Featuring Gabrielle Gorman

Price: Free

Melissa Gardiner's MG3 organ trio featuring William Gorman on organ and Byron Cage on drums with special guest Gabrielle Gorman on vocals is putting on a special show of all gospel music, but with a jazz flavor.

An audience of quite vocal and attentive regulars at a local jazz club in Harlem NYC really helped to shape the sound and concept for Melissa Gardiner's MG3 Jazz Organ Trio. The result is an engaging and soulful musical experience that reflects the energy of a heartfelt and artistic community. The group's mantra is jazz.soul.funk, with influences like Roy Hargrove, Robert Glasper, Trombone Shorty, and Wycliffe Gordon.

A singer of great depth, Gabrielle Gorman has a wide range of influences. Although rooted in gospel and jazz, she went on to pursue both an undergrad and graduate degree in musical theatre from University at Buffalo. A Syracuse native, she has been in many local productions and has sang with a variety of different bands, most recently the Skunk City tribute to Michael Jackson. Since moving to New York City, she has been in numerous cabarets and performances.

Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

Finger Lakes Impressions: Pastels and Oil Paintings by Adriana Meiss
Gallery 54

Gallery 54
54 E. Genesee St., Skaneateles

Costa Rican-born Adriana considers herself a self-taught artist. Right after obtaining a BA degree in biology she took art courses at the University of Costa Rica for a year, but left that behind to continue her science studies in the United States. After a very long hiatus, she rediscovered the artist within and found that her experience and the intervening years of observation allowed her to undertake painting in a different way. She finds inspiration in nature and the way man has changed the environment. Her preferred medium is pastel and her favorite subjects are landscapes and flowers. Adriana lives in Syracuse and is a member of the Onondaga Art Guild and the Adirondack Pastel Society. She has won many awards in local and national shows. Her work is in private collections in the U.S. and abroad.

Todd Gray: A Place That Looks Like Home

316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

For his exhibition, "A Place That Looks Like Home," artist Todd Gray re-frames and re-contextualizes images from his personal archive that spans over 40 years of his career as a photographer, sculptor, and performance artist. Gray describes himself as an artist and activist who primarily focuses on issues of race, class, gender, and colonialism.

His unique process of combining and layering a variety of images and fragments of images allows him the opportunity to create his own history and "my own position in the diaspora." Working with photographs of pop culture, documentary photographs of Ghana (where he keeps a studio), portraits of Michael Jackson, gang members from South Los Angeles, and photo documentation from the Hubble telescope, Gray asserts what he refers to as his own polymorphous identity that defies definition. Inspired by the work of cultural theorist Stuart Hall, Gray invites the viewer to participate in an "ever-unfinished conversation about identity and history."

Icons & Eye Poems: A Presentation of the Minimalist and Visual Poetry of Edgar Paiewonsky-Conde
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Edgar Paiewonsky-Conde is returning to the Point of Contact Gallery to present his new body of minimalist and visual poetry. The minimalist "icons" will be read and projected, whereas the purely visual "eye poems" will be projected in silence in a variety of digital registers. The act includes a showing of a number of poem-booklets with transparent pages, which must be physically (not virtually) presented in order to articulate their meaning. Each poem progresses through the transparencies and reveals its sense in a 3-dimensional space.

Over the years Paiewonsky-Conde's writing has evolved into minimalist verbal poetry and is titled "icons/iconos". Simultaneously, the poetry in two languages and the shift towards a radical minimalism has led to a purely visual, supra-linguistic poetry he has named "eye poems." Responding to a new aesthetic order, this project does not fit into the categories of visual art or poetry. Each of the icons tries to capture, in the manner of a formula, an essence of the material world. While the eye poems make use of an archetypal figure, distilled by the poet, they explore and reveal a numeric essence.

Refreshments will be served. Free parking available in the Syracuse University lot on the corner of West St. and Fayette St.
