SUMMARY:Jenson Leonard: GLAND PRIX
DESCRIPTION:Opening Friday\, May 27\, 2022 at Squeaky Wheel\nOn view through August 29\, 2022\, Tuesday and Wednesdays\, 12–5pm and by appointment.\nClick here to download the GLAND PRIX Strategy Guide (V. 3.00)\nSqueaky Wheel is excited to present a new solo exhibition by new media artist Jenson Leonard. GLAND PRIX is a multiple-screen video exhibition to explore the stressors and somatic effects that racial capitalism and white supremacy have on Black life. \nFeaturing a drum and bass soundtrack\, the newest work by the Philadelphia based new media artist and poet functions as a manifestation and reflection of the embodied effects of settler-colonial violence. The work is emblematic of Leonard’s singular\, joyous\, and concentrated work: Using the visual tactics and language of viral internet memes\, and wrapped within racing iconography\, GLAND PRIX considers and draws from pop culture\, medical racism/medical apartheid\, the video game Gran Turismo\, Achille Mbembe’s notion of necropolitics\, anime aesthetics\, and much more to raise awareness\, invite conversation\, and reflect upon the cumulative\, cellular burden of chronic stress and traumatic life events. \nThe opening of the exhibition will feature remarks with the artist in person. A “Strategy Guide” for the exhibition provides a walkthrough of the exhibition with visual and audio descriptions\, explanations of Leonard’s key references\, and a newly commissioned essay by Cameron A. Granger. \nThe exhibition is on view Tuesdays and Wednesdays\, 12–5 pm and by appointment. To make an appointment\, email ekrem@squeaky.org. \nThis project was made possible through support from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. \nPublic programs \nPOSTPONED – Tuesday\, May 24\, 6–8:30 pm : Workshop | Meme workshop with Jenson Leonard (in-person and virtual). \nFriday\, May 27\, 7 pm: Opening | GLAND PRIX  with Jenson Leonard (in-person) \nWednesday\, June 15\, 12 pm ET: Artist talk | Jenson Leonard and American Artist in conversation. Virtual – Click here to register. \nFriday\, August 26: Screening | Jenson Leonard’s Workflow\, followed by a conversation with Jenson Leonard and Johann Diedrick (in person and virtual). Click here to register. \nAbout the artist\nJenson Leonard\, b. Detroit\, Michigan\, and raised in Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, United States of America. Lives and works in New York\, United States of America. Initially a poet\, Jenson Leonard became interested in memes during his six-year tenure as a cook at a Belgian waffle kiosk. He found himself drawn to the immediacy and reach of instant publication on social media\, the confluence of which exacerbate the arguably inherent power of the image for those who see. His early work used the canonical Twitter meme format\, but developed into the more ornately parodic style that predominates in the left-leaning corners of Facebook. He holds an MFA in Creative Writing from Pratt Institute. He has completed residencies at Obracadobra (Oaxaca\, Mexico)\, Squeaky Wheel (Buffalo\, NY) and Pioneer Works (Brooklyn\, NYC). His work has been featured in VICE Motherboard\, Juxtapoz\, AQNB\, and Rhizome. \nAbout the writer\nCameron A. Granger came up in Cleveland\, Ohio alongside his mother\, Sandra\, inheriting both her love of soul music\, and habit of apologizing too much. A video artist\, he uses his work as both a site for memory making\, and as means to strategize new ways of remembrance in our age of mass media. His recent projects include “The Get Free Telethon” a 24 hour livestream community fundraiser sponsored by Red Bull Arts\, “Pearl” a body of collaborative works with his mother at Ctrl+Shft in Oakland\, and “A library\, for you” a traveling community library most recently housed at ikattha project space in Bombay\, India. He’s a 2017 alumni of the Skowhegan School for Paint & Sculpture and a current artist in residence at the Studio Museum in Harlem. \nBanner image courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY: i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me back
DESCRIPTION:Opening Wednesday\, October 6\, 2021 in Squeaky Wheel’s window gallery and online\nOn view through February 14\, 2022\nClick here to access the online project\nSqueaky Wheel is excited to present a solo exhibition and web project by artist and poet SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY. \nA memory stone and love letter\, i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me back is a four channel realtime multimedia installation and part two of HOLLOWAY’s DOG WHISTLE series. Using the series’ signature blue light and heavy bold text\, the work thinks through the aesthetics of accumulation and the vocabulary of loss using poetry and 3D objects that pile up and overflow. Each object on screen is a manipulation of a digital scan of an item that once held significance in the artist’s life and will be destroyed on a continuous loop for the duration of the installation. Parallel to the window installation\, i would’ve said goodbye if i thought you loved me back is also accessible at home via the web and is programmed to evolve with audience participation through Valentine’s Day 2022. The exhibition will be accompanied by a newly commissioned essay on the artists work by Camille Bacon. Web development support provided by Nick Briz. \nThe artist invites you to submit photos of your own objects to be part of the work. These can be photographs of things you no longer have\, want\, or feel connected to\, that remind you of those you can no longer love. You can send the photograph as a text message to the number ‪(716) 650-0687‬ or via email to youlovedmeback@gmail.com . Please note that photos may be modified for privacy and technical purposes (such as the removal of identifiable faces.) \nPublic programs \nWednesday\, October 6\, 7 pm ET\nVirtual artist talk: SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY and Camille Bacon. Register here. \nWednesday\, February 9–14\, 