As a refresher, PLAY/GROUND is an annual art festival presented by M&T Bank and produced by The Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art and Resource:Art. Artists create ambitious, immersive, site-responsive installations for our community to explore.  This year P/G is happening on the banks of the Buffalo River, with thirteen artist installations in and around the old grain silos at Buffalo RiverWorks.  When the festival began in 2018, in its original home, a former Medina High School—the opening night was the party of the year — and this year, the team is expecting nothing less than a booming celebration of our city’s incredible art scene.

This fifth edition of PLAY/GROUND features familiar names from the event’s past. Amanda Besl’s multimedia installation, The Harvest, imagines a haunting memory from the viewpoint of the harvested. Bethany Krull returns with one of her signature colossal, handmade creatures that will hang from inside the silos, its beating heart audible in the cavernous space. There are also plenty of new names among the list of artists including video-artist Logan Ryland Dandridge and Buffalo architect Shawn Chiki. Many artists will engage with the architecture of the silos and the history of the site at RiverWorks in unique ways. Rochester-based artists Ong Siraphisut and Manon Wada will transform one of the grain silos into a metaphorical telescope, inviting viewers to peer into a fantastical alternate universe, and Chicago-based artist Jess Bass is planning an interactive installation with homemade playdough created with the same grains that the GLF Silos historically housed. Underneath RiverWorks’ Ferris wheel, design team Serweta Peck is planning a surreal beach party in a life-sized cereal bowl inspired by the city that smells like Cheerios, complete with inner tube oat Os and marshmallow foam pillows shaped like Buffalo’s architectural icons. A few other projects will be reprised especially for PLAY/GROUND 2022. Adam Weekley’s Camp Everything, a whimsical float that appeared earlier this summer in Buffalo’s Pride Parade, will make its second appearance. The project River Lab BUF, by New York-based artist Mary Mattingly and designed and programmed by Rochester-based Julie Chen, was initially conceived for and installed along Pier 16 in South Street Seaport, New York City. Mattingly and Chen will work with local artists to reconceive this installation for the Buffalo River.

In addition to installation art, several one-night-only performances will take place during the opening night including. Jodi Lynn Maracle’s WHY HERE WHY NOW, a performance that involves Haudenosaunee material culture, and acts of gratitude in the form of traditional Haudenosaunee song and dance. Miggie Wong will present a site-specific performance, StarEyes: Round of Applause, and Brandon Williamson and Saranaide will bring an evening of music and spoken word intended to stimulate, uplift, and inspire. Chango4, way2wavybaby, and OGLXRY will close out the night with their own unique brand of multidisciplinary performance.

PLAY/GROUND 2022 Artists include: Jess Bass • Amanda Besl • Jacob Todd Broussard & Adam Thibodeaux • Chango4, way2wavybaby, and OGLXRY • Shawn Chiki • Logan Ryland Dandridge • Bethany Krull • Xinghuai Huang & Heather Leslie • Mobile River Lab: Mary Mattingly and Julie Chen • Jodi Lynn Maracle • Serweta Peck • Ong Siraphisut & Manon Wada • Adam Weekley • Jesse Walp • Zeitpunk (Matthew Graham) • Brandon Williamson & Saranaide • Miggie Wong

Invisible Church: Invisible Church responds to the poem Southern Gothic by Rickey Laurentiis – the liminal rooms his poems worship, dream, and dance within and the weightless atmosphere they create: an infinite Black continuum.

Bethany Krull

Chrysalis: Creatures constantly work to integrate and infiltrate our own built environments despite our architectural efforts to hold nature at bay. The chrysalis swelling with metaphors of growth, change, and latent potential represents the wild and unpredictable inevitability of nature reclaiming its space.

Xinghuai Huang & Heather Leslie

Transcendent Nature: Transcendent Nature creates a possible future where human’s built environment and nature can thrive alongside each other.

Jodi Lynn Maracle

WHY HERE WHY NOW: Through Haudenosaunee material culture, and acts of gratitude in the form of traditional Haudenosaunee song and dance, songs and dances that made this land and our lives possible, WHY HERE WHY NOW offers an interrogation into the notion of history, of place, and of present responsibility to the land that Buffalo, NY now sits on.

