"Rust Belt: New Pants" is an outdoor art exhibit that examines the evolving identity of the city of Syracuse, starting with its industrial, manufacturing beginnings and going to its presence as a post-industrial and cultural hub. Seven local Syracuse artists will be showing their work in the exhibition. While these artists each approached the symbolization of the city's evolution differently in their work, they all recognized the effects post-industrial renewal is having on Syracuse's identity. Furthermore, they chose to represent the city's past by utilizing materials and creating structures that are reminiscent of Syracuse's industrial age. The works encompass a variety of mediums including mural, sculpture, and video.

An American Look: Fashion, Decorative Arts and Gustav Stickley Everson Museum of Art
Price: $10 regular, $8 students/seniors/military, $5 Everson members, $30 family (up to 2 adults & 4 children) Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"An American Look" is a unique exhibition that, for the first time, examines the influence of an Arts & Crafts aesthetic in American fashion during the early 20th century. Color, texture and motif were all adapted from the Arts & Crafts elements of furniture, ceramics and other furnishings of the period for upper-class fashion. Clothing styles of 1910-1914 are particularly representative of the elegant simplicity of Arts and Crafts objects popular in the preceding decade. "An American Look" includes 34 examples from the Sue Ann Genet Costume Collection housed at Syracuse University, along with ceramics, Stickley furniture, and other decorative art examples from the Everson's permanent collection. The exhibition is co-curated by Jeffrey Mayer, curator of the Genet Costume Collection and associate professor of fashion design and history at Syracuse University, and Everson Museum Senior Curator Debora Ryan.

Transfiguring Art: Contemporary Colombian Abstract Painting La Casita Cultural Center
Price: Free La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
"Transfiguring Art: Contemporary Colombian Abstract Painting" is a collection of oil and acrylic pieces on canvas showcasing three contemporary Colombian artists exploring non-figurative art. The exhibit is conceived as a bridge-building opportunity and artistic exchange between artists residing at home and in the diaspora, in Colombia, Mexico, and the United States. It includes paintings by Fernando Manrique, Rafael Ordoñez, and Esperanza Tielbaard Pazmiño, all of whom explore the of textural and composition possibilities in abstract art. The artistic proposals of Manrique, Ordoñez and Pazmiño share an interest in communicating the rich sensory experiences and of the conceptual suggestions possible in pictorial abstraction. Their works explore alternative ways of engaging reality and ask viewers to see through the senses as they travel through interweaving forms, suggestive textures, and provoking compositions. Their canvases challenge accepted distinctions between abstract and figurative painting, as well as between purist and committed art from Latin America, since they incorporate issues of identity, technology, nature, and affect as themes to be explored through the senses. The collection invites us to be seduced by the mix and to reflect on our understanding of artistic creation and perception, and changing patterns in the 21st century.

Remnants of a Secret War: Photographs by Mike Greenlar ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
An award-winning photographer for the Syracuse Post-Standard, Mike Greenlar traveled 10 times to a remote mountain region of Laos to document the effects of cluster bombing on the Hmong people. The US covert bombing campaign between 1964 and 1973 gave Laos the distinction of being the most bombed country in the history of warfare--over two million tons of ordnance was dropped. Mike documented life in two resettlement villages where the Hmong continue to farm land rife with unexploded cluster bombs and other munitions. His work shows the resourcefulness of a people who rely on each other, and on those very bombs, for their livelihood. The result is a stunning collection of documentary photographs. "Remnants of a Secret War," also the title of his recently published book, displays both some of the collection found in the book and some never before published. The legacy of the "secret" bombings of Laos takes many forms and offers many stories. In this collection of painfully yet beautifully rendered black and white photographs, he shares some of them with us.

Transfiguring Art: Contemporary Colombian Abstract Painting La Casita Cultural Center
Price: Free La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
"Transfiguring Art: Contemporary Colombian Abstract Painting" is a collection of oil and acrylic pieces on canvas showcasing three contemporary Colombian artists exploring non-figurative art. The exhibit is conceived as a bridge-building opportunity and artistic exchange between artists residing at home and in the diaspora, in Colombia, Mexico, and the United States. It includes paintings by Fernando Manrique, Rafael Ordoñez, and Esperanza Tielbaard Pazmiño, all of whom explore the of textural and composition possibilities in abstract art. The artistic proposals of Manrique, Ordoñez and Pazmiño share an interest in communicating the rich sensory experiences and of the conceptual suggestions possible in pictorial abstraction. Their works explore alternative ways of engaging reality and ask viewers to see through the senses as they travel through interweaving forms, suggestive textures, and provoking compositions. Their canvases challenge accepted distinctions between abstract and figurative painting, as well as between purist and committed art from Latin America, since they incorporate issues of identity, technology, nature, and affect as themes to be explored through the senses. The collection invites us to be seduced by the mix and to reflect on our understanding of artistic creation and perception, and changing patterns in the 21st century.

UVP Annual Summer Review: Stainless by Adam Magyar Urban Video Project
Price: Free Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Stainless" is part of Adam Magyar's larger project of using sophisticated recording technologies to explore the flow of time and life through urban landscapes and the people that inhabit them. Shot in black and white using a high speed camera, "Stainless" stretches the 12 seconds it takes a subway train to arrive into 8 minutes, showing us a world of slowed down motion and candid portraiture: people waiting on a subway platform, caught in a liminal zone between the A and B of everyday life, their small gestures and facial expressions by turns bored, tired, engrossed in thought and expectant. The title refers to the stainless steel from which subway train cars are made, a material that is resistant to corrosion but not altogether impervious. Like the material, these portraits convey both the strength and vulnerability of the subjects.

