 THE WAREHOUSE GALLERY commissions artists in Central New York to fill the Window Projects Gallery on W. Fayette St. This is a high profile exhibit space visible 24/7, and lit throughout the night. It was created in 2006 as part of the Gallery's ongoing commitment to bringing CNY artists' work to Syracuse in an effort to engage the community in a dialogue regarding the role the arts can play in illuminating critical issues of our life and times. |

ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
OPENING RECEPTION: 19 NOVEMBER 5–8 P.M. TH3 NIGHT For the Windows Projects at The Warehouse Gallery Lynette K Stephenson created an installation about New Orleans consisting of sixty hand felted wool dunce caps. This exhibition is inspired by John Kennedy Toole's novel A Confederacy of Dunces (1980) set in New Orleans (LA), where Stephenson's family home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina, and based on her previous body of paintings, The Red Cross Series, which led to the idea for this site-specific project. In this work Stephenson engages in a dialogue about present-day social issues referring to New Orleans, the tragedy of the Hurricane, and the universal symbol of the Red Cross.
