BPD Trio plays visceral free improvised music and original compositions rooted in the traditions of American avant-garde jazz with elements of drone, noise, and textural sonic explorations.
Exhibition Opening | Project Space
Experience the work of the 2022 Langley Kenzie Prize winner Taeyoul Ryu in the exhibition Royalty, opening in the Project Space. Ryu’s series Royalty takes the monarch’s crown and pairs it down to its most essential form. Large lamps that stand like single stemmed tulips tower over six feet tall, like pieces in a giant chess game or faceless kings and queens. Works from the series BeReady are also included; their titles allude to a series of fighter jets developed by the United States during the cold war whose purpose was to always be on standby. Learn more about Taeyoul Ryu: Royalty.

Squeaky Wheel is excited to present the annual 19th Animation Fest! Intended for audiences young and old, the annual festival features some of the most exciting voices working in animation today, from Western New York and beyond!
The eleven short films in the 19th Animation Fest feature animation techniques such as rotoscoping, 3D animation, stop-motion, hand-drawn celluloid films, music videos, and documentary works. These unique and personal films address topics and concerns such as gender and sexuality, women in the history of animation, disability, and belonging, the perceptual possibilities of animation, and much more.
Stay tuned for the release of the full program!
