SUMMARY:Buffalo Farmer's Market — Clinton-Bailey Farmer's & Flea Market
DESCRIPTION:The Niagara Frontier Growers Co-operative Market\, Inc. was born in October 1930. The objectives of the co-op were to promote\, foster and encourage the intelligent and orderly marketing of agricultural products between producer and consumer. The co-op was also formed to make the distribution of agricultural products between producer and consumer as direct and efficient possible. \nNiagara Frontier Growers leased the land from the railroad until the 1950’s when it then purchased the land. Over the years \, the Market became known as the Clinton-Bailey Farmers Market and has become a vital link in Western New York’s food distribution. \nOver the years\, many Western New York farmers and growers have brought some of the finest locally grown products to the Market for distribution. Some farmers traveled more than 2 hours to sell their goods at the Market. In the early years of the Market many of the farmers would transport their goods by horse and buggy! \nToday\, the location of the Clinton-Bailey Farmers Market is central within the growing region and central within the “food distribution hub” of the City of Buffalo. Hundreds of thousands of customers pass through the Market each year to purchase fresh locally grown goods direct from the farmer insuring healthy eating and savings to the end consumer. \nThe Market has also become a desired destination for those looking to purchase flowers\, vegetable plants\, herbs\, shrubs and Christmas Trees. Many wholesale buyers include major grocers\, institutions\, neighborhood markets\, restaurants\, caterers\, garden centers and other farm market stands that come to the Market every Tuesday\, Thursday and Saturday morning as early as 4:00 AM. \nCLINTON BAILEY MARKET\n1443 – 1517 Clinton Street\nBuffalo\, NY 14206

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Rachel Shelton\, 'Slow Looking'
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is thrilled to present Slow Looking\, a new body of work by Rachel Shelton that challenges the negativity so often associated with decay\, uncertainty\, and precarity. Featuring a series of monotypes\, etchings\, collagraphs\, and screenprints of rock forms\, the exhibition is on view from May 22 through August 1\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, May 22\, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. \nAll of the rock forms in Slow Looking originate from a single photo of two rocks in a field of glacial deposits that Shelton stumbled upon during a trip to Montana. With adjustments to scale\, orientation\, color\, and surrounding compositions\, the prints invite us to shift between micro and macro perspectives and consider the ecosystems pocketed within a life cycle. Her work documents the passage of time via the life cycle of a rock\, suggests the building blocks of larger structures\, and navigates the network of meaning and connections that form when things fall apart.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Frank Chang\, 'The Mesh'
DESCRIPTION:From the artist: In the studio\, I take on the perspective of an “archaeologist of the present” in order to reflect on the climate crisis. Otherwise\, the stakes feel too high and making art feels futile and insignificant compared to the magnitude of the problem. I collect fragments of climate news\, bureaucratic documents\, and mass media imagery\, looking for linkages that are unexpectedly resonant. I am searching for things under the surface\, inexplicable connections that are strangely well suited to expressing the feeling of the present\, with all its contradictions\, anxieties\, and possibilities. \nThis exhibition combines new and recent climate-related work. The title is inspired by philosopher Timothy Morton’s metaphor of the mesh. Morton uses the mesh to refer to the ecological interconnectedness of all things\, both living and non-living. The mesh\, according to Morton\, allows us to imagine things normally thought to be contradictory. It is both foreground and background\, hard and delicate. It is both too large and infinitesimally small. The mesh is the perfect metaphor for thinking about climate because “[e]ach point of the mesh is both the centre and edge of a system of points\, so there is no absolute centre or edge.”[1] The mesh also perfectly encapsulates my working process\, in which each fragment leads to another; I see what’s in front of me as both the beginning and end of the process. \nHyperbatteries is a series of sculptures that reconfigure the clean and rational aesthetics of various “green” battery technologies as dense assemblages of entangled materials\, histories\, and ideas. I began with the definition of batteries as connected energies\, then followed threads ranging from the German Romanticism of early battery pioneers to Qing Dynasty symbolism and spirituality. Of course\, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy is crucial in helping to mitigate climate change. But batteries are too often depicted as the “solution” to climate change\, with little regard for how they are produced or where their minerals come from. Indeed\, as political scientist Thea Riofrancos points out\, “…the promise of zero emissions sits alongside the reality of fossil fuel extraction and combustion\, renewable energy deployment\, and mining to outfit carbon-free capitalism.”