Join us at Silo City as we welcome back the artist for a night of dreamy music\, poetry\, and film\, including Aidan Ryan\, Cages\, and Colorado-based poet and operator of the Dream Delivery Service\, Mathias Svalina. \nMary Helena Clark is an artist working in film\, video\, and installation. Her work uses the language of collage\, often bringing together disparate subjects and styles that suggest an exterior logic or code\, to explore dissociative states through cinema. Clark’s films have screened at the 2017 Whitney Biennial (New York)\, the Wexner Center for the Arts (Columbus)\, Grazer Kunstverein (Graz\, Austria)\, Anthology Film Archives (New York)\, Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago)\, National Gallery of Art (Washington DC)\, the Swedish Film Institute (Stockholm)\, and at the International Film Festival Rotterdam\, the New York Film Festival\, the Toronto International Film Festival\, BFI London Film Festival\, the Hong Kong International Film Festival\, and BAMcinématek\, among others. She has curated film programs at Altman Siegel (San Francisco)\, The Nightingale (Chicago)\, and Bridget Donahue (New York).

SUMMARY:[Noo Phone in the Black Space]: or How to Avoid Roaming Charges
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 25 + Friday\, May 26\n7pm\n@ Silo City\nFree and open to the general public \nSqueaky Wheel is proud to present an augmented reality performance by Buffalo based media artist Yvette Granata and San Jose based artist and performer Andrew Blanton. For two consecutive evenings the artists will install and perform in a visual\, sonic performance that transforms the grand halls of Silo City through emerging technologies. \nCan augmented reality be used as the creation of new forms of collectivity? Or does it produce new forms of spatio-temporal apartheids? Through their respective approaches to performative augmentation and mobile media\, Andrew Blanton and Yvette Granata’s works inquire into the manner in which augmented reality and media performance can be framed as a critical dialogue between the alliances and the vacuoles of mobile realities. \nInterpreting augmented reality as performance space\, their works are audiovisual performances and variations on collective and un-collective space. The works form a critical dialogue on augmented life\, collecting performances of sound and image — an ambient group text message\, a vertical disorientation through camera-apps\, a hand-held sonic immersion\, and a modulation of ambient feedback of the Silos.

SUMMARY:Open Source Estrogen
DESCRIPTION:By Mary Tsang & Byron Rich\nCo-presented by Coalesce BioArt Lab\, University at Buffalo\n\nSqueaky Wheel is excited to announce a workshop by Coalesce BioArt Lab artists in residence Mary Tsang and Byron Rich. \nOur world is an alien landscape filled with toxicities. Petrochemical\, agricultural\, and pharmaceutical industries all contribute to the permeation of endocrine disrupting molecules into our environment\, queering both our bodies and the bodies of non-human species. This can be seen as a form of slow violence that is pervasive yet difficult to perceive. Without reinforcing a politics of purity\, how can we as citizens effectively respond? \nIn the Open Source Estrogen workshop\, participants work in teams to construct a DIY solid phase extraction system\, then perform detection using yeast-based biosensors for estrogenic compounds. Water samples will be collected from the following locales: the Buffalo water front\, Scajaquada Creek\, the Erie Canal and the Niagara River. \nByron Rich is an assistant professor at Alleghany College and Mary Maggic Tsang who is currently working on her MFA at MIT have joined forces to trouble the toxins around us. They use chemical processes to identify endocrine disrupters in our waterways and in return they have proposed an educational workshop that will then allow the audience to take part in this research. \nCoalesce: Center for Biological Arts is a hybrid studio laboratory facility dedicated to enabling hands-on creative engagement with the tools and technologies of the life sciences. \n\nFree for Squeaky Wheel members and UB students | Non-Members $10 \nPlease register by March 31st. \nWhile our website is under construction\, please register via phone (716) 884-7172 or contact alex@squeaky.org

SUMMARY:Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 11\n 2-7pm\n @ Squeaky Wheel\n FREE\nPLEASE RSVP \nSqueaky Wheel is proud to participate in the Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon! This worldwide event asks writers\, editors\, and enthusiasts all over the world to log on to Wikipedia and contribute to the world’s encyclopedia by adding\, editing\, and expanding pages of women artists. We invite people of all gender identities and expressions\, particularly trans- and cis-gendered women\, to participate. \nAt Squeaky Wheel\, we will focus on women in media art\, and are very excited to be collaborating with three essential media arts distributors who will provide special access to their collections: Electronic Arts Intermix (NYC)\, Video Data Bank (Chicago)\, and Vtape (Toronto). The editors of Peach Mag will also be joining us\, for those interested in women and non-binary people in the literary arts. \nCo-presented by Buffalo State College’s Women & Gender Studies Interdisciplinary Minor and UB’s Department of Art and Department of Media Study. \nAbout Art+Feminism \nArt+Feminism began as a conversation between four friends who wanted to create meaningful changes to the body of knowledge available about feminism and the arts on Wikipedia. We had no idea that what started as a small gathering would mushroom into a global initiative. \nWhy? | Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate\, the practical effect of the disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of female participation. This represents an alarming absence in an important repository of shared knowledge. \nImpact | Every March since 2014\, we’ve gathered at 280+ events across six continents\, to create and improve thousands of Wikipedia pages for artists like Tina Charlie\, LaToya Ruby Frazier\, Ana Mendieta\, Augusta Savage\, and Frances Stark. \nFor more information about the worldwide event\, and to see other Edit-a-Thon’s happening concurrently around the world\, see the Art+Feminism website. \nWe encourage attendees to create a Wikipedia account prior to the event. Please bring your laptop and power cord. \nChildcare is available at no cost – please contact caitlin@squeaky.org by March 4 and include the first names and number of children requiring care\, their ages\, and what time you plan on attending. \nRefreshments generously provided by BreadHive.

