The Way I See It Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"The Way I See It" is a selection of photographs made by Syracuse City School students in response to the street photography of Helen Levitt and others. Working in collaboration with Syracuse University's Photography and Literacy Project (PAL Project), students from Edward Smith School, South West Community Center, and Institute of Technology at Central were given cameras and asked to document their world. Classes met weekly with Syracuse University student mentors, and students viewed and discussed the work of Levitt and contemporary photographers, edited their photographs and discussed the elements of picture making. Above all, the students learned that the camera can be a tool to tell a story and give a voice — a voice that deserves to be heard.

From Paris to Syracuse: Street Photography from the Collections of the Everson and Light Work Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
From 19th-century Parisian boulevards to late 20th-century scenes of downtown Syracuse, the images included in this exhibition explore the many diverse aspects of life in the city: busy shopfronts and beach boardwalks, crowded fairs, and quiet parks and streets teeming with or devoid of human presence. Featuring over 60 works by 22 photographers, the exhibition includes examples by such internationally known figures as Eugène Atget, Manuel Álvarez Bravo, Robert Doisneau and Garry Winogrand, as well as photographers who have worked locally, such as Toren Beasley, Michael Davis and Bruce Gilden.

Helen Levitt: In the Street Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
For more than 70 years, Helen Levitt used her camera to capture fresh and unstudied views of everyday life in the streets of New York City. Levitt's photographs, in both black and white and color, document neighborhood matriarchs on their front stoops, pedestrians negotiating New York's busy sidewalks, and boisterous children at play. In her work, Levitt successfully captures people of every age, race, and class, without attempting to impose social commentary. This exhibition, organized by the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia, features a range of photographs spanning Levitt's long career, and includes scenes shot in New York City, New Hampshire, and Mexico.

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.

Poetry of Content: Five Contemporary Representational Artists Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding. With few exceptions, imagery that incorporates a realistic visual space, modeled figures and natural surroundings is largely absent from the lexicon of art making. Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

Pin the Tail: Works by Catalina Schliebener Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Pin the Tail is a site-specific installation based on four photographs found by the artist, Catalina Schliebener, at a garage sale in New York City in 2014. The photographs, which depict children playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, became the catalyst for this exhibition with the addition of other found objects that relate symbolically or in form. The concept of Pin the Tail started to arise through the discovery of these objects and the potential formal and semantic relationships among them. Just as in children's stories and songs, children's games involve a subtle normative character through which children indirectly learn rules of behavior, socialize, and acquire specific roles that will later be reproduced in the adult world. Schliebener is interested in working with icons related to youth that implicitly reveal norms associated with the construction of gender, identity, and class. In Pin the Tail, she analyzes and deconstructs the normative character and functionality of the game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. By doing so, Schliebener calls into question the nature of these objects by practicing new discourses in which they are not dependent upon the system that produced them.

Opening: Blackout: Through the Veiled Eyes of Others ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
There will be an opening reception this evening 7:00-9:00 pm. Racist Memorabilia from the Collection of William Berry, Jr. Berry's collection highlights how ordinary household artifacts have distorted how generations of Americans view people of African descent as somehow less than human. Mainstream media may refer to a post-racial 21st-century America, but stereotypes and distortions of Black people persist nonetheless. This exhibition invites viewers to confront how everyday objects support and perpetuate racism. "I remember at a certain point in time there was an argument that Black people should seek to have this stuff destroyed," says Berry. "My position was that you always want to remember what happens when you allow someone to define who you are."