Ong Siraphisut & Manon Wada

Siloscope: Siloscope transforms a grain silo into a metaphorical telescope/microscope for viewing an alternate universe.

Jesse Walp

The Very Foundation: An unknown force changes what we thought we could count on.

Thank you Mike, for Forever Elmwood.

Moments ago, I heard that Michael “Mike” Attardo had passed away. Mike was the owner of Get Dressed – a fine menswear shop on Elmwood Avenue. He was also the founder of Forever Elmwood (1984), which is now the Elmwood Village Association.

When Mike initially started the organization, I was a fledgling business owner on Elmwood, running a shop called Thunder Bay. I remember when I first opened the store, there was another organization operating called the Elmwood Businessmen’s Association. I attended one of their meetings, and quickly realized that nothing was ever going to get done to fix the street, because it was mostly a session to air grievances, with no solutions.

It wasn’t long after that “one and done” meeting that I heard about Mike’s plan to start Forever Elmwood. Along with Ward Pinkel from Urban Surf Shop, I strolled over to Get Dressed to talk to Mike. Previously, Ward and I had decided that come hell or high water, we were going to figure out grassroots ways to clean up the street, which was looking quite haggard. The unfortunate state of the street meant that the businesses were suffering. We figured that we could talk to Mike, to address some of our own concerns, along with some graspable and timely solutions.

Not only did Mike listen to us, he enthusiastically embraced our thoughts and ideas. That’s when we discovered that Get Dressed was an unofficial headquarters for the association, which would (soon) regularly meet at The Crane Library, just down the street.

Mike not only had an innate ability to grasp the fundamentals of urbanism, he also understood how to get things done. He had an incredible network of business owners and public officials, who would regularly stop in to talk to him about the street. For those who knew enough to sit down with Mike throughout the course of the week (leading up to a meeting), they were assured to have their voice heard, and potentially their thoughts and considerations addressed at the meeting.

Before each meeting, Mike would say, “We have one hour and a lot to talk about. Questions and concerns will be addressed after the meeting, but we’re following a strict agenda, so hold off on your questions until after the meeting.”

After the hour-long meeting was over, Mike would say, ” Sorry, we’re out of time, we have to go!” With that, he would exit the meeting, leaving the attendees to discuss the issues among themselves. It was a brilliant tactic.

These were great meetings because they were quick, concise, and a plan was laid out about how to tackle the problems that were bringing down the street. And things got done! Mike understood what it would take to make real, sweeping changes. And he had plenty of people behind him, who could sense his passion and grasp his understanding of “how a street should operate.” He knew that it had to be clean, first and foremost. He fought for the street to be paved, and for the curbs and sidewalks to be fixed. He wanted Elmwood Avenue to be beautiful. That beauty, he understood, would draw more businesses, and shoppers. His goal was to create a commercial district that would be clean and safe, to attract people from all over the region, who had given up on shopping in the city. The plan worked.

Thanks to Michael’s devotion to Elmwood Avenue, the face of Buffalo was forever changed. He taught people how to care for a street. He showed them how to network. He would never take ‘no’ for an answer. If he believed in something, he fought for it. And he fought for us. To me, Mike was a teacher, who helped to show me the ropes, as guidelines for other community endeavors that I would ultimately embark upon. Not only did he/we bring Elmwood back, the bar was set for other commercial districts to follow.

Mind you, this was long before social media – this was at a point when you would have to take the time to meet up in a room – Get Dressed or The Crane Library – or walk the street with brothers in arms, to solve the problems of the world, which, back then, were all on Elmwood. Elmwood Avenue was our world. We knew that if we could fix one special street, we would be on our way to helping to create a better Buffalo, which is what we have today.

Thank you Mike, for Forever Elmwood.