With images (sensual\, sexual and defiant) and words intended to provoke\, Anthem reasserts the “self-evident right” to life and liberty in an era of pervasive anti-gay\, anti-Black backlash and hysterical cultural repression. \n \nCipka (Pussy)\nRenata Gąsiorowska\n8min / digital / Poland / 2015\nA young girl spends the evening alone at home. She decides to have some sweet solo pleasure session\, but not everything goes according to plan. \ndiamonds.\nKatiuska Herrand\n1min / digital / USA / 2013\nProduced by: Ladi’Sasha Jones ladijones.com/\nDirected by: Tiona McClodden for Harriet’s Gun Media harrietsgunmedia.com\nhow to love a woman\, incorrectly\nThere is nothing casual about love\, nothing casual about women\, or breaking hearts. Every relationship we find ourselves in\, the situations and the circumstances\, for the effect we have on them this book is written. For the long nights and manic thoughts\, unsteady behavior\, bad habits\, this book is written. For the men\, and women\, and whoever says there’s something in between\, that have ever loved a woman\, this book is written. \n \nDesire Pie\nLisa Crafts\n5min / digital / USA / 1976\nExplicitly and unabashedly erotic\, this humorous\, fantasy-filled animation is a celebration of the joys of sex\, set to a magnetic jazz score. Just under 5 minutes in length\, this jubilant artifact from the sexually liberated 70’s portrays a couple aided by additional lips\, tongues\, imaginings\, and positions\, featuring points of view rarely seen. In addition to all the fun\, Desire Pie is also utilized as a teaching aid for women’s studies\, history of erotic art\, sexuality studies and sex therapy.\nDesire Pie has been screened at the Museum of Modern Art\, Tribeca Film Festival\, Annecy International Film Festival\, Light Industry\, Yerba Buena Art Center\, Ann Arbor Film Festival and Boston Independent Film Festival. It is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art\, NY. \nVanilla Sex\nCheryl Dunye\n3min / digital / USA / 1992\nIs it who you do\, or what you do? \n \nSHE WHOSE BLOOD IS CLOTTING IN MY UNDERWEAR\nVika Kirchenbauer\n3 min / digital / Germany / 2016\nMade for the performance project Cool For You\, this video follows an artist’s research on thermal vision and the enhanced gazes of modern warfare. She uses these technical means to discuss intimacy and the body. \n \nDo You Want to Go For a Drive?\nKelly Gallagher\n5min / digital / USA / 2016\nDo You Want to Go for a Drive? is an experimental essay film by Kelly Gallagher\, illustrating the importance of consent. The film also explores sexual agency\, love\, pleasure\, mutual desire\, violence\, vengeance\, the moon and the sky. The title\, a call and response with the final line of the film (“It’s you I really want to drive”)\, more importantly serves to commence the entire viewing experience with the asking of a question- which is how all sexual encounters should begin\, with the asking for consent. – Kelly Gallagher \n \nSolitary Acts #6\nNazlı Dinçel\n11min / 16mm / USA / 2015\nThis is a feminist critique of the Oedipal complex. The filmmaker recounts an abortion she had in 2009. The aborted child survives and becomes her lover. Her subject is filmed in a private act\, complicating what could be an act of the solitary. -Nazlı Dinçel \nSense Her\nTara Merenda Nelson\nLive Performance / Super 8mm with Live Sound on Record Player / USA / 2011\nSense Her is a 1970’s stag film (Super 8 color) showing a naked woman performing a ‘bellydance’ with a plastic statue of a man. Before I show the film\, I distribute “censor bars” to the audience; these are made of cardboard rectangles and squares attached to long pieces of wire. I ask the audience to help me ‘censor’ the film as it plays by blocking out the ‘naughty bits’. I also play a record of bellydance music on a record player during the performance.\nThe result is very entertaining\, as the individual members of the audience reach to “censor” the dancers’ naked body while she jiggles and gyrates on the screen. As the shots change from wide angle to close up\, the censor bars are caught in a dance of their own\, as they attempt to anticipate the dancers’ next move. The audience becomes engaged not only in a dialog with the image on screen\, but in a broader contextualization of the expectations of censorship in our society. – Tara Nelson