Sweeney Todd Baldwinsville Theatre Guild Korrie Taylor, director
Price: $25 in advance, $30 at the door First Presbyterian Church of Baldwinsville
64 Oswego St.,
Baldwinsville
One of the darkest musicals ever written, Sweeney Todd: A Musical Thriller is the unsettling tale of a Victorian-era barber who returns home to London after 15 years of exile to take revenge on the corrupt judge who ruined his life. When revenge eludes him, Sweeney swears vengeance on the entire human race, murdering as many people as he can, while his business associate Mrs. Lovett bakes the bodies into meat pies and sells them to the unsuspecting public. Perhaps composer/lyricist Stephen Sondheim's most perfect score, Sweeney Todd is lush, operatic, and full of soaring beauty, pitch-black comedy and stunning terror. It's one of the signal achievements of the American musical theater of the last 50 years, and it's the high water mark of Sondheim's six remarkable collaborations with director Harold Prince. Music directed by Abel Searor.

With Helena and Demetrius in hot pursuit, they — and some well-meaning, artistically challenged local Thespians — run right into a magical free-for-all between Lumberjack Oberon, the Fairy King, and Hippy Titania, his Fairy Queen. It's a wild night for lovers and lunatics, swirling with Adirondack-inspired flourishes, in this family-friendly comedy by William Shakespeare.

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 Way I See It Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"The Way I See It" is a selection of photographs made by Syracuse City School students in response to the street photography of Helen Levitt and others. Working in collaboration with Syracuse University's Photography and Literacy Project (PAL Project), students from Edward Smith School, South West Community Center, and Institute of Technology at Central were given cameras and asked to document their world. Classes met weekly with Syracuse University student mentors, and students viewed and discussed the work of Levitt and contemporary photographers, edited their photographs and discussed the elements of picture making. Above all, the students learned that the camera can be a tool to tell a story and give a voice — a voice that deserves to be heard.

Helen Levitt: In the Street Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
For more than 70 years, Helen Levitt used her camera to capture fresh and unstudied views of everyday life in the streets of New York City. Levitt's photographs, in both black and white and color, document neighborhood matriarchs on their front stoops, pedestrians negotiating New York's busy sidewalks, and boisterous children at play. In her work, Levitt successfully captures people of every age, race, and class, without attempting to impose social commentary. This exhibition, organized by the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia, features a range of photographs spanning Levitt's long career, and includes scenes shot in New York City, New Hampshire, and Mexico.

La Boheme Syracuse Opera Christian Capocaccia, director
Crouse Hinds Concert Theater, Mulroy Civic Center
411 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
La Boheme tells of the doomed love between struggling poet Rodolfo and seamstress Mimi. Their love is an all-consuming one, yet it's ultimately dashed by the poverty which surrounds them. Since its premiere in 1896, La Boheme has grown into one of the most beloved operas in the world, with only Puccini's other masterwork Madama Butterfly rivalling it for sheer popularity. Puccini's unmatched gift for melody adds remarkable poignancy to the simple joys and heartbreaking sorrows making La Boheme easy to love - and impossible to forget.

Stupid F***ing Bird Syracuse Stage Howard Shalwitz, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
A ripe mash-up of mock and awe marks this irreverent, contemporary, and very funny remix of Chekhov's The Seagull. Award-winning playwright Aaron Posner wages a timeless battle between young and old, past and present, in search of the true meaning of it all. An aspiring young director rampages against the art created by his mother's generation. A nubile young actress wrestles with an aging Hollywood star for the affections of a renowned novelist. And everyone discovers just how disappointing love, art, and growing up can be. A huge hit for D.C.'s Woolly Mammoth Theatre where it has been revived twice and performed to sold-out houses.

