He Maketh a Path to Shine After Him; One Would Think the Deep to be Hoary (2013) Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Filmmakers Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor, of the Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab, drew from footage obtained while shooting their award-winning movie Leviathan (2012) to create this film. The mesmerizing and haunting footage, filmed both in and from the ocean and projected at 1/50 of the speed at which it was recorded, shows the sea to be a vast and watery expanse full of slow-moving, unidentifiable forms.

Gods and Monsters: Three Centuries of Portraiture Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
This exhibition represents an overview of the portraiture genre for over three centuries, examining how artists have portrayed themselves and others within different contexts and in a variety of media and styles. From 19th-century painted miniatures to contemporary color photographs, these portraits drawn from the Everson collection depict a heterogeneous cast of characters both remembered and forgotten, lauded and reviled. Stretching the conventions of the genre, the exhibition includes works by Andy Warhol, William Wegman and others as well as more traditional portrait paintings by artists such as Cecelia Beaux and Gilbert Stuart.

Three Graces Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Three Graces were known in ancient mythology as enchanting goddesses who personified the primary attributes of creativity: Beauty, Wonder and Joy. In a recasting of this mythical triumvirate, the Everson introduces three contemporary artists from New York – Polly Apfelbaum, Tony Feher and Carrie Moyer – whose spectacular abstract works embody these qualities. More than just a typical exhibition, Three Graces is also a revelatory experience, as the artists have created new works inspired by pieces from the Museum's collection, which are also included. From Moyer's biomorphic paintings, to Apfelbaum's playful textiles, and Feher's magical installations, Three Graces connects the past and present through beauty, wonder, and joy.

Resistance: Work by Najee Dorsey Community Folk Art Center
Price: Free Community Folk Art Center
805 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Our exhibition season opens with "Resistance" by artist, collector, and founder/CEO of Black Art in America Najee Dorsey. His mixed media works features a number of the heroes of the civil rights movements as well as 20th century activists. An essay entitled My Art is my Voice, written by Dr. Kamasi C. Hill describes the works stating, "Najee Dorsey's mixed media series "Resistance," is an artistic commentary on the various ways individuals have used their voice and bodies to "resist" and fight against the powers that be. Partially inspired by the Occupy Movement, Dorsey's renditions include the Haitian Freedom Fighter Toussaint L'ouverture, A Native American man taking up modern arms, and an ode to unsung she-ro Claudette Colvin, amongst others."

Hard Earned: The Military Photographs of Stacy Pearsall Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The exhibit presents over 15 years of Pearsall's career documenting military events and persons. Curated by Theresa Moir, a second year Syracuse University graduate student pursuing concurrent degrees in Museum Studies and Art History, this exhibition draws its content from Pearsall's combat photography taken overseas on active duty in the Air Force, as well as her more recent Veterans Portrait Project. Stacy L. Pearsall got her start as an Air Force photographer at the age of 17. During her time in the service, she traveled to over 41 countries, and attended S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Now combat disabled and retired from military service, Pearsall continues to work worldwide as a freelance photographer, and is an author, educator, military consultant, public speaker and founder of the Veterans Portrait Project. Pearsall was one of only two women to win NPPA's Military Photographer of the Year competition, and the only woman to have earned it twice. She's been honored as the Air Force Veteran of the Year by the Air Force Band and PBS, presented the Trojan Labor American Hero Award, honored with the Daughters of the American Revolution Margaret Cochran Corbin Award, lauded by the White House as a Champion of Change, and holds an honorary doctoral degree from The Citadel.

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.

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.

Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage),
Dewitt
Tonight's show will be preceded by dinner at 6:30 pm. A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theater goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II", after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out-of-this-world origins and intent towards global domination! Choreography by Jessie Dobryzinski, music direction by Abel Searor.

Heisler has been said to combine "the eye of an artist, the mind of a scientist, and the heart of a journalist." His photographic career has spanned over 35 years, and among the many awards he has received are the Alfred Eisenstadt Award and the Leica Medal of Excellence. A sought-after speaker and educator, teaching classes and seminars throughout the country and overseas, Heisler was appointed a Distinguished Professor of Photography in the Multimedia Photography & Design program at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University in 2014. His bestselling book, Gregory Heisler: 50 Portraits, will be available for sale in the Gallery Shop.

