In Da Window 4: Paper installation by Theresa Barry
Echo

745 N. Salina St. (formerly Craft Chemistry)
Syracuse

Theresa will be installing a paper sculpture in the Echo Studio windows that is meant to celebrate the coming of spring with color and whimsy. For Theresa, one of the biggest pleasures of the end of winter is shedding all the dark, heavy clothing we wear for so many months to keep warm. In March, we begin looking forward to lighter days, lighter clothing, and colorful things popping up out of the ground.

Two of her favorite things are store display windows and working with paper three dimensionally, and she loves that she is able to combine these things for this project. The sculpture will start in one window as a dress form and will visually continue in the second window, taking on a more abstract shape. Think: Pure fantasy, pure color, pure fun.

Theresa was inspired by the work of Bea Svenfeld, Jen Stark, Roxy Paine, and the late Alexander McQueen.

Artist Statement:
These recent works are part of an ongoing series, which often features an "Everyman" character, who exists in invented painterly terrains. It is an alternate dream-like world that mirrors back to us the difficulties of daily existence and unspoken longings. And, although I've chosen to depict a particular model, there is an element of autobiography in many of the paintings.

Recurring themes emerge; work, isolation, stress, searching, anticipation, and caring, and I believe many people in our times can identify with them. The paintings are idiosyncratic and I attempt to execute them with empathy towards the human condition.

Through imagination, playful creation of abstracted spaces, and color composition, I attempt to show an inner world that is mysterious, somehow noble, and non-linear--as dreams and life often are.

The Archive in Motion
Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center

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

This exhibition explores the concept of movement through the materials held by SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center. Organized around a set of interlinked themes—color, combat, magic, transportation, dance, drawing, athletics, and gravity—the exhibition encompasses rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and original artworks spanning the 15th and 20th centuries. Inspired by the eccentric library of the art historian Aby Warburg and informed by the theoretical discourse on the archive formulated by Walter Benjamin, Jorge Luis Borges, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault, this exhibition highlights the unique character of the collections at Syracuse. From Albert Einstein's original handwritten research paper "On Rotationally Symmetric Stationary Gravitational Fields," through stunning photographs of ballet dancers Paul Draper and George Skibine, to pochoir prints hand-painted by Native Americans, this exhibition not only attends to the representation of movement found in the collections, but it suggests that the archive is itself always in motion.

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Michael Buhler-Rose's practices on multiple platforms influence his production as an artist. He has described his subjects as "theatrical cultural realities" and "feats of representation through place and displacement." Bühler-Rose uses western painting styles: still lifes, landscapes, portraits, to play with previous political notions of Hindu and Indic aesthetics: representations of gods and goddesses, incense, flowers, or the saris or bharatnaytam outfits worn by young women of European descent who live in a Hindu community in Florida. These pictures create a dialogue between the Orient and the Occident, creating a game of mirrors and reflections that interact endlessly, creating a juxtaposition of territories.

Light Work and Community Darkrooms are pleased to present Dan Wetmore's exhibition Golden Dawn, a series of pictures made from 2009-2012, in and between Flint, MI, Binghamton, NY, Cleveland, OH, Wheeling, WV, and Pittsburgh, PA.

Artist statement: I grew up in Pittsburgh. My parents enjoyed driving around and hunting for furniture on the weekends and I got to see much of the city this way. I was taken by the furnaces and mills that lined the rivers--these giant, dark carcasses. At home, the only photo book my parents had was a paperback of Becher typologies and I looked at the blast furnaces and mineheads for hours. Once mobile at sixteen, I explored these places intimately. With a developing fondness and understanding, I began to photograph in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Cuba 2014
Redhouse

Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St., Syracuse

Redhouse is proud to have Julieve Jubin's inspirational and touching photography entitled "Cuba 2014" on exhibit.

Julieve Jubin received her MFA from Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester. She is a photo-based artist working with digital and experimental approaches to the image. She has exhibited her work in the US, Canada, and Europe and is the recipient of several awards and artist residencies. Her work is in the collection of the New York University Law School, Fototeca Cuba, and several private collections. She has taught at The Cooper Union School of Art, the International Center of Photography, Purdue University, and is currently an Associate Professor of Art at SUNY Oswego. She resides in New York City and Oswego.

Artist Statement:
Within the last few years, I've traveled to Cuba to photograph, as well as teach my course, Travel Photography: Cuba. During my first research trip in 2011, I immediately recognized that Cuba was different than any other place I had been. Certainly, I expected to see the old American cars, Spanish colonial architecture, and propaganda. What I didn't expect was the richly textured character of the street life. ... Within the last few years, largely due to the economic reforms and loosening of restrictions, streets and neighborhoods are transforming as new small businesses develop and homes are being restored. Fortunately, this shifting landscape hasn't yet altered the daily rituals and spirited atmosphere of the street life I've been so privileged to know. But it's clear Cuba is moving away from the time capsule it once inhabited towards a new, yet undetermined future.

The gallery is open by appointment by phoning 315-425-0405.

Abisay Puentes: Mist/Brumas
La Casita Cultural Center

Price: Free
La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St., Syracuse

Abisay Puentes reflects on universal problems of our human existence. Using characters like an old Adam and an old Eve, the artist seeks to develop his own myth. Developing a malleable parable, Puentes tries to tell his own story. As a primary element, he invents the existence of his characters in a theatrical ambiance, in an act of illusion, in the mist, the "brumas", that hides a more profound truth, concealed by his actors. The apple is but an escape. For Adam and Eve, there is nothing more important than themselves. Selfishness is a disease of our humanity. A world without selfishness would be the closest thing to the ideal of Paradise. "A world without selfishness," says Abisay Puentes, "would change the color of my paintings."

International Art from the Permanent Collection
Syracuse University Art Museum

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

Highlighting the breadth of the collections' encyclopedic holdings and exploring international artists and themes, these new displays explore the genres of photography, prints, paintings and sculpture. Two of the exhibitions on display in the Print and Photo Study Galleries will highlight the University's vast holdings of historical Japanese photographs and prints. The third exhibition will examine artwork created by international artists who have immigrated to the United States.

