OPENING RECEPTION NOVEMBER 19, 2009 5 - 8 P.M.

Douglas Kinney Frost (music director, Syracuse Opera) and Zach Martin (singer, Syracuse Opera) will perform selections by Johann Sebastian Bach at 6 p.m.

Mein gläubiges Herze, frohlocke – BWV 68 J.S. Bach
Bist du bei mir – BWV 508 J.S. Bach

 

With the assistance of Syracuse University students, Brooklyn-based artist Alyson Shotz will create her works on-site, thus turning The Warehouse Gallery into a form of laboratory. Best known for sculptures made out of everyday materials that address issues of space, light, volume, time, and movement, Shotz’s use of steel wire and colorful thread or yarn is a means of combining sculpture with drawing. Strikingly beautiful, her wire sculptures and wall drawings project optical experiences where questions of perception and misperception lead to further examination of the impact of twenty-first century technology on the arts.

The artist will give a lecture on the role of light in her works on Thursday, February 4, 2010.  In partnership with the Everson Museum of Art.

Alyson Shotz: Drawing Through Space is made possible with generous support from Francis H. Williams. Additional support for the lecture is provided by the Syracuse University Sculpture Program.