Black Utopias Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Co-curated by Dr. Joan Bryant, associate professor in the African American Studies Department, and Dr. Lucy Mulroney, interim senior director of the Special Collections Research Center, "Black Utopias" commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the best-selling narrative of one of the most prominent men of the Civil Rights era. This anniversary holds special significance for Syracuse University because the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is home to the records of Grove Press, the avant-garde publisher of the Autobiography. Grove hailed the book as one of its "most important" publications. The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out before it was released in October 1965. "Black Utopias" takes the personal transformations that form the narrative arc of Malcolm X's Autobiography as the framework for exploring a range of utopian visions that have shaped Black American life. Although utopias are, by definition, the stuff of dreams, the examples presented in this exhibition are firmly rooted in historical experiences of subjugation, inequality, and injustice. They are at once visionary and modest endeavors to craft worlds of freedom, unity, power, equality, and beauty. The exhibit will feature the handwritten letter that Malcolm X sent to Alex Haley during his pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as other unique and rare materials from the collections. It includes documents by little-known individuals and such prominent figures as W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Madam C. J. Walker, James Ford, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Big Will and Friends Syracuse University School of Art and Design
Price: Free Rodger Mack Gallery, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University campus,
Syracuse
The exhibition Big Will and Friends investigates the optical effects, figural relationships, and illusions found in wallpaper and ways in which these domestic images and decorations shape space and impact our social relations. Big Will and Friends is a collaboration by Syracuse Architecture Assistant Professor Jonathan Louie and SU:VPA Associate Dean and Professor Stephen Zaima. Structured as a series of three 7-foot-by-7-foot shotgun house-type wallpapered rooms within the gallery's linear space, Big Will will invite visitors—"friends"—to be part of, and alter, the perceptual and visual experience of the objects in the space. Through his work, Louie exploits the logics of wallpaper design to construct a habitable series of rooms, imprinted wearable suits, and a series of wallpaper prints. Hung on the walls will be a series of architectural collages by Zaima.

Poetry of Content: Five Contemporary Representational Artists Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding. With few exceptions, imagery that incorporates a realistic visual space, modeled figures and natural surroundings is largely absent from the lexicon of art making. Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

Pin the Tail: Works by Catalina Schliebener Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Pin the Tail is a site-specific installation based on four photographs found by the artist, Catalina Schliebener, at a garage sale in New York City in 2014. The photographs, which depict children playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, became the catalyst for this exhibition with the addition of other found objects that relate symbolically or in form. The concept of Pin the Tail started to arise through the discovery of these objects and the potential formal and semantic relationships among them. Just as in children's stories and songs, children's games involve a subtle normative character through which children indirectly learn rules of behavior, socialize, and acquire specific roles that will later be reproduced in the adult world. Schliebener is interested in working with icons related to youth that implicitly reveal norms associated with the construction of gender, identity, and class. In Pin the Tail, she analyzes and deconstructs the normative character and functionality of the game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. By doing so, Schliebener calls into question the nature of these objects by practicing new discourses in which they are not dependent upon the system that produced them.

Black Utopias Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
There will be a Black History Month exhibit reception this evening 5:00-6:00 pm. Co-curated by Dr. Joan Bryant, associate professor in the African American Studies Department, and Dr. Lucy Mulroney, interim senior director of the Special Collections Research Center, "Black Utopias" commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the best-selling narrative of one of the most prominent men of the Civil Rights era. This anniversary holds special significance for Syracuse University because the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is home to the records of Grove Press, the avant-garde publisher of the Autobiography. Grove hailed the book as one of its "most important" publications. The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out before it was released in October 1965. "Black Utopias" takes the personal transformations that form the narrative arc of Malcolm X's Autobiography as the framework for exploring a range of utopian visions that have shaped Black American life. Although utopias are, by definition, the stuff of dreams, the examples presented in this exhibition are firmly rooted in historical experiences of subjugation, inequality, and injustice. They are at once visionary and modest endeavors to craft worlds of freedom, unity, power, equality, and beauty. The exhibit will feature the handwritten letter that Malcolm X sent to Alex Haley during his pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as other unique and rare materials from the collections. It includes documents by little-known individuals and such prominent figures as W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Madam C. J. Walker, James Ford, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Big Will and Friends Syracuse University School of Art and Design
Price: Free Rodger Mack Gallery, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University campus,
Syracuse
The exhibition Big Will and Friends investigates the optical effects, figural relationships, and illusions found in wallpaper and ways in which these domestic images and decorations shape space and impact our social relations. Big Will and Friends is a collaboration by Syracuse Architecture Assistant Professor Jonathan Louie and SU:VPA Associate Dean and Professor Stephen Zaima. Structured as a series of three 7-foot-by-7-foot shotgun house-type wallpapered rooms within the gallery's linear space, Big Will will invite visitors—"friends"—to be part of, and alter, the perceptual and visual experience of the objects in the space. Through his work, Louie exploits the logics of wallpaper design to construct a habitable series of rooms, imprinted wearable suits, and a series of wallpaper prints. Hung on the walls will be a series of architectural collages by Zaima.

