A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

Onondaga Community College,

Attempts to discover the so-called "Iranian Identity" has always been the major concern of Iranian graphic designers. Since 1970s, they have been trying to bridge the gap between their native culture and tradition and visual aesthetics of the western world. Homa Delvaray, who breathes in a country where culture is intertwined simultaneously with history and modern technology, has successfully created a brilliant visual approach which is rooted in her sharp instincts and intensive passion. She has retained the Iranian visual tradition, disguised in a modern appearance.

Context: Reading the Photography of Margaret Bourke-White Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a celebrity behind, and in front of, the camera. As a photographer for Life magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s, she documented unforgettable moments--African-American flood victims in Louisville, KY, standing in a bread line beneath a banner that reads almost mockingly "There's No Way Like the American Way"; just-liberated survivors of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp returning the camera's gaze under an eerily cinematic light; Mahatma Gandhi sitting cross-legged on the floor reading, spinning wheel in the foreground. Bourke-White's photographs helped shape the way millions of Americans experienced the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the world that followed. In front of the camera she cultivated an image of herself as fearless, undaunted in pursuit of her "shot," and fashionable, donning fine clothes and a coquettish smile. After three decades in the public eye Bourke-White began to write her memoirs in the early 1950s. When Portrait of Myself finally appeared in 1963, she had already published ten books, countless essays, and been the subject of many interviews. In fact, but for the occasional gallery exhibition, text had always surrounded Bourke-White's photographs. This exhibition explores how text "framed" the photography of Margaret Bourke-White and, ultimately, how she sought to transcend the limits of the medium that made her famous.

Alison Rossiter: Revive Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Alison Rossiter makes photographs without using a camera. Captivated by the mechanics and materials of pre-digital photography, she collects decades-expired photographic paper—the oldest dating to 1900—which she develops in her darkroom, coaxing out of each sheet the gorgeous composition of lights and shades it holds within. Though Rossiter has used a camera, and has made photograms of books and light drawings of horses, she focuses on her experiments with expired paper. Her intimate compositions often resemble moody landscapes or Abstract Expressionist paintings. With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Last: Works by Dorene Quinn Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
In her exhibition "Last," Dorene Quinn uses visual forms and diverse materials to create memorials to nature that speak of our relationship to the earth. The dual meaning of the word "last" is the genesis of her current body of work, engaging with humanity in an act of counting down, last one of species, last fateful decades of rising temperatures, last chance to contain the damage. The artificiality and imperfection of the works reflect the futility in acting too late, to repair or preserve. By working in fragile environments, Quinn calls attention to her experience and presence in hopes that these places can remain. Quinn currently teaches sculpture at Syracuse University and founded a non-for-profit educational program for inner city teens to gain access to college art and design programs.

Homa Delvaray, who breathes in a country where culture is intertwined simultaneously with history and modern technology, has successfully created a brilliant visual approach which is rooted in her sharp instincts and intensive passion. She has retained the Iranian visual tradition, disguised in a modern appearance.

Context: Reading the Photography of Margaret Bourke-White Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a celebrity behind, and in front of, the camera. As a photographer for Life magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s, she documented unforgettable moments--African-American flood victims in Louisville, KY, standing in a bread line beneath a banner that reads almost mockingly "There's No Way Like the American Way"; just-liberated survivors of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp returning the camera's gaze under an eerily cinematic light; Mahatma Gandhi sitting cross-legged on the floor reading, spinning wheel in the foreground. Bourke-White's photographs helped shape the way millions of Americans experienced the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the world that followed. In front of the camera she cultivated an image of herself as fearless, undaunted in pursuit of her "shot," and fashionable, donning fine clothes and a coquettish smile. After three decades in the public eye Bourke-White began to write her memoirs in the early 1950s. When Portrait of Myself finally appeared in 1963, she had already published ten books, countless essays, and been the subject of many interviews. In fact, but for the occasional gallery exhibition, text had always surrounded Bourke-White's photographs. This exhibition explores how text "framed" the photography of Margaret Bourke-White and, ultimately, how she sought to transcend the limits of the medium that made her famous.

