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.

Joanne Balfour and Barb Schramm: Theorums and Victorian Santas Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Both Barbara Schramm and Joanne Balfour are well known in the Central New York art community. Schramm is a painter of old-world Victorian Santas, and Joanne Balfour uses 19th-century techniques for inspiration for her theorem paintings. Joanne Balfour was drawn to the history and type of home decorative arts done in 17th and 18th century England and America. Her theorem paintings exhibit a technique practiced by young ladies in early 19th-century American academies. Stencils were often provided by their teachers and used in various combinations by the girls to create their oil paintings or watercolors on cotton velveteen, often embellished with freehand details. Barbara Schramm's Old World, Victorian Santas (or Father Christmases) are painted on quarter-sawn Finger Lakes sycamore, oak or pine. The reverse of each painting indicates where in the world the depicted Santa became popular.

Over and Over 914Works
Price: Free 914Works
914 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Work by Stefan Marc Zoller and Brent Michael Erickson, both graduate students in the SU School of Art, is featured in the new exhibition "Over and Over." Memory plays a significant role in the work of both artists, both in the sense of drawing from a memory and in the use of repetition. The repeated motif in Zoller's "Interior Witness Group" is based on a nondescript yet familiar space that has been the site of years of memory. Through its repetition, Zoller contemplates and confronts the host of memory to which it has borne witness. Erickson's "White Noise" presents works both in the present and past as documentation of temporary wall drawings, which no longer exist, are paired next to lithographs to question how the memory of a work can be used to inform new works. "Over and Over" is meant to question the role memory plays in the artist's studio as well as how these memories can relate to others to create a connection or conversation.

The Portraits of Gregory Heisler Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The exhibit presents large-scale images captured by one of professional photography's most respected practitioners. Heisler's iconic portraits of celebrities, athletes, and world leaders are instantly recognizable for their technical mastery and thoughtful responsiveness, many of which have appeared as cover images for well-known magazines. Curated by Domenic Iacono, Director of the Syracuse University Art Galleries, this exhibition presents a small but powerful overview of Heisler's career photographing some of the world's most influential persons. Gregory Heisler's portraits have appeared as cover images on more than 70 issues of Time magazine, and his stunning portraits of Julia Roberts, Hillary Clinton, Muhammad Ali, Bruce Springsteen and others have appeared in Life, Esquire, Fortune, Sports Illustrated, and many more. Heisler has been said to combine "the eye of an artist, the mind of a scientist, and the heart of a journalist." His photographic career has spanned over 35 years, and among the many awards he has received are the Alfred Eisenstadt Award and the Leica Medal of Excellence. A sought-after speaker and educator, teaching classes and seminars throughout the country and overseas, Heisler was appointed a Distinguished Professor of Photography in the Multimedia Photography & Design program at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University in 2014. His bestselling book, Gregory Heisler: 50 Portraits, will be available for sale in the Gallery Shop.

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.

Hard Earned: The Military Photographs of Stacy Pearsall Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The exhibit presents over 15 years of Pearsall's career documenting military events and persons. Curated by Theresa Moir, a second year Syracuse University graduate student pursuing concurrent degrees in Museum Studies and Art History, this exhibition draws its content from Pearsall's combat photography taken overseas on active duty in the Air Force, as well as her more recent Veterans Portrait Project. Stacy L. Pearsall got her start as an Air Force photographer at the age of 17. During her time in the service, she traveled to over 41 countries, and attended S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Now combat disabled and retired from military service, Pearsall continues to work worldwide as a freelance photographer, and is an author, educator, military consultant, public speaker and founder of the Veterans Portrait Project. Pearsall was one of only two women to win NPPA's Military Photographer of the Year competition, and the only woman to have earned it twice. She's been honored as the Air Force Veteran of the Year by the Air Force Band and PBS, presented the Trojan Labor American Hero Award, honored with the Daughters of the American Revolution Margaret Cochran Corbin Award, lauded by the White House as a Champion of Change, and holds an honorary doctoral degree from The Citadel.