America's Calling, presented in the Gallery of American Art, is an exhibition of 16 works of art by 15 foreign-born artists, including Ben Shahn, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Josef Albers. The artists included in the exhibition, or their families, were drawn to the United States because it offered opportunities unavailable in their homelands. A variety of media is presented in the display, including painting, ceramics, sculpture and printmaking that are handled using often innovative techniques. Cumulatively, these artists had a profound and permanent effect on the evolution of American art.

The Photo Study Room will present Visions for Sale: Photographs of Nineteenth Century Japan, an exhibition of 22 hand-colored albumen prints from the 19th century exploring the country's people, land and environment that was quickly changing due to modernization. European photographers such as Felice Beato and Baron Raimond Stillfield traveled to Japan to document the nation's exotic landscape and historically idiosyncratic jobs before they were swept away by the tide of modernism.

Ukiyo-e to Shin Hanga: Japanese Woodcuts from the Syracuse University Art Collection will be installed in the Print Study Room and draws from the University's collection of over 300 examples from this important and hugely influential art movement. The prints on view date from the height of color Ukiyo-e printmaking (c1780-1868) through Japan's Meiji period (1868-1912) to 20th century impressions of the Shin Hanga movement (1915-1940s). Masters of this medium are represented, including the work of Utamaro, Kuniyoshi, Hokusai, Hiroshida, Tsuchiya Koitsu and Yoshida Hiroshi. The prints exemplify the soft, painterly style that is synonymous with the Japanese woodcut, and illustrates the wide range of subjects from courtesans to Kabuki theater and the Japanese landscape.

University Lectures
Featuring Anna Deavere Smith

Price: Free
Hendricks Chapel
Syracuse University, Syracuse

Playwright, actor and professor Anna Deavere Smith uses her singular brand of theatre to explore issues of community, character and diversity in America. Newsweek declared her "the most exciting individual in American theatre."

Smith is perhaps best known as the author and performer of one-woman, multi-character plays that deal with social issues in America. The prestigious MacArthur Foundation awarded Smith the "Genius" Fellowship for creating "a new form of theatre—a blend of theatrical art, social commentary, journalism and intimate reverie." In 2012, Smith won the Dorothy and Lillian Gish Prize, one of the largest and most prestigious awards in the arts, which recognizes trailblazers who have redefined their art and pushed the boundaries of excellence in their field.

Her play, Fires in the Mirror, about the 1991 Crown Heights riot, was a runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize and took home Obie and Drama Desk Awards. Her work Twilight: Los Angeles 1992 won Drama Desk, Theater World and Obie Awards and received two Tony Award nominations.

Smith's most recent play, Let Me Down Easy, explores the resilience and vulnerability of the human body. It opened off-Broadway in 2009 and was broadcast on PBS' Great Performances in 2012. Interviewing subjects from all walks of life, Smith recreates their words in her performances, transforming herself into an astonishing number of characters.

In 1997, Smith founded the Institute on the Arts and Civic Dialogue at Harvard University, which is now known as Anna Deavere Smith Works. ADS Works unites artists and performers and "cultivates artistic excellence that embraces the social issues of the day." Her latest book is Letters to a Young Artist: Straight-up Advice on Making a Life in the Arts (Knopf Doubleday, 2006)

A tenured professor at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts teaching performance studies, Smith is also affiliated with the NYU School of Law. She won a 2006 Fletcher Foundation Fellowship in recognition of her contribution to advancing civil rights. Her professional accolades also include a Matrix Award from the New York Women in Communications, a Fellow Award in Theatre Arts for the United States Artists, and the United Solo Theatre Festival's inaugural uAward for outstanding solo performance.

Smith appears as Gloria Akalitus on the Showtime series "Nurse Jackie." Her television credits also include "The West Wing" and "All My Children." She has appeared in films including "Rachel Getting Married," "Philadelphia" and "The American President."

Currently the artist-in-residence at the Center for American Progress, Smith is researching and writing a new play called The Americans.

In Da Window 4: Paper installation by Theresa Barry
Echo

745 N. Salina St. (formerly Craft Chemistry)
Syracuse

Theresa will be installing a paper sculpture in the Echo Studio windows that is meant to celebrate the coming of spring with color and whimsy. For Theresa, one of the biggest pleasures of the end of winter is shedding all the dark, heavy clothing we wear for so many months to keep warm. In March, we begin looking forward to lighter days, lighter clothing, and colorful things popping up out of the ground.

Two of her favorite things are store display windows and working with paper three dimensionally, and she loves that she is able to combine these things for this project. The sculpture will start in one window as a dress form and will visually continue in the second window, taking on a more abstract shape. Think: Pure fantasy, pure color, pure fun.

Theresa was inspired by the work of Bea Svenfeld, Jen Stark, Roxy Paine, and the late Alexander McQueen.

Artist Statement:
These recent works are part of an ongoing series, which often features an "Everyman" character, who exists in invented painterly terrains. It is an alternate dream-like world that mirrors back to us the difficulties of daily existence and unspoken longings. And, although I've chosen to depict a particular model, there is an element of autobiography in many of the paintings.

Recurring themes emerge; work, isolation, stress, searching, anticipation, and caring, and I believe many people in our times can identify with them. The paintings are idiosyncratic and I attempt to execute them with empathy towards the human condition.

Through imagination, playful creation of abstracted spaces, and color composition, I attempt to show an inner world that is mysterious, somehow noble, and non-linear--as dreams and life often are.

The Archive in Motion
Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center

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

This exhibition explores the concept of movement through the materials held by SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center. Organized around a set of interlinked themes—color, combat, magic, transportation, dance, drawing, athletics, and gravity—the exhibition encompasses rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and original artworks spanning the 15th and 20th centuries. Inspired by the eccentric library of the art historian Aby Warburg and informed by the theoretical discourse on the archive formulated by Walter Benjamin, Jorge Luis Borges, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault, this exhibition highlights the unique character of the collections at Syracuse. From Albert Einstein's original handwritten research paper "On Rotationally Symmetric Stationary Gravitational Fields," through stunning photographs of ballet dancers Paul Draper and George Skibine, to pochoir prints hand-painted by Native Americans, this exhibition not only attends to the representation of movement found in the collections, but it suggests that the archive is itself always in motion.