Alison Rossiter: Revive Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Alison Rossiter makes photographs without using a camera. Captivated by the mechanics and materials of pre-digital photography, she collects decades-expired photographic paper—the oldest dating to 1900—which she develops in her darkroom, coaxing out of each sheet the gorgeous composition of lights and shades it holds within. Though Rossiter has used a camera, and has made photograms of books and light drawings of horses, she focuses on her experiments with expired paper. Her intimate compositions often resemble moody landscapes or Abstract Expressionist paintings. With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

Culture of the Cocktail Hour Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The story of cocktail fashions has several associations with local history. This exhibit will discover some of those people, places and events, including Syracuse's most famous cocktail lounges of days gone by. Cocktails also conjure up the exciting era of the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies flourished during the decade of Prohibition. Displays will include the story of one of the most famous local speakeasies, located just a few hundred feet from the OH Museum, including a menu of its libations, and the tale of the police raid that shut it down. Also on exhibit, along with other documents and artifacts of the era will be an original federal court ledger listing arrests and convictions across the state for Prohibition violations and a local brewery's recipes for "near beer" and flavored sodas, which helped keep them in business through the infamous "dry" years when America famously tried unsuccessfully to eliminate intoxicating beverages from its culture.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Last: Works by Dorene Quinn Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
In her exhibition "Last," Dorene Quinn uses visual forms and diverse materials to create memorials to nature that speak of our relationship to the earth. The dual meaning of the word "last" is the genesis of her current body of work, engaging with humanity in an act of counting down, last one of species, last fateful decades of rising temperatures, last chance to contain the damage. The artificiality and imperfection of the works reflect the futility in acting too late, to repair or preserve. By working in fragile environments, Quinn calls attention to her experience and presence in hopes that these places can remain. Quinn currently teaches sculpture at Syracuse University and founded a non-for-profit educational program for inner city teens to gain access to college art and design programs.

A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

Opening: It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
There will be an opening reception this afternoon 4:30-6:30 pm. As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

There will be an opening reception this evening 6:00-8:00 pm. A contemporary drawing show featuring works by Anne Novado, Donalee Peden Wesley, Elena Peteva, and Melissa Zarem. This exhibition focuses on some of the different approaches artists have in the practice of drawing. At times the immediacy of the mark made by drawing material is enough to convey a response, thought or idea, whereas other times the artist becomes absorbed in the process of layering, adding and subtracting to arrive at the image they were compelled to find. What is so fascinating is even with all the technology around us, the practice of drawing is still very fresh and ongoing.

Opening: Isaac Julien: Western Union: Small Boats (The Leopard) Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Urban Video Project (UVP) is pleased to announce the opening of the 2014-15 programming year with this exhibition by world-renowned visual artist and filmmaker Isaac Julien. Video projection begins at dusk. This exhibition marks the beginning of "Celestial Navigation: a year into the afro future", a year-long program of exhibitions and events at Urban Video Project and partner organizations that takes afrofuturism as its point of departure. "Western Union: Small Boats (The Leopard)" concerns journeys made across the seas of the Mediterranean by so-called "clandestines" who leave Libya, escaping wars and famines. They can be seen as economic migrant workers, along with certain Europeans--"Angels" in Walter Benjamin's terms--who bear witness to modernity's failed hopes and dreams, and who now travel across oceanic spaces some never to arrive or return. Isaac Julien (b. 1960) lives and works in London. He first rose to prominence for his feature-length and short-form films. He received a Special Teddy at the Berlin International Film Festival for his film on Derek Jarman, called "Derek" (2008), created in collaboration with Tilda Swinton. Julien's most recent work has focused on immersive single- and multi-channel video installations. His work was part of Documenta XI (2002), and he has had solo shows at the Pompidou Centre in Paris (2005), MOCA Miami (2005) and most recently at SESC Pompeia in Brazil (2012), among others. Julien is represented in both public and private collections, including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Tate Modern; Centre Pompidou; Guggenheim Collection; and the Hirshhorn Collection. He has taught at Harvard University and Goldsmiths College, University of London, and is currently a faculty member at the Whitney Museum of American Arts, professor of media art at Staatliche Hochschule für Gestaltung Karlsruhe, Germany, and Chair of Global Art at University of the Arts London.

The Guys Central New York Playhouse Pat Catchouny, director
Price: $10 CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage),
Dewitt
Less than two weeks after the September 11 attacks, New Yorkers are still in shock. One of them, an editor named Joan, receives an unexpected phone call on behalf of Nick, a fire captain who has lost most of his men in the attack. He's looking for a writer to help him with the eulogies he must present at their memorial services. Nick and Joan spend a long afternoon together, recalling the fallen men through recounting their virtues and their foibles, and fashioning the stories into memorials of words. In the process, Nick and Joan discover the possibilities of friendship in each other and their shared love for the unconquerable spirit of the city. As they make their way through the emotional landscape of grief, they draw on humor, tango, the appreciation of craft in all its forms—and the enduring bonds of common humanity. The Guys is based on a true story.

