• aerial shots of the main and south campuses showing changes in the landscape;

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home
Light Work Gallery

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

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

Place: Selections from the Light Work Collection
Light Work Gallery

Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery
Schine Student Center, 306 University Ave., Syracuse

In sync with the Syracuse Symposium 2016-2017 theme of Place, this exhibition explores how "thinking about place, then, entails questions of cementing, contesting, and crossing boundaries, devising frameworks yet also disrupting them, setting and upsetting expectations." The photographs in this exhibition aim to comprehend the ever-evolving histories and relationships of a location, and the new understandings a photograph offers.

Pulled from the Light Work Collection, the exhibition highlights work by Admas Habteslasie, Amy Stein, Andrea Robbin and Max Becher, Beatrix Reinhardt, Brian Ulrich, Deborah Willis, Irina Rozovsky, James Casebere, Linda Connor, Margaret Stratton, Peter Finnemore, Robert Benjamin, Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris, Sylvia de Swaan, Viktor Lugansky, and William Earle WIlliams.

2016 Light Work Grants: Robert Knight, Lida Suchy, Marion Wilson
Light Work Gallery

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

Light Work is pleased to announce the 42nd annual Light Work Grants in Photography. The 2016 recipients are Robert Knight, Lida Suchy, and Marion Wilson. The Light Work Grants in Photography program is a part of Light Work's ongoing effort to provide support and encouragement to artists working in photography.

Robert Knight received an MFA in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design and a BA in Architecture and Economics from Yale University. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Danforth Museum of Art in Massachusetts, Jen Bekman Gallery in New York, the LaGrange Museum in Georgia, The Bascom in North Carolina, the Houston Center for Photography in Texas, and at photography festivals in Nantes, Le Mans and Arles, France. Recent solo exhibitions include Rated G at Gallery Kayafas, Boston, MA; In God's House at the Munson Williams Proctor Art Museum, Utica, NY; and Class of 2015 at the Wellin Museum of Art, Clinton, NY. His work is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and other private collections. Robert is currently Assistant Professor of Art at Hamilton College.

Lida Suchy is a first-generation American, born into a refugee family and often draws on this background as inspiration for her creative work. She earned a BA in cultural anthropology from SUNY Albany, an MA from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communication, and an MFA from the Yale University School of Art. Suchy taught photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and Hartwick College, she has led master workshops in the USA, Italy and Ukraine. She currently teaches at Onondaga Community College and mentors students both at home and abroad. In recognition of her creative work, Suchy's awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship, Fulbright Scholarship, a Light Work Artist Residency and a Light Work Grant, a NYSCA Grant, an ArtsLink Grant, and an International Research and Exchanges Fellowship. Suchy has exhibited in galleries in the USA and Europe. Her work is included in public collections at the Brooklyn Museum, Bibliothèque Nationale, George Eastman Museum, the Franko Museum, Kryvorivnya, Ukraine and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Marion Wilson has built collaborative partnerships with botanists, homeless people, students, and neighbors—accessing individual expertise and working non-hierarchically. Her own studio work uses artifacts of the photography industry in sculpture, painting and printed photographs; specifically researching and classifying endangered landscapes and useful and stress tolerant botanies. Wilson recently drove MossLab/The Mobile Field Station (a renovated RV as a mobile art and botany viewing lab) 1,600 miles from Syracuse to Miami as a special project for PULSE ART Fair 2015 collecting moss species and experiences of "first looking encounters" with species along the way. Wilson will have upcoming exhibitions and residencies at Schuykill Center for Art and Environment; McColl Center for the Arts in Charlotte, NC and Sculpture Space in Utica, NY. Her work has been published in Hyperallergic, The New York Times, Art in America and Sculpture Magazine.

Balcón Criollo
La Casita Cultural Center

La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St., Syracuse

La Casita Cultural Center, a program of the College of Arts and Sciences at SU, commemorates Hispanic Heritage Month (Sept. 15-Oct. 15) with back-to-back events devoted to Latinos in Baseball and a "Familia" themed community collective in its annual signature show, the "Balcón Criollo".

The Balcón Criollo 2016 exhibit features a gallery-wide installation of community-sourced photographs, family keepsakes, and meaningful pieces that celebrate our Latino family traditions, history and culture. This year, the show also features a new mural by local artist and Westside resident Juan A. Cruz, joined by Triana, a talented artist recently arrived from Cuba, now living in Syracuse.

The project also explores baseball, the national pastime, as a social and cultural force within U.S. Latino communities and across Latin America, as it advances into the second year of its ongoing program: "Latinos and Baseball: In the Barrios and the Big Leagues." This is part of a national community collecting and research initiative involving La Casita and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.

