Hoop Dreams: Basketball and Contemporary Art Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
A multibillion-dollar global industry that began as a recreational activity more than a century ago, the game of basketball is deeply rooted in our society and culture. Playing or watching the sport invokes intangible ideas and feelings — beauty, excitement, hope, triumph, joy, pain, defeat — experiences that define what it means to be human. Artists have drawn creative inspiration from the personas and culture of the game for decades, and many in recent years have used them as a topic or metaphor to interrogate today's pressing social issues, from dismantling racial stereotypes and traditional gender roles to revealing systemic economic inequities, the effects of global commodification, and more. Featuring paintings, sculpture, photography, video, and installation works created by some of the most significant living artists in the United States, Hoop Dreams demonstrates how tightly intertwined contemporary art and life are with the art of the game.

50th Anniversary: Selections from Light Work Collection Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Remarkable in its breadth and depth, Light Work's 50th Anniversary exhibition is a thoughtful composition of photographic works that have come into Light Work's permanent collection over the past 50 years through the generosity of former artist-in-residence participants, Grant Awardees, and individual donations. The works on view are a reflective curation from over 4,000 objects and photographic prints from an extensive and diverse archive that maps the trends and developments in contemporary photography. The semi-centennial presents a unique opportunity to share the legacy of support the organization has extended to emerging and under-represented artists working in photography and digital image-making. Highlights in the show include early works from acclaimed photographers Dawoud Bey, Carrie Mae Weems, James Welling, and more.

Chromania Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Color is an essential therapy for those cold and gray Central New York winters. The Everson embraces this with Chromania, a riot of kaleidoscopic color guaranteed to chase the winter grays away. In the wake of Impressionism, 20th-century artists developed a range of strategies to explore and employ color. Painter and educator Josef Albers taught that all color is relative, meaning that the appearance of a color can change based on other colors it is surrounded by. Beginning with Albers' iconic Homage to the Square series, Chromania explores how subsequent generations of artists in the Everson's collection employ color in ways that are subjective and expressive as well as scientific and systematic. From the precise geometry of Peter Pincus' ceramics to the animated gesture of a painting by Jackie Saccoccio, Chromania provides dazzle and inspiration during the long months of winter.

Common Ground Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
To celebrate the new millennium, in the year 2000 artist Neil Tetkowski undertook a Herculean project: gathering clay from all 188 member countries from the United Nations. With these clay samples, Tetkowski created a suitably monumental work that debuted at United Nations headquarters in New York City—the Common Ground World Mandala. Measuring seven feet in diameter and more than nine feet high, Tetkowski's sculpture is a testament to the artist's ability to think beyond boundaries—of scale, of geography, and of politics. "Common Ground" uses Tetkowski's World Mandala as the centerpiece of an exhibition that showcases the Everson's vast collection of world ceramics. From ancient Mesopotamian and Greek pottery to contemporary Zulu beer brewing vessels and a life-size terracotta horse built by Indian priests, the Everson's collection traces the evolution of ceramics across cultures over thousands of years. Because of Syracuse's focus on welcoming immigrants and refugees to the community, there are over 70 languages spoken in city schools. "Common Ground" uses ceramics, one of humankind's oldest art forms, to remind us of our shared bonds with the earth.

Lida Suchy: Portrait of A Village ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
For the past eight years, Ukraine has been represented by images of conflict, war, destruction, and carnage. Lida's images can help viewers to connect to the current situation in Ukraine on a personal level that goes beyond the daily news by putting a human face on the tragic war that is being waged upon the Ukrainian people. As a first-generation American and daughter of Ukrainian refugees, Lida draws on this background as a resource and inspiration for her creative work. She has photographed in the western village of Kryvorivnya, on and off since 1991. Using a slow and sometimes cumbersome 8×10" analog camera, she captured a detailed description of the village, thus creating a composite portrait of this rural community through individual portraits of its members. With the hope of overturning soviet style authoritarianism, villagers actively participated in the Euromaidan Revolution of Dignity in 2014. Today many are still defending Ukraine.