Hard Earned: The Military Photographs of Stacy Pearsall Syracuse University Art Museum
Price: Free Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The exhibit presents over 15 years of Pearsall's career documenting military events and persons. Curated by Theresa Moir, a second year Syracuse University graduate student pursuing concurrent degrees in Museum Studies and Art History, this exhibition draws its content from Pearsall's combat photography taken overseas on active duty in the Air Force, as well as her more recent Veterans Portrait Project. Stacy L. Pearsall got her start as an Air Force photographer at the age of 17. During her time in the service, she traveled to over 41 countries, and attended S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University. Now combat disabled and retired from military service, Pearsall continues to work worldwide as a freelance photographer, and is an author, educator, military consultant, public speaker and founder of the Veterans Portrait Project. Pearsall was one of only two women to win NPPA's Military Photographer of the Year competition, and the only woman to have earned it twice. She's been honored as the Air Force Veteran of the Year by the Air Force Band and PBS, presented the Trojan Labor American Hero Award, honored with the Daughters of the American Revolution Margaret Cochran Corbin Award, lauded by the White House as a Champion of Change, and holds an honorary doctoral degree from The Citadel.

Three Graces Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Three Graces were known in ancient mythology as enchanting goddesses who personified the primary attributes of creativity: Beauty, Wonder and Joy. In a recasting of this mythical triumvirate, the Everson introduces three contemporary artists from New York – Polly Apfelbaum, Tony Feher and Carrie Moyer – whose spectacular abstract works embody these qualities. More than just a typical exhibition, Three Graces is also a revelatory experience, as the artists have created new works inspired by pieces from the Museum's collection, which are also included. From Moyer's biomorphic paintings, to Apfelbaum's playful textiles, and Feher's magical installations, Three Graces connects the past and present through beauty, wonder, and joy.

A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theater goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II", after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out-of-this-world origins and intent towards global domination! Choreography by Jessie Dobryzinski, music direction by Abel Searor.

A guffaw-inducing comedy from the wild and crazy mind of the incomparable Steve Martin. Dusseldorf, 1910. A very public wardrobe malfunction (a young woman's underpants fall down at a parade—for the King!) becomes the talk of the town in this ribald update of an uproarious German farce. (Yes, there is such a thing.) Chock-full of sexual innuendo, verbal jousting, and non-stop laughter, The Underpants skewers the absurdity of instant fame. Das ist funny!

Be the Change: Works by Zachary Skinner Onondaga Community College
Price: Free Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
Artist Statement: Inter-connection is what I cultivate in my artworks. It has led me to create a political space where a viewer is engaged, but has the freedom to draw her/his own conclusion. Expanding on that premise, I believe in an art that can function in a non-polarized, intimate political way. The evidence isn't found within a heroic gesture on the wall by the artist (me), but rather in the inner strength and creativity of the viewer. So I invite the viewers as participants/collaborators, to draw on handmade chalkboards, incorporated within my visual cacophony of imagery, and objects. The imagery I have been focused on relates to Activist Philosophy, non-violent resistance, mind-maps of Humanitarian Leaders, and recently of what I call "Geo-Robots" which are inspired by Survivalism, and Geo-Engineering. In other words, I am interested in models and catalysts for social change, outside of mainstream media discourse.

Black Utopias Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Co-curated by Dr. Joan Bryant, associate professor in the African American Studies Department, and Dr. Lucy Mulroney, interim senior director of the Special Collections Research Center, "Black Utopias" commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the best-selling narrative of one of the most prominent men of the Civil Rights era. This anniversary holds special significance for Syracuse University because the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is home to the records of Grove Press, the avant-garde publisher of the Autobiography. Grove hailed the book as one of its "most important" publications. The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out before it was released in October 1965. "Black Utopias" takes the personal transformations that form the narrative arc of Malcolm X's Autobiography as the framework for exploring a range of utopian visions that have shaped Black American life. Although utopias are, by definition, the stuff of dreams, the examples presented in this exhibition are firmly rooted in historical experiences of subjugation, inequality, and injustice. They are at once visionary and modest endeavors to craft worlds of freedom, unity, power, equality, and beauty. The exhibit will feature the handwritten letter that Malcolm X sent to Alex Haley during his pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as other unique and rare materials from the collections. It includes documents by little-known individuals and such prominent figures as W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Madam C. J. Walker, James Ford, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Producers Broadway in Syracuse
Crouse Hinds Concert Theater, Mulroy Civic Center
411 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
A scheming producer and his mousy accountant aim to produce the biggest flop on Broadway in Mel Brooks' laugh-out-loud spectacle. Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks' classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly "boffo" hit, winning a record 12 Tony Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night.

