A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

Gallery Exhibit: James A. Ridlon, A Day in the Garden Onondaga Community College
Price: Free Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
There will be an artist reception today 11:15 am-12:00 noon. Artist Statement: When constructing my college paintings, I focus on capturing the element of time by painting color and light shifts at different times of the day. In order to record hourly atmospheric changes, I complete a vast assortment of paintings on paper during three different time periods: morning, midday, and evening. I then cut these paintings into small pieces, which I use as my pallet for each garden scene. I collage these smaller pieces into one, large cohesive work that is an all-inclusive reflection of "A Day in the Garden." James A. Ridlon, artist/athlete, has achieved fame in both these pursuits. He played in the NFL eight years--six with the San Francisco 49ers and two with the Dallas Cowboys, being named All-Pro as defensive safety with the latter team in 1964. After retiring from pro football he returned to Syracuse University, his alma mater, to complete graduate studies and coach defensive backs on the football team. He is now a professor in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse. Ridlon has completed many sports-related commissions, including large assemblages for ABC Television to commemorate Monday Night Football and Wide World of Sports. He also fashioned the Outland Trophy, awarded each year to the premier college football lineman. He was named "Sport Artist of the Year" for 1989 by the U.S. Sports Academy.

Context: Reading the Photography of Margaret Bourke-White Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a celebrity behind, and in front of, the camera. As a photographer for Life magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s, she documented unforgettable moments--African-American flood victims in Louisville, KY, standing in a bread line beneath a banner that reads almost mockingly "There's No Way Like the American Way"; just-liberated survivors of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp returning the camera's gaze under an eerily cinematic light; Mahatma Gandhi sitting cross-legged on the floor reading, spinning wheel in the foreground. Bourke-White's photographs helped shape the way millions of Americans experienced the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the world that followed. In front of the camera she cultivated an image of herself as fearless, undaunted in pursuit of her "shot," and fashionable, donning fine clothes and a coquettish smile. After three decades in the public eye Bourke-White began to write her memoirs in the early 1950s. When Portrait of Myself finally appeared in 1963, she had already published ten books, countless essays, and been the subject of many interviews. In fact, but for the occasional gallery exhibition, text had always surrounded Bourke-White's photographs. This exhibition explores how text "framed" the photography of Margaret Bourke-White and, ultimately, how she sought to transcend the limits of the medium that made her famous.

Alison Rossiter: Revive Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Alison Rossiter makes photographs without using a camera. Captivated by the mechanics and materials of pre-digital photography, she collects decades-expired photographic paper—the oldest dating to 1900—which she develops in her darkroom, coaxing out of each sheet the gorgeous composition of lights and shades it holds within. Though Rossiter has used a camera, and has made photograms of books and light drawings of horses, she focuses on her experiments with expired paper. Her intimate compositions often resemble moody landscapes or Abstract Expressionist paintings. With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Culture of the Cocktail Hour Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The story of cocktail fashions has several associations with local history. This exhibit will discover some of those people, places and events, including Syracuse's most famous cocktail lounges of days gone by. Cocktails also conjure up the exciting era of the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies flourished during the decade of Prohibition. Displays will include the story of one of the most famous local speakeasies, located just a few hundred feet from the OH Museum, including a menu of its libations, and the tale of the police raid that shut it down. Also on exhibit, along with other documents and artifacts of the era will be an original federal court ledger listing arrests and convictions across the state for Prohibition violations and a local brewery's recipes for "near beer" and flavored sodas, which helped keep them in business through the infamous "dry" years when America famously tried unsuccessfully to eliminate intoxicating beverages from its culture.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Shadows: Fernando Orellana Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The interactive artworks found in Shadows are designed to be used posthumously. Inspired by paranormal research, spiritualism, and ghost folklore, these machines continuously search for the dead, attempting to allow the departed continued use of their worldly possessions. Extracted from recent estate sales, the personal objects found in these techno-effigies are in a constant state of potential energy, awaiting their owner's return. By monitoring sudden fluctuations in temperature, infrared, and electromagnetic readings, the machines try to open a channel or doorway into the neither world. By this, each machine gives the dead an opportunity or proxy to continue interacting in this world and the next.

4040 New Court Ave (off Midler),
Syracuse
A contemporary drawing show featuring works by Anne Novado, Donalee Peden Wesley, Elena Peteva, and Melissa Zarem. This exhibition focuses on some of the different approaches artists have in the practice of drawing. At times the immediacy of the mark made by drawing material is enough to convey a response, thought or idea, whereas other times the artist becomes absorbed in the process of layering, adding and subtracting to arrive at the image they were compelled to find. What is so fascinating is even with all the technology around us, the practice of drawing is still very fresh and ongoing.

Among the honored veterans, this program especially recognizes the troops of the 65th Infantry Regiment known as the "Borinqueneers", the only segregated all-Hispanic battalion in the history of the U.S. Army. The legendary Borinqueneers gallantly served their country in World War I, WWII, and the Korean War.

Last: Works by Dorene Quinn Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
In her exhibition "Last," Dorene Quinn uses visual forms and diverse materials to create memorials to nature that speak of our relationship to the earth. The dual meaning of the word "last" is the genesis of her current body of work, engaging with humanity in an act of counting down, last one of species, last fateful decades of rising temperatures, last chance to contain the damage. The artificiality and imperfection of the works reflect the futility in acting too late, to repair or preserve. By working in fragile environments, Quinn calls attention to her experience and presence in hopes that these places can remain. Quinn currently teaches sculpture at Syracuse University and founded a non-for-profit educational program for inner city teens to gain access to college art and design programs.