Light Work and Community Darkrooms are pleased to present Dan Wetmore's exhibition Golden Dawn, a series of pictures made from 2009-2012, in and between Flint, MI, Binghamton, NY, Cleveland, OH, Wheeling, WV, and Pittsburgh, PA.

Artist statement: I grew up in Pittsburgh. My parents enjoyed driving around and hunting for furniture on the weekends and I got to see much of the city this way. I was taken by the furnaces and mills that lined the rivers--these giant, dark carcasses. At home, the only photo book my parents had was a paperback of Becher typologies and I looked at the blast furnaces and mineheads for hours. Once mobile at sixteen, I explored these places intimately. With a developing fondness and understanding, I began to photograph in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Michael Bühler-Rose: New Geographics
Light Work Gallery

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Michael Buhler-Rose's practices on multiple platforms influence his production as an artist. He has described his subjects as "theatrical cultural realities" and "feats of representation through place and displacement." Bühler-Rose uses western painting styles: still lifes, landscapes, portraits, to play with previous political notions of Hindu and Indic aesthetics: representations of gods and goddesses, incense, flowers, or the saris or bharatnaytam outfits worn by young women of European descent who live in a Hindu community in Florida. These pictures create a dialogue between the Orient and the Occident, creating a game of mirrors and reflections that interact endlessly, creating a juxtaposition of territories.

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

Cuba 2014
Redhouse

Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St., Syracuse

Redhouse is proud to have Julieve Jubin's inspirational and touching photography entitled "Cuba 2014" on exhibit.

Julieve Jubin received her MFA from Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester. She is a photo-based artist working with digital and experimental approaches to the image. She has exhibited her work in the US, Canada, and Europe and is the recipient of several awards and artist residencies. Her work is in the collection of the New York University Law School, Fototeca Cuba, and several private collections. She has taught at The Cooper Union School of Art, the International Center of Photography, Purdue University, and is currently an Associate Professor of Art at SUNY Oswego. She resides in New York City and Oswego.

Artist Statement:
Within the last few years, I've traveled to Cuba to photograph, as well as teach my course, Travel Photography: Cuba. During my first research trip in 2011, I immediately recognized that Cuba was different than any other place I had been. Certainly, I expected to see the old American cars, Spanish colonial architecture, and propaganda. What I didn't expect was the richly textured character of the street life. ... Within the last few years, largely due to the economic reforms and loosening of restrictions, streets and neighborhoods are transforming as new small businesses develop and homes are being restored. Fortunately, this shifting landscape hasn't yet altered the daily rituals and spirited atmosphere of the street life I've been so privileged to know. But it's clear Cuba is moving away from the time capsule it once inhabited towards a new, yet undetermined future.

International Art from the Permanent Collection
Syracuse University Art Museum

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

Highlighting the breadth of the collections' encyclopedic holdings and exploring international artists and themes, these new displays explore the genres of photography, prints, paintings and sculpture. Two of the exhibitions on display in the Print and Photo Study Galleries will highlight the University's vast holdings of historical Japanese photographs and prints. The third exhibition will examine artwork created by international artists who have immigrated to the United States.

America's Calling, presented in the Gallery of American Art, is an exhibition of 16 works of art by 15 foreign-born artists, including Ben Shahn, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Josef Albers. The artists included in the exhibition, or their families, were drawn to the United States because it offered opportunities unavailable in their homelands. A variety of media is presented in the display, including painting, ceramics, sculpture and printmaking that are handled using often innovative techniques. Cumulatively, these artists had a profound and permanent effect on the evolution of American art.

The Photo Study Room will present Visions for Sale: Photographs of Nineteenth Century Japan, an exhibition of 22 hand-colored albumen prints from the 19th century exploring the country's people, land and environment that was quickly changing due to modernization. European photographers such as Felice Beato and Baron Raimond Stillfield traveled to Japan to document the nation's exotic landscape and historically idiosyncratic jobs before they were swept away by the tide of modernism.

Ukiyo-e to Shin Hanga: Japanese Woodcuts from the Syracuse University Art Collection will be installed in the Print Study Room and draws from the University's collection of over 300 examples from this important and hugely influential art movement. The prints on view date from the height of color Ukiyo-e printmaking (c1780-1868) through Japan's Meiji period (1868-1912) to 20th century impressions of the Shin Hanga movement (1915-1940s). Masters of this medium are represented, including the work of Utamaro, Kuniyoshi, Hokusai, Hiroshida, Tsuchiya Koitsu and Yoshida Hiroshi. The prints exemplify the soft, painterly style that is synonymous with the Japanese woodcut, and illustrates the wide range of subjects from courtesans to Kabuki theater and the Japanese landscape.

Abisay Puentes: Mist/Brumas
La Casita Cultural Center

Price: Free
La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St., Syracuse

Abisay Puentes reflects on universal problems of our human existence. Using characters like an old Adam and an old Eve, the artist seeks to develop his own myth. Developing a malleable parable, Puentes tries to tell his own story. As a primary element, he invents the existence of his characters in a theatrical ambiance, in an act of illusion, in the mist, the "brumas", that hides a more profound truth, concealed by his actors. The apple is but an escape. For Adam and Eve, there is nothing more important than themselves. Selfishness is a disease of our humanity. A world without selfishness would be the closest thing to the ideal of Paradise. "A world without selfishness," says Abisay Puentes, "would change the color of my paintings."

Philippe Halsman's Hollywood
Syracuse University School of Art and Design

Genet Design Gallery
The Warehouse, 350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

This exhibition of work by noted photographer Philippe Halsman includes 30 portraits of actors and actresses that are on loan from SUArt Galleries.

