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.

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.

Fruits of Their Labor: Work and Leisure at the Syracuse University Art Museum Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"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.

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.

Cali M. Banks: I’ve Learned to Hold Myself Softly Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Cali M. Banks, whose ancestors are both Munsee Lenape and Scottish, recently returned to Syracuse, where she was born and raised. As an artist, Banks has long embraced photography as her medium of choice. Rather than embracing photography's objective or journalistic qualities, Banks seeks to personalize her work through a combination of alchemical processes and labor-intensive embellishment. The result is a body of work that balances nostalgia, loss, identity, longing, and a sense of community. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" utilizes self-portraiture, still-lifes, and architecture to examine Banks' return to Syracuse. Many of the places that she had found solace in as a youth have now been demolished, abandoned, or gentrified. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" funnels the emotions associated with loss and change into works that reflect the conflicting realities and collateral damage that stem from the rapid changes Syracuse has undergone during the past decade.

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.

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.

Clayscapes Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Clayscapes is a tribute to clay's ubiquitous presence in our lives, and to the powerful metaphorical and spiritual role that it can play. The Everson's famous collection of ceramics is filled with works that explore the landscape—from artist Robert Arneson's monumental celebration of California's mountainous landscape to Uruguayan-born Lidya Buzio's earthy vessels adorned with the skyline of her adopted home in New York City. The collection contains many commercially produced souvenir plates and pitchers meant to commemorate and memorialize specific places. These wares are a distinctive part of the Museum's collection, and they provide inspiration for contemporary artists such as Paul Scott, who makes commemorative plates that reflect the ways that humans have altered the landscape and exploited its resources. As artists continue to shape clay, Clayscapes recognizes the ways in which clay shapes us. The Everson's ceramic collection is filled with work that documents the joys and sorrows of humankind's relationship with the Earth. This exhibition pays tribute to the powerful connection between artists and the world around them.

Another World Is Possible: Posters by Ricardo Levins Morales ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave.,
Syracuse
Ricardo Levins Morales is an artist and organizer based in Minneapolis. He uses his art as a form of political medicine to support individual and collective healing from the injuries and ongoing reality of oppression. He was born into the anti-colonial movement in his native Puerto Rico and was drawn into activism in Chicago when his family moved there in 1967. This activism has included support work for the Black Panthers and Young Lords and participating in or acting in solidarity with farmers, environmental, labor, racial justice, antiwar and other struggles for peoples empowerment.

Opening: Weird Barrio / Por mi barrio La Casita Cultural Center
La Casita Cultural Center
109 Otisco St.,
Syracuse
The opening event will include a walking tour and artist talk by Manuel Matías, followed by live music from Grupo Pagán, and a buffet of authentic Caribbean cuisine. Weird Barrio, the art of Syracuse-based Puerto Rican artist Manuel Matías, depicts the Latino barrio experience in intricate detail. At its core, it is a testament to the power of storytelling and visual representation in shaping collective identity and fostering a sense of belonging within marginalized communities. By intricately depicting familiar settings, Westside neighborhood streets, community buildings, home environments, and conceptual representations of a unique and distinctive character, Matías invites viewers to immerse themselves in the rich tapestry of life in the barrios, capturing the essence of kinship and cultural pride that define these neighborhoods.

Paulina Velázquez Solís: Unseen/forgotten: Ode to the humble landscape Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Unseen/forgotten: Ode to the humble landscape | Invisible/olvidado: Oda al paisaje humilde is a continuation of the project A river of all ages that Paulina Velázquez Solís developed during the pandemic. She found herself in a new environment in Brooktondale NY, surrounded by a creek where the change of pace and isolation brought via COVID accentuated the sound perception of the river, and its presence as a neighbor and living entity. This sonic connection was similar to her home in Costa Rica, which is also next to a river, making the sound experience of the river both grounding and nostalgic. This experience brought a new perspective not only in the sense of place through bodies of water but also in the creatures and plants that are particular to a place. Unseen/forgotten: continues these observations focusing on plants of Central New York natural areas that present a post-industrial natural wonder – where many species prevail after the severe deforestation through the end of the 19th century and the start of the 1900s, presenting through visuals, media performance and soundscapes, stories learned during the explorations of natural areas, and visits at the L. H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium at Cornell University. Screening begins at dusk.

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.

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.

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.

Cali M. Banks: I’ve Learned to Hold Myself Softly Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Cali M. Banks, whose ancestors are both Munsee Lenape and Scottish, recently returned to Syracuse, where she was born and raised. As an artist, Banks has long embraced photography as her medium of choice. Rather than embracing photography's objective or journalistic qualities, Banks seeks to personalize her work through a combination of alchemical processes and labor-intensive embellishment. The result is a body of work that balances nostalgia, loss, identity, longing, and a sense of community. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" utilizes self-portraiture, still-lifes, and architecture to examine Banks' return to Syracuse. Many of the places that she had found solace in as a youth have now been demolished, abandoned, or gentrified. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" funnels the emotions associated with loss and change into works that reflect the conflicting realities and collateral damage that stem from the rapid changes Syracuse has undergone during the past decade.

