I Too Am America: A Song of Race and Language
Community Folk Art Center

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

In Ralph Ellison's speech "What Children are Like," he discusses subcultures in African American communities and how they are reflected through language. In conjunction with the powerful words of Langston Hughes, we are inspired to explore the extent of freedom of speech and the American dream. We are reminding the community of the dangers exacerbated by language in the past and the hope that language can inspire for the future.

This show will allow for direct communication through interactive sculpture; to catch a glimpse into other's experiences with candid photography and subject statements; and it will invite the viewer to observe social benchmarks of our past with poignant collages and prints.

Featuring works from Jamaal Barber, Ann "Sole Sister" Johnson, Kleaver Crus/Black Joy Project.

Kristine Potter: The Gray Line
Light Work Gallery

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

"The Gray Line" is a series of portraits that artist Kristine Potter made at West Point Military Academy, which has trained a large number of high-ranking Army officers and eventual U.S. politicians. Raised in a military family, Potter notes that "a very particular kind of patriarchy and folklore associated with military heroism" pervaded her childhood years. In this series of photographs, made between 2005 and 2010 at the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Potter attempts to disrupt the binary language that conflict seems to publicly heighten. "I'm not interested in voicing opinions of whether war is right or wrong. It exists. My voice has always focused on the human drama. These are people and they get used in the political sphere. But in the end, they're not symbols, they're humans with complex feelings and lives, and I find that compelling."

Born in Dallas, Texas, Kristine earned both a BFA in Photography and a BA in Art History at the University of Georgia in 2000. From 2000 to 2003, Potter lived and worked as a professional printer in Paris, France. In 2005 she earned her MFA in Photography from Yale University. Potter has exhibited work in Paris, New York City, Miami, Atlanta and Raleigh, NC. Daniel Cooney Fine Art in New York City represents her, with a book, Manifest, forthcoming.

Kristine Potter: The Gray Line
Light Work Gallery

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

"The Gray Line" is a series of portraits that artist Kristine Potter made at West Point Military Academy, which has trained a large number of high-ranking Army officers and eventual U.S. politicians. Raised in a military family, Potter notes that "a very particular kind of patriarchy and folklore associated with military heroism" pervaded her childhood years. In this series of photographs, made between 2005 and 2010 at the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Potter attempts to disrupt the binary language that conflict seems to publicly heighten. "I'm not interested in voicing opinions of whether war is right or wrong. It exists. My voice has always focused on the human drama. These are people and they get used in the political sphere. But in the end, they're not symbols, they're humans with complex feelings and lives, and I find that compelling."

Born in Dallas, Texas, Kristine earned both a BFA in Photography and a BA in Art History at the University of Georgia in 2000. From 2000 to 2003, Potter lived and worked as a professional printer in Paris, France. In 2005 she earned her MFA in Photography from Yale University. Potter has exhibited work in Paris, New York City, Miami, Atlanta and Raleigh, NC. Daniel Cooney Fine Art in New York City represents her, with a book, Manifest, forthcoming.

There will be an Artist Talk and Gallery Tour at 5:00 pm, followed by a reception 6:00-8:00 pm.

"Corpus" is a multi-media installation by artist Juan Juarez, incorporating photography and video divided into two sections. One explores progressive decay in the aging body/mind using a neglected domicile as symbolic metaphor. The other documents an impossible attempt to capture nothingness by mapping its ambiguous state though demarcation and indexing. According to Juarez, the exhibition "explores the meaning of space/place and the human desire to leave tangible remains after death, providing context to a larger physical existence." Juarez is currently an associate professor at Syracuse University's School of Art and a practicing artist. He has exhibited in institutions and museums both nationally and abroad.