Born in Riga, Latvia, Halsman (1906-1979) had a prolific career in photography that spanned five decades. A celebrated portraitist, camera designer and father of "jumpology"--the art of photographing subjects mid-jump--Halsman produced images of prominent fashion trends and individuals of his time, including Audrey Hepburn, Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill. His works were featured in articles and as cover art for such magazines as the Saturday Evening Post, Look and Newsweek. While he made numerous contributions to several magazines throughout his career, Halsman's record 101 Life magazine covers is one of his most notable achievements.

The exhibition is a joint project of the graduate students enrolled in the "Museum Preparation and Installation" and "Museum Graphics and Communications" courses in the museum studies program in VPA's Department of Design, under the guidance of faculty members Andrew Saluti and Carlota Deseda-Coon.

Getting To Know You: Artists Examine Authentic Connections in the Digital Age
601 Tully

601 Tully St.
Syracuse

Featuring work by Fanny Allié, American Bear, CampusNeighbor, and damali abrams.

In the digital age, people can virtually live their lives online. With the advent of various social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, it is easier than ever to connect. However, are these relationships genuine? Furthermore, does a social medium foster intimacy or aid in the superficiality of our society? For this exhibition, 601 Tully does not seek to resolve these questions but rather, bring them to light. The featured artists offer avenues for people to have authentic connections with one another through various interactive mediums with and without the assistance of the internet.

New York-based artist, Fanny Allié, invited Syracuse residents to submit photos, memories, and stories about their lives in an attempt to learn more about the community. With each memento, Allié will construct a site-specific installation that will give the audience a window into the individuals living in this area.

While Allié's installation exemplifies the direct interaction between herself and the participant, the collaborative team of American Bear created prompts and assignments for the public to engage with one another. As the assignments are completed, American Bear hopes to foster a more compassionate and community-minded city.

Like many college towns, there is and has always been an underlying fissure between Syracuse University students and the permanent residents. In recent years, Nancy Cantor, former Syracuse University Chancellor, has worked to mend that divide by creating the initiative, Scholarship in Action. CampusNeighbor is a bartering website that builds on that idea by linking these two groups together through skill-sharing, with the hopes that these exchanges will help to dismantle barriers that have been created through the years.

Although all of the above require participation in order to activate the piece, damali abrams, a performance-based artist, takes a different approach by reading from her diary. By exposing herself in this vulnerable manner, it elicits the viewer to relate to her through shared experiences.

Whether one is simply telling their story to Allié or participating in CampusNeighbor, the exhibition aims to get to know you.

Normal: How the Nazis Normalized the Unspeakable
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

Dan Lenchner's collection of photos of Third Reich life makes the power of the "uncanny" visible. They are both strange and somehow familiar, these snapshots: Nazi officers at family picnics, weddings and christenings, relaxing off-duty and courting their sweethearts, along with mischievous boys at Hitler Youth summer camps, smiling nurses, teenage girls practicing their goose-step, nuns posing with former students in uniform. Here are the threads in the fabric of a nation given over to war, close to 70 years ago. Still we struggle with what to make of their deeds, which lie so outside the frame. Lenchner, a photographer himself, is acutely attuned to this quality about the truth of any image. His book quotes Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem, that the "trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him...terribly and terrifyingly normal."

In Da Window 4: Paper installation by Theresa Barry
Echo

745 N. Salina St. (formerly Craft Chemistry)
Syracuse

Theresa will be installing a paper sculpture in the Echo Studio windows that is meant to celebrate the coming of spring with color and whimsy. For Theresa, one of the biggest pleasures of the end of winter is shedding all the dark, heavy clothing we wear for so many months to keep warm. In March, we begin looking forward to lighter days, lighter clothing, and colorful things popping up out of the ground.

Two of her favorite things are store display windows and working with paper three dimensionally, and she loves that she is able to combine these things for this project. The sculpture will start in one window as a dress form and will visually continue in the second window, taking on a more abstract shape. Think: Pure fantasy, pure color, pure fun.

Theresa was inspired by the work of Bea Svenfeld, Jen Stark, Roxy Paine, and the late Alexander McQueen.

Artist Statement:
These recent works are part of an ongoing series, which often features an "Everyman" character, who exists in invented painterly terrains. It is an alternate dream-like world that mirrors back to us the difficulties of daily existence and unspoken longings. And, although I've chosen to depict a particular model, there is an element of autobiography in many of the paintings.

Recurring themes emerge; work, isolation, stress, searching, anticipation, and caring, and I believe many people in our times can identify with them. The paintings are idiosyncratic and I attempt to execute them with empathy towards the human condition.

Through imagination, playful creation of abstracted spaces, and color composition, I attempt to show an inner world that is mysterious, somehow noble, and non-linear--as dreams and life often are.

International Art from the Permanent Collection
Syracuse University Art Museum

Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University, Syracuse

Highlighting the breadth of the collections' encyclopedic holdings and exploring international artists and themes, these new displays explore the genres of photography, prints, paintings and sculpture. Two of the exhibitions on display in the Print and Photo Study Galleries will highlight the University's vast holdings of historical Japanese photographs and prints. The third exhibition will examine artwork created by international artists who have immigrated to the United States.

America's Calling, presented in the Gallery of American Art, is an exhibition of 16 works of art by 15 foreign-born artists, including Ben Shahn, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Josef Albers. The artists included in the exhibition, or their families, were drawn to the United States because it offered opportunities unavailable in their homelands. A variety of media is presented in the display, including painting, ceramics, sculpture and printmaking that are handled using often innovative techniques. Cumulatively, these artists had a profound and permanent effect on the evolution of American art.

The Photo Study Room will present Visions for Sale: Photographs of Nineteenth Century Japan, an exhibition of 22 hand-colored albumen prints from the 19th century exploring the country's people, land and environment that was quickly changing due to modernization. European photographers such as Felice Beato and Baron Raimond Stillfield traveled to Japan to document the nation's exotic landscape and historically idiosyncratic jobs before they were swept away by the tide of modernism.

