Meditation on Video (&) Language, a show by Tom Sherman
Point of Contact Gallery

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

A selection of new and previous works on video and drawings by artist Tom Sherman.

Reflecting on the work, the artist states: "The representation may be almost like a constellation of moments of awareness. It's impossible to summarize what you think in a video, but it is possible to create a veil of a series of works that contribute to the aggregate consciousness of a society, like a transparent curtain of events, of sub consciousness."

Sherman is a Professor of Arts, Design, and Transmedia at Syracuse University. He was a founding co-editor of Fuse magazine, Toronto (1980); founding director of Media Arts for the Canada Council for the Arts, Ottawa (1983-87), and co-founder of Nerve Theory, an international performance art/recording collaborative (1997). In 1980, he represented Canada at the Venice Biennale, and in 1986, was appointed international commissioner for that same Biennale that is one of the worlds major contemporary art exhibitions every two years in Venice, Italy. Among numerous distinctions, Sherman received the Bell Canada prize for excellence in video art in 2003, and Canada's Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2010.

Assembly-line Architecture: Repetition and Innovation in the Work of Marcel Breuer

Price: Free
Bird Library, 6th Floor
Syracuse University, Syracuse

The exhibit, curated by Teresa Harris, architectural historian and project coordinator for the Marcel Breuer Digital Archive, showcases original drawings, photographs and documents from Breuer's long career.

Like many modern architects, Marcel Breuer found inspiration in the repetition characteristic of industrial processes, often relying on modular units or a standard kit of parts to create his buildings and interiors. The limits imposed by these systems stimulated subtle formal and spatial innovation so that no two designs were exactly alike, despite common components.

TONY: 2012: "Manifest Destiny and the American West" and "Last House"
Onondaga Historical Association

Price: Free
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

These exhibits are mounted as part of the The Other New York (TONY): 2012, Syracuse's art biennial. OHA's TONY: 2012 exhibits are artistically presented interpretations of dynamic social trends that are part of the historic legacy of Central New York.

In a three-dimensional display employing nearly 1,000 images set in glass jars, "Manifest Destiny and the American West," an exhibit by Buffalo artist Robert Hirsch, asks the visitor to think about how our nation's geographic progression across the continent has shaped American culture. The desire to exploit the salt brine reserves on Onondaga Lake contributed to a westward migration of settlers across Central New York in the post-American Revolution era, while the construction of the Erie Canal enhanced this movement through the 19th century and enabled many travelers to reach lands in the farther reaches of the American continent.

"Last House" is a multi-channel video installation by media artist Carl Lee that explores the aesthetics and means of a house demolition in Buffalo. Cities like Buffalo and Syracuse are faced with a large number of abandoned houses. This video asks us to think about what we gain and lose in demolishing them. This installation will be accompanied by three paintings by Western New York artist Amy Greenan of vacant houses in Syracuse awaiting an uncertain future, including "Not Here, Not Now," her interpretation of 711 Tully Street, which seems poised to have a different fate on Syracuse's Near West Side than that if the house in Last House.

Onondaga Historical Association is proud to be one of 14 Central New York venues for TONY: 2012. TONY: 2012 is organized by the Everson Museum of Art in collaboration with ArtRage, Community Folk Art Center, Erie Canal Museum, Light Work, Onondaga Historical Association, Point of Contact, Rosamond Gifford Zoo, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, SUArt Galleries, Urban Video Project, The Warehouse Gallery, City of Syracuse, and XL Projects.

Faces, Forms and Illusions: Works by Scott Hutchison
Redhouse

Price: Free
Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St., Syracuse

Scott Hutchison is a painter living in the Washington DC metro area. His work combines contemporary realism and animation. An exploration of the human figure continues to be the leitmotiv of Hutchison's work with a long-standing interest in self portraiture.

Hutchison says:
"My animations combine traditional painting and drawing techniques with digital technology to create animated portraits, which are displayed on small LCD panels, or projected, large-scale. Dozens of individual stills portray my face, changing only slightly from one image to the next. When the images are unified digitally, an animation is created. Each video is comprised of multiple painted or drawn self-portraits that, although similar, possess slight variations of color and treatment. When animated, the paint and mark move across the surface, resulting in a portrait that is in constant flux."

