SUMMARY:Kathleen Collins' Losing Ground
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, May 17\, 2017\n7pm\n@ Squeaky Wheel\nGeneral $7 | $5 for Squeaky Wheel Members\nPreceded by Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy-Headed People (1984) by Ayoka Chenzira \n“A NEARLY LOST MASTERWORK” —The New Yorker \n“EFFERVESCENT\, BRAINY\, and SEXY” — The Village Voice \nFunny\, brilliant\, and personal\, Kathleen Collins’ Losing Ground (1982) should have ranked high in the canon of 1980s American independent cinema but was never theatrically released. A key narrative feature written and directed by a black woman\, Collins’ passing at the age of 46 almost meant the films erasure from history\, until the filmmakers daughter and Milestone films set out to restore this vital work telling the story of a marriage of two remarkable people\, both at a crossroads in their lives. Sara (Seret Scott)\, a black professor of philosophy\, is embarking on an intellectual quest to understand “ecstasy” just as her painter husband Victor (Bill Gunn) sets off on a more earthy exploration of joy. Losing Ground is here paired with another key work of 80s black cinema\, the 10 minute animated musical satire Hair Piece: A Film for Nappy-Headed People (1984) by Ayoka Chenzira\, regarding the question of self image for African American women living in a society where beautiful hair is viewed as hair that blows in the wind and lets you be free. Curated by Squeaky Wheel’s Spring 2017 Curatorial Intern Caitlin Margaret Coder who will deliver introductory remarks. Special thanks to Women Make Movies and Milestone Films.

SUMMARY:Visions of an Island: Sky Hopinka in Person
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 15\n 7pm\n @ Squeaky Wheel\n General $7 | Free for Squeaky Wheel Members\n Presentation followed by a live Q&A with the artist \n“Staggeringly beautiful” – The New Yorker \n“The searching\, striking digital films of Sky Hopinka are complex formal arrangements\, conceptually and aesthetically dense\, characterized by an intricate layering of word and image. But they are also wellsprings of beauty and mystery\, filled with surprising confluences of speech and song\, color and motion.” – ArtForum \nMilwaukee based artist Sky Hopinka will present a screening of three of his films at Squeaky Wheel. Sky Hopinka’s lyrical\, gorgeous works approach both his own heritage and history as a Ho-Chunk Nation national and descendent of the Pechanga Band of Luiseño Indians\, as well as the reverberations of the the continuing injustices that confront indigenous peoples. Included in this screening are his award winning films Jaaji Approx. (2015) that addresses the filmmakers relationship with his father\, wawa (2014)\, an experimental documentary that features speakers of Chinuk Wawa\, a Native American language from the Pacific Northwest\, Visions of an Island (2016) which was recently selected to be part of the 2017 Whitney Biennial. The artist will also present a new in-progress work titled Dislocation Blues made during his travels to Standing Rock over the past year. Co-presented with PLASMA at The Department of Media Study\, SUNY at Buffalo. \nProgram:\nTotal length: ~78min \n \nVisions of an Island \n15min / 2016\nAn Unangam Tunuu elder describes cliffs and summits\, drifting birds\, and deserted shores. A group of students and teachers play and invent games revitalizing their language. A visitor wanders in a quixotic chronicling of earthly and supernal terrain. These visions offer glimpses of an island in the center of the Bering Sea. \nwawa \n6min / 2014\nFeaturing speakers of Chinuk Wawa\, a Native American language from the Pacific Northwest\, Wawa begins slowly\, patterning various forms of documentary and ethnography. Quickly\, the patterns tangle and become confused and commingled\, while translating and transmuting ideas of cultural identity\, language\, and history. \n \nJáaji Approx.\n7:36min / 2015\nLogging and approximating a relationship between audio recordings of my father and videos gathered of the landscapes we have both separately traversed. The initial distance between the logger and the recordings\, of recollections and of songs\, new and traditional\, narrows while the images become an expanding semblance of filial affect. Jáaji is a near translation for directly addressing a father in the Hočak language. \n \nAnti-Objects\, or Space Without Path or Boundary\n13:05 min / 2017\n“The individual is not an autonomous\, solitary object but a thing of uncertain extent\, with ambiguous boundaries. So too is matter\, which loses much of its allure the moment it is reduced to an object\, shorn of its viscosity\, pressure and density. Both subject and matter resist their reduction into objects. Everything is interconnected and intertwined.” —– Kengo Kuma\nThe title of this video\, taken from the texts of the architect Kengo Kuma\, suggests a way of looking at everything as “interconnected and intertwined”\, as are the historical and the present\, the tool and the artifact. Images and representations of two structures in the Portland Metropolitan Area that have direct and complicated connections to the Chinookan people who inhabit(ed) the land are woven with audio tapes of one of the last speakers of chinuk wawa\, the Chinookan creole\, chinuk wawa. These localities of matter resist their reduction into objects\, and call anew for space and time given to wandering as a deliberate act and the empowerment of shared utility.\nCommissioned by Design Week Portland\, for publication in February\, 2017. \n \nI’ll Remember You as You Were\, Not as What You’ll Become\n12:32 min / 2016\nAn elegy to Diane Burns on the shapes of mortality\, and being\, and the forms the transcendent spirit takes while descending upon landscapes of life and death. A place for new mythologies to syncopate with deterritorialized movement and song\, reifying old routes of reincarnation.

