Nicholas Muellner: Asea Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nicholas Muellner's "Asea" offers up photographs depicting people pantomiming in a verdant landscape made complex with surreal lighting; these images are paired with an issue of Contact Sheet that serves as a guidebook to the exhibition. The text in Contact Sheet is wryly poetic and succinct, and loosely leads us from picture to picture. "Asea" takes us somewhere without making its destination specific, setting a tone and mood that guides our desire for meaning but refuses to precisely locate it. With "Asea," Muellner projects a state of limbo and a search for personal meaning within photography's inevitable narrative limits. We are asked to ponder alone, in a subjective state that is not fixed but which hovers within the parameters established by the photographs and text. Ultimately, we engage with "Asea" because it is at once thoughtful, beautiful, and curious.

Mithila Women Paint Gender-Based Violence in the 21st Century Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
For centuries, Mithila painters who work in Northeastern India have made paintings of gods and auspicious symbols on the walls and floors of their homes. This exhibition investigates a recent development within this long tradition of Indian folk art, where, beginning in the mid-2000s, artists began making paintings drawn from their own lived experiences. These women painters depicted the violence enacted against them, including dowry deaths, female feticide, and male kin's control generally. In doing so, this exhibition will draw attention to the patriarchal structures of this rural Indian community and broader structures of gender-based violence worldwide.

"Fruits of Their Labor" seeks to reexamine depictions of labor and leisure in the Syracuse University Art Museum's permanent collection. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed systemic problems in the workplace, mirroring the societal shifts in the labor industry during the Great Depression. Through thematic groupings such as those that depict women's work in and out of the home or behind the scenes views into the entertainment industry, this exhibition challenges conventional depictions of labor.

Homeward to the Prairie I Come: Gordon Parks Photographs Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A new exhibition of the work of renowned photographer, writer, poet, musician, and composer Gordon Parks features more than 75 of Parks' images, examining his wide-ranging artistic ideas. The exhibition not only includes Parks' documentary photography such as the series Paris Fashions, Fort Scott Revisited, The Redemption of the Champion (featuring images of Muhammed Ali), but also his thoughts on photography as a fine art medium and his engagement with celebrated paintings and sculptures. Most significantly, the photographs instigate cultural change by challenging viewers to imagine a more inclusive culture than the one they know: a world where Black skin represents ideal beauty, where an African American athlete embodies the exemplary hero, and where an artist of African heritage has a place within the lineage of excellent artists in Western art history.

Tim Atseff: Final Edition Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Fifty years following his Everson Museum debut, Syracuse-native Tim Atseff returns with a solo exhibition dedicated to a topic he knows intimately — the news media. Atseff spent nearly five decades working in the newspaper business in various professional roles and is perhaps best-known for penning editorial cartoons that satirically skewered political and public figures in print. Atseff's artistic practice is similarly grounded in current events, but as a platform for expressing his personal views about existential crises facing the world today, it is writ large and in full color in paintings, assemblages, and installations. For the Everson, Atseff presents a selection of recent works about the continued shuttering of American newspapers — and what it means for the future of journalistic integrity, an informed public, and national political debate. Timed to coincide with the 2024 US Presidential elections, "Tim Atseff: Final Edition" features more than 15 works from the last decade, along with a selection of editorial cartoons penned during Atseff's newspaper career.

Sascha Brastoff: California King Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
There are many wild and colorful characters in the history of American ceramics, but most pale in comparison to Sascha Brastoff. We most remember Brastoff as a prolific designer of midcentury dinnerware, but he also served in the US Army during World War II, where he created props and costumes for Special Services events to entertain troops. Brastoff also performed as his drag alter-ego, G.I. Carmen Miranda, and was cast in a Broadway production, Winged Victory (later adapted into the 1944 movie of the same name). When the war ended, Brastoff moved to Los Angeles to design costumes for film stars, including the real Carmen Miranda. Brastoff then built a dinnerware empire (bankrolled by a Rockefeller) after taking a top prize in the Syracuse Museum of Fine Art's 1948 Ceramic National exhibition. Throughout his career, Brastoff rubbed elbows with celebrities and was at the heart of L.A.'s Queer underground. Besides his work in ceramics, Brastoff also mastered jewelry, metalwork, enamels, and created erotic works for many private clients.