Altered Environments: Works of Willson Cummer and Laura Wellner
Szozda Gallery

Szozda Gallery
Delavan Center, 501 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

This show brings together two artists, Laura J. Wellner and Willson Cummer, who view environments in different ways but whose works compliment each other's.

Wellner always tries to create something 'extraordinary out of the ordinary elements of nature' in her mixed media paintings, thereby, one might say, seeing something that's not physically there. Fine art photographer Willson Cummer gives viewers another dimension to familiar landmarks by including man-made intrusions that 'explore humanity's place in the environment.'

"Habitual" features work by a group of artists who explore the very notion of the habitual. They include City Meditation Crew and VPA students Emily Dunlap, Lily Fein, Nicholas Krapf, Cayla Lockwood, Joel Weissman, and Jian Zhong.

Artists' statement: However overt or latent, we are faced with constructing, continuing or terminating habits every day. Within the liminal space between compulsion and regiment, awareness of our practices becomes vague. As habits become repetitive and repetition becomes habit, we find ourselves in a cyclical relationship. So often this relationship is externalized and projected onto the places, objects and thoughts that construct our lived environment. As our desires erupt into actions, they become mitigated experiences between our needs and the objects meant to satisfy them. Actions become the affect and creators of our recurrent behaviors, helping to define our modes of existence. Showing how we each respond to our individual practice, our habits and repetitions will be seen in a multitude of ways.

TONY 2012: Karen Brummund
Urban Video Project

Price: Free
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The Everson is I.M. Pei's first museum commission. His art museums are commonly seen as art objects for art objects. They are sculptures in the landscape. Shortly after the Everson, Pei built the Johnson Museum of Art in Ithaca. In this site-specific video installation, images of the form and materials of both art museums are projected onto the Everson Museum. The images capture the light, surfaces, and depth of the architecture. The video uses images from two different buildings, analyzing how Pei's ideas bridge individual communities. These disparate places are abstractly connected through the architect's development. The plaza is not only infused with the presence of the Pei's forms, but also the conversation that takes place through his practice.

This video by Karen Brummund is part of The Other New York: 2012, a community-wide, multi-venue biennial exhibition that is the result of a major collaboration among 14 art organizations in Syracuse. This ambitious project aims

Hope Creations Arts and Crafts Fair

City Hall Commons Atrium
201 East Washington St., Syracuse

Hope Creations was developed as a day that people displayed arts and crafts, song, dance and poetry. They came together to share their gifts and talents with each other as well as others in the community. This may sound like a typical arts and crafts show ... the difference is that the people who participated in Hope Creations all have been involved in the mental health system.

People in the Peer Community of the Mental Health System have struggled with issues of low self-esteem and self doubt. They have not always been treated fairly, nor has society always valued their existence. Recovery is full of hard work, hard times and hard memories. We wanted Hope Creations to offer a time and a place that they could come together and share their gifts and many talents. Hope Creations is about celebrating our lives and our successes.

Delavan Center, 501 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

This show brings together two artists, Laura J. Wellner and Willson Cummer, who view environments in different ways but whose works compliment each other's.

Wellner always tries to create something 'extraordinary out of the ordinary elements of nature' in her mixed media paintings, thereby, one might say, seeing something that's not physically there. Fine art photographer Willson Cummer gives viewers another dimension to familiar landmarks by including man-made intrusions that 'explore humanity's place in the environment.'

As habits become repetitive and repetition becomes habit, we find ourselves in a cyclical relationship. So often this relationship is externalized and projected onto the places, objects and thoughts that construct our lived environment. As our desires erupt into actions, they become mitigated experiences between our needs and the objects meant to satisfy them. Actions become the affect and creators of our recurrent behaviors, helping to define our modes of existence.

