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.

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: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.

Michelle Harris\, Kyla Kegler\, Dana McKnight\, Przemyslaw Moskal\, Van Tran Nguyen\, Elisa Peebles and the United Melanin Society\, Carl Spartz\, Kalpana Subramanian\, and Tony Yanick. \nHow can the shape of a work be a site of resistance? How do collaborative practices inform our ideas of activism in art? What does it mean for resistance to happen in an exhibition context? \nSqueaky Wheel’s summer group exhibition features a number of artists aiming to take these questions to task\, while asking their own. Comprised of installations\, performances\, single-screen video work\, video games\, locative sound and media pieces\, the exhibition points to strictures and traumas that have roots far preceding our current political moment\, while proposing visions\, sounds\, and networks for a future. \nThe opening on July 7 includes a screening program\, a collaborative performance by Elisa Peebles and the United Melanin Society\, and a VJ dance-party set by W. Michelle Harris. \nThe closing screening on August 25 will feature a 30 minute program with Morgan Arnett’s Creature\, Jason Bernagozzi I Believe It Is A Signal\, Charlie Best and Jaz Palermo’s Tale of the Androgyne\, Kyla Kegler’s Do You Think My Arms Are Too Big\, Carl Spartz’ CH 13\, and Elisa Peebles’ Home. The gallery will also be open for those wishing to see the exhibition. \nSqueaky Wheel will also be releasing a video series of artist conversations throughout the exhibition. \n \nEvent Program \nSaturday\, July 29\, 3pm\nDislocations: A Sound Walk with Kalpana Subramanian\nArtist Kalpana Subramanian will present a artist talk/screening at Squeaky Wheel\, followed by a tour with the audience of the Allentown neighborhood where participants can experience her locative sound work Dislocations. \nSaturday\, August 12\, 3pm\nAd Hoc Mobile Network Workshop with Tony Yanick\nArtist Tony Yanick will lead a raspberry pi workshop on how participants can build their own local networks\, while exploring how other artists and activists have utilized such structures and systems. \nFriday\, August 25\, 7pm\nShape of a Pocket: Screening\nThe day preceding the closing of Shape of a Pocket will see a repeat of the screening that accompanies the exhibition\, featuring work by Morgan Arnett\, Jason Bernagozzi\, Charlie Best and Jaz Palermo\, Kyla Kegler\, and Elisa Peebles. \n\nThe exhibition and opening reception are free and open to the general public. Squeaky Wheel’s public hours are Tuesday–Saturday\, 12–5pm. \nFor more information on our event programs\, contact ekrem@squeaky.org or follow us on our website and social media. \nShape of a Pocket is curated by Squeaky Wheel curator Ekrem Serdar\, in collaboration with jury members Amber Dennis (curator\, The Schoolyard)\, John Massier (curator\, Hallwalls Contemporary Arts Center)\, and Caitlin Margaret Coder (Squeaky Wheel Spring 2017 Curatorial Intern). \n\n\n\nBiographies \nMorgan Arnett was born in Pensacola\, Florida and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 2014 from the University of West Florida with a Presidential Talent Scholarship for Studio Art. She is a member of the College Arts Association\, the Phi Kappa Phi Honors Society\, and the Golden Key International Honors Society. She has worked collaboratively on a number of projects in her community and recently studied abroad in Beijing\, China. She enjoys watching science fiction films\, reading as many books as she has time to (especially short stories and horror novels)\, spending time near or in large bodies of water\, and working in a notebook obsessively. \nJason Bernagozzi is a video\, sound and new media artist living and working in upstate New York and is the co-founder of the experimental media arts non-profit Signal Culture. His work has been featured nationally and internationally at venues such as the European Media Arts Festival in Osnabruk\, Germany\, the LOOP Video Art Festival in Barcelona\, Spain\, the Beyond/In Western NY Biennial in Buffalo\, NY\, and the Yan Gerber International Arts Festival in Hebei Province\, China. His work has received several awards including grants from the New York State Council for the Arts\, free103point9 and the ARTS Council for the Southern Finger Lakes. \nJaz Palermo is a performance artist and gender illusionist working in western new york\, in the realms of video and sound\, and craft. Their work references high camp\, theater\, childhood\, and memory in cathartic re-imaginings of life events and fantastical alter selves. When pressed for comment they said “I have chosen this dimension to spread the message of a future without bounds\, museums without walls\, and inter-galactic harmony\, and you should consider yourself very lucky.” Their work exists in the internet under various aliases of Jaz Palermo\, Normie Neutro\, and Teenie Hams. Charlie Best is a multi media artist from Western New York. They use sculpture\, textiles\, video\, sound\, illustration\, and printmaking to make work that cannot exist without collaboration. In between spaces and beings become realized\, often through performance\, object making\, and ongoing\, interrupted projects. They believe that any act of our lives\, if we do it consciously and concentratedly to cultivate a collaborative attitude of listening\, is art. This is where the work begins\, dynamic and collaborative in nature\, balancing in fantasy and quotidian possibility. Their zines\, prints\, and fabric works are locally known and shared worldwide. Together\, Charlie and Jaz form Chaz\, a nonlinear\, nonscheduled\, nonbinary artist amalgamation. Chaz’s performative practice involves live video processing\, improvisation\, the accordion\, costume\, glitter\, poetry words\, with the capacity to expand and exclude any material or process needed. Integral to Chaz’s creative process is not knowing which bathroom to use. Though small\, Chaz will grow up\, someday. \nW. Michelle Harris is a digital media artist who uses code as a medium for engaging discussions as a Black woman in American culture. Harris creates installations (often interactive) and produces live-mixed visuals for collaborative performances. Her elegant and playful artwork (solo and collaborative) has been shown at such diverse venues as the Rochester Fringe\, Baobab Cultural Center\, Syracuse Community Folk Art Center\, INSTINT\, ACM SIGGRAPH\, and World Maker Faire. Harris has a computer engineering degree from Carnegie Mellon University and a master’s degree from the Interactive Telecommunications Program of NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. She is an associate professor in the School of Interactive Games and Media at Rochester Institute of Technology. \nKyla Kegler: I am an artist currently based in Buffalo. My recent work is notably informed by a long-standing yoga\, physical therapy and somatic research practice\, a close involvement with the contemporary conceptual dance scene in Berlin\, and an urgent relationship to art as my tool for socio-political activism and research. I choreograph artistic encounters that use time-based mediums such as video\, sound\, performance\, instructionals\, and installations\, to facilitate tactile and sensual interactions. \nDana McKnight is a multidisciplinary Black/Queer Artist\, Writer and the President/Founder of Dreamland Arts. \nA native of Poland\, Przemysław J. (P.J.) Moskal immigrated to the U.S. in 1990.