[2] \nOther works in the exhibition employ a variety of archaeologically inspired motifs and techniques\, especially paper squeeze casting. Paper squeeze\, or paper molding\, was an archaeological technique developed by Alfred Maudslay in the late 19th century in which layers of wet paper were pressed onto Mayan monuments to create replicas that could later be cast in plaster. Maudslay used this technique to reach remote sites in Guatemala that would have been inaccessible to teams carrying tons of plaster-casting supplies. Incidentally\, Maudslay began his archaeological work at the same time widespread global temperature recordings began. My paper sculptures are copies of copies\, created by first making a “sacrificial sculpture\,” which is then paper-molded. When completed\, the original is thrown out\, leaving the paper cast as the work. By displaying the cast as the artwork\, I want to highlight its indeterminacy. The sacrificial sculpture can be thought of as both absent and present\, like an impression\, thought\, or memory. The surface of these sculptures is fragile yet resilient and is skin-like\, which reminds me of the solidity and impermanence of ourselves\, our past\, and our imagined futures. \n\nFRANK CHANG (b. 1979\, New York) is a multi-disciplinary artist who employs and re-frames ordinary or familiar visual forms in order to examine the entangled and complex interrelationships between climate\, social\, and cultural issues. Chang’s work spans a variety of mediums\, including works on paper\, sculpture\, installation\, and performance\, but each body of work is based upon a consistent methodology in which recognizable forms — from the vernacular to the historical — act as springboards for deeper investigations into these issues. \nHis work has been exhibited at Gallery Ondo (Seoul\, South Korea)\, Gallery G (Hiroshima\, Japan)\, Wells College (Aurora\, NY)\, Ithaca College\, Ortega y Gasset Projects (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Bushel (Delhi\, NY)\, Dartmouth College\, the Torrance Art Museum\, Museum of Jurassic Technology\, LA Design Center\, Woodbury University\, and Virginia Commonwealth University\, among others. He has also installed site-specific works on Governors Island\, High Desert Test Sites (Wonder Valley\, CA) and alongside a stream in South Windham\, VT.He was formerly co-director of Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles\, and he was a contributor to the book Dispatches and Directions: On Artist-Run Organizations in Los Angeles and to the journal MATERIAL. He received his BA from Dartmouth College and his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. He is a Lecturer in the Department of Art & Design at Binghamton University. \n[1] Timothy Morton\, The Ecological Thought\, (Harvard University Press\, 2010)\, 29.[2] Thea Riofrancos\, Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism\, (W.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art & Film: 'With us at the center of our world: animals\, domestications\, dreams'
DESCRIPTION:Opening Friday\, June 12\, 2026\, 6–8 pm\nExhibition hours: Tuesday–Saturday\, 12–5 pm\, extended hours through 8 pm on Wednesdays\, and by appointment\nOn view through September 11\, 2026\nSqueaky Wheel presents an exhibition and public programs thinking through and on non-human animals. The artists – working in animation\, essay films\, speculative narratives\, installation work\, among other forms – address domestication\, colonialism\, extinction\, and conservation\, and the toll humans extract from our co-inhabitants on earth. The exhibition features work by Amy Ching-Yan Lam\, Annika Eriksson\, Cameron A. Granger\, Christina Corfield\, Deniz Tortum & Sister Sylvester\, G. Anthony Svatek\, Miranda Javid\, and Noor Abuarafeh\, with films by Serge Avédikian\, Chris Marker\, and Wiame Haddad in the screening program. \nThe title of the exhibition – with us at the center of our world – is from John Berger’s quintessential essay “Why Look at Animals?”\, describing the place and role humans placed animals: how we may have seen and defined ourselves\, our world through and with them. The works take on various perspectives\, looking with and at animals\, and how the forces of capitalism\, control\, colonialism\, and war are now intertwined in our relationships with them. Thinking through these forces\, the collected works in the exhibition ask: what is the world that humans and animals are at the center of\, and are other worlds possible? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeft to right: Annika Eriksson\, The Community (2010); Miranda Javid\, Little Winds That Died Immediately (2019); Noor Abuarafeh\, Am I the ageless object at the museum? (2018); Deniz Tortum & Sister Sylvester\, Our Ark (2022).\nThe exhibition features multiple strands for visitors to think through our relationship with non-human animals. Miranda Javid’s characteristically spectacular animated work Little Winds That Died Immediately features small animals as they try to survive under the force of humans using the artist’s signature transformative style\, with its subtle and evocative soundtrack heard through the gallery. Amy Ching-Yan Lam’s Looty Goes to Heaven is written from the perspective of Looty\, a small Pekingese dog that was stolen by British troops and gifted to Queen Victoria. The speculative fiction work—with Looty’s life told in the book and her restful afterlife in the video work made with Emerson Maxwell—speaks tenderly and often humorously to the obscene legacies left by the British empire on China during the Second Opium War. Cameron A. Granger’s stunning Just Below Heaven imagines the dreams and inner life of a pigeon trained for the machinery of American control; while Christina Corfield’s installation Pony Players Review thinks through the connections and settlements enabled in the U.S. by the Pony Express. Cutting together technology advertisements across