Squeaky Wheel is pleased to present this virtual artist talk with our Summer 2022 artist residents, Muse Dodd (Atlanta, GA) and Rob Cosgrove (Sunnyside, NY). The two artists will be presenting and speaking to their previous and current projects, and engage in a Q&A moderated by curator Ekrem Serdar.

During their residency, Muse Dodd will be utilizing the facilities of Squeaky Wheel and our Workspace partner The Foundry to build models and sets for their installation and performance work Black in Both Directions that supposes that Black people invented time travel. Their project will utilize projection mapping, draw on Afro-diasporic notions of time using oral testimonies, and images created by the artist and archival video footage. Rob Cosgrove will be utilizing the space and resonance of Silo City to work on Floaters, a networked sonic performance in Silo City Marine A, performed live for the public at the end of his residency. Inspired by the floating grain elevators used in the First Ward of Buffalo, and drawing on the artist’s own family history in the area, Cosgrove’s work contemplates the shifting networked relationship between the industrial and social communities in one of the city’s oldest neighborhoods.

The event will be available to register and view for 24 hours. SW members will have access to the event for 72 hours.