Be the Change: Works by Zachary Skinner Onondaga Community College
Price: Free Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
Artist Statement: Inter-connection is what I cultivate in my artworks. It has led me to create a political space where a viewer is engaged, but has the freedom to draw her/his own conclusion. Expanding on that premise, I believe in an art that can function in a non-polarized, intimate political way. The evidence isn't found within a heroic gesture on the wall by the artist (me), but rather in the inner strength and creativity of the viewer. So I invite the viewers as participants/collaborators, to draw on handmade chalkboards, incorporated within my visual cacophony of imagery, and objects. The imagery I have been focused on relates to Activist Philosophy, non-violent resistance, mind-maps of Humanitarian Leaders, and recently of what I call "Geo-Robots" which are inspired by Survivalism, and Geo-Engineering. In other words, I am interested in models and catalysts for social change, outside of mainstream media discourse.

Black Utopias Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Co-curated by Dr. Joan Bryant, associate professor in the African American Studies Department, and Dr. Lucy Mulroney, interim senior director of the Special Collections Research Center, "Black Utopias" commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the best-selling narrative of one of the most prominent men of the Civil Rights era. This anniversary holds special significance for Syracuse University because the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is home to the records of Grove Press, the avant-garde publisher of the Autobiography. Grove hailed the book as one of its "most important" publications. The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out before it was released in October 1965. "Black Utopias" takes the personal transformations that form the narrative arc of Malcolm X's Autobiography as the framework for exploring a range of utopian visions that have shaped Black American life. Although utopias are, by definition, the stuff of dreams, the examples presented in this exhibition are firmly rooted in historical experiences of subjugation, inequality, and injustice. They are at once visionary and modest endeavors to craft worlds of freedom, unity, power, equality, and beauty. The exhibit will feature the handwritten letter that Malcolm X sent to Alex Haley during his pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as other unique and rare materials from the collections. It includes documents by little-known individuals and such prominent figures as W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Madam C. J. Walker, James Ford, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

The Producers Broadway in Syracuse
Crouse Hinds Concert Theater, Mulroy Civic Center
411 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
A scheming producer and his mousy accountant aim to produce the biggest flop on Broadway in Mel Brooks' laugh-out-loud spectacle. Bialystock and Bloom! Those names should strike terror and hysteria in anyone familiar with Mel Brooks' classic cult comedy film. Now as a big Broadway musical, The Producers once again sets the standard for modern, outrageous, in-your-face humor. It is a truly "boffo" hit, winning a record 12 Tony Awards and wowing capacity crowds night after night.

The Underpants Syracuse Stage Bill Fennelly, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
A guffaw-inducing comedy from the wild and crazy mind of the incomparable Steve Martin. Dusseldorf, 1910. A very public wardrobe malfunction (a young woman's underpants fall down at a parade—for the King!) becomes the talk of the town in this ribald update of an uproarious German farce. (Yes, there is such a thing.) Chock-full of sexual innuendo, verbal jousting, and non-stop laughter, The Underpants skewers the absurdity of instant fame. Das ist funny!

Be the Change: Works by Zachary Skinner Onondaga Community College
Price: Free Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
Artist Statement: Inter-connection is what I cultivate in my artworks. It has led me to create a political space where a viewer is engaged, but has the freedom to draw her/his own conclusion. Expanding on that premise, I believe in an art that can function in a non-polarized, intimate political way. The evidence isn't found within a heroic gesture on the wall by the artist (me), but rather in the inner strength and creativity of the viewer. So I invite the viewers as participants/collaborators, to draw on handmade chalkboards, incorporated within my visual cacophony of imagery, and objects. The imagery I have been focused on relates to Activist Philosophy, non-violent resistance, mind-maps of Humanitarian Leaders, and recently of what I call "Geo-Robots" which are inspired by Survivalism, and Geo-Engineering. In other words, I am interested in models and catalysts for social change, outside of mainstream media discourse.

