The Archive in Motion
Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center

Price: Free
Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University, Syracuse

This exhibition explores the concept of movement through the materials held by SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center. Organized around a set of interlinked themes—color, combat, magic, transportation, dance, drawing, athletics, and gravity—the exhibition encompasses rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and original artworks spanning the 15th and 20th centuries. Inspired by the eccentric library of the art historian Aby Warburg and informed by the theoretical discourse on the archive formulated by Walter Benjamin, Jorge Luis Borges, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault, this exhibition highlights the unique character of the collections at Syracuse. From Albert Einstein's original handwritten research paper "On Rotationally Symmetric Stationary Gravitational Fields," through stunning photographs of ballet dancers Paul Draper and George Skibine, to pochoir prints hand-painted by Native Americans, this exhibition not only attends to the representation of movement found in the collections, but it suggests that the archive is itself always in motion.

Community Folk Art Center
805 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

"Three in Harmony" is an expressive collection of contemporary pieces that are artfully inspired from the Korean ceramic tradition. The artists, Eunjung Shin-Vargas, Jee Eun Lee, and Veronica Byun, have used their modern consciousness to create a deeply sensory experience with gentle Korean traditions. They've articulated a universal relevancy to the human condition, personal relationships, culture, and womanhood in each of their pieces. Even with each artist possessing a distinct personal style, the pieces fuse seamlessly to create this compelling, striking exhibition.

Dan Wetmore: Golden Dawn
Light Work Gallery

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

Light Work and Community Darkrooms are pleased to present Dan Wetmore's exhibition Golden Dawn, a series of pictures made from 2009-2012, in and between Flint, MI, Binghamton, NY, Cleveland, OH, Wheeling, WV, and Pittsburgh, PA.

Artist statement: I grew up in Pittsburgh. My parents enjoyed driving around and hunting for furniture on the weekends and I got to see much of the city this way. I was taken by the furnaces and mills that lined the rivers--these giant, dark carcasses. At home, the only photo book my parents had was a paperback of Becher typologies and I looked at the blast furnaces and mineheads for hours. Once mobile at sixteen, I explored these places intimately. With a developing fondness and understanding, I began to photograph in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Michael Bühler-Rose: New Geographics
Light Work Gallery

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Michael Buhler-Rose's practices on multiple platforms influence his production as an artist. He has described his subjects as "theatrical cultural realities" and "feats of representation through place and displacement." Bühler-Rose uses western painting styles: still lifes, landscapes, portraits, to play with previous political notions of Hindu and Indic aesthetics: representations of gods and goddesses, incense, flowers, or the saris or bharatnaytam outfits worn by young women of European descent who live in a Hindu community in Florida. These pictures create a dialogue between the Orient and the Occident, creating a game of mirrors and reflections that interact endlessly, creating a juxtaposition of territories.

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.

"What If...?" Film Series: Gaining Ground
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

Foreclosures. Unemployment. Childhood poverty. All these problems have hit American cities hard since the Great Recession. "Gaining Ground," a follow-up to the award-winning documentary "Holding Ground" (1996), shows how one diverse Boston neighborhood has stemmed the tide against enormous odds. In the midst of the economic meltdown, "Gaining Ground" explores the innovative, grassroots organizing efforts of the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI) in Boston. DSNI was created 25 years ago when the community had been devastated by bank redlining, arson-for-profit, and illegal dumping, and has become one of the preeminent models for community-based change. Over the course of two years, we watch a new generation of leaders working to prevent foreclosures and bring jobs and opportunities for young people to one of the city's most diverse and economically challenged neighborhoods.

The Archive in Motion
Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center

Price: Free
Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University, Syracuse

This exhibition explores the concept of movement through the materials held by SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center. Organized around a set of interlinked themes—color, combat, magic, transportation, dance, drawing, athletics, and gravity—the exhibition encompasses rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and original artworks spanning the 15th and 20th centuries. Inspired by the eccentric library of the art historian Aby Warburg and informed by the theoretical discourse on the archive formulated by Walter Benjamin, Jorge Luis Borges, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault, this exhibition highlights the unique character of the collections at Syracuse. From Albert Einstein's original handwritten research paper "On Rotationally Symmetric Stationary Gravitational Fields," through stunning photographs of ballet dancers Paul Draper and George Skibine, to pochoir prints hand-painted by Native Americans, this exhibition not only attends to the representation of movement found in the collections, but it suggests that the archive is itself always in motion.

Artist statement: I grew up in Pittsburgh. My parents enjoyed driving around and hunting for furniture on the weekends and I got to see much of the city this way. I was taken by the furnaces and mills that lined the rivers--these giant, dark carcasses. At home, the only photo book my parents had was a paperback of Becher typologies and I looked at the blast furnaces and mineheads for hours. Once mobile at sixteen, I explored these places intimately. With a developing fondness and understanding, I began to photograph in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Michael Buhler-Rose's practices on multiple platforms influence his production as an artist. He has described his subjects as "theatrical cultural realities" and "feats of representation through place and displacement." Bühler-Rose uses western painting styles: still lifes, landscapes, portraits, to play with previous political notions of Hindu and Indic aesthetics: representations of gods and goddesses, incense, flowers, or the saris or bharatnaytam outfits worn by young women of European descent who live in a Hindu community in Florida. These pictures create a dialogue between the Orient and the Occident, creating a game of mirrors and reflections that interact endlessly, creating a juxtaposition of territories.

