Detroit\, Michigan\, and raised in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, United States of America. Lives and works in New York\, United States of America. Initially a poet\, Jenson Leonard became interested in memes during his six-year tenure as a cook at a Belgian waffle kiosk. He found himself drawn to the immediacy and reach of instant publication on social media\, the confluence of which exacerbate the arguably inherent power of the image for those who see. His early work used the canonical Twitter meme format\, but developed into the more ornately parodic style that predominates in the left-leaning corners of Facebook.

His work has been featured in VICE Motherboard\, Juxtapoz\, AQNB\, and Rhizome. \nAMERICAN ARTIST makes thought experiments that mine the history of technology\, race\, and knowledge production\, beginning with their legal name change in 2013.

SUMMARY:Jenson Leonard: GLAND PRIX
DESCRIPTION:Opening Friday\, May 27\, 2022 at Squeaky Wheel\nOn view through August 29\, 2022\, Tuesday and Wednesdays\, 12–5pm and by appointment.\nClick here to download the GLAND PRIX Strategy Guide (V. 3.00)\nSqueaky Wheel is excited to present a new solo exhibition by new media artist Jenson Leonard. GLAND PRIX is a multiple-screen video exhibition to explore the stressors and somatic effects that racial capitalism and white supremacy have on Black life. \nFeaturing a drum and bass soundtrack\, the newest work by the Philadelphia based new media artist and poet functions as a manifestation and reflection of the embodied effects of settler-colonial violence. The work is emblematic of Leonard’s singular\, joyous\, and concentrated work: Using the visual tactics and language of viral internet memes\, and wrapped within racing iconography\, GLAND PRIX considers and draws from pop culture\, medical racism/medical apartheid\, the video game Gran Turismo\, Achille Mbembe’s notion of necropolitics\, anime aesthetics\, and much more to raise awareness\, invite conversation\, and reflect upon the cumulative\, cellular burden of chronic stress and traumatic life events. \nThe opening of the exhibition will feature remarks with the artist in person. A “Strategy Guide” for the exhibition provides a walkthrough of the exhibition with visual and audio descriptions\, explanations of Leonard’s key references\, and a newly commissioned essay by Cameron A. Granger. \nThe exhibition is on view Tuesdays and Wednesdays\, 12–5 pm and by appointment. To make an appointment\, email ekrem@squeaky.org. \nThis project was made possible through support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. \nPublic programs \nPOSTPONED – Tuesday\, May 24\, 6–8:30 pm : Workshop | Meme workshop with Jenson Leonard (in-person and virtual). \nFriday\, May 27\, 7 pm: Opening | GLAND PRIX  with Jenson Leonard (in-person) \nWednesday\, June 15\, 12 pm ET: Artist talk | Jenson Leonard and American Artist in conversation.

