Burroughs\, who also acts in the film. Directed by Muscha. (1984\, runtime 112 minutes) \n\nThis event is part of the monthly Kaleidotropes series\, curated by Jake Mikler of Little Red Booking. Each event features strange and unearthly arthouse cinema delights. An emphasis is placed on the uncanny — that which is dazzling but simultaneously disturbing. His selections are equally obtuse and obscure\, providing a memorable film going affair. Like a kaleidoscope\, the films are the shifting\, symmetrical forms; juggling tropes that unite each one. Little Red Booking’s intention is to provide an invigorating cinematic experience\, to showcase the rarely screened\, and provide a communal environment that cinema’s were built for—a presentation of sight and sound in the close confines of the dark.

This storefront exhibition is a multi-media display to accompany her 4-floor exhibition and early career artist survey at CEPA Gallery entitled BABY’S ON FIRE\, on view through May 2. \nAdditional video works by Rachel Rampleman are on view inside Squeaky Wheel’s microcinema during public viewing hours\, Tuesday through Saturday\, noon to 5:00pm\, through May 2. \n  \nABOUT RACHEL RAMPLEMAN \nBorn and raised in the suburbs of the Midwest\, Rampleman’s various bodies of work explore subjects like gender\, artifice\, and spectacle through the tinge of a very American lens. Part directorial\, part curatorial\, and part anthropological\, she probes into oft–overlooked elements of American culture to reveal an expanded landscape of American life. Her astute observations— awash with empathy and rife with psychological complexity—hint at an underlying dissonance that straddles the absurd. \nRampleman’s work frequently showcases strong female personalities—women who are simultaneously aberrant and superhuman—who challenge the common clichés of masculinity and femininity and who often assume roles typically associated with men. This is a landscape where sexual braggadocio\, heavy-metal rock stardom\, or muscularity have become characteristic of feminine prowess. \nFor her survey\, Rampleman’s prolific body of work will be featured in every gallery of CEPA’s Market Arcade complex. \n  \nAll of the events below are free of charge. \nOPENING RECEPTION\nSATURDAY\, APRIL 11\, 2015\n7:00PM–10:00PM \nSTOREFRONT WINDOW & MICROCiNEMA SCREENINGS\nOn display until May 2 at Squeaky Wheel. \nSURVEY EXHIBITION\nAPRIL 11–MAY 30\, 2015 at CEPA Gallery. \nSQUEAKY WHEEL FILM & MEDIA ART CENTER and CEPA GALLERY\n617 MAIN STREET\nBUFFALO\, NY 14203 URL:https://squeaky.org/event/storefront-gallery-opening-rachel-rampleman-babys-on-fire/ LOCATION:NY CATEGORIES:Exhibition ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://squeaky.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/11072414_10153232298757008_2171614154829368359_n.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20150409T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20150409T230000 DTSTAMP:20260422T031534 CREATED:20251230T190935Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251230T190935Z UID:10000595-1428606000-1428620400@squeaky.org SUMMARY:Call Me Kuchu DESCRIPTION:This event takes place at Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center.

The audience is left to their own devices\, so to speak\, as each member’s experience is then based on their own decisions. \nThis exhibition calls into question the intricacies between communication and the relationships that are embedded within the usage of technological devices\, and the objectifying gaze that is inherent. The artist is interested in how the body plays a role in the consumption of information\, and the figurative distance that the Internet has placed between individuals. As a bi-product of the 90s\, growing up in the new millennium\, her interests surround the growing debate of how the internet is contributing to the distancing of human interaction and the demise of the personal. \nLiz Bayan will be presenting an artist talk during the opening on Friday\, April 3 at 7:30pm. Handle With Care will be on view until April 25. The gallery will also be open on Saturday April 11 from 7-10pm during the opening reception of Rachel Rampleman’s exhibit at CEPA. Public viewing hours of the gallery are Tues-.Sat.\, 12-5pm. Squeaky Wheel is located on the first floor of the Market Arcade Building (617 Main St) in the downtown Theater district of Buffalo. \nLiz Bayan was born in Salem\, Oregon\, and graduated with a BFA from the University of Oregon.

