Ben Altman: Site/Sight
Light Work Gallery

Price: Free
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman.

Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide. At these places, emblematic of the violent histories that have formed our contemporary world, it is almost automatic for visitors to raise their smart phones and cameras. Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories.

Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

Responsive Eyes
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art opened The Responsive Eye, a landmark exhibition which featured works by 100 modern artists who used abstract forms to examine how different shapes, patterns and colors could affect the eye of a viewer. Often called "Op Art" due to their relationships to the study of optics and optical illusions, these works appear to move, shimmer or vibrate despite the fact that they are stationary. This exhibition revisits the work of four of the artists included in the seminal survey: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella and Victor Vasarely, as well as their Latin contemporary Jesús Rafael Soto.

Opening: Work Won't Kill You
SALTQuarters Gallery

Price: Free
SALTQuarters Gallery
115 Otisco St., Syracuse

There will be an opening reception this evening 6:00-8:00 pm.

In this ongoing installation and performance series, Patty Ortiz has constructed a simulated work environment that investigates the interaction between art and work in the lives of individuals and the life of the community. The WWKY workforce applies the tools of art in a forensic fashion through the collection and systematic examination of images from the Near Westside neighborhood; people, places and moments that reflect the history and character of this community. Ortiz and her workforce transform the documentation into an installation/performance to illustrate the similar nature of art, work and life.

The Blue of Ruins: Works of Arnaldo Roche Rabell
Point of Contact Gallery

Price: Free
Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

The Blue of Ruins features Roche's "blue" paintings and drawings made between 2007 and 2016 that use techniques such as brush drawing, scraping and rubbing on the material's surface to explore what is left of the subject. Many of the works included are still-lifes and the self-portraits, allowing Roche to comment on both the wholesomeness of the artist as subject and his relationship with memory and the world of objects. The exhibition aims to trace the artist's conceptual evolvement from full color to blue, and from an affirmative to an exploded subject.

Arnaldo Roche-Rabell (Puerto Rico, 1955) received his Bachelor's and Master's in Fine Arts from The Art Institute in Chicago. Roche-Rabell's work has been exhibited individually and collectively in museums and galleries like the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (The Puerto Rico Museum of Art), the Chicago Cultural Center, and El Museo del Barrio in New York City. His work is in the collections of many prominent museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Bronx Museum.

Reflections
Society for New Music

Henninger High School
600 Robinson St., Syracuse

Come hear the world premiere of one of the Society's composers-in-the-schools projects. Composer Richard Fields has been working with music teacher and choral conductor Andrea Akins and her chorus. Reflections sets quotations by the chorus members of their personal reflections on peace. In the best tradition of Billie Burdick, SNM board member who began the composers-in-the-schools project 28 years ago, Fields guided the students in a group writing activity focusing on what peace means to them. The activity produced powerful prose and revealed a worldly wisdom that exceeded Fields' expectation.

With the help of the students, he created a three-movement composition: "Meditation" begins with spoken mantras — "Walk in peace," "Live in peace" — plus peace greetings representing the diversity of the Henninger community, accompanied by members of the Henninger Jazz Band led by Rory Edwards. Speaker Nicholas Magari will lead the audience in the mantra and recite the poem by Fields, "Has Peace Lost Its Luster." "Reflection," the second movement, is the setting of the student texts, while the "Conclusion" sets Dona nobis pacem.

Ben Altman: Site/Sight
Light Work Gallery

Price: Free
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman.

Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide. At these places, emblematic of the violent histories that have formed our contemporary world, it is almost automatic for visitors to raise their smart phones and cameras. Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories.

Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

Responsive Eyes
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art opened The Responsive Eye, a landmark exhibition which featured works by 100 modern artists who used abstract forms to examine how different shapes, patterns and colors could affect the eye of a viewer. Often called "Op Art" due to their relationships to the study of optics and optical illusions, these works appear to move, shimmer or vibrate despite the fact that they are stationary. This exhibition revisits the work of four of the artists included in the seminal survey: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella and Victor Vasarely, as well as their Latin contemporary Jesús Rafael Soto.

The Blue of Ruins: Works of Arnaldo Roche Rabell
Point of Contact Gallery

Price: Free
Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

The Blue of Ruins features Roche's "blue" paintings and drawings made between 2007 and 2016 that use techniques such as brush drawing, scraping and rubbing on the material's surface to explore what is left of the subject. Many of the works included are still-lifes and the self-portraits, allowing Roche to comment on both the wholesomeness of the artist as subject and his relationship with memory and the world of objects. The exhibition aims to trace the artist's conceptual evolvement from full color to blue, and from an affirmative to an exploded subject.

Arnaldo Roche-Rabell (Puerto Rico, 1955) received his Bachelor's and Master's in Fine Arts from The Art Institute in Chicago. Roche-Rabell's work has been exhibited individually and collectively in museums and galleries like the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (The Puerto Rico Museum of Art), the Chicago Cultural Center, and El Museo del Barrio in New York City. His work is in the collections of many prominent museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Bronx Museum.

Double Bill: Golden Novak Duo and Kevin Barrigar
Folkus Project

Price: $15 regular, members free
May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Spend an evening full of passion, attitude, and exceptional talent.

Jess Novak and Brian Golden felt an instant connection when they first jammed together in July 2013. Within weeks of meeting, the two worked together on Novak's solo album, Bad Habit, and have continued their musical connection — one where passion and talent meet. The powerhouse duo brings blues, rock and singer/songwriter choice covers and soulful originals to life through guitar, percussion, violin and voice. As a duo, Golden and Novak perform their large catalogue of original music as well as covers spanning B.B. King to Bruce Springsteen to Amy Winehouse to TLC.