2022\nOnline project: [ E N | C L O S I N G ]. Register here. \nMonday\, February 14\, 2022\, 6:00 pm ET\nPLASMA: Virtual artist talk with SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY. Presented by the Department of Media Study\, University at Buffalo SUNY. More information here. \nAbout the artist and contributors \nSHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY is a new media artist and poet. Through works of video installation\, software\, and real-time performance\, her work often critically engages the technical language of instruction\, especially the aesthetics and mechanics of practices from queer feminist BDSM communities\, to direct viewers to read\, play\, or listen their way through narratives that guide them in and out of visceral memories\, asking them to confront intense emotions like desire\, shame\, or regret\, and to employ them as mechanisms to navigate through and/or away from abuses of power. She has spoken and exhibited work internationally in spaces like The New Museum (NYC)\, The Kitchen (NYC)\, The Time-Based Art Festival (Portland)\,  Institute of Contemporary Arts (London)\, Hebbel am Ufer HAU (Berlin)\, and NTS Radio (London). SHAWNÉ was a 20-21 Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art Queer Theatre & Performance Resident as well as a resident at Portland Institute for Contemporary Art’s Creative Exchange Lab. \nCamille Bacon is a Chicago-based critic and writer who recently graduated from Smith College in Northampton\, MA\, and is crafting a “sweet Black writing life\,” as inspired by the words of poet Nikky Finney. \nNick Briz is an internationally recognized new-media artist\, educator and organizer. His work investigates the promises and perils of living in an increasingly digital and networked world. He is an active participant in various online communities and conversations including glitch art\, net art\, remix culture\, digital literacy\, hacktivism and digital rights. He’s co-founder of netizen.org a nonprofit focused on digital literacy and digital culture\, he’s Associate Professor Adjunct at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, Lecturer at the University of Chicago\, and a freelance Creative Technologist. \nThis program was funded in part by Humanities New York with support from the National Endowment for the Humanities. \n \n  \nImage: SHAWNÉ MICHAELAIN HOLLOWAY\, dog-whistle-unity-still_1unfinished-rose-obj+1petal-(slow)spawn.png\, unity still\, 2019

SUMMARY:Public Visualization Studio: Passing Through the Heart
DESCRIPTION:Opening Friday\, November 13\, 2020 @ Squeaky Wheel’s window gallery. On view through April 2\, 2021.\nOpening event: virtual cooking show with Immony Mèn and Patricio Dávila at on November 13\, 6:00 pm ET.\n\nPassing through the Heart is a multi-media installation and series of virtual events by Public Visualization Studio that focus on immigrant and refugee family and knowledge-sharing through cooking. Members of Public Visualization Studio (PVS) cook recipes from their heritage that are recorded through traditional and emergent technologies. Non-optical motion capture\, photogrammetry\, videography\, and audio recording come together to create a dialogue about migration\, community\, political conflicts\, mourning\, healing\, and transformation. \nInstalled as a synchronized multi-screen work in Squeaky Wheel’s window gallery\, Passing Through the Heart features four interactive\, virtual\, multi-media cooking shows\, with members of PVS cooking traditional recipes provided by local and international guests\, who will be in dialogue through the event. Playing on traditional cooking show tropes\, the events are documented through a seven-screen set-up in PVS’ studios. The conversations in the cooking show prompt how we can acknowledge the formation of transnational identities within North America while asking critical questions on data visualization. What are the recipes that preserve our stories through generations and migration? What does it mean for these gestures to be so precisely captured through data visualization? How do our stories live where we are? \nAudiences are invited to view the installation in Squeaky Wheel’s window gallery in downtown Buffalo through February 27 and join the monthly cooking shows hosted by the artists (and are encouraged to cook together.) Recipes and shopping lists will be provided in advance. The cooking shows will be made available on our website for those who miss the live events. \nVirtual events as part of this exhibition\nClick on the links to find out more and view the individual episodes. Information about upcoming episodes TBA. \nNovember 13\, 2020\, 6 pm ET\nEpisode 1 with Immony Mén and Patricio Dávila\n \nDecember 11\, 2020\, 6 pm ET\nEpisode 2 with Kalpana Subramanian \nFebruary 26\, 2021\, 5 pm ET\nEpisode 3 with Bryan Lee \nMarch 10\, 2021\, 6 pm ET\nEpisode 4 with Alexandra Gelis & Jorge Lozano (Postponed: We will share a new date soon.) \n \n\n\n \nBio \nPublic Visualization Studio is a design collective whose members are designers\, artists\, creative technologists and researchers. The collective creates projects as a means to pursue inquiries into the political and conceptual aspects of interaction\, space and media. Its members attempt to investigate how specific technologies of vision\, communication and gesture support our experiences in participatory spaces. Members of the collective have exhibited nationally and internationally\, and have worked in a variety of areas including public projection\, media architecture\, locative media\, video installation\, exhibition design\, interaction\, communication design and media scholarship. PVS works in collaboration with the Public Visualization Lab\, a university-based lab in Toronto. PVS members are Patricio Dávila\, Dave Colangelo\, Immony Mèn\, Jay Irizawa\, Maggie Chan\, Preethi Jagadeesh\, David Schnitman\, Robert Tu\, Symon Oliver\, Bohdan Anderson\, David Czarnowski\, Alexis Mavrogiannis\, Tim Macleod\, Tati Petkovic\, and Jeff McArthur.