Clothing styles of 1910-1914 are particularly representative of the elegant simplicity of Arts and Crafts objects popular in the preceding decade. "An American Look" includes 34 examples from the Sue Ann Genet Costume Collection housed at Syracuse University, along with ceramics, Stickley furniture, and other decorative art examples from the Everson's permanent collection. The exhibition is co-curated by Jeffrey Mayer, curator of the Genet Costume Collection and associate professor of fashion design and history at Syracuse University, and Everson Museum Senior Curator Debora Ryan.

UVP Annual Summer Review: Stainless by Adam Magyar Urban Video Project
Price: Free Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Stainless" is part of Adam Magyar's larger project of using sophisticated recording technologies to explore the flow of time and life through urban landscapes and the people that inhabit them. Shot in black and white using a high speed camera, "Stainless" stretches the 12 seconds it takes a subway train to arrive into 8 minutes, showing us a world of slowed down motion and candid portraiture: people waiting on a subway platform, caught in a liminal zone between the A and B of everyday life, their small gestures and facial expressions by turns bored, tired, engrossed in thought and expectant. The title refers to the stainless steel from which subway train cars are made, a material that is resistant to corrosion but not altogether impervious. Like the material, these portraits convey both the strength and vulnerability of the subjects.

Transfiguring Art: Contemporary Colombian Abstract Painting La Casita Cultural Center
Price: Free La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
"Transfiguring Art: Contemporary Colombian Abstract Painting" is a collection of oil and acrylic pieces on canvas showcasing three contemporary Colombian artists exploring non-figurative art. The exhibit is conceived as a bridge-building opportunity and artistic exchange between artists residing at home and in the diaspora, in Colombia, Mexico, and the United States. It includes paintings by Fernando Manrique, Rafael Ordoñez, and Esperanza Tielbaard Pazmiño, all of whom explore the of textural and composition possibilities in abstract art. The artistic proposals of Manrique, Ordoñez and Pazmiño share an interest in communicating the rich sensory experiences and of the conceptual suggestions possible in pictorial abstraction. Their works explore alternative ways of engaging reality and ask viewers to see through the senses as they travel through interweaving forms, suggestive textures, and provoking compositions. Their canvases challenge accepted distinctions between abstract and figurative painting, as well as between purist and committed art from Latin America, since they incorporate issues of identity, technology, nature, and affect as themes to be explored through the senses. The collection invites us to be seduced by the mix and to reflect on our understanding of artistic creation and perception, and changing patterns in the 21st century.

An American Look: Fashion, Decorative Arts and Gustav Stickley Everson Museum of Art
Price: $10 regular, $8 students/seniors/military, $5 Everson members, $30 family (up to 2 adults & 4 children) Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"An American Look" is a unique exhibition that, for the first time, examines the influence of an Arts & Crafts aesthetic in American fashion during the early 20th century. Color, texture and motif were all adapted from the Arts & Crafts elements of furniture, ceramics and other furnishings of the period for upper-class fashion. Clothing styles of 1910-1914 are particularly representative of the elegant simplicity of Arts and Crafts objects popular in the preceding decade. "An American Look" includes 34 examples from the Sue Ann Genet Costume Collection housed at Syracuse University, along with ceramics, Stickley furniture, and other decorative art examples from the Everson's permanent collection. The exhibition is co-curated by Jeffrey Mayer, curator of the Genet Costume Collection and associate professor of fashion design and history at Syracuse University, and Everson Museum Senior Curator Debora Ryan.

Transfiguring Art: Contemporary Colombian Abstract Painting La Casita Cultural Center
Price: Free La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
"Transfiguring Art: Contemporary Colombian Abstract Painting" is a collection of oil and acrylic pieces on canvas showcasing three contemporary Colombian artists exploring non-figurative art. The exhibit is conceived as a bridge-building opportunity and artistic exchange between artists residing at home and in the diaspora, in Colombia, Mexico, and the United States. It includes paintings by Fernando Manrique, Rafael Ordoñez, and Esperanza Tielbaard Pazmiño, all of whom explore the of textural and composition possibilities in abstract art. The artistic proposals of Manrique, Ordoñez and Pazmiño share an interest in communicating the rich sensory experiences and of the conceptual suggestions possible in pictorial abstraction. Their works explore alternative ways of engaging reality and ask viewers to see through the senses as they travel through interweaving forms, suggestive textures, and provoking compositions. Their canvases challenge accepted distinctions between abstract and figurative painting, as well as between purist and committed art from Latin America, since they incorporate issues of identity, technology, nature, and affect as themes to be explored through the senses. The collection invites us to be seduced by the mix and to reflect on our understanding of artistic creation and perception, and changing patterns in the 21st century.

"Rust Belt: New Pants" is an outdoor art exhibit that examines the evolving identity of the city of Syracuse, starting with its industrial, manufacturing beginnings and going to its presence as a post-industrial and cultural hub.

The works encompass a variety of mediums including mural, sculpture, and video.

Remnants of a Secret War: Photographs by Mike Greenlar ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
An award-winning photographer for the Syracuse Post-Standard, Mike Greenlar traveled 10 times to a remote mountain region of Laos to document the effects of cluster bombing on the Hmong people. The US covert bombing campaign between 1964 and 1973 gave Laos the distinction of being the most bombed country in the history of warfare--over two million tons of ordnance was dropped. Mike documented life in two resettlement villages where the Hmong continue to farm land rife with unexploded cluster bombs and other munitions. His work shows the resourcefulness of a people who rely on each other, and on those very bombs, for their livelihood. The result is a stunning collection of documentary photographs. "Remnants of a Secret War," also the title of his recently published book, displays both some of the collection found in the book and some never before published. The legacy of the "secret" bombings of Laos takes many forms and offers many stories. In this collection of painfully yet beautifully rendered black and white photographs, he shares some of them with us.
