Lynette Blake: Within and Beyond
Weeks Art Gallery at Baltimore Woods

Price: Free
Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd., Marcellus

Lynette Blake's oil paintings draw the viewer in through complex layers of shape and color. The use of overlapping imagery conveys a depth that extends deep below the surface of the canvas. Objects, whether used directly or evoked by abstract shapes, float in and out of light illuminating them with a pervasive warm glow. The effect is otherworldly -- a feeling of being outside time and space is conveyed.

Blake has exhibited her work throughout the Northeast, and is currently represented locally by the Szozda Gallery in Syracuse, as well as national venues. She studied art at Brown University in Rhode Island and currently resides in Upstate NY.

Artist Statement: "Through my drawings I am creating a personal image of reality. It is not a reproduction of nature buy my expression of my emotions, sensations, and feelings, how that unique place impresses me. A photographed image preserves a visual event, but a drawing can entail the experience of seeing, of understanding atmosphere and space. In my drawings I try, for a change, to see things in black and white. I believe it is the only way to explore a uniquely natural landscape. The black and white landscapes have an almost mystical charm that changes with the time of day and season."

Claude Freeman is a Professor Emeritus at SUNY ESF where he taught Landscape Architecture for over 40 years. He now teaches drawing at the Art Department at OCC. Over many years his drawings have been accepted at numerous juried Art Shows including those at the Gibson Gallery in Potsdam, NY, the Lake Placid Center of the Arts in Lake Placid, NY, the Kirkland Art Center in Clinton, NY, Shelburne Farm's Art Exhibition in Shelburne, VT, and the Delavan Art Gallery, in Syracuse. Mr. Freeman has received a variety of awards and recognition for his artwork.

Pen and ink drawings of artist Ray Sax will be on display. The 57 drawings were created by Sax over a four year period that began in 1988 with a picnic to Lock 24 in Baldwinsville with his wife Betty. Enjoying the experience, they kept going from one lock to the next, Ray drawing each one.

Susan Worsham: Bittersweet/Bloodwork
Light Work Gallery

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

When Susan Worsham was just 18, her brother took his own life after severing his spinal cord in a motorcycle accident. As a young girl she had already lost her father to a heart attack, and finally in 2004, she lost her mother as well. In the words of Worsham, "Shortly after my mother passed I came across a set of antique veterinary slides. They were some of the most interesting things that I had ever seen. I framed ninety of them in a long wooden frame resembling the shape of the slide itself. It was the first piece of art that I made after my mother died. I called the piece a watercolor because of the collection of pastel colors, but it was also a sort of poem when you got close and read the titles ... Rabbit's Lung, Fowl's Spleen, and even Human Umbilical Cord. They seemed to hold beauty and death at the same time."

Worsham went on to photograph her old childhood home as well as her oldest neighbor, Margaret Daniel. Margaret is one of the last remaining threads from Worsham's childhood and was the last person to see her brother alive. She made him her homemade bread, and he finished the whole loaf before he shot himself. The story came full circle one day when Margaret brought out her dissection kit and microscope slides. She had been a biology teacher and was holding on to the same sort of slides that fascinated Worsham. Margaret's microscope and slides have since become a metaphor for Worsham's desire to look deeper into the landscape of her childhood--from the flora and fauna to the feelings, Margaret calls it "blood work."

In addition to Worsham's touching photographs made in and around Virginia, this exhibition features a selection of Margaret's dissection tools alongside her microscope, as well as audio recordings of their various conversations about plants, life, and death. All together, the photographs and accompaniments in Bittersweet/Bloodwork speak of the poetry of childhood, nature, discovery, love, and loss.

Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions
Syracuse University Art Museum

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

The Syracuse University Art Galleries is celebrating the career and life of Karl Schrag, American painter and printmaker, who would have been 100 years old this year. "Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions" is the first major examination of the artist's work since his death in 1995. The exhibition includes 70 original works of art by the influential artist, including paintings, prints and drawings.

