Buffalo ReFuse: Video Theater
Michael Chernoff
ReFuse is a multi-channel screening of films that document the urban landscape of Buffalo NY, made by local filmmakers, and constructed from salvaged building materials and old CRT video monitors. The work will be publicly exhibited at ReUse Action on Buffalo’s East Side neighborhood, and includes artist talks and workshops.
Bodega 333
Alison Cortes
A magic market focused on childlike imagination, community, and creating safe spaces. A local gallery is transformed into a playful storefront, creating an immersive exhibition space for unique and free public programming. Bodega 333 is a dreamlike space where all are invited to wander and wonder.
Useful Symbiont
Claudia Mancuso D'Auria
We believe we shape the world of objects - but our objects shape us. We are symbionts. These things carry, collect and present. Their role is ambiguous, residing between art and science, data and display. Collect, grow, feed, perform: responsive in the world.
Tangled Gravities
Shawn Chiki
Tangled Gravities is a public sculpture / interactive mixed reality worldbuilding exercise, where people with radically different gravities coexist innocently, traversing a playground of AI-generated nonsense.
Beneath the Soil
Sussan Giallombardo and Stefana Paskoff
Sussan Giallombardo's project is an interdisciplinary collaboration with Stefana Paskoff. She will be creating an installation using Stefana’s vast collection of animal bones. Her intention is to design and produce separate environments using the innumerable bones that have been systematically cataloged for over forty years.
IMKirkwood the Artist
Iris M. Kirkwood
The Generator Grant will fund an exhibit of my artwork in God City Senior Living Apartments Community Center. I tell stories of the little moments in life: joy, pathos, awe, jealousy, love. My work is figurative. When I create my visual narratives, I use elements such as character, setting, and point of view. There is more to the emotional life of Black people than anger and sorrow.

TRANSVERSALS [Dead Futures]
D. Sloan & Connor Grogan
TRANSVERSALS is a hybridized experiment in producing and publishing essays, visual arts, and mixed media on theory, theory-fiction, and other speculative genres. Artistic creation is a struggle when meritocratic ideals place trend before rigor, flash before nuance, major before minor. We believe the struggle is worth the effort.
Field Service
Groupwork
Groupwork provides “Field Service”: redefining reality in Buffalo's open spaces through a curated sensory experience. Embedded within the trees, skies, and open fields, video art and soundscapes illuminate and augment our shared space, creating a momentary yet memorable dialogue between the natural world and its transient guests.
The Heliotechnics/ Heliotechniques Institute for the Study of Solar Practices
Elia Vargas
Heliotechnics is a speculative media art project that explores new ways of thinking about energetic entities, such as petroleum, whale oil, electricity, and the sun to decenter anthropocentric representations of nature, culture, and technology.
Vague Questions
Nick Mass and Silas Rubeck
Vague Questions is an interview series that documents the reactive mind. The concept is to take questions that may appear in everyday life, take them out of context, and allow the interviewee to assign their own topic to them. The questions are essentially Rorschach tests in language form.
Lost Woods
Quincey Miracle
Lost Woods is an interactive public art exhibition using blanket forts, treehouses, and other makeshift childhood structures to explore the formation of queer identity in adolescence.
Hyper(in)Visible
Soda Haley
"To be hyper(in)visible means receiving both excessive attention and being overlooked, sometimes simultaneously." - Jeannine A. Gailey.

The Last Dance
Petethegod, Dj Carr, Christina Buscarino, Gabriella McKinley
The Last Dance is a representation of cultural Identity and how it relates to textiles in contemporary art. This is Petethegod’s first solo exhibition, and an intention to shine the light on the artists' culture and its significance.
Rites of Spring
John Santomieri
This multi-media project reworks an early Modernist example of the vegetal other as a media performance that seeks to project beyond the human and address both the rite and rights of Spring itself. This Generator Fund Kinetic Grant will target operational costs such as tech purchases and custom fabrication.
Better Hoods and Gardens
Joel Shackleford
This project aims to shine a light on the need to develop and better our inner-city neighborhoods.
And Light Meant God

A Thousand Words
Melissa “Chango4” Rivera

Love Canal
Dana Murray Tyrrell
“Love Canal” is a series of new paintings and exhibition by Dana Murray Tyrrell. This body of work thinks through the landscape genre as a means to understand the site of the worst environmental disaster in US history 50 years after the fact.
