SUMMARY:Workspace Presentations: Elizabeth Tannie Lewin and Dana Tyrrell
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free public talk by our two Workspace residents! Artist resident Elizabeth Tannie Lewin (Brooklyn\, NY) and researcher resident Dana Tyrrell (Buffalo\, NY) will be giving presentations on their ongoing projects at the tail-end of their two week residency with Squeaky Wheel. \nElizabeth Tannie Lewin is a digital media artist interested in: technology\, landscape\, identity\, disappearance\, history\, and utopia. Lewin uses various technologies to achieve special effects such as: 3D modeling landscapes\, hacking a computer mouse to scan images\, and webcameras programmed to initiate\, or pause\, video playback. Lewin received her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2009) and her MFA from Hunter College (2016).\nProject Proposal\nMy current work is focused on the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI)\, its nuclear history (the RMI\, was once known as the Pacific Proving Grounds\, and the location of 67 United States nuclear tests). The Castle Bravo nuclear test was conducted on Bikini\, Atoll on March 1\, 1954 and was the most powerful nuclear device ever detonated by the United States. To this day\, Bikini remains uninhabitable due to radiation. Hundreds of Bikinians remain displaced. Additionally\, the RMI is faces increasing fragility due to climate change (the RMI is on average\, 2 meters above sea level\, scientists predict that the sea levels will rise between 0.8-2 meters by the end of the century).\nMy time at Workspace will be devoted to producing creating a 3D virtual “game” landscape of the RMI\, recording video audio\, and editing scanned military photos which that will be incorporated into a developing video (working title: Nuclear Set). \nDana Tyrrell is an artist\, curator and writer living and working in Buffalo\, New York. He holds an MFA in Visual Studies from the University at Buffalo (2015)\, a BA in Drawing & Painting and a BA in Art History\, both from the State University of New York at Fredonia (2012). His work has been shown widely throughout Western New York\, including solo exhibits with the Castellani Art Museum (2017) and Dreamland Art Gallery (2015). His curatorial practice includes exhibits at Anna Kaplan Contemporary (formerly BT&C Gallery)\, the Benjaman Gallery\, Dreamland Art Gallery\, and Sugar City Art Gallery. Photograph courtesy of Julian Montague.\nProject Proposal\nMy intent for this Workspace Residency would be to research\, and eventually curate a show focused upon emergent technologies. My interest lies at the intersection of technology and performance art -vis-a-vis academics like José Esteban Muñoz and Kara Keeling\, as well as performance artists such as Zach Blas\, Micha Cárdenas and Hito Steyerl – wherein the point of the juncture between emergent technologies and performance art becomes the human body\, in all of its mutability\, foibles and inconsistencies. I am interested in the interplay between the technological self and the realized\, physical self and how those two things\, while not always mutually exclusive\, bend and blur under the ever-present and growing weight of technology.\nThe understanding of these artists and their further articulation within the context of a yet-to be-realized exhibit would be thus predicated upon Keeling’s own description of what is known as a “Queer OS” (Cinema Journal\, 2014); a speculative project which sees the formulation of queer function as an operating system\, which straddles both technical and cultural understandings. At its core\, a Queer OS offers up a space in which LGBTQ+\, Women\, Black and Latinx people can meet – both online and off – connect to one another\, and reaffirm alternative modes of technological disbursement and exploration as we delve further into the twenty-first century. \nAbout the program \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. \nWe encourage people of color\, women\, queer\, trans and gender non-conforming people to apply. The residency welcomes applications from both emerging and established artists and researchers. A list of previous residents can be found here.