Mastering a Medium: The Porcelains of Adelaide Alsop Robineau Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Adelaide Alsop Robineau, a major figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and today considered one of America's preeminent art potters, is known for her exquisite porcelains decorated with intricate carvings and crystalline glazes. This exhibition features more than seventy of Robineau's works, a number of which were part of the Everson's original purchase of Robineau's porcelains in 1916, an acquisition that set the course for the Museum's long-term commitment to collecting ceramics. On display in the exhibition are many visitor favorites, including the famous Scarab Vase, believed to be Robineau's masterpiece.

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.

This solo exhibition is, in part, the result of Consuelo Underwood creating a site-specific mixed media installation on an ArtRage gallery wall. It will also include a selection of her fiber and woven art from the past 30 years. Underwood says her work "is a reflection of personal border experiences: the interconnectedness of societies, insisting on beauty in struggle, and celebrating the notion of 'seeing' this world through my tricultural lens. I think we, as a nation, should be taking care of the land and its flowers. The 'borders' are taking a toll on the flora and fauna of America. The ecological balance has been altered and the 'border' is creating a desert wasteland that will cross the entire North American continent."

Brothers McCann Folkus Project
Price: $15 regular, $12 members May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
The raw simplicity of acoustic guitars, keyboard and vocals welcomes the listener to experience an honest, live performance. The Brothers McCann creates dynamic palettes of sound, weaving sweeping three-part harmonies over rustic reinventions of folk-rock. Pat, brother Mike, and long-time friend Erik nurture the heart of their New England musical upbringing with three unique songwriting styles on rotating display. Pat McCann (Vocals and Keyboards), Mike McCann (Vocals and Guitar), and Erik White (Vocals and Guitar) are three staggeringly strong and unique voices that weave lush harmonies over clever and diverse songwriting styles, with memorable melodies that invite listeners to sing along almost immediately. Based out of Boston, they have been spreading their vibrant and emotional sound to ears of all ages. A fusion of honest, contemplative lyrics and a loose mix of pop/folk/soul set to harmonizing vocals. From measured, stirring ballads to optimistic and explosively energetic sounds, their live show is one that will leave you smiling and whistling for weeks.

Move Over Mrs. Markham Central New York Playhouse Dustin M. Czarny, director
Price: $17 CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage),
Dewitt
To Sylvie, it's the "goose" that she learned from Alistair, but to Philip, Joanna Markham's husband, it's "a variety of geese," and 15 years of marriage is just about undone along with everything else in this wild, zany free-for-all. Everything from Philip's business deals with Bow Wow Books and Alistair's near escape from Joanna's chiding seduction to the naked G.P.O. girl and the specter of scandal is hilarious. A lot of bedhopping occurs as Sylvie winds up taking Alistair on "walkies" and the amazing Mrs. Markham gets her man her husband! It all takes place in an elegant top-floor London flat.

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.

Joanne Balfour and Barb Schramm: Theorums and Victorian Santas Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Both Barbara Schramm and Joanne Balfour are well known in the Central New York art community. Schramm is a painter of old-world Victorian Santas, and Joanne Balfour uses 19th-century techniques for inspiration for her theorem paintings. Joanne Balfour was drawn to the history and type of home decorative arts done in 17th and 18th century England and America. Her theorem paintings exhibit a technique practiced by young ladies in early 19th-century American academies. Stencils were often provided by their teachers and used in various combinations by the girls to create their oil paintings or watercolors on cotton velveteen, often embellished with freehand details. Barbara Schramm's Old World, Victorian Santas (or Father Christmases) are painted on quarter-sawn Finger Lakes sycamore, oak or pine. The reverse of each painting indicates where in the world the depicted Santa became popular.

Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The exhibit presents over 15 years of Pearsall's career documenting military events and persons. Curated by Theresa Moir, a second year Syracuse University graduate student pursuing concurrent degrees in Museum Studies and Art History, this exhibition draws its content from Pearsall's combat photography taken overseas on active duty in the Air Force, as well as her more recent Veterans Portrait Project. Stacy L. Pearsall got her start as an Air Force photographer at the age of 17. During her time in the service, she traveled to over 41 countries, and attended S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Now combat disabled and retired from military service, Pearsall continues to work worldwide as a freelance photographer, and is an author, educator, military consultant, public speaker and founder of the Veterans Portrait Project.

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.

