SUMMARY:Punctures | Eniola Dawodu and Kite
DESCRIPTION:Opening\, November 22\, 2019\, 6–9pm\nArtist Talk and Q&A with Eniola Dawodu and Amy Sall at 7:30pm\nOn view through December 22\, 2019\nFree and open to the public \nThe second exhibition of Punctures features two works placed in conversation: Kite’s multi-media installation and performance Everything I Say Is True (2017)\, which considers concepts of truth in relation to Oglala Lakota knowledge systems. Eniola Dawodu’s IRAN SI IRAN (2019)\, funded by the Creative Arts Initiative\, is a newly commissioned textile work which reassembles a fragmented chorus of ancestral African women’s strategic radical overtures toward autonomy and cultural sovereignty. \nJoin us for the opening of the exhibition on November 22nd with artist Eniola Dawodu in conversation with Amy Sall (Founder and Editor-in-Chief\, SUNU: Journal of African Affairs\, Critical Thought + Aesthetics). Artist Kite will be present for a performance of Everything I Say Is True on Saturday\, December 7\, with a conversation between her and Dr. Jolene Rickard. \n \nImage: Eniola Dawodu\, Iran Si Iran (2019). Image by Kaitlyn Lowe. \nEniola Dawodu is a British-born Nigerian based between Dakar\, Senegal and Brooklyn\, NY. She is engaged in the cultural archiving of memories\, methods\, and magic concerning West African textiles and aesthetics of style + self-presentation. Her research and creative practice privilege traditional dress practice\, its motif and methodology\, as potent conduits for cross-generational communication\, situated in the liminal and powerfully charged with legacy and history. With reverence to foremothers\, Dawodu reimagines garments of power as masques within which space is held for the latent narratives of ancestral African experiences. In alliance with master artisans via ancient techniques\, past and present-day collapse into cross-dimensional expression. Woven memoirs unite; a foundation upon which truths are embroidered. \nKite aka Suzanne Kite is an Oglala Lakota performance artist\, visual artist\, and composer raised in Southern California\, with a BFA from CalArts in music composition\, an MFA from Bard College’s Milton Avery Graduate School\, and is a PhD student at Concordia University and Research Assistant for the Initiative for Indigenous Futures. Her research is concerned with contemporary Lakota epistemologies through research-creation\, computational media\, and performance practice. Recently\, Kite has been developing a body interface for movement performances\, carbon fiber sculptures\, immersive video & sound installations\, as well as co-running the experimental electronic imprint\, Unheard Records. \nA graduate from Columbia University’s Graduate School of Arts & Sciences\, Amy Sall holds a master’s degree in Human Rights Studies\, concentrating on the right to development and youth empowerment in Sub-Saharan Africa. She received her BA in 2012 from The New School University in Culture and Media Studies\, with a concentration in Cultural Studies and a minor in Journalism.  Sall is Founder and Editor-in-Chief of SUNU: Journal of African Affairs\, Critical Thought + Aesthetics (SUNU Journal)\, a forthcoming publication seeking to amplify emerging voices and perspectives on matters and ideas concerning Africa and the Diaspora. From 2016 to 2017\, she was a Part-time Lecturer in the Culture and Media Studies department of The New School University’s Eugene Lang College\, where she developed and taught two courses: Third Cinema & The Counter Narratives\, and The African Gaze: Postcolonial Visual Culture of Africa & The Social Imagination. She is a 2016 Independent Curators International (ICI) + RAW Material Company Fellow.\nWith a keen interest in cultural studies\, African affairs and artistic expression\, Amy Sall is interested in the ways in which visual culture\, literature\, postcolonial and critical theory inform\, shape and encourage contemporary discourses surrounding the socioeconomic\, political and cultural. She consults for entities engaged in projects\, programming\, exhibitions\, and/or research relating to contemporary African and Afro-diasporic visual culture (specifically photography and cinema). Her consulting also extends to projects and research centered on African/Afro-diasporic theory\, literature and social science. Amy Sall is also a collector of vintage vernacular photography and printed matter coming from Africa and the diaspora (ca. 1950s – 1970s). These Pan-African artifacts are housed in her small\, but growing private collection\, The Sall Collection.