Putting Art to Work: Prints of the Works Progress Administration Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Great Depression reached its peak in 1933 when the unemployment rate in the United States plummeted to 20%. The Public Works of Art Project, a relief measure to employ artists, was one of many New Deal initiatives that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law during his first year in office. In 1935, the program was replaced by the Federal Art Project, which was administered by the Works Progress Administration. Together, the two programs employed more than 10,000 artists and generated an estimated 400,000 paintings, murals, prints, and posters. The Everson Museum of Art (then the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts) played an important role as Museum Director Anna Wetherill Olmsted oversaw the Central New York region of the Federal Art Project. Putting Art to Work features more than 60 prints made under the auspices of the Public Works of Art Project and the Federal Art Project between 1934 and 1942. Most of the prints in the Everson's collection were donated to the Museum by the Public Works of Art Project of New York City, but Putting Art to Work includes key loans from the Syracuse University Art Museum, the Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego, the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University, and the Onondaga Historical Association that show the program's economic and cultural impact on our region's public institutions and artists.

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Off the Rack" is the happy by-product of a major renovation of the Everson's on-site art storage. As hundreds of paintings and framed works are displaced from their racks while renovations take place, the public has an unprecedented opportunity to view objects that have been in deep storage for years, never-before-seen recent acquisitions, and some perennial favorites — all hung together salon-style in our exhibition galleries. This smorgasbord of paintings and works on paper showcases the breadth and depth of the Museum's collections and provides a glimpse into the world of collections management and care.

Libro de Artista Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Point of Contact (POC), in partnership with the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Argentina (MNBA), and the Museum Studies Program at Syracuse University, presents the exhibit Libro de Artista, a showcase of the National Museum's Artist Book Collection, for its first showing in the United States. Artist books occupy an important place in a creator's life. They are notebooks, sketches, projects, and ideas that, at times, serve as the seed for future art pieces, and can also transfigure into true works of art themselves. The Libro de Artista exhibit comprises more than 60 works from different periods by artists in their explorations around painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and drawing. Using different techniques, formats, and materials, artist books take many forms on paper, cardboard, celluloid, acrylic, metal, and other materials, transforming into boxes, intervened prints, collages, and pop-up books.

Lynne Sachs: This Side of Salina Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Four Black women from the gritty and tenacious city of Syracuse reflect on sexuality, youthful regret, emotional vulnerability, raising a daughter, and working in reproductive health services. In a series of their own choreographed vignettes, each woman thoughtfully engages with the neighborhoods she's known all of her life. Two performers flip through classic 1960s titles by Black authors in a bookstore. Others sit in a hat store finding time to pour into each other, as mentors and confidantes. These are businesses that are owned by local Black women, and they know it. In Brady Market, a community grocery, they playfully shop and chat with ease and confidence. They dance to their own rhythms in the outdoor plaza of the Everson Museum of Art. Together they look down at the city from its highest point and ponder how to battle the inequities of the place that they call home. (12 minutes) Screening begins at dusk.

Dial M for Murder Syracuse Stage Robert Hupp, director
Archbold Theater, Syracuse Stage
820 E. Genesee St.,
Syracuse
Margot and Tony live a seemingly charmed married life in 1950s London. But not all is as it appears: Margot, desperate to return to her idyllic domesticity, has ended a lengthy affair with a dashing American lover even as she's being blackmailed by someone threatening to expose her indiscretion to her husband. But Tony already knows, and has a plot of twisted revenge on his mind. Adapted from Frederick Knott's original made famous by Alfred Hitchcock's film, Jeffrey Hatcher's taut adaptation keeps the twists coming until the very end.

Most of the prints in the Everson's collection were donated to the Museum by the Public Works of Art Project of New York City, but Putting Art to Work includes key loans from the Syracuse University Art Museum, the Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego, the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University, and the Onondaga Historical Association that show the program's economic and cultural impact on our region's public institutions and artists.