SUMMARY:Art Talk: Neither Living Nor Dead: Documentary photography in the 1970's and 80's with Dana Tyrrell
DESCRIPTION:Join us and our Workspace Resident Researcher\, Dana Tyrrell as we explore documentary photography centered in and around New York City in the 1970’s and 80’s\, with special focus given to the work of Peter Hujar and David Wojnarowicz. We will look at these artists photographic works as a product of both their impoverished lifestyles and as a reaction to it. The work itself acts as a foil which prefigures and reacts in real time to the HIV/AIDS epidemic during that period of time. We will also touch upon the work  of Buffalo documentary photographer Milton Rogovin\, and the differences between straight documentary photography\, and documentary photography cum art object. \nDana Tyrrell is an artist\, curator and writer living and working in Buffalo\, New York. He holds an MFA in Visual Studies from the University at Buffalo (2015)\, a BA in Drawing & Painting and a BA in Art History\, both from the State University of New York at Fredonia (2012). His work has been shown widely throughout Western New York\, including solo exhibits with the Castellani Art Museum (2017) and Dreamland Art Gallery (2015). His curatorial practice includes exhibits at Anna Kaplan Contemporary (formerly BT&C Gallery)\, the Benjamin Gallery\, Dreamland Art Gallery\, and Sugar City Art Gallery. \n\nWorkspace Residency is supported by generous support by the County of Erie and County Executive Mark Poloncarz\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts\, individual members\, businesses\, and supporters

SUMMARY:Skill Share - Live Coding with SuperCollider
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, March 10th \n2pm-5pm \n \nJoin us for this Skill Share with Pittsburgh based musician Matt Wellins. Wellins will introduce participants to the open source and free software SuperCollider. \nSuperCollider is an object-oriented programming language designed for real-time audio applications\, such as algorithmic composition\, live performance\, and acoustic research. As it enters its 22nd year in existence\, SuperCollider uniquely thrives in its strong\, supportive internet community and the deep reserve of user-designed resources. Its built-in library gives users instant access to probabilistic forms of organization\, unique oscillators and filters\, and machine listening. \nIn this workshop\, we will discuss and illustrate several examples of “live coding” – a way of engaging with software in a performative way or as a useful tool for sound-making at home. Students will leave with a comprehensive introduction to the environment\, able to begin tackling their own projects\, circumventing SuperCollider’s somewhat challenging learning curve. \nNo prior knowledge of code is necessary\, though some experience with electronic music is suggested. \nSeats are limited register today!\n  \nCheck out these other events Matt Wellins will be doing during his visit here in Buffalo:\nTalk: Objects and Electronics\nThursday\, March 8\, 2018\nTime: 12:15-1:15pm\nCiminelli Concert Hall – Rockwell Hall\, 3rd Floor\n[ Buffalo State College\, Music Department\, 1300 Elmwood Ave\, Buffalo NY 14222 ]\nFree admission \nLive Performance: Matt Wellins @ The Cass Project\nSaturday\, March 10\, 2018\nTime: 7-9pm\nThe Cass Project\, in the Boiler Room\, Myrtle & Hamburg\n[500 Seneca St\, Buffalo\, NY 14204]\nAdmission: $10-20 Sliding Scale \n  \nMore information can be found at http://thecassproject.org/events/ \n \nThis workshop is offered in collaboration with The Cass Project \n For information contact kevin@squeaky.org.

SUMMARY:Shu Lea Cheang presents: I.K.U. This is not LOVE. This is SEX.
DESCRIPTION:Envisioned as a sequel to Blade Runner\, the “japanese sci-fi porn film” I.K.U. (74min\, 2001) scandalized audiences when it premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. Following the adventures of seven sexy replicants as they attempt to gather data for the I.K.U. system (which enables touchless orgasms)\, I.K.U. is a cyberpunk fuck film for the internet generation\, made by visionary multi-media artist Shu Lea Cheang. The artist will be in person to deliver an introduction to her film. \n“I.K.U. is a phenomenon that wants to refuse definition and… crosses all categories – geographic\, physical\, conceptual – with a demented flourish. As much trans-genre as it is trans-gender\, I.K.U. also wants to merge video and film into a fresh digital universe large-scale enough to overwhelm the viewer.” – B. Ruby Rich\, Rhizome\n \nThis screening is part of a three event series presented by the PLASMA series at the Department of Media Study\, SUNY Buffalo and Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center. Don’t miss the Shu Lea Cheang’s screening of FLUIDØ on Saturday\, March 10 at Hallwalls\, and her artist talk at the Department of Media Study on Monday\, March 12! \nPreview \nBio of the artist\nAs an artist and filmmaker\, Shu Lea Cheang has worked with various art mediums and film formats\, including installation\, performance\, net art\, public art\, video installation\, feature length film and mobile web serial. As a net art pioneer\, her BRANDON (1998-1999) was the first web art commissioned and collected by the Guggenheim museum New York. She has been crafting her own film genre of new queer cinema\, calling them eco-cybenoia (FRESH KILL\, 1994)\, scifi cyberpunk (I.K.U.\, 2000)\, scifi cyphepunk (Fluidø\, 2017). From homesteading cyberspace in the 90s to her current retreat to BioNet\, Cheang takes on viral love\, bio hack in her current cycle of works. She is currently developing UKI-cinema interrupted with mobile game intervention; Unborn0x9\, a hacking performance with open source ultrasound stethoscope and Mycelium Network Society\, an organic living network initiative.