The Everson is I.M. Pei's first museum commission. His art museums are commonly seen as art objects for art objects. They are sculptures in the landscape. Shortly after the Everson, Pei built the Johnson Museum of Art in Ithaca. In this site-specific video installation, images of the form and materials of both art museums are projected onto the Everson Museum. The images capture the light, surfaces, and depth of the architecture. The video uses images from two different buildings, analyzing how Pei's ideas bridge individual communities. These disparate places are abstractly connected through the architect's development. The plaza is not only infused with the presence of the Pei's forms, but also the conversation that takes place through his practice.

View and Brew Series: Shaun of the Dead
Redhouse

Price: $10 (includes one drink from cafe)
Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St., Syracuse

Shaun of the Dead is a 2004 British horror zombie comedy directed and co-written by Edgar Wright, and co-written and starring Simon Pegg alongside Nick Frost. A lovelorn loser decides to turn his moribund life around by winning back his ex-girlfriend, reconciling his relationship with his mother, and dealing with an entire community that has returned from the dead to eat the living. Gasp, laugh, and drink (whenever the rules apply) with this classic Zombie flick.

"There is something intrinsically ridiculous about zombie movies. No matter how scary they want to be, the spectacle of famished corpses lurching and groaning with their insatiable hunger for flesh and blood is worth at least a titter. The British horror comedy Shaun of the Dead skillfully plays off that ridiculousness by implying that Britain may already be populated with the living dead, metaphorically speaking." --New York Times

Our View and Brew series is a twist on an old favorite. Each month, the Redhouse will present a different classic film (either as a live reading or a screening) and create our own fun drinking game rules. Even better, the admission includes your first drink.

Playing God
Covey Theatre Company

BeVard Room, Mulroy Civic Center
411 Montgomery St., Syracuse

Three disparate authors are coerced into co-authoring a new book through veiled motives by their agent. Paul, a brash new talent whose premiere semi-autobiographical work has garnered international acclaim is dismayed to find himself creatively lashed to Ann, a stalwart author of successful thrillers, and Ken, a craftsman of 'chick lit' whose mass appeal is on the wane. Suspicious from the start, the three authors claw for creative dominance as the book begins to take shape, while their egos and shifting alliances are constantly called into question. Alternately hilarious and heart-breaking, Playing God channels the muses of creative genesis and the price of artistic integrity.

This performance will star Karis Wiggins, Lou Balestra, Darian Sundberg, Julia Berger, and Jordan Glaski.

Alive with a soundscape of 16 authentic sea shanties and performed by an ensemble of nine, this highly physical adaption cuts to the core of Melville's searing narrative and plays with the fury of a Nantucket sleigh ride. A young man seeks adventure on a whaling vessel and finds himself a pawn in an obsessive pursuit of vengeance that threatens death and destruction for all. Director Peter Amster returns to guide the ensemble in this thrilling and critically acclaimed telling of a classic American tale. Adapted for the stage by Julian Rad from the book by Herman Melville

After the death of her mother, Annabella is left to face adolescence alone. When her elder brother Giovanni returns home, he propels them both into a dangerous world of sexual transgression and youthful revolt. Together they crash through the boundaries of what can be said, what can be read, what to believe, and who can be loved. This passionate Jacobean drama is as shocking and controversial today as it was almost 400 years ago.

Faces, Forms and Illusions: Works by Scott Hutchison
Redhouse

Price: Free
Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St., Syracuse

Scott Hutchison is a painter living in the Washington DC metro area. His work combines contemporary realism and animation. An exploration of the human figure continues to be the leitmotiv of Hutchison's work with a long-standing interest in self portraiture.

Hutchison says:
"My animations combine traditional painting and drawing techniques with digital technology to create animated portraits, which are displayed on small LCD panels, or projected, large-scale. Dozens of individual stills portray my face, changing only slightly from one image to the next. When the images are unified digitally, an animation is created. Each video is comprised of multiple painted or drawn self-portraits that, although similar, possess slight variations of color and treatment. When animated, the paint and mark move across the surface, resulting in a portrait that is in constant flux."

