Patterns in History: Vintage Quilts of Onondaga County
Onondaga Historical Association

Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

Approximately 20 crazy, patchwork, signature, applique, log cabin, and children's quilts, as well as individual quilt squares from the 1850s to the early 20th century, will adorn OHA's second floor gallery this summer and fall. Decorated with beautiful fabrics, patterns, and embroidered characters, OHA's collection represents the array of vintage quilts once used throughout Onondaga County. While some quilts were primarily utilitarian, made to keep their users warm, others were elaborate show pieces that highlighted the artistic skill of the maker. The collection also contains several quilts created to commemorate local people and/or events. A selection of intricate, colorful and even amusing quilts of excellent quality will be on display for all to see!

During the quilt exhibit, OHA will raffle off a new quilt made by local quilter and businesswoman Joan Ford. The lap-sized quilt, named "Diamond Jubilee," is nearly all hand-pieced with floral fabrics cut into hexagons and triangles. The hand-quilting and hand embroidered details add to the vintage look of this special quilt.

James Rosenquist: Illustrious Works on Paper, Illuminating Paintings
Syracuse University Art Museum

Price: Free
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University, Syracuse

The SU Art Galleries is pleased to announce the exhibition "James Rosenquist: Illustrious Works on Paper, Illuminating Paintings." Developed in collaboration with the Oklahoma State Museum of Art and curated by Sarah C. Bancroft, co-curator of the artist's 2003 retrospective at the Guggenheim Museum, "Illustrious Works on Paper, Illuminating Paintings" investigates the impact Rosenquist has had, and continues to have, on American art. The exhibition presents over 35 works from the artist's long career, including examples of his earliest abstractions from the 1950s and his exploration and evolution into Pop Art.

James Rosenquist (American, b. 1933) became well known in the 1960s as a leader in the American Pop art movement alongside contemporaries Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, and Claes Oldenburg, and for more than five decades has created seminal works in printmaking, collage, drawing, and painting.

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri
Everson Museum of Art

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

Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.

Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989)
Light Work Gallery

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

Light Work, in partnership with Autograph ABP, is pleased to present Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989), a solo retrospective of the work of this seminal and highly influential figure in 1980s Black British and African contemporary art. Although his career was cut short by his untimely death at the age of 34, Fani-Kayode nonetheless remains an important influence in contemporary photography.

Curated in collaboration with Mark Sealy and Rene´e Mussai of Autograph ABP, whose co-founder and first chair was Fani-Kayode, the exhibition features a selection of his most important photographic works produced between 1985-1989, including large-scale color works and arresting black and white images. Fani-Kayode's photographic portraits explore complex personal and politically engaged notions of desire, spirituality and cultural dislocation. They depict the black male body as a focal point both to interpret and probe the boundaries of spiritual and erotic fantasy, and of cultural and sexual difference. Ancestral rituals and a provocative, multi-layered symbolism fuse with archetypal motifs from European and African cultures and subcultures, inspired by what Yoruba priests call "the technique of ecstasy." Hence Fani-Kayode uses the medium of photography not only to question issues of sexuality and homoerotic desire, but also to address themes of diaspora and belonging, and the tensions between his homosexuality and his Yoruba upbringing. This exhibition coincides with the introduction of new punitive legislation in Nigeria, Fani-Kayode's country of birth, as well as other countries in Africa in recent years outlawing same-sex marriages and membership in gay rights organizations.

2015 Light Work Grants in Photography Exhibition: Allison Beondé, Thilde Jensen, Costa Sakellariou
Light Work Gallery

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

Allison Beondé is a visual artist currently living in Syracuse. She holds her B.F.A. from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in partnership with Tufts University. She has exhibited work in the Boston area and is the recipient of a 2015 Traveling Fellowship through the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Thilde Jensen was born in Denmark and moved to New York City in 1997. Six years later, her life and career as a documentary and editorial photographer were cut short by a sudden development of severe environmental illness. Jensen's first monograph, The Canaries, is about environmental illness and was published in 2013. It has since received much international acclaim. Her book was selected by many as one of the best photobooks of the year 2013. The Canaries was shortlisted for the Paris Photo/Aperture Foundation First Photobook Award 2013, longlisted for the Kraszna-Krausz Book Awards 2014, nominated for the Kassel Best Photobook Award 2014, and is in the collection at MoMA. The project has been exhibited in solo shows at Light Work and the Center for Photography at Woodstock, NY; featured in the New York Times, Esquire Russia, Wired.com rawfile, Vision Magazine China, Business Insider, Slate.com; and selected for Slate.com's Best Photography Shows of 2012. The Canaries was featured in the TONY: 2012 exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse. Jensen is a 2013 NYFA Fellowship recipient.