Silent Film Music Event: Safety Last Syracuse International Film Festival
Society for New Music
Price: $12 ($75 full festival pass) Palace Theater
2384 James St.,
Syracuse
Charlie Chaplin's short film, Mabel's Strange Predicament will be screened with music by guest composer Canadian pianist/composer Nathalie Khoriaty. Then enjoy our feature film, Safety Last, with live music composed by American film composer Rob Deemer and performed by CNY musicians. Mr. Deemer and Ms. Khoriaty will be present for Q&A after the performance. Safety Last (1923, 73 minutes) is a romantic comedy silent film starring Harold Lloyd. It includes one of the most famous images from the silent film era: Lloyd clutching the hands of a large clock as he dangles from the outside of a skyscraper above moving traffic. The film was highly successful and critically hailed, and it cemented Lloyd's status as a major figure in early motion pictures. It is still popular at revivals, and it is viewed today as one of the great film comedies. Mabel's Strange Predicament (1914, 10 minutes, directed by Mabel Normand) is notable for being the first film for which Chaplin donned The Tramp costume. In a hotel lobby a heavily drunken tramp runs into an elegant lady, Mabel, gets tied up in her dog's leash, and falls down. He later runs into her in the hotel corridor, locked out of her room. They run through various rooms. Mabel ends up in the room of an elderly husband, where she hides under the bed. Enter the jealous wife, who soon attacks Mabel, her husband, and Mabel's lover, not to mention the staggeringly drunken tramp.

A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

Gallery Exhibit: James A. Ridlon, A Day in the Garden Onondaga Community College
Price: Free Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
Artist Statement: When constructing my college paintings, I focus on capturing the element of time by painting color and light shifts at different times of the day. In order to record hourly atmospheric changes, I complete a vast assortment of paintings on paper during three different time periods: morning, midday, and evening. I then cut these paintings into small pieces, which I use as my pallet for each garden scene. I collage these smaller pieces into one, large cohesive work that is an all-inclusive reflection of "A Day in the Garden." James A. Ridlon, artist/athlete, has achieved fame in both these pursuits. He played in the NFL eight years--six with the San Francisco 49ers and two with the Dallas Cowboys, being named All-Pro as defensive safety with the latter team in 1964. After retiring from pro football he returned to Syracuse University, his alma mater, to complete graduate studies and coach defensive backs on the football team. He is now a professor in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse. Ridlon has completed many sports-related commissions, including large assemblages for ABC Television to commemorate Monday Night Football and Wide World of Sports. He also fashioned the Outland Trophy, awarded each year to the premier college football lineman. He was named "Sport Artist of the Year" for 1989 by the U.S. Sports Academy.

Context: Reading the Photography of Margaret Bourke-White Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a celebrity behind, and in front of, the camera. As a photographer for Life magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s, she documented unforgettable moments--African-American flood victims in Louisville, KY, standing in a bread line beneath a banner that reads almost mockingly "There's No Way Like the American Way"; just-liberated survivors of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp returning the camera's gaze under an eerily cinematic light; Mahatma Gandhi sitting cross-legged on the floor reading, spinning wheel in the foreground. Bourke-White's photographs helped shape the way millions of Americans experienced the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the world that followed. In front of the camera she cultivated an image of herself as fearless, undaunted in pursuit of her "shot," and fashionable, donning fine clothes and a coquettish smile. After three decades in the public eye Bourke-White began to write her memoirs in the early 1950s. When Portrait of Myself finally appeared in 1963, she had already published ten books, countless essays, and been the subject of many interviews. In fact, but for the occasional gallery exhibition, text had always surrounded Bourke-White's photographs. This exhibition explores how text "framed" the photography of Margaret Bourke-White and, ultimately, how she sought to transcend the limits of the medium that made her famous.

With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Culture of the Cocktail Hour Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The story of cocktail fashions has several associations with local history. This exhibit will discover some of those people, places and events, including Syracuse's most famous cocktail lounges of days gone by. Cocktails also conjure up the exciting era of the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies flourished during the decade of Prohibition. Displays will include the story of one of the most famous local speakeasies, located just a few hundred feet from the OH Museum, including a menu of its libations, and the tale of the police raid that shut it down. Also on exhibit, along with other documents and artifacts of the era will be an original federal court ledger listing arrests and convictions across the state for Prohibition violations and a local brewery's recipes for "near beer" and flavored sodas, which helped keep them in business through the infamous "dry" years when America famously tried unsuccessfully to eliminate intoxicating beverages from its culture.

Taking Turns: New Work by Chandra DeBuse and Tommy Frank Gandee Gallery
Gandee Gallery
7846 Main St.,
Fabius
Chandra DeBuse and Tommy Frank are both ceramic artist based in Kansas City, MO. Debuse's functional pottery incorporates narrative imagery, pattern, and "candy colors" and explores worlds of imagination with determined characters and landscapes of leisure. Her aim is to "amuse and delight the user, imparting a sense of play." She is a full-time studio potter and educator, and received a MFA from the University of Florida in 2010. Frank's work combines "humor, function and a love of ceramic materiality" and often "satirizes the state of the American economy." It is inspired by George Orwell's classic novel Animal Farm, with the different characters exposing our own place in the socio-economic narrative. He earned a MFA from Bowling Green State University and currently works for Red Star Studios in Kansas City.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Shadows: Fernando Orellana Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The interactive artworks found in Shadows are designed to be used posthumously. Inspired by paranormal research, spiritualism, and ghost folklore, these machines continuously search for the dead, attempting to allow the departed continued use of their worldly possessions. Extracted from recent estate sales, the personal objects found in these techno-effigies are in a constant state of potential energy, awaiting their owner's return. By monitoring sudden fluctuations in temperature, infrared, and electromagnetic readings, the machines try to open a channel or doorway into the neither world. By this, each machine gives the dead an opportunity or proxy to continue interacting in this world and the next.