Poetry of Content: Five Contemporary Representational Artists Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding. With few exceptions, imagery that incorporates a realistic visual space, modeled figures and natural surroundings is largely absent from the lexicon of art making. Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

Helen Levitt: In the Street Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
For more than 70 years, Helen Levitt used her camera to capture fresh and unstudied views of everyday life in the streets of New York City. Levitt's photographs, in both black and white and color, document neighborhood matriarchs on their front stoops, pedestrians negotiating New York's busy sidewalks, and boisterous children at play. In her work, Levitt successfully captures people of every age, race, and class, without attempting to impose social commentary. This exhibition, organized by the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia, features a range of photographs spanning Levitt's long career, and includes scenes shot in New York City, New Hampshire, and Mexico.

"The Way I See It" is a selection of photographs made by Syracuse City School students in response to the street photography of Helen Levitt and others. Working in collaboration with Syracuse University's Photography and Literacy Project (PAL Project), students from Edward Smith School, South West Community Center, and Institute of Technology at Central were given cameras and asked to document their world. Classes met weekly with Syracuse University student mentors, and students viewed and discussed the work of Levitt and contemporary photographers, edited their photographs and discussed the elements of picture making. Above all, the students learned that the camera can be a tool to tell a story and give a voice — a voice that deserves to be heard.

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.

Blackout: Through the Veiled Eyes of Others ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
Racist Memorabilia from the Collection of William Berry, Jr. Berry's collection highlights how ordinary household artifacts have distorted how generations of Americans view people of African descent as somehow less than human. Mainstream media may refer to a post-racial 21st-century America, but stereotypes and distortions of Black people persist nonetheless. This exhibition invites viewers to confront how everyday objects support and perpetuate racism. "I remember at a certain point in time there was an argument that Black people should seek to have this stuff destroyed," says Berry. "My position was that you always want to remember what happens when you allow someone to define who you are."

Hermia loves "bad boy" Lysander, but her father wants her to marry Demetrius, who's also the heartthrob of her best-friend-forever, Helena. Threatened with death or a convent if she doesn't do what Daddy wants, Hermia and Lysander head for the woods. With Helena and Demetrius in hot pursuit, they — and some well-meaning, artistically challenged local Thespians — run right into a magical free-for-all between Lumberjack Oberon, the Fairy King, and Hippy Titania, his Fairy Queen. It's a wild night for lovers and lunatics, swirling with Adirondack-inspired flourishes, in this family-friendly comedy by William Shakespeare.

Black Utopias Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Co-curated by Dr. Joan Bryant, associate professor in the African American Studies Department, and Dr. Lucy Mulroney, interim senior director of the Special Collections Research Center, "Black Utopias" commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the best-selling narrative of one of the most prominent men of the Civil Rights era. This anniversary holds special significance for Syracuse University because the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is home to the records of Grove Press, the avant-garde publisher of the Autobiography. Grove hailed the book as one of its "most important" publications. The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out before it was released in October 1965. "Black Utopias" takes the personal transformations that form the narrative arc of Malcolm X's Autobiography as the framework for exploring a range of utopian visions that have shaped Black American life. Although utopias are, by definition, the stuff of dreams, the examples presented in this exhibition are firmly rooted in historical experiences of subjugation, inequality, and injustice. They are at once visionary and modest endeavors to craft worlds of freedom, unity, power, equality, and beauty. The exhibit will feature the handwritten letter that Malcolm X sent to Alex Haley during his pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as other unique and rare materials from the collections. It includes documents by little-known individuals and such prominent figures as W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Madam C. J. Walker, James Ford, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Big Will and Friends Syracuse University School of Art and Design
Price: Free Rodger Mack Gallery, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University campus,
Syracuse
The exhibition Big Will and Friends investigates the optical effects, figural relationships, and illusions found in wallpaper and ways in which these domestic images and decorations shape space and impact our social relations. Big Will and Friends is a collaboration by Syracuse Architecture Assistant Professor Jonathan Louie and SU:VPA Associate Dean and Professor Stephen Zaima. Structured as a series of three 7-foot-by-7-foot shotgun house-type wallpapered rooms within the gallery's linear space, Big Will will invite visitors—"friends"—to be part of, and alter, the perceptual and visual experience of the objects in the space. Through his work, Louie exploits the logics of wallpaper design to construct a habitable series of rooms, imprinted wearable suits, and a series of wallpaper prints. Hung on the walls will be a series of architectural collages by Zaima.