Black Utopias Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Co-curated by Dr. Joan Bryant, associate professor in the African American Studies Department, and Dr. Lucy Mulroney, interim senior director of the Special Collections Research Center, "Black Utopias" commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the best-selling narrative of one of the most prominent men of the Civil Rights era. This anniversary holds special significance for Syracuse University because the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is home to the records of Grove Press, the avant-garde publisher of the Autobiography. Grove hailed the book as one of its "most important" publications. The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out before it was released in October 1965. "Black Utopias" takes the personal transformations that form the narrative arc of Malcolm X's Autobiography as the framework for exploring a range of utopian visions that have shaped Black American life. Although utopias are, by definition, the stuff of dreams, the examples presented in this exhibition are firmly rooted in historical experiences of subjugation, inequality, and injustice. They are at once visionary and modest endeavors to craft worlds of freedom, unity, power, equality, and beauty. The exhibit will feature the handwritten letter that Malcolm X sent to Alex Haley during his pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as other unique and rare materials from the collections. It includes documents by little-known individuals and such prominent figures as W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Madam C. J. Walker, James Ford, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

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.

Hard Earned: The Military Photographs of Stacy Pearsall Syracuse University Art Museum

A very public wardrobe malfunction (a young woman's underpants fall down at a parade—for the King!) becomes the talk of the town in this ribald update of an uproarious German farce. (Yes, there is such a thing.) Chock-full of sexual innuendo, verbal jousting, and non-stop laughter, The Underpants skewers the absurdity of instant fame. Das ist funny!

Little Shop of Horrors Central New York Playhouse Dustin M. Czarny, director
Price: $22 CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage),
Dewitt
A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theater goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II", after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out-of-this-world origins and intent towards global domination! Choreography by Jessie Dobryzinski, music direction by Abel Searor.

Be the Change: Works by Zachary Skinner Onondaga Community College
Price: Free Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,
Syracuse
Artist Statement: Inter-connection is what I cultivate in my artworks. It has led me to create a political space where a viewer is engaged, but has the freedom to draw her/his own conclusion. Expanding on that premise, I believe in an art that can function in a non-polarized, intimate political way. The evidence isn't found within a heroic gesture on the wall by the artist (me), but rather in the inner strength and creativity of the viewer. So I invite the viewers as participants/collaborators, to draw on handmade chalkboards, incorporated within my visual cacophony of imagery, and objects. The imagery I have been focused on relates to Activist Philosophy, non-violent resistance, mind-maps of Humanitarian Leaders, and recently of what I call "Geo-Robots" which are inspired by Survivalism, and Geo-Engineering. In other words, I am interested in models and catalysts for social change, outside of mainstream media discourse.

Black Utopias Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Co-curated by Dr. Joan Bryant, associate professor in the African American Studies Department, and Dr. Lucy Mulroney, interim senior director of the Special Collections Research Center, "Black Utopias" commemorates the 50th anniversary of the publication of The Autobiography of Malcolm X, the best-selling narrative of one of the most prominent men of the Civil Rights era. This anniversary holds special significance for Syracuse University because the Libraries' Special Collections Research Center is home to the records of Grove Press, the avant-garde publisher of the Autobiography. Grove hailed the book as one of its "most important" publications. The first printing of 10,000 copies sold out before it was released in October 1965. "Black Utopias" takes the personal transformations that form the narrative arc of Malcolm X's Autobiography as the framework for exploring a range of utopian visions that have shaped Black American life. Although utopias are, by definition, the stuff of dreams, the examples presented in this exhibition are firmly rooted in historical experiences of subjugation, inequality, and injustice. They are at once visionary and modest endeavors to craft worlds of freedom, unity, power, equality, and beauty. The exhibit will feature the handwritten letter that Malcolm X sent to Alex Haley during his pilgrimage to Mecca, as well as other unique and rare materials from the collections. It includes documents by little-known individuals and such prominent figures as W.E.B. Dubois, Langston Hughes, Madam C. J. Walker, James Ford, and Martin Luther King, Jr.