Gallery 4040
4040 New Court Ave (off Midler),
Syracuse
A contemporary drawing show featuring works by Anne Novado, Donalee Peden Wesley, Elena Peteva, and Melissa Zarem. This exhibition focuses on some of the different approaches artists have in the practice of drawing. At times the immediacy of the mark made by drawing material is enough to convey a response, thought or idea, whereas other times the artist becomes absorbed in the process of layering, adding and subtracting to arrive at the image they were compelled to find. What is so fascinating is even with all the technology around us, the practice of drawing is still very fresh and ongoing.

Isaac Julien: Western Union: Small Boats (The Leopard) Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Urban Video Project (UVP) is pleased to announce the opening of the 2014-15 programming year with this exhibition by world-renowned visual artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien. Video projection begins at dusk. This exhibition marks the beginning of "Celestial Navigation: a year into the afro future", a year-long program of exhibitions and events at Urban Video Project and partner organizations that takes afrofuturism as its point of departure. "Western Union: Small Boats (The Leopard)" concerns journeys made across the seas of the Mediterranean by so-called "clandestines" who leave Libya, escaping wars and famines. They can be seen as economic migrant workers, along with certain Europeans--"Angels" in Walter Benjamin's terms--who bear witness to modernity's failed hopes and dreams, and who now travel across oceanic spaces some never to arrive or return. Isaac Julien (b. 1960) lives and works in London. He first rose to prominence for his feature-length and short-form films. He received a Special Teddy at the Berlin International Film Festival for his film on Derek Jarman, called "Derek" (2008), created in collaboration with Tilda Swinton. Julien's most recent work has focused on immersive single- and multi-channel video installations. His work was part of Documenta XI (2002), and he has had solo shows at the Pompidou Centre in Paris (2005), MOCA Miami (2005) and most recently at SESC Pompeia in Brazil (2012), among others. Julien is represented in both public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern; Centre Pompidou; Guggenheim Collection; and the Hirshhorn Collection. He has taught at Harvard University and Goldsmiths College, University of London, and is currently a faculty member at the Whitney Museum of American Arts, professor of media art at Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe, Germany, and Chair of Global Art at University of the Arts London.

A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

Gallery Exhibit: James A. Ridlon, A Day in the Garden Onondaga Community College
Price: Free Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
Artist Statement: When constructing my college paintings, I focus on capturing the element of time by painting color and light shifts at different times of the day. In order to record hourly atmospheric changes, I complete a vast assortment of paintings on paper during three different time periods: morning, midday, and evening. I then cut these paintings into small pieces, which I use as my pallet for each garden scene. I collage these smaller pieces into one, large cohesive work that is an all-inclusive reflection of "A Day in the Garden." James A. Ridlon, artist/athlete, has achieved fame in both these pursuits. He played in the NFL eight years--six with the San Francisco 49ers and two with the Dallas Cowboys, being named All-Pro as defensive safety with the latter team in 1964. After retiring from pro football he returned to Syracuse University, his alma mater, to complete graduate studies and coach defensive backs on the football team. He is now a professor in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse. Ridlon has completed many sports-related commissions, including large assemblages for ABC Television to commemorate Monday Night Football and Wide World of Sports. He also fashioned the Outland Trophy, awarded each year to the premier college football lineman. He was named "Sport Artist of the Year" for 1989 by the U.S. Sports Academy.

Context: Reading the Photography of Margaret Bourke-White Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a celebrity behind, and in front of, the camera. As a photographer for Life magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s, she documented unforgettable moments--African-American flood victims in Louisville, KY, standing in a bread line beneath a banner that reads almost mockingly "There's No Way Like the American Way"; just-liberated survivors of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp returning the camera's gaze under an eerily cinematic light; Mahatma Gandhi sitting cross-legged on the floor reading, spinning wheel in the foreground. Bourke-White's photographs helped shape the way millions of Americans experienced the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the world that followed. In front of the camera she cultivated an image of herself as fearless, undaunted in pursuit of her "shot," and fashionable, donning fine clothes and a coquettish smile. After three decades in the public eye Bourke-White began to write her memoirs in the early 1950s. When Portrait of Myself finally appeared in 1963, she had already published ten books, countless essays, and been the subject of many interviews. In fact, but for the occasional gallery exhibition, text had always surrounded Bourke-White's photographs. This exhibition explores how text "framed" the photography of Margaret Bourke-White and, ultimately, how she sought to transcend the limits of the medium that made her famous.

Alison Rossiter: Revive Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Alison Rossiter makes photographs without using a camera. Captivated by the mechanics and materials of pre-digital photography, she collects decades-expired photographic paper—the oldest dating to 1900—which she develops in her darkroom, coaxing out of each sheet the gorgeous composition of lights and shades it holds within. Though Rossiter has used a camera, and has made photograms of books and light drawings of horses, she focuses on her experiments with expired paper. Her intimate compositions often resemble moody landscapes or Abstract Expressionist paintings. With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Culture of the Cocktail Hour Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The story of cocktail fashions has several associations with local history. This exhibit will discover some of those people, places and events, including Syracuse's most famous cocktail lounges of days gone by. Cocktails also conjure up the exciting era of the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies flourished during the decade of Prohibition. Displays will include the story of one of the most famous local speakeasies, located just a few hundred feet from the OH Museum, including a menu of its libations, and the tale of the police raid that shut it down. Also on exhibit, along with other documents and artifacts of the era will be an original federal court ledger listing arrests and convictions across the state for Prohibition violations and a local brewery's recipes for "near beer" and flavored sodas, which helped keep them in business through the infamous "dry" years when America famously tried unsuccessfully to eliminate intoxicating beverages from its culture.