Poetry of Content: Five Contemporary Representational Artists Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding. With few exceptions, imagery that incorporates a realistic visual space, modeled figures and natural surroundings is largely absent from the lexicon of art making. Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

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 Way I See It Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"The Way I See It" is a selection of photographs made by Syracuse City School students in response to the street photography of Helen Levitt and others. Working in collaboration with Syracuse University's Photography and Literacy Project (PAL Project), students from Edward Smith School, South West Community Center, and Institute of Technology at Central were given cameras and asked to document their world. Classes met weekly with Syracuse University student mentors, and students viewed and discussed the work of Levitt and contemporary photographers, edited their photographs and discussed the elements of picture making. Above all, the students learned that the camera can be a tool to tell a story and give a voice — a voice that deserves to be heard.

Helen Levitt: In the Street Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
For more than 70 years, Helen Levitt used her camera to capture fresh and unstudied views of everyday life in the streets of New York City. Levitt's photographs, in both black and white and color, document neighborhood matriarchs on their front stoops, pedestrians negotiating New York's busy sidewalks, and boisterous children at play. In her work, Levitt successfully captures people of every age, race, and class, without attempting to impose social commentary. This exhibition, organized by the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia, features a range of photographs spanning Levitt's long career, and includes scenes shot in New York City, New Hampshire, and Mexico.

Pin the Tail: Works by Catalina Schliebener Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Pin the Tail is a site-specific installation based on four photographs found by the artist, Catalina Schliebener, at a garage sale in New York City in 2014. The photographs, which depict children playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, became the catalyst for this exhibition with the addition of other found objects that relate symbolically or in form. The concept of Pin the Tail started to arise through the discovery of these objects and the potential formal and semantic relationships among them. Just as in children's stories and songs, children's games involve a subtle normative character through which children indirectly learn rules of behavior, socialize, and acquire specific roles that will later be reproduced in the adult world. Schliebener is interested in working with icons related to youth that implicitly reveal norms associated with the construction of gender, identity, and class. In Pin the Tail, she analyzes and deconstructs the normative character and functionality of the game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. By doing so, Schliebener calls into question the nature of these objects by practicing new discourses in which they are not dependent upon the system that produced them.

Blackout: Through the Veiled Eyes of Others ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery

Racist Memorabilia from the Collection of William Berry, Jr. Berry's collection highlights how ordinary household artifacts have distorted how generations of Americans view people of African descent as somehow less than human. Mainstream media may refer to a post-racial 21st-century America, but stereotypes and distortions of Black people persist nonetheless. This exhibition invites viewers to confront how everyday objects support and perpetuate racism. "I remember at a certain point in time there was an argument that Black people should seek to have this stuff destroyed," says Berry. "My position was that you always want to remember what happens when you allow someone to define who you are."

