FROM THE DIRECTOR
Domenic J. Iacono Director, SUArt Galleries Once again the Syracuse University Art Galleries is preparing for an exciting season of exhibitions that include contemporary American and international art and artists, 19th and 20th century master works, and a wide array of media.
Main Campus displays Beginning November 10 we will display Sources and Structures: the Art of Robert Stackhouse. Well-known for the development of iconic images including the serpent, the ship and lath-sided architectural structures, this exhibition helps track the growth of his art through a retrospective view of his work from the early 1970s to earlier this decade. Stackhouse moves among various media, such as painting, sculpture, and printmaking, with such alacrity that viewers often wonder if he is a painter who makes sculpture, or a sculptor who excels at making two-dimensional objects. The artwork chosen for this exhibition deal with themes of time and space by examining relationships between recognizable forms that share a common use, heritage, or mystique. Quite often these investigations identify associations or combinations such as the Viking ship, which has become a signature object for the artist, and its relationship to passage, innovation and nature. Stackhouse will also use pairings, such as the Viking ship and a whale or snake, to help create, or further a metaphor such as speed, massiveness, and primal fear. He taps into our understanding and beliefs about these objects and the iconic nature of these forms. This exhibition is being developed from a very large collection of works owned and maintained by the John and Maxine Belger Family Foundation in Kansas City and will explore how Stackhouse builds sculptures and makes images that identify the rich affinities between human designs and biological anatomy. On November 17, 2011, we will bring the artist to campus for a lecture where he and collaborator Carol Mickett will talk about their newest work‌ check our website for more information about the event.

EXHIBITION
FEATURED EXHIBITIONS:
TH E WA R E HO U S E G A L L ERY international contemporary art center
Artist Deng Guo Yuan working in his studio Tianjin, China
The November exhibition at the Warehouse Gallery highlights the work of Chinese artist Deng Guo Yuan. His exhibition will include numerous ink paintings and a sculpture that were first on view at the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts Museum. For the Warehouse Gallery’s venue, Deng Guo Yuan will recreate portions of his installation in Tianjin and will add a new ink painting, produced on site. Deng Guo Yuan’s work reflects the tradition of Chinese landscape painting and his profound knowledge of international contemporary aesthetics. The Warehouse Gallery’s Vault display area will feature French filmmaker Pierre Creton’s film Deng Guo Yuan (2010), which meticulously documents the creation of one of Deng Guo Yuan’s ink paintings in his Tianjin studio. While widely exhibited in China and Europe, this is the artist’s first solo exhibition in the United States. Programming will include a conversation with the artist focusing on the place of ink painting in contemporary China. The Window Projects installation by Ithaca-based Elisabeth Meyer responds to Deng Guo Yuan’s work through the large fabrics she created in India in the summer of 2011. Earlier this fall the Warehouse Gallery presented Colorfornia: New Forms in West Coast Street Art. Placing street art (by definition a public art form) in the more formal space of an art gallery offered the opportunity for a new perspective on the role and place of street art. For Colorfornia: New Forms in West Coast Street Art, San Francisco-based street artists Apex, Chor Boogie, and Jet Martinez created temporary murals for the Gallery. Their work is based on improvisation, collaboration, and the idea that a focus on strong colors, patterns and urban imagery is indelibly Californian. All three artists have contributed significantly to public art in San Francisco, San Diego, and other major cities nationally (Minneapolis and Washington D.C.) and internationally (Beijing, Dubai, Sydney, and Tokyo). Cuban-born, Syracuse-based artist Oscar Garcés’ site-specific mural in the Window Projects space offered a local echo to Colorfornia. Programming included a lecture by the artists, a round-table discussion on public art, and musical performances featuring hip-hop and street dancing. The exhibitions were organized in conjunction with the Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations in Syracuse.