SUMMARY:Crystal Z Campbell and Allan Jamieson
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, May 3\, 7 pm\nat Journeys End Refugee Services theater (5th floor of Tri-Main Building\, 2495 Main St #530\, Buffalo\, NY 14214)\nFree or suggested donation\nClick here to register\nAccess information: Proof of COVID-19 vaccination through a Vaccination card or NY Excelsior Pass will be required for entry. Masks will be required for the duration of the event. \nFeaturing three short films of legends that flow from Niagara Falls to Sweden\, Squeaky Wheel and Buffalo Arts Studio present an evening with filmmakers Crystal Z Campbell and Allan Jamieson. The three films bring to fore questions on how we imagine and relate to lands we inhabit\, from the settler-colonial mindset critiqued in Jamieson’s 1996 documentary Thunderbeings and the Maid of the Mist\, to the fugitivity of migrants in contemporary Sweden in Campbell’s VIEWFINDER. The hour long program will be followed by a Q&A with Campbell and Jamieson on their work and the shared themes between their films. \nThe program is presented as part of Crystal Z Campbell\, VIEWFINDER\, an immersive film installation at Buffalo Arts Studio that takes cues from Swedish folktales\, gestures\, and movements to explore belonging\, allyship\, and living monuments. If our bodies are archives\, what is the currency of place\, of movement\, of memory? \nProgram \nCrystal Z Campbell\, A Meditation on Nature in the Absence of an Eclipse\, 8:12 min\, 2016-2020  \nA Meditation on Nature in the Absence of an Eclipse is a poetic glimpse of how centuries of extraction\, racism\, pollution\, and commoditizing nature has altered our relationship to sacred land and resources. How has nature been historically shaped and imaged for pleasure\, status\, and control by many hands of invisible labor? Constellated and intersectional histories and source material include testimony from a Water Protector at Standing Rock protesting the Dakota Access Pipeline\, contaminated water in Flint Michigan\, original footage of Hierve el Agua near Oaxaca\, Mexico revered for its healing properties\, archival images of gardens and hands of artists who resided in Tulsa\, Oklahoma and children brushing their teeth––a reflection of the innocuous ways which contaminated water and resources shapes the lives of individuals completing banal\, daily\, routine tasks. \nCritical to the film is the intentional use of unlicensed footage\, bearing a brand across the center that detracts from what’s happening in the actual footage\, and becomes a viewfinder for how that footage is read or deemed important enough to view because there is a branded stamp of approval. Historically\, the watermark is used to connote ownership and authenticity. The film is a consideration of how documentary practice can be another form of resource extraction\, of which this filmmaker is implicated. Licensing fees are an example of the barriers to access\, ultimately deciding who will control critical narratives of environmental racism and discourse. Originally commissioned by Wave Hill Public Garden & Cultural Center\, the work was made in 2017 and reedited in 2020. – Crystal Z Campbell \nAllan Jamieson\, Thunderbeings and the Maid of the Mist\, 26 min\, 1996\n“This is a Seneca teaching story\, whose true meaning is one of sharing. The sharing of information with each other. The sharing of letting each other know when something is wrong.” – Allan Jamieson \nCharting both a moment in Western New York’s Native American activism and a rare document of a Seneca chief and elder\, Allan Jamieson’s 1996 film Thunderbeings and the Maid of the Mist takes on a racist educational video and retelling of the Haudenosaunee legend of the Maid of the Mist by the Maid of the Mist corporation\, which operates the famous Niagara Falls boat tours. Jamieson’s documentary showcases segments of the Maid of the Mist corporation’s video\, showcasing how it is informed by Western and colonial viewpoints\, followed by interviews with tourists on their thoughts on the legend. The film is especially notable for featuring an extended interview with the late Seneca Chief and elder Corbett Sundown\, who tells the original story of the Maid of the Mist as it was told to him by his grandparents\, and passed away after filming was completed. \nThe film was part of extended efforts by our region’s Native American communities to pressure the Maid of the Mist Corporation to change its false gallery exhibit and video. Initially resistant\, the Maid of the Mist Corporation eventually did so. \nThe documentary received support from the New York State Council of the Arts\, and was edited in Squeaky Wheel’s post-production studio in 1996. The film is presented here in a digital transfer from a 3/4 tape\, broadcast as part of Squeaky Wheel’s Axlegrease television show in 1997. Learn more about Axlegrease here. – Ekrem Serdar \nCrystal Z Campbell\, VIEWFINDER\, 18:26 min\, 2020 \nFilmed entirely in Swedish spa town\, VIEWFINDER takes cues from political gestures\, and decisive movements to explore belonging\, allyship\, and monuments. – Crystal Z Campbell \nBiographies of the artists \nAllan Jamieson is a Faithkeeper from the wolf clan of the Cayuga people\, one of the Six Nations.

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.