Move Over Mrs. Markham Central New York Playhouse Dustin M. Czarny, director
Price: $15 CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage),
Dewitt
To Sylvie, it's the "goose" that she learned from Alistair, but to Philip, Joanna Markham's husband, it's "a variety of geese," and 15 years of marriage is just about undone along with everything else in this wild, zany free-for-all. Everything from Philip's business deals with Bow Wow Books and Alistair's near escape from Joanna's chiding seduction to the naked G.P.O. girl and the specter of scandal is hilarious. A lot of bedhopping occurs as Sylvie winds up taking Alistair on "walkies" and the amazing Mrs. Markham gets her man her husband! It all takes place in an elegant top-floor London flat.

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.

Joanne Balfour and Barb Schramm: Theorums and Victorian Santas Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Both Barbara Schramm and Joanne Balfour are well known in the Central New York art community. Schramm is a painter of old-world Victorian Santas, and Joanne Balfour uses 19th-century techniques for inspiration for her theorem paintings. Joanne Balfour was drawn to the history and type of home decorative arts done in 17th and 18th century England and America. Her theorem paintings exhibit a technique practiced by young ladies in early 19th-century American academies. Stencils were often provided by their teachers and used in various combinations by the girls to create their oil paintings or watercolors on cotton velveteen, often embellished with freehand details. Barbara Schramm's Old World, Victorian Santas (or Father Christmases) are painted on quarter-sawn Finger Lakes sycamore, oak or pine. The reverse of each painting indicates where in the world the depicted Santa became popular.

Over and Over 914Works
Price: Free 914Works
914 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Work by Stefan Marc Zoller and Brent Michael Erickson, both graduate students in the SU School of Art, is featured in the new exhibition "Over and Over." Memory plays a significant role in the work of both artists, both in the sense of drawing from a memory and in the use of repetition. The repeated motif in Zoller's "Interior Witness Group" is based on a nondescript yet familiar space that has been the site of years of memory. Through its repetition, Zoller contemplates and confronts the host of memory to which it has borne witness. Erickson's "White Noise" presents works both in the present and past as documentation of temporary wall drawings, which no longer exist, are paired next to lithographs to question how the memory of a work can be used to inform new works. "Over and Over" is meant to question the role memory plays in the artist's studio as well as how these memories can relate to others to create a connection or conversation.

Hard Earned: The Military Photographs of Stacy Pearsall Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The exhibit presents over 15 years of Pearsall's career documenting military events and persons. Curated by Theresa Moir, a second year Syracuse University graduate student pursuing concurrent degrees in Museum Studies and Art History, this exhibition draws its content from Pearsall's combat photography taken overseas on active duty in the Air Force, as well as her more recent Veterans Portrait Project. Stacy L. Pearsall got her start as an Air Force photographer at the age of 17. During her time in the service, she traveled to over 41 countries, and attended S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Now combat disabled and retired from military service, Pearsall continues to work worldwide as a freelance photographer, and is an author, educator, military consultant, public speaker and founder of the Veterans Portrait Project. Pearsall was one of only two women to win NPPA's Military Photographer of the Year competition, and the only woman to have earned it twice. She's been honored as the Air Force Veteran of the Year by the Air Force Band and PBS, presented the Trojan Labor American Hero Award, honored with the Daughters of the American Revolution Margaret Cochran Corbin Award, lauded by the White House as a Champion of Change, and holds an honorary doctoral degree from The Citadel.

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.

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.

Borderlines: The Art of Consuelo Jimenez Underwood ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
This solo exhibition is, in part, the result of Consuelo Underwood creating a site-specific mixed media installation on an ArtRage gallery wall. It will also include a selection of her fiber and woven art from the past 30 years. Underwood says her work "is a reflection of personal border experiences: the interconnectedness of societies, insisting on beauty in struggle, and celebrating the notion of 'seeing' this world through my tricultural lens. I think we, as a nation, should be taking care of the land and its flowers. The 'borders' are taking a toll on the flora and fauna of America. The ecological balance has been altered and the 'border' is creating a desert wasteland that will cross the entire North American continent."

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.