Ukiyo-e to Shin Hanga: Japanese Woodcuts from the Syracuse University Art Collection will be installed in the Print Study Room and draws from the University's collection of over 300 examples from this important and hugely influential art movement. The prints on view date from the height of color Ukiyo-e printmaking (c1780-1868) through Japan's Meiji period (1868-1912) to 20th century impressions of the Shin Hanga movement (1915-1940s). Masters of this medium are represented, including the work of Utamaro, Kuniyoshi, Hokusai, Hiroshida, Tsuchiya Koitsu and Yoshida Hiroshi. The prints exemplify the soft, painterly style that is synonymous with the Japanese woodcut, and illustrates the wide range of subjects from courtesans to Kabuki theater and the Japanese landscape.

Abisay Puentes: Mist/Brumas
La Casita Cultural Center

Price: Free
La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St., Syracuse

Abisay Puentes reflects on universal problems of our human existence. Using characters like an old Adam and an old Eve, the artist seeks to develop his own myth. Developing a malleable parable, Puentes tries to tell his own story. As a primary element, he invents the existence of his characters in a theatrical ambiance, in an act of illusion, in the mist, the "brumas", that hides a more profound truth, concealed by his actors. The apple is but an escape. For Adam and Eve, there is nothing more important than themselves. Selfishness is a disease of our humanity. A world without selfishness would be the closest thing to the ideal of Paradise. "A world without selfishness," says Abisay Puentes, "would change the color of my paintings."

Philippe Halsman's Hollywood
Syracuse University School of Art and Design

Genet Design Gallery
The Warehouse, 350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse

This exhibition of work by noted photographer Philippe Halsman includes 30 portraits of actors and actresses that are on loan from SUArt Galleries.

Born in Riga, Latvia, Halsman (1906-1979) had a prolific career in photography that spanned five decades. A celebrated portraitist, camera designer and father of "jumpology"--the art of photographing subjects mid-jump--Halsman produced images of prominent fashion trends and individuals of his time, including Audrey Hepburn, Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill. His works were featured in articles and as cover art for such magazines as the Saturday Evening Post, Look and Newsweek. While he made numerous contributions to several magazines throughout his career, Halsman's record 101 Life magazine covers is one of his most notable achievements.

The exhibition is a joint project of the graduate students enrolled in the "Museum Preparation and Installation" and "Museum Graphics and Communications" courses in the museum studies program in VPA's Department of Design, under the guidance of faculty members Andrew Saluti and Carlota Deseda-Coon.

Getting To Know You: Artists Examine Authentic Connections in the Digital Age
601 Tully

601 Tully St.
Syracuse

Featuring work by Fanny Allié, American Bear, CampusNeighbor, and damali abrams.

In the digital age, people can virtually live their lives online. With the advent of various social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, it is easier than ever to connect. However, are these relationships genuine? Furthermore, does a social medium foster intimacy or aid in the superficiality of our society? For this exhibition, 601 Tully does not seek to resolve these questions but rather, bring them to light. The featured artists offer avenues for people to have authentic connections with one another through various interactive mediums with and without the assistance of the internet.

New York-based artist, Fanny Allié, invited Syracuse residents to submit photos, memories, and stories about their lives in an attempt to learn more about the community. With each memento, Allié will construct a site-specific installation that will give the audience a window into the individuals living in this area.

While Allié's installation exemplifies the direct interaction between herself and the participant, the collaborative team of American Bear created prompts and assignments for the public to engage with one another. As the assignments are completed, American Bear hopes to foster a more compassionate and community-minded city.

Like many college towns, there is and has always been an underlying fissure between Syracuse University students and the permanent residents. In recent years, Nancy Cantor, former Syracuse University Chancellor, has worked to mend that divide by creating the initiative, Scholarship in Action. CampusNeighbor is a bartering website that builds on that idea by linking these two groups together through skill-sharing, with the hopes that these exchanges will help to dismantle barriers that have been created through the years.

Although all of the above require participation in order to activate the piece, damali abrams, a performance-based artist, takes a different approach by reading from her diary. By exposing herself in this vulnerable manner, it elicits the viewer to relate to her through shared experiences.

Whether one is simply telling their story to Allié or participating in CampusNeighbor, the exhibition aims to get to know you.

Normal: How the Nazis Normalized the Unspeakable
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

Dan Lenchner's collection of photos of Third Reich life makes the power of the "uncanny" visible. They are both strange and somehow familiar, these snapshots: Nazi officers at family picnics, weddings and christenings, relaxing off-duty and courting their sweethearts, along with mischievous boys at Hitler Youth summer camps, smiling nurses, teenage girls practicing their goose-step, nuns posing with former students in uniform. Here are the threads in the fabric of a nation given over to war, close to 70 years ago. Still we struggle with what to make of their deeds, which lie so outside the frame. Lenchner, a photographer himself, is acutely attuned to this quality about the truth of any image. His book quotes Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem, that the "trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him...terribly and terrifyingly normal."

Garwin: Witness to History

Price: Free
Hergenhan Auditorium, Newhouse 3
Syracuse University, Syracuse

Premiere screening of a new documentary film by Richard Breyer (co-director of documentary film and history) and Anand Kamalakar (founder of Trilok Fusion Media in Brooklyn). The filmmakers traveled across the country with physicist Richard Garwin--from IBM headquarters in New York City to Washington, D.C., to Los Angeles, New Mexico to La Jolla, California--and even to Europe. Following Garwin as he searches for what it takes to build a more peaceful, verdant and sustainable world, and examining issues such as global warming, nuclear proliferation, disarmament and the energy crisis, the film explores the rich and controversial career of a man whose name is little known but whose impact on the 20th and 21st centuries has been remarkable.

A reception will follow. For more information, contact Breyer at 315-443-9249 or rbreyer@syr.edu.

In Da Window 4: Paper installation by Theresa Barry
Echo

745 N. Salina St. (formerly Craft Chemistry)
Syracuse

Theresa will be installing a paper sculpture in the Echo Studio windows that is meant to celebrate the coming of spring with color and whimsy. For Theresa, one of the biggest pleasures of the end of winter is shedding all the dark, heavy clothing we wear for so many months to keep warm. In March, we begin looking forward to lighter days, lighter clothing, and colorful things popping up out of the ground.