decades that feature animals and nature in selling televisions\, G. Anthony Svatek’s A Whole New Species harkens to the everpresent narrative of ownership\, spectacle\, and control over our world. Thinking through curated forms of animal collection such as zoos—what Berger called “living monument(s) to their own disappearance”—Noor Abuarafeh’s Am I the ageless object at the museum? considers zoos\, museums\, and cemeteries through an evocative narrative and footage of zoos in Palestine\, Switzerland\, and Egypt. Paired in the center of the exhibition with Abuarafeh’s work\, Deniz Tortum and Sister Sylvester’s Our Ark documents the possibilities and consequences of efforts to backup virtual replicas of the world. Finally\, Annika Erikkson’s video The Community features a carpet with several street cats in Turkey\, opening a space for us to consider the roles and responsibilities of domestication\, and the possibility of creating new spaces for human animals and non-human animals to gather. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeft to right: Cameron A. Granger\, Just Below Heaven (2025); Christina Corfield\, Pony Players Review (2020-Present); G. Anthony Svatek\, A Whole New Species (1956–2026); Amy Ching-Yan Lam with Emerson Maxwell\, Looty Goes to Heaven (2022).\nAdditional work will be shared with a screening of films\, including Chris Marker’s Chats Perchés (The Case of the Grinning Cat) accompanied by the short films Serge Avédikian’s Chienne D’histoire (Barking Island) and Wiame Haddad’s Sang Titre. Avédikian’s animated film\, Chienne D’histoire\, tells the story of the 1910 dog exile and massacre in Ottoman Istanbul\, where thousands of dogs were rounded up and sent to a nearby Island to die in an attempt to modernize the empire in its final years; the film quite clearly asks us to make the connection between the event and the Armenian Genocide. Meanwhile\, Wiame Haddad’s brief and subtle film\, Sang Titre features mysterious Super 8 footage of a donkey that mourns the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The short films will be screened with Chris Marker’s iconic documentary of the 2000s\, Chats Perchés (The Case of the Grinning Cat)\, where the filmmaker reflects on French and international protest movements and culture at the start of the Iraq War through the sudden appearance of alluring portraits of grinning yellow cats through Paris. Click here to learn more about the screening on its respective page. \nSqueaky Wheel is excited to feature the work of former Workspace Residents Deniz Tortum\, G. Anthony Svatek\, and Miranda Javid in this exhibition. Curated by Ekrem Serdar. This exhibition is supported by Teiger Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Rachel Shelton\, 'Slow Looking'
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is thrilled to present Slow Looking\, a new body of work by Rachel Shelton that challenges the negativity so often associated with decay\, uncertainty\, and precarity. Featuring a series of monotypes\, etchings\, collagraphs\, and screenprints of rock forms\, the exhibition is on view from May 22 through August 1\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, May 22\, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. \nAll of the rock forms in Slow Looking originate from a single photo of two rocks in a field of glacial deposits that Shelton stumbled upon during a trip to Montana. With adjustments to scale\, orientation\, color\, and surrounding compositions\, the prints invite us to shift between micro and macro perspectives and consider the ecosystems pocketed within a life cycle. Her work documents the passage of time via the life cycle of a rock\, suggests the building blocks of larger structures\, and navigates the network of meaning and connections that form when things fall apart.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Frank Chang\, 'The Mesh'
DESCRIPTION:From the artist: In the studio\, I take on the perspective of an “archaeologist of the present” in order to reflect on the climate crisis. Otherwise\, the stakes feel too high and making art feels futile and insignificant compared to the magnitude of the problem. I collect fragments of climate news\, bureaucratic documents\, and mass media imagery\, looking for linkages that are unexpectedly resonant. I am searching for things under the surface\, inexplicable connections that are strangely well suited to expressing the feeling of the present\, with all its contradictions\, anxieties\, and possibilities. \nThis exhibition combines new and recent climate-related work. The title is inspired by philosopher Timothy Morton’s metaphor of the mesh. Morton uses the mesh to refer to the ecological interconnectedness of all things\, both living and non-living. The mesh\, according to Morton\, allows us to imagine things normally thought to be contradictory. It is both foreground and background\, hard and delicate. It is both too large and infinitesimally small. The mesh is the perfect metaphor for thinking about climate because “[e]ach point of the mesh is both the centre and edge of a system of points\, so there is no absolute centre or edge.”