SUMMARY:Call for Submissions: Shape of a Pocket
DESCRIPTION:Deadline: April 8th\, 2017\, 11:59pm \nThe pocket in question is a small pocket of resistance. A pocket is formed when two or more people come together in agreement. The resistance is against the inhumanity of the new world economic order. – John Berger\, The Shape of a Pocket \nSqueaky Wheel is now accepting submissions to a juried\, thematic group exhibition inspired by the idea of “pockets of resistance.” Titled after John Berger’s book\, The Shape of a Pocket\, we invite artists in Western New York\, working in all forms of media arts (from video\, film\, sound\, emergent technologies\, performance\, and cross disciplinary platforms) to submit proposals engaging with the theme. How can the form of a work be a site of resistance? How can collaborative practices inform our ideas of activism in art? What does it mean for resistance to happen in an exhibition context? Work can address specific topics\, or embody these ideas in broader ways; artists are invited to interpret this theme according their specific concerns and practices. Shape of a Pocket will open in July 2017 and will be comprised of a gallery exhibition\, and a screening / performance section. \nEligibility:\nSubmissions are open to artists and collectives residing in the 17 counties of Western New York that comprise: Allegany\, Cattaraugus\, Chautauqua\, Chemung\, Erie\, Genesee\, Livingston\, Monroe\, Niagara\, Ontario\, Orleans\, Schuyler\, Seneca\, Steuben\, Wayne\, Wyoming\, and Yates.

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:Black Celebration + in complete world
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 22\, 2017\n 7pm\n @ Squeaky Wheel\n General $7 | Free for Squeaky Wheel Members \nNEW DATE: Please note that this screening has been postponed due to the weather; it will take place on Wednesday\, March 22nd. \nSqueaky Wheel is excited to present a pairing of films that variously aim to question common political assumptions and their reverberations\, with a pairing of Tony Cokes’ 1988 short film Black Celebration and Shelly Silver’s 2008 documentary in complete world. Special thanks to Shelly Silver and Electronic Arts Intermix. Guest curated by Squeaky Wheel’s Fall 2016 curatorial intern Bella Clemente.\n\n\nBlack Celebration\, Tony Cokes\, 1988\, 17 minutes\nin complete world\, Shelly Silver\, 2008\, 55 minutes\n\n\n\n\nTony Cokes’ Black Celebration pairs up newsreel footage of the 1960s race riots with textual commentary and music from the 1980s\, when the film was made. Depeche Mode lyrics are printed on the screen\, referencing the song that named the film.  Cokes intent for Black Celebration was to give a social critique of the 1960s\, questioning the reasons behind the urban riots\, and suggesting that they were partially due to a rebellion against capitalism. Instead of showing this footage with its corresponding newsreel audio\, music and text eliminate the portrayal of these riots as “criminal or irrational”.  The newsreels show the riots in Los Angeles\, Boston\, Newark\, and Detroit\, and display burning fires\, policemen and military tanks in a stark black-and-white contrast.  Cokes changes the viewer’s impression of the race riots by clashing violent visuals with pop sounds of the 80s.\n\n\n\n“Do you feel like you make enough money?”\n“Does global warming exist?”\nThese are some of the questions you will hear during Shelly Silver’s in complete world. Shot before the election of Barack Obama in 2008\, Shelly Silver found herself “angry and disillusioned with the US\, and more importantly\, NYC” and wanted to see and feel what others were experiencing at that time. The interviews carefully woven together in this piece were filmed in a heated time\, and the questions Silver asks to her subjects are ones she struggled to answer herself. Two very important features come out over the course of these interviews. The first is the spectrum of answers for each question\, and how well they match up with the appearance of the speakers. Is the person young? A woman? Well-dressed? What is the color of their skin?  How do these physical characteristics line up with assumed answers? Second\, Silver leaves each question open and remains silent and respective\, allowing her subjects to develop their perspectives past talking points. Silver’s questions in in complete world range from the philosophical to the political\, creating a broad survey of thoughts and beliefs that are messier than they might first appear.  – Bella Clemente\n\n*\n\n\nBella Clemente is a D.C./Rochester transplant living in Buffalo. She works for metal sculptor\, Albert Paley\, as a Studio Assistant. She was the Curatorial Intern for Squeaky Wheel in the Fall of 2016\, where she made many new art connections in Buffalo. She graduated from the University of Rochester in 2016 with a B.A. in Studio Arts and a B.S. in Brain & Cognitive Sciences. She enjoys making prints and volunteering at the Albright-Knox in her free time.

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.

Bring two dates (get three tickets) and get a discount!\n\n\n \n\n\nDon’t forget: a special afterparty will happen at Dreamland just down the street following our show\, featuring DJ Shit Wedding!\n\n\n \n\n\nWith work by Lisa Crafts\, Nazlı Dinçel\, Cheryl Dunye\, Renata Gasiorowska\, Kelly Gallagher\, Katiuska Herrand\, Vika Kirchenbauer\, Marlon Riggs\, along with a special interactive Super 8mm film performance by Tara Merenda Nelson.