Two of her favorite things are store display windows and working with paper three dimensionally, and she loves that she is able to combine these things for this project. The sculpture will start in one window as a dress form and will visually continue in the second window, taking on a more abstract shape. Think: Pure fantasy, pure color, pure fun.

Theresa was inspired by the work of Bea Svenfeld, Jen Stark, Roxy Paine, and the late Alexander McQueen.

Gallery Exhibit: Lin Price--Realities, Dreams and Myths
Onondaga Community College

Ann Felton Multicultural Center and Gallery
Onondaga Community College, Syracuse

Artist Statement:
These recent works are part of an ongoing series, which often features an "Everyman" character, who exists in invented painterly terrains. It is an alternate dream-like world that mirrors back to us the difficulties of daily existence and unspoken longings. And, although I've chosen to depict a particular model, there is an element of autobiography in many of the paintings.

Recurring themes emerge; work, isolation, stress, searching, anticipation, and caring, and I believe many people in our times can identify with them. The paintings are idiosyncratic and I attempt to execute them with empathy towards the human condition.

Through imagination, playful creation of abstracted spaces, and color composition, I attempt to show an inner world that is mysterious, somehow noble, and non-linear--as dreams and life often are.

The Archive in Motion
Syracuse University Library Special Collections Research Center

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

This exhibition explores the concept of movement through the materials held by SU Libraries' Special Collections Research Center. Organized around a set of interlinked themes—color, combat, magic, transportation, dance, drawing, athletics, and gravity—the exhibition encompasses rare books, manuscripts, photographs, and original artworks spanning the 15th and 20th centuries. Inspired by the eccentric library of the art historian Aby Warburg and informed by the theoretical discourse on the archive formulated by Walter Benjamin, Jorge Luis Borges, Jacques Derrida, and Michel Foucault, this exhibition highlights the unique character of the collections at Syracuse. From Albert Einstein's original handwritten research paper "On Rotationally Symmetric Stationary Gravitational Fields," through stunning photographs of ballet dancers Paul Draper and George Skibine, to pochoir prints hand-painted by Native Americans, this exhibition not only attends to the representation of movement found in the collections, but it suggests that the archive is itself always in motion.

Artist statement: I grew up in Pittsburgh. My parents enjoyed driving around and hunting for furniture on the weekends and I got to see much of the city this way. I was taken by the furnaces and mills that lined the rivers--these giant, dark carcasses. At home, the only photo book my parents had was a paperback of Becher typologies and I looked at the blast furnaces and mineheads for hours. Once mobile at sixteen, I explored these places intimately. With a developing fondness and understanding, I began to photograph in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Michael Bühler-Rose: New Geographics
Light Work Gallery

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Michael Buhler-Rose's practices on multiple platforms influence his production as an artist. He has described his subjects as "theatrical cultural realities" and "feats of representation through place and displacement." Bühler-Rose uses western painting styles: still lifes, landscapes, portraits, to play with previous political notions of Hindu and Indic aesthetics: representations of gods and goddesses, incense, flowers, or the saris or bharatnaytam outfits worn by young women of European descent who live in a Hindu community in Florida. These pictures create a dialogue between the Orient and the Occident, creating a game of mirrors and reflections that interact endlessly, creating a juxtaposition of territories.

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

Cuba 2014

Redhouse is proud to have Julieve Jubin's inspirational and touching photography entitled "Cuba 2014" on exhibit.

Julieve Jubin received her MFA from Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester. She is a photo-based artist working with digital and experimental approaches to the image. She has exhibited her work in the US, Canada, and Europe and is the recipient of several awards and artist residencies. Her work is in the collection of the New York University Law School, Fototeca Cuba, and several private collections. She has taught at The Cooper Union School of Art, the International Center of Photography, Purdue University, and is currently an Associate Professor of Art at SUNY Oswego. She resides in New York City and Oswego.

Artist Statement:
Within the last few years, I've traveled to Cuba to photograph, as well as teach my course, Travel Photography: Cuba. During my first research trip in 2011, I immediately recognized that Cuba was different than any other place I had been. Certainly, I expected to see the old American cars, Spanish colonial architecture, and propaganda. What I didn't expect was the richly textured character of the street life. ... Within the last few years, largely due to the economic reforms and loosening of restrictions, streets and neighborhoods are transforming as new small businesses develop and homes are being restored. Fortunately, this shifting landscape hasn't yet altered the daily rituals and spirited atmosphere of the street life I've been so privileged to know. But it's clear Cuba is moving away from the time capsule it once inhabited towards a new, yet undetermined future.

A celebrated portraitist, camera designer and father of "jumpology"--the art of photographing subjects mid-jump--Halsman produced images of prominent fashion trends and individuals of his time, including Audrey Hepburn, Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill. His works were featured in articles and as cover art for such magazines as the Saturday Evening Post, Look and Newsweek. While he made numerous contributions to several magazines throughout his career, Halsman's record 101 Life magazine covers is one of his most notable achievements.

The exhibition is a joint project of the graduate students enrolled in the "Museum Preparation and Installation" and "Museum Graphics and Communications" courses in the museum studies program in VPA's Department of Design, under the guidance of faculty members Andrew Saluti and Carlota Deseda-Coon.

Getting To Know You: Artists Examine Authentic Connections in the Digital Age
601 Tully

601 Tully St.
Syracuse

Featuring work by Fanny Allié, American Bear, CampusNeighbor, and damali abrams.

In the digital age, people can virtually live their lives online. With the advent of various social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, it is easier than ever to connect. However, are these relationships genuine? Furthermore, does a social medium foster intimacy or aid in the superficiality of our society? For this exhibition, 601 Tully does not seek to resolve these questions but rather, bring them to light. The featured artists offer avenues for people to have authentic connections with one another through various interactive mediums with and without the assistance of the internet.

