Art
 

8:00 AM - 2:00 AM, March 5



Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus
LeMoyne College

Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College, Syracuse

Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely.

Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

Apartheid and Identity: Race. Place. Being.
SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium

SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
2 Clinton Square, Syracuse

The multimedia exhibition, under the direction of Oswego art department chair Cynthia Clabough, will explore the convergences between South Africans' struggles against apartheid and the American Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition, part of a collaboration titled "Race. Place. Being.," will pick up on themes raised by the play "Sizwe Banzi Is Dead" at Syracuse Stage and a display of Rochester native Matt Herron's civil rights-era photos at ArtRage Gallery.

The work of Herron, whose photographs from the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march and other pivotal civil rights events have appeared in publications around the world, will appear at "Race. Place. Being." venues on large banners on loan from the Birmingham Civil Right Institute.

Other artists represented in the SUNY Oswego Metro Center exhibition will include Ellen M. Blalock, Mike Greenlar, Dale Pierce, Mary Stanley, and Vanessa Johnson.

Though oceans separated apartheid and the Civil Rights Movement, both struggles hinged on how those seeking freedom succeeded in visually defining who they were. Each movement echoed the other's successes and setbacks. "Apartheid and Identity" focuses on such events as Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, begun in 1964, and the Soweto uprising; the 1965 Selma march and earlier violent attempts in the South to quell desegregation, and voting rights for African Americans.

Gallery Exhibition: Persistence of Vision: Works by Colleen Woolpert
Onondaga Community College

Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College, Syracuse

The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.

The Automobile: Design Considerations and Local Manifestations
Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center

Price: Free
Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University, Syracuse

"The Automobile" provides a sampling of the ways in which the automobile evolved in the Syracuse area and a glimpse into the innovations of some of the most significant mid-20th-century automobile designers. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the air-cooled Franklin car, the most famous of Syracuse's automobile lines, with its remarkably flexible and durable wooden frame.

The exhibition will also include drawings, sketches, and photographs from SCRC's industrial design collections by designers Howard A. Darrin, Claude Hill, Raymond Loewy, Budd Steinhilber, and Walter Dorwin Teague. Darrin was known for his designs for exotic luxury and sports cars. Claude Hill created some important concept car designs, while Raymond Loewy's photographs document a number of striking Studebaker model designs. Budd Steinhilber was a member of the design team for the revolutionary rear-engine 1948 Tucker automobile, and Walter Dorwin Teague designed for both the Ford Motor Company and the Marmon Motor Company.

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen
Light Work Gallery

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

In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz's "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape.

A number of Metz's colleagues received wide recognition for their similar investigations culminating in the seminal 1975 exhibition "The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape" at the Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. Metz never received the same level of acknowledgement. Now, 40 years later, his "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" is as powerful and relevant as ever, resonating with current interests in ecology and the everyday landscape.

Metz spent the month of August 1985 as an artist-in-residence at Light Work. Metz was the was a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder; director of Education at the International Center of Photography; and head of the photography department at the Rhode Island School of Design. He received NEA fellowships in photography in 1972 and 1980, and is represented in various collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, George Eastman House in Rochester, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester.

Xaviera Simmons: Accumulations
Light Work Gallery

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Light Work and Urban Video Project are proud to present concurrent exhibitions featuring the work of Xaviera Simmons, whose multidisciplinary artistic practice includes photography, sculpture, installation, sound art, video, and performance. "Accumulations" will be on view at Light Work through March 5 and "Number Sixteen" will be on view at UVP Everson through January 31.

"Accumulations" presents a group of large-scale, graphic photographic prints. At first glance, the images emerge as a series of complex and abstract collages. Closer inspection reveals a shaman-like figure: a skirt pulled over the face and a barrage of objects hanging from the body. Fabric, photos, feathers, palm fronds and other small things tumble across the center of the photographs; composing an explosion referent to race, culture, gender and sexuality. "Accumulations" works to both obscure and define identity.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy.

