SUMMARY:Workspace Residency: Public Presentations
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 8\, 2018\n6:30pm door | 7pm Start\nFree and open to the public \nJoin us for an evening with our Summer 2018 Workspace residents\, Avye Alexandres (Buffalo\, NY)\, Devin Hentz (Dakar\, Senegal)\, and Emily Martinez (Glendale\, CA)\, at the first public event as part of their residency. The artists and researchers will be delivering ~20 minute presentations on their work and projects. This free event is an excellent opportunity to get to know the residents and their projects as they begin their three-week time at Squeaky Wheel! \nResearch resident Devin Hentz will be investigating the linguistic implications of the vocabulary that develops around second-hand clothing in African countries. She will also design and construct new textiles that play or refer to these local names and their literal meanings / translations through the use of 3D models in Blender. Artist Resident Emily Martinez will be working on a series of videos for an escape room that builds towards a live-action multimedia escape room game Eternal Boy Playground. The game explores cultural tropes and trends that spring up around cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin as they relate to the utopian ideals of a group of self-proclaimed “Puertopians” who are flocking to Puerto Rico in the wake of Hurricane Maria. Finally\, Silo City Resident Avye Alexandres will be utilizing Buffalo’s most well-known public landmark\, Silo City\, to present an absurdist performance sparked by the manipulative tactics and rhetoric used in housing market investment education workshops. \nBios of the residents\nAvye Alexandres was born in Athens\, Greece\, and moved to the United States at the age of six. Her multidisciplinary art practice\, which investigates the psychosocial ramifications of structures and space\, stems from her background in photography and theatre. Evolving from site-based performances her work now encompasses immersive sculpture\, locative media\, experimental digital narratives\, conceptual works\, photography and video\, as well as participatory experiences and installations. In 2015\, she received her MFA in Art and Emerging Practices from the University at Buffalo\, and has exhibited at venues such as the Burchfield Penney Art Center\, The Soap Factory\, IFP-MN Center for Media Arts\, and the Weismann Art Museum. \nDevin Hentz is a researcher and writer based in Dakar\, Senegal. She recently participated in the second session of the RAW Academie\, directed by Chimurenga\, at RAW Material Company before working there as a librarian and researcher. She is the founder of the B/Look Club which meets once per month to activate the archive of RAW Base (RAW’s Library). Her writings have been published in LESS Magazine and the upcoming issue of Something We Africans Got. Her areas of interests include\, Afro/African futures\, development narratives in Africa\, dress practices\, and radical pedagogy. \nEmily Martinez is a new media artist\, front-end developer\, digital strategist\, educator\, and serial collaborator. She believes in the tactical misuse of technology\, and makes artworks that take on the sharing economy\, digital labor struggles\, algorithmic bias\, surveillance capitalism\, crypto colonialism\, tech bros\, and tech culture at large.

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.

SUMMARY:Presentations by Workspace Residents
DESCRIPTION:Presentations by Workspace Residents\nThursday\, August 24th\, 2017\n 7pm\n Free and open to the general public \nJoin us at as our Summer 2017 Workspace Residents give brief presentations about their work. Every resident will give a 15 minute artist talk on the projects and research they’ve undertaken in their three week residency at Squeaky Wheel. 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.