Love Is a Verb Palace Theatre

"Love Is a Verb" is an examination of a social movement of Sufi-inspired Muslims that began in Turkey in the 1960s and now reaches across the globe. The group is called Hizmet, the Turkish word for service, or The Gulen Movement after its inspiration, leader and beloved teacher Fethullah Gulen, a man that Time Magazine named as one of the most influential leaders in the world in 2013. As it is explained to us in this film by Marcia Hermansen, Director of the Islamic World Studies, Loyola University of Chicago: "This movement is not about individual enlightenment, this is about making the world a better place. But while making the world a better place, at the same time, this altruism is also transformative."

Black Utopias Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Co-curated by Dr. Joan Bryant, associate professor in the African American Studies Department, and Dr. Lucy Mulroney, interim senior director of the Special Collections Research Center, "Black Utopias" commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the best-selling narrative of one of the most prominent men of the Civil Rights era. This anniversary holds special significance for Syracuse University because the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is home to the records of Grove Press, the avant-garde publisher of the Autobiography. Grove hailed the book as one of its "most important" publications. The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out before it was released in October 1965. "Black Utopias" takes the personal transformations that form the narrative arc of Malcolm X's Autobiography as the framework for exploring a range of utopian visions that have shaped Black American life. Although utopias are, by definition, the stuff of dreams, the examples presented in this exhibition are firmly rooted in historical experiences of subjugation, inequality, and injustice. They are at once visionary and modest endeavors to craft worlds of freedom, unity, power, equality, and beauty. The exhibit will feature the handwritten letter that Malcolm X sent to Alex Haley during his pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as other unique and rare materials from the collections. It includes documents by little-known individuals and such prominent figures as W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Madam C. J. Walker, James Ford, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Big Will and Friends Syracuse University School of Art and Design
Price: Free Rodger Mack Gallery, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University campus,
Syracuse
The exhibition Big Will and Friends investigates the optical effects, figural relationships, and illusions found in wallpaper and ways in which these domestic images and decorations shape space and impact our social relations. Big Will and Friends is a collaboration by Syracuse Architecture Assistant Professor Jonathan Louie and SU:VPA Associate Dean and Professor Stephen Zaima. Structured as a series of three 7-foot-by-7-foot shotgun house-type wallpapered rooms within the gallery's linear space, Big Will will invite visitors—"friends"—to be part of, and alter, the perceptual and visual experience of the objects in the space. Through his work, Louie exploits the logics of wallpaper design to construct a habitable series of rooms, imprinted wearable suits, and a series of wallpaper prints. Hung on the walls will be a series of architectural collages by Zaima.

Poetry of Content: Five Contemporary Representational Artists Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding. With few exceptions, imagery that incorporates a realistic visual space, modeled figures and natural surroundings is largely absent from the lexicon of art making. Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

The Way I See It Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"The Way I See It" is a selection of photographs made by Syracuse City School students in response to the street photography of Helen Levitt and others. Working in collaboration with Syracuse University's Photography and Literacy Project (PAL Project), students from Edward Smith School, South West Community Center, and Institute of Technology at Central were given cameras and asked to document their world. Classes met weekly with Syracuse University student mentors, and students viewed and discussed the work of Levitt and contemporary photographers, edited their photographs and discussed the elements of picture making. Above all, the students learned that the camera can be a tool to tell a story and give a voice — a voice that deserves to be heard.

Helen Levitt: In the Street Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
For more than 70 years, Helen Levitt used her camera to capture fresh and unstudied views of everyday life in the streets of New York City. Levitt's photographs, in both black and white and color, document neighborhood matriarchs on their front stoops, pedestrians negotiating New York's busy sidewalks, and boisterous children at play. In her work, Levitt successfully captures people of every age, race, and class, without attempting to impose social commentary. This exhibition, organized by the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia, features a range of photographs spanning Levitt's long career, and includes scenes shot in New York City, New Hampshire, and Mexico.

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

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.