A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

Price: Free Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College,

Attempts to discover the so-called "Iranian Identity" has always been the major concern of Iranian graphic designers. Since 1970s, they have been trying to bridge the gap between their native culture and tradition and visual aesthetics of the western world. Homa Delvaray, who breathes in a country where culture is intertwined simultaneously with history and modern technology, has successfully created a brilliant visual approach which is rooted in her sharp instincts and intensive passion. She has retained the Iranian visual tradition, disguised in a modern appearance.

Context: Reading the Photography of Margaret Bourke-White Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a celebrity behind, and in front of, the camera. As a photographer for Life magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s, she documented unforgettable moments--African-American flood victims in Louisville, KY, standing in a bread line beneath a banner that reads almost mockingly "There's No Way Like the American Way"; just-liberated survivors of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp returning the camera's gaze under an eerily cinematic light; Mahatma Gandhi sitting cross-legged on the floor reading, spinning wheel in the foreground. Bourke-White's photographs helped shape the way millions of Americans experienced the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the world that followed. In front of the camera she cultivated an image of herself as fearless, undaunted in pursuit of her "shot," and fashionable, donning fine clothes and a coquettish smile. After three decades in the public eye Bourke-White began to write her memoirs in the early 1950s. When Portrait of Myself finally appeared in 1963, she had already published ten books, countless essays, and been the subject of many interviews. In fact, but for the occasional gallery exhibition, text had always surrounded Bourke-White's photographs. This exhibition explores how text "framed" the photography of Margaret Bourke-White and, ultimately, how she sought to transcend the limits of the medium that made her famous.

Alison Rossiter: Revive Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Alison Rossiter makes photographs without using a camera. Captivated by the mechanics and materials of pre-digital photography, she collects decades-expired photographic paper—the oldest dating to 1900—which she develops in her darkroom, coaxing out of each sheet the gorgeous composition of lights and shades it holds within. Though Rossiter has used a camera, and has made photograms of books and light drawings of horses, she focuses on her experiments with expired paper. Her intimate compositions often resemble moody landscapes or Abstract Expressionist paintings. With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

Culture of the Cocktail Hour Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The story of cocktail fashions has several associations with local history. This exhibit will discover some of those people, places and events, including Syracuse's most famous cocktail lounges of days gone by. Cocktails also conjure up the exciting era of the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies flourished during the decade of Prohibition. Displays will include the story of one of the most famous local speakeasies, located just a few hundred feet from the OH Museum, including a menu of its libations, and the tale of the police raid that shut it down. Also on exhibit, along with other documents and artifacts of the era will be an original federal court ledger listing arrests and convictions across the state for Prohibition violations and a local brewery's recipes for "near beer" and flavored sodas, which helped keep them in business through the infamous "dry" years when America famously tried unsuccessfully to eliminate intoxicating beverages from its culture.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Last: Works by Dorene Quinn Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
In her exhibition "Last," Dorene Quinn uses visual forms and diverse materials to create memorials to nature that speak of our relationship to the earth. The dual meaning of the word "last" is the genesis of her current body of work, engaging with humanity in an act of counting down, last one of species, last fateful decades of rising temperatures, last chance to contain the damage. The artificiality and imperfection of the works reflect the futility in acting too late, to repair or preserve. By working in fragile environments, Quinn calls attention to her experience and presence in hopes that these places can remain. Quinn currently teaches sculpture at Syracuse University and founded a non-for-profit educational program for inner city teens to gain access to college art and design programs.