Three well-known Central New York political cartoonists, Joe Glisson, Tim Atseff, and Frank Cammuso, are the featured cartoonists for an exhibition entitled "Take No Prisoners: Political Cartoons Over Time and Place." With insightful humor, these artists and their historic predecessors produced a wide variety of editorial cartoons that illustrated important issues of their time. Starting with cartoons from the Civil War era through the present day, "Take No Prisoners" is an opportunity to experience historic subjects as the current events they once were, and to see how election issues of the past compare with those of the present-day.

TONY: 2012: "Manifest Destiny and the American West" and "Last House"
Onondaga Historical Association

Price: Free
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

These exhibits are mounted as part of the The Other New York (TONY): 2012, Syracuse's art biennial. OHA's TONY: 2012 exhibits are artistically presented interpretations of dynamic social trends that are part of the historic legacy of Central New York.

In a three-dimensional display employing nearly 1,000 images set in glass jars, "Manifest Destiny and the American West," an exhibit by Buffalo artist Robert Hirsch, asks the visitor to think about how our nation's geographic progression across the continent has shaped American culture. The desire to exploit the salt brine reserves on Onondaga Lake contributed to a westward migration of settlers across Central New York in the post-American Revolution era, while the construction of the Erie Canal enhanced this movement through the 19th century and enabled many travelers to reach lands in the farther reaches of the American continent.

"Last House" is a multi-channel video installation by media artist Carl Lee that explores the aesthetics and means of a house demolition in Buffalo. Cities like Buffalo and Syracuse are faced with a large number of abandoned houses. This video asks us to think about what we gain and lose in demolishing them. This installation will be accompanied by three paintings by Western New York artist Amy Greenan of vacant houses in Syracuse awaiting an uncertain future, including "Not Here, Not Now," her interpretation of 711 Tully Street, which seems poised to have a different fate on Syracuse's Near West Side than that if the house in Last House.

Onondaga Historical Association is proud to be one of 14 Central New York venues for TONY: 2012.

Playing God
Covey Theatre Company

BeVard Room, Mulroy Civic Center
411 Montgomery St., Syracuse

Three disparate authors are coerced into co-authoring a new book through veiled motives by their agent. Paul, a brash new talent whose premiere semi-autobiographical work has garnered international acclaim is dismayed to find himself creatively lashed to Ann, a stalwart author of successful thrillers, and Ken, a craftsman of 'chick lit' whose mass appeal is on the wane. Suspicious from the start, the three authors claw for creative dominance as the book begins to take shape, while their egos and shifting alliances are constantly called into question. Alternately hilarious and heart-breaking, Playing God channels the muses of creative genesis and the price of artistic integrity.

This performance will star Karis Wiggins, Lou Balestra, Darian Sundberg, Julia Berger, and Jordan Glaski.

Altered Environments: Works of Willson Cummer and Laura Wellner
Szozda Gallery

Szozda Gallery
Delavan Center, 501 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

This show brings together two artists, Laura J. Wellner and Willson Cummer, who view environments in different ways but whose works compliment each other's.

Wellner always tries to create something 'extraordinary out of the ordinary elements of nature' in her mixed media paintings, thereby, one might say, seeing something that's not physically there. Fine art photographer Willson Cummer gives viewers another dimension to familiar landmarks by including man-made intrusions that 'explore humanity's place in the environment.'

TONY: 2012: "Manifest Destiny and the American West" and "Last House"
Onondaga Historical Association

Price: Free
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

These exhibits are mounted as part of the The Other New York (TONY): 2012, Syracuse's art biennial. OHA's TONY: 2012 exhibits are artistically presented interpretations of dynamic social trends that are part of the historic legacy of Central New York.

In a three-dimensional display employing nearly 1,000 images set in glass jars, "Manifest Destiny and the American West," an exhibit by Buffalo artist Robert Hirsch, asks the visitor to think about how our nation's geographic progression across the continent has shaped American culture. The desire to exploit the salt brine reserves on Onondaga Lake contributed to a westward migration of settlers across Central New York in the post-American Revolution era, while the construction of the Erie Canal enhanced this movement through the 19th century and enabled many travelers to reach lands in the farther reaches of the American continent.