SUMMARY:Punctures | Wang Bing’s Bitter Money
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, September 25\, 2019\, 7pm\n$7 General\, $5 Members\, free for ArtsAccess pass holders \nWang Bing’s celebrated Bitter Money (2016) follows a handful of workers in the city of Huzhou\, home to 18\,000 clothing factories. Capturing them both at work—where they may labor for more than 12 hours a day—and in their off-hours\, this demanding\, rewarding film incisively captures the conditions of the contemporary textile industry. \nWang Bing\, Bitter Money\, 152 minutes\, digital video\, 2016 \nBing has an unreal talent for finding precisely the right way to frame candid moments. —Hyperallergic \nWang’s camera captures the relentless hopelessness of the Chinese low-income working class\, not for us to gawk at\, but for us to experience\, to become a part of it\, and to maybe also understand it.—Frameland\n\nThis screening is part of Punctures: Textiles in Digital and Material Time. Consisting of three exhibitions and public programs that weave into each other\, Punctures features artists who are invested in the intersections and history of textile practices\, media art\, and critical and liberatory politics\, including trans fashion and domesticity; gendered and immigrant labor under global racial capitalism; Gelede women’s commemoration\, protest and power as represented in textile work; speculative future-casting through Oglala Lakota knowledge systems\, and more. The exhibition features installations by Betty Yu\, Cecilia Vicuña\, Charlie Best\, Eniola Dawodu\, Kite\, and Sabrina Gschwandtner\, performances by Charlie Best\, Jodi Lynn Maracle\, and Kite\, and screenings of work by Jodie Mack\, Pat Ferrero\, Sabrina Gschwandtner\, and Wang Bing.

SUMMARY:Punctures: Textiles in Digital and Material Time
DESCRIPTION:September 20\, 2019–February 7\, 2020 \nSqueaky Wheel is pleased to announce Punctures: Textiles in Digital and Material Time. Drawing from the little-known but expansive history connecting media arts and textile production\, the exhibition features artists invested in the material\, critical and liberatory politics of their intersections. \nFrom the Lumière brothers taking the intermittent motion of a sewing machine to create the cinematograph\, to the punch cards of the Jacquard loom forming the basis of modern computation\, and the role of sewing and gendered labor in jobs like editing and dyeing in film production\, textile production remains an essential\, but insufficiently unacknowledged formal and social influence on media arts. These underpinnings aim to not only explicate an alternate history\, but are meant to find ways to speculate new futures for media practice. \nConsisting of three exhibitions and public programs that weave into each other\, audiences will engage with artworks exploring a wide range of practices including\, trans fashion and domesticity; gendered and immigrant labor under global racial capitalism; Gelede women’s commemoration\, protest and power as represented in textile work; speculative future-casting through Oglala Lakota knowledge systems\, and more. \nThe exhibition features installations by Betty Yu\, Cecilia Vicuña\, Charlie Best\, Eniola Dawodu\, Kite\, and Sabrina Gschwandtner\, performances by Charlie Best\, Jodi Lynn Maracle\, and Kite\, screenings of work by Jodie Mack\, Sabrina Gschwandtner\, and Wang Bing\, and guest speakers such as Jasmina Tumbas and Jolene Rickard. \n Additional Punctures events in 2020 to be announced.

Picking and choosing between fiber and textiles\, video\, collage\, performance\, and sculpture\, Charlie’s work interrupts transmissions of the gender binary\, lack of imagination\, capitalism\, and other ills lurking in common cultural forms. Richard Scarry illustrations\, men’s shirts\, catholic mass\, and network television are just some of what awaits the cut of the scissors. Charlie is committed to the joys\, lessons\, fears\, and aesthetics of nonbinary imagination practices. They received a bfa in sculpture and expanded media from alfred university’s school of art and design (2018)\, and were the recipient of a fellowship to the cite internationale des arts\, paris\, france. They have exhibited locally and nationally\, most recently at sugar city (buffalo\, ny) with “something from the basement”. The current interests of their practice include the application of anarchist tactics/thoughts/dreams and children’s stories to garment and accessory design\, and the history of VHS. Charlie and collaborator Jaz Palermo are in pre production for their first film\, titled st. tilapia’s school for gayward girls\, which they both hope gets banned somewhere. \nCecilia Vicuña is a poet\, artist\, filmmaker and activist. Her work addresses pressing concerns of the modern world\, including ecological destruction\, human rights\, and cultural homogenization. Born and raised in Santiago de Chile\, she has been in exile since the early 1970s\, after the military coup against elected president Salvador Allende. Vicuña began creating “precarious works” and quipus in the mid 1960s in Chile\, as a way of “hearing an ancient silence waiting to be heard.” Her multi-dimensional works begin as a poem\, an image that morphs into a film\, a song\, a sculpture\, or a collective performance. These ephemeral\, site-specific installations in nature\, streets\, and museums combine ritual and assemblage. She calls this impermanent\, participatory work “lo precario” (the precarious): transformative acts that bridge the gap between art and life\, the ancestral and the avant-garde. Her paintings of early 1970s de-colonized the art of the conquerors and the “saints” inherited from the Catholic Church\, to create irreverent images of the heroes of the revolution. A partial list of museums that have exhibited her work include: The Museu de Arte Moderna do Rio de Janeiro\, Brazil; The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Santiago; The Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) London; Art in General in NYC; The Whitechapel Art Gallery in London; The Berkeley Art Museum; The Whitney Museum of American Art; and MoMA\, The Museum of Modern Art in New York. \nThis exhibition is part of Punctures: Textiles in Digital and Material Time. Consisting of three exhibitions and public programs that weave into each other\, Punctures features artists who are invested in the intersections and history of textile practices\, media art\, and critical and liberatory politics\, including trans fashion and domesticity; gendered and immigrant labor under global racial capitalism; Gelede women’s commemoration\, protest and power as represented in textile work; speculative future-casting through Oglala Lakota knowledge systems\, and more. The exhibition features installations by Betty Yu\, Cecilia Vicuña\, Charlie Best\, Eniola Dawodu\, Kite\, and Sabrina Gschwandtner\, performances by Charlie Best\, Jodi Lynn Maracle\, and Kite\, and screenings of work by Jodie Mack\, Pat Ferrero\, Sabrina Gschwandtner\, and Wang Bing. Punctures design by Kelly Walters. \nImage: Charlie Best\, We Interrupt This Program (2019). Special thank you to Lehmann Maupin Gallery and Seneca Lake Wine Trail.

