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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Agent Double Y of Her Majesty's Service is on another high-stakes mission. The legendary Alchemists' Cauldron is set to be on display during a ceremony at the Sylvanian Consulate. Rumored to possess supernatural powers, the Cauldron is sought by every bad guy around the globe. Who will make the right moves? Who will be taken off the board? The European crime boss? The Texas-sized American politician? The back-stabbing reporter? Or will Double Y come to the rescue again and keep the Cauldron from falling into the wrong hands?