How to Take a Walk—in Buffalo, and Beyond (4th in the series)

We continue the series on walking Buffalo, from the intrepid couple who walked every day—no matter the weather—in the first 30 months of Covid. They think (without being systematic) they walked every street in Buffalo, and many in other cities and towns, taking some 20,000 photos, some of which are shared in this series. While not itineraries, we hope to encourage others to “walk the walk,” to see, observe and appreciate Buffalo—and beyond. William Graebner and Dianne Bennett are also 5 Cent Cine’s film critics, here.

Today’s Photo-Essay: Street Humor 

If you really want to laugh, go to a comedy club or sign up for TikTok. But if you’re looking for just a bit of entertainment, a chuckle to enliven a long walk, you can find it, here and there, on the streets. Some street humor is intentional, some not, and some takes on a humorous gloss only through time. There’s the humor of advertising, and the humor of a 15-year-old with a can of spray paint—and more. Below, I’ve used captions mostly to identify a location, or when otherwise necessary. Here we go.

Gersitz Hardware, Kensington Avenue

Inside the King Sewing Machine Factory, Rano Street and Crowley Avenue, Riverside. The factory, which dates to 1907, when it began manufacturing sewing machines, has been closed for many years. The photo was taken in 2020, when the interior was accessible; it no longer is. 

King Sewing Machine Factory

On the side wall of Colston’s Auto Repair, Winchester Avenue at East Ferry

Big Basha, on Jefferson Avenue, is a combination of mini-mart, beauty products salon—and who knows what else. It has the look of an East Side institution, and a name that’s hard to forget. This aging sign, on the side of the building, with its reference to “Walkmans,” brought on a smile, in part because today, the product is something one might find in Chicago’s Museum of Science and Industry.  Production of the Walkman, a portable audio player, was discontinued in 2010, and the original version was introduced in 1979. 

This is not a street.

For shoppers:

“We Clean Your CLOTHES Not Your WALLET” (Jefferson Avenue)

Front Door, West Side home

Larkinville

We thought this piece, found in March 2020, might be Covid-related. Maybe not. 

Main Street

The area’s marinas feature a particular kind of humor, fun but assertive. 

North Tonawanda

“The Shores” restaurant, on the Niagara River, has a nice collection of “boater” humor on its exterior wall.

Part V – Western New York Will Be in the National Spotlight by “Going Dark”

Time to Find Our Place in the Sun

I know it’s up for me

If you steal my sunshine

Making sure I’m not in too deep

If you steal my sunshine

Keeping versed and on my feet

If you steal my sunshine

Steal My Sunshine‘ by Len may not be an eclipse song, but the moon will be stealing the Western New York sunshine in front of tens or hundreds of thousands of visitors on April 8, 2024.  The words of the chorus are a good reminder that you need to be resilient even if things go awry.  Words that our local leaders need to take to heart.

We have eighteen months to get this right.

What can local leaders do to be resilient and plan for the best?  Here’s a non-exhaustive list to consider:

Construction – April is usually the start of the season for many road and building construction projects.  Nothing ruins the experience of a road trip more than a long delay through a construction zone.   If the projected totals of a half a million or greater visitors comes to pass, that is adding double the number of cars on our highways.  Consider delaying any project that reduces traffic volume until after the eclipse has occurred.Manpower – Maybe this week can be treated as a holiday week for municipal services like garbage pickups?  It would free up the roads and workers could be used the day of the eclipse as paid volunteers around the community.  Speaking of volunteers, time to set up a common volunteer database that can be shared among event organizers.  Maybe this is a time to block off for vacations?  Not only for municipal employees, but also in the tourism, restaurant and retail fields.  This could be an all hands on deck event before and after the eclipse.Lodging – With the eclipse happening off-season for local tourism, hotels and motels will have to be ready for a huge influx of customers for the weekend.  We will also be needing a huge boost from private lodgings (Airbnb, Vrbo, etc.).   Rental agencies might want to book out their available furnished apartments.  Realtors might check with their owners for fully furnished locations if they can open up for guests for the extended weekend. It’s time to reach out to the lodging industry to make sure they make plans for this day and that there is a vetting process for available private rentals.Dining – From fast food to fine dining, we can guarantee full houses throughout the weekend.  Finding any space at the Anchor Bar or Duff’s will be a challenge, but can we get our guests to do the rest of the Buffalo Wing Trail?  Move them from national pizza chains to local pizzerias selling Buffalo-style pizza?  Get them our local favorites and tempt them with the local delicacies unknown outside our region like our Friday fish fry’s (no other place comes close), beef on weck, and spaghetti parmesan?  And finish them off with the melt in your mouth experience of sponge candy?Schools – Should schools should be closed for the day?  This could be a safety issue as the bus ride home will occur during the two and a half hours during either the partial or total eclipse.  It would be tough to ensure that young children would wear the protective solar glasses on what would likely be a rowdy bus ride from school.  It would ease up traffic concerns as well to remove the busses from the roads.  Better yet, if the busses were available, they could be used as shuttles to move people to prime viewing locations without the traffic headaches that on-site parking would cause. We must also take into consideration that schools will be let out for the day during the eclipse – it’s a total safety issue with unsupervised children with unprotected eyes, all doing things kids do… look upwards towards the darkened sun.  Let’s make sure that they are informed and protected.