Costa Sakellariou is a photographer currently living and working in Binghamton, NY. From the mid-1980s until 1992, he was a working photographer based in Athens, Islamabad, and New Delhi. His clients were the weekly news magazines and his work was represented by JB Pictures in New York City. In 1992, he began work on a long-term project on the dwindling Greek population of Istanbul. The project was published as a book titled The Last Greeks of Istanbul, and was one of the first photobooks to be published in Greece. The Benaki Museum plans to acquire a portfolio of the work for their permanent photography collection. In 1998, Sakellariou and his wife moved to Binghamton. A year later, he began teaching photography at Binghamton University, where he continues to teach today.

9 To 5: The Musical
Central New York Playhouse
Stephfond Brunson, director

Price: $22
CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage), Dewitt

Based on the 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.

Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy--giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?

Music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, book by Patricia Resnick, based on the 20th Century Fox picture. Music direction by Abel Searor.

Price: $89, $79, $59
Landmark Theatre
362 S. Salina St., Syracuse

Tyler Perry is coming to the Landmark Theatre in his new and highly-anticipated live stage play, Madea on the Run. Madea is at it again in Tyler Perry's most outrageously funny stage play ever. In trouble with local authorities, Mabel Simmons, notoriously known as Madea, is on the run from the law. With no place to turn, she volunteers to move in with her friend Bam who is recovering from hip replacement surgery. Bam is so grateful that her faithful friend Mabel is putting her life on hold in order to nurse her back to health. Unknown to Bam however, Madea is only using the concerned friend gag as a way to hide out from the police. But as they say...all things work together for the good of those who love the Lord are are called according to his purpose. Madea's presence at Bam's house is just what the doctor ordered. Bam's family is in desperate need of some home improvement, and it is the only kind of family makeover that Madea could deliver.

Tyler Perry stars as Madea and Cassi Davis as Aunt Bam. MADEA ON THE RUN delivers a couple hours of pure joy and laughter. With brand new music written by Tyler Perry, the show delivers a finger snapping and inspirational evening of theater. Madea's life lessons on friendship, marriage, personal reflection and overcoming, leave audiences with some great good for the soul.

Tickets available at the Landmark Theatre Box Office, by phone at 315-475-7979, or online at TicketMaster.com.

Light Work Gallery

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

Allison Beondé is a visual artist currently living in Syracuse. She holds her B.F.A. from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in partnership with Tufts University. She has exhibited work in the Boston area and is the recipient of a 2015 Traveling Fellowship through the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Thilde Jensen was born in Denmark and moved to New York City in 1997. Six years later, her life and career as a documentary and editorial photographer were cut short by a sudden development of severe environmental illness. Jensen's first monograph, The Canaries, is about environmental illness and was published in 2013. It has since received much international acclaim. Her book was selected by many as one of the best photobooks of the year 2013. The Canaries was shortlisted for the Paris Photo/Aperture Foundation First Photobook Award 2013, longlisted for the Kraszna-Krausz Book Awards 2014, nominated for the Kassel Best Photobook Award 2014, and is in the collection at MoMA. The project has been exhibited in solo shows at Light Work and the Center for Photography at Woodstock, NY; featured in the New York Times, Esquire Russia, Wired.com rawfile, Vision Magazine China, Business Insider, Slate.com; and selected for Slate.com's Best Photography Shows of 2012. The Canaries was featured in the TONY: 2012 exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse. Jensen is a 2013 NYFA Fellowship recipient.

Costa Sakellariou is a photographer currently living and working in Binghamton, NY. From the mid-1980s until 1992, he was a working photographer based in Athens, Islamabad, and New Delhi. His clients were the weekly news magazines and his work was represented by JB Pictures in New York City. In 1992, he began work on a long-term project on the dwindling Greek population of Istanbul. The project was published as a book titled The Last Greeks of Istanbul, and was one of the first photobooks to be published in Greece. The Benaki Museum plans to acquire a portfolio of the work for their permanent photography collection. In 1998, Sakellariou and his wife moved to Binghamton. A year later, he began teaching photography at Binghamton University, where he continues to teach today.

Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989)
Light Work Gallery

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

Light Work, in partnership with Autograph ABP, is pleased to present Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989), a solo retrospective of the work of this seminal and highly influential figure in 1980s Black British and African contemporary art. Although his career was cut short by his untimely death at the age of 34, Fani-Kayode nonetheless remains an important influence in contemporary photography.

Curated in collaboration with Mark Sealy and Rene´e Mussai of Autograph ABP, whose co-founder and first chair was Fani-Kayode, the exhibition features a selection of his most important photographic works produced between 1985-1989, including large-scale color works and arresting black and white images. Fani-Kayode's photographic portraits explore complex personal and politically engaged notions of desire, spirituality and cultural dislocation. They depict the black male body as a focal point both to interpret and probe the boundaries of spiritual and erotic fantasy, and of cultural and sexual difference. Ancestral rituals and a provocative, multi-layered symbolism fuse with archetypal motifs from European and African cultures and subcultures, inspired by what Yoruba priests call "the technique of ecstasy." Hence Fani-Kayode uses the medium of photography not only to question issues of sexuality and homoerotic desire, but also to address themes of diaspora and belonging, and the tensions between his homosexuality and his Yoruba upbringing. This exhibition coincides with the introduction of new punitive legislation in Nigeria, Fani-Kayode's country of birth, as well as other countries in Africa in recent years outlawing same-sex marriages and membership in gay rights organizations.

Approximately 20 crazy, patchwork, signature, applique, log cabin, and children's quilts, as well as individual quilt squares from the 1850s to the early 20th century, will adorn OHA's second floor gallery this summer and fall. Decorated with beautiful fabrics, patterns, and embroidered characters, OHA's collection represents the array of vintage quilts once used throughout Onondaga County. While some quilts were primarily utilitarian, made to keep their users warm, others were elaborate show pieces that highlighted the artistic skill of the maker. The collection also contains several quilts created to commemorate local people and/or events. A selection of intricate, colorful and even amusing quilts of excellent quality will be on display for all to see!

During the quilt exhibit, OHA will raffle off a new quilt made by local quilter and businesswoman Joan Ford. The lap-sized quilt, named "Diamond Jubilee," is nearly all hand-pieced with floral fabrics cut into hexagons and triangles.

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri
Everson Museum of Art

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

Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.

Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989)
Light Work Gallery

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

There will be an exhibit reception this evening 5:00-7:00 pm.

Light Work, in partnership with Autograph ABP, is pleased to present Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989), a solo retrospective of the work of this seminal and highly influential figure in 1980s Black British and African contemporary art. Although his career was cut short by his untimely death at the age of 34, Fani-Kayode nonetheless remains an important influence in contemporary photography.

Curated in collaboration with Mark Sealy and Rene´e Mussai of Autograph ABP, whose co-founder and first chair was Fani-Kayode, the exhibition features a selection of his most important photographic works produced between 1985-1989, including large-scale color works and arresting black and white images. Fani-Kayode's photographic portraits explore complex personal and politically engaged notions of desire, spirituality and cultural dislocation. They depict the black male body as a focal point both to interpret and probe the boundaries of spiritual and erotic fantasy, and of cultural and sexual difference. Ancestral rituals and a provocative, multi-layered symbolism fuse with archetypal motifs from European and African cultures and subcultures, inspired by what Yoruba priests call "the technique of ecstasy." Hence Fani-Kayode uses the medium of photography not only to question issues of sexuality and homoerotic desire, but also to address themes of diaspora and belonging, and the tensions between his homosexuality and his Yoruba upbringing. This exhibition coincides with the introduction of new punitive legislation in Nigeria, Fani-Kayode's country of birth, as well as other countries in Africa in recent years outlawing same-sex marriages and membership in gay rights organizations.

Light Work Gallery

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

There will be an exhibit reception this evening 5:00-7:00 pm.