A poet\, artist\, model\, and public provocateur\, the Baroness defied the social and artistic codes of her time. As with many of her female contemporaries\, the Baroness’s cultural legacy has been obscured\, and in some instances appropriated into the oeuvres of better known male peers. Accounts of her personal life are scarce and often conjectural. \nAccording to recent scholarship\, the Baroness was born Else Hildegard Plötz in 1874. At age 18\, she ran away from her middle-class Prussian home and survived as a vaudeville performer in Berlin. After a series of bohemian lovers and three failed marriages\, she found herself penniless in New York City\, a widow with the impressive title of Baroness von Freytag-Loringhoven. The Baroness was notorious for wearing outlandish costumes and cross-dressing in public\, and her overtly sexual poetry caused such scandal that she was blacklisted from the most avant-garde publications. She pioneered an assemblage aesthetic\, making sculptures and clothing from everyday objects. Many believe she gave Marcel Duchamp the porcelain urinal that later became Fountain. An important figurehead for the fledgling Dada movement in America\, the Baroness was a close friend of avant-garde luminaries such as Djuna Barnes\, Berenice Abbot\, William Carlos Williams\, and Ezra Pound. \nThe Baroness died under mysterious circumstances in 1927. In 2012\, Lily Benson and Cassandra Guan recruited a group of over fifty artists and filmmakers to produce a collective biopic about her life. Participants were invited to interpret specific biographical fragments and create filmic adaptations on their own terms. The results varied wildly in style and content: from a re-contextualized Jane Fonda interview\, to an animation depicting the effects of syphilis\, to a reconstruction of a lost 16mm film by Duchamp and Man Ray. Benson and Guan then assembled the vignettes into a feature-length film. Unfolding like an exquisite corpse\, the final narrative reveals a gloriously conflicted historical portrait. A myriad of contemporary feminist voices confront the viewer with more questions than answers. Directed by Lily Benson and Cassandra Guan. (2013\, runtime 109 minutes) \nThe Filmballad of Mamadada (trailer) from Cassandra Guan on Vimeo. \n\nThis event is part of the monthly SqueakEasy Film Series\, featuring films that highlight outlaws of popular culture and encourages individuals to challenge the status quo. \n  URL:https://squeaky.org/event/the-filmballad-of-mamadada/ LOCATION:Squeaky Wheel\, 2495 Main Street\, Suite 310\, Buffalo\, NY\, 14214\, United States CATEGORIES:Screenings ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://squeaky.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/01/21168-1.jpg GEO:42.8906261;-78.8721258 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Squeaky Wheel 2495 Main Street Suite 310 Buffalo NY 14214 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=2495 Main Street\, Suite 310:geo:-78.8721258,42.8906261 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20150326T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20150326T230000 DTSTAMP:20260422T031534 CREATED:20251230T190935Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251230T190935Z UID:10000594-1427396400-1427410800@squeaky.org SUMMARY:Club King DESCRIPTION:This film takes place at Hallwalls Contemporary Art Center.

Launched in 2013\, REEL Queer is more than just film showings–it’s a community! Now in its second season\, REEL Queer has broadened its community partnerships to include Squeaky Wheel and the Pride Center of WNY\, in addition to maintaining its preexisting relationship with founding partner Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center. \n\nPride\, based on a true story\, depicts a group of lesbian and gay activists in Maggie Thathcher’s UK who raised money to help families affected by the British miners’ strike in 1984\, at the outset of what would become the Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners campaign. The National Union of Mineworkers was reluctant to accept the group’s support due to the union’s public relations worries about being openly associated with a gay group\, so the activists instead decided to take their donations directly to Onllwyn\, a small mining village in Wales\, resulting in an alliance between the two communities. Directed by Matthew Warchus. (2014\, runtime 120 minutes) \nThe conversation continues after the screening with a panel discussion facilitated by long-time LGBTQ activist and founding member of REEL Queer Paul Morgan. \nPost-screening Panelists include:\nColin Dabkowski\, Arts Critic\, The Buffalo News\nDr. Ruth Meyerowitz\, Professor of American Studies/Feminist Labor Historian\, SUNY at Buffalo\nMark Higgins\, Board Member\, New York State Workers Compensation Board \nThis licensed nontheatrical public screening is sponsored by both the Pride Center of Western New York and the WNY Area Labor Federation.

In search of artistic forms in phenomenology and self-consciousness that transcend genres in design and art fields\, his projects engage visible and invisible matters in between people and their surroundings\, such as dialogues in a loss of certain way of seeing\, making apparentness\, and particular feelings created by a coincidental approach. Sangjun has designed interactive installations in both digital and physical spaces to amplify human relationships by traveling superficial layers of reality. \nStatement from the Artist:\nAlthough light makes everything visible\, light itself is not usually noticed because we see things reflected against it. When I look toward the sun\, everything in my vision turns into visible and invisible. This is nature’s rule: an object is only visible when light reflects it. Under the light source\, every subject is illuminated in human perception because light amplifies our vision. Ultimately\, relationship between light and shadow becomes the threshold of human perception. A sheer curtain wall slowly rocks by a wind current. Light reflects the moving curtain wall\, and makes the curtain visible. A low breeze sound and a stream of reflection drive the viewer’s motivation to discover their distance to the light. \nOpening Reception\, February 6\, 6:00pm. Artist talk at 7:00pm. \nOn view until March 21.