New York-based artist, Fanny Allié, invited Syracuse residents to submit photos, memories, and stories about their lives in an attempt to learn more about the community. With each memento, Allié will construct a site-specific installation that will give the audience a window into the individuals living in this area.

While Allié's installation exemplifies the direct interaction between herself and the participant, the collaborative team of American Bear created prompts and assignments for the public to engage with one another. As the assignments are completed, American Bear hopes to foster a more compassionate and community-minded city.

Like many college towns, there is and has always been an underlying fissure between Syracuse University students and the permanent residents. In recent years, Nancy Cantor, former Syracuse University Chancellor, has worked to mend that divide by creating the initiative, Scholarship in Action. CampusNeighbor is a bartering website that builds on that idea by linking these two groups together through skill-sharing, with the hopes that these exchanges will help to dismantle barriers that have been created through the years.

Although all of the above require participation in order to activate the piece, damali abrams, a performance-based artist, takes a different approach by reading from her diary. By exposing herself in this vulnerable manner, it elicits the viewer to relate to her through shared experiences.

Whether one is simply telling their story to Allié or participating in CampusNeighbor, the exhibition aims to get to know you.

Normal: How the Nazis Normalized the Unspeakable
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

Dan Lenchner's collection of photos of Third Reich life makes the power of the "uncanny" visible. They are both strange and somehow familiar, these snapshots: Nazi officers at family picnics, weddings and christenings, relaxing off-duty and courting their sweethearts, along with mischievous boys at Hitler Youth summer camps, smiling nurses, teenage girls practicing their goose-step, nuns posing with former students in uniform. Here are the threads in the fabric of a nation given over to war, close to 70 years ago. Still we struggle with what to make of their deeds, which lie so outside the frame. Lenchner, a photographer himself, is acutely attuned to this quality about the truth of any image. His book quotes Hannah Arendt's Eichmann in Jerusalem, that the "trouble with Eichmann was precisely that so many were like him...terribly and terrifyingly normal."

In Da Window 4: Paper installation by Theresa Barry
Echo

745 N. Salina St. (formerly Craft Chemistry)
Syracuse

Theresa will be installing a paper sculpture in the Echo Studio windows that is meant to celebrate the coming of spring with color and whimsy. For Theresa, one of the biggest pleasures of the end of winter is shedding all the dark, heavy clothing we wear for so many months to keep warm. In March, we begin looking forward to lighter days, lighter clothing, and colorful things popping up out of the ground.

Two of her favorite things are store display windows and working with paper three dimensionally, and she loves that she is able to combine these things for this project. The sculpture will start in one window as a dress form and will visually continue in the second window, taking on a more abstract shape. Think: Pure fantasy, pure color, pure fun.

Theresa was inspired by the work of Bea Svenfeld, Jen Stark, Roxy Paine, and the late Alexander McQueen.

Cuba 2014
Redhouse

Former Redhouse Theater
219 S. West St., Syracuse

Redhouse is proud to have Julieve Jubin's inspirational and touching photography entitled "Cuba 2014" on exhibit.

Julieve Jubin received her MFA from Visual Studies Workshop in Rochester. She is a photo-based artist working with digital and experimental approaches to the image. She has exhibited her work in the US, Canada, and Europe and is the recipient of several awards and artist residencies. Her work is in the collection of the New York University Law School, Fototeca Cuba, and several private collections. She has taught at The Cooper Union School of Art, the International Center of Photography, Purdue University, and is currently an Associate Professor of Art at SUNY Oswego. She resides in New York City and Oswego.

Artist Statement:
Within the last few years, I've traveled to Cuba to photograph, as well as teach my course, Travel Photography: Cuba. During my first research trip in 2011, I immediately recognized that Cuba was different than any other place I had been. Certainly, I expected to see the old American cars, Spanish colonial architecture, and propaganda. What I didn't expect was the richly textured character of the street life. ... Within the last few years, largely due to the economic reforms and loosening of restrictions, streets and neighborhoods are transforming as new small businesses develop and homes are being restored. Fortunately, this shifting landscape hasn't yet altered the daily rituals and spirited atmosphere of the street life I've been so privileged to know. But it's clear Cuba is moving away from the time capsule it once inhabited towards a new, yet undetermined future.

The gallery is open by appointment by phoning 315-425-0405.

Culture of the Cocktail Hour
Onondaga Historical Association

Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

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

International Art from the Permanent Collection
Syracuse University Art Museum

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

Highlighting the breadth of the collections' encyclopedic holdings and exploring international artists and themes, these new displays explore the genres of photography, prints, paintings and sculpture. Two of the exhibitions on display in the Print and Photo Study Galleries will highlight the University's vast holdings of historical Japanese photographs and prints. The third exhibition will examine artwork created by international artists who have immigrated to the United States.

America's Calling, presented in the Gallery of American Art, is an exhibition of 16 works of art by 15 foreign-born artists, including Ben Shahn, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Josef Albers. The artists included in the exhibition, or their families, were drawn to the United States because it offered opportunities unavailable in their homelands. A variety of media is presented in the display, including painting, ceramics, sculpture and printmaking that are handled using often innovative techniques. Cumulatively, these artists had a profound and permanent effect on the evolution of American art.

The Photo Study Room will present Visions for Sale: Photographs of Nineteenth Century Japan, an exhibition of 22 hand-colored albumen prints from the 19th century exploring the country's people, land and environment that was quickly changing due to modernization. European photographers such as Felice Beato and Baron Raimond Stillfield traveled to Japan to document the nation's exotic landscape and historically idiosyncratic jobs before they were swept away by the tide of modernism.

Ukiyo-e to Shin Hanga: Japanese Woodcuts from the Syracuse University Art Collection will be installed in the Print Study Room and draws from the University's collection of over 300 examples from this important and hugely influential art movement. The prints on view date from the height of color Ukiyo-e printmaking (c1780-1868) through Japan's Meiji period (1868-1912) to 20th century impressions of the Shin Hanga movement (1915-1940s). Masters of this medium are represented, including the work of Utamaro, Kuniyoshi, Hokusai, Hiroshida, Tsuchiya Koitsu and Yoshida Hiroshi. The prints exemplify the soft, painterly style that is synonymous with the Japanese woodcut, and illustrates the wide range of subjects from courtesans to Kabuki theater and the Japanese landscape.

