Arts in Bushwick is pleased to present the second annual Seeking Space exhibition! This show seeks to give a platform to artists from Bushwick and beyond who may not have been able to exhibit in their own studios, bringing together a diverse set of works in an alternative space. Last year, the show featured over 30 artists, and included paintings, sculptures, and even sound art. This year’s show will include photography, video art, paintings, and much more.

The exhibition will be located in the central area of the Loom, a creative multi-use complex located in the center of the BOS festival. The show will be open to the public Saturday June 4th & Sunday June 5th, 12pm-7pm, as well as daily for the two weeks following.

Along with the diverse range of artwork on display, we will have refreshments and conversations! The Loom is located at the heart of the BOS festival, so Seeking Space will be on your way as you move from one map area to another.

PEEPSHOW 2011: It’s Complicated is the fourth edition of Squeaky Wheel’s high-energy fundraising art party and extravaganza, to be held at the DNIPRO Ukrainian Center on Saturday, February 26th, 2011. The event boasts a wide array of entertainment, from curated artist installations, videos, and performances to a fancy art auction and the opportunity for everyone to participate in an evening-long performance of fun while tackling a dense equation of questions, parameters, and answers that yield a deafening blank stare when TMI (Too Much Information!!!) has been revealed. Whether it’s the way that slick-looking minimalist masterpiece runs from a tangled, incomprehensible mess of hidden wires or the reason your lover won’t let you hold their hand in public, we understand – IT’S COMPLICATED!

Artists of all kinds (media, installation, sculpture, performance) were invited to interpret this year’s theme – an often-apologetic preface when entering hearty deliberations about world politics, globalization or economic policies; a notorious description for defending the inherently complex dynamics of personal relationships, gender, or sexuality; and sometimes the dreaded top notch of a difficulty rating system for various “how-to’s” in the realm of vegan cooking, furniture assembly, or home-improvement. *** Stay tuned for the complete list of over 30 artists and performers that will take over all three floors of the beautiful DNIPRO Ukrainian Center. There will be live music, burlesque troupes, belly dancing and so much more - We can't wait to share what we have in store for you! ***
And don't forget to bring cash with you to purchase drink tickets throughout the night!

WHERE IS THE DNIPRO?
The DNIPRO Ukrainian Center is located on the East Side of Buffalo, more specifically, at 562 Genesee Street, Buffalo, NY 14204. Please take a gander at the Google Map, which conveniently has a picture that features the signature green doors of this venue. Speaking of convenience, there is also a parking lot next to this building where you can saddle up your gas-or-hybrid horse!

TICKET INFORMATION
Tickets will be available starting February 1st at the following locations: Cafe Taza, Sweetness 7, Talking Leaves, and online at www.squeaky.org. Tickets are $15 in advance / $20 ($15 for students with a valid ID) at the door, 18+. Save money by purchasing presale tickets online for $15 each! Click here to purchase your Peepshow tickets online now

TRAVELING FROM OUT OF TOWN?

Book your room today by calling 716.855.223 and ask for the PEEPSHOW Block!

WHAT IF I AM TOO EXCITED TO EAT DINNER BEFORE THE SHOW?
No worries! The DNIPRO will offer a variety of Ukrainian foods and bar foods available for purchase. After 10pm, there will be an extra special trip fromLLOYD’S TACO TRUCK, (http://whereslloyd.com), the first and ONLY taco truck in Buffalo, NY. Who says you can’t have perogies and burritos all in the same night?!!?

******************

PARTICIPATING ARTISTS:

Roving Performances

Tabula Emphaticus / Caitlin Cass
Tabula Emphaticus or The Artist Finds an Excuse to Talk to People She Normally Wouldn’t Talk to About Things We Normally Do Not Talk About. In a world festering with apathy the artist has taken it upon her self to bring back the passion by engaging people in sophistic conversations. She will be carrying a cigarette tray filled with sweeping philosophical ideas and common household objects in which to ground the dialogue. www.caitlincass.com

