SUMMARY:Kristen Johnson's Cameraperson
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 4th\, 2017\n 7pm\n Free and open to the public \nWhat does it mean to film another person? How does it affect that person – and what does it do to the one who films? \nA boxing match in Brooklyn; life in postwar Bosnia and Herzegovina; the daily routine of a Nigerian midwife; an intimate family moment at home: these scenes and others are woven into Cameraperson (2016)\, a tapestry of footage captured over the twenty-five-year career of documentary cinematographer Kirsten Johnson. Through a series of episodic juxtapositions\, Johnson explores the relationships between image makers and their subjects\, the tension between the objectivity and intervention of the camera\, and the complex interaction of unfiltered reality and crafted narrative. A work that combines documentary\, autobiography\, and ethical inquiry\, Cameraperson is both a moving glimpse into one filmmaker’s personal journey and a thoughtful examination of what it means to train a camera on the world. \nPresented by Cultivate Cinema Circle.

SUMMARY:Angela Washko | The Game: The Game 2.0
DESCRIPTION:Opening September 15\, 2017\, 7–9pm\n Conversation with Angela Washko and Stephanie Rothenberg: 7:30pm\n On view through December 9\, 2017\, Tue–Sat\, 12–5pm \nPublic Programs:\nSeptember 18\, 6pm: Angela Washko @ University at Buffalo Art Department Speaker Series\nSeptember 19\, 4pm: Angela Washko @ Digital Humanities Group at Canisius College\nOctober 28\, 2pm: Playthrough at Squeaky Wheel with Feminista Social Club \nSqueaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Pittsburgh based artist\, Angela Washko\, opening September 15th. Featuring Washko’s latest iteration of her video game The Game: The Game\, the exhibition invites audiences to engage with the world of pick-up artists from the point of view of a femme presenting person. The opening will feature a public conversation between Washko and artist Stephanie Rothenberg. A newly commissioned essay by Dorothy Santos accompanies the exhibit. Please be advised that The Game: The Game features challenging content. This game contains sexual scenarios and may not be suitable for audiences under 18\, and contains situations depicting sexual violence and non-consensual exchanges. \nThe Game: The Game is a video game presenting the practices of several prominent seduction coaches (aka pick-up artists or PUAs) through the format of a dating simulator. In the game these pick-up gurus attempt to seduce the player using their signature techniques taken verbatim from their instructional books and video materials. The game sets up the opportunity for players to explore the complexity of the construction of social behaviors around dating as well as the experience of being a femme-presenting individual navigating this complicated terrain. \n \nThe Game: The Game is a continuation of BANGED\, a two year-long project during which Angela Washko interviewed Bang series author and manosphere figurehead Roosh V\, and tried to get in contact with his alleged sexual partners. After working on BANGED\, the black and white ways in which this field has been portrayed through the media seemed too simple and unfair to all parties who encountered it and provoked this question: Is practicing “game” inherently wrong and dishonest\, or can it be practiced in a way that simply levels the dating playing field in favor of those who are otherwise socially or physically disadvantaged? By disguising the most notorious PUAs alongside “game-less” individuals and PUAs-in-training\, and placing the player into the often unsafe position of trying to distinguish between them all\, Washko hopes to add levels of complexity to public conversations around both pick-up and feminism which have both found themselves presented in highly polarized\, dichotomous positions in mainstream media. \n \n“One of the most fascinating aspects of The Game: The Game is the ability to respond to words taken verbatim from Pick-up Artist (PUA) instructionals. PUA culture may seem marginal to most\, restricted to specialized DVDs and obscure internet forums\, however interacting with The Game: The Game provides a much more subtle understanding of these social behaviors in our culture. Dating-simulators have a history of depicting disturbing behavior\, presented with a normalizing touch and from the perspective of a male; The Game: the Game\, has players embody a woman who is the target of PUA’s\, upending the genre’s conventions. The images–abstract\, dark\, with disturbing or absurd details\, and static like most dating-sims–work in tandem with Xiu Xiu’s low beats and drones to illustrate a systemic nature to the behaviors on display. Crucially\, the game’s depiction of male aggression is anything but simple. Washko’s long-term research has been about bridging communities – in this case feminists and the manosphere – to understand each other outside of their echo chambers. The multiple paths and possibilities in the game allows the player to safely explore these behaviors through replays. It’s an essential work\, giving us a nuanced view of how desire\, violence\, and complicity function in our day to day lives.” – Ekrem Serdar \nBiography of Angela Washko\nAngela Washko is an artist\, writer and facilitator devoted to creating new forums for discussions of feminism in spaces frequently hostile toward it. Since 2012\, Washko has operated The Council on Gender Sensitivity and Behavioral Awareness in World of Warcraft\, an ongoing intervention inside the most popular online role-playing game of all time. Washko’s most recent project\, The Game: The Game is a video game presenting the practices of several prominent seduction coaches (aka pick-up artists) through the format of a dating simulator. In the game these pick-up gurus attempt to seduce the player using their signature techniques taken verbatim from their instructional books and video materials. \nA recent recipient of a Franklin Furnace Performance Fund Grant\, a Frank-Ratchye Fund for Art at the Frontier Grant from the STUDIO for Creative Inquiry\, and a Rhizome Internet Art Microgrant\, Washko’s practice has been highlighted in Art in America\, Frieze Magazine\, Time Magazine\, The Guardian\, ArtForum\, ARTnews\, The Hairpin\, VICE\, Hyperallergic\, Rhizome\, the New York Times\, Neural Magazine and more. Her projects have been presented nationally and internationally at venues including Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art (Helsinki)\, Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art\, the Milan Design Triennale\, the Shenzhen Independent Animation Biennial and the Rotterdam International Film Festival. Her writing has been published in Creative Time Reports\, FIELD Journal of Socially Engaged Art Criticism\, Copenhagen University Peer Reviewed Journal (NTIK)\, Neural Magazine\, VASA Journal of Images and Culture\, .dpi Feminist Magazine of Art and Digital Culture\, ANIMAL NY and more.