Syracuse University has had a long and rewarding association with Karl Schrag and his family. It began in 1962 with a gift of a gouache painting titled "Coast in Autumn." Later the relationship grew with the first of numerous exhibitions, more gifts of artwork, and occasional lectures to students in the University's School of Art. Some 50 years later, S.U.'s art collection is much richer because of the 250-plus Karl Schrag artworks we maintain, and the continued support of Schrag Family.

2012 is also the centenary year of Karl Schrag's birth and gives us an opportunity to reinvestigate the talent, imagination, and sensitivity Schrag brought to his landscapes, still-life paintings, and portraits. A master of color, light, composition, and draftsmanship, Schrag captures nature and its great forces through an investigation of the lasting impressions each of us retain through experience. He engages his viewer with subtle mark making as well as with the bold calligraphic strokes so often associated with his work. His palette of almost Fauvist intensity adds dimension and passion to the landscapes he created.

Schrag's art career spanned more than 60 years and he had strong ties to the New York City art scene. After studying at the Art Students League, he joined S.W. Hayter's prestigious printmaking studio Atelier 17, working alongside artists Miró, Chagall and Jackson Pollock. Schrag was named director of the Atelier in 1950 and later began a long teaching career at Cooper Union, where he taught drawing and graphic arts from 1954-1968. Schrag had a direct impact on many of his students, including the Syracuse University-based artist Jerome Witkin. A student of Schrag at Cooper Union and a well-established contemporary artist, Witkin has commented on Schrags masterful handling of the landscape, and the evocative power of his vision.

The art selected for this exhibit will convey the artist's ability to see the landscape as if for the first time, the surprise of that special view, the recognition of his ability to feel wonder when looking at nature or figures, and the reward associated with seeing the world through his eyes.

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
to highlight the rich talent of artists across Upstate New York, with a special focus on Central New York.

The Everson Biennial, titled "The Other New York: 2012," is being exhibited in community art galleries across Syracuse this year. ArtRage is honored to participate by exhibiting the work of four artists chosen in collaboration with the Everson Museum.

Ben Altman, Neil Chowdhury, Bob Gates and Paul Pearce, the four photographers whose works comprise this exhibit, present work that, while distinctive, shares a key characteristic. All are documentary photographers who are a bit wary of being seen as truth tellers. Fully understanding that the "objective photograph" is a myth, their photographic work -- both in the process of its creation and the images presented -- casts into doubt our traditional notions of documentation, objectivity and veracity. Nonetheless, each photographer is visualizing a certain truth, which may be one we do not know, or one that we prefer to avoid knowing. Participating in the artist's unflinching gaze, we become complicit witnesses to situations -- torture, poverty, social class, and the effects of war -- often conveniently rendered invisible.

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
to highlight the rich talent of artists across Upstate New York, with a special focus on Central New York.

Video projection begins at dusk.

Susan Worsham: Bittersweet/Bloodwork
Light Work Gallery

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

When Susan Worsham was just 18, her brother took his own life after severing his spinal cord in a motorcycle accident. As a young girl she had already lost her father to a heart attack, and finally in 2004, she lost her mother as well. In the words of Worsham, "Shortly after my mother passed I came across a set of antique veterinary slides. They were some of the most interesting things that I had ever seen. I framed ninety of them in a long wooden frame resembling the shape of the slide itself. It was the first piece of art that I made after my mother died. I called the piece a watercolor because of the collection of pastel colors, but it was also a sort of poem when you got close and read the titles ... Rabbit's Lung, Fowl's Spleen, and even Human Umbilical Cord. They seemed to hold beauty and death at the same time."

Worsham went on to photograph her old childhood home as well as her oldest neighbor, Margaret Daniel. Margaret is one of the last remaining threads from Worsham's childhood and was the last person to see her brother alive. She made him her homemade bread, and he finished the whole loaf before he shot himself. The story came full circle one day when Margaret brought out her dissection kit and microscope slides. She had been a biology teacher and was holding on to the same sort of slides that fascinated Worsham. Margaret's microscope and slides have since become a metaphor for Worsham's desire to look deeper into the landscape of her childhood--from the flora and fauna to the feelings, Margaret calls it "blood work."