Taking Turns: New Work by Chandra DeBuse and Tommy Frank Gandee Gallery
Gandee Gallery
7846 Main St.,
Fabius
Chandra DeBuse and Tommy Frank are both ceramic artist based in Kansas City, MO. Debuse's functional pottery incorporates narrative imagery, pattern, and "candy colors" and explores worlds of imagination with determined characters and landscapes of leisure. Her aim is to "amuse and delight the user, imparting a sense of play." She is a full-time studio potter and educator, and received a MFA from the University of Florida in 2010. Frank's work combines "humor, function and a love of ceramic materiality" and often "satirizes the state of the American economy." It is inspired by George Orwell's classic novel Animal Farm, with the different characters exposing our own place in the socio-economic narrative. He earned a MFA from Bowling Green State University and currently works for Red Star Studios in Kansas City.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Shadows: Fernando Orellana Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The interactive artworks found in Shadows are designed to be used posthumously. Inspired by paranormal research, spiritualism, and ghost folklore, these machines continuously search for the dead, attempting to allow the departed continued use of their worldly possessions. Extracted from recent estate sales, the personal objects found in these techno-effigies are in a constant state of potential energy, awaiting their owner's return. By monitoring sudden fluctuations in temperature, infrared, and electromagnetic readings, the machines try to open a channel or doorway into the neither world. By this, each machine gives the dead an opportunity or proxy to continue interacting in this world and the next.

Gallery 4040
4040 New Court Ave (off Midler),
Syracuse
A contemporary drawing show featuring works by Anne Novado, Donalee Peden Wesley, Elena Peteva, and Melissa Zarem. This exhibition focuses on some of the different approaches artists have in the practice of drawing. At times the immediacy of the mark made by drawing material is enough to convey a response, thought or idea, whereas other times the artist becomes absorbed in the process of layering, adding and subtracting to arrive at the image they were compelled to find. What is so fascinating is even with all the technology around us, the practice of drawing is still very fresh and ongoing.

Common Planes: The Metalwork of Arlene Abend and Todd Conover Dalton's American Decorative Arts
Dalton's American Decorative Arts
1931 James St.,
Syracuse
There will be an opening reception this evening 5:30-8:00 pm. An exhibit of jewelry and sculpture. Arlene Abend's career creating sculpture spans decades. Abend works in bronze, sheet steel, and other mediums. Her work can be found in public, corporate, and private collections. Abend has exhibited in over 15 shows, some group and some one-woman shows. "When I create a sculpture to communicate an idea or a feeling, I also find myself expressing the character of the material as well...be it bronze whose molten liquid flows into cavities or sheet steel that can be sheared and bent. The use of different material is both exciting and challenging. The exploration leads to new forms and directions and offers me a far greater range of expression." Todd Conover's passion for collecting early 20th century American Arts & Crafts Period metalwork led to his obsession with learning long-lost metalworking techniques. He quickly set out producing unique work of his own. Conover has been in fashion design for over 25 years so it was an obvious marriage to transition his metalwork to jewelry where he focuses most of his design work and energy. With a mix of unexpected yet related materials, his jewelry tends to be overtly bold with inspiration harnessed from natural forms that will highlight surface and materials. Conover is professor of Design/Chair: Fashion Design, Syracuse University School of Design, College of Visual and Performing Arts.

Isaac Julien: Western Union: Small Boats (The Leopard) Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Urban Video Project (UVP) is pleased to announce the opening of the 2014-15 programming year with this exhibition by world-renowned visual artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien. Video projection begins at dusk. This exhibition marks the beginning of "Celestial Navigation: a year into the afro future", a year-long program of exhibitions and events at Urban Video Project and partner organizations that takes afrofuturism as its point of departure. "Western Union: Small Boats (The Leopard)" concerns journeys made across the seas of the Mediterranean by so-called "clandestines" who leave Libya, escaping wars and famines. They can be seen as economic migrant workers, along with certain Europeans--"Angels" in Walter Benjamin's terms--who bear witness to modernity's failed hopes and dreams, and who now travel across oceanic spaces some never to arrive or return. Isaac Julien (b. 1960) lives and works in London. He first rose to prominence for his feature-length and short-form films. He received a Special Teddy at the Berlin International Film Festival for his film on Derek Jarman, called "Derek" (2008), created in collaboration with Tilda Swinton. Julien's most recent work has focused on immersive single- and multi-channel video installations. His work was part of Documenta XI (2002), and he has had solo shows at the Pompidou Centre in Paris (2005), MOCA Miami (2005) and most recently at SESC Pompeia in Brazil (2012), among others. Julien is represented in both public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern; Centre Pompidou; Guggenheim Collection; and the Hirshhorn Collection. He has taught at Harvard University and Goldsmiths College, University of London, and is currently a faculty member at the Whitney Museum of American Arts, professor of media art at Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe, Germany, and Chair of Global Art at University of the Arts London.

