Poetry of Content: Five Contemporary Representational Artists
Syracuse University Art Museum

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

In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding. With few exceptions, imagery that incorporates a realistic visual space, modeled figures and natural surroundings is largely absent from the lexicon of art making. Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

The Way I See It
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

"The Way I See It" is a selection of photographs made by Syracuse City School students in response to the street photography of Helen Levitt and others. Working in collaboration with Syracuse University's Photography and Literacy Project (PAL Project), students from Edward Smith School, South West Community Center, and Institute of Technology at Central were given cameras and asked to document their world. Classes met weekly with Syracuse University student mentors, and students viewed and discussed the work of Levitt and contemporary photographers, edited their photographs and discussed the elements of picture making. Above all, the students learned that the camera can be a tool to tell a story and give a voice — a voice that deserves to be heard.

Responsive Eyes
Everson Museum of Art

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

In 1965, the Museum of Modern Art opened The Responsive Eye, a landmark exhibition which featured works by 100 modern artists who used abstract forms to examine how different shapes, patterns and colors could affect the eye of a viewer. Often called "Op Art" due to their relationships to the study of optics and optical illusions, these works appear to move, shimmer or vibrate despite the fact that they are stationary. This exhibition revisits the work of four of the artists included in the seminal survey: Josef Albers, Richard Anuszkiewicz, Frank Stella and Victor Vasarely, as well as their Latin contemporary Jesús Rafael Soto.

Helen Levitt: In the Street
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

For more than 70 years, Helen Levitt used her camera to capture fresh and unstudied views of everyday life in the streets of New York City. Levitt's photographs, in both black and white and color, document neighborhood matriarchs on their front stoops, pedestrians negotiating New York's busy sidewalks, and boisterous children at play. In her work, Levitt successfully captures people of every age, race, and class, without attempting to impose social commentary.

Punk Rock
Syracuse University Drama Department
Robert Moss, director

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

Propelled by an anxious momentum, Punk Rock is an honest and unnerving chronicle of contemporary adolescence at the breaking point. In a private school outside of Manchester, England, a group of highly articulate 17-year-olds flirt and posture their way through the day while preparing for their A-Level mock exams. With hormones raging and minimal adult supervision, nothing can forestall the underlying tension that becomes increasingly pronounced as the play moves from comic beginnings to a serious and troubling conclusion. Playwright Simon Stephens' (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) ear for teen conversations, shifting alliances, and fundamental fears is spot-on. Gripping, insightful, and excitingly theatrical.

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.

Pin the Tail: Works by Catalina Schliebener
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Pin the Tail is a site-specific installation based on four photographs found by the artist, Catalina Schliebener, at a garage sale in New York City in 2014. The photographs, which depict children playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, became the catalyst for this exhibition with the addition of other found objects that relate symbolically or in form. The concept of Pin the Tail started to arise through the discovery of these objects and the potential formal and semantic relationships among them.

Just as in children's stories and songs, children's games involve a subtle normative character through which children indirectly learn rules of behavior, socialize, and acquire specific roles that will later be reproduced in the adult world. Schliebener is interested in working with icons related to youth that implicitly reveal norms associated with the construction of gender, identity, and class. In Pin the Tail, she analyzes and deconstructs the normative character and functionality of the game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. By doing so, Schliebener calls into question the nature of these objects by practicing new discourses in which they are not dependent upon the system that produced them.

In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding.

Pin the Tail: Works by Catalina Schliebener
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Pin the Tail is a site-specific installation based on four photographs found by the artist, Catalina Schliebener, at a garage sale in New York City in 2014. The photographs, which depict children playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, became the catalyst for this exhibition with the addition of other found objects that relate symbolically or in form. The concept of Pin the Tail started to arise through the discovery of these objects and the potential formal and semantic relationships among them.

Just as in children's stories and songs, children's games involve a subtle normative character through which children indirectly learn rules of behavior, socialize, and acquire specific roles that will later be reproduced in the adult world. Schliebener is interested in working with icons related to youth that implicitly reveal norms associated with the construction of gender, identity, and class. In Pin the Tail, she analyzes and deconstructs the normative character and functionality of the game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. By doing so, Schliebener calls into question the nature of these objects by practicing new discourses in which they are not dependent upon the system that produced them.

Berry's collection highlights how ordinary household artifacts have distorted how generations of Americans view people of African descent as somehow less than human. Mainstream media may refer to a post-racial 21st-century America, but stereotypes and distortions of Black people persist nonetheless. This exhibition invites viewers to confront how everyday objects support and perpetuate racism. "I remember at a certain point in time there was an argument that Black people should seek to have this stuff destroyed," says Berry. "My position was that you always want to remember what happens when you allow someone to define who you are."

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.

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.

In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding.

Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

Pin the Tail: Works by Catalina Schliebener
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Pin the Tail is a site-specific installation based on four photographs found by the artist, Catalina Schliebener, at a garage sale in New York City in 2014. The photographs, which depict children playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, became the catalyst for this exhibition with the addition of other found objects that relate symbolically or in form. The concept of Pin the Tail started to arise through the discovery of these objects and the potential formal and semantic relationships among them.