SUMMARY:Jordan Lord's Shared Resources
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, November 6\, 2020\, 7–9:30 pm ET\nConversation with Jordan Lord and Emily Watlington at 8:45 pm ET.\nFree or suggested donation\nRegistration required. Click here to register.\nAccess information: The film is presented with open captions and audio description. Video introductions and conversations will feature live captions and ASL interpretation. The Google Doc Q&A features screen reader and screen magnification support. If you encounter any issues\, please send us a text message at 716-427-4125. \nWatch the conversation with Jordan Lord\, Albert Lord\, Deborah Lord\, and Emily Watlington above. \nMade over five years\, Jordan Lord’s feature-length documentary Shared Resources depicts the filmmaker and their family after Lord’s father was fired from his job as a debt collector and their parents declared Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Following their parents day to day lives and the filmmaker’s complicated relationship with them\, the film self-reflexively utilizes open captions and visual descriptions both to provide access to Blind and Deaf audiences and to open the processes of documentary-making and reception. Much as the film finds the ties of moral\, institutional\, societal\, and financial debt amongst the filmmaker and their family members\, it accordingly asks what debts are owed to audiences. Moving\, humorous\, and propelled by Lord’s central question – what does it mean to owe each other everything – Shared Resources depicts a Southern\, white\, middle-class family navigating the devastating effects of capitalism to propose a documentary practice based in continual consent and acknowledgment of the debts between filmmakers\, the people whose lives they document\, and audiences. \nThe filmmaker will be present for a conversation and Q&A with Emily Watlington following the screening. Audiences will be able to leave reactions\, comments\, and questions through a shared Google Doc. Instructions for how to view and participate in the event will be communicated via email. The event will be available to register and view for 24 hours. SW members will have access to the event for 72 hours. \n \n \nThis event is part of Timeline(s) of Care. Comprised of five single-night screenings\, artist talks\, and interactive events taking place throughout Fall 2020. The series focuses on illness\, disability\, and care work across generations\, crisscrossing timelines\, and the minutiae of personal\, social\, political\, and institutional life. These works acknowledge the lives and work of those who came before us to create different tomorrows. \n\nBios of the artists \nJordan Lord is a filmmaker\, writer\, and artist\, working primarily in video\, text\, and performance. Their work addresses the relationships between historical and emotional debts\, framing and support\, access and documentary. Their work has been shown internationally at festivals and venues including DOCNYC\, Artists Space\, Anthology Film Archives\, and Camden Arts Centre. Their solo exhibition of video work “After…After…” was presented by Piper Keys at Raven Row in London\, UK\, and their work was screened as part of the festival on art and disability “I Wanna Be with You Everywhere” at Performance Space NY. \nEmily Watlington is assistant editor at Art in America. She writes about contemporary art—primarily video—often through the lenses of feminism and disability justice. A Fulbright scholar with a master’s degree from MIT in the history\, theory\, and criticism of architecture and art\, she has held curatorial positions at the MIT List Visual Arts Center and MassArt’s Bakalar and Paine Galleries (now the MassArt Art Museum). Her writing has appeared in publications such as Artforum\, Mousse\, and Frieze\, and she has contributed to numerous books and exhibition catalogues\, including Before Projection: Video Sculpture 1974–1995 (2018)\, An Inventory of Shimmers: Objects of Intimacy in Contemporary Art (2017)\, and Independent Female Filmmakers (Routledge\, 2018). \nImages provided by Jordan Lord and Emily Watlington.

SUMMARY:Hala Lotfy's Coming Forth by Day
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 28\, 2020\, 7–9:30 pm ET\nFree or suggested donation\nConversation with Hala Lotfy and Ekrem Serdar at 8:50 pm ET.\nRegistration required. Click here to register.\nAccess information: The film is presented in Arabic\, with English subtitles. Video introductions and conversations will feature ASL interpretation and open captions. The Google Doc Q&A features screen reader and screen magnification support. If you encounter any issues\, please send us a text message at 716-427-4125. \nHala Lotfy’s 2012 intimately observed narrative feature film Al-khoroug lel-nahar (Coming Forth by Day) follows a day and night in the life of a young woman named Suad living in Cairo on the days before the Egyptian Revolution. Living with her sick and disabled father\, whom she takes care of with her nurse mother\, Lotfy’s quiet and powerful film depicts the vigilance\, routines\, exhaustion and isolation that can accompany care work. When Suad decides to leave the house for a few hours\, a tide of change is set into motion. Set against the backdrop of a country at a moment of change\, and titled after the Egyptian Book of the Dead\, Lofty’s award-winning film heralded a new Egyptian cinema as it stretches time to imagine what comes tomorrow. \nI had this feeling that we were suffocating. Anyone who visited Egypt before the revolution just caught this feeling in the air. It was a huge despair and everyone had the feeling we could not proceed this way. So the film was not intended to be like this but it was something I could not avoid. Losing hope\, I could not avoid that. – Hala Lotfy\, The National \nFollowing the screening\, the filmmaker will be present for a conversation and Q&A with Ekrem Serdar. Audiences will be able to leave reactions\, comments\, and questions through a shared Google Doc. Instructions for how to view and participate in the event will be communicated via email. The event will be available to view for 24 hours after the event and SW members will have access for 72 hours. \nHala Lotfy\, Al-khoroug lel-nahar (Coming Forth by Day)\, 100 min\, 2012\nThis event is part of Timeline(s) of Care. Comprised of five single-night screenings\, artist talks\, and interactive events taking place throughout Fall 2020. The series focuses on illness\, disability\, and care work across generations\, crisscrossing timelines\, and the minutiae of personal\, social\, political\, and institutional life. These works acknowledge the lives and work of those who came before us to create different tomorrows. \nBio \n\nHala Lotfy is an Egyptian director\, producer and the founder of Hassala Films collective. Ann Al Sho’our Bel Berouda (“Feeling Cold”\, 2005) is one of her notable documentary works\, which received numerous awards including the Special Jury Prize at the National Film Festival in Egypt.

SUMMARY:Squeaky Wheel's 17th Animation Fest!
