Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home
Light Work Gallery

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

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

*SOLD OUT* Lizzie Borden Took an Axe

Price: $20
Barnes Hiscock Mansion
930 James St., Syracuse

A multiple-award winner, Garrett Heater's Lizzie Borden Took an Axe utilizes court transcripts and inquest testimonies to bring the drama to life in a chronologically faithful adaptation. Striving to be the most historically accurate play written regarding the notorious events, the audience is challenged in an unbiased manner to come to their own conclusions as to who perpetrated the crimes.

Set throughout the rooms of the mansion, the play recreates scenes leading up to and immediately after the 1892 double-murder of wealthy businessman Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby Durfee Gray Borden. Both were found mutilated in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts, by hatchet or axe and Andrew's 32 year old daughter Lizzie (step-daughter of Abby) was indicted and stood trial for the crime. She was eventually acquitted of the gruesome homicides and the crime has remained unsolved for over 120 years. Following her acquittal, Lizzie Borden remained in Fall River. Her friends and neighbors, once staunch supporters of her innocence, quickly left her side after the trial and she became a social pariah.

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe will thrill audiences once again this fall, having sold out of all performances at the Barnes-Hiscock Mansion over the past two years.

Tickets are available at 315-422-2445 or online at www.grbarnes.org/lizzie-borden-took-an-axe.

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

*SOLD OUT* Lizzie Borden Took an Axe

Price: $20
Barnes Hiscock Mansion
930 James St., Syracuse

A multiple-award winner, Garrett Heater's Lizzie Borden Took an Axe utilizes court transcripts and inquest testimonies to bring the drama to life in a chronologically faithful adaptation. Striving to be the most historically accurate play written regarding the notorious events, the audience is challenged in an unbiased manner to come to their own conclusions as to who perpetrated the crimes.

Set throughout the rooms of the mansion, the play recreates scenes leading up to and immediately after the 1892 double-murder of wealthy businessman Andrew Borden and his second wife, Abby Durfee Gray Borden. Both were found mutilated in their home in Fall River, Massachusetts, by hatchet or axe and Andrew's 32 year old daughter Lizzie (step-daughter of Abby) was indicted and stood trial for the crime. She was eventually acquitted of the gruesome homicides and the crime has remained unsolved for over 120 years. Following her acquittal, Lizzie Borden remained in Fall River. Her friends and neighbors, once staunch supporters of her innocence, quickly left her side after the trial and she became a social pariah.

Lizzie Borden Took an Axe will thrill audiences once again this fall, having sold out of all performances at the Barnes-Hiscock Mansion over the past two years.

Tickets are available at 315-422-2445 or online at www.grbarnes.org/lizzie-borden-took-an-axe.