[1] The mesh also perfectly encapsulates my working process\, in which each fragment leads to another; I see what’s in front of me as both the beginning and end of the process. \nHyperbatteries is a series of sculptures that reconfigure the clean and rational aesthetics of various “green” battery technologies as dense assemblages of entangled materials\, histories\, and ideas. I began with the definition of batteries as connected energies\, then followed threads ranging from the German Romanticism of early battery pioneers to Qing Dynasty symbolism and spirituality. Of course\, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy is crucial in helping to mitigate climate change. But batteries are too often depicted as the “solution” to climate change\, with little regard for how they are produced or where their minerals come from. Indeed\, as political scientist Thea Riofrancos points out\, “…the promise of zero emissions sits alongside the reality of fossil fuel extraction and combustion\, renewable energy deployment\, and mining to outfit carbon-free capitalism.”[2] \nOther works in the exhibition employ a variety of archaeologically inspired motifs and techniques\, especially paper squeeze casting. Paper squeeze\, or paper molding\, was an archaeological technique developed by Alfred Maudslay in the late 19th century in which layers of wet paper were pressed onto Mayan monuments to create replicas that could later be cast in plaster. Maudslay used this technique to reach remote sites in Guatemala that would have been inaccessible to teams carrying tons of plaster-casting supplies. Incidentally\, Maudslay began his archaeological work at the same time widespread global temperature recordings began. My paper sculptures are copies of copies\, created by first making a “sacrificial sculpture\,” which is then paper-molded. When completed\, the original is thrown out\, leaving the paper cast as the work. By displaying the cast as the artwork\, I want to highlight its indeterminacy. The sacrificial sculpture can be thought of as both absent and present\, like an impression\, thought\, or memory. The surface of these sculptures is fragile yet resilient and is skin-like\, which reminds me of the solidity and impermanence of ourselves\, our past\, and our imagined futures. \n\nFRANK CHANG (b. 1979\, New York) is a multi-disciplinary artist who employs and re-frames ordinary or familiar visual forms in order to examine the entangled and complex interrelationships between climate\, social\, and cultural issues. Chang’s work spans a variety of mediums\, including works on paper\, sculpture\, installation\, and performance\, but each body of work is based upon a consistent methodology in which recognizable forms — from the vernacular to the historical — act as springboards for deeper investigations into these issues. \nHis work has been exhibited at Gallery Ondo (Seoul\, South Korea)\, Gallery G (Hiroshima\, Japan)\, Wells College (Aurora\, NY)\, Ithaca College\, Ortega y Gasset Projects (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Bushel (Delhi\, NY)\, Dartmouth College\, the Torrance Art Museum\, Museum of Jurassic Technology\, LA Design Center\, Woodbury University\, and Virginia Commonwealth University\, among others. He has also installed site-specific works on Governors Island\, High Desert Test Sites (Wonder Valley\, CA) and alongside a stream in South Windham\, VT.He was formerly co-director of Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles\, and he was a contributor to the book Dispatches and Directions: On Artist-Run Organizations in Los Angeles and to the journal MATERIAL. He received his BA from Dartmouth College and his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. He is a Lecturer in the Department of Art & Design at Binghamton University. \n[1] Timothy Morton\, The Ecological Thought\, (Harvard University Press\, 2010)\, 29.[2] Thea Riofrancos\, Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism\, (W.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art & Film: 'With us at the center of our world: animals\, domestications\, dreams'
DESCRIPTION:Opening Friday\, June 12\, 2026\, 6–8 pm\nExhibition hours: Tuesday–Saturday\, 12–5 pm\, extended hours through 8 pm on Wednesdays\, and by appointment\nOn view through September 11\, 2026\nSqueaky Wheel presents an exhibition and public programs thinking through and on non-human animals. The artists – working in animation\, essay films\, speculative narratives\, installation work\, among other forms – address domestication\, colonialism\, extinction\, and conservation\, and the toll humans extract from our co-inhabitants on earth. The exhibition features work by Amy Ching-Yan Lam\, Annika Eriksson\, Cameron A. Granger\, Christina Corfield\, Deniz Tortum & Sister Sylvester\, G. Anthony Svatek\, Miranda Javid\, and Noor Abuarafeh\, with films by Serge Avédikian\, Chris Marker\, and Wiame Haddad in the screening program. \nThe title of the exhibition – with us at the center of our world – is from John Berger’s quintessential essay “Why Look at Animals?”\, describing the place and role humans placed animals: how we may have seen and defined ourselves\, our world through and with them. The works take on various perspectives\, looking with and at animals\, and how the forces of capitalism\, control\, colonialism\, and war are now intertwined in our relationships with them. Thinking through these forces\, the collected works in the exhibition ask: what is the world that humans and animals are at the center of\, and are other worlds possible? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeft to right: Annika Eriksson\, The Community (2010); Miranda Javid\, Little Winds That Died Immediately (2019); Noor Abuarafeh\, Am I the ageless object at the museum? (2018); Deniz Tortum & Sister Sylvester\, Our Ark (2022).