The Rambling Dance Hall Cartel / Real Dream Cabaret + Swing Buffalo
The world’s first fully moveable, scalable, sustainable, Portable Speakeasy! Stay one step ahead of rival gangsters and those pesky coppers while enjoying classic torch songs and swing dancing in various covert corners of DNIPRO. If you feel like life is just too “speakcomplicated,” the Portable Speakeasy is the perfect solution! http://realdreamcabaret.blogspot.com/ http://www.swingbuffalo.com/

mommydaddybaby : TheConfoundingVariable" / Marc Tomko, Kyle Butler, Alice Alexandrescu
Expert performance trio 'mommydaddybaby' escorts a mobile kiosk of research/intervention instruments on a scheduled route of venue locales. They will elicit measured responses from party subjects through strategic experimental acts. 'mommydaddybaby' will be the 'confounding variable' in your party experience.

Installations

Musicox / Brian Larson Clark
Musicox is an auto-playing musical instrument consisting of 12 vibrating dildos, water-ﬁlled wine glasses, and a microcontroller. The instrument generates a number of music box melodies by systematically switching on and off different vibrators. Website: bclark.info

Kokua: Hospitality / Mark Hursty & Victoria Bradbury
Kokua: Hospitality is a projection installation by Mark Hursty and Victoria Bradbury. Two inflatable forms nest, one bulbous, the other a pouch. Swirls of light agitate the projected belly of the smaller sculpture.

Interflections / John Bono
An installation constructed to make the participant experience and reflect upon the nature of individual introspection and one-on-one interaction. Designed to attract and draw the viewer in, it responds differently depending on whether it is approached alone or together, thus provoking reflection on subjectivity and otherness. http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~jfbono/

Relational Aesthetics are Impressions Upon Oneself / Josh Parkins
A lush visualization of relationships portrayed as a tangled mass of fractured thoughts and identities, tenuously crafted into a fragile whole. The fragility is apparent by how the performer becomes a complicated mess of impressions from their environment. The performers own form is lost in the audience through projection and subsequent reflection www.joshparkins.com

MALFUNCTION / John J. Fink
3 channel video installation: interconnected scenes domestic scenes of looking, reacting and gazing create a sense of intimacy. Exploring the nature of the gaze and the weight of an individual shot in a narrative, moments in three monitors are juxtaposed against one another creating a sense of a malfunction of film language conventions, a nod to Eisenstein's experiments with dialectic montage. www.johnfinkfilms.com

Onion / Nalani Latrish Williams
Onion is the dream that never ends. Images, and videos are combined and layered to create a psychologically charged nonsensical dream. http://nlw-arts.com

Beyond the Multitude: Sewer Study #2 / Jordan Dalton/Katy Brown
Sewer Study #2 is the latest in a series of projects exploring the latent ecologies hidden in Buffalo's water infrastructure. A sort of Rube Goldberg machine for sewage, the piece is a site-specific installation simulating the city's combined sewage system, from toilet, to aging pipes, to treatment plant and river.http://jordandalton.com http://scajaquada.org

Liminal Processes: The Living Utterances of Speaking Applications / Eric Souther
Can a machine, a computer, create a living utterance? A talking machine is required to follow a strict set of linguistic rules that govern the English language and if followed creates human-sounding speech. This assumes that what is programmed is, of course, a rational set of commands, a sentence, or a specific word. Does this strict assignment of meaning, that has to exist as computer code for the machine to speak, make the words that are spoken “fixed realities with consistent referents?” Is the computer then a fundamentalist of language? Or can these utterances have life, or at least live in the “poetic thinking” of the viewer? unseensignals.com

The Censor-O-Matic 9000 / Jeff Maciejewski
"The Censor-O-Matic 9000 is the most latest and greatest censoring machine to hit the market. Already receiving praise from tyrannical governments and oppressive corporations, this machine takes valuable information fed into it and produces new politically correct information. Maybe your family is smiling a little too much in your favorite photo? The Censor-O-Matic 9000 can fix that! Do your friends' un-hip looks held in your prized scrapbook pictures embarrass you? The Censor-O-Matic 9000 can fix that! Hate that Wedding portrait? The Censor-O-Matic 9000 can fix that too! The Censor-O-Matic 9000 will be making it's first ever public appearance ever to civilians & citizens at the 2011 Squeaky Wheel Peep Show. Don't forget your checkbook. Afterall, you might actually need this."