The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Women's Work: Feminist Art from the Everson's Collection
Everson Museum of Art

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

The Feminist Art Movement emerged in the late 1960s in various cities around the globe. Proponents of the movement sought to influence cultural attitudes and build a new framework for viewing the world, one that included and validated women's experiences. This group of artists did not conform to a single style or medium; instead, they united around ideas of producing art reflective of women's lives, transforming stereotypes, and drawing attention to women's historic contributions to art and society. Drawing from the Everson's collection, this exhibit brings together works by some of the most important artists of the Feminist Art Movement.

Suspended Memories: Works of Liene Bosquê
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Liene Bosquê has been interested in the history of vernacular as well as iconic architecture of small and big cities. In reinterpreting symbolic constructions into miniature sculptures that allude to travel souvenirs, the artist tackles not only concepts of collection, but also notions of personal and collective memories. Bosquê is interested in the meanings that human beings attach to places and objects, and how such experiences can serve as catalysts to alter public perspectives, inserting them into private domains.

In this first solo show in the United States, Bosquê explores the own history of the city of Syracuse, unearthing buildings that have been demolished and obliterated from the city's landscape. The artist will present works in various media, such as sculpture, installation, video, and imprints, portraying some of Syracuse's symbolic landmarks, which probably do not carry the same significance nationwide, thus transforming them into iconic constructions, worthy of being memorialized and reinserted within the history of the region and the country. By activating local remembrances, Bosquê emphasizes the importance of preserving places of symbolic affection in opposition to the constant renewing of the landscape in the name of progress and industrialization.

Opening: None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz
La Casita Cultural Center

La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St., Syracuse

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

In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work.

The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process.

Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that.

Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Jeannette Ehlers is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. A 2006 graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Ehlers' works revolve around the Danish slave trade in the colonial era. She is of Danish and Trinidadian parentage.

Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus
LeMoyne College

Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College, Syracuse

Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely.

Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

Apartheid and Identity: Race. Place. Being.
SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium

SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
2 Clinton Square, Syracuse

The multimedia exhibition, under the direction of Oswego art department chair Cynthia Clabough, will explore the convergences between South Africans' struggles against apartheid and the American Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition, part of a collaboration titled "Race. Place. Being.," will pick up on themes raised by the play "Sizwe Banzi Is Dead" at Syracuse Stage and a display of Rochester native Matt Herron's civil rights-era photos at ArtRage Gallery.

The work of Herron, whose photographs from the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march and other pivotal civil rights events have appeared in publications around the world, will appear at "Race. Place. Being." venues on large banners on loan from the Birmingham Civil Right Institute.

Other artists represented in the SUNY Oswego Metro Center exhibition will include Ellen M. Blalock, Mike Greenlar, Dale Pierce, Mary Stanley, and Vanessa Johnson.

Though oceans separated apartheid and the Civil Rights Movement, both struggles hinged on how those seeking freedom succeeded in visually defining who they were. Each movement echoed the other's successes and setbacks. "Apartheid and Identity" focuses on such events as Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, begun in 1964, and the Soweto uprising; the 1965 Selma march and earlier violent attempts in the South to quell desegregation, and voting rights for African Americans.

Gallery Exhibition: Persistence of Vision: Works by Colleen Woolpert
Onondaga Community College

Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College, Syracuse

The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen
Light Work Gallery

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

In the 1970s, the late photographer and educator Gary Metz generated a significant body of work that was very much in the spirit of the times. Metz's "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" challenged the first 100 years of landscape photography, which had placed a major emphasis on depicting nature as sublime, heroic and unspoiled. Unlike previous photographers who glorified nature, Metz and his contemporaries wrenched photography out of the national parks and replaced the scenic with the vernacular of the everyday American landscape.

A number of Metz's colleagues received wide recognition for their similar investigations culminating in the seminal 1975 exhibition "The New Topographics: Photographs of a Man-Altered Landscape" at the Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House. Metz never received the same level of acknowledgement. Now, 40 years later, his "Quaking Aspen: A Lyric Complaint" is as powerful and relevant as ever, resonating with current interests in ecology and the everyday landscape.

Metz spent the month of August 1985 as an artist-in-residence at Light Work. Metz was the was a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder; director of Education at the International Center of Photography; and head of the photography department at the Rhode Island School of Design. He received NEA fellowships in photography in 1972 and 1980, and is represented in various collections including the Museum of Modern Art in New York, George Eastman House in Rochester, the National Gallery of Canada, and the Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy.