SUMMARY:Meet the Residents: Carlos Castellanos and Zain Alam
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, March 17\, 7 pm ET\nFree or suggested donation\nRegister here\nSqueaky Wheel is pleased to present this virtual artist talk with our Spring 2022 artist residents\, Carlos Castellanos (Rochester\, NY) and Zain Alam (Brooklyn\, NY). The two artists will be presenting and speaking to their previous and current projects\, and engage in a Q&A moderated by curator Ekrem Serdar. \nDuring their residency\, Carlos Castellanos will be utilizing the facilities of Squeaky Wheel and our Workspace partner The Foundry to work on Beauty\, a machine-microbial system featuring a bio-driven artificial intelligence system. The project remediates contaminated soil ecology while generating audio and visuals of the process in real-time. Zain Alam will be utilizing the space and resonance of Silo City to work on I Am Sitting in a Room\, an audio-visual exercise in layering recitations of the azaan (the Islamic call to prayer) to distill them into tonal content. \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 \nCarlos Castellanos is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher with a wide array of interests such as cybernetics\, ecology\, embodiment\, phenomenology\, artificial intelligence and transdisciplinary collaboration. His work bridges science\, technology\, education and the arts\, developing a network of creative interaction with living systems\, the natural environment and emerging technologies. His artworks have been exhibited at local\, national and international events such as the International Symposium of Electronic Art (ISEA)\, SIGGRAPH & ZERO1 San Jose. Castellanos is Assistant Professor at the School of Interactive Games & Media (IGM)\, Rochester Institute of Technology. He holds a Ph.D. from the School of Interactive Arts and Technology (SIAT)\, Simon Fraser University and an MFA from the CADRE Laboratory for New Media\, San Jose State University. \nZain Alam is an artist and musician of Indian-Pakistani origin based in Brooklyn\, NY. Described as “a unique intersection\, merging the cinematic formality of Bollywood and geometric repetition of Islamic art\,” his recording project Humeysha began during his year working as an oral historian for the 1947 Partition Archive. His work is a project of translation using contemporary pop forms\, found sound\, and oral history as means of investigating one’s position in an outside tradition or community. Alam’s practice extends his sonic vision into video\, performance\, and writing. His works are braided together by a passion for the borrowed voice\, re/de-contextualization\, and bricolage — for how a personal mosaic of sound can empower minority and marginalized to engage in self-creation on their own terms. His essays have been published in Miami Rail\, Buzzfeed\, and The New Yorker\, and Humeysha has been covered by the New York Times\, Vice\, and Village Voice. His performances have been staged at venues including Public Arts\, Webster Hall\, and the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Alam has most recently completed fellowships with Bruce High Quality Foundation\, Marble House\, and South Asian American Digital Archive. \nWorkspace Residency is generously supported by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and the National Endowment for the Arts. Thank you to Hostel-Buffalo Niagara for sponsoring this session of the program.

DESCRIPTION:February 9–14\, 2022\nFree or suggested donation\nRegister here\n“[i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me] is an unflinching reckoning with the irreparable: Can we truly “let go” in the wake of a rupture? How does one recover from loss\, and its accumulation\, other than by inhabiting it? What does it take to give oneself over to grief? With these questions in mind\, I understand the three screens\, as well as the bubbles and text that they contain\, as a set of layers\, each one necessarily encrypting the next.” – Camille Bacon \nA five day series of emails featuring writing and media\, [ E N | C L O S I N G ] features responses by artists to SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY’s exhibition and web project i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me. \nCurated by the artist and Camille Bacon\, audiences can sign up to receive one email per day starting February 9th and through February 14th\, featuring a different artist speaking to both the themes of the exhibition\, and to Camille Bacon’s writing on HOLLOWAY’s work.

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. \nCY X (they/we) is a black queer non-binary storyteller and cyber witch merging sound\, video art\, installation\, and performance. Their practice is grounded in the art of synthesis: truth generation and sound generation which is used to create portals that may aid us in exploring black queer futures and abolitionist possibilities. Fusing art and technology with the practice of witchcraft\, they use spells\, rituals\, and alchemic practices as modes of activation. Cy earned a BA in Film and Media Studies from Colorado College and a Masters Degree from New York University’s Interactive Telecommunications Program. \nNatalie Jasmine Harris is a Black queer filmmaker from Maryland currently based in New York City. She received her BFA from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in May 2020. Her work spans narrative\, documentary\, and experimental forms but is centered around a mission to tell stories that capture coming-of-age experiences\, showcase Black joy\, and reimagine liberation for marginalized communities. Natalie’s most recent short film “Pure” received The 2020 Directors Guild of America’s Student Film Award and completed a film festival run that included over 40 festival screenings worldwide. The film received commendations from several film festivals that include ABFF\, Outfest\, The British Film Institute\, The Pan African Film Festival\, and many more. After placing as a Finalist in The 2021 American Black Film Festival’s HBO Short Competition\, “Pure” was acquired by HBO and is now streaming on HBOMax. Natalie is currently adapting the concept behind “Pure” into a feature-length film of the same name that has received support from SFFILM\, The Gotham (formerly known as IFP)\, and The Outfest Screenwriting Lab. \nzakkiyyah najeebah dumas o’neal makes work to further understand how the specificity of her own lived experiences are connected to historical and contemporary movements that involve embodied knowledge production. She explores this through social portraiture\, video assemblage\, collage\, drawing\, and found images. She seeks to reinforce a different kind of gaze (and gazing) which she processes through empathy\, desire\, love\, queer identity\, family\, intimacy\, illegibility\, and poetics. Within her projects there’s an overlying theme of trying to make sense of what and who she belongs to.\nUltimately\, she intends for her work to encourage ways of being and feeling beyond the systems we inhabit. zakkiyyah has been included in numerous group exhibitions and has had several solo exhibitions at Mana Contemporary\, Blanc Gallery\, Indiana University\, and South Bend Museum of Art.\nHer work has been presented in various forms at Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago\, NADA\, The Art Institute of Chicago\, The August Wilson African American Cultural Center\, Chicago Humanities Festival\, DePaul University\, and Harvard Graduate School of Design to name a few. She has also curated exhibitions at spaces such as Chicago Art Department\, Blanc gallery and Washington Park Arts Incubator at the University of Chicago. She was recently an Artist in Residence at Arts and Public Life at University of Chicago and an Artist in Residence at Indiana University in Bloomington\, IN. zakkiyyah is a Co-founder of CBIM (Concerned Black Image Makers): a collective of Black artists\, thinkers\, and curators that prioritize shared experiences and concerns by lens based artists of the Black diaspora. \nThis program was funded in part by the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Humanities New York with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nBanner image: A GIF from a screen capture on January 24\, 2022  at 5 pm ET of SHAWNE MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY\, https://iwouldvesaidgoodbyeif.ithoughtyouloved.me \, 2021