SUMMARY:Squeaky Wheel’s 16th Animation Fest!
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 6\, 7:30pm\n@ Albright Knox Art Gallery\nFree as part of M&T First Fridays \nShowcasing animated shorts\, including 3D animations\, crayon kaleidoscopes\, and more this 16th edition of our annual Animation Fest is curated by Leanne Goldblatt\, and features films by Amanda Bonaiuto\, Cassie Shao\, Evan Tapper and Scott Sørli\, Hallie Bahn\, Kristjan Holm\, Krystal Downs and Alex Krokus\, LIZN’BOW\, Lori Malépart-Traversy\, Tammy Renée Brackett\, and Vanja Andrijevic. \nProgram ~47min \nOrbit \nTess Martin\n7 min digital file\, 2019\nThe Sun’s energy circulates through the Earth\, feeding the cycle of life. Everything is connected in a natural loop\, which repeats\, like the circular discs of magical optical toys. This perfectly balanced rhythm is disrupted by human excess\, throwing the cycle out of orbit and temporarily stopping the circulation of energy in nature. The natural cycle can and will continue\, only without the human race in the mix. Submitted by Vanja Andrijevic. \nThe Clitoris\nLori Malépart-Traversy\n3 min\, digital file\, 2016\, subtitled\nWomen are lucky\, they get to have the only organ in the human body dedicated exclusively for pleasure: the clitoris! In this humorous and instructive animated documentary\, find out its unrecognized anatomy and its unknown herstory. \nHEDGE \nAmanda Bonaiuto \n6 min\, digital file\, 2018\nA singularly comical/surreal vision of a family visiting a funeral home. \nnée Rabbit \nHallie Bahn \n3 min\, digital file\, 2018\nnée Rabbit confronts the mind’s struggle to maintain a true identity even as our memory begins to fade. Can we continue to know ourselves when we have no recollection of our past actions and reactions? Do we adapt our identity to incorporate this loss into our life’s story? Or do we resign ourselves to wake up each day anew and if so\, who are we? \nYour Black Friend \nKrystal Downs and Alex Krokus \n3 min\, digital file\, 2018\nBen Passmore‘s necessary contribution to the dialogue around race in the United States\, Your Black Friend is a letter from your black friend to you about race\, racism\, friendship and alienation. \nAll Your Photos \nTammy Renée Brackett \n2 min\, digital file\, 2019 \nA photo booth that promises to deliver ALL your photos for a quarter. \nThere Were Four of Us \nCassie Shao \n7 min\, digital file\, 2019\, subtitled\nIn a room\, there are four people. \nLife24 \nKristjan Holm \n9 min\, digital file\, 2019 \nConfirmed bachelor Einar Jernskjegg wins the lottery. \nGay Alien Shame Parade (GASP!)\nEvan Tapper and Scott Sørli\n5 min\, digital video\, 2018\, subtitled\nGay Alien Shame Parade (GASP!) was created for Nuit Rose\, Pride Toronto\, 2017. The previous year\, Black Lives Matter – Toronto intervened in the Toronto Pride parade\, resulting in significant changes to Pride 2017. Among the most controversial of BLM-Toronto’s demands was the removal of police floats in Pride marches and parades. The artists were disturbed by the negative response to this demand from gay cis white men that the artists encountered on social media and in person. These men had no memory\, nor understanding\, of the long history of police violence against the LGBT+ communities\, and especially against People of Colour\, a history that continues today. In solidarity with BLM-Toronto\, the artists animated a satirical Shame Parade in another world\, composed entirely of floats that document police violence against the LGBT+ communities in the greater Toronto area from the 1940s to the present day. \nFlowerbombs \nLIZN’BOW \n2 min\, digital file\, 2016\nFlowerbombs is an infomercial made during a 6 week new media feminist workshop series in partnership with Breakthrough Miami outreach program. \nBios of the artists and curator \nAmanda Bonaiuto (b. 1990) is an animator and artist originally from Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:1988