Just as in children's stories and songs, children's games involve a subtle normative character through which children indirectly learn rules of behavior, socialize, and acquire specific roles that will later be reproduced in the adult world. Schliebener is interested in working with icons related to youth that implicitly reveal norms associated with the construction of gender, identity, and class. In Pin the Tail, she analyzes and deconstructs the normative character and functionality of the game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. By doing so, Schliebener calls into question the nature of these objects by practicing new discourses in which they are not dependent upon the system that produced them.

Blackout: Through the Veiled Eyes of Others
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

Racist Memorabilia from the Collection of William Berry, Jr.

Berry's collection highlights how ordinary household artifacts have distorted how generations of Americans view people of African descent as somehow less than human. Mainstream media may refer to a post-racial 21st-century America, but stereotypes and distortions of Black people persist nonetheless. This exhibition invites viewers to confront how everyday objects support and perpetuate racism. "I remember at a certain point in time there was an argument that Black people should seek to have this stuff destroyed," says Berry. "My position was that you always want to remember what happens when you allow someone to define who you are."

Opening and Performance: Between Us/Entre Nos: Installation Art by Alexis Disselkoen
La Casita Cultural Center

La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St., Syracuse

"Between Us/Entre Nos" is a three-part installation and performance by artist Alexis Disselkoen. A flower-covered wall looms over the room as coffee-soaked sheets of paper cover the floor, shifting as bodies move through the space. Guests leave a footprint, and may take home the gift of a friendship bracelet, in matching pairs to be worn both by the artist and the viewer.

Disselkoen has long been fascinated with the research of human DNA migration patterns from all over the world. Using flowers as stand-ins, she examines ancestry and how each of us journeyed to be where where we are. With paper, she creates a ground surface that moves, shifts, recedes from view. This simple act asks: What happens when borders shift and the ground beneath us is politicized to create otherness among those who stand on it? A gift rounds off the experience by the simple act of exchange. What is at stake in everyday trades of commercial and non commercial goods?

All three elements work together in this installation to produce an experience that is directed by the spectator. What is the result when the audience can participate in the creation of a work? Using both the space and viewership generates a setting of artistic and interpersonal exchange where one's single interpretation is not the precedent. It is about all the makers of meaning (the artist and the viewer) coming together to trade their experiences.

Price: $20 regular, $17 members

Accomplished songwriting, lyrical eloquence, virtuosic singing and outrageous, edgy humor

Vance Gilbert occupies a unique niche as a folk musician. His music is an eclectic mix, strongly influenced by jazz and R&B, but with roots in '60s pop. His song stylings bop and weave, deftly weaving catchy melodies and insightful lyrics into a folk framework. His beautifully written songs and melodic artistry have led some to call him a musical visionary.

Gilbert is a gifted guitarist, but his most outstanding instrument is his rousing voice, with its remarkable power and range. He sings to the passions and pains of all of us with a voice that enthralls your soul. But it's his humor and spontaneity that make his live performances so compelling. Gilbert spends a lot of time telling stories and swapping gibes, his comedic skill and showmanship drawing audiences into the moment. His mission is to give people a good time and they return again and again, always expecting to be surprised, never being disappointed.

Poetry of Content: Five Contemporary Representational Artists
Syracuse University Art Museum

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

In the landscape of contemporary practice, representational imagery has seemingly gone into hiding. With few exceptions, imagery that incorporates a realistic visual space, modeled figures and natural surroundings is largely absent from the lexicon of art making. Over his more than 40 years as a painter and professor at Syracuse University, internationally recognized artist and co-curator Jerome Within has championed representation and narrative in his work and his teaching. Poetry of Content is an examination and celebration of the work of five painters who share Witkin's interest in the subject: Bill Murphy, Gillian Pederson-Krag, Joel Sheesley, Robert Birmelin and Tim Lowly. Featuring over 40 pieces of original artwork, this exhibition displays a variety of representational imagery as paintings, drawings, and prints.

Blackout: Through the Veiled Eyes of Others
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

Racist Memorabilia from the Collection of William Berry, Jr.

Berry's collection highlights how ordinary household artifacts have distorted how generations of Americans view people of African descent as somehow less than human. Mainstream media may refer to a post-racial 21st-century America, but stereotypes and distortions of Black people persist nonetheless. This exhibition invites viewers to confront how everyday objects support and perpetuate racism. "I remember at a certain point in time there was an argument that Black people should seek to have this stuff destroyed," says Berry. "My position was that you always want to remember what happens when you allow someone to define who you are."

Pin the Tail: Works by Catalina Schliebener
Point of Contact Gallery

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

Pin the Tail is a site-specific installation based on four photographs found by the artist, Catalina Schliebener, at a garage sale in New York City in 2014. The photographs, which depict children playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey, became the catalyst for this exhibition with the addition of other found objects that relate symbolically or in form. The concept of Pin the Tail started to arise through the discovery of these objects and the potential formal and semantic relationships among them.

Just as in children's stories and songs, children's games involve a subtle normative character through which children indirectly learn rules of behavior, socialize, and acquire specific roles that will later be reproduced in the adult world. Schliebener is interested in working with icons related to youth that implicitly reveal norms associated with the construction of gender, identity, and class. In Pin the Tail, she analyzes and deconstructs the normative character and functionality of the game Pin the Tail on the Donkey. By doing so, Schliebener calls into question the nature of these objects by practicing new discourses in which they are not dependent upon the system that produced them.