Clayscapes Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Clayscapes is a tribute to clay's ubiquitous presence in our lives, and to the powerful metaphorical and spiritual role that it can play. The Everson's famous collection of ceramics is filled with works that explore the landscape—from artist Robert Arneson's monumental celebration of California's mountainous landscape to Uruguayan-born Lidya Buzio's earthy vessels adorned with the skyline of her adopted home in New York City. The collection contains many commercially produced souvenir plates and pitchers meant to commemorate and memorialize specific places. These wares are a distinctive part of the Museum's collection, and they provide inspiration for contemporary artists such as Paul Scott, who makes commemorative plates that reflect the ways that humans have altered the landscape and exploited its resources. As artists continue to shape clay, Clayscapes recognizes the ways in which clay shapes us. The Everson's ceramic collection is filled with work that documents the joys and sorrows of humankind's relationship with the Earth. This exhibition pays tribute to the powerful connection between artists and the world around them.

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.

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.

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.

Cali M. Banks: I’ve Learned to Hold Myself Softly Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Cali M. Banks, whose ancestors are both Munsee Lenape and Scottish, recently returned to Syracuse, where she was born and raised. As an artist, Banks has long embraced photography as her medium of choice. Rather than embracing photography's objective or journalistic qualities, Banks seeks to personalize her work through a combination of alchemical processes and labor-intensive embellishment. The result is a body of work that balances nostalgia, loss, identity, longing, and a sense of community. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" utilizes self-portraiture, still-lifes, and architecture to examine Banks' return to Syracuse. Many of the places that she had found solace in as a youth have now been demolished, abandoned, or gentrified. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" funnels the emotions associated with loss and change into works that reflect the conflicting realities and collateral damage that stem from the rapid changes Syracuse has undergone during the past decade.

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.

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.

Off the Rack Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art

"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.

Clayscapes Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Clayscapes is a tribute to clay's ubiquitous presence in our lives, and to the powerful metaphorical and spiritual role that it can play. The Everson's famous collection of ceramics is filled with works that explore the landscape—from artist Robert Arneson's monumental celebration of California's mountainous landscape to Uruguayan-born Lidya Buzio's earthy vessels adorned with the skyline of her adopted home in New York City. The collection contains many commercially produced souvenir plates and pitchers meant to commemorate and memorialize specific places. These wares are a distinctive part of the Museum's collection, and they provide inspiration for contemporary artists such as Paul Scott, who makes commemorative plates that reflect the ways that humans have altered the landscape and exploited its resources. As artists continue to shape clay, Clayscapes recognizes the ways in which clay shapes us. The Everson's ceramic collection is filled with work that documents the joys and sorrows of humankind's relationship with the Earth. This exhibition pays tribute to the powerful connection between artists and the world around them.

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.

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.

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: Work and Leisure at the Syracuse University Art Museum Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Cali M. Banks: I’ve Learned to Hold Myself Softly Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Cali M. Banks, whose ancestors are both Munsee Lenape and Scottish, recently returned to Syracuse, where she was born and raised. As an artist, Banks has long embraced photography as her medium of choice. Rather than embracing photography's objective or journalistic qualities, Banks seeks to personalize her work through a combination of alchemical processes and labor-intensive embellishment. The result is a body of work that balances nostalgia, loss, identity, longing, and a sense of community. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" utilizes self-portraiture, still-lifes, and architecture to examine Banks' return to Syracuse. Many of the places that she had found solace in as a youth have now been demolished, abandoned, or gentrified. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" funnels the emotions associated with loss and change into works that reflect the conflicting realities and collateral damage that stem from the rapid changes Syracuse has undergone during the past decade.

Clayscapes Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Clayscapes is a tribute to clay's ubiquitous presence in our lives, and to the powerful metaphorical and spiritual role that it can play. The Everson's famous collection of ceramics is filled with works that explore the landscape—from artist Robert Arneson's monumental celebration of California's mountainous landscape to Uruguayan-born Lidya Buzio's earthy vessels adorned with the skyline of her adopted home in New York City. The collection contains many commercially produced souvenir plates and pitchers meant to commemorate and memorialize specific places. These wares are a distinctive part of the Museum's collection, and they provide inspiration for contemporary artists such as Paul Scott, who makes commemorative plates that reflect the ways that humans have altered the landscape and exploited its resources. As artists continue to shape clay, Clayscapes recognizes the ways in which clay shapes us. The Everson's ceramic collection is filled with work that documents the joys and sorrows of humankind's relationship with the Earth. This exhibition pays tribute to the powerful connection between artists and the world around them.

