential component of the time the time the artist will spend on the site will be taking acoustic response tests of the interior of the grain elevators and creating customized reverberation modeling patches that are based on the characteristics of the Silos. This and other elements such as field recordings will inform the second part of the suite\, and will be continued into 2018.\nThe culmination of this residency will be a public premiere of the composition at Silo City on August 26\, 2017. \nRESEARCH RESIDENTS\n \nRachael Rakes is a curator\, critic\, film programmer\, and teacher. She was recently a Fellow at Art Center/South Florida\, and a Curator-in-Residence in the CPR: Mexico program. Rakes is a Programmer at Large for the Film Society of Lincoln Center\, Editor at Large for Verso Books\, a and has recently organized exhibitions for Knockdown Center\, ISCP\, and Malmö Konsthall. Leo Goldsmith is a writer and curator based in New York. He co-edits the film section of The Brooklyn Rail with Rachael Rakes\, with whom he is writing a book about the radical filmmaker Peter Watkins. His writing has appeared in Art-Agenda\, artforum\, Cinema Scope\, INCITE\, and The Village Voice.\nProject:\n“Distant Present” is a book that argues that Peter Watkins’s work is an essential precursor to the recent interest in moving-image documentary works in contemporary art. Since the late 1950s\, Watkins has engineered a unique form of moving image practice: hybrid non fiction as interventionist art. His films\, including The War Game\, Edvard Munch\, Punishment Park\, and La Commune\, are at once hyperpolitical\, sophisticated\, and reflexive works on social struggle and the mediation of history. This book will provide a critical analysis of Watkins’s filmmaking and writing\, situating his unorthodox methodologies of collective filmmaking within a narrative of their often fraught production\, distribution\, and reception histories\, and within their wider intellectual and political contexts. \nARTIST RESIDENTS\n \nCaroline Doherty is an artist and educator based in Buffalo\, NY. She employs multiple mediums – including sculpture\, performance\, video\, and public projects – to engage questions of language\, communication\, violence\, and power. She has exhibited and been a resident artist internationally\, most recently at Ontario Place in Toronto\, the University of Toronto Missisauga\, SOMA in Mexico City\, ArtPark in Lewiston\, NY\, Tsinghua University in Beijing\, the Chongjiang Contemporary Art Museum in Chongqing\, and CEPA Gallery in Buffalo. Alongside her art practice\, Caroline teaches people of many ages and backgrounds how to make and do new things.\nProject:\nThe artist will work on production of a multi-channel video that is based on their recent major installation and performance project\, Basic Furnishings for Unequal Spaces. Drawing from their experiences as a student\, teacher\, and worker\, the work explores the effects – blatant and invisible- of systems of power\, gender\, labor\, and competition in bureaucratic and institutional spaces by focusing on the archetypal objects found in those spaces. Referencing environments like offices\, waiting rooms\, and lecture halls\, the sculptural furniture and related objects double as set and props\, shifting meaning and utility based on the actions of five female performers. The actions were devised through improvisation exercises with the performers\, and then complied into a mutable score for live public performances. This new iteration translates the actions into scenes staged for a new video. The props and furniture sculptures will be used again\, with the addition of new objects. The resulting work will more deeply explore the strange\, uncanny\, surreal\, or violent aspects of the performance. \n \nJa’Tovia Gary is a filmmaker and visual artist originally from Dallas\, Texas currently living and working in Brooklyn\, New York. Gary’s work is concerned with constructions of power and how raced and gendered beings navigate popular media. She earned her MFA in Social Documentary Filmmaking from the School of Visual Arts in New York. Her work has screened at festivals\, cinemas\, and institutions worldwide including Frameline LGBTQ Film Festival\, Edinburg International Film Festival\, The Whitney Museum\, Anthology Film Archives\, Atlanta Film Festival\, the Schomburg Center\, MoMa PS1\, Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles\, New Orleans Film Festival\, Ann Arbor Film Festival and elsewhere. She is the recipient of the Sundance Documentary Fund Production Grant and the Jerome Foundation Film and Video Grant. Gary participated in the Terra Foundation of American Art 2016 summer artist fellowship and is the 2017 artist in residence at the Jacob Burns Film Center. (Photo credit: Alexander Bell)\nProject:\nThe Giverny Diptych is comprised of two separate yet related experimental video pieces\, each filmed in Giverny\, France in and around Claude Monet’s famed gardens and residence. The work is concerned with ancestral memory\, Black womanist philosophy\, captivity and fugitivity\, the history of western imperialism\, and the presence of the Black feminine figure within the western fine art canon. During her time at the Workspace Residency the artist will complete the post production phase of Giverny I and Giverny II.