Ben Altman: Site/Sight
Light Work Gallery

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

A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman.

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

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

Kindred Beasts: The 2016 Everson Biennial
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

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

Kate Gilmore: Touch like this, Hold like that
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

New York-based artist Kate Gilmore combines humor and physical endurance in her feminist-inspired works to create strikingly memorable performances and videos. Gilmore's performances typically showcase the artist or other women femininely dressed and engaged in monotonous, physically arduous, and often rather inane tasks that call out and disrupt gender stereotypes. For the Everson, Gilmore presents a selection of video performances spanning more than a decade as well as a new temporary sculptural installation created specifically for the Everson Community Plaza. Linking the indoor and outdoor components, performers will activate the public sculpture throughout the summer.

In Poor Taste: The Genetically Modified Foods Kitchen
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

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

Ben Altman: Site/Sight
Light Work Gallery

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

A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman.

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

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

Ben Altman: Site/Sight
Light Work Gallery

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

A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman.

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

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

Kindred Beasts: The 2016 Everson Biennial
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

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

Kate Gilmore: Touch like this, Hold like that
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

New York-based artist Kate Gilmore combines humor and physical endurance in her feminist-inspired works to create strikingly memorable performances and videos. Gilmore's performances typically showcase the artist or other women femininely dressed and engaged in monotonous, physically arduous, and often rather inane tasks that call out and disrupt gender stereotypes. For the Everson, Gilmore presents a selection of video performances spanning more than a decade as well as a new temporary sculptural installation created specifically for the Everson Community Plaza. Linking the indoor and outdoor components, performers will activate the public sculpture throughout the summer.

In Poor Taste: The Genetically Modified Foods Kitchen
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

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