SUMMARY:Art + Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon!
DESCRIPTION:Free and open to the public\nRSVP here \nSqueaky Wheel will host an Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon to take place 2-7pm on Saturday\, March 3\, 2018 at 617 Main St\, Buffalo\, NY. This all-day event is designed to improve coverage of women\, gender\, feminism\, and the arts on Wikipedia. \nWhy we edit? Less than 10% of editors on Wikipedia are women. Wikipedia is the largest and most popular general reference work on the internet with more than 40 million articles in more than 250 different languages. The fact is when we don’t tell our stories or participate in the ways our history is preserved\, it gets erased. Let’s build our local contribution to the movement! \nWe provide tutorials for the beginner Wikipedian\, ongoing editing support\, reference materials\, childcare\, and refreshments. People of all gender identities and expressions are invited to participate\, particularly transgender and cisgender women. \nSqueaky Wheel invites back Toronto artist and Wikipedian extraordinaire Zeesy Powers to facilitate tutorials and discussions. New this year is a collaboration with the Albright Knox Art Gallery\, who will provide reference materials on the artists featured in their exhibition We Wanted a Revolution: Black Radical Women\, 1965–85 (on view from February 16–May 27). \nIf you require childcare\, please email caitcoder@gmail.com with the first names of children requiring care\, their ages\, and what time you plan on attending. \nPlease create a Wikipedia account before the event\, click here to learn how! And remember during the event to hashtag and post online so everyone around the world can see what you’re working on: #artandfeminism #noweditingaf @squeakybuffalo . \nThis event is co-presented with Peach Mag\, with partnership support from Buffalo State College’s Women & Gender Studies Interdisciplinary Minor\, UB Department of Art\, and UB Department of Media Study. Thank you to our sponsors at the Western New York Book Arts Center & Tipico Coffee. \nAbout the instructor\nZeesy Powers is an interdisciplinary artist. She teaches programs for digital illustration\, animation and video through community groups in Toronto\, and facilitates workshops on contributing to Wikipedia as part of the Art+Feminism edit-a-thons. During her 2017 National Artist-in-Residence at the Toronto Animated Image Society\, she produced This Could be You\, an interactive piece exploring practices of confinement in VR. She has performed and exhibited internationally\, and has been artist-in-residence at CCA Kitakyushu (Japan)\, Palomar5 (Berlin)\, the Banff New Media Institute\, and Studio XX (Montreal). In Toronto\, Powers has worked on several community-based project with children and youth in partnership with organizations like UrbanArts\, Axis Music and the Toronto Public Library. Currently\, she is working on a Canada Council and Chalmers Fellowship funded project on how consumer surveillance impacts how we relate to ourselves and others. She lives in Toronto.