We have eighteen months to get this right.  New York State and the upstate counties in the path of totality need to get together to fund an advertising campaign to bring people from near and far to see what will one of the longest solar eclipses of the century and the last in the United States in twenty years. 

Having the airports with the largest number of flights scheduled, Buffalo and Rochester will likely be the entry points for out of state visitors, so it would make sense that we would get a majority of the visitors here. 

It would be neat to see a national ad during the pregame of 2024 Super Bowl with the Bills as the defending champions.  And it would be great to have the two-time Super Bowl champion players as ambassadors at our local eclipse activities.

See Part I – Is this a Curse on Our Region?

See Part II – The Motion of the Celestial Spheres?

Part III – Sun, Sun, Sun – Will it Come?

Part IV – Closing Time is 4 am???

Grand (Re)Opening: Five Points Framing

Five Points Framing is preparing for its Grand (Re)Opening. Back in April we discussed the frame shop’s fortuitous move from one “five points” neighborhood to another. Their new location on the first floor of the historic Buehl Building (across from the Central Library) is perfectly situated to accommodate the growing art-inclined residential base in the heart of downtown.

Co-owners Chelsea Black and Abby Spindelman have made a name for themselves locally as an inclusive business that is not only on the move, they are also growing their framing business.

The Buehl building was the muse for artist Charles Burchfield, when he painted Rainy Night.

“In our new location at 36 Broadway, we have the capacity to do multiple design sessions simultaneously and we’ve doubled our workshop space to produce and assemble frames. With all the residential and commercial development happening in this area, we’re glad to bring our flavor of fine art and creativity to the continued revitalization of downtown. There’s also lots of opportunity to collaborate with other creative businesses in the area!” – Five Points Framing

Now, Five Points Framing is celebrating its 3-year anniversary by opening its doors at 36 Broadway Street – another five point intersection – to the community on Friday, October 14, 2022 (6-9pm). The celebratory event will include a live musical performance by Saranaide, Champagne, and light refreshments.

Anyone interested in art, framing, architecture, and supporting the small business community is invited to attend the event. It’s not everyday that we see a frame shop open downtown. There are a number of new galleries to purchase art… now there’s a convenient place to frame those investments.

Market Square Comes Alive

This past Saturday, The Story Garage and the BRR|Alliance hosted the inaugural Market Square Vintage & Maker Market, corner of Niagara Street and Amherst Street. To say that this market was a success would be an understatement. Not only did the number of vendors impress, the attendance was equally impressive.

The credit for this outstanding showing at the market is owed to its hosts, but it should also be credited to the site itself. Finally, Market Square was activated in a way that it deserves.

I spoke to Anne McCooey, Executive Director of the BRR|Alliance, who told me that the vision that they had worked so hard to create, had suddenly been realized. As we walked the grounds of Market Square, she spoke of the grit and determination by the organization, the businesses, and community members, who have been active in transforming the once vacant parcel into a multi-purpose park that is now a natural fit for various types of activities, including flea markets and live music.