\nThe exhibition features multiple strands for visitors to think through our relationship with non-human animals. Miranda Javid’s characteristically spectacular animated work Little Winds That Died Immediately features small animals as they try to survive under the force of humans using the artist’s signature transformative style\, with its subtle and evocative soundtrack heard through the gallery. Amy Ching-Yan Lam’s Looty Goes to Heaven is written from the perspective of Looty\, a small Pekingese dog that was stolen by British troops and gifted to Queen Victoria. The speculative fiction work—with Looty’s life told in the book and her restful afterlife in the video work made with Emerson Maxwell—speaks tenderly and often humorously to the obscene legacies left by the British empire on China during the Second Opium War. Cameron A. Granger’s stunning Just Below Heaven imagines the dreams and inner life of a pigeon trained for the machinery of American control; while Christina Corfield’s installation Pony Players Review thinks through the connections and settlements enabled in the U.S. by the Pony Express. Cutting together technology advertisements across decades that feature animals and nature in selling televisions\, G. Anthony Svatek’s A Whole New Species harkens to the everpresent narrative of ownership\, spectacle\, and control over our world. Thinking through curated forms of animal collection such as zoos—what Berger called “living monument(s) to their own disappearance”—Noor Abuarafeh’s Am I the ageless object at the museum? considers zoos\, museums\, and cemeteries through an evocative narrative and footage of zoos in Palestine\, Switzerland\, and Egypt. Paired in the center of the exhibition with Abuarafeh’s work\, Deniz Tortum and Sister Sylvester’s Our Ark documents the possibilities and consequences of efforts to backup virtual replicas of the world. Finally\, Annika Erikkson’s video The Community features a carpet with several street cats in Turkey\, opening a space for us to consider the roles and responsibilities of domestication\, and the possibility of creating new spaces for human animals and non-human animals to gather. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeft to right: Cameron A. Granger\, Just Below Heaven (2025); Christina Corfield\, Pony Players Review (2020-Present); G. Anthony Svatek\, A Whole New Species (1956–2026); Amy Ching-Yan Lam with Emerson Maxwell\, Looty Goes to Heaven (2022).\nAdditional work will be shared with a screening of films\, including Chris Marker’s Chats Perchés (The Case of the Grinning Cat) accompanied by the short films Serge Avédikian’s Chienne D’histoire (Barking Island) and Wiame Haddad’s Sang Titre. Avédikian’s animated film\, Chienne D’histoire\, tells the story of the 1910 dog exile and massacre in Ottoman Istanbul\, where thousands of dogs were rounded up and sent to a nearby Island to die in an attempt to modernize the empire in its final years; the film quite clearly asks us to make the connection between the event and the Armenian Genocide. Meanwhile\, Wiame Haddad’s brief and subtle film\, Sang Titre features mysterious Super 8 footage of a donkey that mourns the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The short films will be screened with Chris Marker’s iconic documentary of the 2000s\, Chats Perchés (The Case of the Grinning Cat)\, where the filmmaker reflects on French and international protest movements and culture at the start of the Iraq War through the sudden appearance of alluring portraits of grinning yellow cats through Paris. Click here to learn more about the screening on its respective page. \nSqueaky Wheel is excited to feature the work of former Workspace Residents Deniz Tortum\, G. Anthony Svatek\, and Miranda Javid in this exhibition. Curated by Ekrem Serdar. This exhibition is supported by Teiger Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.

And if that fantasy honky‐tonk lights your Marlboro\, you need to know about Honey Island Swamp Band.” – Broward-Palm Beach New Times \nThe Honey Island Swamp Band are a thrilling\, eclectic band that defies genre conventions\, renders song structures elastic\, and wholeheartedly stresses that the song reigns supreme. Since they formed in 2005 in San Francisco after their displacement from New Orleans via Katrina – and subsequently relocated back home – the band has evolved to embody contemporary roots music. \nThe fivesome – bandleader and multi-instrumentalist Aaron Wilkinson\, guitarist and vocalist Lee Yankee\, bassist Sam Price\, keyboardist Chris Spies\, and drummer and vocalist Garland Paul – have released six albums and played stages around the world. \n  \nYellow Jack plays rowdy roots\, fiddle tunes\, spirituals\, hillbilly rave-ups and bluegrass from Buffalo-Niagara.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Music: The Bones of J.R. Jones — Worried Heart Tour at the 9th Ward
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, June 18\, 2026 \nDSP Shows presents The Bones of J.R. Jones live in The 9th Ward \n7pm Doors\, 8pm Show \nTickets On Sale Friday 4/2 @ 11am EST: General Admission Standing $20 advance / $25 day of show\, available at TixR.com or in person at the Babeville Box Office (M-F 11a-5p- in person fee free cash sales\, 3% credit/debit card fee). \nGrowing up\, Jonathon Linaberry was obsessed with the radio. \n“I remember sitting there at night\, glued to the boombox\, cassette player ready to record\nwhenever my favorite songs came on\,” he recalls. “There was something so thrilling about it\,\nsomething romantic that I think we’ve lost now that everything’s available at our fingertips. I\nwanted to find a way to get back to that place\, to recapture those feelings of excitement and\nanticipation and possibility.” \nLinaberry does precisely that on Radio Waves\, his sixth studio album as The Bones Of J.R. Jones.\nRecorded in Toronto with producer Robbie Lackritz (Feist\, Bahamas)\, the collection is moody\nand hypnotic\, steeped in the sonic landscape of the ’80s and ’90s as it excavates the past with\nequal parts nostalgia and curiosity. The arrangements are utterly entrancing here\, built on the\ntension between acoustic instruments and retro synthesizers\, and Linaberry’s performances are\nraw and visceral\, at times aching in their vulnerability. Put it all together and you’ve got a\npoignant exploration of memory and longing delivered by a relentless searcher\, a revelatory\nwork of personal reflection steeped in the endless beauty\, pain\, and chaos of youth.\n“I’ve never really resonated with the idea of ‘the good old days\,’” Linaberry reflects. “Your\nunderstanding of the past and your relationship with it change as you get older\, and I’ve always\nbeen more interested in the evolution of those feelings than in wearing any kind of rose-\ncolored glasses.” \n