In addition to Worsham's touching photographs made in and around Virginia, this exhibition features a selection of Margaret's dissection tools alongside her microscope, as well as audio recordings of their various conversations about plants, life, and death. All together, the photographs and accompaniments in Bittersweet/Bloodwork speak of the poetry of childhood, nature, discovery, love, and loss.

Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions
Syracuse University Art Museum

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

The Syracuse University Art Galleries is celebrating the career and life of Karl Schrag, American painter and printmaker, who would have been 100 years old this year. "Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions" is the first major examination of the artist's work since his death in 1995. The exhibition includes 70 original works of art by the influential artist, including paintings, prints and drawings.

Syracuse University has had a long and rewarding association with Karl Schrag and his family. It began in 1962 with a gift of a gouache painting titled "Coast in Autumn." Later the relationship grew with the first of numerous exhibitions, more gifts of artwork, and occasional lectures to students in the University's School of Art. Some 50 years later, S.U.'s art collection is much richer because of the 250-plus Karl Schrag artworks we maintain, and the continued support of Schrag Family.

2012 is also the centenary year of Karl Schrag's birth and gives us an opportunity to reinvestigate the talent, imagination, and sensitivity Schrag brought to his landscapes, still-life paintings, and portraits. A master of color, light, composition, and draftsmanship, Schrag captures nature and its great forces through an investigation of the lasting impressions each of us retain through experience. He engages his viewer with subtle mark making as well as with the bold calligraphic strokes so often associated with his work. His palette of almost Fauvist intensity adds dimension and passion to the landscapes he created.

Schrag's art career spanned more than 60 years and he had strong ties to the New York City art scene. After studying at the Art Students League, he joined S.W. Hayter's prestigious printmaking studio Atelier 17, working alongside artists Miró, Chagall and Jackson Pollock. Schrag was named director of the Atelier in 1950 and later began a long teaching career at Cooper Union, where he taught drawing and graphic arts from 1954-1968. Schrag had a direct impact on many of his students, including the Syracuse University-based artist Jerome Witkin. A student of Schrag at Cooper Union and a well-established contemporary artist, Witkin has commented on Schrags masterful handling of the landscape, and the evocative power of his vision.

The art selected for this exhibit will convey the artist's ability to see the landscape as if for the first time, the surprise of that special view, the recognition of his ability to feel wonder when looking at nature or figures, and the reward associated with seeing the world through his eyes.

Price: Free

Lynette Blake's oil paintings draw the viewer in through complex layers of shape and color. The use of overlapping imagery conveys a depth that extends deep below the surface of the canvas. Objects, whether used directly or evoked by abstract shapes, float in and out of light illuminating them with a pervasive warm glow. The effect is otherworldly -- a feeling of being outside time and space is conveyed.

Blake has exhibited her work throughout the Northeast, and is currently represented locally by the Szozda Gallery in Syracuse, as well as national venues. She studied art at Brown University in Rhode Island and currently resides in Upstate NY.

Artist Statement: "Through my drawings I am creating a personal image of reality. It is not a reproduction of nature buy my expression of my emotions, sensations, and feelings, how that unique place impresses me. A photographed image preserves a visual event, but a drawing can entail the experience of seeing, of understanding atmosphere and space. In my drawings I try, for a change, to see things in black and white. I believe it is the only way to explore a uniquely natural landscape. The black and white landscapes have an almost mystical charm that changes with the time of day and season."

Claude Freeman is a Professor Emeritus at SUNY ESF where he taught Landscape Architecture for over 40 years. He now teaches drawing at the Art Department at OCC. Over many years his drawings have been accepted at numerous juried Art Shows including those at the Gibson Gallery in Potsdam, NY, the Lake Placid Center of the Arts in Lake Placid, NY, the Kirkland Art Center in Clinton, NY, Shelburne Farm's Art Exhibition in Shelburne, VT, and the Delavan Art Gallery, in Syracuse.