"The Gray Line" is a series of portraits that artist Kristine Potter made at West Point Military Academy, which has trained a large number of high-ranking Army officers and eventual U.S. politicians. Raised in a military family, Potter notes that "a very particular kind of patriarchy and folklore associated with military heroism" pervaded her childhood years. In this series of photographs, made between 2005 and 2010 at the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Potter attempts to disrupt the binary language that conflict seems to publicly heighten. "I'm not interested in voicing opinions of whether war is right or wrong. It exists. My voice has always focused on the human drama. These are people and they get used in the political sphere. But in the end, they're not symbols, they're humans with complex feelings and lives, and I find that compelling."

Born in Dallas, Texas, Kristine earned both a BFA in Photography and a BA in Art History at the University of Georgia in 2000. From 2000 to 2003, Potter lived and worked as a professional printer in Paris, France. In 2005 she earned her MFA in Photography from Yale University.

Does the night never end in Hiroshima?

Hailed as a landmark of modernist cinema, Hiroshima mon amour startled the film world with a new kind of cinematic language that blurred memory and time in a way accomplished earlier only in literature. Set in the city of its title, the film tells of the brief love affair of a French actress and a Japanese architect, both haunted by what happened in Hiroshima during and after World War II. Released in 1959, it remains a work of striking originality, defined by unforgettable visual imagery, poetic voice-over and revelatory editing.

The New Works Festival will feature readings of three original plays written by Redhouse teaching fellows Melanie Harrison, Colin Hirsch-Wilson, and CJ Miller.

In a yet-to-be-titled piece by Melanie Harrison, a young man, J, wakes up in a hospital room after attempting suicide. Conversations with a bubble nurse intersect with memories of his aunt B. A fantastical dreamscape filled with B's elaborate storytelling forces J to reconcile his past with his future.

Our Split Party, by Colin Hirsch-Wilson, chronicles the vlogging adventures of two BRO-tastic Bernie Sanders fans as they experience the 2016 election. As they try to make videos supporting the democratic party, they face frustration, compromise, and The Donald.

Late Shift, by CJ Miller, centers on a late-night run-in at a convenience store between the clerk and a customer who confesses to being a pedophile. Is the customer being honest or just making a highly inappropriate joke? The two debate the relationship between truth and the power of presentation.

Redhouse's New Works Festival is part of a professional development program for Redhouse employees called The Sandbox. The Sandbox creates opportunities for Redhouse staff to develop as theatre artists and collaborators by facilitating workshops, festivals, and opportunities for mentorship.

With contemporary characters, ingenious plot twists, and breathtaking visual effects, the play is a fresh look at a timeless love story.

Kristine Potter: The Gray Line
Light Work Gallery

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

"The Gray Line" is a series of portraits that artist Kristine Potter made at West Point Military Academy, which has trained a large number of high-ranking Army officers and eventual U.S. politicians. Raised in a military family, Potter notes that "a very particular kind of patriarchy and folklore associated with military heroism" pervaded her childhood years. In this series of photographs, made between 2005 and 2010 at the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Potter attempts to disrupt the binary language that conflict seems to publicly heighten. "I'm not interested in voicing opinions of whether war is right or wrong. It exists. My voice has always focused on the human drama. These are people and they get used in the political sphere. But in the end, they're not symbols, they're humans with complex feelings and lives, and I find that compelling."

Born in Dallas, Texas, Kristine earned both a BFA in Photography and a BA in Art History at the University of Georgia in 2000. From 2000 to 2003, Potter lived and worked as a professional printer in Paris, France. In 2005 she earned her MFA in Photography from Yale University. Potter has exhibited work in Paris, New York City, Miami, Atlanta and Raleigh, NC. Daniel Cooney Fine Art in New York City represents her, with a book, Manifest, forthcoming.

I Too Am America: A Song of Race and Language
Community Folk Art Center

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

In Ralph Ellison's speech "What Children are Like," he discusses subcultures in African American communities and how they are reflected through language. In conjunction with the powerful words of Langston Hughes, we are inspired to explore the extent of freedom of speech and the American dream. We are reminding the community of the dangers exacerbated by language in the past and the hope that language can inspire for the future.

This show will allow for direct communication through interactive sculpture; to catch a glimpse into other's experiences with candid photography and subject statements; and it will invite the viewer to observe social benchmarks of our past with poignant collages and prints.