SUMMARY:Buffalo Music: Eric Hutchinson
DESCRIPTION:Eric Hutchinson\nEric Hutchinson’s new album\, Repeating Myself is a joyous return to the piano pop and singer-songwriter soul that first hooked fans of his debut album\, Sounds Like This. Full of feel-good\, upbeat tracks\, Repeating Myself\, might make you think of Billy Joel or Stevie Wonder\, but honestly – it sounds like vintage Eric Hutchinson. He even jokes\, “The number one influence for these new songs was… myself.” \nThis whole “return to form” idea thing began when Eric was on tour celebrating the 15th anniversary of Sounds Like This (the one with hits like “Rock & Roll” and “Ok\, It’s Alright With Me”). Playing those early songs was a wake-up call. “I’m different from when I wrote those songs\, and it felt like someone else had made them\,” Eric recalls. “I loved how immediate and raw they were. I decided to try writing songs like that person again.” \nThe result? A collection of catchy\, danceable\, energetic instant-classics that are totally Hutchinsonian. “King of Philadelphia” is a bouncing\, soulful funk tune where Eric uses his dry wit to roast the ridiculous cost of city living. Fans can also groove to “Anything You Need\,” a neo-Motown duet with Tess Henley about total devotion\, dance to the rhythmic\, Latin inspired “Tell The Truth”\, and let their toe tap to “Naturally”\, Eric’s ode to patience and creativity. \nTo celebrate his first new album in four years\, Eric’s hitting the road in 2026 for the Repeating Myself Tour. The setlist will be a perfect mix: the new songs\, pop anthems like “Tell The World\,” “A Little More\,” and “Dear Me”\, and the Sounds Like This tracks that started it all. You can count on every night being packed with soulful music\, dynamic vocals\, and Eric’s trademark dry humor and storytelling. Basically\, don’t miss it. \n  \nAll-In Pricing Notice \nIn accordance with New York State law\, all ticketed events must display the total price of admission upfront — including all fees\, charges\, and taxes. This means the price you see listed is the final price you’ll pay. No hidden fees\, no surprises at checkout — just full transparency from the start.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Farmer's Market — Clinton-Bailey Farmer's & Flea Market
DESCRIPTION:The Niagara Frontier Growers Co-operative Market\, Inc. was born in October 1930. The objectives of the co-op were to promote\, foster and encourage the intelligent and orderly marketing of agricultural products between producer and consumer. The co-op was also formed to make the distribution of agricultural products between producer and consumer as direct and efficient possible. \nNiagara Frontier Growers leased the land from the railroad until the 1950’s when it then purchased the land. Over the years \, the Market became known as the Clinton-Bailey Farmers Market and has become a vital link in Western New York’s food distribution. \nOver the years\, many Western New York farmers and growers have brought some of the finest locally grown products to the Market for distribution. Some farmers traveled more than 2 hours to sell their goods at the Market. In the early years of the Market many of the farmers would transport their goods by horse and buggy! \nToday\, the location of the Clinton-Bailey Farmers Market is central within the growing region and central within the “food distribution hub” of the City of Buffalo. Hundreds of thousands of customers pass through the Market each year to purchase fresh locally grown goods direct from the farmer insuring healthy eating and savings to the end consumer. \nThe Market has also become a desired destination for those looking to purchase flowers\, vegetable plants\, herbs\, shrubs and Christmas Trees. Many wholesale buyers include major grocers\, institutions\, neighborhood markets\, restaurants\, caterers\, garden centers and other farm market stands that come to the Market every Tuesday\, Thursday and Saturday morning as early as 4:00 AM. \nCLINTON BAILEY MARKET\n1443 – 1517 Clinton Street\nBuffalo\, NY 14206

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Rachel Shelton\, 'Slow Looking'
DESCRIPTION:Buffalo Arts Studio is thrilled to present Slow Looking\, a new body of work by Rachel Shelton that challenges the negativity so often associated with decay\, uncertainty\, and precarity. Featuring a series of monotypes\, etchings\, collagraphs\, and screenprints of rock forms\, the exhibition is on view from May 22 through August 1\, 2026. An opening reception will be held on Friday\, May 22\, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. \nAll of the rock forms in Slow Looking originate from a single photo of two rocks in a field of glacial deposits that Shelton stumbled upon during a trip to Montana. With adjustments to scale\, orientation\, color\, and surrounding compositions\, the prints invite us to shift between micro and macro perspectives and consider the ecosystems pocketed within a life cycle. Her work documents the passage of time via the life cycle of a rock\, suggests the building blocks of larger structures\, and navigates the network of meaning and connections that form when things fall apart.  \nFor more information about Buffalo Arts Studio\, please visit www.buffaloartsstudio.org

