Julie Blackmon: Other Tales from Home Everson Museum of Art
Price: Suggested donation: $5 adults Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Authentic and dysfunctional, Julie Blackmon's photographs of family life strike a resonating chord in both children and adult viewers. Boys and girls run free in the backyard or the living room among scattered toys while preoccupied grown-ups hover on the edges. Inspired by humorous 17th-century Dutch paintings and her own childhood as the eldest of nine, Blackmon digitally reconstructs scenes of family life with humor and an eye for the underlying chaos. The exhibition contains selections from her past series, Domestic Vacations, along with photographs from her latest body of work.