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 25\, 2020\, 7 pm ET\nFree or suggested donation\nRegistration required. Click here to register.\nUpon registration\, you will receive an email with information on how to view the event. If you encounter any issues\, please send us a text message at 716-427-4125. \nSqueaky Wheel is excited to announce the 17th edition of our annual Animation Fest! The festival showcases artworks made in a diverse variety of animation techniques such as stop-motion\, claymation\, 3D animation\, hand-painted film\, special effects\, and motion graphics. This years virtual edition is guest curated by Tabia Lewis\, and focuses on the interconnectivity between magical realism\, trans-subjectivity\, and experimental animation. Filmmakers featured in the fest include aleksandar radan\, Azalia Primadita Muchransyah\, Jazmyn Palermo\, Jeanette Fantone\, Jia-Rey Chang\, Jordan Shaw\, Karis Jones\, Rosa Barbara Nussbaum\, sandra araújo\, Serena Lee. The 17th Animation Fest is sponsored by Villa Maria College. \nThe screening will be followed by a live Q&A over Google Docs with the curator and several of the artists at 8 pm. The screening and Google Docs Q&A will be available to view for up to 24 hours. An essay by the curator will be available for all who register for the event. If you miss the live event\, you can register to view the event through Saturday\, September 26\, 7 pm ET. \nProgram\n47 minutes total. This program is intended for audiences age 13 and up. Content warnings: Nudity\, flashing lights and images\, low-frequency noises\, body horror\, suggested death. Images and descriptions of the films courtesy of the filmmakers. \n \nSerena Lee\, Axolotl\, 6:19 min\, 2007\nBased on a short story by Julio Cortázar — please refer to email conversation between myself and Tabia Lewis 🙂 \n \nRosa Barbara Nussbaum\, The Golfers\, 2:13 min\, 2018\nA young woman finds golf balls and hatches them into tiny golfers on her night stand. Hand drawn cel animation. \n \nJeanette Fantone\, Duet\, 3:11 min\, 2019\nDuet is an audiovisual piece exploring the relationship between two siblings. In separate existence\, their eventual permeation is found with synchrony and saturation. \n \nKaris Jones\, Lawton\, 3:04\, 2020\nA collection of 312 drawings illustrating Lawton. A thing that lives in a room where things it does not understand happen. \n \naleksandar radan\, in between identities\, 9:00 min\, 2015\nIn between Identities originated from a game mod in which the artist manipulated disoriented\, half-naked avatars that wander around darkened cityscapes in bathing suits\, fur coats\, or with slices of cucumber over their eyes. They function as shell-like proxies for players\, appearing at once strangely massive and empty within the sometimes crude aesthetic of the computer game. The computer game offers a fascinating realm of possibility\, that both despite and because of its very specifications and preconfigurations continually offers room for improvisation and intuition. Within the circumscribed\, programmed space\, the freedom arises to undermine the “actual” purpose of the game. In abandoning the script and storyboard\, new narratives and choreography can be orchestrated with the remaining elements.\nHere\, the avatars seem to have their own lives in the grey zone between the player’s identity and that of the character played. The collapse of meaningful connections leaves behind a void that can be understood both as a free space outside of everyday routines as well as a space lacking in the means for making personal connections. As observers\, we experience ourselves as voyeuristic participants in the game and plunge into its dreamlike atmosphere of shifting realities and identities. \n \nsandra araújo\, MOM\, I’M NOT EATING\, 3:53 min\, 2019\nTransitional < body > Witch Warrior ()==[:::::::::::::> collaboration between trans dj / artist Odete && non-binary queer digital artist sandra araújo. Although\, labels should not matter as they (still) tend to objectify over human complexity\, it brings up to surface the translation / representation of < gender > into social space. This virtual identity #shout(s) out to a sensory and imaginative concept of identification through video game related characters. An empathic form of identity and strong emotional connection with the < avatar > as a set of default actions / assets that translate into tools / text of visual representation. \n \nJia-Rey Chang\, Living Wonderland\, 2:07 min\, 2020\nLiving Wonderland not only metaphorically reveals our lust of craving for freedom but also illustrates the kindness embedded in everyone during this COVID-19 epidemic/quarantine period. No matter it represents the lust or the kindness of every human being\, that Wonderland deep in everyone’s awareness is just like a “living thing” eager to break through the “frame” of any pre(post)-set constraints\, illness\, and boundary to look for hope. However\, we all know that keeping a distance at the time will benefit the entire world. Our inner nature is drastically swinging between the furious thoughts(fears) and the peaceful mind\, just like the heartbeat\, just like this living wonderland. It is a loop of a short 2-minute film piece. The audience might view the piece through their own 3D glasses to have the stereoscopic effect but not necessary and still can enjoy the colorful vision without it. The entire piece is created by the scripts of code as generative art (creative coding). \n \nJazmyn Palermo\, Teenie Hams’ Adventures in Genderland\, 9:54 min\, 2018\nA child leaves the bleak and boring world they know on an adventure to new worlds\, magical creatures\, and newfound identity. \n \nAzalia Primadita Muchransyah\, Concrete Jungle\, 1:00 min\, 2019\nAccompanied by a mix of soundscapes and music\, Concrete Jungle juxtaposes different living creatures with manmade architectures. It is a reimagination of how nature should reclaim its rightful place amidst the busy and deafening city life. \n \nJordan Shaw\, Canadian Abstracts #2\, 7:12 min\, 2020\nCanadian Abstracts #2 is a continuation of the machine learning series I’ve been working on over the last few years. Pretty excited to have been able to get the GAN network to produce higher resolution video. Canadian Abstracts is an exploration of computational creativity focused on the relationships with nature and our environment. Canadian Abstracts uses a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) which is a type of Artificial Intelligence. This algorithm is trained on ~10000 artworks by all members of the Group of Seven. Through the visual exploration of these new Canadian Landscapes\, does our own understanding and view of Canada\, it’s wilderness and our environment match that of the algorithms? Are these A.I. landscapes familiar to you? Could these landscapes really exist? Or might these images only be the dreams of a technological system that is trying to understand our physical world? \nBios of the artists and curator \nAleksandar Radan was born in Offenbach am Main in 1988. He has been studying art at the Hochschule für Gestaltung Offenbach since 2010. His work is concerned with digital media and the fact that we are continually lagging behind. This notion of “lagging behind” may be understood on a metaphorical level.\nHowever\, it also finds direct expression in the artist’s marked interest both in body language that is influenced by technologies and mass-media communications as well as avatars and images in virtual spaces. The stereotypical\, pre-programmed gestures of digital avatars that oscillate between life-like and artificially stiff form a leitmotif in Radan’s work. Improvisational moments augment these gestures\, which are manipulated through game modding. Radan primarily films live action footage in altered computer game surroundings\, which the artist has deliberately altered to serve as his stage sets. By interfering with a game’s software database\, game modding enables one to rewrite the codes for a game’s visual surface textures and sounds\, for example. In turn\, they become artistic materials that can be manipulated. In Radan’s experimental short films\, the programmed meets the improvised\, and the default is confronted with the spontaneous actions of the artist—who is also the player—in a virtual environment.