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art: Frank Chang\, 'The Mesh'
DESCRIPTION:From the artist: In the studio\, I take on the perspective of an “archaeologist of the present” in order to reflect on the climate crisis. Otherwise\, the stakes feel too high and making art feels futile and insignificant compared to the magnitude of the problem. I collect fragments of climate news\, bureaucratic documents\, and mass media imagery\, looking for linkages that are unexpectedly resonant. I am searching for things under the surface\, inexplicable connections that are strangely well suited to expressing the feeling of the present\, with all its contradictions\, anxieties\, and possibilities. \nThis exhibition combines new and recent climate-related work. The title is inspired by philosopher Timothy Morton’s metaphor of the mesh. Morton uses the mesh to refer to the ecological interconnectedness of all things\, both living and non-living. The mesh\, according to Morton\, allows us to imagine things normally thought to be contradictory. It is both foreground and background\, hard and delicate. It is both too large and infinitesimally small. The mesh is the perfect metaphor for thinking about climate because “[e]ach point of the mesh is both the centre and edge of a system of points\, so there is no absolute centre or edge.”[1] The mesh also perfectly encapsulates my working process\, in which each fragment leads to another; I see what’s in front of me as both the beginning and end of the process. \nHyperbatteries is a series of sculptures that reconfigure the clean and rational aesthetics of various “green” battery technologies as dense assemblages of entangled materials\, histories\, and ideas. I began with the definition of batteries as connected energies\, then followed threads ranging from the German Romanticism of early battery pioneers to Qing Dynasty symbolism and spirituality. Of course\, replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy is crucial in helping to mitigate climate change. But batteries are too often depicted as the “solution” to climate change\, with little regard for how they are produced or where their minerals come from. Indeed\, as political scientist Thea Riofrancos points out\, “…the promise of zero emissions sits alongside the reality of fossil fuel extraction and combustion\, renewable energy deployment\, and mining to outfit carbon-free capitalism.”[2] \nOther works in the exhibition employ a variety of archaeologically inspired motifs and techniques\, especially paper squeeze casting. Paper squeeze\, or paper molding\, was an archaeological technique developed by Alfred Maudslay in the late 19th century in which layers of wet paper were pressed onto Mayan monuments to create replicas that could later be cast in plaster. Maudslay used this technique to reach remote sites in Guatemala that would have been inaccessible to teams carrying tons of plaster-casting supplies. Incidentally\, Maudslay began his archaeological work at the same time widespread global temperature recordings began. My paper sculptures are copies of copies\, created by first making a “sacrificial sculpture\,” which is then paper-molded. When completed\, the original is thrown out\, leaving the paper cast as the work. By displaying the cast as the artwork\, I want to highlight its indeterminacy. The sacrificial sculpture can be thought of as both absent and present\, like an impression\, thought\, or memory. The surface of these sculptures is fragile yet resilient and is skin-like\, which reminds me of the solidity and impermanence of ourselves\, our past\, and our imagined futures. \n\nFRANK CHANG (b. 1979\, New York) is a multi-disciplinary artist who employs and re-frames ordinary or familiar visual forms in order to examine the entangled and complex interrelationships between climate\, social\, and cultural issues. Chang’s work spans a variety of mediums\, including works on paper\, sculpture\, installation\, and performance\, but each body of work is based upon a consistent methodology in which recognizable forms — from the vernacular to the historical — act as springboards for deeper investigations into these issues. \nHis work has been exhibited at Gallery Ondo (Seoul\, South Korea)\, Gallery G (Hiroshima\, Japan)\, Wells College (Aurora\, NY)\, Ithaca College\, Ortega y Gasset Projects (Brooklyn\, NY)\, Bushel (Delhi\, NY)\, Dartmouth College\, the Torrance Art Museum\, Museum of Jurassic Technology\, LA Design Center\, Woodbury University\, and Virginia Commonwealth University\, among others. He has also installed site-specific works on Governors Island\, High Desert Test Sites (Wonder Valley\, CA) and alongside a stream in South Windham\, VT.He was formerly co-director of Monte Vista Projects in Los Angeles\, and he was a contributor to the book Dispatches and Directions: On Artist-Run Organizations in Los Angeles and to the journal MATERIAL. He received his BA from Dartmouth College and his MFA from the California Institute of the Arts. He is a Lecturer in the Department of Art & Design at Binghamton University. \n[1] Timothy Morton\, The Ecological Thought\, (Harvard University Press\, 2010)\, 29.[2] Thea Riofrancos\, Extraction: The Frontiers of Green Capitalism\, (W.