Allison Beondé is a visual artist currently living in Syracuse. She holds her B.F.A. from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in partnership with Tufts University. She has exhibited work in the Boston area and is the recipient of a 2015 Traveling Fellowship through the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Thilde Jensen was born in Denmark and moved to New York City in 1997. Six years later, her life and career as a documentary and editorial photographer were cut short by a sudden development of severe environmental illness. Jensen's first monograph, The Canaries, is about environmental illness and was published in 2013. It has since received much international acclaim. Her book was selected by many as one of the best photobooks of the year 2013. The Canaries was shortlisted for the Paris Photo/Aperture Foundation First Photobook Award 2013, longlisted for the Kraszna-Krausz Book Awards 2014, nominated for the Kassel Best Photobook Award 2014, and is in the collection at MoMA. The project has been exhibited in solo shows at Light Work and the Center for Photography at Woodstock, NY; featured in the New York Times, Esquire Russia, Wired.com rawfile, Vision Magazine China, Business Insider, Slate.com; and selected for Slate.com's Best Photography Shows of 2012. The Canaries was featured in the TONY: 2012 exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse. Jensen is a 2013 NYFA Fellowship recipient.

Costa Sakellariou is a photographer currently living and working in Binghamton, NY. From the mid-1980s until 1992, he was a working photographer based in Athens, Islamabad, and New Delhi. His clients were the weekly news magazines and his work was represented by JB Pictures in New York City. In 1992, he began work on a long-term project on the dwindling Greek population of Istanbul. The project was published as a book titled The Last Greeks of Istanbul, and was one of the first photobooks to be published in Greece. The Benaki Museum plans to acquire a portfolio of the work for their permanent photography collection. In 1998, Sakellariou and his wife moved to Binghamton. A year later, he began teaching photography at Binghamton University, where he continues to teach today.

"Leviathan" (2012) is a groundbreaking, immersive portrait of the contemporary commercial fishing industry. Filmed off the coast of New Bedford, MA, "Leviathan" follows a hulking groundfish trawler into the surrounding murky black waters on a weeks-long fishing expedition. But instead of romanticizing the labor, filmmakers Lucien Castaing-Taylor ("Sweetgrass") and Véréna Paravel ("Foreign Parts") of Sensory Ethnography Lab present a vivid, almost kaleidoscopic representation of the work, the sea, the machinery and the players, both human and marine. The film that emerges is unlike anything that has been seen before. Entirely dialogue-free, but mesmerizing and gripping throughout, it is a cosmic portrait of one of mankind's oldest endeavors.

Based on the 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.

Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy--giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?

Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University, Syracuse

"The Automobile" provides a sampling of the ways in which the automobile evolved in the Syracuse area and a glimpse into the innovations of some of the most significant mid-20th-century automobile designers. The centerpiece of the exhibition is the air-cooled Franklin car, the most famous of Syracuse's automobile lines, with its remarkably flexible and durable wooden frame.

The exhibition will also include drawings, sketches, and photographs from SCRC's industrial design collections by designers Howard A. Darrin, Claude Hill, Raymond Loewy, Budd Steinhilber, and Walter Dorwin Teague. Darrin was known for his designs for exotic luxury and sports cars. Claude Hill created some important concept car designs, while Raymond Loewy's photographs document a number of striking Studebaker model designs. Budd Steinhilber was a member of the design team for the revolutionary rear-engine 1948 Tucker automobile, and Walter Dorwin Teague designed for both the Ford Motor Company and the Marmon Motor Company.

2015 Light Work Grants in Photography Exhibition: Allison Beondé, Thilde Jensen, Costa Sakellariou
Light Work Gallery

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

Allison Beondé is a visual artist currently living in Syracuse. She holds her B.F.A. from the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in partnership with Tufts University. She has exhibited work in the Boston area and is the recipient of a 2015 Traveling Fellowship through the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.

Thilde Jensen was born in Denmark and moved to New York City in 1997. Six years later, her life and career as a documentary and editorial photographer were cut short by a sudden development of severe environmental illness. Jensen's first monograph, The Canaries, is about environmental illness and was published in 2013. It has since received much international acclaim. Her book was selected by many as one of the best photobooks of the year 2013. The Canaries was shortlisted for the Paris Photo/Aperture Foundation First Photobook Award 2013, longlisted for the Kraszna-Krausz Book Awards 2014, nominated for the Kassel Best Photobook Award 2014, and is in the collection at MoMA. The project has been exhibited in solo shows at Light Work and the Center for Photography at Woodstock, NY; featured in the New York Times, Esquire Russia, Wired.com rawfile, Vision Magazine China, Business Insider, Slate.com; and selected for Slate.com's Best Photography Shows of 2012. The Canaries was featured in the TONY: 2012 exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art in Syracuse. Jensen is a 2013 NYFA Fellowship recipient.