Susan Worsham: Bittersweet/Bloodwork
Light Work Gallery

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

When Susan Worsham was just 18, her brother took his own life after severing his spinal cord in a motorcycle accident. As a young girl she had already lost her father to a heart attack, and finally in 2004, she lost her mother as well. In the words of Worsham, "Shortly after my mother passed I came across a set of antique veterinary slides. They were some of the most interesting things that I had ever seen. I framed ninety of them in a long wooden frame resembling the shape of the slide itself. It was the first piece of art that I made after my mother died. I called the piece a watercolor because of the collection of pastel colors, but it was also a sort of poem when you got close and read the titles ... Rabbit's Lung, Fowl's Spleen, and even Human Umbilical Cord. They seemed to hold beauty and death at the same time."

Worsham went on to photograph her old childhood home as well as her oldest neighbor, Margaret Daniel. Margaret is one of the last remaining threads from Worsham's childhood and was the last person to see her brother alive. She made him her homemade bread, and he finished the whole loaf before he shot himself. The story came full circle one day when Margaret brought out her dissection kit and microscope slides. She had been a biology teacher and was holding on to the same sort of slides that fascinated Worsham. Margaret's microscope and slides have since become a metaphor for Worsham's desire to look deeper into the landscape of her childhood--from the flora and fauna to the feelings, Margaret calls it "blood work."

In addition to Worsham's touching photographs made in and around Virginia, this exhibition features a selection of Margaret's dissection tools alongside her microscope, as well as audio recordings of their various conversations about plants, life, and death. All together, the photographs and accompaniments in Bittersweet/Bloodwork speak of the poetry of childhood, nature, discovery, love, and loss.

Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions
Syracuse University Art Museum

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

The Syracuse University Art Galleries is celebrating the career and life of Karl Schrag, American painter and printmaker, who would have been 100 years old this year. "Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions" is the first major examination of the artist's work since his death in 1995. The exhibition includes 70 original works of art by the influential artist, including paintings, prints and drawings.

Syracuse University has had a long and rewarding association with Karl Schrag and his family. It began in 1962 with a gift of a gouache painting titled "Coast in Autumn." Later the relationship grew with the first of numerous exhibitions, more gifts of artwork, and occasional lectures to students in the University's School of Art. Some 50 years later, S.U.'s art collection is much richer because of the 250-plus Karl Schrag artworks we maintain, and the continued support of Schrag Family.

2012 is also the centenary year of Karl Schrag's birth and gives us an opportunity to reinvestigate the talent, imagination, and sensitivity Schrag brought to his landscapes, still-life paintings, and portraits. A master of color, light, composition, and draftsmanship, Schrag captures nature and its great forces through an investigation of the lasting impressions each of us retain through experience. He engages his viewer with subtle mark making as well as with the bold calligraphic strokes so often associated with his work. His palette of almost Fauvist intensity adds dimension and passion to the landscapes he created.

Schrag's art career spanned more than 60 years and he had strong ties to the New York City art scene. After studying at the Art Students League, he joined S.W. Hayter's prestigious printmaking studio Atelier 17, working alongside artists Miró, Chagall and Jackson Pollock. Schrag was named director of the Atelier in 1950 and later began a long teaching career at Cooper Union, where he taught drawing and graphic arts from 1954-1968. Schrag had a direct impact on many of his students, including the Syracuse University-based artist Jerome Witkin. A student of Schrag at Cooper Union and a well-established contemporary artist, Witkin has commented on Schrags masterful handling of the landscape, and the evocative power of his vision.

The art selected for this exhibit will convey the artist's ability to see the landscape as if for the first time, the surprise of that special view, the recognition of his ability to feel wonder when looking at nature or figures, and the reward associated with seeing the world through his eyes.