World premiere of table of contents (2013-2014), a new piece by celebrated multimedia artist, Ann Hamilton.

When composer David Lang wrote the score for his notoriously difficult piece, "Table of Contents", he envisioned a nearly-impossible synchronization of two percussionists. After seeing a performance in 2011, Hamilton imagined attaching an array of low-resolution mini surveillance cameras to the hands of the percussionists and instruments. In the resulting piece, Hamilton's "table of contents", the cameras occupy the gap between hearing and seeing. The edit generates a counter-rhythm--a back-and-forth that brings us intimately into "impossible" virtuosity.

The photographs in Constructivism are inspired by some of the great movements in early 20th century art.

Urban Video Project

Price: Free
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

World premiere of table of contents (2013-2014), a new piece by celebrated multimedia artist, Ann Hamilton.

When composer David Lang wrote the score for his notoriously difficult piece, "Table of Contents", he envisioned a nearly-impossible synchronization of two percussionists. After seeing a performance in 2011, Hamilton imagined attaching an array of low-resolution mini surveillance cameras to the hands of the percussionists and instruments. In the resulting piece, Hamilton's "table of contents", the cameras occupy the gap between hearing and seeing. The edit generates a counter-rhythm--a back-and-forth that brings us intimately into "impossible" virtuosity.

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.

Well, spring is finally here. The temperatures have soared into the 50s. The sun is shining, at least once or twice a week. It's that time of year, again, to spruce up things around the ol' homestead. It also means having to repair all those things we pretended to ignore throughout the winter. Be forewarned: do-it-yourself home improvements are nothing but trouble. Every time my dad tried to "fix" something around the house, I learned a new curse word (Home Depot's motto should actually be, "More Doing...More Swearing.")

The Wild Party
Central New York Playhouse
Stephfond Brunson, director

Price: $39.95 dinner theater, $25 show only
CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage), Dewitt

Tonight's show will be preceded by dinner at 6:45 pm.

Adapted from a book-length poem by Joseph Moncure March written in and about the Roaring Twenties, Andrew Lippa's Wild Party tells the story of one wild evening in the Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie and Burrs, a vaudeville dancer and a vaudeville clown. In a relationship marked by vicious behavior and recklessness (mirroring the time in which they live), they decide to throw a party to end all parties.

As the guests arrive, we meet an assortment of people living on the edge. Queenie and Burrs set out to make each other jealous, but Queenie begins to fall in love with her conquest named Black. After a long night of decadence, Burrs' jealousy erupts and he comes to a violent end at Black's hand. In the stark light of a new day, Queenie moves out into a brighter world, although not necessarily a brighter future, leaving the passed-out revelers in her wake.

An award-winning score by Andrew Lippa provides excitement and drive for this tale of passions out of control. Capturing the sound of a bygone era with a nod to the present one, he makes us realize that moral decadence is not only limited to our past.

This CNY amateur premiere of the show is music directed by Abel Searor.

Artist statement: I grew up in Pittsburgh. My parents enjoyed driving around and hunting for furniture on the weekends and I got to see much of the city this way. I was taken by the furnaces and mills that lined the rivers--these giant, dark carcasses. At home, the only photo book my parents had was a paperback of Becher typologies and I looked at the blast furnaces and mineheads for hours. Once mobile at sixteen, I explored these places intimately. With a developing fondness and understanding, I began to photograph in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Light Work Gallery

Michael Buhler-Rose's practices on multiple platforms influence his production as an artist. He has described his subjects as "theatrical cultural realities" and "feats of representation through place and displacement." Bühler-Rose uses western painting styles: still lifes, landscapes, portraits, to play with previous political notions of Hindu and Indic aesthetics: representations of gods and goddesses, incense, flowers, or the saris or bharatnaytam outfits worn by young women of European descent who live in a Hindu community in Florida. These pictures create a dialogue between the Orient and the Occident, creating a game of mirrors and reflections that interact endlessly, creating a juxtaposition of territories.

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

McCoubrey takes on the role of alchemist through her transmutation of the potato into mystical contraptions built to coast above the earth or journey along the desolate landscape. These delicately drawn mixed media works belong to a world of myths and fairytales and bring to mind artists, such as Hieronymous Bosch and Salvador Dali. "Sarah McCoubrey: Works on Paper" is part of the 2014 Edge of Art Series.

Enduring Gift: Chinese Ceramics from the Cloud Wampler Collection
Everson Museum of Art

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

For nine years, beginning in 1960, Cloud Wampler donated some 170 Asian works to the Everson Museum. The collection is dominated by a particularly strong core of Chinese ceramics. Spanning nearly 2,000 years, from the Han Dynasty in 200 BCE to the Ching Dynasty that ended in 1912, this selection offers a survey of forms, styles and glazes that are considered still today to be the pinnacle of aesthetic and technical achievements.