Libro de Artista Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Point of Contact (POC), in partnership with the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Argentina (MNBA), and the Museum Studies Program at Syracuse University, presents the exhibit Libro de Artista, a showcase of the National Museum's Artist Book Collection, for its first showing in the United States. Artist books occupy an important place in a creator's life. They are notebooks, sketches, projects, and ideas that, at times, serve as the seed for future art pieces, and can also transfigure into true works of art themselves. The Libro de Artista exhibit comprises more than 60 works from different periods by artists in their explorations around painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and drawing. Using different techniques, formats, and materials, artist books take many forms on paper, cardboard, celluloid, acrylic, metal, and other materials, transforming into boxes, intervened prints, collages, and pop-up books.

Lynne Sachs: This Side of Salina Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Four Black women from the gritty and tenacious city of Syracuse reflect on sexuality, youthful regret, emotional vulnerability, raising a daughter, and working in reproductive health services. In a series of their own choreographed vignettes, each woman thoughtfully engages with the neighborhoods she's known all of her life. Two performers flip through classic 1960s titles by Black authors in a bookstore. Others sit in a hat store finding time to pour into each other, as mentors and confidantes. These are businesses that are owned by local Black women, and they know it. In Brady Market, a community grocery, they playfully shop and chat with ease and confidence. They dance to their own rhythms in the outdoor plaza of the Everson Museum of Art. Together they look down at the city from its highest point and ponder how to battle the inequities of the place that they call home. (12 minutes) Screening begins at dusk.

Putting Art to Work: Prints of the Works Progress Administration Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Great Depression reached its peak in 1933 when the unemployment rate in the United States plummeted to 20%. The Public Works of Art Project, a relief measure to employ artists, was one of many New Deal initiatives that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law during his first year in office. In 1935, the program was replaced by the Federal Art Project, which was administered by the Works Progress Administration. Together, the two programs employed more than 10,000 artists and generated an estimated 400,000 paintings, murals, prints, and posters. The Everson Museum of Art (then the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts) played an important role as Museum Director Anna Wetherill Olmsted oversaw the Central New York region of the Federal Art Project. Putting Art to Work features more than 60 prints made under the auspices of the Public Works of Art Project and the Federal Art Project between 1934 and 1942.

Tim Atseff: Final Edition Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Fifty years following his Everson Museum debut, Syracuse-native Tim Atseff returns with a solo exhibition dedicated to a topic he knows intimately — the news media. Atseff spent nearly five decades working in the newspaper business in various professional roles and is perhaps best-known for penning editorial cartoons that satirically skewered political and public figures in print. Atseff's artistic practice is similarly grounded in current events, but as a platform for expressing his personal views about existential crises facing the world today, it is writ large and in full color in paintings, assemblages, and installations. For the Everson, Atseff presents a selection of recent works about the continued shuttering of American newspapers — and what it means for the future of journalistic integrity, an informed public, and national political debate. Timed to coincide with the 2024 US Presidential elections, "Tim Atseff: Final Edition" features more than 15 works from the last decade, along with a selection of editorial cartoons penned during Atseff's newspaper career.

Sascha Brastoff: California King Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
There are many wild and colorful characters in the history of American ceramics, but most pale in comparison to Sascha Brastoff. We most remember Brastoff as a prolific designer of midcentury dinnerware, but he also served in the US Army during World War II, where he created props and costumes for Special Services events to entertain troops. Brastoff also performed as his drag alter-ego, G.I. Carmen Miranda, and was cast in a Broadway production, Winged Victory (later adapted into the 1944 movie of the same name). When the war ended, Brastoff moved to Los Angeles to design costumes for film stars, including the real Carmen Miranda. Brastoff then built a dinnerware empire (bankrolled by a Rockefeller) after taking a top prize in the Syracuse Museum of Fine Art's 1948 Ceramic National exhibition. Throughout his career, Brastoff rubbed elbows with celebrities and was at the heart of L.A.'s Queer underground. Besides his work in ceramics, Brastoff also mastered jewelry, metalwork, enamels, and created erotic works for many private clients.