SUMMARY:Buffalo Art & Film: 'With us at the center of our world: animals\, domestications\, dreams'
DESCRIPTION:Opening Friday\, June 12\, 2026\, 6–8 pm\nExhibition hours: Tuesday–Saturday\, 12–5 pm\, extended hours through 8 pm on Wednesdays\, and by appointment\nOn view through September 11\, 2026\nSqueaky Wheel presents an exhibition and public programs thinking through and on non-human animals. The artists – working in animation\, essay films\, speculative narratives\, installation work\, among other forms – address domestication\, colonialism\, extinction\, and conservation\, and the toll humans extract from our co-inhabitants on earth. The exhibition features work by Amy Ching-Yan Lam\, Annika Eriksson\, Cameron A. Granger\, Christina Corfield\, Deniz Tortum & Sister Sylvester\, G. Anthony Svatek\, Miranda Javid\, and Noor Abuarafeh\, with films by Serge Avédikian\, Chris Marker\, and Wiame Haddad in the screening program. \nThe title of the exhibition – with us at the center of our world – is from John Berger’s quintessential essay “Why Look at Animals?”\, describing the place and role humans placed animals: how we may have seen and defined ourselves\, our world through and with them. The works take on various perspectives\, looking with and at animals\, and how the forces of capitalism\, control\, colonialism\, and war are now intertwined in our relationships with them. Thinking through these forces\, the collected works in the exhibition ask: what is the world that humans and animals are at the center of\, and are other worlds possible? \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeft to right: Annika Eriksson\, The Community (2010); Miranda Javid\, Little Winds That Died Immediately (2019); Noor Abuarafeh\, Am I the ageless object at the museum? (2018); Deniz Tortum & Sister Sylvester\, Our Ark (2022).\nThe exhibition features multiple strands for visitors to think through our relationship with non-human animals. Miranda Javid’s characteristically spectacular animated work Little Winds That Died Immediately features small animals as they try to survive under the force of humans using the artist’s signature transformative style\, with its subtle and evocative soundtrack heard through the gallery. Amy Ching-Yan Lam’s Looty Goes to Heaven is written from the perspective of Looty\, a small Pekingese dog that was stolen by British troops and gifted to Queen Victoria. The speculative fiction work—with Looty’s life told in the book and her restful afterlife in the video work made with Emerson Maxwell—speaks tenderly and often humorously to the obscene legacies left by the British empire on China during the Second Opium War. Cameron A. Granger’s stunning Just Below Heaven imagines the dreams and inner life of a pigeon trained for the machinery of American control; while Christina Corfield’s installation Pony Players Review thinks through the connections and settlements enabled in the U.S. by the Pony Express. Cutting together technology advertisements across decades that feature animals and nature in selling televisions\, G. Anthony Svatek’s A Whole New Species harkens to the everpresent narrative of ownership\, spectacle\, and control over our world. Thinking through curated forms of animal collection such as zoos—what Berger called “living monument(s) to their own disappearance”—Noor Abuarafeh’s Am I the ageless object at the museum? considers zoos\, museums\, and cemeteries through an evocative narrative and footage of zoos in Palestine\, Switzerland\, and Egypt. Paired in the center of the exhibition with Abuarafeh’s work\, Deniz Tortum and Sister Sylvester’s Our Ark documents the possibilities and consequences of efforts to backup virtual replicas of the world. Finally\, Annika Erikkson’s video The Community features a carpet with several street cats in Turkey\, opening a space for us to consider the roles and responsibilities of domestication\, and the possibility of creating new spaces for human animals and non-human animals to gather. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLeft to right: Cameron A. Granger\, Just Below Heaven (2025); Christina Corfield\, Pony Players Review (2020-Present); G. Anthony Svatek\, A Whole New Species (1956–2026); Amy Ching-Yan Lam with Emerson Maxwell\, Looty Goes to Heaven (2022).\nAdditional work will be shared with a screening of films\, including Chris Marker’s Chats Perchés (The Case of the Grinning Cat) accompanied by the short films Serge Avédikian’s Chienne D’histoire (Barking Island) and Wiame Haddad’s Sang Titre. Avédikian’s animated film\, Chienne D’histoire\, tells the story of the 1910 dog exile and massacre in Ottoman Istanbul\, where thousands of dogs were rounded up and sent to a nearby Island to die in an attempt to modernize the empire in its final years; the film quite clearly asks us to make the connection between the event and the Armenian Genocide. Meanwhile\, Wiame Haddad’s brief and subtle film\, Sang Titre features mysterious Super 8 footage of a donkey that mourns the ongoing genocide in Gaza. The short films will be screened with Chris Marker’s iconic documentary of the 2000s\, Chats Perchés (The Case of the Grinning Cat)\, where the filmmaker reflects on French and international protest movements and culture at the start of the Iraq War through the sudden appearance of alluring portraits of grinning yellow cats through Paris. Click here to learn more about the screening on its respective page. \nSqueaky Wheel is excited to feature the work of former Workspace Residents Deniz Tortum\, G.