Rob Boston on the Separation of Church and State in American Life Strathmore Speakers Series
Price: Free Online
Join the Strathmore Speaker Series and Onondaga Free Library for an evening with Rob Boston, Senior Adviser at Americans United for Separation of Church and State, and an important discussion of the role the separation of church and state has played, and continues to play, in American life. "The 'wall of separation between church and state' is," American United argues, "an American original — an American invention born in the Enlightenment, but first implemented in the great 'American Experiment.' Until then, no other nation had sought to protect the people's right to think freely by separating religion and government." Mr. Boston will provide a historical overview of this "wall of separation," and highlight the ways in which Americans of all religions, creeds and political persuasions have sought to defend or compromise this uniquely American ideal. A brief Q&A will follow Mr. Boston's talk.

Espejos: Clean Syracuse Stage Melissa Crespo, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
The lives of two women with vastly different life experiences intersect at a destination wedding in Cancún. Adriana has left her home of Chetumal, Mexico, and is working as the manager of the housekeeping staff at a resort. Sarah, from Vancouver, is the sister of the bride and maid of honor and the self-acknowledged family screw up. A chance encounter during a torrential downpour leads each woman to confront her personal storm and to consider the possibility that, though isolated, she may not be as alone as she believes. Change is hard but possible and hope may be closer than it sometimes seems. An engaging and poignant bi-lingual theatrical experience, Espejos: Clean is performed in English and Spanish with supertitles in both languages. By Christine Quintana. (Open Captioned)

Barbecue Syracuse University Drama Department Gilbert McCauley, director
Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
This satirical and wildly funny play by Robert O'Hara introduces the O'Mallery family. Five siblings — four sisters, one brother — all with various addictions, dependencies, and issues, one perhaps more than the others. Is a surprise intervention at a family picnic on behalf of the "troubled" one a good idea? Why does the brother arrive with a taser? Starting with the O'Mallerys themselves, this is a play full of surprises and very good theatrical ideas from the most appropriately inappropriate satirist in American theater today. No one survives untased.

Chromania Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Color is an essential therapy for those cold and gray Central New York winters. The Everson embraces this with Chromania, a riot of kaleidoscopic color guaranteed to chase the winter grays away. In the wake of Impressionism, 20th-century artists developed a range of strategies to explore and employ color. Painter and educator Josef Albers taught that all color is relative, meaning that the appearance of a color can change based on other colors it is surrounded by. Beginning with Albers' iconic Homage to the Square series, Chromania explores how subsequent generations of artists in the Everson's collection employ color in ways that are subjective and expressive as well as scientific and systematic. From the precise geometry of Peter Pincus' ceramics to the animated gesture of a painting by Jackie Saccoccio, Chromania provides dazzle and inspiration during the long months of winter.

Hoop Dreams: Basketball and Contemporary Art Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
A multibillion-dollar global industry that began as a recreational activity more than a century ago, the game of basketball is deeply rooted in our society and culture. Playing or watching the sport invokes intangible ideas and feelings — beauty, excitement, hope, triumph, joy, pain, defeat — experiences that define what it means to be human. Artists have drawn creative inspiration from the personas and culture of the game for decades, and many in recent years have used them as a topic or metaphor to interrogate today's pressing social issues, from dismantling racial stereotypes and traditional gender roles to revealing systemic economic inequities, the effects of global commodification, and more. Featuring paintings, sculpture, photography, video, and installation works created by some of the most significant living artists in the United States, Hoop Dreams demonstrates how tightly intertwined contemporary art and life are with the art of the game.

Common Ground Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
To celebrate the new millennium, in the year 2000 artist Neil Tetkowski undertook a Herculean project: gathering clay from all 188 member countries from the United Nations. With these clay samples, Tetkowski created a suitably monumental work that debuted at United Nations headquarters in New York City—the Common Ground World Mandala. Measuring seven feet in diameter and more than nine feet high, Tetkowski's sculpture is a testament to the artist's ability to think beyond boundaries—of scale, of geography, and of politics. "Common Ground" uses Tetkowski's World Mandala as the centerpiece of an exhibition that showcases the Everson's vast collection of world ceramics. From ancient Mesopotamian and Greek pottery to contemporary Zulu beer brewing vessels and a life-size terracotta horse built by Indian priests, the Everson's collection traces the evolution of ceramics across cultures over thousands of years. Because of Syracuse's focus on welcoming immigrants and refugees to the community, there are over 70 languages spoken in city schools. "Common Ground" uses ceramics, one of humankind's oldest art forms, to remind us of our shared bonds with the earth.