The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Price: Suggested donation, $5 adults

The Feminist Art Movement emerged in the late 1960s in various cities around the globe. Proponents of the movement sought to influence cultural attitudes and build a new framework for viewing the world, one that included and validated women's experiences. This group of artists did not conform to a single style or medium; instead, they united around ideas of producing art reflective of women's lives, transforming stereotypes, and drawing attention to women's historic contributions to art and society. Drawing from the Everson's collection, this exhibit brings together works by some of the most important artists of the Feminist Art Movement.

None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz
La Casita Cultural Center

La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St., Syracuse

In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work.

The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process.

Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that.

Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Suspended Memories: Works of Liene Bosquê
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Liene Bosquê has been interested in the history of vernacular as well as iconic architecture of small and big cities. In reinterpreting symbolic constructions into miniature sculptures that allude to travel souvenirs, the artist tackles not only concepts of collection, but also notions of personal and collective memories. Bosquê is interested in the meanings that human beings attach to places and objects, and how such experiences can serve as catalysts to alter public perspectives, inserting them into private domains.

In this first solo show in the United States, Bosquê explores the own history of the city of Syracuse, unearthing buildings that have been demolished and obliterated from the city's landscape. The artist will present works in various media, such as sculpture, installation, video, and imprints, portraying some of Syracuse's symbolic landmarks, which probably do not carry the same significance nationwide, thus transforming them into iconic constructions, worthy of being memorialized and reinserted within the history of the region and the country. By activating local remembrances, Bosquê emphasizes the importance of preserving places of symbolic affection in opposition to the constant renewing of the landscape in the name of progress and industrialization.

The Pine Hill Project: Richard Shindell & Lucy Kaplansky

Price: $30 regular, $25 members
May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Two superstars of the contemporary singer-songwriter world, together on stage, performing songs from their new album and a deep history of musical collaborations.

Lucy Kaplansky and Richard Shindell have been singing together for 25 years. And their histories with the Folkus Project date back almost as long--if you include pre-Folkus appearances at Happy Endings starting in the mid-1990s. These are two of the area's favorite contemporary singer-songwriters, now teamed up on the Folkus stage for what promises to be one of CNY's most memorable folk/acoustic shows of the year.

Kaplansky and Shindell had talked about making a record together for years, and last summer they launched an extraordinarily successful Kickstarter campaign to bring that desire to fruition under the band name "The Pine Hill Project." "Tomorrow You're Going," an Americana masterwork of great songs, gorgeous harmonies, and stunning production, will be released later in 2015. The album is at turns meditative, joyful, rollicking, and deeply moving, and a one of a kind musical event.

Songs from this project, plus many other Shindell and Kaplansky classics the two have shared through the years, will be front-and-center at this not-to-be-missed Folkus event.

Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus
LeMoyne College

Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College, Syracuse

Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely.

Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

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

The Feminist Art Movement emerged in the late 1960s in various cities around the globe. Proponents of the movement sought to influence cultural attitudes and build a new framework for viewing the world, one that included and validated women's experiences. This group of artists did not conform to a single style or medium; instead, they united around ideas of producing art reflective of women's lives, transforming stereotypes, and drawing attention to women's historic contributions to art and society. Drawing from the Everson's collection, this exhibit brings together works by some of the most important artists of the Feminist Art Movement.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy.

The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Suspended Memories: Works of Liene Bosquê
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Liene Bosquê has been interested in the history of vernacular as well as iconic architecture of small and big cities. In reinterpreting symbolic constructions into miniature sculptures that allude to travel souvenirs, the artist tackles not only concepts of collection, but also notions of personal and collective memories. Bosquê is interested in the meanings that human beings attach to places and objects, and how such experiences can serve as catalysts to alter public perspectives, inserting them into private domains.