Bob Franke Folkus Project
Price: $15 regular, $12 members May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Bob Franke is a songwriter's songwriter. One of the very best craftsmen of original song, and one with very deep Folkus roots. Franke is at the peak of his considerable craft, brimming with the wise and spiritually generous songs for which he is best known. His are the kind of songs that really do have the power to change the world by being taken into the lives of people. Franke often deals with political and personal themes, touching hearts with his emotionally driven, yet understated songs. He also excels at inspirational tunes that carry a strong message without being preachy. The deep compassion and humility of Franke's songwriting makes him a moving performer. Many of Franke's songs, such as "Hard Love" and "Beggars to God," are considered classics, fueled by his deep faith and the life lessons learned from his 30-odd years of playing everywhere from concert halls to street corners in 33 states, four Canadian provinces and England. Acclaimed by his peers as a "songwriter's songwriter," Franke has written songs that have been recorded by Peter, Paul and Mary as well as David Wilcox, John McCutcheon, Sally Rogers, Lui Collins, Garnet Rogers, and June Tabor. Perhaps more important, they've been sung in song circles, at weddings, at funerals, and around campfires all over the world. Seasoned veterans and novices alike are drawn to the complex, warm-hearted spirituality and captivatingly clear-cut melodies of Franke's songs.

Preview: Parade Syracuse University Drama Department Marie Kemp, director
Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Daring, innovative, and bold, Parade won well-earned Tony Awards for Best Book and Best Score in 2000. The tragic, true story of Leo Frank, a Jewish man wrongly accused of murder in 1913 Georgia, serves as the basis for a tender love story.

A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

Common Planes: The Metalwork of Arlene Abend and Todd Conover Dalton's American Decorative Arts
Dalton's American Decorative Arts
1931 James St.,
Syracuse
An exhibit of jewelry and sculpture. Arlene Abend's career creating sculpture spans decades. Abend works in bronze, sheet steel, and other mediums. Her work can be found in public, corporate, and private collections. Abend has exhibited in over 15 shows, some group and some one-woman shows. "When I create a sculpture to communicate an idea or a feeling, I also find myself expressing the character of the material as well...be it bronze whose molten liquid flows into cavities or sheet steel that can be sheared and bent. The use of different material is both exciting and challenging. The exploration leads to new forms and directions and offers me a far greater range of expression." Todd Conover's passion for collecting early 20th century American Arts & Crafts Period metalwork led to his obsession with learning long-lost metalworking techniques. He quickly set out producing unique work of his own. Conover has been in fashion design for over 25 years so it was an obvious marriage to transition his metalwork to jewelry where he focuses most of his design work and energy. With a mix of unexpected yet related materials, his jewelry tends to be overtly bold with inspiration harnessed from natural forms that will highlight surface and materials. Conover is professor of Design/Chair: Fashion Design, Syracuse University School of Design, College of Visual and Performing Arts.

Shadows: Fernando Orellana Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The interactive artworks found in Shadows are designed to be used posthumously. Inspired by paranormal research, spiritualism, and ghost folklore, these machines continuously search for the dead, attempting to allow the departed continued use of their worldly possessions. Extracted from recent estate sales, the personal objects found in these techno-effigies are in a constant state of potential energy, awaiting their owner's return. By monitoring sudden fluctuations in temperature, infrared, and electromagnetic readings, the machines try to open a channel or doorway into the neither world. By this, each machine gives the dead an opportunity or proxy to continue interacting in this world and the next.

Taking Turns: New Work by Chandra DeBuse and Tommy Frank Gandee Gallery
Gandee Gallery
7846 Main St.,
Fabius
Chandra DeBuse and Tommy Frank are both ceramic artist based in Kansas City, MO. Debuse's functional pottery incorporates narrative imagery, pattern, and "candy colors" and explores worlds of imagination with determined characters and landscapes of leisure. Her aim is to "amuse and delight the user, imparting a sense of play." She is a full-time studio potter and educator, and received a MFA from the University of Florida in 2010. Frank's work combines "humor, function and a love of ceramic materiality" and often "satirizes the state of the American economy." It is inspired by George Orwell's classic novel Animal Farm, with the different characters exposing our own place in the socio-economic narrative. He earned a MFA from Bowling Green State University and currently works for Red Star Studios in Kansas City.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

4040 New Court Ave (off Midler),
Syracuse
A contemporary drawing show featuring works by Anne Novado, Donalee Peden Wesley, Elena Peteva, and Melissa Zarem. This exhibition focuses on some of the different approaches artists have in the practice of drawing. At times the immediacy of the mark made by drawing material is enough to convey a response, thought or idea, whereas other times the artist becomes absorbed in the process of layering, adding and subtracting to arrive at the image they were compelled to find. What is so fascinating is even with all the technology around us, the practice of drawing is still very fresh and ongoing.

Culture of the Cocktail Hour Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The story of cocktail fashions has several associations with local history. This exhibit will discover some of those people, places and events, including Syracuse's most famous cocktail lounges of days gone by. Cocktails also conjure up the exciting era of the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies flourished during the decade of Prohibition. Displays will include the story of one of the most famous local speakeasies, located just a few hundred feet from the OH Museum, including a menu of its libations, and the tale of the police raid that shut it down. Also on exhibit, along with other documents and artifacts of the era will be an original federal court ledger listing arrests and convictions across the state for Prohibition violations and a local brewery's recipes for "near beer" and flavored sodas, which helped keep them in business through the infamous "dry" years when America famously tried unsuccessfully to eliminate intoxicating beverages from its culture.

