This week at the Everson! |
|
MONDAY!
Had it. Lost it. Syracuse was bathed in a glorious early spring for the past week. The clouds are back, and the temperature is dropping again reminding us that Mother Nature is in charge. For #MugshotMonday, enjoy this Sarah Pike (@SarahPikePottery) cup from the Rosenfield Collection, with its steely gray clouds to match our subdued mood. Pike, who lives and works in British Columbia hand builds her work out of beautifully incised earthenware slabs, then swathes them in creamy glazes that allow bits of the clay to peek through. For more of Sarah’s work, check out www.sarahpikepottery.com.

On View through May 2, 2021
Founded in 1923, the Scholastic Art Awards are the nation’s longest-running and most prestigious educational initiative supporting student achievement in the arts. Every year, students across the country in grades 7-12 are invited to enter original works of art into regional competitions, which are then judged by professional artists, educators, and photographers. The judges award first place (Gold Key), second place (Silver Key), honorable mentions, and special award honorees. Gold Key winners move on to compete at the national level, and a selection of Silver Key winners are displayed at the Everson. This year, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the exhibition moved online.

WEDNESDAY!
Turner’s distinct use of color and architectural abstraction is forefront in Blue Walls and Light. The rich ultramarine blue of two exterior building walls dominates the photograph. While vivid, the blue walls are not uniform in tone—the walls have subtle variations and texture. Turner introduced a hint of green to the blue color of one building’s windowsill and contrasted the cool tones with the deep, warm browns of both the window shutters and the neighboring building’s shingled roof. Turner allowed for a whisper of sunlight to peek between the two buildings, rendering the everyday structures abstract and peculiar. Blue Walls and Light is on display in Portal: The Window in American Photography, an exhibition that examines the formal and symbolic potential of windows. Click HERE to read more about Pete Turner.

FRIDAY!
On view through June 20, 2021
Brooklyn-based artist Steffani Jemison examines how knowledge is constructed and legitimized through work that includes video, sculpture, installation, and sound. Sensus Plenior is a study of language, gesture, and movement through the practice of pantomime in the Black church. The video features Reverend Susan Webb, leader of the Master Mime Ministry of Harlem, engaging in a sequence of choreographed gestures. By transforming the language of gospel songs into physical movements, Webb uses her body to channel the meaning and mystery of the Word.
Presented in conjunction with Urban Video Project’s exhibition Steffani Jemison: Figure 8, which runs from April 15 through June 5, 2021.

Thursday – Saturday | Dusk – 11:00pm
Light Work UVP | Everson Museum Plaza
Light Work’s Urban Video Project (UVP) program is pleased to present What Happened, a group show featuring the work of Luis Arnias, Simon Liu, and Zhou Tao that takes us on a tour of ambivalent landscapes in which it isn’t clear what already has or is about to happen, or even whether we find ourselves before, after, or during the event. Are we in a terrain of the mundane or the extraordinary? Autonomy or oppression? Recovery or impending disaster?
