Laurent Craste: Iconoclasts
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

"Iconoclasts" marks the American museum debut for French-born Canadian ceramist Laurent Craste. Over the past decade, Craste has committed a wide range of indignities and abuse against his ornate vases and urns, including pummeling them with baseball bats and crowbars and piercing them with arrows. Despite the violence that runs through his work, Craste has a great passion for historical porcelain. Working with porcelain allows Craste to explore the prestige and power of upper-class society, but also inequality and the strain that is placed on working people. The anthropomorphic nature of Craste's vases echoes the human body, making it no surprise that people feel strong emotions when seeing a helpless vase struck by a baseball bat. Triggering these strong emotions in his audience allows Craste to connect on a deeper level as he asks questions about class, money, and power.

Realities Within presents four enduring genres of artmaking to explore how artists shape, frame, and inhabit the world. Whether a landscape, cityscape, still life, or representation of the human body, these works show how each artist's reality is impacted by their lived experience. Separated by genre and installed "salon-style" — a term inspired by the 18th and 19th century Paris Salons, where paintings were hung from floor to ceiling, covering every inch of wall space — the dense arrangement invites close looking and visual comparison, encouraging viewers to find connections across time, style, and subject matter.

A Long Look: Documentary Photography, 1888-2016
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

A Long Look: Documentary Photography, 1888-2016 traces more than a century of photographers turning their lenses toward the world as witnesses, advocates, and storytellers. From the late 19th century, when advances in camera technology first allowed photographers to record spontaneous moments, to the bold and colorful images of today, documentary photography has shaped how people see the world, both its past and its present.

Documentary photographers traditionally immerse themselves in their subjects. Bruce Davidson spent 10 days living in the mining communities of South Wales producing his Welsh Miners portfolio. Aaron Siskind's Harlem Document project plays out over nine years, showing the vibrant life of Black Americans in Harlem in the 1930s. Donna Ferrato has spent decades documenting survivors of domestic violence and advocating for their welfare. Documentary photographers reveal how sustained engagement with their subjects, over ten days or several decades, produces images that challenge stereotypes, humanize the unfamiliar, and deepen public understanding.

A Long Look invites viewers to consider the significance of documentary photography as a medium, asking how photographs shape collective memory and inspire social awareness. Documentary photographers must often navigate the tension between art and journalism, frequently occupying a grey area between the two.

Project Vortex is an international collective of artists, designers, and architects actively focusing on the global problem of plastic pollution through their art. Curated by founding member Aurora Robson, this exhibition features a selection of works by Project Vortex members who are sequestering post-industrial and post-consumer plastic into works of art.

The world produces an estimated 360 million metric tons of plastic waste annually. Only approximately 9% of plastics are actually recycled globally. Current research reveals that microplastics are present in the bodies of virtually all humans. Operating at the intersection of art and science, Project Vortex strives to inspire people to rethink and reinvent plastic debris through innovation, creative stewardship, and education. Dedicated to improving global understanding of the impacts of plastic consumption and pollution, Project Vortex works to restrict the flow of plastic debris into the oceans and subsequently into the bodies of humans and animals.

Sisterhood, stirring songs, and spectacular adventure.

In the Kingdom of Arendelle, Anna and Elsa enjoy a sheltered royal life, as they prepare to one day inherit a throne that is rightfully theirs. But when Elsa's budding powers almost lead to tragedy, she's forced to bury her icy talents — until they erupt, unleashing an eternal winter that threatens to destroy everything she loves. Determined to save her home and her sister, Anna ventures into the treacherous storm, where she must reunite with Elsa if she ever hopes to thaw the cold hearts intent on keeping them apart. A story of sisterhood and embracing your true self, Disney's majestic musical riff on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" is a thrilling theatrical event with stirring songs, spectacular adventure, and one magical snowman.

Music and lyrics by Kristen Anderson Lopez and Robert Lopez, book by Jennifer Lee.

In "On Love," photographers Daniela Groza Pop and Ioana Groza Pop invite the viewer into their life together, in order to have a conversation about the need for trust and care. This need exists for the artists in direct relationship to the country they live in, Romania — a country that hasn't yet recognized queer citizens as full citizens. The artists consider themselves queer visual activists who assume the responsibility of depicting joy and love by way of self-portraiture, showing us queer lives that are varied and beautiful, in addition to the uphill battle for recognition.

A Long Look: Documentary Photography, 1888-2016 traces more than a century of photographers turning their lenses toward the world as witnesses, advocates, and storytellers. From the late 19th century, when advances in camera technology first allowed photographers to record spontaneous moments, to the bold and colorful images of today, documentary photography has shaped how people see the world, both its past and its present.

Documentary photographers traditionally immerse themselves in their subjects. Bruce Davidson spent 10 days living in the mining communities of South Wales producing his Welsh Miners portfolio. Aaron Siskind's Harlem Document project plays out over nine years, showing the vibrant life of Black Americans in Harlem in the 1930s. Donna Ferrato has spent decades documenting survivors of domestic violence and advocating for their welfare. Documentary photographers reveal how sustained engagement with their subjects, over ten days or several decades, produces images that challenge stereotypes, humanize the unfamiliar, and deepen public understanding.

A Long Look invites viewers to consider the significance of documentary photography as a medium, asking how photographs shape collective memory and inspire social awareness. Documentary photographers must often navigate the tension between art and journalism, frequently occupying a grey area between the two.

Realities Within
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

Realities Within presents four enduring genres of artmaking to explore how artists shape, frame, and inhabit the world. Whether a landscape, cityscape, still life, or representation of the human body, these works show how each artist's reality is impacted by their lived experience. Separated by genre and installed "salon-style" — a term inspired by the 18th and 19th century Paris Salons, where paintings were hung from floor to ceiling, covering every inch of wall space — the dense arrangement invites close looking and visual comparison, encouraging viewers to find connections across time, style, and subject matter.

Sisterhood, stirring songs, and spectacular adventure.

In the Kingdom of Arendelle, Anna and Elsa enjoy a sheltered royal life, as they prepare to one day inherit a throne that is rightfully theirs. But when Elsa's budding powers almost lead to tragedy, she's forced to bury her icy talents — until they erupt, unleashing an eternal winter that threatens to destroy everything she loves. Determined to save her home and her sister, Anna ventures into the treacherous storm, where she must reunite with Elsa if she ever hopes to thaw the cold hearts intent on keeping them apart. A story of sisterhood and embracing your true self, Disney's majestic musical riff on Hans Christian Andersen's "The Snow Queen" is a thrilling theatrical event with stirring songs, spectacular adventure, and one magical snowman.