In this first solo show in the United States, Bosquê explores the own history of the city of Syracuse, unearthing buildings that have been demolished and obliterated from the city's landscape. The artist will present works in various media, such as sculpture, installation, video, and imprints, portraying some of Syracuse's symbolic landmarks, which probably do not carry the same significance nationwide, thus transforming them into iconic constructions, worthy of being memorialized and reinserted within the history of the region and the country. By activating local remembrances, Bosquê emphasizes the importance of preserving places of symbolic affection in opposition to the constant renewing of the landscape in the name of progress and industrialization.

Jeannette Ehlers is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. A 2006 graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Ehlers' works revolve around the Danish slave trade in the colonial era. She is of Danish and Trinidadian parentage.

An interesting new phenomenon was happening: composers were beginning to write instrumental music, not based on a text, but freely invented in their own minds. A major breakthrough in musical creativity!

Now, 40 years later, Kani directs his son, Atandwa Kani, in this new international production, co-produced with South Africa's Market Theatre and McCarter Theatre Center.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy.

The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Price: Suggested donation, $5 adults
Everson Museum of Art

The Feminist Art Movement emerged in the late 1960s in various cities around the globe. Proponents of the movement sought to influence cultural attitudes and build a new framework for viewing the world, one that included and validated women's experiences. This group of artists did not conform to a single style or medium; instead, they united around ideas of producing art reflective of women's lives, transforming stereotypes, and drawing attention to women's historic contributions to art and society. Drawing from the Everson's collection, this exhibit brings together works by some of the most important artists of the Feminist Art Movement.

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The exhibition features 35 masterworks, drawn from the permanent collection of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica. Prendergast to Pollock includes important paintings by many of the leading progressive and avant-garde American artists who shaped the history of American art in the first half of the 20th century, including, Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Arthur B. Davies (1862-1928), Arthur G. Dove (1880-1946), Arshile Gorky (1904-48), Edward Hopper (1882-1967), George B.

Additional works are drawn from the Everson Museum's permanent collection.

Through these paintings visitors will explore three kinds of traditional artistic subject matter: landscape, still life, and figurative work. Other works in the exhibition embody different manifestations of the mid-20th century art movement known as Abstract Expressionism—the first American art movement to receive international recognition and influence. In addition to the iconic beauty of the works in the exhibition, visitors will have an opportunity to observe how leading modern American artists depicted similar representational and abstract subject matter.

Docent-led tours are available at 2:00 pm daily at no additional cost. Check in at the Visitor Services Desk.

Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus
LeMoyne College

Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College, Syracuse

Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely.

Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

A 1996 setting of Rosa Mystica, composed for the Notre Dame Folk Choir, continues the contemporary theme, and the music then returns to the Renaissance period with Palestrina's Sicut Cervus. The reminder of the program consists of Jean Berger's A Rose Touched by the Sun's Warm Rays and three spirituals. The all-a cappella concert will close with America the Beautiful.

Apartheid and Identity: Race. Place. Being.
SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium

SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
2 Clinton Square, Syracuse

The multimedia exhibition, under the direction of Oswego art department chair Cynthia Clabough, will explore the convergences between South Africans' struggles against apartheid and the American Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition, part of a collaboration titled "Race. Place. Being.," will pick up on themes raised by the play "Sizwe Banzi Is Dead" at Syracuse Stage and a display of Rochester native Matt Herron's civil rights-era photos at ArtRage Gallery.

The work of Herron, whose photographs from the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march and other pivotal civil rights events have appeared in publications around the world, will appear at "Race. Place. Being." venues on large banners on loan from the Birmingham Civil Right Institute.

Other artists represented in the SUNY Oswego Metro Center exhibition will include Ellen M. Blalock, Mike Greenlar, Dale Pierce, Mary Stanley, and Vanessa Johnson.

Though oceans separated apartheid and the Civil Rights Movement, both struggles hinged on how those seeking freedom succeeded in visually defining who they were. Each movement echoed the other's successes and setbacks. "Apartheid and Identity" focuses on such events as Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, begun in 1964, and the Soweto uprising; the 1965 Selma march and earlier violent attempts in the South to quell desegregation, and voting rights for African Americans.

Onondaga Community College, Syracuse

The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.

None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz
La Casita Cultural Center

La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St., Syracuse

In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work.

The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process.

Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that.

Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely.

Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT.