It will be followed by a discussion with the curator and guest filmmakers. \nCinema of Breath is based on Subramanian’s doctoral research in Media Study at the University at Buffalo. Her research into experimental film draws from breath practices in Yoga and Buddhist philosophy. Through this lens\, “breath” can be thought of as the creational force of cinema that brings it to “life.” \nClick here to download the program notes and learn more about the individual films and filmmakers. \nThe event will be accessible to audiences for 24 hours after the event. Squeaky Wheel members will have access for 72 hours. Not a member?

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?

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.

SUMMARY:SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY: i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me back
DESCRIPTION:Opening Wednesday\, October 6\, 2021 in Squeaky Wheel’s window gallery and online\nOn view through February 14\, 2022\nClick here to access the online project\nSqueaky Wheel is excited to present a solo exhibition and web project by artist and poet SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY. \nA memory stone and love letter\, i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me back is a four channel realtime multimedia installation and part two of HOLLOWAY’s DOG WHISTLE series. Using the series’ signature blue light and heavy bold text\, the work thinks through the aesthetics of accumulation and the vocabulary of loss using poetry and 3D objects that pile up and overflow. Each object on screen is a manipulation of a digital scan of an item that once held significance in the artist’s life and will be destroyed on a continuous loop for the duration of the installation. Parallel to the window installation\, i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me back is also accessible at home via the web and is programmed to evolve with audience participation through Valentine’s Day 2022. The exhibition will be accompanied by a newly commissioned essay on the artists work by Camille Bacon. Web development support provided by Nick Briz. \nThe artist invites you to submit photos of your own objects to be part of the work. These can be photographs of things you no longer have\, want\, or feel connected to\, that remind you of those you can no longer love. You can send the photograph as a text message to the number ‪(716) 650-0687‬ or via email to youlovedmeback@gmail.com .

SUMMARY:Coalition Building Towards Liberatory Technologies
DESCRIPTION:POSTPONED – Stay tuned for the new date!\nWednesday\, September 30\, 2021\, 7 pm ET\nFree or pay what you can\nRegister here\nAccessibility: ASL interpretation and open captions provided. \nOn the occasion of Johann Diedrick’s Dark Matters\, this panel with artists Johann Diedrick and Jenson Leonard and moderated by Richie Wills will discuss both the discriminatory and exploitative artificial intelligences of our current moment\, and imagine libertory future technologies. How would a libertatory artificial intelligence act? What are the networks\, communities\, and infrastructures we need to build our tomorrows? \nThe event will be available for 24 hours for everyone who registers\, and 72 hours for Squeaky Wheel members. This event is co-presented with Just Buffalo Literary Center. \nAbout the panelists \nJohann Diedrick is a Caribbean-American artist\, engineer\, and musician who makes installations\, performances\, and sculptures for encountering our 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 the founder of A Quiet Life\, a sonic engineering and research studio that designs and builds audio-related software and hardware products for delightfully encountering our environment and each other. He is a 2021 Mozilla Creative Media Award recipient\, a member of NEW INC\, and an adjunct professor at NYU’s ITP program.