"Corpus" is a multi-media installation by artist Juan Juarez, incorporating photography and video divided into two sections. One explores progressive decay in the aging body/mind using a neglected domicile as symbolic metaphor. The other documents an impossible attempt to capture nothingness by mapping its ambiguous state though demarcation and indexing. According to Juarez, the exhibition "explores the meaning of space/place and the human desire to leave tangible remains after death, providing context to a larger physical existence." Juarez is currently an associate professor at Syracuse University's School of Art and a practicing artist. He has exhibited in institutions and museums both nationally and abroad.

In Ralph Ellison's speech "What Children are Like," he discusses subcultures in African American communities and how they are reflected through language. In conjunction with the powerful words of Langston Hughes, we are inspired to explore the extent of freedom of speech and the American dream. We are reminding the community of the dangers exacerbated by language in the past and the hope that language can inspire for the future.

This show will allow for direct communication through interactive sculpture; to catch a glimpse into other's experiences with candid photography and subject statements; and it will invite the viewer to observe social benchmarks of our past with poignant collages and prints.

Featuring works from Jamaal Barber, Ann "Sole Sister" Johnson, Kleaver Crus/Black Joy Project.

Kristine Potter: The Gray Line
Light Work Gallery

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

"The Gray Line" is a series of portraits that artist Kristine Potter made at West Point Military Academy, which has trained a large number of high-ranking Army officers and eventual U.S. politicians. Raised in a military family, Potter notes that "a very particular kind of patriarchy and folklore associated with military heroism" pervaded her childhood years. In this series of photographs, made between 2005 and 2010 at the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, Potter attempts to disrupt the binary language that conflict seems to publicly heighten. "I'm not interested in voicing opinions of whether war is right or wrong. It exists. My voice has always focused on the human drama. These are people and they get used in the political sphere. But in the end, they're not symbols, they're humans with complex feelings and lives, and I find that compelling."

Born in Dallas, Texas, Kristine earned both a BFA in Photography and a BA in Art History at the University of Georgia in 2000. From 2000 to 2003, Potter lived and worked as a professional printer in Paris, France. In 2005 she earned her MFA in Photography from Yale University. Potter has exhibited work in Paris, New York City, Miami, Atlanta and Raleigh, NC. Daniel Cooney Fine Art in New York City represents her, with a book, Manifest, forthcoming.

Salt City Abstraction features modern and contemporary abstract artists from the Everson's collection that have lived and worked in Central New York, including Juan Cruz, Robert De Niro Sr., Darryl Hughto, Margie Hughto, James Ridlon, Susan Roth, and many others.

Inspired by the museum's concurrent retrospective of Syracuse-born Bradley Walker Tomlin, Salt City Abstraction features the work of modern and contemporary artists that have lived or worked in Central New York. Whether born in the Salt City itself, attending or teaching at a local university or college, or simply choosing to settle in the area, each of the included artists has embraced variations of abstraction while working in their own particular styles and mediums. These 2- and 3-dimensional works drawn from the Everson's collection affirm the museum's longstanding commitment to celebrating regional talent alongside that of national artists, a tradition which extends to the museum's founding more than a century ago. This focused look at abstraction highlights the significant impact that Central New York artists have made to the history of art both local and beyond.

Corpus: Works by Juan Juarez
Point of Contact Gallery

Price: Free
Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

"Corpus" is a multi-media installation by artist Juan Juarez, incorporating photography and video divided into two sections. One explores progressive decay in the aging body/mind using a neglected domicile as symbolic metaphor. The other documents an impossible attempt to capture nothingness by mapping its ambiguous state though demarcation and indexing. According to Juarez, the exhibition "explores the meaning of space/place and the human desire to leave tangible remains after death, providing context to a larger physical existence." Juarez is currently an associate professor at Syracuse University's School of Art and a practicing artist. He has exhibited in institutions and museums both nationally and abroad.

This exhibition is part of the 2017 Syracuse Symposium on "Place."