Isaac Julien: Western Union: Small Boats (The Leopard) Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Urban Video Project (UVP) is pleased to announce the opening of the 2014-15 programming year with this exhibition by world-renowned visual artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien. Video projection begins at dusk. This exhibition marks the beginning of "Celestial Navigation: a year into the afro future", a year-long program of exhibitions and events at Urban Video Project and partner organizations that takes afrofuturism as its point of departure. "Western Union: Small Boats (The Leopard)" concerns journeys made across the seas of the Mediterranean by so-called "clandestines" who leave Libya, escaping wars and famines. They can be seen as economic migrant workers, along with certain Europeans--"Angels" in Walter Benjamin's terms--who bear witness to modernity's failed hopes and dreams, and who now travel across oceanic spaces some never to arrive or return. Isaac Julien (b. 1960) lives and works in London. He first rose to prominence for his feature-length and short-form films. He received a Special Teddy at the Berlin International Film Festival for his film on Derek Jarman, called "Derek" (2008), created in collaboration with Tilda Swinton. Julien's most recent work has focused on immersive single- and multi-channel video installations. His work was part of Documenta XI (2002), and he has had solo shows at the Pompidou Centre in Paris (2005), MOCA Miami (2005) and most recently at SESC Pompeia in Brazil (2012), among others. Julien is represented in both public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern; Centre Pompidou; Guggenheim Collection; and the Hirshhorn Collection. He has taught at Harvard University and Goldsmiths College, University of London, and is currently a faculty member at the Whitney Museum of American Arts, professor of media art at Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe, Germany, and Chair of Global Art at University of the Arts London.

Second Saturday Series: Westcott Sessions, and Alison & Zoe Westcott Community Center
Price: $10 Westcott Community Center
Corner of Euclid Ave. and Westcott St.,
Syracuse
The Westcott Sessions are local musicians who meet regularly to run through a vast repertoire of Appalachian-style fiddle tunes and other traditional music (much of it dating back to Ireland and Scotland); lately, they've been seen on Monday nights in the courtyard of the Beer Belly Deli. For this show, they are fine-tuning some of their best arrangements and making a concert for us. You'll hear a mix of fiddles, banjos, guitars, bass, dulcimers, and other instruments ... and, alongside the traditional material, a few newer compositions played in the older style. Alison and Zoe are sisters, Irish-born, who now live in Central New York and perform together as harmonizing singer-songwriters. As is often the case with siblings, their harmonies are never less than beautiful, and often other-worldly. They appeared at the Folkus member event in June and again at our Barnes & Noble book fair in September, and charmed us both times. Double-billed with the Sessions, they offer a musical experience we encourage you not to miss.

Monkey Business Open Hand Theater
Price: $10 adults, $6 children International Mask and Puppet Museum
518 Prospect Ave.,
Syracuse
The puppet stage unfolds, engaging children in an interactive performance of the well-loved story "Caps for Sale" by Siberian born children's author Esphyr Slobodkina. We'll try out several adapted versions of the story with puppets, a chorus of vowel sounds, and some new twists and turns. This performance is ideal for toddlers and young readers. Based on a folktale, the story follows the life of a mustachioed cap salesman who wears his entire stock of caps on his head--seventeen in all (including his own cap). He strolls through towns and villages chanting, "Caps! Caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!" One day, the peddler sits down under a tree to take a nap, with all his wares still on his head. When he awakens, all the caps but his own are gone--stolen by a troop of monkeys, who now sit in the tree wearing them. Children can try out their own monkey sounds, movements and ideas for the story's end. New this fall: Up Close -- A Look Inside the Story Join us at 10:00 am for a hands-on story hour suitable for children as young as 3 years (with an accompanying parent) and anyone who wants a more in-depth exploration of the upcoming performance.

Alison Rossiter: Revive Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Alison Rossiter makes photographs without using a camera. Captivated by the mechanics and materials of pre-digital photography, she collects decades-expired photographic paper—the oldest dating to 1900—which she develops in her darkroom, coaxing out of each sheet the gorgeous composition of lights and shades it holds within. Though Rossiter has used a camera, and has made photograms of books and light drawings of horses, she focuses on her experiments with expired paper. Her intimate compositions often resemble moody landscapes or Abstract Expressionist paintings. With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

Taking Turns: New Work by Chandra DeBuse and Tommy Frank Gandee Gallery
Gandee Gallery
7846 Main St.,
Fabius
Chandra DeBuse and Tommy Frank are both ceramic artist based in Kansas City, MO. Debuse's functional pottery incorporates narrative imagery, pattern, and "candy colors" and explores worlds of imagination with determined characters and landscapes of leisure. Her aim is to "amuse and delight the user, imparting a sense of play." She is a full-time studio potter and educator, and received a MFA from the University of Florida in 2010. Frank's work combines "humor, function and a love of ceramic materiality" and often "satirizes the state of the American economy." It is inspired by George Orwell's classic novel Animal Farm, with the different characters exposing our own place in the socio-economic narrative. He earned a MFA from Bowling Green State University and currently works for Red Star Studios in Kansas City.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Shadows: Fernando Orellana Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The interactive artworks found in Shadows are designed to be used posthumously. Inspired by paranormal research, spiritualism, and ghost folklore, these machines continuously search for the dead, attempting to allow the departed continued use of their worldly possessions. Extracted from recent estate sales, the personal objects found in these techno-effigies are in a constant state of potential energy, awaiting their owner's return. By monitoring sudden fluctuations in temperature, infrared, and electromagnetic readings, the machines try to open a channel or doorway into the neither world. By this, each machine gives the dead an opportunity or proxy to continue interacting in this world and the next.

Culture of the Cocktail Hour Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The story of cocktail fashions has several associations with local history. This exhibit will discover some of those people, places and events, including Syracuse's most famous cocktail lounges of days gone by. Cocktails also conjure up the exciting era of the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies flourished during the decade of Prohibition. Displays will include the story of one of the most famous local speakeasies, located just a few hundred feet from the OH Museum, including a menu of its libations, and the tale of the police raid that shut it down. Also on exhibit, along with other documents and artifacts of the era will be an original federal court ledger listing arrests and convictions across the state for Prohibition violations and a local brewery's recipes for "near beer" and flavored sodas, which helped keep them in business through the infamous "dry" years when America famously tried unsuccessfully to eliminate intoxicating beverages from its culture.