iSwap: we put the eye in team / Timothy Scaffidi, Alice Alexandrescu, Marc Tomko
Building a successful team requires strong individual personalities working together to get results. With iSwap, “we put the eye in team”. Using cutting-edge practices and state-of-the-art technology we've re-engineered the team-building experience to give your company the competitive advantage. As the participants accomplish tasks, their eyesight will be periodically swapped: participant A will see from participant B's perspective, and participant B will see from participant A's perspective, forcing teammates into a cooperative, outside-the-box, problem solving mindset.

Furrowed Brow / Aaron Oldenburg
This is a game that simulates creases in the player's forehead that move from side to side with the tilt of his or her head. It uses an Arduino board, LCD screen and accelerometer attached to a wig. The game is simple: the furrow is represented by a jagged line made of ASCII characters. The player is either trying to catch or avoid the "o" that drops from the top of the screen. When the "o" hits a crease, that part of the crease disappears until there are none left. It can be played solo, in the mirror, or with a second player. There is another game with two furrows. It is casual in the sense that you can play it while brushing your hair. The creases again move in the direction that the player's head tilts. Avoid letting them touch the edges of the screen.http://aaronoldenburg.net

Registering Our Exasperation / Keir Neuringer
Registering Our Exasperation is a cross-perceptual installation created in The Hague in 2006 by musician and interdisciplinary artist Keir Neuringer. The multi-screen, multi-speaker work takes as its point of departure the pauses in the speech of the hosts and guests of independent news program Democracy Now!, adding to it a list of "things you cannot see" -- words and phrases that might exasperate a person of conscience navigating the madness of industrialized civilization. http://keirneuringer.com

Bedroom Eyes / Susanne Stefanski + Kyle Butler + Alicia Paolucci
Bedroom Eyes is an installation that uses the potential for awkwardness, embarrassment, or gratification in subtle hints or flirting as the motivation for designing a landscape about the space between come-on and brush off.

Hollywood Slaughter / Torn Space + Lukia Costello
Originally conceived as an advertisement shoot for an absent product, the photo shoot was structured around Dan’s stage direction and story structure, and interpreted through Lukia’s photography. The task was for Dan and Lukia to each edit down the number of photos to capture a narrative made through individual choices of sequencing and effect. The results are two narratives occupying parallel’s universes. This is collaboration between Torn Space Theater (Dan Shanahan, Melissa Meola, Tim Stegner, Kara McKenney, Justin Rowland) and Lukia Costello, with audio contribution by Scott Valkwitch.

The Love Tendrils / Joel Resnikoff
The Love Tendrils are 50-foot-long kinetic sculptures crafted from flexible tubes containing intelligent lights, sequenced to move with the rhythm of the music. They are playful objects that can be handled, tugged or wrapped around the dancers/participants.

The Slumber Party / Tom Holt & Chelsea Wagner
A slumber party housed inside a blanket fort exploits the saucy potential of slumber parties. Party-goers are invited to play games such as Pixxxionary, Spin The Bottle and Twister. In true slumber party fashion, attendees can paint their nails or their friends’ nails - and if nail painting isn’t their thing, they can be treated to some body painting by the slumber party hosts. Naughty baked goods, lollipops and pillows for pillow fights will also be provided!

PROJEX / Keith Harrington
Interactive audio-visual mixologist utilizing a hybrid DJ arrangement.

Polaroid Pictures with Nancy Parisi

Mood Pets / Steven Ansell & Tammy McGovern
Guests are invited to touch and stroke these furry interactive sculptures, reminiscent of small stuffed animals and valentine hearts. In return, the Mood Pets vocalize the pleasures of touch by emitting bleeping sounds and blinking lights.

