SUMMARY:Art and the Documentary Turn with Rachael Rakes & Leo Goldsmith
DESCRIPTION:Art and the Documentary Turn with Rachael Rakes & Leo Goldsmith\nWednesday\, August 16th\, 7-9pm\n$7 members / $10 general \nLed by Workspace residents Rachael Rakes and Leo Goldsmith\, this lecture / processual seminar considers the post-1990s “documentary turn” within contemporary art\, taking on coextensive pivots in non-fiction cinema towards a language of video art and installation\, from a variety of historical\, curatorial\, and critical perspectives. In addition to looking at examples in moving-image media\, the seminar touches upon artists working with still images\, objects\, performance\, sound\, interactivity\, and activism as documentary practice. Rakes and Goldsmith will discuss the relative discourses of documentary media and the art world\, consider the relationship between the traditions of art\, documentary\, archival research\, and journalism\, and raise issues of presentation\, contextualization\, and preservation for curators and artists alike in the current regime of contemporary art and neoliberal politics. The seminar will touch upon issues of production and exhibition of all forms of documentary art practice\, and also consider the politics and ethics of art-making in the social realm. This event should be of of interest to artists\, filmmakers\, curators\, activists\, writers\, and anyone interested in media and social practice. \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. \n\n  \nThis workshop is part of the Workspace Residency. Workspace 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. More information on the summer 2017 residents can be found here.

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. She worked closely with visionary multimedia artist Ranjit Makkuni at Sacred World Research Laboratory on several interactive exhibits and museums. Her commissioned films have been part of exhibits at the National Gallery of Modern Art & Prince of Wales Museum (Mumbai)\, National Museum (New Delhi)\, among many others. Her films have been screened at various festivals including the Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival\, Interfilm Berlin\, Human Rights Film Festival (Spain)\, Green Film Festival (Korea) and Signes de Nuit (Paris/Bangkok/Berlin/Lisbon)\, Big Ears Festival 2017\, among others. Awards include a UK Environmental Film Fellowship 2006\, Jury’s Special Mention at the CMS Vatavaran Film Festival\, the International Audi Design Award 1996\, Merit award for Conservation Message\, Award for Creative Approach and Cinematography at the International Film Festival of Montana and a nomination for a Wildscreen (Panda) award. Portrait of Yvonne Lo in Assisi\, a video installation won an audience award at the Documentary Festival of History and Archeology in Perugia\, Italy in 2015.

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.

SUMMARY:Audio Recording Package Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Recording your own band or podcast doesn’t always require going into a professional studio.

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.

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.

SUMMARY:The State I Am In
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, March 1st\n 7pm\n @ Squeaky Wheel\n General $7 | Free for Squeaky Wheel Members \nStarting Cultivate Cinema Circle’s series dedicated to the essential filmmaker Christian Petzold\, The State I Am In depicts a teenager (Julia Hummer) who travels back to Germany with her fugitive parents (Barbara Auer\, Richy Müller)\, former terrorists in need of money.  For 15 years now\, the parents have been leading an underground existence\, hiding among the anonymous tourists on the beaches of Portugal. They have broken a taboo: they have conceived a daughter. A girl who has never swapped clothes with her friends\, never skipped classes in school\, camped out at lakes\, got drunk and broken off with her boyfriend in ice-cream parlours. A girl who is alone. \nThe parents are just about to establish some sort of legal identity for themselves in Brazil\, when a slight negligence causes everything to fall apart around them. And again they are on the run\, which brings them back to Germany. Meanwhile\, their daughter has fallen in love. A love which will lead to a tragedy and destroy the family. \nThe State I Am In / 2001 / 106 min / digital / Germany \nThroughout 2017\, Cultivate Cinema Circle\, in collaboration with Squeaky Wheel and the Goethe Institute Boston\, will be presenting a monthly series dedicated to the essential German filmmaker Christian Petzold.