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.

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.

More than just a typical exhibition, Three Graces is also a revelatory experience, as the artists have created new works inspired by pieces from the Museum's collection, which are also included. From Moyer's biomorphic paintings, to Apfelbaum's playful textiles, and Feher's magical installations, Three Graces connects the past and present through beauty, wonder, and joy.

The Disco Biscuits, with Ichisan Creative Concerts
F Shed at The Regional Market
2100 Park St.,
Syracuse
With nearly 20 years of history together as a band, The Disco Biscuits are innovators of the "trancefusion" movement in modern rock. That said, they're not the same band they were when they began in 1995 at the University of Pennsylvania. They still remain rock pioneers whose soul belongs as much to marathon dance parties as it does to live improvisational journeys. They still employ emerging technologies to help them create music that is 100 percent human although, perhaps, not entirely of this earth. Ichisan is the moniker of Igor Skafar, a Slovenian DJ and Photographer whose relationship with music began by playing the guitar in various bands, which later developed into a preference for electronic music.

The Underpants Syracuse Stage Bill Fennelly, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
A guffaw-inducing comedy from the wild and crazy mind of the incomparable Steve Martin. Dusseldorf, 1910. A very public wardrobe malfunction (a young woman's underpants fall down at a parade—for the King!) becomes the talk of the town in this ribald update of an uproarious German farce. (Yes, there is such a thing.) Chock-full of sexual innuendo, verbal jousting, and non-stop laughter, The Underpants skewers the absurdity of instant fame. Das ist funny!

Three Graces Everson Museum of Art
Price: $5 suggested donation Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Three Graces were known in ancient mythology as enchanting goddesses who personified the primary attributes of creativity: Beauty, Wonder and Joy. In a recasting of this mythical triumvirate, the Everson introduces three contemporary artists from New York – Polly Apfelbaum, Tony Feher and Carrie Moyer – whose spectacular abstract works embody these qualities. More than just a typical exhibition, Three Graces is also a revelatory experience, as the artists have created new works inspired by pieces from the Museum's collection, which are also included. From Moyer's biomorphic paintings, to Apfelbaum's playful textiles, and Feher's magical installations, Three Graces connects the past and present through beauty, wonder, and joy.

He Maketh a Path to Shine After Him; One Would Think the Deep to be Hoary (2013) Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Filmmakers Véréna Paravel and Lucien Castaing-Taylor, of the Harvard Sensory Ethnography Lab, drew from footage obtained while shooting their award-winning movie Leviathan (2012) to create this film. The mesmerizing and haunting footage, filmed both in and from the ocean and projected at 1/50 of the speed at which it was recorded, shows the sea to be a vast and watery expanse full of slow-moving, unidentifiable forms.

Hard Earned: The Military Photographs of Stacy Pearsall Syracuse University Art Museum

Syracuse University,
Syracuse
The exhibit presents over 15 years of Pearsall's career documenting military events and persons. Curated by Theresa Moir, a second year Syracuse University graduate student pursuing concurrent degrees in Museum Studies and Art History, this exhibition draws its content from Pearsall's combat photography taken overseas on active duty in the Air Force, as well as her more recent Veterans Portrait Project.

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.

A deviously delicious Broadway and Hollywood sci-fi smash musical, Little Shop of Horrors has devoured the hearts of theater goers for over 30 years. Howard Ashman and Alan Menken (Disney's The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, and Aladdin) are the creative geniuses behind what has become one of the most popular shows in the world. The meek floral assistant Seymour Krelborn stumbles across a new breed of plant he names "Audrey II", after his coworker crush. This foul-mouthed, R&B-singing carnivore promises unending fame and fortune to the down and out Krelborn as long as he keeps feeding it BLOOD. Over time, though, Seymour discovers Audrey II's out-of-this-world origins and intent towards global domination! Choreography by Jessie Dobryzinski, music direction by Abel Searor.