Video Screening

“Immortal Beloved” by Dax Norman
"Immortal Beloved" is a complicated experimental animation, which makes extensive use of figure/ground reversal to tell multiple narratives simultaneously. Different stories are interwoven seamlessly until they become one. Musical Score by Neil Anderson-Himmelspach. spachmusic.com. /www.daxnorman.com

Sacré Bleu / Anna Scime
Narrative potential quickly becomes music in sacré bleu. It's holy constipation instead of catharsis – a pairing of the crass with the sublime, nature with god, the awkward with the seductive and so on. Produced here at Dnipro in conjunction with Richard Foreman and Sophie Haviland's Buffalo Bridge Project, and starring Diane Gaidry, Neil Garvey and Linda Stein. (05:00)

Himen Productions presents The Wild Cherry / Brittany Debole
The Wild Cherry serves as a metaphor for sexual identity/ sexual experiences; This film uses fruit to explore the complex relationships of first base, second base, third base moving towards the climax - the end. Society tells women losing their virginity should be special, that you should be old enough and that you should be in love - but it never happens like that. This is one woman's story.

The Happiest Day, the Happiest Hour / Gratuitous Art Films
The happiest day - the happiest hour, My sear'd and blighted heart hath known, The highest hope of pride and power, I feel hath flown. (text by Edgar Allan Poe) (02:44) http://gratuitousart.com

Eulogy of an Assasin / Stephen Ausherman
A story of love and insecticide. This is an extended version of the one now showing at wholphindvd.com. (03:29) http://www.restlesstribes.com/

Yes - No / Rajesh Ghosh

Three Minutes of Headless Life
Three Minutes of Headless Life, Stop Motion Animation on 16mm Film. (02:25). http://taranajdahmadi.com/

Jody Lafond

Videos on looping monitors:

Labyrinth / Vincent Ducarne
Live Labyrinth with a classic snake and mouse chase. (02:30) http://vincentducarne.com

Deluge / John Knecht

Looping Video Projections:

Confined 10-01-2 / Russell J. Chartier & Paul J. Botelho
Explores the sense of confinement of life in a large city. The piece, created using manipulated footage shot throughout NYC, consists of textures comprised of feedback loops uplinked to satellites then down-linked back to Earth. These “feedback loops” were manipulated with various pieces of broadcast equipment through the looping process and were then further manipulated in the postproduction process. The textures and manipulated footage were then woven together to create this work. paulbotelho.com

OCUSONIC: Sound & Vision
Real-time generations of synchronous audio & visual materials recorded as visual music. vimeo.com/ocusonic

DOWNSTAIRS BAR:

ART AUCTION: ________________________

Yes Yes & Heaven Tongue
10:00pm Starry eyed, old-time gospel soul music with an all-star cast of Buffalo improvisers and musicians: Mike Ersing (guitar/vocals), Ed Klavoon (Upright Bass), Bill Conroy (percussion), Katie Ashwill (Cello), Jane Roberts (vocals), Pat Cain (plastic bag/vocals), and more!

PERFORMANCES IN THE LIBRARY ROOM, Between Video Screenings:

Reactionary Ensemble
8:30pm & 12:30pm Reactionary Ensemble is a roving circuit of improvisational artists and musicians looking to merge sound and vision into an immersive, multidimensional experience. Fluid in nature, these sensory-based performances unleash streams of transitory sounds and visual images to stimulate a hypnotic, primordial, trance-like state of spontaneous free association. http://reactionaryensemble.blogspot.com/

No Input System / Live Video/Sound Performance by Morgan Higby-Flowers
9:30pm & 11:30pm No-input system performance that generates video and sound simultaneously. This system consists of audio and video equipment patched in such a way that it creates its own imagery and sound, thereby acting as an entity the artist collaborates with. Morgan recently performed this as part of the first annual glitch conference in Chicago this past October ( http://gli.tc/h).