Lynette Blake's oil paintings draw the viewer in through complex layers of shape and color. The use of overlapping imagery conveys a depth that extends deep below the surface of the canvas. Objects, whether used directly or evoked by abstract shapes, float in and out of light illuminating them with a pervasive warm glow. The effect is otherworldly -- a feeling of being outside time and space is conveyed.

Blake has exhibited her work throughout the Northeast, and is currently represented locally by the Szozda Gallery in Syracuse, as well as national venues. She studied art at Brown University in Rhode Island and currently resides in Upstate NY.

Artist Statement: "Through my drawings I am creating a personal image of reality. It is not a reproduction of nature buy my expression of my emotions, sensations, and feelings, how that unique place impresses me. A photographed image preserves a visual event, but a drawing can entail the experience of seeing, of understanding atmosphere and space. In my drawings I try, for a change, to see things in black and white. I believe it is the only way to explore a uniquely natural landscape. The black and white landscapes have an almost mystical charm that changes with the time of day and season."

Claude Freeman is a Professor Emeritus at SUNY ESF where he taught Landscape Architecture for over 40 years. He now teaches drawing at the Art Department at OCC. Over many years his drawings have been accepted at numerous juried Art Shows including those at the Gibson Gallery in Potsdam, NY, the Lake Placid Center of the Arts in Lake Placid, NY, the Kirkland Art Center in Clinton, NY, Shelburne Farm's Art Exhibition in Shelburne, VT, and the Delavan Art Gallery, in Syracuse.

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.

An American Vision: East Meets West
Szozda Gallery

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

The fall season opens with new works by two popular local artists, Phil Parsons and Bob Niedzwiecki, who reveal the striking beauty between vastly different American landscapes of lush vegetation versus dry earth.

For Parsons, this show represents the latest installment of his familiar "Roadside Series," in which rural Central New York is prominent. This series of new images is done with a commitment to the realist movement, somewhat a departure for Parsons who says he is "not exclusively a traditional painter."

New works by realist painter Niedzwiecki deviate from the gentle, subtle Central New York landscapes for which he is typically known. A vacation return to the Southwest became the inspiration for capturing the beauty of landscapes that he fell in love with long before while living in Colorado and Arizona.

The Everson Biennial, titled "The Other New York: 2012," is being exhibited in community art galleries across Syracuse this year. ArtRage is honored to participate by exhibiting the work of four artists chosen in collaboration with the Everson Museum.

Ben Altman, Neil Chowdhury, Bob Gates and Paul Pearce, the four photographers whose works comprise this exhibit, present work that, while distinctive, shares a key characteristic. All are documentary photographers who are a bit wary of being seen as truth tellers. Fully understanding that the "objective photograph" is a myth, their photographic work -- both in the process of its creation and the images presented -- casts into doubt our traditional notions of documentation, objectivity and veracity. Nonetheless, each photographer is visualizing a certain truth, which may be one we do not know, or one that we prefer to avoid knowing. Participating in the artist's unflinching gaze, we become complicit witnesses to situations -- torture, poverty, social class, and the effects of war -- often conveniently rendered invisible.

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.

There will be a gallery reception this evening 5:00-7:00 pm.

When Susan Worsham was just 18, her brother took his own life after severing his spinal cord in a motorcycle accident. As a young girl she had already lost her father to a heart attack, and finally in 2004, she lost her mother as well. In the words of Worsham, "Shortly after my mother passed I came across a set of antique veterinary slides. They were some of the most interesting things that I had ever seen. I framed ninety of them in a long wooden frame resembling the shape of the slide itself. It was the first piece of art that I made after my mother died. I called the piece a watercolor because of the collection of pastel colors, but it was also a sort of poem when you got close and read the titles ... Rabbit's Lung, Fowl's Spleen, and even Human Umbilical Cord. They seemed to hold beauty and death at the same time."