\nRadan’s works have been featured at multiple venues\, including the Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival and the International Short Film Festival in Oberhausen. \nAzalia Muchransyah is a filmmaker\, writer\, and scholar from Indonesia. She is a Ph.D. Candidate in Media Study at University at Buffalo (SUNY)\, funded by the 2017 DIKTI Fulbright Scholarship. In 2019 she became a Humanities\, Arts\, Science\, and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory Scholar at HASTAC\, a Social Impact Fellow at University at Buffalo (SUNY)\, and a Finger Lakes Environmental Film Festival Diversity Scholar at Ithaca College. Her research is on activist media\, specifically for people living with HIV in Indonesian prison settings. Her short films have been officially selected and screened in international festivals and academic conferences. \nJaz is a trans artist working and living in Buffalo\, N.Y. with a focus in stop-motion animation. They graduated with a BFA from Alfred University in 2018. Their work explores gay and trans identity through the vehicle of a campy\, papier-mache\, hot glue disaster. \nJeanette Fantone is an animator from Santa Barbara County\, California. Her work pulls largely from themes of memory\, longing\, and what-ifs. There is an innate presence of honesty and emotional nuance. She is most excited about filmmaking that invokes curiosity and exploration within the process\, with a strong gravitation towards post production processing and digital-analog hybrid techniques. As a budding filmmaker\, Jeanette is patiently nurturing a transportive and mystical artistic voice. \nJia-Rey (Gary) Chang was born in Taiwan. After completing his M.Arch degree in Architecture and Urban Design Department\, UCLA\, under the direction of Neil Denari in 2009\, he came back to his Alma mater\, the Architecture Department in TamKang University\, Taiwan\, researching on interactive and parametric architecture. In 2010\, he established “P&A LAB” (Programming and Architecture LAB: pandalabccc.blogspot.com\, and lately integrated into archgary.com to continue) exploring the new possible relationship between the programming and architecture. Meanwhile\, he also worked in the Architecture Department of the National Taipei University of Technology as an adjunct lecturer. In 2011\, he joined the Hyperbody LAB (hyperbody.nl)\, Department of Architectural Engineering and Technology\, TU Delft\, for his Ph.D. research on Interactive Architecture. Cooperating with choreographers\, visual artists\, composers\, and programmers\, he has been involved in an EU project\, MetaBody (metabody.eu)\, during 2011-2014 to explore the pro-activeness and intra-action relationship between body movement and spatial quality. In early 2018\, he finished his Ph.D. research with the dissertation titles as “HyperCell: A Bio-inspired Design Frameworks for Real-time Interactive Architectures”\, proposing the idea of self-intelligent building components by exploring into the fields of computation\, embodiment\, and biology in design. Meanwhile\, he is also extremely interested in the transdisciplinary topics of interactive architecture\, tangible interactive design/art\, immersive sensory experience\, bio-inspired design\, AI (artificial intelligence)\, creative coding/generative art/visualization\, 3D modeling\, fashion design\, /wearable technology\, and motion tracking technology\, and has conducted numerous related workshops over the years. He is now an assistant professor in the IXD Lab\, Department of Art & Design\, University of Delaware continuing his research philosophy of ‘space as a living being’ as an immersive spatial Interaction Design\, and exploring his artistic trajectory on creating the experimental immersive sensory (audio/visual/VR/AR) space. More info: archgary.com \nJordan Shaw is an artist and creative technologist raised and currently based in Toronto\, Canada. He grew up in Scarborough\, an east-end borough of Toronto. He received his MFA from OCAD University’s Digital Futures program exhibiting his thesis project\, Habitual Instinct\, in 2017 during Vector Festival at InterAccess. Before that\, he completed his undergraduate degrees at Carleton University and Algonquin College\, where his final installation was exhibited at ACM SIGGRAPH. The manifestation of Jordan’s work seeks to visualize the hidden interactions between people and technology\, data collection and these digital systems trying to understand the physical world. These technical systems are not always physically tangible to the human senses. Jordan’s work intends to creatively express the invisibility of modern-day techno-culture into a tangible and concrete experience that exemplifies the connection between participants and digital systems. \nKaris Jones received their BFA from The University of Science and Arts of Oklahoma. Jones is currently an MFA candidate and instructor in drawing and painting at The State University of New York at Buffalo. Jones experiments with the fragility of the human condition. Their work exposes the frail\, unusual essence of the human form that is masked by societal compulsions to disguise the finite\, peculiar nature of humans as a species. Jones attempts to break down homo-sapiens into the most basic and intimate forms. They unapologetically present us as a species in its complete and utter truth. The work translates humanness into its pure essence\, which is temporary\, damaged and inherently feeble. Jones investigates the uncomfortable and odd nature that is human perception. \nRosa Nussbaum is a visual artist based in Philadelphia\, PA. Rosa received her MFA in Studio Art: Transmedia from the University of Texas at Austin in 2018 and her BFA from Wimbledon College of Arts\, London\, UK in 2014. Rosa makes work at the intersection of performance\, video and sculpture Her work explores the place where the body touches the institution\, with particular emphasis on issues of gender and immigration. \nsandra araújo is a < non-binary && genderqueer > digital artist that spent endless hours fighting monsters & strolling through mazes. so\, it only felt natural for < them > 2 evolve through an experimental & explorative process of gaming visual culture & popular gif files. also feeds on social media platforms 2 engage < her > animations into the depths of gender role play & political plots. < they > still plays old school video games. \nLayering forms and modalities\, Serena Lee practice stems from a fascination with polyphony and its radical potential for mapping power\, perception and belonging. She plays with cinema\, voice\, text\, installation\, drawing\, performance\, practising collaboratively and aleatorically.\nRecent projects: Centre Régional d’Art Contemporain Occitanie (Sète)\, Mitchell Art Gallery (Edmonton)\, Scarborough Museum with Aisle 4\, SAW Video/Knot Project Space (Ottawa)\, Cubitt (London)\, S1 Artspace (Sheffield)\, transmediale (Berlin)\, Museum of Contemporary Art (Toronto)\, Whitechapel Gallery (London)\, Vtape (Toronto)\, Images Festival (Toronto)\, FADO Performance / The Theatre Centre (Toronto)\, Mountain Standard Time (Calgary).  Serena is currently based between Vienna and Tkaronto/Toronto. \nTabia Lewis is a Black\, trans writer\, curator\, and DJ living in Charlotte\, North Carolina. They hold a BA in English from East Carolina University with a minor in creative writing. During their time at ECU they found their passion for curating while working in Joyner Library’s Special Collections. Their work is aligned with Black\, radical imagination\, the ordinary as extraordinary\, and transness beyond physical matter. Outside of writing and music\, they also use collage\, zines\, and homemaking as mediums/platforms for their work.\nCurrently\, they are working on a project that investigates Black existentialism and its ties to social justice. In the future\, they hope to work on projects that explore their relationship to ghosts as a Black trans person\, Black\, queer homemaking\, and queer-coded families in cartoons. By 2022 they hope to have completed their memoir. \n\nSqueaky Wheel’s Animation Fest is sponsored by Villa Maria College’s Animation program. Villa Maria College’s Animation Program teaches the fundamentals of animation and fine art\, and builds from there. The small classes are instructed by our renowned faculty\, and allow students to get a personalized\, hands-on education. \nBanner image: Serena Lee\, Axolotl\, 2007. Image courtesy of the artist.