Mary Giehl: Rice is Life
Everson Museum of Art

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

The Everson Biennial returns in 2014 with the Edge of Art Series. The first artist featured is Mary Giehl. Known for her innovation with both materials and concepts, Giehl turns her focus to world hunger in this installation. The sculptural bowls are made from rice and water, the food that so much of the world relies on for nourishment. The bowls are suspended from a world map, which illustrates globally the areas where hunger is greatest and populations rely on rice to live.

Constructivism: Photos by Robert Graham
Gallery 4040

Gallery 4040
4040 New Court Ave (off Midler), Syracuse

The photographs in Constructivism are inspired by some of the great movements in early 20th century art. Photographer Robert Graham cites specifically works by Kasimir Malevich, Wassily Kandinsky and Alexander Rodchenko as having major influence behind this new series. Graham's "Constructivism" exhibition coincides with the release of his book by the same title. For this occasion Graham states, "I put this exhibit and companion book under the Constructivist umbrella in part because of an affinity for Russian art, music, and literature."

Graham, who lives in Rochester, has published images from Syracuse in his book, and included them in this exhibition.

The Wild Party
Central New York Playhouse
Stephfond Brunson, director

Price: $20
CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage), Dewitt

Adapted from a book-length poem by Joseph Moncure March written in and about the Roaring Twenties, Andrew Lippa's Wild Party tells the story of one wild evening in the Manhattan apartment shared by Queenie and Burrs, a vaudeville dancer and a vaudeville clown. In a relationship marked by vicious behavior and recklessness (mirroring the time in which they live), they decide to throw a party to end all parties.

As the guests arrive, we meet an assortment of people living on the edge. Queenie and Burrs set out to make each other jealous, but Queenie begins to fall in love with her conquest named Black. After a long night of decadence, Burrs' jealousy erupts and he comes to a violent end at Black's hand. In the stark light of a new day, Queenie moves out into a brighter world, although not necessarily a brighter future, leaving the passed-out revelers in her wake.

An award-winning score by Andrew Lippa provides excitement and drive for this tale of passions out of control. Capturing the sound of a bygone era with a nod to the present one, he makes us realize that moral decadence is not only limited to our past.

This CNY amateur premiere of the show is music directed by Abel Searor.

The Archive in Motion
Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center

Price: Free
Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University, Syracuse

This exhibition explores the concept of movement through the materials held by SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center. Organized around a set of interlinked themes—color, combat, magic, transportation, dance, drawing, athletics, and gravity—the exhibition encompasses rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and original artworks spanning the 15th and 20th centuries. Inspired by the eccentric library of the art historian Aby Warburg and informed by the theoretical discourse on the archive formulated by Walter Benjamin, Jorge Luis Borges, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault, this exhibition highlights the unique character of the collections at Syracuse. From Albert Einstein's original handwritten research paper "On Rotationally Symmetric Stationary Gravitational Fields," through stunning photographs of ballet dancers Paul Draper and George Skibine, to pochoir prints hand-painted by Native Americans, this exhibition not only attends to the representation of movement found in the collections, but it suggests that the archive is itself always in motion.

Michael Bühler-Rose: New Geographics
Light Work Gallery

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Michael Buhler-Rose's practices on multiple platforms influence his production as an artist. He has described his subjects as "theatrical cultural realities" and "feats of representation through place and displacement." Bühler-Rose uses western painting styles: still lifes, landscapes, portraits, to play with previous political notions of Hindu and Indic aesthetics: representations of gods and goddesses, incense, flowers, or the saris or bharatnaytam outfits worn by young women of European descent who live in a Hindu community in Florida. These pictures create a dialogue between the Orient and the Occident, creating a game of mirrors and reflections that interact endlessly, creating a juxtaposition of territories.

Artist statement: I grew up in Pittsburgh. My parents enjoyed driving around and hunting for furniture on the weekends and I got to see much of the city this way. I was taken by the furnaces and mills that lined the rivers--these giant, dark carcasses. At home, the only photo book my parents had was a paperback of Becher typologies and I looked at the blast furnaces and mineheads for hours. Once mobile at sixteen, I explored these places intimately. With a developing fondness and understanding, I began to photograph in the surrounding neighborhoods.

"What If...?" Film Series: Gaining Ground
Gifford Foundation

Price: Free
Tucker Missionary Baptist Church
515 Oakwood Ave., Syracuse

Foreclosures. Unemployment. Childhood poverty. All these problems have hit American cities hard since the Great Recession. "Gaining Ground," a follow-up to the award-winning documentary "Holding Ground" (1996), shows how one diverse Boston neighborhood has stemmed the tide against enormous odds. In the midst of the economic meltdown, "Gaining Ground" explores the innovative, grassroots organizing efforts of the Dudley Street Neighborhood Initiative (DSNI) in Boston. DSNI was created 25 years ago when the community had been devastated by bank redlining, arson-for-profit, and illegal dumping, and has become one of the preeminent models for community-based change. Over the course of two years, we watch a new generation of leaders working to prevent foreclosures and bring jobs and opportunities for young people to one of the city's most diverse and economically challenged neighborhoods.
