Ben Altman: Site/Sight
Light Work Gallery

Price: Free
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman.

Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide. At these places, emblematic of the violent histories that have formed our contemporary world, it is almost automatic for visitors to raise their smart phones and cameras. Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories.

Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

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.

In her work, Levitt successfully captures people of every age, race, and class, without attempting to impose social commentary.

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.

Light Work Gallery

Price: Free
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman.

Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide.

Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories.

Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

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.

"What If...?" Film Series: The Human Scale: Bringing Cities to Life (2012)
Gifford Foundation

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

Fifty percent of the world's population lives in urban areas. By 2050, this will increase to 80%. Today we face peak oil, climate change, loneliness, and severe health issues due to our way of life. But why? The Danish architect and professor Jan Gehl has studied human behavior in cities through 40 years. He has documented how modern cities repel human interaction and argues that we can build cities in a way which takes human needs for inclusion and intimacy into account. His ideas have inspired the creation of walking streets, the building and improvements of bike paths and the reorganization of parks, squares and other public spaces.

Moderated discussion will follow.

Ben Altman: Site/Sight
Light Work Gallery

Price: Free
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman.

Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide. At these places, emblematic of the violent histories that have formed our contemporary world, it is almost automatic for visitors to raise their smart phones and cameras. Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories.

Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

*SOLD OUT* Pterodactyls
Black Box Players
Adam Coy, director

Price: Free, but registration required
Loft Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Pterodactyls is a show that examines the demise and decay of the human species through the Duncan family. In the 21st century where interpersonal communication is dying out due to technology, use of social media and general focus on self-interest, it is important to tell a story that breaks through our forms of denial. If we are not connected to the people we should be closest to, our families, then humanity has truly lost something that cannot be retrieved.

Helen Levitt: In the Street
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art

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. This exhibition, organized by the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia, features a range of photographs spanning Levitt's long career, and includes scenes shot in New York City, New Hampshire, and Mexico.

Responsive Eyes
Everson Museum of Art

Price: $5 suggested donation
Everson Museum of Art

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.

Psychological realities of memory and perception are explored by installations from Brent Erickson, Jacob Riddle and Shou Yu Chen, and are balanced by the reflection and exploration of personal realities of painter Stefan Zoller and photographer Nydia Blas.

The Blue of Ruins: Works of Arnaldo Roche Rabell
Point of Contact Gallery

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

The Blue of Ruins features Roche's "blue" paintings and drawings made between 2007 and 2016 that use techniques such as brush drawing, scraping and rubbing on the material's surface to explore what is left of the subject. Many of the works included are still-lifes and the self-portraits, allowing Roche to comment on both the wholesomeness of the artist as subject and his relationship with memory and the world of objects. The exhibition aims to trace the artist's conceptual evolvement from full color to blue, and from an affirmative to an exploded subject.

Arnaldo Roche-Rabell (Puerto Rico, 1955) received his Bachelor's and Master's in Fine Arts from The Art Institute in Chicago. Roche-Rabell's work has been exhibited individually and collectively in museums and galleries like the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (The Puerto Rico Museum of Art), the Chicago Cultural Center, and El Museo del Barrio in New York City. His work is in the collections of many prominent museums, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Art Institute in Chicago, and the Bronx Museum.

Ben Altman: Site/Sight
Light Work Gallery

Price: Free
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

A solo exhibition of work by Ben Altman.

Since 2013, Altman has visited many sites, memorials, and museums related to atrocity and genocide. At these places, emblematic of the violent histories that have formed our contemporary world, it is almost automatic for visitors to raise their smart phones and cameras. Through his own photographs Altman explores this contemporary action and its implications. He groups his photographs to suggest connections between the locations. Site/Sight is one of several of Altman's projects about intractable modern histories.

Ben Altman trained as an artist by studying physics, towing icebergs, racing sailboats, and working as a commercial photographer. After moving to the United States from his native England in the early 1980s he spent 25 years in Chicago, and he now lives near Ithaca. Altman has exhibited work recently in New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, Asheville, NC, Fort Wayne, IN, and Syracuse. He was awarded the Houston Center for Photography's 2015 Fellowship, included in the 2015 Critical Mass Top 50, and runner-up in Soho Photo Gallery's 2014 National Photography Competition. His project The More That Is Taken Away is fiscally sponsored by Artspire, a program of the New York Foundation for the Arts, and received a Film Finishing Funds grant from the NY State Council on the Arts. In 2014 his Talk Tompkins was awarded an Artist in Community grant from NYSCA. Altman was a resident with 2×2 Collective in 2012 at Sculpture Space, Utica, NY. In addition to photography, Altman works with video, sound, installation, assemblage, and participation. He is represented by Kopeikin Gallery in Los Angeles.

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

The annual Master of Fine Arts exhibition features 28 artists from the College of Visual and Performing Arts at Syracuse University. This year's presenting artists are working in a variety of traditional and multi-disciplinary media including new installations of photography, printmaking, painting, sculpture, ceramics and site-specific experiences.

The themes and concepts presented by the artists in this exhibition vary from illustrative mythology to functional pottery. Artists Chongha Peter Lee and Nan Wang utilize Oculus Rift technology to suspend the spectator in a virtual world, while Alessia Cecchet, Jeremy Santiago-Horseman, and Rachel Rosky create physical environs that are entered into and interacted with directly by the viewer. Psychological realities of memory and perception are explored by installations from Brent Erickson, Jacob Riddle and Shou Yu Chen, and are balanced by the reflection and exploration of personal realities of painter Stefan Zoller and photographer Nydia Blas.

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. This exhibition, organized by the Telfair Museums in Savannah, Georgia, features a range of photographs spanning Levitt's long career, and includes scenes shot in New York City, New Hampshire, and Mexico.

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.