Joanne Balfour and Barb Schramm: Theorums and Victorian Santas Gallery 54
Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St.,
Skaneateles
Both Barbara Schramm and Joanne Balfour are well known in the Central New York art community. Schramm is a painter of old-world Victorian Santas, and Joanne Balfour uses 19th-century techniques for inspiration for her theorem paintings. Joanne Balfour was drawn to the history and type of home decorative arts done in 17th and 18th century England and America. Her theorem paintings exhibit a technique practiced by young ladies in early 19th-century American academies. Stencils were often provided by their teachers and used in various combinations by the girls to create their oil paintings or watercolors on cotton velveteen, often embellished with freehand details. Barbara Schramm's Old World, Victorian Santas (or Father Christmases) are painted on quarter-sawn Finger Lakes sycamore, oak or pine. The reverse of each painting indicates where in the world the depicted Santa became popular.

Over and Over 914Works
Price: Free 914Works
914 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Work by Stefan Marc Zoller and Brent Michael Erickson, both graduate students in the SU School of Art, is featured in the new exhibition "Over and Over." Memory plays a significant role in the work of both artists, both in the sense of drawing from a memory and in the use of repetition. The repeated motif in Zoller's "Interior Witness Group" is based on a nondescript yet familiar space that has been the site of years of memory. Through its repetition, Zoller contemplates and confronts the host of memory to which it has borne witness. Erickson's "White Noise" presents works both in the present and past as documentation of temporary wall drawings, which no longer exist, are paired next to lithographs to question how the memory of a work can be used to inform new works. "Over and Over" is meant to question the role memory plays in the artist's studio as well as how these memories can relate to others to create a connection or conversation.

Hard Earned: The Military Photographs of Stacy Pearsall Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The exhibit presents over 15 years of Pearsall's career documenting military events and persons. Curated by Theresa Moir, a second year Syracuse University graduate student pursuing concurrent degrees in Museum Studies and Art History, this exhibition draws its content from Pearsall's combat photography taken overseas on active duty in the Air Force, as well as her more recent Veterans Portrait Project. Stacy L. Pearsall got her start as an Air Force photographer at the age of 17. During her time in the service, she traveled to over 41 countries, and attended S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Now combat disabled and retired from military service, Pearsall continues to work worldwide as a freelance photographer, and is an author, educator, military consultant, public speaker and founder of the Veterans Portrait Project. Pearsall was one of only two women to win NPPA's Military Photographer of the Year competition, and the only woman to have earned it twice. She's been honored as the Air Force Veteran of the Year by the Air Force Band and PBS, presented the Trojan Labor American Hero Award, honored with the Daughters of the American Revolution Margaret Cochran Corbin Award, lauded by the White House as a Champion of Change, and holds an honorary doctoral degree from The Citadel.

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.

Borderlines: The Art of Consuelo Jimenez Underwood ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
This solo exhibition is, in part, the result of Consuelo Underwood creating a site-specific mixed media installation on an ArtRage gallery wall. It will also include a selection of her fiber and woven art from the past 30 years. Underwood says her work "is a reflection of personal border experiences: the interconnectedness of societies, insisting on beauty in struggle, and celebrating the notion of 'seeing' this world through my tricultural lens. I think we, as a nation, should be taking care of the land and its flowers. The 'borders' are taking a toll on the flora and fauna of America. The ecological balance has been altered and the 'border' is creating a desert wasteland that will cross the entire North American continent."

Salt of the Earth (1954) ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
Salt of the Earth, years ahead of its time, is not only a pro-labor film, but also attacks racial and gender inequality as hindrances to the labor movement. Originally released in 1954, the film tells the true story of a union of zinc miners in New Mexico who, with the help of their whole organized community, go on strike against Empire Zinc company, and employing unorthodox methods, overcome all the obstacles thrown up by the local, state and federal government, and win. The miners, their families, and their community, who incidentally make up the majority of the film's cast, produced the film in an attempt to spread awareness of this winning example across the country. Instead, the US government blacklisted Salt of the Earth and the film all but disappeared into obscurity. Eastern Farm Workers Association (EFWA) will lead a talk before and after the film.