SUMMARY:belit sağ : Let Me Remember
DESCRIPTION:Download the brochure with new essays by Almudena Escobar López and Chi-hui Yang \nSqueaky Wheel Film & Media Art Center presents Let Me Remember\, the first solo exhibition of artist and videoactivist belit sağ (Netherlands/Turkey) in North America. Comprised of five new video installations\, Let Me Remember functions as an investigation into the state of being racialized in Europe\, taking a series of brutal murders by the German National Socialist Underground (NSU) as its context. The NSU was a terror group that killed ten people and planted bombs in migrant neighborhoods between 2000–2008. German media reports at the time ignored the racial motivations of their violence.\n \nbelit sağ’s work explores how media imagery can render the visibility (and invisibility) of personhood in a personal and essayistic form. The works in Let Me Remember bring together archival footage of the NSU’s victims\, images of objects from the crime scenes\, and transcripts of the trials made by local activist groups to ask questions on how white supremacy and whiteness in a European context affect and change narratives. Squeaky Wheel is proud to present the first North American exhibition of this emerging artist\, and bring to the public the acuity with which sağ questions the role of media. \nJoin us on Friday January 19th for the opening reception of the exhibition at Squeaky Wheel at 7pm and don’t miss a public conversation between the artist and Jasmina Tumbas at 7:30pm. Two newly commissioned essays on the belit sağ’s work by Almudena Escobar López and Chi-hui Yang also accompany the exhibition. Squeaky Wheel members are invited to a special VIP between 6–7pm with complimentary wine and refreshments. \nLet Me Remember is presented in collaboration with The Flaherty as part of the Flaherty NYC program COMMON VISIONS\, programmed by Almudena Escobar López & Herb Shellenberger. \n  \n \nbelit sağ. overexposed\, HD video (2017)\n  \n \nbelit sağ. overexposed\, installation view (2017)\n  \nAbout the Artists and Contributors \nbelit sağ is a videomaker and visual artist living in Amsterdam.

SUMMARY:Sleeping Sickness
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, December 6th\, 2017\nUlrich Köhler’s Sleeping Sickness (2011)\n7pm\n$7 General | $5 Squeaky Wheel Members \nA Silver Bear winning Berlin School post-script to our series on Christian Petzold. Ebbo and Vera have lived in Africa a long time because of Ebbo’s job\, but Vera wants to return to Europe to be close to her daughter\, who is studying at a boarding school. \n“This remarkably assured third feature by the young German director Ulrich Köhler—winner of Best Director at this year’s Berlin Film Festival—transports us to Cameroon\, where German doctor Ebbo (Pierre Bokma) and his wife have spent two decades combating an epidemic of sleeping sickness in the local villages. Soon\, they will return to Europe and to lives long ago put on hold\, and this has created a crisis for Ebbo\, who\, like Joseph Conrad’s Kurtz\, has spent too much time up river to ever come back down. Meanwhile\, a young black doctor—a Frenchman born to Congolese parents—travels to Africa to evaluate the efficiency of Ebbo’s program. But when he arrives\, nothing goes according to plan\, and despite his heritage\, he feels very much a stranger in a strange land. Finally\, the two subjects of this haunting meditation on Africa’s past and future dovetail—effortlessly\, seamlessly—and the cumulative impact is stunning.” – Film Society of Lincoln Center

SUMMARY:Chantal Akerman's One Day Pina Asked...