Slaid Cleaves Folkus Project
Price: $20 regular, $17 member May Memorial Unitarian Society
3800 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Slaid Cleaves is one of the most beloved and respected of the Texas-style songwriters (shades of Townes Van Zandt and Robert Earl Keen). And he was on the very short list of truly top-notch singer-songwriters never to have appeared in the Folkus series, until now. Among Cleaves's biggest fans is the novelist Stephen King, and it's easy to see why. Cleaves's songs tell the kinds of stories and paint the kinds of verbal pictures associated with John Steinbeck and Ray Carver. His smoothly crafted songs are instantly engaging, fully enveloping, and pull you into the worlds of characters for whom life is a gritty and sometimes bittersweet adventure. He is one of America's very best poet-songwriters, with a musical style that is at once warm and arresting. His relaxed, intimate voice and easy-going instrumental approach complete the package. Plus, he's bringing fiddler/mandolist Chojo Jacques. This is not a show to be missed. If you love Ellis Paul, John Gorka, Richard Shindell, or Dar Williams, but have never seen Slaid Cleaves, this is your chance to get on board. Trust us.

Accompanying Marsalis are CNY Jazz musicians Larry Luttinger, Rick Mantalbano, and Danny Ziemann.

The Laramie Project Central New York Playhouse Justin Polly, director
Price: $20 CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage),
Dewitt
In October 1998, a 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. His bloody, bruised and battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard. They conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. Some people interviewed were directly connected to the case, and others were citizens of Laramie, and the breadth of their reactions to the crime is fascinating. Kaufman and Tectonic Theater members have constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience from these interviews and their own experiences. The Laramie Project is a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.

A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

It's in Our Very Name: The Italian Heritage of Syracuse Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
As a crossroads for many immigrants from around the world, Syracuse became the home for Italians who were looking to build a better life. In turn, these immigrants changed Syracuse both physically, by helping with different architectural and infrastructure projects, and culturally, by importing new foods and customs to our community and by participation at all levels in the Syracuse economy. The exhibit will focus on the history and influence of Italian culture in Syracuse beginning with the name given to this village in 1825, which was adopted when John Wilkinson was inspired by a poem about Siracusa, Sicily. By the 1880s, an increasing number of Italian immigrants began to arrive to take advantage of the thriving Syracuse economy and other opportunities that were available. Some artifacts that will be highlighted include a wine press, a set of wooden bocce balls, and purses made at the Resnick purse factory.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Gallery 4040
4040 New Court Ave (off Midler),
Syracuse
A contemporary drawing show featuring works by Anne Novado, Donalee Peden Wesley, Elena Peteva, and Melissa Zarem. This exhibition focuses on some of the different approaches artists have in the practice of drawing. At times the immediacy of the mark made by drawing material is enough to convey a response, thought or idea, whereas other times the artist becomes absorbed in the process of layering, adding and subtracting to arrive at the image they were compelled to find. What is so fascinating is even with all the technology around us, the practice of drawing is still very fresh and ongoing.

Culture of the Cocktail Hour Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The story of cocktail fashions has several associations with local history. This exhibit will discover some of those people, places and events, including Syracuse's most famous cocktail lounges of days gone by. Cocktails also conjure up the exciting era of the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies flourished during the decade of Prohibition. Displays will include the story of one of the most famous local speakeasies, located just a few hundred feet from the OH Museum, including a menu of its libations, and the tale of the police raid that shut it down. Also on exhibit, along with other documents and artifacts of the era will be an original federal court ledger listing arrests and convictions across the state for Prohibition violations and a local brewery's recipes for "near beer" and flavored sodas, which helped keep them in business through the infamous "dry" years when America famously tried unsuccessfully to eliminate intoxicating beverages from its culture.

Last: Works by Dorene Quinn Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
In her exhibition "Last," Dorene Quinn uses visual forms and diverse materials to create memorials to nature that speak of our relationship to the earth. The dual meaning of the word "last" is the genesis of her current body of work, engaging with humanity in an act of counting down, last one of species, last fateful decades of rising temperatures, last chance to contain the damage. The artificiality and imperfection of the works reflect the futility in acting too late, to repair or preserve. By working in fragile environments, Quinn calls attention to her experience and presence in hopes that these places can remain. Quinn currently teaches sculpture at Syracuse University and founded a non-for-profit educational program for inner city teens to gain access to college art and design programs.

Opening: Taking Turns: New Work by Chandra DeBuse and Tommy Frank Gandee Gallery
Gandee Gallery
7846 Main St.,
Fabius
There will be an opening reception this evening 6:00-8:00 pm. Chandra DeBuse and Tommy Frank are both ceramic artist based in Kansas City, MO. Debuse's functional pottery incorporates narrative imagery, pattern, and "candy colors" and explores worlds of imagination with determined characters and landscapes of leisure. Her aim is to "amuse and delight the user, imparting a sense of play." She is a full-time studio potter and educator, and received a MFA from the University of Florida in 2010. Frank's work combines "humor, function and a love of ceramic materiality" and often "satirizes the state of the American economy." It is inspired by George Orwell's classic novel Animal Farm, with the different characters exposing our own place in the socio-economic narrative. He earned a MFA from Bowling Green State University and currently works for Red Star Studios in Kansas City.