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

SUMMARY:Sondra Perry: flesh out
DESCRIPTION:Sondra Perry. Wall 2 (2016). Video projection.\nOpening January 20\, 2017\, 6–9pm\n Public conversation with Sondra Perry at 7:30pm\n On View through May 6\, 2017 \nThe five works included in this exhibition of work by Sondra Perry are critical investigations into the way digital technology gives shape and encompasses representation. \nnetherrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr 2.0 (2017) is a video work that establishes a sonority that is articulated throughout the exhibit with an examination of the Windows operating system’s “Blue Screen of Death\,” the screen that appears when the Windows operating system is frozen in error. A similar shade of blue—a chroma-key paint used for industrial special effects work—covers the gallery except for one wall\, which is covered by a manipulated video projection of the artist’s skin titled Wall 2 (2017). The same image of Perry’s skin is also used as the backdrop for her digital avatar in Ashes for Three Monitor Workstation (2017)\, a video installation mounted on a manual treadmill. Finally\, our window space features Wet and Wavy Looks—Typhon coming on: Fields (2017)\, a video piece that features a digitally-manipulated image of Joseph Turner’s 1840 painting Slavers Throwing overboard the Dead and Dying—Typhon coming on in an ocean modifier\, an ocean simulation tool in the free and open -source 3D computer graphics software Blender. The manipulated presence of the artist’s skin\, voice\, and person throughout the exhibition map an interface in which representation and refusal are utilized and fleshed out. \nPerry will be present for the opening\, and will be joined by Squeaky Wheel Executive Director Maiko Tanaka for a public conversation. A newly commissioned essay by art and art history scholar and critic Soyoung Yoon accompanies the exhibition. You can read her essay on our tumblr\, here. \n \nSondra Perry. Ashes for Three Monitor Workstation (2017)\n \nSondra Perry. flesh out. Installation view.\n  \nAbout the Artist \nSondra Perry was born in Perth Amboy\, New Jersey\, in 1986.

SUMMARY:Nude on the Moon
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, January 18\, 2016\n7pm\n@ Squeaky Wheel\nGeneral $7 | Free for Squeaky Wheel Members\nWith introductory remarks via Skype by Peggy Ahwesh \n\n“[Doris Wishman’s] films offer the prerequisite weirdness of the genre but they have a seedy underlying resonance of the fear of and hostility toward women in our world which Doris describes in her own profound and tawdry way. From my perspective\, she maintains a unique combination of proto-feminism (although she would strongly disagree with this term) and pop cultural criticism in the design of the films which is a consistent and pure look at what it means to be female.” – Peggy Ahwesh\n\n\n \n\n\nThis 1961 nudie-cutie classic by “the Queen of Sexploitation” Doris Wishman (1912-2002)\, portrays a rich scientist who organizes an expedition to the moon\, and discovers that it’s full of nude women. We are excited to present this film as the final event in our sci-fi series OTHERWORLDS\, with introductory remarks via Skype by filmmaker Peggy Ahwesh\, a long-time Doris Wishman fan.\n\n\n \n\n\nLimited copies of a “The Films of Doris Wishman”\, a zine by Peggy Ahwesh\, will be on sale. \n\n\n \n\n\n“Boasting sensational titles like Nude on the Moon\, Bad Girls Go to Hell\, and Keyholes Are for Peeping\, New York City-born director Doris Wishman became the queen of sexploitation filmmaking during the 1960s and ‘70s — one of the only women creating movies in the softcore subgenre that played the grindhouse theaters in cities across America. A self-taught writer and director\, Wishman became famous for her nudist camp romps and melodramatic B-film aesthetic… Unconventional editing choices\, including cutaways to paintings and ashtrays\, overdubbed dialogue\, gratuitous violence and nudity\, and the exploitation of innocent women aplenty\, a Doris Wishman film is titillating\, odd\, and endearing at the same time. Her films exist on their own terms.” – Alison Natasi\, Flavorwire\n\n\n \n\n\nPeggy Ahwesh was born in 1954. She received her B.F.A. from Antioch College. Her work has been widely shown\, at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, New York; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts\, San Francisco; the Balie Theater\, Amsterdam; the Filmmuseum\, Frankfurt; the Rotterdam International Film Festival\, Rotterdam; Museu d’Art Contemporani Barcelona (MACBA)\, Barcelona; the Wexner Center for the Arts\, Columbus\, Ohio; the Whitney Museum of American Art\, New York; and The Museum of Modern Art\, New York\, among other venues. Her numerous awards include an Alpert Award in the Arts\, a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship\, and grants from the Jerome Foundation\, Creative Capital\, and the New York State Council on the Arts. She teaches at Bard College\, Annandale-on-Hudson\, New York.\n \n\nAbout The Series \nFrom cybernetic futures to voyages across space and time\, our Fall/Winter screening series OTHERWORLDS focuses on alternative science fiction\, including experimental films\, rare documentaries\, and cult classics.
