Summary
The aforementioned shows represent only a fraction of the group shows on display locally. Large shows took place at Auburn's Schweinfurth Memorial Art Center, the site for Made in New York 2008, featuring works by artists mostly from upstate New York, and the Everson, the venue for The Object and Beyond, the 2008 biennial exhibit and a well-done show. De Witt's Edgewood Gallery presented The Color of Light, featuring Laura Wilk's paintings, Carmel Nicoletti's glassworks, and bags and scarves created by Sherry Gordon.
The second show both honored the 2008 Light Work grant winners and also touched on the topic of memory. The grants went to Paul Pearce, whose photos delved into objects and their influence upon us; Kathy Morris, for images reflecting on her confrontation with serious illness; and Nancy Keefe Rhodes for her work on a project focusing on local photographer Marjory Wilkins. The Light Work exhibit displayed 37 of Wilkins' images, taken during a 40-year period. They deal with family relationships, the 15th Ward, once the epicenter of Syracuse's black community, and other topics.There were interesting solo shows as well: a retrospective of Rodger Mack's work at Stone Quarry HUI Art Park, Philia Changhi's one-woman show at Onondaga Community College, the Brian Wood Art Gallery's display of paintings by Dr. Ferdie Pacheco, and Brantley Carroll's The Whipping Post at the Community Folk Art Center.See the full content of this document