By fully activating Market Square (see history), it is easy to see that this Black Rock neighborhood now has an outdoor venue that will act as a catalyst to transform the historic neighborhood. But this didn’t just happen overnight. For years, efforts have been made to rejuvenate this corner parcel. Today the property features public art, manicured grounds with strolling paths, looming shade trees, a garden with native plants, and a stage with seating. It’s got everything that it needs to draw the crowds. Sprinkle in a couple of food trucks, a musician or two, and some boxed wine with funky traveling glasses, and you’re pretty much good to go.

Grace Lougen – artistic windows by Justin Dahl

That was how it went down on Saturday afternoon, as singer/guitarist Grace Lougen (from Grosh) took to the stage, with one of the more impressive backdrops she could ask for. The new painted window scenes are by Justin Dahl (Queen City Fine Arts), who also created the park’s wooden drum People of Black Rock installation (see here). And I understand that muralist Chris Pionkowski will be extending the “We are…” mural further along the brick wall, further into the park setting.

Mural by Chris Pionkowski

Anne McCooey and Neil Gerard

I really can’t say enough about his most recent effort to electrify Market Square. Neil told me that he plans on hosting this market in the spring, and then again in the fall, with possibly a third in-between.

Seeing that The Story Garage is located right next door, it’s an opportune fit, which offers a sizable indoor element to play off the market successes. Plus, with ongoing renovations to his host building (1875 Niagara Street), further opportunities are arising to potentially expand the market concept indoors.

In agreement with Neil, Anne said that the plan is to infill the scheduling for Market Square with various other events – the possibilities are now virtually limitless. The end result is an epicenter of creativity and a home for small businesses. The marketeers that answered the call to action, now find themselves with another hit on their hands. Between the vintage markets at Market Square, seasonal pop-ups throughout the region, and a plethora of other flea and vintage markets that are now operating, local makers and peddlers-of-wares have a lot to be thankful for. And the general public has yet another programmed park setting to look forward to visiting throughout the year. This is just another great example of Buffalo in the making.

A Glass Act: 1875 Niagara Street

1875 Niagara Street has been the beneficiary of a Buffalo Main Streets Initiative (BMSI) grant. The funding allowed for the building’s second and third floors to be glassed. Combined, the upper floors are 13,710 SF, which provides for plenty of creative uses. Hopefully, these future uses will be in similar veins as The Story Garage, which now occupies a good chunk of the first floor, in the commercial storefront.

2018

Back in 2018, I covered 1875 Niagara Street, when its first floor storefronts were initially installed. Since that time, the building has been undergoing incremental rejuvenation. The owner of The Story Garage – Neil Gerard – has created a vintage destination on Niagara Street.

Thanks to guidance from the Black Rock Riverside Alliance, and its Executive Director, Anne McCooey, this historic Black Rock neighborhood is getting the resources that it needs to become one of the latest success stories in Buffalo. 1875 Niagara Street is just one example of a number of developments and renovation projects that are coming to pass.

204 High Street Renovations Underway

A number of potential developers have sought to renovate City-owned 204 High Street but could never put together a feasible project.  Not so for Douglas Jemal.  Jemal’s Douglas Development is pushing forward with work to repurpose the historic Meidenbauer House that sits just east of the Medical Campus.  The long-neglected structure will contain nine apartments when work is finished.

Jemal is seeking Zoning Board of Appeals approval to construct an eight-space parking lot to serve the property at the corner of High and Maple streets. Under the Green Code, front and corner side yard parking is not permitted. A small community park is proposed for the east side of the structure at High and Mulberry streets (below).

204 High Street is an Italianate circa-1870 brick building, one of the oldest in the Fruit Belt neighborhood. The property is listed as a City of Buffalo local landmark. The property had a long time use as the personal residence and medical practice of John Meidenbauer. In the late 1930s it was sold to Lyle Morgan, another doctor, who also utilized it for his personal residence and practice. The building was last used in 1979 as a doctor’s office and the City took ownership around 2005 after Morgan’s son was unable to pay the taxes for the property.

Superior Contracting Inc. is doing the roofing and rough framing work. Antunovich Associates is project architect.