SUMMARY:Johann Diedrick's Prelude to Wake
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, September 4\, 2020\, 7 pm ET\nFree and suggested donation\nUpon registration\, you will receive an email with information on how to view the event. If you encounter any issues\, please send us a text message at 716-427-4125.\nClick here to register \nJohann Diedrick’s Prelude to Wake is a ~20 minute\, urgent\, mournful\, and world-building sonic performance that centers the loss of ourselves and environments due to climate change. The work is performed by a fictional character named “The Sound Collector” who collects buried vibrations and releases them from material through an ancient technological device. Combining field recordings\, original music composition\, and generative audio techniques\, Prelude to Wake stages an encounter between the audience\, a past that we are losing due to catastrophe\, and what may exist in the future. \nThis digital\, online performance is transmitted digitally from Tortoise Town in Brooklyn\, NY. The artist’s original proposal – titled Wake – was a site-specific\, in-person performance at Silo City’s Marina A\, set as an encounter between the Sound Collector and the histories and ecology of the Buffalo River. Due to the pandemic\, his in-person performance in Buffalo is tentatively rescheduled for late Spring 2021. \nAudiences will be able to participate in a Q&A with the artist through Google Docs at 7:30 pm ET. \nJohann Diedrick is a Caribbean-American artist who makes installations\, performances\, and sculptures that allow you to explore the world through your ears. He surfaces vibratory histories of past interactions inscribed in material and embedded in space\, peeling back sonic layers to reveal hidden memories and untold stories. He shares his tools and techniques through listening tours\, workshops\, and open-source hardware/software. He was a Spring 2020 technology artist-in-residence at Pioneer Works and a recipient of a 2020 Brooklyn Arts Fund grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council. Along with receiving an Asian Cultural Council grant\, his work has been featured in Wire Magazine\, Musicworks Magazine\, and presented at MoMA PS1 (in collaboration with Jonathan González)\, Somerset House (London\, UK)\, Social Kitchen (Kyoto\, Japan)\, Common Ground (Berlin\, Germany)\, Recess (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Knockdown Center (Queens\, NY)\, and Pioneer Works (Brooklyn\, NY). \nWorkspace Residency is supported by generous support by the County of Erie and County Executive Mark Poloncarz\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts\, and individual members\, businesses\, and supporters. Special thanks to Scribe Video Center.

SUMMARY:Distributed Technology for Digital Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, August 26\, 2020\, 7 pm ET\nFree or suggested donation.\nThis is an online event. Upon registration\, you will receive an email with information on how to participate in the workshop. Attendance is limited. If the event reaches capacity\, you can sign up for the waitlist and be notified if there are any openings.\nRegister here. \nHow do distributed technologies\, peer-to-peer\, and blockchain-based currencies provide corrective measures to ailing economic and political systems? To what extent do these new technologies re-inforce the same power dynamics and abuses as our current systems? \nIn this skill-share\, Eric Barry Drasin will introduce projects that use decentralized technologies to affect progressive social change. Drasin will discuss projects such as Bailbloc\, which mines cryptocurrency to pay for bail funds; CirclesUBI\, which attempts to create a mutual credit solidarity economy; and discuss how blockchain technology has exacerbated the economic and political conditions it was supposed to disrupt. \nAfter his introduction\, audiences will be randomly set in two Zoom breakout rooms to discuss the potential of such technology. Upon the end of the discussion\, Drasin will lead a participatory demonstration of quadratic voting through Google Sheets. Audiences are welcome to participate or simply attend. \nThis skill-share is open to all interested in blockchain as a collaborative tool. Want to learn more about blockchain before the skill-share? Click here for an introductory lecture by the artist. \nThe workshop will be held over Zoom and utilize Google Sheets\, which requires a Google account. If you are encountering any issues accessing the event\, please send us a text message at 716-427-4125. \nEric Barry Drasin is a research-based artist exploring the relationship between art and systems of value. Through emerging blockchain technologies\, his current research explores “distributed” processes\, objects\, and organizations that problematize and reprogram fundamental assumptions about how value is constructed and disseminated. Using contracts and legal frameworks as a platform for enacting collectivity\, his work injects cooperation and utopian absurdity into systems designed to consolidate power. The notion of the art object is rematerialized in digital space and expanded to engage notions of cultural production and collective agency. Value is thus performed as a form of disruption\, and capitalism itself is the terrain for the refiguration of the economic landscape. \nSqueaky Wheel’s Workspace Residency is a bi-yearly residency open to artists and researchers working in art and technology. The program is supported by generous support by the County of Erie and County Executive Mark Poloncarz\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and the New York State Legislature\, the Andy Warhol Foundation for Visual Arts\, and individual members\, businesses\, and supporters. For more information about the program\, click here.