NOTES FROM THE DIRECTOR CONTINUED Also on view until November 20 is A Magnificent Obsession: Selections from the Hamilton Armstrong Collection of Prints in the East gallery. While only a fraction of the number of works he collected (see Spotlight on the Collection, pg. 12) are being exhibited, this show demonstrates two areas of great interest to Mr. Hamilton Armstrong. First is the area of architectural etching that began in 19th century Europe and continued into 20th century American and British printmaking. The artists Mr. Armstrong collected in significant numbers are Charles Meryon, John Taylor Arms, Samuel Chamberlain and Henry Rushbury. The second part of the display is a series of wood engravings done by Fritz Eichenberg for a reprint of Emily Bronte’s classic novel, Wuthering Heights. Of course the exhibition will also display Mr. Armstrong’s generosity to the Syracuse University community. We are also displaying in our Print Study Room a complementary exhibition of architectural prints from other important collections at the SUArt Galleries including work from the Cloud Wampler Collection, the Harold Jalonack Collection, and the Harry and Maria Wickey Collection. This display features the work of Charles Meryon, James A. M. Whistler, and John Taylor Arms. In our Photography Study Room we are highlighting the generosity of another important benefactor of the arts at Syracuse University by displaying Art in the Detail: Photographs from the Syracuse University Art Collection. This show presents a selection of works gifted by Robert Menschel, well known for his photography collection, many of which have never been seen in a Syracuse exhibition. Art in the Detail investigates how photographers intentionally capture a once in a lifetime view that is also highly detailed and aesthetically beautiful. Our Gallery of American Art examines native landscape imagery in an exhibition called Taking Measure: The American Landscape 1850-1955, a period when the subject was experiencing a series of cathartic changes; some caused by physical alterations, and others that were a result of changing aesthetics and philosophy. This display will remain on view for the entire year. Shortly after we premiere the Stackhouse show we will also open an exhibition dedicated to the art of Emilio Sanchez. A Cuban born American artist, Sanchez was barely acknowledged in his native country but the colors and forms of the sun drenched Caribbean island were never far from his thoughts or his art. This exhibition will draw upon a recent gift of a complete collection of his graphic art that was donated to Syracuse University by the Emilio Sanchez Foundation. As part of this gift the foundation also gave Syracuse a selection of his paintings and drawings to help us more fully understand his approach to art. If you missed our exhibition Drawn to Paint: The Art of Jerome Witkin earlier this semester, a version of it will be traveling to the Palmer Museum of Art in State College, Pennsylvania in early 2013. The exhibition was curated by Dr. Edward (Teddy) Aiken, a long-time colleague of Jerome’s in the School of Art and Design and celebrates Witkin’s career as a professor at Syracuse where he is as appreciated for his knowledge of drawing, painting and art history as for his skill with the brush. Witkin brings all of this knowledge art to bear in the classroom studio where he encourages and critiques his students. It consists of works that span nearly all forty years of Witkin’s tenure at Syracuse and includes drawings, paintings, and sketchbooks.

EXHIBITION The artwork included in the show cames from galleries, private collections and museums around the country. Notable institutional lenders include the Munson-William-Proctor Art Institute in Utica, the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester, the Everson Museum in Syracuse, the Palmer Museum of Art in State College, Pennsylvania, and Jack Rutberg Fine Arts in Los Angeles, CA. We are especially grateful to Mrs. Barbara Palmer of College Park, Pennsylvania for her generous contribution to help fund the catalog for the exhibition. Her gift has helped make this lasting record of the exhibition even more remarkable. Copies of the book are available in the Galleries gift shop.
At the Warehouse
Sarah Trad, Untitled, 2011 (video documentation of Apex, Chor Boogie, and Jet Martinez during the installation)
As always the Warehouse Gallery exhibits the work of artists whose work engages the community in a dialogue regarding the role the arts can play in illuminating contemporary issues. Early in the semester we exhibited Colorfornia: New Forms in West Coast Street Art that featured the work of California-based street artists Apex, Chor Boogie, and Jet Martinez. Their work is based on improvisation, collaboration, and the notion that how and what they paint is recognizably Californian in its focus on strong colors, patterns, forms, and nature. Their language consists of colorful abstract forms pertaining to optical illusions and movement, faces, evoking real and imaginary urban settings, and tropical imaginary landscapes. This month we will exhibit the work of Chinese artist Deng Guo Yuan. His exhibition at the Warehouse Gallery will include numerous ink paintings and a sculpture that were first on view at the Tianjin Academy of Fine Arts Museum. For the Warehouse Gallery’s venue, Deng Guo Yuan will recreate portions of his installation in Tianjin and will add a new ink painting, produced on site.
At the Palitz Gallery We started off the new exhibition year at the Louise and Bernard Palitz Gallery at Lubin House in New York City with an exhibition featuring the work of two School of Art and Design faculty members, Roger DeMuth and John Thompson. These long time members of the Department of Art specialize in illustration and the exhibition of their work focused on travel images. Thompson’s work featured images in a variety of media that highlighted recent trips to India while DeMuth displayed work that was inspired by his recent travels. In October we opened The Prints of Seong Moy exhibition that was recently displayed in our main campus galleries. Seong Moy is an important printmaker who, throughout his career, imbued his prints with the same energy and liberating attitude that he appreciated at S. W. Hayter’s Atelier 17 and during his study with Hans Hoffman. In the nearly two hundred prints that he created during his very active career, Moy’s success was grounded in a solid foundation of rigorous training and a keen sense of design. We will end 2011 at the Palitz Gallery with an exhibition of tintype photographs by Keliy Anderson-Staley. Last summer she was an artist-in-residence at Light Work and was invited back for an exhibition of her work this year.