Costa Sakellariou is a photographer currently living and working in Binghamton, NY. From the mid-1980s until 1992, he was a working photographer based in Athens, Islamabad, and New Delhi. His clients were the weekly news magazines and his work was represented by JB Pictures in New York City. In 1992, he began work on a long-term project on the dwindling Greek population of Istanbul. The project was published as a book titled The Last Greeks of Istanbul, and was one of the first photobooks to be published in Greece. The Benaki Museum plans to acquire a portfolio of the work for their permanent photography collection. In 1998, Sakellariou and his wife moved to Binghamton. A year later, he began teaching photography at Binghamton University, where he continues to teach today.

Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989)
Light Work Gallery

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

Light Work, in partnership with Autograph ABP, is pleased to present Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989), a solo retrospective of the work of this seminal and highly influential figure in 1980s Black British and African contemporary art. Although his career was cut short by his untimely death at the age of 34, Fani-Kayode nonetheless remains an important influence in contemporary photography.

Curated in collaboration with Mark Sealy and Rene´e Mussai of Autograph ABP, whose co-founder and first chair was Fani-Kayode, the exhibition features a selection of his most important photographic works produced between 1985-1989, including large-scale color works and arresting black and white images. Fani-Kayode's photographic portraits explore complex personal and politically engaged notions of desire, spirituality and cultural dislocation. They depict the black male body as a focal point both to interpret and probe the boundaries of spiritual and erotic fantasy, and of cultural and sexual difference. Ancestral rituals and a provocative, multi-layered symbolism fuse with archetypal motifs from European and African cultures and subcultures, inspired by what Yoruba priests call "the technique of ecstasy." Hence Fani-Kayode uses the medium of photography not only to question issues of sexuality and homoerotic desire, but also to address themes of diaspora and belonging, and the tensions between his homosexuality and his Yoruba upbringing. This exhibition coincides with the introduction of new punitive legislation in Nigeria, Fani-Kayode's country of birth, as well as other countries in Africa in recent years outlawing same-sex marriages and membership in gay rights organizations.

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri
Everson Museum of Art

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

Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.

Leviathan
Urban Video Project

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

"Leviathan" (2012) is a groundbreaking, immersive portrait of the contemporary commercial fishing industry. Filmed off the coast of New Bedford, MA, "Leviathan" follows a hulking groundfish trawler into the surrounding murky black waters on a weeks-long fishing expedition. But instead of romanticizing the labor, filmmakers Lucien Castaing-Taylor ("Sweetgrass") and Véréna Paravel ("Foreign Parts") of Sensory Ethnography Lab present a vivid, almost kaleidoscopic representation of the work, the sea, the machinery and the players, both human and marine. The film that emerges is unlike anything that has been seen before. Entirely dialogue-free, but mesmerizing and gripping throughout, it is a cosmic portrait of one of mankind's oldest endeavors.

Price: $25

Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage), Dewitt

Based on the 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.

Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy--giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?

Music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, book by Patricia Resnick, based on the 20th Century Fox picture. Music direction by Abel Searor.

Many of the pieces included in the exhibition have been created specifically for Point of Contact publications and exhibitions and provide a unique perspective on the evolution of the organization. Including artists such as Judy Pfaff, Nam June Paik, Liliana Porter, and Gregory Crewdson, the collection tends to blur visual and verbal, geographic and cross-cultural boundaries, evolving year-after-year, advancing an essential discussion about contemporary art. By revisiting its past, Point of Contact looks toward its future, refining its vision and turning each new encounter into an experimentation with unlimited insights.

Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989)
Light Work Gallery

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

Light Work, in partnership with Autograph ABP, is pleased to present Rotimi Fani-Kayode (1955-1989), a solo retrospective of the work of this seminal and highly influential figure in 1980s Black British and African contemporary art. Although his career was cut short by his untimely death at the age of 34, Fani-Kayode nonetheless remains an important influence in contemporary photography.