With images (sensual\, sexual and defiant) and words intended to provoke\, Anthem reasserts the “self-evident right” to life and liberty in an era of pervasive anti-gay\, anti-Black backlash and hysterical cultural repression. \n \nCipka (Pussy)\nRenata Gąsiorowska\n8min / digital / Poland / 2015\nA young girl spends the evening alone at home. She decides to have some sweet solo pleasure session\, but not everything goes according to plan. \ndiamonds.\nKatiuska Herrand\n1min / digital / USA / 2013\nProduced by: Ladi’Sasha Jones ladijones.com/\nDirected by: Tiona McClodden for Harriet’s Gun Media harrietsgunmedia.com\nhow to love a woman\, incorrectly\nThere is nothing casual about love\, nothing casual about women\, or breaking hearts. Every relationship we find ourselves in\, the situations and the circumstances\, for the effect we have on them this book is written. For the long nights and manic thoughts\, unsteady behavior\, bad habits\, this book is written. For the men\, and women\, and whoever says there’s something in between\, that have ever loved a woman\, this book is written. \n \nDesire Pie\nLisa Crafts\n5min / digital / USA / 1976\nExplicitly and unabashedly erotic\, this humorous\, fantasy-filled animation is a celebration of the joys of sex\, set to a magnetic jazz score. Just under 5 minutes in length\, this jubilant artifact from the sexually liberated 70’s portrays a couple aided by additional lips\, tongues\, imaginings\, and positions\, featuring points of view rarely seen. In addition to all the fun\, Desire Pie is also utilized as a teaching aid for women’s studies\, history of erotic art\, sexuality studies and sex therapy.\nDesire Pie has been screened at the Museum of Modern Art\, Tribeca Film Festival\, Annecy International Film Festival\, Light Industry\, Yerba Buena Art Center\, Ann Arbor Film Festival and Boston Independent Film Festival. It is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art\, NY. \nVanilla Sex\nCheryl Dunye\n3min / digital / USA / 1992\nIs it who you do\, or what you do? \n \nSHE WHOSE BLOOD IS CLOTTING IN MY UNDERWEAR\nVika Kirchenbauer\n3 min / digital / Germany / 2016\nMade for the performance project Cool For You\, this video follows an artist’s research on thermal vision and the enhanced gazes of modern warfare. She uses these technical means to discuss intimacy and the body. \n \nDo You Want to Go For a Drive?\nKelly Gallagher\n5min / digital / USA / 2016\nDo You Want to Go for a Drive? is an experimental essay film by Kelly Gallagher\, illustrating the importance of consent. The film also explores sexual agency\, love\, pleasure\, mutual desire\, violence\, vengeance\, the moon and the sky. The title\, a call and response with the final line of the film (“It’s you I really want to drive”)\, more importantly serves to commence the entire viewing experience with the asking of a question- which is how all sexual encounters should begin\, with the asking for consent. – Kelly Gallagher \n \nSolitary Acts #6\nNazlı Dinçel\n11min / 16mm / USA / 2015\nThis is a feminist critique of the Oedipal complex. The filmmaker recounts an abortion she had in 2009. The aborted child survives and becomes her lover. Her subject is filmed in a private act\, complicating what could be an act of the solitary. -Nazlı Dinçel \nSense Her\nTara Merenda Nelson\nLive Performance / Super 8mm with Live Sound on Record Player / USA / 2011\nSense Her is a 1970’s stag film (Super 8 color) showing a naked woman performing a ‘bellydance’ with a plastic statue of a man. Before I show the film\, I distribute “censor bars” to the audience; these are made of cardboard rectangles and squares attached to long pieces of wire. I ask the audience to help me ‘censor’ the film as it plays by blocking out the ‘naughty bits’. I also play a record of bellydance music on a record player during the performance.\nThe result is very entertaining\, as the individual members of the audience reach to “censor” the dancers’ naked body while she jiggles and gyrates on the screen. As the shots change from wide angle to close up\, the censor bars are caught in a dance of their own\, as they attempt to anticipate the dancers’ next move. The audience becomes engaged not only in a dialog with the image on screen\, but in a broader contextualization of the expectations of censorship in our society. – Tara Nelson

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

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

SUMMARY:Rachel Rampleman: Baby's On Fire
DESCRIPTION:Rachel Rampleman is the inaugural artist for Squeaky Wheel’s new storefront window gallery—viewable 24 hours a day/7 days a week from Main Street. 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

SUMMARY:Liz Bayan: HANDLE WITH CARE
DESCRIPTION:OPENING: Friday\, April 3rd\, 2015\nLOCATION: Squeaky Wheel\, 617 Main St. \nThis multi-media interactive installation culls on the viewer’s responsiveness to play along with a set of parameters in order to activate the objects present within the gallery. 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. Currently she is an MFA Candidate in her last semester at University at Buffalo with future plans of staying local and teaching media art to youth. Handle With Care\, was generously supported by the Technē Institute for Arts and Emerging Technologies\, a UB supported initiative. \nSqueaky Wheel Film & Media Arts Center’s gallery programming is generously supported in part by grants and awards received from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts\, the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA)\, City of Buffalo Cultural Funding\, Erie County Arts & Cultural Funding\, individual members\, businesses\, and supporters.

SUMMARY:The Filmballad of Mamadada
DESCRIPTION:This event has a special introduction by celebrated Dada scholars Elizabeth Otto & Sarah Bay-Cheng\, a live performance by experimental poet Mike Basinski\, and post-screening filmmaker Skype w/ Lily Benson and Cassandra Guan. \nThe Filmballad of MAMADADA tells the story of Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven\, unsung member of the New York Dada movement. 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