To Sylvie, it's the "goose" that she learned from Alistair, but to Philip, Joanna Markham's husband, it's "a variety of geese," and 15 years of marriage is just about undone along with everything else in this wild, zany free-for-all. Everything from Philip's business deals with Bow Wow Books and Alistair's near escape from Joanna's chiding seduction to the naked G.P.O. girl and the specter of scandal is hilarious. A lot of bedhopping occurs as Sylvie winds up taking Alistair on "walkies" and the amazing Mrs. Markham gets her man her husband! It all takes place in an elegant top-floor London flat.

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.

Her theorem paintings exhibit a technique practiced by young ladies in early 19th-century American academies.

Price: Free 914Works
914 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Work by Stefan Marc Zoller and Brent Michael Erickson, both graduate students in the SU School of Art, is featured in the new exhibition "Over and Over." Memory plays a significant role in the work of both artists, both in the sense of drawing from a memory and in the use of repetition. The repeated motif in Zoller's "Interior Witness Group" is based on a nondescript yet familiar space that has been the site of years of memory. Through its repetition, Zoller contemplates and confronts the host of memory to which it has borne witness. Erickson's "White Noise" presents works both in the present and past as documentation of temporary wall drawings, which no longer exist, are paired next to lithographs to question how the memory of a work can be used to inform new works. "Over and Over" is meant to question the role memory plays in the artist's studio as well as how these memories can relate to others to create a connection or conversation.

Hard Earned: The Military Photographs of Stacy Pearsall Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The exhibit presents over 15 years of Pearsall's career documenting military events and persons. Curated by Theresa Moir, a second year Syracuse University graduate student pursuing concurrent degrees in Museum Studies and Art History, this exhibition draws its content from Pearsall's combat photography taken overseas on active duty in the Air Force, as well as her more recent Veterans Portrait Project. Stacy L. Pearsall got her start as an Air Force photographer at the age of 17. During her time in the service, she traveled to over 41 countries, and attended S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Now combat disabled and retired from military service, Pearsall continues to work worldwide as a freelance photographer, and is an author, educator, military consultant, public speaker and founder of the Veterans Portrait Project. Pearsall was one of only two women to win NPPA's Military Photographer of the Year competition, and the only woman to have earned it twice. She's been honored as the Air Force Veteran of the Year by the Air Force Band and PBS, presented the Trojan Labor American Hero Award, honored with the Daughters of the American Revolution Margaret Cochran Corbin Award, lauded by the White House as a Champion of Change, and holds an honorary doctoral degree from The Citadel.

Mastering a Medium: The Porcelains of Adelaide Alsop Robineau Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Adelaide Alsop Robineau, a major figure in the Arts and Crafts movement and today considered one of America's preeminent art potters, is known for her exquisite porcelains decorated with intricate carvings and crystalline glazes. This exhibition features more than seventy of Robineau's works, a number of which were part of the Everson's original purchase of Robineau's porcelains in 1916, an acquisition that set the course for the Museum's long-term commitment to collecting ceramics. On display in the exhibition are many visitor favorites, including the famous Scarab Vase, believed to be Robineau's masterpiece.

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.

Borderlines: The Art of Consuelo Jimenez Underwood ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
This solo exhibition is, in part, the result of Consuelo Underwood creating a site-specific mixed media installation on an ArtRage gallery wall. It will also include a selection of her fiber and woven art from the past 30 years. Underwood says her work "is a reflection of personal border experiences: the interconnectedness of societies, insisting on beauty in struggle, and celebrating the notion of 'seeing' this world through my tricultural lens. I think we, as a nation, should be taking care of the land and its flowers. The 'borders' are taking a toll on the flora and fauna of America. The ecological balance has been altered and the 'border' is creating a desert wasteland that will cross the entire North American continent."

Move Over Mrs. Markham Central New York Playhouse Dustin M. Czarny, director
Price: $17 CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage),
Dewitt
To Sylvie, it's the "goose" that she learned from Alistair, but to Philip, Joanna Markham's husband, it's "a variety of geese," and 15 years of marriage is just about undone along with everything else in this wild, zany free-for-all. Everything from Philip's business deals with Bow Wow Books and Alistair's near escape from Joanna's chiding seduction to the naked G.P.O. girl and the specter of scandal is hilarious. A lot of bedhopping occurs as Sylvie winds up taking Alistair on "walkies" and the amazing Mrs. Markham gets her man her husband! It all takes place in an elegant top-floor London flat.