Detroit\, Michigan\, and raised in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, United States of America. Lives and works in New York\, United States of America. Initially a poet\, Jenson Leonard became interested in memes during his six-year tenure as a cook at a Belgian waffle kiosk. He found himself drawn to the immediacy and reach of instant publication on social media\, the confluence of which exacerbate the arguably inherent power of the image for those who see. His early work used the canonical Twitter meme format\, but developed into the more ornately parodic style that predominates in the left-leaning corners of Facebook. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Pratt Institute. He has completed residencies at Obracadobra (Oaxaca\, Mexico)\, Squeaky Wheel (Buffalo\, NY) and Pioneer Works (Brooklyn\, NYC). His work has been featured in VICE Motherboard\, Juxtapoz\, AQNB\, and Rhizome. \nRICHIE WILLS holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the State University of New York at Buffalo.

He is also contributing writer for The Galactic Tribe and continues to work as a community organizer. Richie believes in the power of the written word and storytelling to bring people together and break barriers. \nAbout Just Buffalo Literary Center’s Civil Writes Project \nJust Buffalo Literary Center’s Civil Writes Project CELEBRATES the legacy of prominent Black writers who have called Buffalo home\, whose voices shape history\, inspire radical change\, and influence current and future generations of poets and writers; DRAWS INSPIRATION from Buffalo’s history as a gateway to freedom along the Underground Railroad; and CHALLENGES our community to grapple with racism and inequities through literature\, to find pathways toward justice in the power of the written word\, and to open hearts & minds as we confront our shared past and present in order to shape a more equitable future.