Lida Suchy: Portrait of A Village ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
For the past eight years, Ukraine has been represented by images of conflict, war, destruction, and carnage. Lida's images can help viewers to connect to the current situation in Ukraine on a personal level that goes beyond the daily news by putting a human face on the tragic war that is being waged upon the Ukrainian people. As a first-generation American and daughter of Ukrainian refugees, Lida draws on this background as a resource and inspiration for her creative work. She has photographed in the western village of Kryvorivnya, on and off since 1991. Using a slow and sometimes cumbersome 8×10" analog camera, she captured a detailed description of the village, thus creating a composite portrait of this rural community through individual portraits of its members. With the hope of overturning soviet style authoritarianism, villagers actively participated in the Euromaidan Revolution of Dignity in 2014. Today many are still defending Ukraine.

Sofía Gallisá Muriente: Lluvia con nieve (Rain with Snow) Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
In 1955, Paramount News, "the eyes and ears of the world," projected in movie theaters around the United States images of a plane landing in Puerto Rico carrying two tons of snow and a family from New Hampshire and of the thousands of Puerto Rican youth that received them in a baseball field. These 40 seconds of film are possibly the only surviving audiovisual document of an event that persists as a foggy memory in the conscience of most Puerto Ricans. Rain with Snow is a double projection that tries to visualize the ideological production processes behind these images of political spectacle, zooming in, stretching out, and manipulating the last cinematic vestige of this moment to interrogate the role of images in the formation of national identity. 2014, 13:30 Sofía Gallisá Muriente is a Puerto Rican visual artist whose work resists colonial forces of erasure and claims the freedom of historical agency, proposing mechanisms for remembering and reimagining. Screening begins at dusk.

Ceramic Arts Lecture: Mark Burns Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Ceramist Mark Burns came to prominence in the 1970s by incorporating coded imagery about queer identity into fizzy pop culture confections that are by turns delightful and unsettling. His Rattlesnake Teapot (1973) traveled the United States in the Everson's landmark exhibition, A Century of Ceramics 1878-1978, and was added to the Museum's permanent collection. Don't miss Burns' lecture, which will make you forget about Syracuse's February weather with his patented mix of eye-popping visuals, subversive humor, and incisive commentary.

The lives of two women with vastly different life experiences intersect at a destination wedding in Cancún. Adriana has left her home of Chetumal, Mexico, and is working as the manager of the housekeeping staff at a resort. Sarah, from Vancouver, is the sister of the bride and maid of honor and the self-acknowledged family screw up. A chance encounter during a torrential downpour leads each woman to confront her personal storm and to consider the possibility that, though isolated, she may not be as alone as she believes. Change is hard but possible and hope may be closer than it sometimes seems. An engaging and poignant bi-lingual theatrical experience, Espejos: Clean is performed in English and Spanish with supertitles in both languages. By Christine Quintana.

This satirical and wildly funny play by Robert O'Hara introduces the O'Mallery family. Five siblings — four sisters, one brother — all with various addictions, dependencies, and issues, one perhaps more than the others. Is a surprise intervention at a family picnic on behalf of the "troubled" one a good idea? Why does the brother arrive with a taser? Starting with the O'Mallerys themselves, this is a play full of surprises and very good theatrical ideas from the most appropriately inappropriate satirist in American theater today. No one survives untased.

Everson Museum of Art

Color is an essential therapy for those cold and gray Central New York winters. The Everson embraces this with Chromania, a riot of kaleidoscopic color guaranteed to chase the winter grays away. In the wake of Impressionism, 20th-century artists developed a range of strategies to explore and employ color. Painter and educator Josef Albers taught that all color is relative, meaning that the appearance of a color can change based on other colors it is surrounded by. Beginning with Albers' iconic Homage to the Square series, Chromania explores how subsequent generations of artists in the Everson's collection employ color in ways that are subjective and expressive as well as scientific and systematic. From the precise geometry of Peter Pincus' ceramics to the animated gesture of a painting by Jackie Saccoccio, Chromania provides dazzle and inspiration during the long months of winter.

*SOLD OUT* By the Way, Meet Vera Stark Redhouse
Redhouse at City Center
400 S. Salina St.,

By The Way, Meet Vera Stark takes us to the Golden Age of Hollywood and shines the spotlight on aspiring starlet Vera Stark who works as a maid to Gloria Mitchell, an aging star grasping at her fading career. Worlds collide when Vera lands a trailblazing role ... in a movie starring her boss. Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage's fast-paced, spritely, sly satire is a journey through Vera's 70-year life and a sharp take on race and culture — both in the past and today. The story behind the cameras leaves Vera with a surprising and controversial legacy historians and scholars will debate for years to come. This "sharp-toothed comedy" (The Wall Street Journal) is both hilarious and poignant and a must-see for our audiences.