Nicholas Muellner: Asea Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nicholas Muellner's "Asea" offers up photographs depicting people pantomiming in a verdant landscape made complex with surreal lighting; these images are paired with an issue of Contact Sheet that serves as a guidebook to the exhibition. The text in Contact Sheet is wryly poetic and succinct, and loosely leads us from picture to picture. "Asea" takes us somewhere without making its destination specific, setting a tone and mood that guides our desire for meaning but refuses to precisely locate it. With "Asea," Muellner projects a state of limbo and a search for personal meaning within photography's inevitable narrative limits. We are asked to ponder alone, in a subjective state that is not fixed but which hovers within the parameters established by the photographs and text. Ultimately, we engage with "Asea" because it is at once thoughtful, beautiful, and curious.

Mithila Women Paint Gender-Based Violence in the 21st Century Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
For centuries, Mithila painters who work in Northeastern India have made paintings of gods and auspicious symbols on the walls and floors of their homes. This exhibition investigates a recent development within this long tradition of Indian folk art, where, beginning in the mid-2000s, artists began making paintings drawn from their own lived experiences. These women painters depicted the violence enacted against them, including dowry deaths, female feticide, and male kin's control generally. In doing so, this exhibition will draw attention to the patriarchal structures of this rural Indian community and broader structures of gender-based violence worldwide.

"Fruits of Their Labor" seeks to reexamine depictions of labor and leisure in the Syracuse University Art Museum's permanent collection. The COVID-19 pandemic exposed systemic problems in the workplace, mirroring the societal shifts in the labor industry during the Great Depression. Through thematic groupings such as those that depict women's work in and out of the home or behind the scenes views into the entertainment industry, this exhibition challenges conventional depictions of labor.

Homeward to the Prairie I Come: Gordon Parks Photographs Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A new exhibition of the work of renowned photographer, writer, poet, musician, and composer Gordon Parks features more than 75 of Parks' images, examining his wide-ranging artistic ideas. The exhibition not only includes Parks' documentary photography such as the series Paris Fashions, Fort Scott Revisited, The Redemption of the Champion (featuring images of Muhammed Ali), but also his thoughts on photography as a fine art medium and his engagement with celebrated paintings and sculptures. Most significantly, the photographs instigate cultural change by challenging viewers to imagine a more inclusive culture than the one they know: a world where Black skin represents ideal beauty, where an African American athlete embodies the exemplary hero, and where an artist of African heritage has a place within the lineage of excellent artists in Western art history.

Mithila Women Paint Gender-Based Violence in the 21st Century Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
For centuries, Mithila painters who work in Northeastern India have made paintings of gods and auspicious symbols on the walls and floors of their homes. This exhibition investigates a recent development within this long tradition of Indian folk art, where, beginning in the mid-2000s, artists began making paintings drawn from their own lived experiences. These women painters depicted the violence enacted against them, including dowry deaths, female feticide, and male kin's control generally. In doing so, this exhibition will draw attention to the patriarchal structures of this rural Indian community and broader structures of gender-based violence worldwide.

Homeward to the Prairie I Come: Gordon Parks Photographs Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
A new exhibition of the work of renowned photographer, writer, poet, musician, and composer Gordon Parks features more than 75 of Parks' images, examining his wide-ranging artistic ideas. The exhibition not only includes Parks' documentary photography such as the series Paris Fashions, Fort Scott Revisited, The Redemption of the Champion (featuring images of Muhammed Ali), but also his thoughts on photography as a fine art medium and his engagement with celebrated paintings and sculptures. Most significantly, the photographs instigate cultural change by challenging viewers to imagine a more inclusive culture than the one they know: a world where Black skin represents ideal beauty, where an African American athlete embodies the exemplary hero, and where an artist of African heritage has a place within the lineage of excellent artists in Western art history.

Margot and Tony live a seemingly charmed married life in 1950s London. But not all is as it appears: Margot, desperate to return to her idyllic domesticity, has ended a lengthy affair with a dashing American lover even as she's being blackmailed by someone threatening to expose her indiscretion to her husband.