Gallery Exhibition: Persistence of Vision: Works by Colleen Woolpert
Onondaga Community College

Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College, Syracuse

The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.

None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz
La Casita Cultural Center

La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St., Syracuse

In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work.

The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process.

Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that.

Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Suspended Memories: Works of Liene Bosquê
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Liene Bosquê has been interested in the history of vernacular as well as iconic architecture of small and big cities. In reinterpreting symbolic constructions into miniature sculptures that allude to travel souvenirs, the artist tackles not only concepts of collection, but also notions of personal and collective memories. Bosquê is interested in the meanings that human beings attach to places and objects, and how such experiences can serve as catalysts to alter public perspectives, inserting them into private domains.

In this first solo show in the United States, Bosquê explores the own history of the city of Syracuse, unearthing buildings that have been demolished and obliterated from the city's landscape. The artist will present works in various media, such as sculpture, installation, video, and imprints, portraying some of Syracuse's symbolic landmarks, which probably do not carry the same significance nationwide, thus transforming them into iconic constructions, worthy of being memorialized and reinserted within the history of the region and the country. By activating local remembrances, Bosquê emphasizes the importance of preserving places of symbolic affection in opposition to the constant renewing of the landscape in the name of progress and industrialization.

Apartheid and Identity: Race. Place. Being.
SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium

SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
2 Clinton Square, Syracuse

The multimedia exhibition, under the direction of Oswego art department chair Cynthia Clabough, will explore the convergences between South Africans' struggles against apartheid and the American Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition, part of a collaboration titled "Race. Place. Being.," will pick up on themes raised by the play "Sizwe Banzi Is Dead" at Syracuse Stage and a display of Rochester native Matt Herron's civil rights-era photos at ArtRage Gallery.

The work of Herron, whose photographs from the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march and other pivotal civil rights events have appeared in publications around the world, will appear at "Race. Place. Being." venues on large banners on loan from the Birmingham Civil Right Institute.

Other artists represented in the SUNY Oswego Metro Center exhibition will include Ellen M. Blalock, Mike Greenlar, Dale Pierce, Mary Stanley, and Vanessa Johnson.

Though oceans separated apartheid and the Civil Rights Movement, both struggles hinged on how those seeking freedom succeeded in visually defining who they were. Each movement echoed the other's successes and setbacks. "Apartheid and Identity" focuses on such events as Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, begun in 1964, and the Soweto uprising; the 1965 Selma march and earlier violent attempts in the South to quell desegregation, and voting rights for African Americans.

Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus
LeMoyne College

Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College, Syracuse

Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy.

The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Prendergast to Pollock includes important paintings by many of the leading progressive and avant-garde American artists who shaped the history of American art in the first half of the 20th century, including, Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Arthur B. Davies (1862-1928), Arthur G. Dove (1880-1946), Arshile Gorky (1904-48), Edward Hopper (1882-1967), George B.

Additional works are drawn from the Everson Museum's permanent collection.

Through these paintings visitors will explore three kinds of traditional artistic subject matter: landscape, still life, and figurative work.

This group of artists did not conform to a single style or medium; instead, they united around ideas of producing art reflective of women's lives, transforming stereotypes, and drawing attention to women's historic contributions to art and society. Drawing from the Everson's collection, this exhibit brings together works by some of the most important artists of the Feminist Art Movement.

None of That/Nada de eso, works by Juan Cruz
La Casita Cultural Center

La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St., Syracuse

In his exhibition None of That (in Spanish, Nada de eso), Juan Cruz reflects on his discontent, on what he describes as a futile attempt to communicate something, constantly seeking and not finding a more far-reaching meaning in his work.

The creative process has led the artist to reexamine his body of work from decades of painting and cut it to pieces. Cruz has been slicing many of his signature pieces, large canvases full of color in motion, and recomposing them into new works that combine bits from past works. The notion of the artist destroying his own work may seem a like a sort of violent act, but for Juan it is more of a calculated, profoundly meditated process.

Cruz seems to be expressing what comes from a deeply felt stir that is shared by so many of us in our own lives at certain times, when we try to make sense, searching for the meaning of it all, and finding none of that.