"Last House" is a multi-channel video installation by media artist Carl Lee that explores the aesthetics and means of a house demolition in Buffalo. Cities like Buffalo and Syracuse are faced with a large number of abandoned houses. This video asks us to think about what we gain and lose in demolishing them. This installation will be accompanied by three paintings by Western New York artist Amy Greenan of vacant houses in Syracuse awaiting an uncertain future, including "Not Here, Not Now," her interpretation of 711 Tully Street, which seems poised to have a different fate on Syracuse's Near West Side than that if the house in Last House.

Onondaga Historical Association is proud to be one of 14 Central New York venues for TONY: 2012. TONY: 2012 is organized by the Everson Museum of Art in collaboration with ArtRage, Community Folk Art Center, Erie Canal Museum, Light Work, Onondaga Historical Association, Point of Contact, Rosamond Gifford Zoo, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, SUArt Galleries, Urban Video Project, The Warehouse Gallery, City of Syracuse, and XL Projects.

Habitual
XL Projects

Price: Free
XL Projects
307-313 S. Clinton St., Syracuse

"Habitual" features work by a group of artists who explore the very notion of the habitual. They include City Meditation Crew and VPA students Emily Dunlap, Lily Fein, Nicholas Krapf, Cayla Lockwood, Joel Weissman, and Jian Zhong.

Artists' statement: However overt or latent, we are faced with constructing, continuing or terminating habits every day. Within the liminal space between compulsion and regiment, awareness of our practices becomes vague. As habits become repetitive and repetition becomes habit, we find ourselves in a cyclical relationship. So often this relationship is externalized and projected onto the places, objects and thoughts that construct our lived environment. As our desires erupt into actions, they become mitigated experiences between our needs and the objects meant to satisfy them. Actions become the affect and creators of our recurrent behaviors, helping to define our modes of existence. Showing how we each respond to our individual practice, our habits and repetitions will be seen in a multitude of ways.

For more information, contact Andrew Havenhand at ahavenhand@yahoo.com. XL Projects may be contacted at 315-442-2542 during gallery hours.

Meditation on Video (&) Language, a show by Tom Sherman
Point of Contact Gallery

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

A selection of new and previous works on video and drawings by artist Tom Sherman.

Reflecting on the work, the artist states: "The representation may be almost like a constellation of moments of awareness. It's impossible to summarize what you think in a video, but it is possible to create a veil of a series of works that contribute to the aggregate consciousness of a society, like a transparent curtain of events, of sub consciousness."

Sherman is a Professor of Arts, Design, and Transmedia at Syracuse University. He was a founding co-editor of Fuse magazine, Toronto (1980); founding director of Media Arts for the Canada Council for the Arts, Ottawa (1983-87), and co-founder of Nerve Theory, an international performance art/recording collaborative (1997). In 1980, he represented Canada at the Venice Biennale, and in 1986, was appointed international commissioner for that same Biennale that is one of the worlds major contemporary art exhibitions every two years in Venice, Italy. Among numerous distinctions, Sherman received the Bell Canada prize for excellence in video art in 2003, and Canada's Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2010.

The exhibit, curated by Teresa Harris, architectural historian and project coordinator for the Marcel Breuer Digital Archive, showcases original drawings, photographs and documents from Breuer's long career.

Like many modern architects, Marcel Breuer found inspiration in the repetition characteristic of industrial processes, often relying on modular units or a standard kit of parts to create his buildings and interiors. The limits imposed by these systems stimulated subtle formal and spatial innovation so that no two designs were exactly alike, despite common components.

Shen Wei: I Miss You Already
Light Work Gallery

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

Chinese artist Shen Wei uses his self-portrait series "I Miss You Already" as a place for self-discovery and contemplation. Each image captures a momentary experience that describes the coming together of person and place. Many of the photographs are intensely sexual. His images invite others into his solitude by quietly beckoning or openly drawing the viewer in. They tease the camera, and therefore the viewer, in various degrees. That Wei is an attractive and physically fit young Asian man plays an important part in how his work addresses desire in the context of identity and bridges cultural and sexual barriers.

