Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen
Light Work Gallery

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

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

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

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

Lodging Landmark: The Heritage of the Hotel Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Price: Free
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

The exhibit will feature 20 framed images along with a small selection of original archival items and artifacts. Fourteen historic images will be drawn from the extensive photographic files on the hotel maintained in the OHA's permanent collection. These range from a 1923 view of construction to the 1948 interior of the famous Rainbow Lounge, along with historic scenes of the Cavalier Room, the Persian Terrace and other locations from its heyday. Additionally, there will be a half-dozen recent interior images taken this year by professional photographer Bruce Harvey. These show that the hotel still maintains an irreplaceable majesty despite years of faded glory. The hotel, which opened in 1924, has been closed and dormant for several years but a new owner has begun a massive project to renovate it for the future while restoring its grand architecture.

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Price: Free
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit.

Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century.

This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union.

The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present:
* The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees
* Businesses and industries that Armenians created here
* The importance of their religious and social identity
* Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

Extra|ordinary Reflections: Works from the Robert Infarinato Collection
Syracuse University Art Museum

Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University, Syracuse

An exhibition that examines the reflective relationship between photographers, their subjects and the audience, featuring 35 photographic portraits from the collection of SU alumnus Robert M. Infarinato and curated by students in the College of Visual and Performing Arts Graduate Program in Museum Studies course Advanced Curatorship, under the guidance of Professor Edward A. Aiken.

Whether the scene is staged or candid, public or private, whether the subject is famous or unknown, portraits can reveal a person's qualities, interests, and attitudes in the click of a camera lens. In portraiture, three potential players hold power: the viewer, the subject, and artist. Power relationships are held between two or all of these players. Extra|ordinary Reflections blurs the lines between all three key players so that the viewer can actively seek out the extraordinary in the seemingly ordinary.

Patrons and potential visitors are encouraged to follow Extra|ordinary Reflections on Instragram via @Extraordinaryreflections and post images using the hashtag #extraordinaryreflections for a chance to be featured.

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

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

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

Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 members, $10 non-members, $8 students/military/educators/seniors, $30 family, children under 10 free
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The exhibition features 35 masterworks, drawn from the permanent collection of the Munson-Williams-Proctor Arts Institute in Utica. Prendergast to Pollock includes important paintings by many of the leading progressive and avant-garde American artists who shaped the history of American art in the first half of the 20th century, including, Charles E. Burchfield (1893-1967), Arthur B. Davies (1862-1928), Arthur G. Dove (1880-1946), Arshile Gorky (1904-48), Edward Hopper (1882-1967), George B. Luks (1866-1933), Reginald Marsh (1898-1954), Jackson Pollock (1912-56), Maurice B. Prendergast (1858-1924), Theodoros Stamos (1922-97), and Mark Tobey (1890-1976). Additional works are drawn from the Everson Museum's permanent collection.

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

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

Moon Over Buffalo
Appleseed Productions
Pamela Kelley, director

Price: $18 regular, $15 students, $12 seniors
Atonement Lutheran Church
116 W. Glen Ave., Syracuse

The finale to our Main Stage season will be the comedy Moon Over Buffalo, which saw Carol Burnett's return to Broadway in 1995 after a 30-year absence.

In the madcap comedy tradition of Lend me a Tenor, also by Ken Ludwig, the hilarious Moon Over Buffalo centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s. At the moment, they're playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo with five actors. On the brink of a disastrous split-up, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom.

Ragtime
Celebration of the Arts
Liam Fitzpatrick, director

Price: $10
Atonement Lutheran Church
116 W. Glen Ave., Syracuse

Ragtime, which begins in 1906, follows the changes in the new century through the eyes of three diverse families: Coalhouse, a prominent African American pianist who plays Scott Joplin's "new music" called ragtime that is taking the new century by storm, and his family--Sarah, the woman he loves and their son; Tateh and his daughter from Latvia who emigrated with hopes of a new life in a new land; and Mother, Father, their son Edgar, Mother's Younger Brother, and Grandfather, an upper middle class wealthy white family whose comfortable world in New Rochelle is rocked by the changing world that starts to quickly present itself. As these three families are confronted by the tumultuous world of the early 20th century, each life intertwines with prominent figures like Booker T. Washington, Henry Ford, Evelyn Nesbit, Emma Goldman, J.P. Morgan, and Harry Houdini, and each faces the struggles of the age and the promise of the new century: women who want to leave the home and make their own way, African Americans demanding true equality with all other men and women, immigrants yearning for the same chance at the American dream as anyone born on American soil.

The cast will include a large ensemble on stage, a 60-person choir in the choir loft, and a 20-person orchestra. The production is musically directed by Abel Searor. Ragtime is produced by St. David's Celebration of the Arts and is co-produced with Salt City Center for the Performing Arts, Appleseed Productions, The Paul Robeson Performing Arts Center, and the Onondaga Historical Association.