Golden has been playing guitar for 24 years and been in bands including Bad Weather Blues, The Pub Crawlers, Fools at Play, Master Thieves, The VooDoo Mystics and Lunar Stew. Novak has been playing violin since the age of seven and performed throughout the Northeast with bands including Master Thieves, Shining Star Band and Jess and The Beards. Her album, "Bad Habit" was nominated for a SAMMY Award and she has been nominated twice for Best Female Vocalist in the Best of Syracuse competition.

Kevin Barrigar brings exceptional guitar skills and a whole lot of attitude to his own unique arrangements. Born ninth in a musical family, Barrigar's talent showed early—singing Elvis with his families band The Christophers. Kevin has shared the stage with the likes of Joe Whiting, fiddle great Hal Casey, world class guitar great Tommy Emmanuel, and 5 time grammy winner Lloyd Maines. Besides a solo act, Kevin performs with his brother Loren, a world class fingerpicker. Barrigar released his debut CD in 2009 entitled Since I Got You. He was also the 2013 WOLF Radio Local Winner of the Texico Country Showdown.

Kindred Beasts: The 2016 Everson Biennial

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The Everson Biennial has been an important platform for contemporary art by New York State artists since its inception in 1974, offering an outlet for creative visual expression and facilitating lively conversations about both what contemporary art is and what it has the power to become. "Kindred Beasts" continues this tradition by presenting a carefully selected group of eight artists whose work focuses on the use of fiber and clay. Each artist interprets the medium in unique and innovative ways, while remaining deeply engaged with tradition and respectful of the past. Representing six counties across the state, the artists are Joe Fyfe, Jeffrey Gibson, Sarah Hewitt, Liz Lurie, Matt Nolen, Sarah Saulson, Bobby Silverman, and Linda Sormin.

In the familiar context of a cookbook and a cooking show, these creations bring concerns about the ethics and politics of biotechnology into the domestic space. Playing with both humor and the grotesque, Chin's photographs encourage people to consider how technology affects our society and our dinner plates.

Ben Altman: Site/Sight
Light Work Gallery

Price: Free
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman.

Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide. At these places, emblematic of the violent histories that have formed our contemporary world, it is almost automatic for visitors to raise their smart phones and cameras. Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories.

Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The Everson Biennial has been an important platform for contemporary art by New York State artists since its inception in 1974, offering an outlet for creative visual expression and facilitating lively conversations about both what contemporary art is and what it has the power to become. "Kindred Beasts" continues this tradition by presenting a carefully selected group of eight artists whose work focuses on the use of fiber and clay. Each artist interprets the medium in unique and innovative ways, while remaining deeply engaged with tradition and respectful of the past. Representing six counties across the state, the artists are Joe Fyfe, Jeffrey Gibson, Sarah Hewitt, Liz Lurie, Matt Nolen, Sarah Saulson, Bobby Silverman, and Linda Sormin.

Responsive Eyes
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art opened The Responsive Eye, a landmark exhibition which featured works by 100 modern artists who used abstract forms to examine how different shapes, patterns and colors could affect the eye of a viewer. Often called "Op Art" due to their relationships to the study of optics and optical illusions, these works appear to move, shimmer or vibrate despite the fact that they are stationary. This exhibition revisits the work of four of the artists included in the seminal survey: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella and Victor Vasarely, as well as their Latin contemporary Jesús Rafael Soto.

A musical prodigy accepted to Juilliard at age six, Hamlisch defied classical expectations to create his own music, dedicating his talents to musical theatre and pop music composition. By age 31, he achieved unprecedented success and honors with a string of hits, and then his streak ended. Faced with pressure to repeat his hits, Hamlisch fell into a self-described "period of suffocating despair" before rebounding to find true love worthy of a Broadway musical and renewed passion for creation. This documentary reveals the events that led to both his staggering success and, ultimately, his even greater humanity: his creative process, struggles, inner turmoil and breakthroughs.

Kindred Beasts: The 2016 Everson Biennial
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The Everson Biennial has been an important platform for contemporary art by New York State artists since its inception in 1974, offering an outlet for creative visual expression and facilitating lively conversations about both what contemporary art is and what it has the power to become. "Kindred Beasts" continues this tradition by presenting a carefully selected group of eight artists whose work focuses on the use of fiber and clay. Each artist interprets the medium in unique and innovative ways, while remaining deeply engaged with tradition and respectful of the past. Representing six counties across the state, the artists are Joe Fyfe, Jeffrey Gibson, Sarah Hewitt, Liz Lurie, Matt Nolen, Sarah Saulson, Bobby Silverman, and Linda Sormin.

Work Won't Kill You
SALTQuarters Gallery

Price: Free
SALTQuarters Gallery
115 Otisco St., Syracuse

In this ongoing installation and performance series, Patty Ortiz has constructed a simulated work environment that investigates the interaction between art and work in the lives of individuals and the life of the community. The WWKY workforce applies the tools of art in a forensic fashion through the collection and systematic examination of images from the Near Westside neighborhood; people, places and moments that reflect the history and character of this community. Ortiz and her workforce transform the documentation into an installation/performance to illustrate the similar nature of art, work and life.

In Poor Taste: The Genetically Modified Foods Kitchen
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

Created by Christine Chin, The Genetically Modified Foods Kitchen explores the controversial technology that allows us to transfer genes between species. Part human and part vegetable, Chin's vegetable-human hybrids make visible the usually invisible process of genetic modification. In the familiar context of a cookbook and a cooking show, these creations bring concerns about the ethics and politics of biotechnology into the domestic space. Playing with both humor and the grotesque, Chin's photographs encourage people to consider how technology affects our society and our dinner plates.