Juan Alberto Cruz was born in Cataño, Puerto Rico in 1941. His work has been recognized and presented in museums and galleries locally and statewide, as well as in his native Puerto Rico.

Suspended Memories: Works of Liene Bosquê
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Liene Bosquê has been interested in the history of vernacular as well as iconic architecture of small and big cities. In reinterpreting symbolic constructions into miniature sculptures that allude to travel souvenirs, the artist tackles not only concepts of collection, but also notions of personal and collective memories. Bosquê is interested in the meanings that human beings attach to places and objects, and how such experiences can serve as catalysts to alter public perspectives, inserting them into private domains.

In this first solo show in the United States, Bosquê explores the own history of the city of Syracuse, unearthing buildings that have been demolished and obliterated from the city's landscape. The artist will present works in various media, such as sculpture, installation, video, and imprints, portraying some of Syracuse's symbolic landmarks, which probably do not carry the same significance nationwide, thus transforming them into iconic constructions, worthy of being memorialized and reinserted within the history of the region and the country. By activating local remembrances, Bosquê emphasizes the importance of preserving places of symbolic affection in opposition to the constant renewing of the landscape in the name of progress and industrialization.

Selma to Montgomery March at 50: Civil Rights Photographs by Matt Herron
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

The 1965 Selma marches were pivotal events in the Civil Rights Movement, bringing international attention to the brutality of racist segregation and amplifying Alabama's denial of voting rights to African Americans. Herron's powerful photographs convey not just the political but the personal impact of this momentous struggle.

Herron's photos have appeared in virtually every major picture magazine in the world. Based in Mississippi in the early 60s, he covered the Civil Rights struggle for Life, Look, Time, Newsweek, and the Saturday Evening Post, as well as providing pictures for the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee (SNCC). His photographs are in the permanent collections of the George Eastman House, the Smithsonian Institution, the High Museum of Art, and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

Chris Trapper
Listening Room Acoustic Music Series

Price: $15 in advance, $20 at the door
Small Plates
116 Walton St., Syracuse

Chris Trapper began his career as the front man for late–90s alternative rock band The Push Stars. With four CD releases and several high profile national tours--including a run with Matchbox Twenty--The Push Stars served to establish Chris as an authentic talent.

The New York Times calls his work "classic pop perfection."

As a modern day singer–songwriter, Chris is most known for his song This Time, the Number 1 selling song on the Grammy nominated soundtrack for August Rush (Robin Williams, Jonathan Rhys Meyers – Warner Bros Pictures).

A prolific songwriter, Chris can boast high profile film placements including There's Something About Mary (Ben Stiller, Cameron Diaz), The Devil Wears Prada (Meryl Streep), Say It Isn't So (Heather Graham) and Gun Shy (Sandra Bullock, Liam Neeson) as well as significant television placements including All My Children, Women's Murder Club, Malcolm In The Middle, a coveted placement in George Clooney's final episode of ER, the theme song for WB Networks dramedy Pepper Dennis and a cameo on–screen appearance with the show's star, Rebecca Romjin.

Chris Trapper's music can best be described as lyrically driven roots–pop with a knack for telling everyday stories filled with extra–ordinary characters.

Trapper's live show is a favorite among fans of alt–acoustic music. His on–stage persona is warm and inclusive, his organic understanding of classic pop melody infectious. Audience members seem to particularly appreciate the lighthearted moments with the ukulele. They depart the venue at the end of the evening with the sense of having been truly entertained.

Apartheid and Identity: Race. Place. Being.
SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium

SUNY Oswego Metro Center at the Atrium
2 Clinton Square, Syracuse

The multimedia exhibition, under the direction of Oswego art department chair Cynthia Clabough, will explore the convergences between South Africans' struggles against apartheid and the American Civil Rights Movement. The exhibition, part of a collaboration titled "Race. Place. Being.," will pick up on themes raised by the play "Sizwe Banzi Is Dead" at Syracuse Stage and a display of Rochester native Matt Herron's civil rights-era photos at ArtRage Gallery.

The work of Herron, whose photographs from the Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march and other pivotal civil rights events have appeared in publications around the world, will appear at "Race. Place. Being." venues on large banners on loan from the Birmingham Civil Right Institute.