SUMMARY:Meet our Residents: Emily Watlington\, Eric Drasin\, Jenson Leonard\, Johann Diedrick
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, August 22\, 2020\, 7 pm ET\nFree or suggested donation. Registration required.\nThis is an online event. Upon registration\, you will receive an email with information on how to view the event. Automatic captioning will be provided. \nRegister here \nJoin Squeaky Wheel for a chance to meet our Summer 2020 Workspace Residents and learn more about their past and ongoing projects in this evening of artist talks. \nDuring their residency\, Emily Watlington will be working on a chapter for a book on accessibility as an artistic medium\, focusing on artistic uses of closed captioning. Eric Barry Drasin will be researching digital art cooperatives vis a vis distributed technologies\, online communities spaces\, experimental finance\, and alternative forms of governance. Jenson Leonard will be filming and editing Workflow\, an installation centered around the velocity and momentum of blackness (historically and as imagined online) as it relates to the philosophical concept of acceleration-the idea that the only way out of capitalism is through its intensification. Johann Diedrick will be composing music for Wake\, an hour-long sonic performance relating to the local ecology in and around Silo City and its connection to the Buffalo River\, and that offers a moment to mourn over the loss of our environment\, our world\, and ourselves. The Summer 2020 residency was juried by Ekrem Serdar\, Martina LaVallo\, and Liz Park. Biographies of the residents and juries can be found below. \nA brief presentation before the artist talk will update you on how you can take part in the Workspace Residency with the upcoming application period in September. \nThis event will be streamed live on Youtube with automated captioning. Audiences will be able to ask questions through Youtube’s live-chat function. \nEmily Watlington is assistant editor at Art in America. She writes about contemporary art—primarily video—often through the lenses of feminism and disability justice. A Fulbright scholar with a master’s degree from MIT in the history\, theory\, and criticism of architecture and art\, she has held curatorial positions at the MIT List Visual Arts Center and MassArt’s Bakalar and Paine Galleries (now the MassArt Art Museum). Her writing has appeared in publications such as Artforum\, Mousse\, and Frieze\, and she has contributed to numerous books and exhibition catalogues\, including Before Projection: Video Sculpture 1974–1995 (2018)\, An Inventory of Shimmers: Objects of Intimacy in Contemporary Art (2017)\, and Independent Female Filmmakers (Routledge\, 2018). \nEric Barry Drasin is a research-based artist exploring the relationship between art and systems of value. Through emerging blockchain technologies\, his current research explores “distributed” processes\, objects\, and organizations that problematize and reprogram fundamental assumptions about how value is constructed and disseminated.

The notion of the art object is rematerialized in digital space and expanded to engage notions of cultural production and collective agency. Value is thus performed as a form of disruption\, and capitalism itself is the terrain for the refiguration of the economic landscape. \nJenson Leonard\nMy practice involves the intersection of poetry\, conceptual art\, and internet memes. Not unlike the earliest forms of oral poetry\, memes transmit our cultural memory. I scour the web for these preserves…the copies and reproductions of our collective digital id\, dragging and dropping(sculpting) my findings into the Adobe Suite to create a bricolage of text and image that call into question notions of identity and empire. I chart an internet psychogeography that questions the sensorial exhaustiveness of audiovisual capitalism–An art that\, in the framework of predictive algorithms and data extractions attempts intervention within the infrastructure of social media. \nJohann Diedrick is a Caribbean-American artist who makes installations\, performances\, and sculptures that allow you to explore the world through your ears. He surfaces vibratory histories of past interactions inscribed in material and embedded in space\, peeling back sonic layers to reveal hidden memories and untold stories. He shares his tools and techniques through listening tours\, workshops\, and open-source hardware/software. He is currently a Spring 2020 technology artist-in-residence at Pioneer Works and a recipient of a 2020 Brooklyn Arts Fund grant from the Brooklyn Arts Council. Along with receiving an Asian Cultural Council grant\, his work has been featured in Wire Magazine\, Musicworks Magazine\, and presented at MoMA PS1 (in collaboration with Jonathan González)\, Somerset House (London\, UK)\, Social Kitchen (Kyoto\, Japan)\, Common Ground (Berlin\, Germany)\, Recess (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Knockdown Center (Queens\, NY)\, and Pioneer Works (Brooklyn\, NY). \nWorkspace Residency is supported by generous support by the County of Erie and County Executive Mark Poloncarz\, the National Endowment for the Arts\, New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Andrew M.

SUMMARY:Sindhu Thirumalaisamy’s The Lake and The Lake
DESCRIPTION:Online Screening | Friday\, April 24\, 7 pm\nFree or suggested donation. Registration required.\nClick here to register \nClick here to view the post-screening Google Docs Q&A with Sindhu Thirumalaisamy \nSindhu Thirumalaisamy’s 2019 film ಕೆರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕೆರೆ (The Lake and The Lake)  dwells in the peripheries of a polluted lake in Bangalore\, “India’s Silicon Valley”\, where the act of observation is interrupted by flying foam\, noxious gases\, daydreams\, and questions from passers-by. Despite its spectacular toxicity\, the lake remains a valuable resource and refuge for counter-publics. The Lake and The Lake will be preceded by Thirumalaisamy’s short film Different Colourful Designs (2016) on state-sponsored murals in Bangalore. We are excited to host filmmaker Sindhu Thirumalaisamy\, who will be present for an introduction and Q&A. \nDifferent Colourful Designs\, 15 mins\, SD video\, 2011–2016\nDescribed as “a beautification exercise”\, the Bangalore Beautification Project is a city-sponsored effort to prevent posters and advertisements from being pasted on public walls. In 2009 the Bangalore Bruhat Mahanagra Palike (BBMP) hired sign-painters to produce a number of prescribed murals on public walls across the city. Familiar symbols of myths\, heroes and nature—cursory tales of national identity and pride—were chosen to greet Bangalore’s residents and guests. But there are several gaps between instruction and realization in this beautification exercise. The resulting images complicate the official narratives that they try to portray. Fantastical images\, fearful images\, duplicitous images\, and incomplete images all stand together in trying to keep the walls clean. Different Colourful Designs takes a closer look at these images and the city that etches over them. Footage was shot over several years\, adding to the film over the years\, observing the decay of these murals. It was completed at a time when the BBMP voiced intent to repaint the walls in the spirit of Swachh Bharat. \nಕೆರೆ ಮತ್ತು ಕೆರೆ (The Lake and The Lake)
\, 38 mins\, HD video\, India/USA\, 2019\nThe Lake and The Lake dwells in the peripheries of a polluted lake in Bangalore\, “India’s Silicon Valley”\, where the act of observation is interrupted by flying foam\, noxious gases\, daydreams\, and questions from passers-by. Despite its spectacular toxicity\, the lake remains a valuable resource and refuge for counter-publics. Standing alongside fishing communities\, migrant waste workers\, private security guards\, street dogs\, and children\, it is evident that there is no nature that doesn’t also include all of us. Hindi\, Tamil\, Kannada\, English\, and Bangla\, are spoken and sung in the film amidst a chorus of non-human sounds. \nBiography\nSindhu Thirumalaisamy is an artist working across video\, sound\, text\, and installation. Sindhu holds an MFA in visual art from the University of California\, San Diego\, is a participant of the Whitney Independent Study program\, an almunus of the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture\, the Robert Flaherty Film Seminar\, and the SOMA Summer program. Sindhu’s work has been exhibited at The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego\, San Diego Museum of Art\, Current:LA Public Art Triennial\, Montreal International Documentary Festival (RIDM)\, Artists’ Television Access\, Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival\, Edinburgh Festival of Art\, Flux Factory\, Kunsthaus Langenthal\, Khoj International Artists’ Association\, International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala\, and Dharamshala International Film Festival. \nImage: Sindhu Thirumalaisamy\, The Lake and The Lake (2019).