His overtly sexual photographs push against the boundaries of Wei's conservative Chinese upbringing, which occurred at a time when even art students did not get to study the nude body and would learn to draw the body from sculptural busts. Moving to the United States in 2000, Wei was confronted with very different societal attitudes toward the naked body and sexuality, and his response to these issues has become central to his work. It is not important to Wei that his photographs be understood in only one way, and he acknowledges that his work may be interpreted differently from country to country. He has also seen a shifting of social norms. Even in China it is now increasingly acceptable to depict the naked body, especially in art.

Wei uses his series to push against cultural boundaries, but in image after image he also explores his own comfort level with expressing his sexuality. Throughout the series we observe Wei trying on one environment and identity at a time. Although the images are constructed, the emotions are authentic. We see a young man asserting himself in front of the camera and claiming his right to define himself and his sexuality.

Direct from Beijing, the National Circus of the People's Republic of China, performing "Cirque Chinois," was founded in 1953, making it one of the longest running and most distinguished circus troupes in China.

The National Circus of the People's Republic of China is especially acclaimed in China because of the unique acts in their program such as Great Teeterboard, Grand Flying Trapeze, Group Contortion, Straw Hats Juggling, Girls' Balance With Bowls, and many other outstanding acts. Many of the Artists in the troupe have won international awards including Ms. Li Liping, the first Golden Clown winner from China at the renowned Monte Carlo International Circus Festival and Madame Xia Juhua, the "Chinese Ulanowa" of the Circus World and Chairwoman of the International Chinese Circus Society since the early 1980s. The Company has won over 20 gold and silver medals and various other awards at international circus festivals including the Monte Carlo International Circus Festival, Cirque de Demain, Wuqiao International Circus Festival, Wuhan International Circus Festival and China National Acrobatic Competition. The contribution the Company has made to the world circus society is profound.

During the 1980s, the Company started to change the concept of the "animal circus" to a new style of "non-animal circus" which influenced the then-pioneers of Cirque du Soleil who invited many coaches from the Company to teach them the acts such as Balancing Chairs, Bicycle and Chinese Poles, which culminated in the revolutionary program "Circus Reinvented!"

Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

A selection of new and previous works on video and drawings by artist Tom Sherman.

Reflecting on the work, the artist states: "The representation may be almost like a constellation of moments of awareness. It's impossible to summarize what you think in a video, but it is possible to create a veil of a series of works that contribute to the aggregate consciousness of a society, like a transparent curtain of events, of sub consciousness."

Sherman is a Professor of Arts, Design, and Transmedia at Syracuse University. He was a founding co-editor of Fuse magazine, Toronto (1980); founding director of Media Arts for the Canada Council for the Arts, Ottawa (1983-87), and co-founder of Nerve Theory, an international performance art/recording collaborative (1997). In 1980, he represented Canada at the Venice Biennale, and in 1986, was appointed international commissioner for that same Biennale that is one of the worlds major contemporary art exhibitions every two years in Venice, Italy. Among numerous distinctions, Sherman received the Bell Canada prize for excellence in video art in 2003, and Canada's Governor General's Award in Visual and Media Arts in 2010.

The exhibit, curated by Teresa Harris, architectural historian and project coordinator for the Marcel Breuer Digital Archive, showcases original drawings, photographs and documents from Breuer's long career.

Like many modern architects, Marcel Breuer found inspiration in the repetition characteristic of industrial processes, often relying on modular units or a standard kit of parts to create his buildings and interiors. The limits imposed by these systems stimulated subtle formal and spatial innovation so that no two designs were exactly alike, despite common components.

His images invite others into his solitude by quietly beckoning or openly drawing the viewer in. They tease the camera, and therefore the viewer, in various degrees. That Wei is an attractive and physically fit young Asian man plays an important part in how his work addresses desire in the context of identity and bridges cultural and sexual barriers.