Other artists represented in the SUNY Oswego Metro Center exhibition will include Ellen M. Blalock, Mike Greenlar, Dale Pierce, Mary Stanley, and Vanessa Johnson.

Though oceans separated apartheid and the Civil Rights Movement, both struggles hinged on how those seeking freedom succeeded in visually defining who they were. Each movement echoed the other's successes and setbacks. "Apartheid and Identity" focuses on such events as Nelson Mandela's long imprisonment, begun in 1964, and the Soweto uprising; the 1965 Selma march and earlier violent attempts in the South to quell desegregation, and voting rights for African Americans.

Side by Side: Paintings by Claire Stankus
LeMoyne College

Wilson Art Gallery, Noreen Reale Falcone Library
LeMoyne College, Syracuse

Side by Side features paintings created in pairs. Spanning the last two years, these portraits, still life, and landscapes showcase the interaction between similar and repeated imagery. These paintings work together to identify relationships, and document subtle changes in time and mood. The figurative works explore parallel mannerisms in posed and candid portraits, while the landscapes and still life result from repeated observations of everyday perspectives. Routinely observing the same scenes everyday can illuminate how constant, mundane habits or surroundings develop new significance over time. Noticing these patterns in our lives reminds us how small and daily occurrences can become more memorable than a singular event, and encourages us to examine our environment a bit more closely.

Claire Stankus studied painting and ceramics at Syracuse University. In her junior year she traveled to Florence, Italy for a semester abroad to study painting and art history. She graduated with a BFA in Painting in 2012. She was awarded a scholarship to attend the School of Art at the Chautauqua Institution in 2012, and in 2013 spent a month painting at the Vermont Studio Center in Johnson, VT. She plans to enter an MFA program in the fall.

Gallery Exhibition: Persistence of Vision: Works by Colleen Woolpert
Onondaga Community College

Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College, Syracuse

The exhibition, Persistence of Vision, by local artist Colleen Woolpert, presents work in photography, video, and interactive objects and installations that originated with the artist's experience working with visually impaired adults in Seattle in 2013. Questions about visualization and navigating through darkness spurned ideas related to the "the great unknown" and space exploration. When an artist residency brought Woolpert to Syracuse in January 2014, the thread continued as an investigation of early motion picture innovations of the late 1800s in Syracuse, and ultimately the invention of her own optical device. The flicker of one image displacing the next is the persistent blink of light upon darkness.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy.

The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

This exhibition is presented as part of "Celestial Navigation: a year into the afro future", a year-long program of exhibitions and events at Urban Video Project and partner organizations that takes afrofuturism as its point of departure.

Jeannette Ehlers' haunting piece is inspired by the Haitian Revolution of 1791, which resulted in the world's first black republic. Filmed on location at La Citadelle in Haiti, the piece is a tribute to the act of revolt.

Jeannette Ehlers is based in Copenhagen, Denmark. A 2006 graduate of The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Ehlers' works revolve around the Danish slave trade in the colonial era. She is of Danish and Trinidadian parentage.

John Kani, director

Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Tony Award-winning South African classic by Athol Fugard, John Kani, and Winston Ntshona. In this intensely funny and poignant drama exploring the universal struggle for human dignity, a black man in apartheid-era South Africa tries to overcome oppressive work regulations to support his family. Co-creator John Kani performed in the original production and won the 1975 Tony Award for Best Actor. Now, 40 years later, Kani directs his son, Atandwa Kani, in this new international production, co-produced with South Africa's Market Theatre and McCarter Theatre Center.

The New Century
Rarely Done Productions

Jazz Central
441 E. Washington St., Syracuse

"The one-liners fly like rockets in The New Century, the rollicking bill of short plays by Paul Rudnick ... Building on time-honored traditions within gay and Jewish humor, Mr. Rudnick turns stereotypes into bullet-deflecting armor and jokes into an inexhaustible supply of ammunition ... Frivolity for his characters is a solid existential choice in a threatening universe." —NY Times

Starring Nora O'Dea, Frederick Morse, Alan Stillman, Patricia Catchouny and Gina Fortino.