A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

Gallery Exhibit: James A. Ridlon, A Day in the Garden Onondaga Community College
Price: Free Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
Artist Statement: When constructing my college paintings, I focus on capturing the element of time by painting color and light shifts at different times of the day. In order to record hourly atmospheric changes, I complete a vast assortment of paintings on paper during three different time periods: morning, midday, and evening. I then cut these paintings into small pieces, which I use as my pallet for each garden scene. I collage these smaller pieces into one, large cohesive work that is an all-inclusive reflection of "A Day in the Garden." James A. Ridlon, artist/athlete, has achieved fame in both these pursuits. He played in the NFL eight years--six with the San Francisco 49ers and two with the Dallas Cowboys, being named All-Pro as defensive safety with the latter team in 1964. After retiring from pro football he returned to Syracuse University, his alma mater, to complete graduate studies and coach defensive backs on the football team. He is now a professor in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse. Ridlon has completed many sports-related commissions, including large assemblages for ABC Television to commemorate Monday Night Football and Wide World of Sports. He also fashioned the Outland Trophy, awarded each year to the premier college football lineman. He was named "Sport Artist of the Year" for 1989 by the U.S. Sports Academy.

Context: Reading the Photography of Margaret Bourke-White Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a celebrity behind, and in front of, the camera. As a photographer for Life magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s, she documented unforgettable moments--African-American flood victims in Louisville, KY, standing in a bread line beneath a banner that reads almost mockingly "There's No Way Like the American Way"; just-liberated survivors of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp returning the camera's gaze under an eerily cinematic light; Mahatma Gandhi sitting cross-legged on the floor reading, spinning wheel in the foreground. Bourke-White's photographs helped shape the way millions of Americans experienced the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the world that followed. In front of the camera she cultivated an image of herself as fearless, undaunted in pursuit of her "shot," and fashionable, donning fine clothes and a coquettish smile. After three decades in the public eye Bourke-White began to write her memoirs in the early 1950s. When Portrait of Myself finally appeared in 1963, she had already published ten books, countless essays, and been the subject of many interviews. In fact, but for the occasional gallery exhibition, text had always surrounded Bourke-White's photographs. This exhibition explores how text "framed" the photography of Margaret Bourke-White and, ultimately, how she sought to transcend the limits of the medium that made her famous.

Common Planes: The Metalwork of Arlene Abend and Todd Conover Dalton's American Decorative Arts
Dalton's American Decorative Arts
1931 James St.,
Syracuse
An exhibit of jewelry and sculpture. Arlene Abend's career creating sculpture spans decades. Abend works in bronze, sheet steel, and other mediums. Her work can be found in public, corporate, and private collections. Abend has exhibited in over 15 shows, some group and some one-woman shows. "When I create a sculpture to communicate an idea or a feeling, I also find myself expressing the character of the material as well...be it bronze whose molten liquid flows into cavities or sheet steel that can be sheared and bent. The use of different material is both exciting and challenging. The exploration leads to new forms and directions and offers me a far greater range of expression." Todd Conover's passion for collecting early 20th century American Arts & Crafts Period metalwork led to his obsession with learning long-lost metalworking techniques. He quickly set out producing unique work of his own. Conover has been in fashion design for over 25 years so it was an obvious marriage to transition his metalwork to jewelry where he focuses most of his design work and energy. With a mix of unexpected yet related materials, his jewelry tends to be overtly bold with inspiration harnessed from natural forms that will highlight surface and materials. Conover is professor of Design/Chair: Fashion Design, Syracuse University School of Design, College of Visual and Performing Arts.

Alison Rossiter: Revive Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Alison Rossiter makes photographs without using a camera. Captivated by the mechanics and materials of pre-digital photography, she collects decades-expired photographic paper—the oldest dating to 1900—which she develops in her darkroom, coaxing out of each sheet the gorgeous composition of lights and shades it holds within. Though Rossiter has used a camera, and has made photograms of books and light drawings of horses, she focuses on her experiments with expired paper. Her intimate compositions often resemble moody landscapes or Abstract Expressionist paintings. With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

Gallery Exhibit: James A. Ridlon, A Day in the Garden Onondaga Community College
Price: Free Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
Artist Statement: When constructing my college paintings, I focus on capturing the element of time by painting color and light shifts at different times of the day. In order to record hourly atmospheric changes, I complete a vast assortment of paintings on paper during three different time periods: morning, midday, and evening. I then cut these paintings into small pieces, which I use as my pallet for each garden scene. I collage these smaller pieces into one, large cohesive work that is an all-inclusive reflection of "A Day in the Garden." James A. Ridlon, artist/athlete, has achieved fame in both these pursuits. He played in the NFL eight years--six with the San Francisco 49ers and two with the Dallas Cowboys, being named All-Pro as defensive safety with the latter team in 1964. After retiring from pro football he returned to Syracuse University, his alma mater, to complete graduate studies and coach defensive backs on the football team. He is now a professor in the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse. Ridlon has completed many sports-related commissions, including large assemblages for ABC Television to commemorate Monday Night Football and Wide World of Sports. He also fashioned the Outland Trophy, awarded each year to the premier college football lineman. He was named "Sport Artist of the Year" for 1989 by the U.S. Sports Academy.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a celebrity behind, and in front of, the camera. As a photographer for Life magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s, she documented unforgettable moments--African-American flood victims in Louisville, KY, standing in a bread line beneath a banner that reads almost mockingly "There's No Way Like the American Way"; just-liberated survivors of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp returning the camera's gaze under an eerily cinematic light; Mahatma Gandhi sitting cross-legged on the floor reading, spinning wheel in the foreground. Bourke-White's photographs helped shape the way millions of Americans experienced the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the world that followed. In front of the camera she cultivated an image of herself as fearless, undaunted in pursuit of her "shot," and fashionable, donning fine clothes and a coquettish smile. After three decades in the public eye Bourke-White began to write her memoirs in the early 1950s. When Portrait of Myself finally appeared in 1963, she had already published ten books, countless essays, and been the subject of many interviews. In fact, but for the occasional gallery exhibition, text had always surrounded Bourke-White's photographs. This exhibition explores how text "framed" the photography of Margaret Bourke-White and, ultimately, how she sought to transcend the limits of the medium that made her famous.

