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.

Obscurus
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Obscurus features the work of four painters from Syracuse University's master of fine arts degree program in studio arts: Tong Zhang, Teona Yamanidze, Sunyoung Lee, and Joe Turek. This international group of artists from China, Georgia, South Korea and the U.S. respectively deal in the subject matter of the obscure, that which is uncertain, not easily understood, or overshadowed. With this traditional medium as the show's only other constant, the artists create their own pictured reality in a contemporary painterly language. Cultural and ideological diversity in the group fosters a unique conversation on painting's capacity to engage with the dichotomy between knowable and unknowable. The contents of their work breach the contemplative object's place in a viewer's imagination by being identifiable as it is veiled by paint.

*CLOSED TODAY* In God's House: The Photographs of Robert Knight
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

ArtRage Gallery is joining with the 100s of artists, art critics, and arts organizations that are taking part in the J20 Art Strike by closing on on Inauguration Day. ArtRage was founded with a mission to support progressive art that inspires resistance and resist we must! We stand in solidarity with artists nationwide who are saying that on January 20 business should not proceed as usual.

"In God's House" examines religious diversity as a reflection of the contemporary immigration crisis
and demographic shifts facing Europe. Knight's photographs of religious services juxtapose historic Christian churches with contemporary mosques in cities across Europe, revealing both similarities and differences between faiths. The resulting images allow us to consider not only our contemporary relationship to religion but also our relationship to those different than ourselves.

She has a warm and mellifluous voice and crafts lovely, sun-washed songs that she performs with gentle intensity. There's a rare stillness in Shelley's tunes. Her lyrics don't tell stories; they contemplate places and situations, landscapes that can be geographical, psychological and sometimes both.

Brighton, England. 1963. Change is in the air, and Francis Henshall is looking to make his mark. Fired from a skiffle band and in search of work, he finds himself employed by small-time gangster Roscoe Crabbe, in town to collect a fee from his fiancee's gangster father. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother, herself in love with Stanley Stubbers (her brother's killer) who, in turn, becomes our hero's other "guvnor." Fighting a mounting sense of confusion, Francis goes out of his way to serve both bosses. But with the distractions of a pneumatic book keeper, a self-important actor and select members of the criminal fraternity (not to mention his own mammoth appetite) to contend with, how long can he keep them apart? Richard Bean's hilarious comedy received 5-star reviews from every London newspaper and was the hit of the 2012 Broadway season.

This international group of artists from China, Georgia, South Korea and the U.S. respectively deal in the subject matter of the obscure, that which is uncertain, not easily understood, or overshadowed. With this traditional medium as the show's only other constant, the artists create their own pictured reality in a contemporary painterly language. Cultural and ideological diversity in the group fosters a unique conversation on painting's capacity to engage with the dichotomy between knowable and unknowable. The contents of their work breach the contemplative object's place in a viewer's imagination by being identifiable as it is veiled by paint.

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.

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.

Obscurus features the work of four painters from Syracuse University's master of fine arts degree program in studio arts: Tong Zhang, Teona Yamanidze, Sunyoung Lee, and Joe Turek. This international group of artists from China, Georgia, South Korea and the U.S. respectively deal in the subject matter of the obscure, that which is uncertain, not easily understood, or overshadowed. With this traditional medium as the show's only other constant, the artists create their own pictured reality in a contemporary painterly language. Cultural and ideological diversity in the group fosters a unique conversation on painting's capacity to engage with the dichotomy between knowable and unknowable. The contents of their work breach the contemplative object's place in a viewer's imagination by being identifiable as it is veiled by paint.

Amir Kapour is a deeply assimilated Pakistani-American with the perfect job, the perfect apartment, and the perfect wife—until it all unravels over the course of a single dinner party (an unforgettably explosive scene). Winner of the Pulitzer Prize (2013) and the Tony Award for Best Play (2015), Disgraced is a timely and taut (90 minutes) drama that engages mind and heart with refreshing and stunning candor as it explores the cultural and personal fracturing Amir encounters as he pursues his ideal of the American Dream. A new and daring voice in American theatre, playwright Ayad Akhtar creates urgent dramatic connections between the stage and the world outside our doors.

Obscurus features the work of four painters from Syracuse University's master of fine arts degree program in studio arts: Tong Zhang, Teona Yamanidze, Sunyoung Lee, and Joe Turek. This international group of artists from China, Georgia, South Korea and the U.S. respectively deal in the subject matter of the obscure, that which is uncertain, not easily understood, or overshadowed. With this traditional medium as the show's only other constant, the artists create their own pictured reality in a contemporary painterly language. Cultural and ideological diversity in the group fosters a unique conversation on painting's capacity to engage with the dichotomy between knowable and unknowable. The contents of their work breach the contemplative object's place in a viewer's imagination by being identifiable as it is veiled by paint.

Growing up listening to music from the Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, and Usher, Josh knew he wanted to become a singer/artist himself, and he would do anything to make that dream a reality.

Brighton, England. 1963. Change is in the air, and Francis Henshall is looking to make his mark. Fired from a skiffle band and in search of work, he finds himself employed by small-time gangster Roscoe Crabbe, in town to collect a fee from his fiancee's gangster father. But Roscoe is really Rachel, posing as her own dead brother, herself in love with Stanley Stubbers (her brother's killer) who, in turn, becomes our hero's other "guvnor." Fighting a mounting sense of confusion, Francis goes out of his way to serve both bosses. But with the distractions of a pneumatic book keeper, a self-important actor and select members of the criminal fraternity (not to mention his own mammoth appetite) to contend with, how long can he keep them apart? Richard Bean's hilarious comedy received 5-star reviews from every London newspaper and was the hit of the 2012 Broadway season.

I Too Am America: A Song of Race and Language

Community Folk Art Center

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.

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.

Disgraced
Syracuse Stage

Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Amir Kapour is a deeply assimilated Pakistani-American with the perfect job, the perfect apartment, and the perfect wife—until it all unravels over the course of a single dinner party (an unforgettably explosive scene). Winner of the Pulitzer Prize (2013) and the Tony Award for Best Play (2015), Disgraced is a timely and taut (90 minutes) drama that engages mind and heart with refreshing and stunning candor as it explores the cultural and personal fracturing Amir encounters as he pursues his ideal of the American Dream. A new and daring voice in American theatre, playwright Ayad Akhtar creates urgent dramatic connections between the stage and the world outside our doors.