\nThe artist will also experiment with the mounting of an installation titled On Attachment that features a short 16mm experimental animation as its centerpiece. \n \nDeniz Tortum is an artist working in film\, video\, and new media. He is a graduate of MIT Comparative Media Studies and the Open Documentary Lab. His most recent film\, If Only There Were Peace (co-directed with Carmine Grimaldi)\, premiered in 2017 at True/False Film Festival. Currently he is a fellow at Harvard Film Study Center\, working on a film about a hospital in Istanbul.\nProject:\nAn increasingly prominent\, but insistently opaque technology\, blockchain is a distributed database that maintains a continuously growing list of transactions. All transactions are confirmed by the thousands of users in the system. This results in both a highly detailed and transparent record of all actions\, as well as a decentralized yet secure system. This is in contrast to existing organizations we use for similar tasks\, like banks or server farms. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum are built using this blockchain technology. Blockchain-evangelists believe that this technology can lead to major changes in bureaucratic and economic structures\, disrupting global power relations. Critics\, like media theorist Ian Bogost and journalist Izabella Kaminska argue that these technologies will usher in an emergent form of techno-authoritarianism.\nDuring the residency\, the artist will develop a conceptual framework for blockchain-based artwork. The artist will research artworks that have conceptual ties with transience\, autonomy\, or governance\, along with current efforts of using blockchain as an artistic medium. The residency would lead to a critical work on the future themes & possibilities for blockchain art.\nThis project is a collaboration between the artist\, Ainsley Sutherland\, a designer with particular interest in blockchain and Ulya Soley\, assistant curator at Pera Museum in Istanbul.

SUMMARY:Dislocations: Sound Walk with Kalpana Subramanian
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, July 29\, 2017\n3pm\n@ Squeaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center\n$10 General | $7 Members \nAs part of the exhibit Shape of a Pocket\, artist Kalpana Subramanian will present an artist talk at Squeaky Wheel\, followed by a guided tour of the Allentown neighborhood where participants can explore her locative sound work Dislocations\, a work that alludes to Italo Calvino’s novel Invisible Cities. \nQuotes from Calvino’s essential story appear as one navigates the streets of Buffalo\, allowing us to imagine where the invisible cities of Zenobia\, Eudoxia\, Octavia or Isadora might be within Buffalo. Metaphoric cities come into existence both from Calvino’s text and from personal histories of the artist and the walker as they explore the city. The soundscapes are collages of personal memories of travels in Indonesia\, Japan\, India woven in with voices of people from Buffalo\, and elsewhere reflecting on spaces. Visions of other countries or cultures come to life as we navigate the streets of the city. Music\, spoken word and abstract soundscapes help draws attention to the nuances of physical spaces around us as we seek further clues into their history\, or recreate in our minds imaginary cities. In the walk around Irving Pl the artist has woven sounds of the gamelan in Bali\, sung poetry of Tagore\, words of people living on the street recounting its history\, the call of street vendors in Bangalore\, among many others. \nKalpana Subramanian is an artist-filmmaker and Ph.D candidate at the Department of Media Study at the State University of New York at Buffalo. Her current work focuses on experimentation with the moving image\, and trans-media practices. She was awarded a Fulbright Nehru Academic and Professional Excellence Fellowship to pursue research on Stan Brakhage at the Film Studies Program at University of Colorado Boulder in 2015-16. Having graduated from the National Institute of Design (India) with a specialization in Film and Video\, in 2000\, she worked independently for 15 years\, making short films ranging across diverse filmmaking contexts. She worked closely with visionary multimedia artist Ranjit Makkuni at Sacred World Research Laboratory on several interactive exhibits and museums. Her commissioned films have been part of exhibits at the National Gallery of Modern Art & Prince of Wales Museum (Mumbai)\, National Museum (New Delhi)\, among many others. Her films have been screened at various festivals including the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival\, Interfilm Berlin\, Human Rights Film Festival (Spain)\, Green Film Festival (Korea) and Signes de Nuit (Paris/Bangkok/Berlin/Lisbon)\, Big Ears Festival 2017\, among others. Awards include a UK Environmental Film Fellowship 2006\, Jury’s Special Mention at the CMS Vatavaran Film Festival\, the International Audi Design Award 1996\, Merit award for Conservation Message\, Award for Creative Approach and Cinematography at the International Film Festival of Montana and a nomination for a Wildscreen (Panda) award. Portrait of Yvonne Lo in Assisi\, a video installation won an audience award at the Documentary Festival of History and Archeology in Perugia\, Italy in 2015. Subramanian has taught film and communication design at undergraduate level for over 10 years. She is also a published children’s book author and western classical vocalist.