Pin the Tail: Works by Catalina Schliebener Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Pin the Tail is a site-specific installation based on four photographs found by the artist, Catalina Schliebener, at a garage sale in New York City in 2014. The photographs, which depict children playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, became the catalyst for this exhibition with the addition of other found objects that relate symbolically or in form. The concept of Pin the Tail started to arise through the discovery of these objects and the potential formal and semantic relationships among them. Just as in children's stories and songs, children's games involve a subtle normative character through which children indirectly learn rules of behavior, socialize, and acquire specific roles that will later be reproduced in the adult world. Schliebener is interested in working with icons related to youth that implicitly reveal norms associated with the construction of gender, identity, and class. In Pin the Tail, she analyzes and deconstructs the normative character and functionality of the game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. By doing so, Schliebener calls into question the nature of these objects by practicing new discourses in which they are not dependent upon the system that produced them.

Blackout: Through the Veiled Eyes of Others ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery

Racist Memorabilia from the Collection of William Berry, Jr. Berry's collection highlights how ordinary household artifacts have distorted how generations of Americans view people of African descent as somehow less than human. Mainstream media may refer to a post-racial 21st-century America, but stereotypes and distortions of Black people persist nonetheless. This exhibition invites viewers to confront how everyday objects support and perpetuate racism. "I remember at a certain point in time there was an argument that Black people should seek to have this stuff destroyed," says Berry. "My position was that you always want to remember what happens when you allow someone to define who you are."

The Way I See It Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"The Way I See It" is a selection of photographs made by Syracuse City School students in response to the street photography of Helen Levitt and others. Working in collaboration with Syracuse University's Photography and Literacy Project (PAL Project), students from Edward Smith School, South West Community Center, and Institute of Technology at Central were given cameras and asked to document their world. Classes met weekly with Syracuse University student mentors, and students viewed and discussed the work of Levitt and contemporary photographers, edited their photographs and discussed the elements of picture making. Above all, the students learned that the camera can be a tool to tell a story and give a voice — a voice that deserves to be heard.

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.

Helen Levitt: In the Street Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
For more than 70 years, Helen Levitt used her camera to capture fresh and unstudied views of everyday life in the streets of New York City. Levitt's photographs, in both black and white and color, document neighborhood matriarchs on their front stoops, pedestrians negotiating New York's busy sidewalks, and boisterous children at play. In her work, Levitt successfully captures people of every age, race, and class, without attempting to impose social commentary. This exhibition, organized by the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia, features a range of photographs spanning Levitt's long career, and includes scenes shot in New York City, New Hampshire, and Mexico.

Poetry of Content: Five Contemporary Representational Artists Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding. With few exceptions, imagery that incorporates a realistic visual space, modeled figures and natural surroundings is largely absent from the lexicon of art making. Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

Blackout: Through the Veiled Eyes of Others ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
Racist Memorabilia from the Collection of William Berry, Jr. Berry's collection highlights how ordinary household artifacts have distorted how generations of Americans view people of African descent as somehow less than human. Mainstream media may refer to a post-racial 21st-century America, but stereotypes and distortions of Black people persist nonetheless. This exhibition invites viewers to confront how everyday objects support and perpetuate racism. "I remember at a certain point in time there was an argument that Black people should seek to have this stuff destroyed," says Berry. "My position was that you always want to remember what happens when you allow someone to define who you are."

Pin the Tail: Works by Catalina Schliebener Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Pin the Tail is a site-specific installation based on four photographs found by the artist, Catalina Schliebener, at a garage sale in New York City in 2014. The photographs, which depict children playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, became the catalyst for this exhibition with the addition of other found objects that relate symbolically or in form. The concept of Pin the Tail started to arise through the discovery of these objects and the potential formal and semantic relationships among them. Just as in children's stories and songs, children's games involve a subtle normative character through which children indirectly learn rules of behavior, socialize, and acquire specific roles that will later be reproduced in the adult world. Schliebener is interested in working with icons related to youth that implicitly reveal norms associated with the construction of gender, identity, and class. In Pin the Tail, she analyzes and deconstructs the normative character and functionality of the game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. By doing so, Schliebener calls into question the nature of these objects by practicing new discourses in which they are not dependent upon the system that produced them.