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen
Light Work Gallery

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

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

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

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

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Price: Free
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit.

Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century.

This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union.

The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present:
* The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees
* Businesses and industries that Armenians created here
* The importance of their religious and social identity
* Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen
Light Work Gallery

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

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

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

Metz spent the month of August 1985 as an artist-in-residence at Light Work. Metz was the was a professor at the University of Colorado, Boulder; director of Education at the International Center of Photography; and head of the photography department at the Rhode Island School of Design.

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Price: Free
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit.

Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century.

This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union.

The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present:
* The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees
* Businesses and industries that Armenians created here
* The importance of their religious and social identity
* Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

Cauleen Smith: Crow Requiem
Urban Video Project

Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Crows are well known for their mythological reputation as tricksters and harbingers of death, but less for the reality that they are creatures of remarkable intelligence who lead complex social lives. Cauleen Smith became fascinated by these misunderstood animals when she noticed the massive flock of crows roosting outside her bedroom window during her artist residency at Light Work. She learned that the native population of crows circulates between Syracuse and nearby Auburn; and that this migration is partly in response to harassment and, at times, state-sanctioned violence at the hands of a human population who view them as a nuisance.

Smith interweaves the figure of the crow through the histories of these two cities, both of which were key stations on the Underground Railroad and innovators in early cinematic and 3D optical technologies. "Crow Requiem" connects this history to recent and ongoing violence against people of color at the hands of the state. Shot on location in Central New York, and featuring selections from Onondaga Historical Association's extensive archive of 19th-century stereoscopic images.

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen
Light Work Gallery

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

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

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

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

Seth Glier's show in February 2013 was among the more eye-opening of recent vintage. He returns (with accompanying sax and bass) to close our season.

Despite his relatively young age, Seth Glier is a seasoned troubadour. A singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who averages over 250 live performances annually, Glier has gone from opening act to headlining his own shows and playing major festivals. He's shared the stage with the likes of James Taylor, Ani DiFranco, Ryan Adams, and Emmylou Harris, and has quickly become known for his passionate live sets and powerful command of both piano and guitar.

His music has caught the ears of fans, industry and critics alike. Building on the acclaim of his Grammy nominated sophomore album The Next Right Thing, Glier's subsequent record Things I Should Let You Know was called "a genuine revelation" by Blurt magazine, and was praised by M Music & Musicians Magazine for its "shimmering, seductive melodies".

Glier will be joined on stage by accomplished saxophonist Joe Nerney and Marc Seedorf on bass.

Appleseed Productions

Price: $18 regular, $15 students/seniors
Atonement Lutheran Church

The finale to our Main Stage season will be the comedy Moon Over Buffalo, which saw Carol Burnett's return to Broadway in 1995 after a 30-year absence.

In the madcap comedy tradition of Lend me a Tenor, also by Ken Ludwig, the hilarious Moon Over Buffalo centers on George and Charlotte Hay, fading stars of the 1950s. At the moment, they're playing Private Lives and Cyrano De Bergerac in rep in Buffalo with five actors. On the brink of a disastrous split-up, they receive word that they might just have one last shot at stardom.

Gary Metz: Quaking Aspen
Light Work Gallery

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

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

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

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

With Open Arms: The Story of Armenians in Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Price: Free
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

Syracuse's rich Armenian history is a little known story that can be discovered in this exhibit.

Syracuse has a long historical legacy with the people of Armenia. There is a vibrant community here today of Armenian-Americans, some recent arrivals and others whose ancestors came to Central New York in the late 19th century.

This year, 2015, holds special significance for that community because of the atrocities Armenian suffered in their homeland, inside the Ottoman Empire, 100 years ago during World War I. Those hardships led many Armenian families to relocate to Syracuse, where there already was a small but vigorous Armenian community. After World War I, Syracuse Armenians were also active participants with international efforts to establish an independent Armenian nation. That would not become reality, however, until 1992 with the breakup of the Soviet Union.

The exhibit will feature many images and artifacts that explore the saga of the local Armenian community from the 1890s to the present:
* The assistance that local Syracusans, such as SU Chancellor James Day played in helping Armenian refugees
* Businesses and industries that Armenians created here
* The importance of their religious and social identity
* Involvement that Syracuse Armenians had with national leaders in trying to establish an independent Armenia in 1918-1920

Lodging Landmark: The Heritage of the Hotel Syracuse
Onondaga Historical Association

Price: Free
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

The exhibit will feature 20 framed images along with a small selection of original archival items and artifacts. Fourteen historic images will be drawn from the extensive photographic files on the hotel maintained in the OHA's permanent collection.

Additionally, there will be a half-dozen recent interior images taken this year by professional photographer Bruce Harvey. These show that the hotel still maintains an irreplaceable majesty despite years of faded glory. The hotel, which opened in 1924, has been closed and dormant for several years but a new owner has begun a massive project to renovate it for the future while restoring its grand architecture.