Heir to the Frankish throne, the young prince Pippin is in search of the secret to true happiness and fulfillment.

Nicholas Muellner: Asea Light Work Gallery
Light Work Gallery
316 Waverly Ave., Syracuse University,
Syracuse
Nicholas Muellner's "Asea" offers up photographs depicting people pantomiming in a verdant landscape made complex with surreal lighting; these images are paired with an issue of Contact Sheet that serves as a guidebook to the exhibition. The text in Contact Sheet is wryly poetic and succinct, and loosely leads us from picture to picture. "Asea" takes us somewhere without making its destination specific, setting a tone and mood that guides our desire for meaning but refuses to precisely locate it. With "Asea," Muellner projects a state of limbo and a search for personal meaning within photography's inevitable narrative limits. We are asked to ponder alone, in a subjective state that is not fixed but which hovers within the parameters established by the photographs and text. Ultimately, we engage with "Asea" because it is at once thoughtful, beautiful, and curious.

Syracuse
Point of Contact (POC), in partnership with the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Argentina (MNBA), and the Museum Studies Program at Syracuse University, presents the exhibit Libro de Artista, a showcase of the National Museum's Artist Book Collection, for its first showing in the United States. Artist books occupy an important place in a creator's life. They are notebooks, sketches, projects, and ideas that, at times, serve as the seed for future art pieces, and can also transfigure into true works of art themselves. The Libro de Artista exhibit comprises more than 60 works from different periods by artists in their explorations around painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and drawing. Using different techniques, formats, and materials, artist books take many forms on paper, cardboard, celluloid, acrylic, metal, and other materials, transforming into boxes, intervened prints, collages, and pop-up books.

Tim Atseff: Final Edition Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Fifty years following his Everson Museum debut, Syracuse-native Tim Atseff returns with a solo exhibition dedicated to a topic he knows intimately — the news media. Atseff spent nearly five decades working in the newspaper business in various professional roles and is perhaps best-known for penning editorial cartoons that satirically skewered political and public figures in print. Atseff's artistic practice is similarly grounded in current events, but as a platform for expressing his personal views about existential crises facing the world today, it is writ large and in full color in paintings, assemblages, and installations. For the Everson, Atseff presents a selection of recent works about the continued shuttering of American newspapers — and what it means for the future of journalistic integrity, an informed public, and national political debate. Timed to coincide with the 2024 US Presidential elections, "Tim Atseff: Final Edition" features more than 15 works from the last decade, along with a selection of editorial cartoons penned during Atseff's newspaper career.

Sascha Brastoff: California King Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
There are many wild and colorful characters in the history of American ceramics, but most pale in comparison to Sascha Brastoff. We most remember Brastoff as a prolific designer of midcentury dinnerware, but he also served in the US Army during World War II, where he created props and costumes for Special Services events to entertain troops. Brastoff also performed as his drag alter-ego, G.I. Carmen Miranda, and was cast in a Broadway production, Winged Victory (later adapted into the 1944 movie of the same name). When the war ended, Brastoff moved to Los Angeles to design costumes for film stars, including the real Carmen Miranda. Brastoff then built a dinnerware empire (bankrolled by a Rockefeller) after taking a top prize in the Syracuse Museum of Fine Art's 1948 Ceramic National exhibition. Throughout his career, Brastoff rubbed elbows with celebrities and was at the heart of L.A.'s Queer underground. Besides his work in ceramics, Brastoff also mastered jewelry, metalwork, enamels, and created erotic works for many private clients.

Putting Art to Work: Prints of the Works Progress Administration Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
The Great Depression reached its peak in 1933 when the unemployment rate in the United States plummeted to 20%. The Public Works of Art Project, a relief measure to employ artists, was one of many New Deal initiatives that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law during his first year in office. In 1935, the program was replaced by the Federal Art Project, which was administered by the Works Progress Administration. Together, the two programs employed more than 10,000 artists and generated an estimated 400,000 paintings, murals, prints, and posters. The Everson Museum of Art (then the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts) played an important role as Museum Director Anna Wetherill Olmsted oversaw the Central New York region of the Federal Art Project. Putting Art to Work features more than 60 prints made under the auspices of the Public Works of Art Project and the Federal Art Project between 1934 and 1942. Most of the prints in the Everson's collection were donated to the Museum by the Public Works of Art Project of New York City, but Putting Art to Work includes key loans from the Syracuse University Art Museum, the Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego, the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University, and the Onondaga Historical Association that show the program's economic and cultural impact on our region's public institutions and artists.