Alison Rossiter: Revive Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Alison Rossiter makes photographs without using a camera. Captivated by the mechanics and materials of pre-digital photography, she collects decades-expired photographic paper—the oldest dating to 1900—which she develops in her darkroom, coaxing out of each sheet the gorgeous composition of lights and shades it holds within. Though Rossiter has used a camera, and has made photograms of books and light drawings of horses, she focuses on her experiments with expired paper. Her intimate compositions often resemble moody landscapes or Abstract Expressionist paintings. With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Tammy Renée Brackett: Dear Deer Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Curated by SUArt Galleries Associate Director and Curator of Collections David L. Prince, Brackett's recent work combines the digital and natural world to explore humans' relationship with animals. The exhibition focuses on the white-tailed deer, posing questions about population control, loss of habitat, and mortality. Presented concurrently with the exhibition "Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945," this exhibition is the first in a series of presentations that celebrate women and the arts at the Syracuse University Art Galleries. Brackett took a doe in her second season as a hunter and learned from a neighbor how to stretch and tan the hide. She then designed small light silhouettes that replicated running deer. Using computer software, Brackett multiplied the silhouettes into virtual herds, running in place on the tanned deer skin. An accompanying audio soundtrack describes the many manmade sounds heard by wildlife in the woods. Bracket's soundtrack raises the question of who, humans or deer, has a larger environmental impact.

Culture of the Cocktail Hour Onondaga Historical Association
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St.,
Syracuse
The story of cocktail fashions has several associations with local history. This exhibit will discover some of those people, places and events, including Syracuse's most famous cocktail lounges of days gone by. Cocktails also conjure up the exciting era of the Roaring Twenties, when speakeasies flourished during the decade of Prohibition. Displays will include the story of one of the most famous local speakeasies, located just a few hundred feet from the OH Museum, including a menu of its libations, and the tale of the police raid that shut it down. Also on exhibit, along with other documents and artifacts of the era will be an original federal court ledger listing arrests and convictions across the state for Prohibition violations and a local brewery's recipes for "near beer" and flavored sodas, which helped keep them in business through the infamous "dry" years when America famously tried unsuccessfully to eliminate intoxicating beverages from its culture.

The Laramie Project Central New York Playhouse Justin Polly, director
Price: $15 CNY Playhouse
Shoppingtown Mall, Entrance No. 4 (adjacent to parking garage),
Dewitt
In October 1998, a 21-year-old student at the University of Wyoming was kidnapped, severely beaten and left to die, tied to a fence in the middle of the prairie outside Laramie, Wyoming. His bloody, bruised and battered body was not discovered until the next day, and he died several days later in an area hospital. His name was Matthew Shepard, and he was the victim of this assault because he was gay. Moisés Kaufman and fellow members of the Tectonic Theater Project made six trips to Laramie over the course of a year and a half in the aftermath of the beating and during the trial of the two young men accused of killing Shepard. They conducted more than 200 interviews with the people of the town. Some people interviewed were directly connected to the case, and others were citizens of Laramie, and the breadth of their reactions to the crime is fascinating. Kaufman and Tectonic Theater members have constructed a deeply moving theatrical experience from these interviews and their own experiences. The Laramie Project is a breathtaking theatrical collage that explores the depths to which humanity can sink and the heights of compassion of which we are capable.

A Dialogue with Nature: Works by Adriana Meiss and Maureen Barcza Baltimore Woods Weeks Art Gallery
Price: Free Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd.,
Marcellus
Costa-Rican born Adriana Meiss says that she finds inspiration in nature and the way that man has changed the environment, with her favorite subjects being landscapes and flowers. She most often works on location, having to work quickly because of changes in light, and then all from memory, she completes the work in her studio. Maureen Barcza, like Meiss, prefers working directly from life and on site when something catches her interest. Feelings conveyed in the painting are also of paramount importance. She believes that she has the best of both worlds, i.e. working directly from nature when weather permits and indulging her love of still life and portraiture when confined to the studio. Although generally open to the public, the program room is occasionally used for nature-themed classes and private parties. Those interested in the gallery may wish to call before their visit to be sure that the program room will not be in use when they arrive.

