Dead End
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Curated by William Strobeck, and featuring work by Larry Clark, Mark Gonzales, William Strobeck, Dash Snow, Ryan McGinley, EARSNOT IRAK, Ari Marcopoulos, Julien Stranger, Dave Schubert, Tobin Yelland, Jonathan Cannon, and Spike Jonze.

During the 1990s, a teen-aged William Strobeck spent a good part of his time on the Everson Museum's Community Plaza. Here, the young filmmaker and photographer discovered a skateboarding crew of "weirdos and outcasts" who introduced him to a global diaspora of creative individuals sharing a similar DIY ethos and punk rock spirit.

Fast forward 30 years and Strobeck is now one of the key chroniclers of skate culture in the 21st century. After first capturing Syracuse's skate scene in the 1990s, he now travels internationally to make videos and images that transcend skating's mere physical gymnastics. His work stands out for its beauty, emotional nuance, and psychological introspection.

For "DEAD END," Strobeck was invited to curate an exhibition that spoke to the Everson's history as a hospitable venue for skateboarding, which the museum has always considered a creative enterprise. Strobeck's exhibition, while including a few of his own works, focuses on the artists and events that indelibly shaped him as a burgeoning artist. Strobeck's vision is fundamentally about youth and its uncertainties, boundaries, possibilities, and essential limitlessness.?In unguarded and casual images, these subjects point to skate culture's influence on the popular culture of today—handheld skate videos are today's TikTok and Instagram reels, while the microcultures of Substack, Reddit, and Tumblr echo the DIY skatezines of the past.

DEAD END. is intentionally participatory and egalitarian. The free-for-all nature of skateboarding goes hand in hand with a worldview that repurposes the built environment for its own use. Part of the Museum's collection, a new sculpture by artist and professional skateboarder Mark Gonzales now awaits the skaters who still gather on the Everson Community Plaza today.

   

Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez: Dream Map and Cornucopia
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Nancy Friedemann-Sánchez is a Colombian American artist who explores her heritage through works that combine Colombia's material culture, history, and natural world. For the works featured in "Dream Map and Cornucopia," Friedemann-Sánchez begins with an image of a ceramic vessel that speaks to the complex history of Latin America and its diaspora. She then transforms these vessels into bountiful cornucopia, bursting with flora and fauna that evoke Colombia's rich ecosystems. Together with the Everson's Paul Phillips and Sharon Sullivan Curator of Ceramics, Garth Johnson, Friedemann-Sánchez has also selected an array of ceramic works from the Museum's permanent collection that reflect her interest in Latin America's tapestry of Indigenous and colonial cultures.

   

Off the Rack

"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.