Common Planes: The Metalwork of Arlene Abend and Todd Conover Dalton's American Decorative Arts
Dalton's American Decorative Arts
1931 James St.,
Syracuse
An exhibit of jewelry and sculpture. Arlene Abend's career creating sculpture spans decades. Abend works in bronze, sheet steel, and other mediums. Her work can be found in public, corporate, and private collections. Abend has exhibited in over 15 shows, some group and some one-woman shows. "When I create a sculpture to communicate an idea or a feeling, I also find myself expressing the character of the material as well...be it bronze whose molten liquid flows into cavities or sheet steel that can be sheared and bent. The use of different material is both exciting and challenging. The exploration leads to new forms and directions and offers me a far greater range of expression." Todd Conover's passion for collecting early 20th century American Arts & Crafts Period metalwork led to his obsession with learning long-lost metalworking techniques. He quickly set out producing unique work of his own. Conover has been in fashion design for over 25 years so it was an obvious marriage to transition his metalwork to jewelry where he focuses most of his design work and energy. With a mix of unexpected yet related materials, his jewelry tends to be overtly bold with inspiration harnessed from natural forms that will highlight surface and materials. Conover is professor of Design/Chair: Fashion Design, Syracuse University School of Design, College of Visual and Performing Arts.

Alison Rossiter: Revive Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Alison Rossiter makes photographs without using a camera. Captivated by the mechanics and materials of pre-digital photography, she collects decades-expired photographic paper—the oldest dating to 1900—which she develops in her darkroom, coaxing out of each sheet the gorgeous composition of lights and shades it holds within. Though Rossiter has used a camera, and has made photograms of books and light drawings of horses, she focuses on her experiments with expired paper. Her intimate compositions often resemble moody landscapes or Abstract Expressionist paintings. With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Culture of the Cocktail Hour Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The story of cocktail fashions has several associations with local history. This exhibit will discover some of those people, places and events, including Syracuse's most famous cocktail lounges of days gone by. Cocktails also conjure up the exciting era of the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies flourished during the decade of Prohibition. Displays will include the story of one of the most famous local speakeasies, located just a few hundred feet from the OH Museum, including a menu of its libations, and the tale of the police raid that shut it down. Also on exhibit, along with other documents and artifacts of the era will be an original federal court ledger listing arrests and convictions across the state for Prohibition violations and a local brewery's recipes for "near beer" and flavored sodas, which helped keep them in business through the infamous "dry" years when America famously tried unsuccessfully to eliminate intoxicating beverages from its culture.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Shadows: Fernando Orellana Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The interactive artworks found in Shadows are designed to be used posthumously. Inspired by paranormal research, spiritualism, and ghost folklore, these machines continuously search for the dead, attempting to allow the departed continued use of their worldly possessions. Extracted from recent estate sales, the personal objects found in these techno-effigies are in a constant state of potential energy, awaiting their owner's return. By monitoring sudden fluctuations in temperature, infrared, and electromagnetic readings, the machines try to open a channel or doorway into the neither world. By this, each machine gives the dead an opportunity or proxy to continue interacting in this world and the next.

Gallery 4040
4040 New Court Ave (off Midler),
Syracuse
A contemporary drawing show featuring works by Anne Novado, Donalee Peden Wesley, Elena Peteva, and Melissa Zarem. This exhibition focuses on some of the different approaches artists have in the practice of drawing. At times the immediacy of the mark made by drawing material is enough to convey a response, thought or idea, whereas other times the artist becomes absorbed in the process of layering, adding and subtracting to arrive at the image they were compelled to find. What is so fascinating is even with all the technology around us, the practice of drawing is still very fresh and ongoing.

In The Body of Justice University Lectures Featuring Eve Ensler
Price: Free Hendricks Chapel
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Tony Award-winning playwright, performer, and activist Eve Ensler's work The Vagina Monologues has been translated into over 48 languages, performed in over 140 countries, including sold-out runs at both Off-Broadway's Westside Theater and on London's West End (2002 Olivier Award nomination, Best Entertainment), and has run for 10 years in Mexico City and Paris. Her experience performing The Vagina Monologues inspired her to create V-Day, a global activist movement to stop violence against women and girls which raises funds and awareness through benefit productions and other artistic works. To date, the V-Day movement has raised over $90 million and educated millions. Ensler has devoted her life to stopping violence, envisioning a planet in which women and girls will be free to thrive, rather than merely survive. V-Day's newest campaign, ONE BILLION RISING launched in February 2012, and has been active on the Syracuse University campus through the student group Students Advocating Sexual Safety and Empowerment (SASSE). Ensler travelled to Eastern Democratic Republic of Congo in 2007 to meet with and learn from women survivors of violence. It was these women who birthed the idea of the City of Joy, a place to live in community so that they could heal. V-Day opened the City of Joy with a high-profile ceremony in February 2011 and the first class of women began in June 2011.