Curated in collaboration with Mark Sealy and Rene´e Mussai of Autograph ABP, whose co-founder and first chair was Fani-Kayode, the exhibition features a selection of his most important photographic works produced between 1985-1989, including large-scale color works and arresting black and white images. Fani-Kayode's photographic portraits explore complex personal and politically engaged notions of desire, spirituality and cultural dislocation. They depict the black male body as a focal point both to interpret and probe the boundaries of spiritual and erotic fantasy, and of cultural and sexual difference. Ancestral rituals and a provocative, multi-layered symbolism fuse with archetypal motifs from European and African cultures and subcultures, inspired by what Yoruba priests call "the technique of ecstasy." Hence Fani-Kayode uses the medium of photography not only to question issues of sexuality and homoerotic desire, but also to address themes of diaspora and belonging, and the tensions between his homosexuality and his Yoruba upbringing. This exhibition coincides with the introduction of new punitive legislation in Nigeria, Fani-Kayode's country of birth, as well as other countries in Africa in recent years outlawing same-sex marriages and membership in gay rights organizations.

Leviathan
Urban Video Project

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

"Leviathan" (2012) is a groundbreaking, immersive portrait of the contemporary commercial fishing industry. Filmed off the coast of New Bedford, MA, "Leviathan" follows a hulking groundfish trawler into the surrounding murky black waters on a weeks-long fishing expedition. But instead of romanticizing the labor, filmmakers Lucien Castaing-Taylor ("Sweetgrass") and Véréna Paravel ("Foreign Parts") of Sensory Ethnography Lab present a vivid, almost kaleidoscopic representation of the work, the sea, the machinery and the players, both human and marine. The film that emerges is unlike anything that has been seen before. Entirely dialogue-free, but mesmerizing and gripping throughout, it is a cosmic portrait of one of mankind's oldest endeavors.

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 6:30 pm.

Based on the 1980 hit movie. Set in the late 1970s, this hilarious story of friendship and revenge in the Rolodex era is outrageous, thought-provoking, and even a little romantic.

Pushed to the boiling point, three female co-workers concoct a plan to get even with the sexist, egotistical, lying, hypocritical bigot they call their boss. In a hilarious turn of events, Violet, Judy and Doralee live out their wildest fantasy--giving their boss the boot! While Hart remains "otherwise engaged," the women give their workplace a dream makeover, taking control of the company that had always kept them down. Hey, a girl can scheme, can't she?

Music and lyrics by Dolly Parton, book by Patricia Resnick, based on the 20th Century Fox picture. Music direction by Abel Searor.

Patterns in History: Vintage Quilts of Onondaga County
Onondaga Historical Association

Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

Approximately 20 crazy, patchwork, signature, applique, log cabin, and children's quilts, as well as individual quilt squares from the 1850s to the early 20th century, will adorn OHA's second floor gallery this summer and fall. Decorated with beautiful fabrics, patterns, and embroidered characters, OHA's collection represents the array of vintage quilts once used throughout Onondaga County. While some quilts were primarily utilitarian, made to keep their users warm, others were elaborate show pieces that highlighted the artistic skill of the maker. The collection also contains several quilts created to commemorate local people and/or events. A selection of intricate, colorful and even amusing quilts of excellent quality will be on display for all to see!

During the quilt exhibit, OHA will raffle off a new quilt made by local quilter and businesswoman Joan Ford. The lap-sized quilt, named "Diamond Jubilee," is nearly all hand-pieced with floral fabrics cut into hexagons and triangles. The hand-quilting and hand embroidered details add to the vintage look of this special quilt.

Syracuse University Art Museum

Price: Free
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building

The SU Art Galleries is pleased to announce the exhibition "James Rosenquist: Illustrious Works on Paper, Illuminating Paintings." Developed in collaboration with the Oklahoma State Museum of Art and curated by Sarah C.

Playing With Perception: Photographs by Florence Henri
Everson Museum of Art

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

Drawn from the Everson's collection, this exhibition presents a selection of photographs by Florence Henri, an accomplished artist of the early 20th century who remains relatively unknown today. Henri studied painting with some of the major avant-garde artists of the 20th century, including Fernand Leger and Lazlo Moholy-Nagy, before turning to photography. Intrigued by notions of playing with perception in life as well as art, the androgynous Henri frequently utilized mirrors in her works to create reflections, distort images, and challenge reality. Her abstract compositions, portraits, and advertising images exploited the possibilities of photography and share affinities with the works of contemporaries like Herbert Bayer, Adolph Baron de Meyer, and Man Ray.