Beginning with Albers' iconic Homage to the Square series, Chromania explores how subsequent generations of artists in the Everson's collection employ color in ways that are subjective and expressive as well as scientific and systematic. From the precise geometry of Peter Pincus' ceramics to the animated gesture of a painting by Jackie Saccoccio, Chromania provides dazzle and inspiration during the long months of winter.

50th Anniversary: Selections from Light Work Collection Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Remarkable in its breadth and depth, Light Work's 50th Anniversary exhibition is a thoughtful composition of photographic works that have come into Light Work's permanent collection over the past 50 years through the generosity of former artist-in-residence participants, Grant Awardees, and individual donations. The works on view are a reflective curation from over 4,000 objects and photographic prints from an extensive and diverse archive that maps the trends and developments in contemporary photography. The semi-centennial presents a unique opportunity to share the legacy of support the organization has extended to emerging and under-represented artists working in photography and digital image-making. Highlights in the show include early works from acclaimed photographers Dawoud Bey, Carrie Mae Weems, James Welling, and more.

Hoop Dreams: Basketball and Contemporary Art Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
A multibillion-dollar global industry that began as a recreational activity more than a century ago, the game of basketball is deeply rooted in our society and culture. Playing or watching the sport invokes intangible ideas and feelings — beauty, excitement, hope, triumph, joy, pain, defeat — experiences that define what it means to be human. Artists have drawn creative inspiration from the personas and culture of the game for decades, and many in recent years have used them as a topic or metaphor to interrogate today's pressing social issues, from dismantling racial stereotypes and traditional gender roles to revealing systemic economic inequities, the effects of global commodification, and more. Featuring paintings, sculpture, photography, video, and installation works created by some of the most significant living artists in the United States, Hoop Dreams demonstrates how tightly intertwined contemporary art and life are with the art of the game.

Lida Suchy: Portrait of A Village ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
For the past eight years, Ukraine has been represented by images of conflict, war, destruction, and carnage. Lida's images can help viewers to connect to the current situation in Ukraine on a personal level that goes beyond the daily news by putting a human face on the tragic war that is being waged upon the Ukrainian people. As a first-generation American and daughter of Ukrainian refugees, Lida draws on this background as a resource and inspiration for her creative work. She has photographed in the western village of Kryvorivnya, on and off since 1991. Using a slow and sometimes cumbersome 8×10" analog camera, she captured a detailed description of the village, thus creating a composite portrait of this rural community through individual portraits of its members. With the hope of overturning soviet style authoritarianism, villagers actively participated in the Euromaidan Revolution of Dignity in 2014. Today many are still defending Ukraine.

Sofía Gallisá Muriente: Lluvia con nieve (Rain with Snow) Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
In 1955, Paramount News, "the eyes and ears of the world," projected in movie theaters around the United States images of a plane landing in Puerto Rico carrying two tons of snow and a family from New Hampshire and of the thousands of Puerto Rican youth that received them in a baseball field. These 40 seconds of film are possibly the only surviving audiovisual document of an event that persists as a foggy memory in the conscience of most Puerto Ricans. Rain with Snow is a double projection that tries to visualize the ideological production processes behind these images of political spectacle, zooming in, stretching out, and manipulating the last cinematic vestige of this moment to interrogate the role of images in the formation of national identity. 2014, 13:30 Sofía Gallisá Muriente is a Puerto Rican visual artist whose work resists colonial forces of erasure and claims the freedom of historical agency, proposing mechanisms for remembering and reimagining. Screening begins at dusk.

By the Way, Meet Vera Stark Redhouse
Redhouse at City Center
400 S. Salina St.,
Syracuse
By The Way, Meet Vera Stark takes us to the Golden Age of Hollywood and shines the spotlight on aspiring starlet Vera Stark who works as a maid to Gloria Mitchell, an aging star grasping at her fading career. Worlds collide when Vera lands a trailblazing role ... in a movie starring her boss. Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage's fast-paced, spritely, sly satire is a journey through Vera's 70-year life and a sharp take on race and culture — both in the past and today. The story behind the cameras leaves Vera with a surprising and controversial legacy historians and scholars will debate for years to come. This "sharp-toothed comedy" (The Wall Street Journal) is both hilarious and poignant and a must-see for our audiences.