SUMMARY:Meet the Residents: Caleb Abrams & Saif Alsaegh
DESCRIPTION:Online artist talk & screening | *NEW DATE* Wednesday\, April 8\, 7 pm\nFree or suggested donation\nClick here to get your ticket\nYou will receive an email with information and a link on how to view the live event. The artists films will be available to view through April 15\, 2020\, 6:59 pm.\n \nClick here to view the video presentations by the artists with an introduction by the curator \nClick here to view the post-event Google Docs Q&A with the artists \nIn response to COVID-19\, our Spring artists in residence\, Caleb Abrams and Saif Alsaegh\, have continued their residencies from home and will engage with the public virtually. We invite you to convene online to learn about their past and ongoing projects at this artist talk and screening. Caleb Abrams will speak about his current film\, The Burning of My Coldspring Home\, an adaptation of a short story by Seneca Elder Stephen Gordon regarding the forced dislocation of the Seneca people following the building of the Kinzua dam by the Allegheny River. Saif Alsaegh will speak of his film Departure\, titled after a poem by Arthur Rimbaud\, which examines the idea of foreignness as it relates to the filmmaker’s past as a Baghdad born filmmaker living in California. Preceding the event will be a brief presentation by Squeaky Wheel curator\, Ekrem Serdar on how you can be part of the Workspace Residency program in the future. \nCaleb G. Abrams is an Onöndowa’ga:’ (Seneca) filmmaker and multimedia artist based out of what is currently considered Buffalo\, New York. Raised on the Seneca’s Allegany Territory\, much of his work emerges from the social\, historical\, and cultural background of the Seneca. Abrams has written and produced multiple independent short films and videos for the Seneca Nation\, Seneca-Iroquois National Museum/Onöhsagwë:dé Cultural Center\, and Odawi Law PLLC. He has also produced work in collaboration with PBS-WNED-TV\, Vision Maker Media\, Skipping Stone Pictures\, and Toward Castle Films. Lake of Betrayal (2017)\, the award-winning national public television documentary on which Abrams served as the associate producer\, examines the impact of the Kinzua Dam on the Seneca Nation – a topic much of his work has explored. Abrams’ films have been presented at universities\, historical societies\, libraries\, museums\, high schools\, and community and cultural resource organizations throughout Haudenosaunee Territory and the Northeast. \nSaif Alsaegh is a United States-based filmmaker from Baghdad. Much of Saif’s work deals with the contrast between the landscape of his youth in Baghdad growing up as part of the Chaldean minority in the nineties and early 2000s\, and the U.S. landscape where he currently lives. His films have screened in many festivals including Cinema du Reel\, Kruzfilm Festival Hamburg\, Kasseler Dokfest\, Onion City Film Festival and in galleries and museums including the Wisconsin Triennial at MMoCA. He earned his MFA in filmmaking at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. \nThe residency is made possible with the support of the National Endowment for the Arts and presented in collaboration with Just Buffalo Literary Art Center and the sponsorship of Hostel Buffalo-Niagara.

SUMMARY:Miko Revereza’s No Data Plan
DESCRIPTION:Online Screening | Wednesday\, March 25\, 7 pm\nLive Q&A at 8:30 pm.\nFree or suggested donation. Click here to get tickets.\nA private link will be sent to your email account upon registration.\n \nClick here to view the introduction to the film by curator Ekrem Serdar and Justice for Migrant Families’ Anna Porter \nClick here to view the post-screening Google Docs Q&A with Miko Revereza \nMiko Revereza’s acclaimed feature documentary No Data Plan features a narrator rehashing details about his mother’s affair as he crosses America by train. “Mama has two phone numbers. We do not talk about immigration on her Obama phone. For that we use the other number with no data plan.” Taking place entirely within a three day trip upon a train—including a tense stop near Buffalo—Revereza’s film evokes images and thoughts from far away\, illustrating an undocumented subjectivity\, a site of precarious movement\, migration\, and fugitivism in the United States. \nThis screening is co-presented with Justice for Migrant Families. JFMF is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit agency that promotes justice for migrant families by providing support to individuals in the federal detention facility in Batavia\, information and resources to families in the community\, and advocacy both within and beyond the local community.\nJFMF is currently seeking donations to allow detainees in the Batavia Detention Center to make phone calls to their loved ones as all visitations have been cancelled due to COVID-19. Find out about JFMF current activities on their Facebook page and donate to them here. \nBiography of the filmmaker\nMiko Revereza (b.1988 Manila\, Philippines) is an experimental filmmaker and undocumented immigrant. Since relocating from Manila as a child\, he has lived illegally in the United States for over 25 years. This life long struggle with documentation\, assimilation and statelessness informs his films\, DROGA! (2014)\, DISINTEGRATION 93-96 (2017) and his debut feature\, No data plan (2018). Miko’s films have been widely screened and exhibited internationally at festivals such as\, International Film Festival Rotterdam\, Yamagata International Documentary Film Festival\, International Short Film Festival Oberhausen\, True/False Film Festival\, Images Festival\, and Berwick Film & Media Arts Festival.