Worsham went on to photograph her old childhood home as well as her oldest neighbor, Margaret Daniel. Margaret is one of the last remaining threads from Worsham's childhood and was the last person to see her brother alive. She made him her homemade bread, and he finished the whole loaf before he shot himself. The story came full circle one day when Margaret brought out her dissection kit and microscope slides. She had been a biology teacher and was holding on to the same sort of slides that fascinated Worsham. Margaret's microscope and slides have since become a metaphor for Worsham's desire to look deeper into the landscape of her childhood--from the flora and fauna to the feelings, Margaret calls it "blood work."

In addition to Worsham's touching photographs made in and around Virginia, this exhibition features a selection of Margaret's dissection tools alongside her microscope, as well as audio recordings of their various conversations about plants, life, and death. All together, the photographs and accompaniments in Bittersweet/Bloodwork speak of the poetry of childhood, nature, discovery, love, and loss.

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.

An American Vision: East Meets West
Szozda Gallery

Price: Free
Szozda Gallery
Delavan Center, 501 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

The fall season opens with new works by two popular local artists, Phil Parsons and Bob Niedzwiecki, who reveal the striking beauty between vastly different American landscapes of lush vegetation versus dry earth.

For Parsons, this show represents the latest installment of his familiar "Roadside Series," in which rural Central New York is prominent. This series of new images is done with a commitment to the realist movement, somewhat a departure for Parsons who says he is "not exclusively a traditional painter."

New works by realist painter Niedzwiecki deviate from the gentle, subtle Central New York landscapes for which he is typically known. A vacation return to the Southwest became the inspiration for capturing the beauty of landscapes that he fell in love with long before while living in Colorado and Arizona.

Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions
Syracuse University Art Museum

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

The Syracuse University Art Galleries is celebrating the career and life of Karl Schrag, American painter and printmaker, who would have been 100 years old this year. "Karl Schrag: Memories and Premonitions" is the first major examination of the artist's work since his death in 1995. The exhibition includes 70 original works of art by the influential artist, including paintings, prints and drawings.

Syracuse University has had a long and rewarding association with Karl Schrag and his family. It began in 1962 with a gift of a gouache painting titled "Coast in Autumn." Later the relationship grew with the first of numerous exhibitions, more gifts of artwork, and occasional lectures to students in the University's School of Art. Some 50 years later, S.U.'s art collection is much richer because of the 250-plus Karl Schrag artworks we maintain, and the continued support of Schrag Family.

2012 is also the centenary year of Karl Schrag's birth and gives us an opportunity to reinvestigate the talent, imagination, and sensitivity Schrag brought to his landscapes, still-life paintings, and portraits. A master of color, light, composition, and draftsmanship, Schrag captures nature and its great forces through an investigation of the lasting impressions each of us retain through experience. He engages his viewer with subtle mark making as well as with the bold calligraphic strokes so often associated with his work. His palette of almost Fauvist intensity adds dimension and passion to the landscapes he created.

Schrag's art career spanned more than 60 years and he had strong ties to the New York City art scene. After studying at the Art Students League, he joined S.W. Hayter's prestigious printmaking studio Atelier 17, working alongside artists Miró, Chagall and Jackson Pollock. Schrag was named director of the Atelier in 1950 and later began a long teaching career at Cooper Union, where he taught drawing and graphic arts from 1954-1968. Schrag had a direct impact on many of his students, including the Syracuse University-based artist Jerome Witkin. A student of Schrag at Cooper Union and a well-established contemporary artist, Witkin has commented on Schrags masterful handling of the landscape, and the evocative power of his vision.

The art selected for this exhibit will convey the artist's ability to see the landscape as if for the first time, the surprise of that special view, the recognition of his ability to feel wonder when looking at nature or figures, and the reward associated with seeing the world through his eyes.

ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

The Everson Biennial, titled "The Other New York: 2012," is being exhibited in community art galleries across Syracuse this year. ArtRage is honored to participate by exhibiting the work of four artists chosen in collaboration with the Everson Museum.