The lives of two women with vastly different life experiences intersect at a destination wedding in Cancún. Adriana has left her home of Chetumal, Mexico, and is working as the manager of the housekeeping staff at a resort. Sarah, from Vancouver, is the sister of the bride and maid of honor and the self-acknowledged family screw up. A chance encounter during a torrential downpour leads each woman to confront her personal storm and to consider the possibility that, though isolated, she may not be as alone as she believes. Change is hard but possible and hope may be closer than it sometimes seems. An engaging and poignant bi-lingual theatrical experience, Espejos: Clean is performed in English and Spanish with supertitles in both languages. By Christine Quintana. (ASL Interpreted)

This satirical and wildly funny play by Robert O'Hara introduces the O'Mallery family. Five siblings — four sisters, one brother — all with various addictions, dependencies, and issues, one perhaps more than the others. Is a surprise intervention at a family picnic on behalf of the "troubled" one a good idea? Why does the brother arrive with a taser? Starting with the O'Mallerys themselves, this is a play full of surprises and very good theatrical ideas from the most appropriately inappropriate satirist in American theater today. No one survives untased.

Common Ground Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
To celebrate the new millennium, in the year 2000 artist Neil Tetkowski undertook a Herculean project: gathering clay from all 188 member countries from the United Nations. With these clay samples, Tetkowski created a suitably monumental work that debuted at United Nations headquarters in New York City—the Common Ground World Mandala. Measuring seven feet in diameter and more than nine feet high, Tetkowski's sculpture is a testament to the artist's ability to think beyond boundaries—of scale, of geography, and of politics. "Common Ground" uses Tetkowski's World Mandala as the centerpiece of an exhibition that showcases the Everson's vast collection of world ceramics. From ancient Mesopotamian and Greek pottery to contemporary Zulu beer brewing vessels and a life-size terracotta horse built by Indian priests, the Everson's collection traces the evolution of ceramics across cultures over thousands of years. Because of Syracuse's focus on welcoming immigrants and refugees to the community, there are over 70 languages spoken in city schools. "Common Ground" uses ceramics, one of humankind's oldest art forms, to remind us of our shared bonds with the earth.

Color is an essential therapy for those cold and gray Central New York winters. The Everson embraces this with Chromania, a riot of kaleidoscopic color guaranteed to chase the winter grays away. In the wake of Impressionism, 20th-century artists developed a range of strategies to explore and employ color. Painter and educator Josef Albers taught that all color is relative, meaning that the appearance of a color can change based on other colors it is surrounded by. Beginning with Albers' iconic Homage to the Square series, Chromania explores how subsequent generations of artists in the Everson's collection employ color in ways that are subjective and expressive as well as scientific and systematic.

By the Way, Meet Vera Stark Redhouse
Redhouse at City Center
400 S. Salina St.,
Syracuse
By The Way, Meet Vera Stark takes us to the Golden Age of Hollywood and shines the spotlight on aspiring starlet Vera Stark who works as a maid to Gloria Mitchell, an aging star grasping at her fading career. Worlds collide when Vera lands a trailblazing role ... in a movie starring her boss. Two-time Pulitzer Prize-winner Lynn Nottage's fast-paced, spritely, sly satire is a journey through Vera's 70-year life and a sharp take on race and culture — both in the past and today. The story behind the cameras leaves Vera with a surprising and controversial legacy historians and scholars will debate for years to come. This "sharp-toothed comedy" (The Wall Street Journal) is both hilarious and poignant and a must-see for our audiences.

Espejos: Clean Syracuse Stage Melissa Crespo, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
The lives of two women with vastly different life experiences intersect at a destination wedding in Cancún. Adriana has left her home of Chetumal, Mexico, and is working as the manager of the housekeeping staff at a resort. Sarah, from Vancouver, is the sister of the bride and maid of honor and the self-acknowledged family screw up. A chance encounter during a torrential downpour leads each woman to confront her personal storm and to consider the possibility that, though isolated, she may not be as alone as she believes. Change is hard but possible and hope may be closer than it sometimes seems. An engaging and poignant bi-lingual theatrical experience, Espejos: Clean is performed in English and Spanish with supertitles in both languages. By Christine Quintana.