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 29\, 2017\n7pm\n$7 General | $5 Squeaky Wheel members \nAn encounter between two of the most remarkable women artists of the 20th century\, One Day Pina Asked…(1983) is Chantal Akerman’s look at the work of choreographer Pina Bausch and her Wuppertal\, Germany-based dance company. \nIn the film\, the Belgian film director gives us an opportunity to consider Bausch’s architectural stage and complex emotional practice. Bausch’s work (as expressed in Akerman’s film) expresses a movement that encompasses both gendered violence and expressions of love\, with a kindness generated by pacing. One Day Pina Asked… gives us careful\, sharply aimed shots of stage movements\, backstage practice sequences\, and an iconic eye-to-eye closing sequence with Bausch herself. We’re invited to do more than watch a film transcription of a dance event; instead\, Akerman’s work challenges us by suggesting the interstices of the physical and the emotional\, the structured and incidental\, and the space before the curtain rises. \nCurated\, and featuring an introduction by Squeaky Wheel Curatorial Intern Colleen Stapleton. \n“Both [Bausch and Akerman] create reflective\, large-scale visual compositions that convey a powerful but ambiguous emotional intensity.” —Stephen Holden\, The New York Times

These films—Forged Ways (2011)\, American Hunger (2013)\, Many Thousands Gone (2015)\, Kindah (2016)\, and Fluid Frontiers (2017)—document not only his travels across Brazil\, Canada\, Ethiopia\, Ghana\, Jamaica\, and the United States\, but also a personal search for the connections of cultures across space and time. American Hunger\, for example\, features images of a vandalized statue of Ghana’s first prime minister Kwame Nkrumah accompanied by recordings of his speeches in which he declares his hope for Ghana’s future. Asili cuts from this lost vision of accomplishment and idealism to a shot of a woman on the street in Ghana holding a mass-produced bag bearing Barack Obama’s face\, bringing together the legacy of US imperialism and the complicated feelings that accompanied the first black president of the United States. With its observational 16mm cinematography and its precise use of sound and music\, Asili’s work is critical and speculative\, listening intently to the resonances of words and gestures that span centuries and oceans.” Ekrem Serdar\, Brooklyn Rail. \nProgram \nForged Ways\n2011 | 15min | Ethiopia / United States\nFilmed on location in Harlem (NY) and Ethiopia\, Forged Ways oscillates between the first person account of a filmmaker\, a man navigating the streets of Harlem\, and the day to day life in the cities and villages of Ethiopia. \nAmerican Hunger\n2013 | 19min | Ghana / United States\nOscillating between a street festival in Philadelphia\, the slave forts and capitol city of Ghana\, and the New Jersey shore\, American Hunger explores the relationship between personal experience and collective histories. American fantasies confront African realities. African realities confront America fantasies. \nMany Thousands Gone\n2015 | 8min | Brazil / United States\nFilmed on location in Salvador\, Brazil (the last city in the Western Hemisphere to outlaw slavery) and Harlem\, NY ( an international stronghold of the African Diaspora)\, Many Thousands Gone draws parallels between a summer afternoon on the streets of the two cities. A silent version of the film was given to jazz multi-instrumentalist Joe McPhee to use an interpretive score. The final film is the combination of the images and McPhee’s real time “sight reading” of the score. \nKindah\n2016 | 00:12:00 | Jamaica / United States\nKindah was shot in Hudson\, NY and Accompong\, Jamaica. Accompong was founded in 1739 after rebel slaves and their descendants fought a protracted war with the British leading to the establishment of a treaty between the two sides. The treaty signed under British governor Edward Trelawny granted Cudjoe’s Maroons 1\,500 acres of land between their strongholds of Trelawny Town and Accompong in the Cockpits. Cudjoe\, a leader of the Maroons\, is said to have united them in their fight for autonomy under the Kindah Tree — a large\, ancient mango tree that still stands to this day. The tree symbolizes the kinship of the community on its common land. \nFluid Frontiers\n2017 | 00:23:00 | Canada / United States\nFluid Frontiers is the fifth and final film in an ongoing series of films exploring Asili’s personal relationship to the African Diaspora. Shot along the Detroit River\, Fluid Frontiers explores the relationship between concepts of resistance and liberation exemplified by the Underground Railroad\, Broadside Press\, and artworks of local Detroit Artists. All of the poems are read from original copies of Broadside Press publications by natives of the Detroit Windsor region and were shot without rehearsal. \nBio\nEphraim Asili is a Filmmaker\, DJ\, and Traveler whose work focuses on the African diaspora as a cultural force. His films have screened in festivals and venues all over the world\, including the New York Film Festival\, NY; Toronto International Film Festival\, Canada; Ann Arbor Film Festival\, MI; San Francisco International Film Festival\, CA; Milano Film Festival\, Italy; International Film Festival Rotterdam\, Netherlands; MoMA PS1\, NY; LAMOCA\, CA; Museum of Fine Arts\, Boston\, MA; and the Whitney Museum\, NY. As a DJ\, Asili can be heard on his radio program In The Cut on WGXC\, or live at his monthly dance party Botanica. Asili currently resides in Hudson\, NY\, and is a Professor in the Film and Electronic Arts Department at Bard College.