Context: Reading the Photography of Margaret Bourke-White Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center
Price: Free Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a celebrity behind, and in front of, the camera. As a photographer for Life magazine from the 1930s through the 1950s, she documented unforgettable moments--African-American flood victims in Louisville, KY, standing in a bread line beneath a banner that reads almost mockingly "There's No Way Like the American Way"; just-liberated survivors of the Buchenwald Concentration Camp returning the camera's gaze under an eerily cinematic light; Mahatma Gandhi sitting cross-legged on the floor reading, spinning wheel in the foreground. Bourke-White's photographs helped shape the way millions of Americans experienced the Great Depression, the Second World War, and the world that followed. In front of the camera she cultivated an image of herself as fearless, undaunted in pursuit of her "shot," and fashionable, donning fine clothes and a coquettish smile. After three decades in the public eye Bourke-White began to write her memoirs in the early 1950s. When Portrait of Myself finally appeared in 1963, she had already published ten books, countless essays, and been the subject of many interviews. In fact, but for the occasional gallery exhibition, text had always surrounded Bourke-White's photographs. This exhibition explores how text "framed" the photography of Margaret Bourke-White and, ultimately, how she sought to transcend the limits of the medium that made her famous.

Alison Rossiter: Revive Light Work Gallery
Price: Free Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Alison Rossiter makes photographs without using a camera. Captivated by the mechanics and materials of pre-digital photography, she collects decades-expired photographic paper—the oldest dating to 1900—which she develops in her darkroom, coaxing out of each sheet the gorgeous composition of lights and shades it holds within. Though Rossiter has used a camera, and has made photograms of books and light drawings of horses, she focuses on her experiments with expired paper. Her intimate compositions often resemble moody landscapes or Abstract Expressionist paintings. With titles like Eastern Kodak Royal Bromide, expired March 1919, processed in 2010, Rossiter documents the paper she uses and its expiration and processing dates, emphasizing its history. "It's time travelling," she explains. "I can hold a Fuji paper that I know was made between the wars and I'm transported to pre-World War II Japan."

Margaret Bourke-White: Moments in History 1930-1945 Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
SU Art Galleries, in collaboration with the SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center, presents an exhibition of over 180 vintage photographs taken in the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Germany, England and Italy in the 1930s and 40s. The exhibition will also feature original Life and Fortune magazines, in addition to correspondence related to Bourke-White's photography and projects. This is the first of a series of exhibitions celebrating women in the arts. In the male-dominated world of early 20th-century photojournalism, Margaret Bourke-White (1904-1971) was a striking exception to the rule. She was the first woman to work for Fortune and Life magazine. In Russia, she photographed a smiling Stalin and in Georgia the aged mother of the dictator. In 1941, when the first German bombs fell on Moscow, Bourke-White was the only foreign photojournalist in the city. Many of her images are unforgettable, like the ones she took following the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp by American troops. Margaret Bourke-White was not just a passionate and gifted photographer; she was, above all, the 'eye' of her time. She was prepared to do whatever it took to capture current events and she photographed the most remarkable moments in 20th century history. As a young photographer, she barely survived a German torpedo attack, shot pictures from Allied bombers and teetered on a projecting roof-top ledge to photograph New York from the dizzy heights of the Chrysler Building. This exhibition was curated by Oliva María Rubio of La Fábrica, Spain, and is a co-production by the Hague Museum of Photography, La Fábrica (Spain), Martin-Gropius-Bau (Germany), Preus-Museum (Norway), and Syracuse University Libraries (United States). The Syracuse University Art Galleries is the closing venue for this monumental exhibition that has toured throughout Europe for the past two years.

Last: Works by Dorene Quinn Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
In her exhibition "Last," Dorene Quinn uses visual forms and diverse materials to create memorials to nature that speak of our relationship to the earth. The dual meaning of the word "last" is the genesis of her current body of work, engaging with humanity in an act of counting down, last one of species, last fateful decades of rising temperatures, last chance to contain the damage. The artificiality and imperfection of the works reflect the futility in acting too late, to repair or preserve. By working in fragile environments, Quinn calls attention to her experience and presence in hopes that these places can remain. Quinn currently teaches sculpture at Syracuse University and founded a non-for-profit educational program for inner city teens to gain access to college art and design programs.