Barbecue Syracuse University Drama Department Gilbert McCauley, director
Storch Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
This satirical and wildly funny play by Robert O'Hara introduces the O'Mallery family. Five siblings — four sisters, one brother — all with various addictions, dependencies, and issues, one perhaps more than the others. Is a surprise intervention at a family picnic on behalf of the "troubled" one a good idea? Why does the brother arrive with a taser? Starting with the O'Mallerys themselves, this is a play full of surprises and very good theatrical ideas from the most appropriately inappropriate satirist in American theater today. No one survives untased.

Chromania Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Color is an essential therapy for those cold and gray Central New York winters. The Everson embraces this with Chromania, a riot of kaleidoscopic color guaranteed to chase the winter grays away. In the wake of Impressionism, 20th-century artists developed a range of strategies to explore and employ color. Painter and educator Josef Albers taught that all color is relative, meaning that the appearance of a color can change based on other colors it is surrounded by. Beginning with Albers' iconic Homage to the Square series, Chromania explores how subsequent generations of artists in the Everson's collection employ color in ways that are subjective and expressive as well as scientific and systematic. From the precise geometry of Peter Pincus' ceramics to the animated gesture of a painting by Jackie Saccoccio, Chromania provides dazzle and inspiration during the long months of winter.

50th Anniversary: Selections from Light Work Collection Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Remarkable in its breadth and depth, Light Work's 50th Anniversary exhibition is a thoughtful composition of photographic works that have come into Light Work's permanent collection over the past 50 years through the generosity of former artist-in-residence participants, Grant Awardees, and individual donations. The works on view are a reflective curation from over 4,000 objects and photographic prints from an extensive and diverse archive that maps the trends and developments in contemporary photography. The semi-centennial presents a unique opportunity to share the legacy of support the organization has extended to emerging and under-represented artists working in photography and digital image-making. Highlights in the show include early works from acclaimed photographers Dawoud Bey, Carrie Mae Weems, James Welling, and more.

Hoop Dreams: Basketball and Contemporary Art Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
A multibillion-dollar global industry that began as a recreational activity more than a century ago, the game of basketball is deeply rooted in our society and culture. Playing or watching the sport invokes intangible ideas and feelings — beauty, excitement, hope, triumph, joy, pain, defeat — experiences that define what it means to be human. Artists have drawn creative inspiration from the personas and culture of the game for decades, and many in recent years have used them as a topic or metaphor to interrogate today's pressing social issues, from dismantling racial stereotypes and traditional gender roles to revealing systemic economic inequities, the effects of global commodification, and more. Featuring paintings, sculpture, photography, video, and installation works created by some of the most significant living artists in the United States, Hoop Dreams demonstrates how tightly intertwined contemporary art and life are with the art of the game.

Common Ground Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
To celebrate the new millennium, in the year 2000 artist Neil Tetkowski undertook a Herculean project: gathering clay from all 188 member countries from the United Nations. With these clay samples, Tetkowski created a suitably monumental work that debuted at United Nations headquarters in New York City—the Common Ground World Mandala. Measuring seven feet in diameter and more than nine feet high, Tetkowski's sculpture is a testament to the artist's ability to think beyond boundaries—of scale, of geography, and of politics. "Common Ground" uses Tetkowski's World Mandala as the centerpiece of an exhibition that showcases the Everson's vast collection of world ceramics. From ancient Mesopotamian and Greek pottery to contemporary Zulu beer brewing vessels and a life-size terracotta horse built by Indian priests, the Everson's collection traces the evolution of ceramics across cultures over thousands of years. Because of Syracuse's focus on welcoming immigrants and refugees to the community, there are over 70 languages spoken in city schools. "Common Ground" uses ceramics, one of humankind's oldest art forms, to remind us of our shared bonds with the earth.

Lida Suchy: Portrait of A Village ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
For the past eight years, Ukraine has been represented by images of conflict, war, destruction, and carnage. Lida's images can help viewers to connect to the current situation in Ukraine on a personal level that goes beyond the daily news by putting a human face on the tragic war that is being waged upon the Ukrainian people. As a first-generation American and daughter of Ukrainian refugees, Lida draws on this background as a resource and inspiration for her creative work. She has photographed in the western village of Kryvorivnya, on and off since 1991. Using a slow and sometimes cumbersome 8×10" analog camera, she captured a detailed description of the village, thus creating a composite portrait of this rural community through individual portraits of its members. With the hope of overturning soviet style authoritarianism, villagers actively participated in the Euromaidan Revolution of Dignity in 2014. Today many are still defending Ukraine.
