[ART] It’s a big year for area culturals, with Hallwalls and Just Buffalo Literary Center turning 40 and the pioneering media arts engine-that-could known as Squeaky Wheel turning the big 3-0. On Friday, Squeaky will celebrate a retrospective exhibition at the Burchfield Penney Art Center with work from its history and future to form an inclusive survey. And there’s a lot to take in: work from their myriad youth programs, their DIY zine The Squealer, AxleGrease/ArtGrease public access TV shows, and a lot more. Attendees at the event will have the opportunity to make their own media in the form of 30-second videos in the center’s Project Space, and at 8pm in the Front Yard there will be a special performance by the multifacted mutlimedia Reactionary Ensemble. A verified aural/visual moveable feast, so come on Friday to whet your appetite.