Poverty Hymns & The Lamp Orchestra / T. Andrew Trump
10:30pm Building warm layers of guitar & sampled sounds Poverty Hymns creates something between out folk and minimal electronic music. Comfort music for the modern weirdo that borrows from jazz, americana and ambient thought patterns. In turn, these sounds are reciprocated by a collection of 9 dated household lamps which flicker, pulse, throb - dance to the guitar phrases, cascading in and out of phase. Creating something akin to softly falling down a mountain - in a dream. http://www.reverbnation.com/poverrtyhymns

The Left Hand of Darkness / Charles Quagliana
12:00am (midnight) Krappy Touchstyle 10 and 12 String Guitar/Bass in Solo and Duet performances with WNY Progressive Rock Legend and Gamelon founder Ted Reinhardt on Percussion and Chapman Stick. Drums, Touchstyle looping Progressive Rock, crafty musicianship and innovative compositions.http://www.youtube.com/user/chuckinator13

MAIN STAGE PERFORMANCES

Live Main Stage Video Projections by Chris Svoboda’s Level 4 Activated Lighting Provided by Wasteland Studio

Wooden Waves
Adventurous live music and visuals inspired by underwater space travel, Esther Williams, street surfing, and graffiti. Sounds like: a Technicolor tsunami, or a blend of art-rock aesthetic, the fun side of indie and the kitschy melodies of early electronic music. www.wooden-waves.com

Beta Spaces 2010, Boxed In and Out

noreply@blogger.com (Nalani Latrish Williams) — Tue, 16 Nov 2010 05:45:00 +0000

Boxed In and Out

Address: 449 Troutman St #3-3
Curated By:: Mark Weathers

“Boxed In and Out” featured a wide range of artists displaying their works in small hand painted black boxes. These boxes were originally used to house and transport three small tubes of oil paint, saved from the trash bin they are now primed with a matte black vinyl paint and will serve to frame the diverse works of artists from Bushwick and beyond. The small, intimate space that these artists have been given to work with shares a mirrored sense in the simple artists’ loft venue in which they will be displayed.

Home Sweet ?

Curator: Nalani L Williams

Danielle Rago

Home Sweet? questions the romantic idea of the home by digging through the surface to reveal what lies beneath. This exhibition examines the concept of “Home” in several ways: Home as the hidden relationship one has with their personal space, Home as body with flesh and organs, Home as a psychological space, and the symbolisms of the body as architecture.

BETA Spaces:Update

noreply@blogger.com (Nalani Latrish Williams) — Tue, 05 Oct 2010 04:19:00 +0000

BETA Spaces (Bushwick Exhibition Triangle of Alternative Spaces) is a free one-day festival of conceptualized and thematic group exhibitions. The Festival takes place on November 14,2010. BETA Spaces is confined to a 15-block area bordered by Bushwick Ave, Johnson Ave, and Starr St. Home Sweet? will be exhibited at Better than Jam(1087 Flushing Ave), a retail store that sales handmade clothes and accessories. Depending on the amount of work and size, some of the work will exhibited in the store and some of the work will be exhibited in the common area of 1087 Flushing Ave. The owner of the store, Karin, is allowing me to have the work up for a week. The work in the store will be up for a week while any work in the common area will be up for the duration of the festival, due to safety concerns. Better than Jam shares the common area other businesses such as Knitting café, and a Gourmet Deli. I like to think of it as a mini mall, there will be traffic going through this area.

On October 6, I will be submitting artist’s names to BETA Spaces to complete my registration. I will still be accepting submissions and finalizing the details until October 17^th 2010.

Thanks and take care

Update: Beta Spaces

I am participating in Beta spaces (Bushwick Exhibition Triangle of Alternative Spaces), BETA Spaces is a one-day festival of independently curated, collaborative group exhibitions presented in a range of alternative spaces.

I am curating a show entitled Home Sweet? The exhibition will take place at 1095 Flushing Ave, Better than Jam, an awesome store that sells hand printed and handmade clothes and accessories. I am looking for work that reflects the theme of Home Sweet?

Beta Spaces will take place on November 14 2010. Some of the work will be up in the store for a week.

Home Sweet? Questions the romantic idea of the home by digging through the surface to reveal what lies beneath. This exhibition examines the concept of “Home” in several ways: Home as the hidden relationship one has with their personal space, Home as body with flesh and organs, Home as a psychological space, and the symbolisms of the body as architecture. I am looking for photography, painting, relief sculpture, sculpture*, mixed media, drawings, prints, crafts, non-traditional mediums, and short written works.

submissions and questions can be sent to NLW.arts@gmail.com

To apply, send a description of what you would exhibit along links to images or other work samples.

*************pedestals are not available **************
