Opening Reception, Social Reportage: The Sign Project
2017-05-25 18:00 - 21:00 | St. Joseph's House of Hospitality, 402 South Ave., Rochester, New York, 14620, United States
St. Joseph's House of Hospitality will host an Opening Reception for Social Reportage: The Sign Project, on display through June 30, featuring works by Norman Strothers, Kelly Mullaney, Tim Chaddock, Ed Stone, Kristy Bianchi, Julie Oldfield, and Arleen Thaler.
Session IV of the Social Reportage class at Flower City Arts Center found students immersed in the lives of those who call the streets home and those living in poverty that we might otherwise overlook. The Sign Project came about when a homeless man, Jon who lives in a tent in Rochester, New York, shared a link from rethinkhomeless.com with photojournalist, Arleen Thaler asking if she could do something like that here. Rethink Homelessness, a coalition located in Florida, asked their homeless friends to write down a fact about themselves that other people wouldn't know just by walking past them. The Sign Project is a result of a partnership that grew between Arleen's students and the men and women who shared a little piece of themselves with us. Using cardboard they dispelled some of the myths surrounding homelessness. Their answers may offer a glimpse you might otherwise be unaware of.

[Noo Phone in the Black Space]: or How to Avoid Roaming Charges (2017-May-25 @ 7 p.m.)
2017-05-25 19:00 - 21:00 | Silo City, 120 Childs St., Buffalo, New York, 14203, United States
Squeaky 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. Can 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. Interpreting 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.

The Dryden will screen War and Peace (King Vidor, U.S. / Italy 1956, 208 min., 35mm) as part of the Period Dramas series.
This elegant Hollywood production was the first English-language version of Leo Tolstoy's Russian epic. The film, notably condensed from Tolstoy's tome, concerns two intertwined aristocratic Russian families during the era of Napoleon's ill-fated 1812 invasion, starring screen greats Henry Fonda as the intellectual Pierre Bezukhov and Audrey Hepburn as the eminent object of desire Natasha Rostova. Veteran director King Vidor's penultimate feature uses remarkably lavish footage of the Italian countryside as a substitute for the story's war-ravaged Russia.

Å»uÅ‚awski's final film, a literary adaptation suffused with his trademark freneticism, transforms Polish writer Witold Gombrowicz's novel into an ominous and manic exploration of desire. Witold, who has just failed the bar, and his companion Fuchs, who has recently quit his fashion job, are staying at a guesthouse run by the intermittently paralytic Madame Woytis. Witold's reality mutates into a whirlwind of tension, histrionics, foreboding omens, and surrealistic logic as he becomes obsessed with Madame Woytis's daughter Lena, newly married to Lucien.