Moving to the United States in 2000, Wei was confronted with very different societal attitudes toward the naked body and sexuality, and his response to these issues has become central to his work. It is not important to Wei that his photographs be understood in only one way, and he acknowledges that his work may be interpreted differently from country to country.

Throughout the series we observe Wei trying on one environment and identity at a time. Although the images are constructed, the emotions are authentic.

Three well-known Central New York political cartoonists, Joe Glisson, Tim Atseff, and Frank Cammuso, are the featured cartoonists for an exhibition entitled "Take No Prisoners: Political Cartoons Over Time and Place." With insightful humor, these artists and their historic predecessors produced a wide variety of editorial cartoons that illustrated important issues of their time. Starting with cartoons from the Civil War era through the present day, "Take No Prisoners" is an opportunity to experience historic subjects as the current events they once were, and to see how election issues of the past compare with those of the present-day.

TONY: 2012: "Manifest Destiny and the American West" and "Last House"
Onondaga Historical Association

Price: Free
Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

These exhibits are mounted as part of the The Other New York (TONY): 2012, Syracuse's art biennial. OHA's TONY: 2012 exhibits are artistically presented interpretations of dynamic social trends that are part of the historic legacy of Central New York.

In a three-dimensional display employing nearly 1,000 images set in glass jars, "Manifest Destiny and the American West," an exhibit by Buffalo artist Robert Hirsch, asks the visitor to think about how our nation's geographic progression across the continent has shaped American culture. The desire to exploit the salt brine reserves on Onondaga Lake contributed to a westward migration of settlers across Central New York in the post-American Revolution era, while the construction of the Erie Canal enhanced this movement through the 19th century and enabled many travelers to reach lands in the farther reaches of the American continent.

"Last House" is a multi-channel video installation by media artist Carl Lee that explores the aesthetics and means of a house demolition in Buffalo. Cities like Buffalo and Syracuse are faced with a large number of abandoned houses. This video asks us to think about what we gain and lose in demolishing them. This installation will be accompanied by three paintings by Western New York artist Amy Greenan of vacant houses in Syracuse awaiting an uncertain future, including "Not Here, Not Now," her interpretation of 711 Tully Street, which seems poised to have a different fate on Syracuse's Near West Side than that if the house in Last House.

Onondaga Historical Association is proud to be one of 14 Central New York venues for TONY: 2012. TONY: 2012 is organized by the Everson Museum of Art in collaboration with ArtRage, Community Folk Art Center, Erie Canal Museum, Light Work, Onondaga Historical Association, Point of Contact, Rosamond Gifford Zoo, Stone Quarry Hill Art Park, SUArt Galleries, Urban Video Project, The Warehouse Gallery, City of Syracuse, and XL Projects.

Since OHA's inception, it has amassed a collection of over 2,000 stereographs, or stereo views, of Onondaga County and beyond. Archived in the research holdings, these 3-D photographs have never before been exhibited. Guest curator Colleen Woolpert offers an overview of the collection, providing insight into the little known history of stereo photography while taking us back into the past with the aid of exhibition stereoscopes. The exhibit includes Syracuse views taken by local photographers as well as nationally-marketed views, historic stereoscopes, books, and related 3-D ephemera. It also looks at the combined industries of photography, publishing, manufacturing and marketing that contributed to the enormous popularity of the stereograph.

Nicoletti was represented last at Szozda Gallery with her unique, exquisitely-colored glass works. This time around, emphasis is on her one-of-a-kind bronzes that also depict her interpretation of motion that she calls "A System of Verbs: A Range of Motion."

Folger is a multi-talented artist noted especially for her mixed media, but here she concentrates on pastels.

Bencher and Wellner delve deeply into their continuing art forms -- Bencher through her encaustics finds multiple possibilities with color, texture and the calligraphic line; Wellner, in his abstracts of nature, reaches further into the universe that, he says, "Sometimes expects us to act directly, for we are its instruments."