Avery Sunshine
Onondaga Community College

Price: Free
Storer Auditorium
Onondaga Community College, Syracuse

Have you been to the church of Avery*Sunshine?

With her thunderous, gospel-bred pipes and heart-to-heart content, the singer-songwriter can't help spilling the truth in her music. She knows the best route sometimes is the direct one. No detours. So listeners won't have to "get on her level." She's already on theirs.

Her candid philosophy fits perfectly in a social-media-driven world that's forced even the most secretive entertainers to open up. While much of it seems staged (is everyone that perfect?), Avery's always been frank--the girlfriend and single mother of two who'll offer not just real, but relevant talk. That breakup? She's been there. Stressful days? (See: "Today"). Give her self-titled debut a spin (it was released independently in June 2010 and licensed in the UK, Europe and South Africa) and you'll see. It's organic. Soulful. Therapeutic. Every Avery album will be.

In 2010, Avery won Best New Artist at the Reader's Choice Awards. The following year, JET Magazine named her one of their 5 rising Indie Artists. Flexing her theater and thespian skills, Avery starred in the musical drama, I Dream, directed by Jasmine Guy, in addition to appearing on BBC 2 Live with Jools Holland. Her song "Like This" was featured in the TBS series, Franklin & Bash. And she appears on Will Downing's latest release, Silver, on the duet "You Were Meant Just For Me."

In Da Window 4: Paper installation by Theresa Barry
Echo

745 N. Salina St. (formerly Craft Chemistry)
Syracuse

Theresa will be installing a paper sculpture in the Echo Studio windows that is meant to celebrate the coming of spring with color and whimsy. For Theresa, one of the biggest pleasures of the end of winter is shedding all the dark, heavy clothing we wear for so many months to keep warm. In March, we begin looking forward to lighter days, lighter clothing, and colorful things popping up out of the ground.

Two of her favorite things are store display windows and working with paper three dimensionally, and she loves that she is able to combine these things for this project. The sculpture will start in one window as a dress form and will visually continue in the second window, taking on a more abstract shape. Think: Pure fantasy, pure color, pure fun.

Theresa was inspired by the work of Bea Svenfeld, Jen Stark, Roxy Paine, and the late Alexander McQueen.

Michael Bühler-Rose: New Geographics
Light Work Gallery

Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University, Syracuse

Michael Buhler-Rose's practices on multiple platforms influence his production as an artist. He has described his subjects as "theatrical cultural realities" and "feats of representation through place and displacement." Bühler-Rose uses western painting styles: still lifes, landscapes, portraits, to play with previous political notions of Hindu and Indic aesthetics: representations of gods and goddesses, incense, flowers, or the saris or bharatnaytam outfits worn by young women of European descent who live in a Hindu community in Florida. These pictures create a dialogue between the Orient and the Occident, creating a game of mirrors and reflections that interact endlessly, creating a juxtaposition of territories.

Light Work and Community Darkrooms are pleased to present Dan Wetmore's exhibition Golden Dawn, a series of pictures made from 2009-2012, in and between Flint, MI, Binghamton, NY, Cleveland, OH, Wheeling, WV, and Pittsburgh, PA.

Artist statement: I grew up in Pittsburgh. My parents enjoyed driving around and hunting for furniture on the weekends and I got to see much of the city this way. I was taken by the furnaces and mills that lined the rivers--these giant, dark carcasses. At home, the only photo book my parents had was a paperback of Becher typologies and I looked at the blast furnaces and mineheads for hours. Once mobile at sixteen, I explored these places intimately. With a developing fondness and understanding, I began to photograph in the surrounding neighborhoods.

Culture of the Cocktail Hour
Onondaga Historical Association

Onondaga Historical Association
321 Montgomery St., Syracuse

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

International Art from the Permanent Collection
Syracuse University Art Museum

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

Highlighting the breadth of the collections' encyclopedic holdings and exploring international artists and themes, these new displays explore the genres of photography, prints, paintings and sculpture. Two of the exhibitions on display in the Print and Photo Study Galleries will highlight the University's vast holdings of historical Japanese photographs and prints. The third exhibition will examine artwork created by international artists who have immigrated to the United States.

America's Calling, presented in the Gallery of American Art, is an exhibition of 16 works of art by 15 foreign-born artists, including Ben Shahn, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, and Josef Albers. The artists included in the exhibition, or their families, were drawn to the United States because it offered opportunities unavailable in their homelands. A variety of media is presented in the display, including painting, ceramics, sculpture and printmaking that are handled using often innovative techniques. Cumulatively, these artists had a profound and permanent effect on the evolution of American art.

The Photo Study Room will present Visions for Sale: Photographs of Nineteenth Century Japan, an exhibition of 22 hand-colored albumen prints from the 19th century exploring the country's people, land and environment that was quickly changing due to modernization. European photographers such as Felice Beato and Baron Raimond Stillfield traveled to Japan to document the nation's exotic landscape and historically idiosyncratic jobs before they were swept away by the tide of modernism.

Ukiyo-e to Shin Hanga: Japanese Woodcuts from the Syracuse University Art Collection will be installed in the Print Study Room and draws from the University's collection of over 300 examples from this important and hugely influential art movement. The prints on view date from the height of color Ukiyo-e printmaking (c1780-1868) through Japan's Meiji period (1868-1912) to 20th century impressions of the Shin Hanga movement (1915-1940s). Masters of this medium are represented, including the work of Utamaro, Kuniyoshi, Hokusai, Hiroshida, Tsuchiya Koitsu and Yoshida Hiroshi. The prints exemplify the soft, painterly style that is synonymous with the Japanese woodcut, and illustrates the wide range of subjects from courtesans to Kabuki theater and the Japanese landscape.