Pulled from the Light Work Collection, the exhibition highlights work by Admas Habteslasie, Amy Stein, Andrea Robbin and Max Becher, Beatrix Reinhardt, Brian Ulrich, Deborah Willis, Irina Rozovsky, James Casebere, Linda Connor, Margaret Stratton, Peter Finnemore, Robert Benjamin, Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris, Sylvia de Swaan, Viktor Lugansky, and William Earle WIlliams.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home
Light Work Gallery

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

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

The most dangerous threat we've ever faced meets a movement whose time has come, directed by Kelly Nyks and Jared P. Scott.

When it comes to climate change, why do we do so little when we know so much? Through a relentless investigation to find the answer, Disruption takes an unflinching look at the devastating consequences of our inaction. The exploration lays bare the terrifying science, the shattered political process, the unrelenting industry special interests and the civic stasis that have brought us to this social, moral and ecological crossroads. The film also takes us behind-the-scenes of the efforts to organize the largest climate rally in the history of the planet during the UN world climate summit. The film enlarges the issue beyond climate impacts and makes a compelling call for bold action that is strong enough to tip the balance to build a clean energy future.

The screening will be followed by a facilitated discussion.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home
Light Work Gallery

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

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

*SOLD OUT* Lizzie Borden Took an Axe

Price: $20
Barnes Hiscock Mansion
930 James St., Syracuse

A multiple-award winner, Garrett Heater's Lizzie Borden Took an Axe utilizes court transcripts and inquest testimonies to bring the drama to life in a chronologically faithful adaptation. Striving to be the most historically accurate play written regarding the notorious events, the audience is challenged in an unbiased manner to come to their own conclusions as to who perpetrated the crimes.

Set throughout the rooms of the mansion, the play recreates scenes leading up to and immediately after the 1892 double-murder of wealthy businessman Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby Durfee Gray Borden. Both were found mutilated in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts, by hatchet or axe and Andrew's 32 year old daughter Lizzie (step-daughter of Abby) was indicted and stood trial for the crime. She was eventually acquitted of the gruesome homicides and the crime has remained unsolved for over 120 years. Following her acquittal, Lizzie Borden remained in Fall River. Her friends and neighbors, once staunch supporters of her innocence, quickly left her side after the trial and she became a social pariah.

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe will thrill audiences once again this fall, having sold out of all performances at the Barnes-Hiscock Mansion over the past two years.

Tickets are available at 315-422-2445 or online at www.grbarnes.org/lizzie-borden-took-an-axe.

The Light Work Grants in Photography program is a part of Light Work's ongoing effort to provide support and encouragement to artists working in photography.

Robert Knight received an MFA in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design and a BA in Architecture and Economics from Yale University. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Danforth Museum of Art in Massachusetts, Jen Bekman Gallery in New York, the LaGrange Museum in Georgia, The Bascom in North Carolina, the Houston Center for Photography in Texas, and at photography festivals in Nantes, Le Mans and Arles, France.

His work is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and other private collections. Robert is currently Assistant Professor of Art at Hamilton College.

Lida Suchy is a first-generation American, born into a refugee family and often draws on this background as inspiration for her creative work. She earned a BA in cultural anthropology from SUNY Albany, an MA from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communication, and an MFA from the Yale University School of Art. Suchy taught photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and Hartwick College, she has led master workshops in the USA, Italy and Ukraine.

Marion Wilson has built collaborative partnerships with botanists, homeless people, students, and neighbors—accessing individual expertise and working non-hierarchically. Her own studio work uses artifacts of the photography industry in sculpture, painting and printed photographs; specifically researching and classifying endangered landscapes and useful and stress tolerant botanies. Wilson recently drove MossLab/The Mobile Field Station (a renovated RV as a mobile art and botany viewing lab) 1,600 miles from Syracuse to Miami as a special project for PULSE ART Fair 2015 collecting moss species and experiences of "first looking encounters" with species along the way.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home
Light Work Gallery

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

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

Angela Fraleigh: Between Tongue and Teeth
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Angela Fraleigh, based in New York City and Allentown, co-opts the techniques, media, and styles of the European Old Masters to create monumental paintings of female figures that explore social constructs of gender, power, and identity. Combining abstraction and realism, her visually seductive and complicated paintings reflect on art history, literature, and popular culture. For the Everson, Fraleigh presents new paintings inspired by works in the Everson's collection, women of the Arts and Crafts movement and important female figures in the history of Central New York.