DESCRIPTION:Aaron Bjork\, Tectonics\, digital video\, 2015\nFriday\, September 1\, 2017\n7:30pm\n@ the Albright-Knox Art Gallery \nFree and open to the public as part of M&T First Fridays. \nSqueaky Wheel’s Animation Fest returns for its 14th year with animations by emerging and established artists from around the world! Designed for ages 6 and up\, this family-friendly affair is an annual showcase culled from a public call for submissions and features some of the most innovative artists working across various media. \nThis year’s 49 minute program will take place once again at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery during M&T First Friday. Demonstrating a wide range of animation methods\, from stop-motion\, hand-drawn works\, pieces made with open source custom software\, analogue video effects\, and more\, the program tells stories about diverse forms of existence and the nature of life. The screening includes works such as a philosophical science fiction film\, a screen-printed life story\, an absurd domestic drama\, and a mysterious trip towards enlightenment\, among others. Throughout the program you will witness all kinds of transformations\, either of life itself or of emotions that lead to surprising outcomes. Bring your family\, bring your friends! \nCurated by Jean Zhu\, Squeaky Wheel’s Spring 2017 Curatorial Intern. Squeaky Wheel’s 14th Animation Fest is generously sponsored by Villa Maria’s Animation Program. \nProgram ~49 minutes \nShip of Fools | Josh Shaffner\n6:00min\, digital\, 2016\nLife on earth through time and space from the present time to 4000 years ahead\, in non-chronological order. The settings change\, humans do not. It’s “a cry for help.” \nWednesday with Goddard | Nicolas Ménard\n4:30min\, digital\, 2016\nA personal quest for spiritual enlightenment leads to romance and despair. \nAdam | Evelyn Jane Ross\n2:27min\, digital\, 2017\nIn the beginning of them\, she created us.

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:Art and the Documentary Turn with Rachael Rakes & Leo Goldsmith
DESCRIPTION:Art and the Documentary Turn with Rachael Rakes & Leo Goldsmith\nWednesday\, August 16th\, 7-9pm\n$7 members / $10 general \nLed by Workspace residents Rachael Rakes and Leo Goldsmith\, this lecture / processual seminar considers the post-1990s “documentary turn” within contemporary art\, taking on coextensive pivots in non-fiction cinema towards a language of video art and installation\, from a variety of historical\, curatorial\, and critical perspectives. In addition to looking at examples in moving-image media\, the seminar touches upon artists working with still images\, objects\, performance\, sound\, interactivity\, and activism as documentary practice. Rakes and Goldsmith will discuss the relative discourses of documentary media and the art world\, consider the relationship between the traditions of art\, documentary\, archival research\, and journalism\, and raise issues of presentation\, contextualization\, and preservation for curators and artists alike in the current regime of contemporary art and neoliberal politics. The seminar will touch upon issues of production and exhibition of all forms of documentary art practice\, and also consider the politics and ethics of art-making in the social realm. This event should be of of interest to artists\, filmmakers\, curators\, activists\, writers\, and anyone interested in media and social practice. \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.

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.