Ben Altman, Neil Chowdhury, Bob Gates and Paul Pearce, the four photographers whose works comprise this exhibit, present work that, while distinctive, shares a key characteristic. All are documentary photographers who are a bit wary of being seen as truth tellers. Fully understanding that the "objective photograph" is a myth, their photographic work -- both in the process of its creation and the images presented -- casts into doubt our traditional notions of documentation, objectivity and veracity. Nonetheless, each photographer is visualizing a certain truth, which may be one we do not know, or one that we prefer to avoid knowing. Participating in the artist's unflinching gaze, we become complicit witnesses to situations -- torture, poverty, social class, and the effects of war -- often conveniently rendered invisible.

Opening Lov U
The Warehouse Gallery

The Warehouse Gallery
350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

There will be an opening reception this evening 5:00-8:00 pm, including at performance at 7:00 pm.

"Lov U" is a multimedia installation by Senga Nengudi.

Colorado-based Senga Nengudi is a key figure of the Black Arts Movement in the 1970s and 1980s. Known primarily for performance-based art installations, her work focuses on movement and the human body, is multidisciplinary in nature and international in scope, with cultural references to Africa, the African Diaspora, and Asia. For her multimedia, performance-based exhibition "Lov U," Nengudi explores the physical senses of being human, and includes photographs and video to reflect on the essence of love. Drawn to discarded, everyday materials, the ephemerality of Nengudi's work is a metaphor for life's transience.

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

Lynette Blake: Within and Beyond
Weeks Art Gallery at Baltimore Woods

Price: Free
Baltimore Woods Nature Center
4007 Bishop Hill Rd., Marcellus

Lynette Blake's oil paintings draw the viewer in through complex layers of shape and color. The use of overlapping imagery conveys a depth that extends deep below the surface of the canvas. Objects, whether used directly or evoked by abstract shapes, float in and out of light illuminating them with a pervasive warm glow. The effect is otherworldly -- a feeling of being outside time and space is conveyed.

Blake has exhibited her work throughout the Northeast, and is currently represented locally by the Szozda Gallery in Syracuse, as well as national venues. She studied art at Brown University in Rhode Island and currently resides in Upstate NY.

Artist Statement: "Through my drawings I am creating a personal image of reality. It is not a reproduction of nature buy my expression of my emotions, sensations, and feelings, how that unique place impresses me. A photographed image preserves a visual event, but a drawing can entail the experience of seeing, of understanding atmosphere and space. In my drawings I try, for a change, to see things in black and white. I believe it is the only way to explore a uniquely natural landscape. The black and white landscapes have an almost mystical charm that changes with the time of day and season."

Claude Freeman is a Professor Emeritus at SUNY ESF where he taught Landscape Architecture for over 40 years. He now teaches drawing at the Art Department at OCC. Over many years his drawings have been accepted at numerous juried Art Shows including those at the Gibson Gallery in Potsdam, NY, the Lake Placid Center of the Arts in Lake Placid, NY, the Kirkland Art Center in Clinton, NY, Shelburne Farm's Art Exhibition in Shelburne, VT, and the Delavan Art Gallery, in Syracuse. Mr. Freeman has received a variety of awards and recognition for his artwork.

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.

Susan Worsham: Bittersweet/Bloodwork
Light Work Gallery

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

When Susan Worsham was just 18, her brother took his own life after severing his spinal cord in a motorcycle accident. As a young girl she had already lost her father to a heart attack, and finally in 2004, she lost her mother as well. In the words of Worsham, "Shortly after my mother passed I came across a set of antique veterinary slides. They were some of the most interesting things that I had ever seen. I framed ninety of them in a long wooden frame resembling the shape of the slide itself. It was the first piece of art that I made after my mother died. I called the piece a watercolor because of the collection of pastel colors, but it was also a sort of poem when you got close and read the titles ... Rabbit's Lung, Fowl's Spleen, and even Human Umbilical Cord. They seemed to hold beauty and death at the same time."

