AbStranded: Fiber and Abstraction in Contemporary Art Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
AbStranded brings together contemporary American artists who use fiber-based materials to investigate the complex lineage of abstraction. A prominent use of the hand looms large — through knitting, weaving, quilting, and more — and suggests an alternative mode of communication within a digital society. Together, the works reveal how artists employ the language of abstraction to speak about the intertwined histories and politics of craft, race, and gender.

Art and Architecture as Evidence Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Presented in collaboration with Syracuse University's School of Visual and Performing Arts and the School of Architecture, "Art and Architecture as Evidence" is an exhibition that investigates the possibility of interpreting art and architecture as evidence — a body of facts or information indicating whether a belief or proposition is true or valid. Starting with the work of Lawrence Abu Hamdan of Forensic Architecture, the gallery will be reinstalled throughout the semester as a way to investigate the question central to this exhibition: can art or architecture "prove" that an event occurred?

First, second, and third place entries are awarded for each category, and the competition culminates in a national exhibition featuring selected gold medal winners.