SUMMARY:Jerichow
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, June 7\, 2017\n 7pm\n @ Squeaky Wheel\n General $7 | $5 for Squeaky Wheel Members \nFate brings a trio together in Jerichow (2008)\, a small town in eastern Germany plagued by a population exodus and unemployment. An ex-soldier’s encounter with a couple of Turkish descent – the owner of a chain of snack bars and his enigmatic wife – pushes all three over the edge. A sexy\, tightly constructed remake of The Postman Rings Twice (1946). \nA taut\, German-made thriller\, Jerichow adds a bit of European xenophobia to the pulp traditions of passion and betrayal. – Stephen Rea\, Philadelphia Inquirer \nVisit cultivatecinemacircle.com for more info.

SUMMARY:Silo City Reading Series (with Mary Helena Clark)
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 3\, 2017\n 7pm\n @ Silo City \nSqueaky Wheel co-presents an edition of Just Buffalo’s signature summer reading series with a special screening by artist Mary Helena Clark. Clark will be journeying to Buffalo to present her hypnotic\, uncanny 20 minute film Delphi Falls\, which recently had its premiere at the 2017 Whitney Biennial\, and which Clark worked on during her Workspace residency at Squeaky Wheel in 2016. Join us at Silo City as we welcome back the artist for a night of dreamy music\, poetry\, and film\, including Aidan Ryan\, Cages\, and Colorado-based poet and operator of the Dream Delivery Service\, Mathias Svalina. \nMary Helena Clark is an artist working in film\, video\, and installation. Her work uses the language of collage\, often bringing together disparate subjects and styles that suggest an exterior logic or code\, to explore dissociative states through cinema. Clark’s films have screened at the 2017 Whitney Biennial (New York)\, the Wexner Center for the Arts (Columbus)\, Grazer Kunstverein (Graz\, Austria)\, Anthology Film Archives (New York)\, Museum of Contemporary Photography (Chicago)\, National Gallery of Art (Washington DC)\, the Swedish Film Institute (Stockholm)\, and at the International Film Festival Rotterdam\, the New York Film Festival\, the Toronto International Film Festival\, BFI London Film Festival\, the Hong Kong International Film Festival\, and BAMcinématek\, among others. She has curated film programs at Altman Siegel (San Francisco)\, The Nightingale (Chicago)\, and Bridget Donahue (New York).

SUMMARY:[Noo Phone in the Black Space]: or How to Avoid Roaming Charges
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, May 25 + Friday\, May 26\n7pm\n@ Silo City\nFree and open to the general public \nSqueaky Wheel is proud to present an augmented reality performance by Buffalo based media artist Yvette Granata and San Jose based artist and performer Andrew Blanton. For two consecutive evenings the artists will install and perform in a visual\, sonic performance that transforms the grand halls of Silo City through emerging technologies. \nCan augmented reality be used as the creation of new forms of collectivity? Or does it produce new forms of spatio-temporal apartheids? Through their respective approaches to performative augmentation and mobile media\, Andrew Blanton and Yvette Granata’s works inquire into the manner in which augmented reality and media performance can be framed as a critical dialogue between the alliances and the vacuoles of mobile realities. \nInterpreting augmented reality as performance space\, their works are audiovisual performances and variations on collective and un-collective space. The works form a critical dialogue on augmented life\, collecting performances of sound and image — an ambient group text message\, a vertical disorientation through camera-apps\, a hand-held sonic immersion\, and a modulation of ambient feedback of the Silos.

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. Where resignation gives hope for another opportunity\, another form\, for a return to the vicissitudes of the living and all their refractions. \n“I’m from Oklahoma I ain’t got no one to call my own. \nIf you will be my honey\, I will be your sugar pie way hi ya \nway ya hi ya way ya hi yo” \n-Diane Burns (1957-2006) \nDislocation Blues\n~18 min / In-progress\nAn incomplete and imperfect portrait of reflections from Standing Rock.

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.