Please note that some films feature flashing images\, distorted video\, and distorted audio. You can see which films below. Descriptions and images for the films provided by the filmmakers. \nThese pieces speak to disruption or (re)construction\, largely by non-narrative means. It felt really relevant considering the world at large had experienced a huge disruption and almost simultaneous reconfiguration of their lives so recently. These two things aren’t necessarily opposites\, but complementary and sometimes the very antidote to one another.  When something we know to be just or honest isn’t\, we make a motion to disrupt that; that which we don’t understand\, we examine in an attempt to. – Tabia Lewis. \n \nTerrance Houle & Neko Wong-Houle\, Otanimm/Onnimm (Daughter/ Father)\, 3:33 min\, 2020\nA short animation based on the relationship of an Indigenous artist and his daughter\, and their deep connection to one another. Using dialogue\, music\, traditional animation\, stop-motion\, experimental DIY photography using Caffenol (coffee/vitamin C developer) and 2D rotoscoping Terrance and his daughter Neko share a unique look at an indigenous father/daughter story. \n \nEmma Geiger\, Elysian\, 1:06 min\, 2021\nElysian is an expression of a memory of connection\, reduced to momentary sketches.  In it the passage of time is experienced as the alternating absence and presence of light.  The images are a collection of memories in Southern California\, linked by their emotional content- a found paradise.   \n \nLydia Moyer\, Study for Unsettling\, 2:16\, 2016. This film features flashing images.\nSourced from images on cabinporn.com\, a popular website that catalogs pictures of tiny cabins in sublime landscapes\, Study for Unsettling is a frame-by-frame animation that erases the focal point of the built structures to recast the viewers’ attention on the natural environments in which the structures sit. The marks left are remnants of the disruptive energy of settlers. \n \nBecky Brown\, dark parts\, 4:51 min\, 2020. This film features distorted audio and video.\n“I was learning Blender when I started making this piece\, and while browsing related content\, I frequently saw renders posted of manicured houses too perfect to imagine myself living in them. These were renders of houses so well done you could mistake them for reality\, but so uncluttered that no one could possibly live there. So I decided I wanted to make a piece about putting some ugliness back in. I wrote and finished everything by February 2020\, just a month before the dream-like house-trap shown in this piece became a reality for everyone! Or\, said another way:\nThis piece is inspired by perfect\, impossible homes\,that exist only between magazine covers and the visions of architects. Homes before the people are in them\, before the newspaper pile on the sofa\, before the rotting grapefruit in the back of the fridge\, before the overflowing laundry basket beside the bed. Homes when they are just ideas\, places that seem to smudge all their textures away when you dream about them\, illuminated by axioms you are so certain of until you wake up. Homes that make you feel less like yourself. Homes when you’re not sure how to change. Homes that are just houses\, raw buildings in someone else’s plan for no one’s future.”\n \n \nBenjamin Rosenthal and Eric Souther\, the gleaners\, and: ritual for signaled bodies\, 8:33 min\, 2020. This film features flashing images and distorted audio.\nthe gleaners\, and: ritual for signaled bodies performs at the edges between body and the external\, oscillating and eroding those boundaries. A ritual for creating new worlds and situations for fragmented bodies\, signals pass through the joints of animated and genderless bodies and body parts entangling the body-signal-actions both materially and conceptually as these control mechanisms interfere with pre-animated content. Perpetually shifting surfaces and skins serve as sites of projection and interference\, contributing to the further “”queering”” of the state of these bodies and fragments that are stretched and submerged into and outside of the environment they inhabit\, as they encounter desire\, distress\, and ritualized oscillations. Signals that generate sounds and compel movement\, the making of the images\, and the body\, further challenges the stability and integrity of the space; it’s otherworldliness and the spatial relationships it establishes with the audience. At the edge between crisis and satisfaction\, the work adopts the role of Millet’s own “”gleaners\,”” making-do on the boundary between sustenance and the devoid.\nExtended Technical Information/Statement on LGBTQ Content:\nThis is an experimental animation that is made in part with live techniques where 3D animations are “”performed”” in synchronization with sound to produce images that are recorded\, layered\, re-performed\, and re-recorded. The process in which we make this is an innovative process that pushes the boundaries of what is possible via real-time rendering.\nIt is important for us to clarify as artists that we feel strongly that this film comes from a queer point of view and a queer perspective. Rosenthal (as a member of the LGBTQ community) and Souther as a strong ally\, are interested in disrupting hegemonic structures around what constitutes gay and queer aesthetics\, which often privilege cis-white\, gay male sexual desire as opposed to more diverse and divergent points of departure. The bodies in our work are both fundamentally queer in their presentation and in their actions\, but the work also subjects viewers to an experience of queer “”fragmentation.”” Rosenthal describes this “”fragmentation”” as related to a kind of slippage\, rather than traditional compartmentalization\, where identity and body construction become unstable. By subjecting the viewer to sensorially intense fragmentation\, we destabilize normative viewing experiences and “”queer”” the space of the audience.” \n \nPetra Zlonoga\, One of Many\, 5:32 min\, 2018\nI am one.

Some of the clips focus on animals and nature\, and one is from last year’s wildfires. The song itself is a pop song about perseverance and strength\, inspired by my recovery from an abusive relationship. \n \nGabriella Mykal\, all i have pt iii\, 1:47\, 2021.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:Starting with Access: Where a Film Begins with Jordan Lord
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, August 23\, 2021\, 6 pm ET\nFree or pay what you can.\nRegister here. Limited capacity.\nAccessibility: ASL interpretation and live-captions will be available.\nNew and experienced filmmakers are invited to a private workshop to learn critical concepts to creatively integrate forms of accessibility for disabled audiences into their films. Forms of access are usually treated as so-called “accommodations\,” left to third-party service providers to perform after a film or video has been completed. Understanding access as a way in or a means of approach\, participants will be asked to reimagine their creative process beginning with access as the first step in conceiving what a film is and how it will communicate with its audiences. \nWorkshop participants will be invited to frame access at intersections of disability\, race\, language\, class\, and gender\, while primarily focusing on two more-or-less codified access technologies––audio description (AD) for Blind\, low vision\, and other audiences and captioning for Deaf\, hard-of-hearing\, and other audiences.  \nLord will present examples of how disabled filmmakers have used access as integrated formal tools in their films\, while working through critical questions that emerge around practices of audio description and captioning––asking how the access needs of our audiences might guide our approaches to filmmaking. These complex and layered forms of communication are often presented as apparently neutral translations of images and sounds. But\, of course\, as numerous Blind\, Deaf\, and disabled audiences\, artists\, and activists have shown\, these translations are anything but neutral and often render segregation\, censorship\, and insufficient information\, while presenting manifold possibilities as creative and artistic tools.  \nBio of the artist \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). \nThis event is part of Squeaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency.
