Welcome to the new Hallwalls web site!
We hope you find the new design easy to use and full of the information you most want to know. Of particular interest in the new site are the searchable Timeline of Hallwalls events, and the new & improved online store and membership services. We've spent a bit of time ironing the bugs out, but if you find something that seems amiss or broken, please bring it to the attention of our webmaster.
What's on your mind?
The call has just gone out to Hallwalls members — submit your work to the 2009 Members Exhibition. The title/theme this time is STATUS UPDATE ... an invitation to tell the world how you're feeling, what you're doing, what you like or don't like, list famous people you've met, famous people you want to meet, famous people you don't want to meet ... you get the picture. Go to this page for all the details.

CALLS FOR WORK
Jul. 16, 2009 - Kevin Jerome Everson
Throughout the month of July, Kevin Jerome Everson-who is our 09-10 HARP media artist-will be visiting Buffalo from Virginia to research and shoot a new project, AMC. The experimental short will examine the role advertising played in the migration of African Americans from the agrarian south to the industrial north during the mid 20th century. A prolific and award winning filmmaker, whose work was featured at the Whitney Biennial and most recently was the subject of a retrospective at the Centre Pompidou, Everson will present a survey of recent work.
Jul. 31, 2009 - Jessica Pavone / Mary Halvorson Duo
Mary Halvorson and Jessica Pavone are a Brooklyn-based collaborative duo that have been working together for over four years composing and performing a unique body of music, drawing from classical, jazz and folk traditions while experimenting with new forms. Their music explores improvisation and composition while utilizing amplification and electronic effects as well as acoustic presentation. The compositions in their current repertoire generally range in length from two to six minutes, with each of them composing separate pieces for the project.
Aug. 6, 2009 - Hallwalls 35th Anniversary Art Auction
Hallwalls celebrates its 35th anniversary in 2009. To mark this milestone, in August and September Hallwalls has planned a rare (for us) two-part benefit art auction, the first part to take place here in Buffalo in Asbury Hall on the evening Thursday, August 6th, the second part to be conducted in New York City by and at Christie's on Wednesday, September 23, as part of Christie's fall 2009 "First Open" Sale of Post-War & Contemporary Art, and featuring donated works from just a select few of the many art world luminaries who either got their start here at Hallwalls or exhibited here early in their careers.
Aug. 12, 2009 - Vandermark 5
Ken Vandermark (tenor sax), Dave Rempis (alto/baritone sax), Fred Lonberg-Holm (cello), Kent Kessler (contrabass), Tim Daisy (drums). For the past 20 years, Ken Vandermark has been working to expand the possibilities of improvised and composed music in North America and Europe, both as a performer and organizer.
Aug. 21, 2009 - Speculate: Queer (Re)Visions
An evening of shorts that realign popular culture, and re-evaluate political histories. Featuring Cecelia Dougherty's 1989 classic Grapefruit, an alternative portrait of The Beatles performed by an all female cast; Putting The Balls Away (2008), a reenactment of the 1973 Battle of the Sexes tennis match, in which media artist Tara Mateik assumes the roles of both Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs; and Frederic Moffet's Jean Genet In Chicago (2006), which reimagines the French writer's experiences at the 1968 National Democratic Convention.