*SOLD OUT* Lizzie Borden Took an Axe

Price: $20
Barnes Hiscock Mansion
930 James St., Syracuse

A multiple-award winner, Garrett Heater's Lizzie Borden Took an Axe utilizes court transcripts and inquest testimonies to bring the drama to life in a chronologically faithful adaptation. Striving to be the most historically accurate play written regarding the notorious events, the audience is challenged in an unbiased manner to come to their own conclusions as to who perpetrated the crimes.

Set throughout the rooms of the mansion, the play recreates scenes leading up to and immediately after the 1892 double-murder of wealthy businessman Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby Durfee Gray Borden. Both were found mutilated in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts, by hatchet or axe and Andrew's 32 year old daughter Lizzie (step-daughter of Abby) was indicted and stood trial for the crime. She was eventually acquitted of the gruesome homicides and the crime has remained unsolved for over 120 years. Following her acquittal, Lizzie Borden remained in Fall River. Her friends and neighbors, once staunch supporters of her innocence, quickly left her side after the trial and she became a social pariah.

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe will thrill audiences once again this fall, having sold out of all performances at the Barnes-Hiscock Mansion over the past two years.

Tickets are available at 315-422-2445 or online at www.grbarnes.org/lizzie-borden-took-an-axe.

Her work will also be available in a collection of fabric this fall.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home
Light Work Gallery

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

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

The Light Work Grants in Photography program is a part of Light Work's ongoing effort to provide support and encouragement to artists working in photography.

Robert Knight received an MFA in Photography from the Massachusetts College of Art & Design and a BA in Architecture and Economics from Yale University. His work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, including at the Danforth Museum of Art in Massachusetts, Jen Bekman Gallery in New York, the LaGrange Museum in Georgia, The Bascom in North Carolina, the Houston Center for Photography in Texas, and at photography festivals in Nantes, Le Mans and Arles, France.

His work is in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and other private collections. Robert is currently Assistant Professor of Art at Hamilton College.

Lida Suchy is a first-generation American, born into a refugee family and often draws on this background as inspiration for her creative work. She earned a BA in cultural anthropology from SUNY Albany, an MA from Syracuse University's Newhouse School of Public Communication, and an MFA from the Yale University School of Art. Suchy taught photography at Rochester Institute of Technology and Hartwick College, she has led master workshops in the USA, Italy and Ukraine.

In recognition of her creative work, Suchy's awards include a Guggenheim Fellowship, Fulbright Scholarship, a Light Work Artist Residency and a Light Work Grant, a NYSCA Grant, an ArtsLink Grant, and an International Research and Exchanges Fellowship. Suchy has exhibited in galleries in the USA and Europe. Her work is included in public collections at the Brooklyn Museum, Bibliothèque Nationale, George Eastman Museum, the Franko Museum, Kryvorivnya, Ukraine and the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art.

Marion Wilson has built collaborative partnerships with botanists, homeless people, students, and neighbors—accessing individual expertise and working non-hierarchically. Her own studio work uses artifacts of the photography industry in sculpture, painting and printed photographs; specifically researching and classifying endangered landscapes and useful and stress tolerant botanies. Wilson recently drove MossLab/The Mobile Field Station (a renovated RV as a mobile art and botany viewing lab) 1,600 miles from Syracuse to Miami as a special project for PULSE ART Fair 2015 collecting moss species and experiences of "first looking encounters" with species along the way. Wilson will have upcoming exhibitions and residencies at Schuykill Center for Art and Environment; McColl Center for the Arts in Charlotte, NC and Sculpture Space in Utica, NY. Her work has been published in Hyperallergic, The New York Times, Art in America and Sculpture Magazine.

Place: Selections from the Light Work Collection
Light Work Gallery

Robert B. Menschel Photography Gallery
Schine Student Center, 306 University Ave., Syracuse

In sync with the Syracuse Symposium 2016-2017 theme of Place, this exhibition explores how "thinking about place, then, entails questions of cementing, contesting, and crossing boundaries, devising frameworks yet also disrupting them, setting and upsetting expectations." The photographs in this exhibition aim to comprehend the ever-evolving histories and relationships of a location, and the new understandings a photograph offers.

Pulled from the Light Work Collection, the exhibition highlights work by Admas Habteslasie, Amy Stein, Andrea Robbin and Max Becher, Beatrix Reinhardt, Brian Ulrich, Deborah Willis, Irina Rozovsky, James Casebere, Linda Connor, Margaret Stratton, Peter Finnemore, Robert Benjamin, Susannah Sayler and Edward Morris, Sylvia de Swaan, Viktor Lugansky, and William Earle WIlliams.

The project also explores baseball, the national pastime, as a social and cultural force within U.S. Latino communities and across Latin America, as it advances into the second year of its ongoing program: "Latinos and Baseball: In the Barrios and the Big Leagues." This is part of a national community collecting and research initiative involving La Casita and the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History.