Another World Is Possible: Posters by Ricardo Levins Morales ArtRage Gallery
Price: Free ArtRage Gallery

Ricardo Levins Morales is an artist and organizer based in Minneapolis. He uses his art as a form of political medicine to support individual and collective healing from the injuries and ongoing reality of oppression. He was born into the anti-colonial movement in his native Puerto Rico and was drawn into activism in Chicago when his family moved there in 1967.

William Elliott Whitmore The 443 Social Club
The 443 Social Club
443 Burnet Ave.,
Syracuse
A man armed only with a banjo and a bass drum can be a formidable force, especially if his name is William Elliott Whitmore. With his powerful voice and honest approach, Whitmore comes from the land, growing up on a family farm in Lee County, Iowa. Still living on the same farm today, Whitmore has truly taken the time to discover where his center lies, and from that he will not be moved. Whitmore has repeatedly carved his own path, honoring the longstanding tradition of folk music throughout his nearly 20-year career, while always allowing his blues, soul and punk rock influences to shine through. Getting his first break opening for his friend's hardcore band with just a banjo in hand, he would discover bands like The Jesus Lizard, Bad Brains, Lungfish and Minutemen and soon learn to play his own brand of rural, roots music with that same DIY ethic. William Elliott Whitmore has been back and forth across the United States and to cities around the world. He's toured with such diverse acts as Frank Turner, Trampled By Turtles, Clutch, and Chris Cornell to name a few. He's appeared on some of the biggest stages around the world including Stagecoach Fest, Byron Bluesfest (Australia), and End of the Road Fest (UK). His willingness to take his show to any playing field has proved invaluable as he turned strangers to diehards with every performance.

The Everson's famous collection of ceramics is filled with works that explore the landscape—from artist Robert Arneson's monumental celebration of California's mountainous landscape to Uruguayan-born Lidya Buzio's earthy vessels adorned with the skyline of her adopted home in New York City. The collection contains many commercially produced souvenir plates and pitchers meant to commemorate and memorialize specific places. These wares are a distinctive part of the Museum's collection, and they provide inspiration for contemporary artists such as Paul Scott, who makes commemorative plates that reflect the ways that humans have altered the landscape and exploited its resources. As artists continue to shape clay, Clayscapes recognizes the ways in which clay shapes us. The Everson's ceramic collection is filled with work that documents the joys and sorrows of humankind's relationship with the Earth. This exhibition pays tribute to the powerful connection between artists and the world around them.

Paulina Velázquez Solís: Unseen/forgotten: Ode to the humble landscape Urban Video Project
Everson Museum of Art Plaza
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Unseen/forgotten: Ode to the humble landscape | Invisible/olvidado: Oda al paisaje humilde is a continuation of the project A river of all ages that Paulina Velázquez Solís developed during the pandemic. She found herself in a new environment in Brooktondale NY, surrounded by a creek where the change of pace and isolation brought via COVID accentuated the sound perception of the river, and its presence as a neighbor and living entity. This sonic connection was similar to her home in Costa Rica, which is also next to a river, making the sound experience of the river both grounding and nostalgic. This experience brought a new perspective not only in the sense of place through bodies of water but also in the creatures and plants that are particular to a place. Unseen/forgotten: continues these observations focusing on plants of Central New York natural areas that present a post-industrial natural wonder – where many species prevail after the severe deforestation through the end of the 19th century and the start of the 1900s, presenting through visuals, media performance and soundscapes, stories learned during the explorations of natural areas, and visits at the L. H. Bailey Hortorium Herbarium at Cornell University. Screening begins at dusk.

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.

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.

Fruits of Their Labor: Work and Leisure at the Syracuse University Art Museum Syracuse University Art Museum
Syracuse University Art Museum, Shaffer Art Building
Syracuse University,
Syracuse
"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.

"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.

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.

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.

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.

Cali M. Banks: I’ve Learned to Hold Myself Softly Everson Museum of Art
Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St.,
Syracuse
Cali M. Banks, whose ancestors are both Munsee Lenape and Scottish, recently returned to Syracuse, where she was born and raised. As an artist, Banks has long embraced photography as her medium of choice. Rather than embracing photography's objective or journalistic qualities, Banks seeks to personalize her work through a combination of alchemical processes and labor-intensive embellishment. The result is a body of work that balances nostalgia, loss, identity, longing, and a sense of community. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" utilizes self-portraiture, still-lifes, and architecture to examine Banks' return to Syracuse. Many of the places that she had found solace in as a youth have now been demolished, abandoned, or gentrified. "I've Learned to Hold Myself Softly" funnels the emotions associated with loss and change into works that reflect the conflicting realities and collateral damage that stem from the rapid changes Syracuse has undergone during the past decade.