"Off the Rack" is the happy by-product of a major renovation of the Everson's on-site art storage. As hundreds of paintings and framed works are displaced from their racks while renovations take place, the public has an unprecedented opportunity to view objects that have been in deep storage for years, never-before-seen recent acquisitions, and some perennial favorites — all hung together salon-style in our exhibition galleries. This smorgasbord of paintings and works on paper showcases the breadth and depth of the Museum's collections and provides a glimpse into the world of collections management and care.

The Public Works of Art Project, a relief measure to employ artists, was one of many New Deal initiatives that President Franklin Delano Roosevelt signed into law during his first year in office. In 1935, the program was replaced by the Federal Art Project, which was administered by the Works Progress Administration. Together, the two programs employed more than 10,000 artists and generated an estimated 400,000 paintings, murals, prints, and posters. The Everson Museum of Art (then the Syracuse Museum of Fine Arts) played an important role as Museum Director Anna Wetherill Olmsted oversaw the Central New York region of the Federal Art Project. Putting Art to Work features more than 60 prints made under the auspices of the Public Works of Art Project and the Federal Art Project between 1934 and 1942. Most of the prints in the Everson's collection were donated to the Museum by the Public Works of Art Project of New York City, but Putting Art to Work includes key loans from the Syracuse University Art Museum, the Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego, the Picker Art Gallery at Colgate University, and the Onondaga Historical Association that show the program's economic and cultural impact on our region's public institutions and artists.

Off the Rack Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
"Off the Rack" is the happy by-product of a major renovation of the Everson's on-site art storage. As hundreds of paintings and framed works are displaced from their racks while renovations take place, the public has an unprecedented opportunity to view objects that have been in deep storage for years, never-before-seen recent acquisitions, and some perennial favorites — all hung together salon-style in our exhibition galleries. This smorgasbord of paintings and works on paper showcases the breadth and depth of the Museum's collections and provides a glimpse into the world of collections management and care.

Libro de Artista Point of Contact Gallery
Price: Free Point of Contact Gallery
350 W. Fayette St.,
Syracuse
Point of Contact (POC), in partnership with the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes de Argentina (MNBA), and the Museum Studies Program at Syracuse University, presents the exhibit Libro de Artista, a showcase of the National Museum's Artist Book Collection, for its first showing in the United States. Artist books occupy an important place in a creator's life. They are notebooks, sketches, projects, and ideas that, at times, serve as the seed for future art pieces, and can also transfigure into true works of art themselves. The Libro de Artista exhibit comprises more than 60 works from different periods by artists in their explorations around painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, and drawing. Using different techniques, formats, and materials, artist books take many forms on paper, cardboard, celluloid, acrylic, metal, and other materials, transforming into boxes, intervened prints, collages, and pop-up books.

Lynne Sachs: This Side of Salina Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Four Black women from the gritty and tenacious city of Syracuse reflect on sexuality, youthful regret, emotional vulnerability, raising a daughter, and working in reproductive health services. In a series of their own choreographed vignettes, each woman thoughtfully engages with the neighborhoods she's known all of her life. Two performers flip through classic 1960s titles by Black authors in a bookstore. Others sit in a hat store finding time to pour into each other, as mentors and confidantes. These are businesses that are owned by local Black women, and they know it. In Brady Market, a community grocery, they playfully shop and chat with ease and confidence. They dance to their own rhythms in the outdoor plaza of the Everson Museum of Art. Together they look down at the city from its highest point and ponder how to battle the inequities of the place that they call home. (12 minutes) Screening begins at dusk.