Worsham went on to photograph her old childhood home as well as her oldest neighbor, Margaret Daniel. Margaret is one of the last remaining threads from Worsham's childhood and was the last person to see her brother alive. She made him her homemade bread, and he finished the whole loaf before he shot himself. The story came full circle one day when Margaret brought out her dissection kit and microscope slides. She had been a biology teacher and was holding on to the same sort of slides that fascinated Worsham. Margaret's microscope and slides have since become a metaphor for Worsham's desire to look deeper into the landscape of her childhood--from the flora and fauna to the feelings, Margaret calls it "blood work."

In addition to Worsham's touching photographs made in and around Virginia, this exhibition features a selection of Margaret's dissection tools alongside her microscope, as well as audio recordings of their various conversations about plants, life, and death. All together, the photographs and accompaniments in Bittersweet/Bloodwork speak of the poetry of childhood, nature, discovery, love, and loss.

Two-time Grammy nominee Tommy Emmanuel is one of the world's most respected musicians. The legendary guitarist has a professional career that spans five decades and six continents. A household name in his native Australia, Tommy has garnered hundreds of thousands of loyal fans worldwide.

Emmanuel's unusual talent and life are common lore in Australia. Born into a musical family, Tommy and his older brother Phil were considered child prodigies. Tommy got his first guitar at age 4 and was taught by his mother. He learned by ear, with no formal instruction, and has never read music. By the age of 6, he was already working as a professional musician in the family band, variously named The Emmanuel Quartet, The Midget Surfaries, and The Trailblazers. Tommy played rhythm guitar and his older brother Phil played lead, along with their brother Chris on drums and sister Virginia on slide guitar. The Emmanuel siblings earned the family's sole income for several years. Tommy doesn't remember such responsibility as a hardship: "I've spent all my life from the age of four playing music and entertaining people. I never wanted to do anything else." By age 10, Emmanuel had played his way across Australia.

Tommy's unique style--he calls it simply "finger style"--is akin to playing guitar the way a pianist plays piano, using all 10 fingers. Rather than using a whole band for melody, rhythm, bass, and drum parts, Tommy plays all that, and more, on one guitar. Guitar legend Chet Atkins was one of the first to inspire Emmanuel to try this "fingerpicker" style as a child. Decades later, Atkins himself became one of Emmanuel's biggest fans.

Rave reviews greeted this farce by Tom Stoppard when it was recently revived in London. Feuding theatre critics Moon and Birdfoot, the first a fusty philanderer and the second a pompous and vindictive second stringer, are swept into the whodunit they are viewing. In the hilarious spoof of Agatha Christie-like melodramas that follows, the body under the sofa proves to be the missing first-string critic.

Newlyweds Paul and Corie Bratter have moved from their honeymoon suite in the Plaza Hotel to their run-down 5-floor walkup in Manhattan. It's cold, leaky, and attracts unwanted guests such as Corie's sensitive mother Ethel and Victor Velasco, the eccentric resident of the attic who is known as the 'Bluebeard of 48th St.' Patrons who enjoyed previous Covey productions like Avenue Q and The Graduate will certainly fall in love with this delightful Valentine to the trials and joys of young love.

Starring Sara Weiler, Jesse Orton, Karis Wiggins, Ed Mastin, Bil Hughes, and Bernie Kaplan.

Syracuse Stage

Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St., Syracuse

Written by Ping Chong and Kyle Bass with Sara Zatz. Cyprien Mihigo, dramaturg/cultural consultant, in collaboration with the performers and the Congolese community of Syracuse

Based on in-depth interviews, Cry From Peace: Voices from the Congo brings to the stage five real people, including survivors and refugees from the recent Congolese civil war, members of once opposing tribes—the abductor and the violated--struggling to leave the past behind and form a peaceful community in Central New York. A composition of interwoven personal narratives, powerful images and beautiful songs, Cry for Peace is a rich theatrical experience—a searing, moving and hopeful hymn to the power of the human spirit. From the creators of the acclaimed Tales from the Salt City.