DESCRIPTION:Premiere Film Screening 1988\nAugust 20th\, 6–8 PM\n@ Burchfield Penney Art Center \nArtist Talk following the film\nFree and open to the public \n  \nJoin us at the Burchfield Penney Art Center for the premiere of the Buffalo Youth Media Institute film 1988!\n1988 is a speculative documentary revolving around the subject of climate change. The film takes place in a dystopian alternate reality 2019 where everyone is immersed in a stream of television programming. All communications and media channels are controlled by the Obsolete Corporation\, which also produces most of the consumer products for the world. The Corporation’s signal is jammed by the Activist International\, a group of young activists fighting back against this accepted reality by calling out for change. The title of the film is taken from the year when a group of climate scientists spoke to Congress and warned of the impending climate crisis. Through a series of satirical skits and sobering interviews\, 1988 delves deeply into the complicated and urgent topic of global warming. \nThis film is made possible with support from Erie County and the Marks Family Foundation. This project is also funded by the Global Warming Art Project Grant (from Ben Perrone and the “Environment Maze” project donors); administered by Arts Services Initiative of WNY. \nBuffalo Youth Media Institute is a collaboration between Squeaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center and Buffalo Center for Arts & Technology and is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts and Children’s Foundation of Erie County\, with exhibition and venue support from Burchfield Penney Art Center. \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \n  \nMade in collaboration with:

SUMMARY:Meet our Residents: Dana McKnight\, Dessane Lopez Cassell\, Jodi Lynn Maracle
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, August 9th\, 7pm\nFree and open to the public \nJoin Squeaky Wheel for a chance to meet our Summer 2019 Workspace Residents and learn more about their past and ongoing projects in this evening of artist talks\, covering artistic and curatorial approaches to labor & representation as they relate to people of color\, anchored in the geography of the Dominican Republic; speculative black markets and underground communities in our cities east side; and investigations into past and present relationships of Haudenosaunee peoples to the land on which we’ve settled. A brief presentation before the artist talk will update you on how you can take part in the Workspace Residency. \nDana T McKnight is a black\, queer\, multimedia artist currently residing in Austin\, TX. Blending formal studies in Cultural Anthropology (Long Island University\, 2005) and Sculpture (Minerva Kunst Akademie\, Groningen NL) her work lies in a plethora of medium splicing: speculative fiction\, sculpture\, installation\, experimental sound and video\, performance art\, poetry and painting. At the core of Dana McKnight’s work lies a surrealist edge—the real world slowly picked apart through a lens tinted by magical realism and lived experience. Dana McKnight is a founder of Dreamland Art Gallery\, an artist-run contemporary arts and performance space in Buffalo\, NY\, and a Co-Creator for RIQSE (Radical Inclusive Queer Sex Education). In 2016\, she was selected as a Living Legacy Artist by the Burchfield Penney Art Center. She is hood-raised\, but spent several years living in London\, Kyoto\, and Groningen (NL) and travels extensively. \nDessane Lopez Cassell is a curator\, writer\, and film programmer based in New York. She has held curatorial positions at the Studio Museum in Harlem\, The Museum of Modern Art\, and the Allen Memorial Art Museum. A former US Fulbright fellow\, Cassell has organized curatorial projects and screenings for Flaherty NYC\, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM)\, MoMA Film\, and the Allen. Her writing has been published and is forthcoming in catalogs issued by the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Studio Museum\, MoMA\, and Experiments in Cinema. Cassell has produced podcast and radio projects for Bay FM and Creative X (both South Africa)\, and Roskilde Festival (Denmark)\, and she is a 2019 Advisory Committee member at UnionDocs\, in Brooklyn. Her research interests include experimental film\, contemporary practices that draw upon the archival\, and investigations of race\, gender\, and representation. \nBorn and raised in what is currently considered Buffalo\, NY\, Jodi Lynn Maracle is a Kanien’keha:ka mother\, artist\, teacher and language learner. Jodi utilizes Haudenosaunee material language and techniques\, such as hand tanning deer hides\, and corn husk twining\, in conversation with sound scapes\, projections\, video\, and performance to interrogate questions of place\, power\, erasure\, story making\, and responsibility to the land. She has shown her work throughout Dish With One Spoon Territory in site specific installation performances such as the Mush Hole Project at the defunct Mohawk Institute Residential School (home of the Woodland Cultural Centre) in Brantford\, ON\, as well as the Gardiner Museum in Toronto\, ON\, Artpark in Lewiston\, NY\, and Squeaky Wheel Film and Media Art Center\, in Buffalo\, NY.