EDUCATION
THE PALITZ ART SCHOLAR The Syracuse University Art Galleries is fortunate to have among its patrons and supporters Louise and Bernard Palitz. More than 25 years ago they made their first gifts to the University Art Collection and since that time have supported our activities in numerous ways. Whether it has been a gift to help underwrite the publication of a catalog, funds to help us operate the gallery in New York City that bears their name, or as the major sponsor of our 2008 Michelangelo exhibition, Mr. and Mrs. Palitz have been very generous to us. Most recently they established a scholarship that will support deserving graduate students in Art History or Museum Studies at Syracuse. It is with great pleasure that we announce the first two Louise and Bernard Palitz Art Scholars, Sara Berkovec and Michael Perekrestov. Sara Berkovec is in her second year of the Masters in Museum Studies Program at Syracuse University. Originally from Washington D.C., she received her B.A. in History with a Minor in Art History from Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. At Syracuse University, she has a graduate assistantship with the SUArt Galleries working as a Registrar’s assistant. Her duties include preparing artwork that will be on loan as part of the Traveling Exhibitions Program and recording information about recent additions to the permanent collection. Sara has also worked on installations and exhibition design work for the Design Gallery at the Warehouse and at XL Projects, as well as helped with the planning phases of the 2011 SU Showcase. Currently, she is enrolled in the Advanced Curatorship course that is collectively curating an exhibition to be presented at the SUArt Galleries in December. This past summer Sara interned at the National Museum of African Art, Smithsonian Institution, and hopes that after her graduation in May she will be able to return to the Washington D.C. area and find a job within the Smithsonian Institution, preferably in museum registration. Michael Perekrestov, a native of San Francisco, has begun his second year working as a Graduate Assistant at the SUArt Galleries and is concurrently pursuing master’s degrees in Museum Studies and in Library Science. As an undergraduate at Dominican University of California, he majored in Digital Art and minored in Music and Art History. At SUArt Galleries, Michael’s main projects include digitizing the collection and assisting in graphic and web design. He enjoys working at the SUArt Galleries because of the hands-on experience, applying what he learns in his Museum Studies courses to a real-world setting. Two recent summer internships, one with the Conservation Department at the National Air and Space Museum and another with the Library of Congress in the Rare Books and Special Collections Division, have provided Michael with additional practical experience in the subjects that he is studying at Syracuse University. His main areas of interest are in collections management, archival work, and rare books and library special collections, and he hopes to find employment in one of these areas upon graduation.

EDUCATION
Creating Museum Professionals Amber Strachan At Syracuse University, students in the Museum Studies Graduate Program have a unique opportunity to gain real world experience at the Syracuse University Art Galleries (SUArt). As a student in the program, I was very fortunate to receive a Galleries Graduate Assistantship that enabled me to utilize the skills I learned in the classroom while gaining invaluable hands-on experience. My work with the staff on several exhibitions gave me practical experience in the entire exhibition process, from initial planning through deinstallation. For example, while working with an exhibition’s preparatory stages, I was able to participate in research and development associated with curating, prepare condition reports, exhibition checklists, label copy, matting and framing objects, lighting, and crating. Other work opportunities honed my public speaking and writing skills. From guiding tours to writing newsletter segments and press releases, I was given challenging assignments that would enhance my abilities, as well as my resume. By far, though, the largest project I worked on over the past year was the department’s annual Campus Loan Inventory. I accounted for the more than 2000 objects installed in over 25 buildings on campus. Each piece was inventoried, cleaned, and noted for any issues needing attention. The basic skills of the inventory are important for any work within a museum collection, but perhaps this project benefited me most by strengthening my professional communication skills in constant interaction with the University’s staff. Out of everything I have learned working with SUArt, increasing my confidence is by far the most important. The staff not only taught me the daily routine of museum work, but with their support and belief in my abilities, I was able to develop confidence to call myself a Museum Professional.

EDUCATION
Programs and Events Continuing our commitment to engage the Syracuse community through our exhibitions and art collection, the SUArt Galleries hosts numerous events throughout the year that attract a wide variety of patrons. Ranging from gallery concerts to artist lectures and specially designed children’s activities, the SUArt Galleries strives to develop programming that connects with its large and diverse audience. SUArt Kids is an interactive art experience in the Galleries that includes guided exhibition tours and art related stories for children and families. This past spring, SUArt Kids focused on the concept of identity through the exhibition Infinite Mirror: Images of American Identity. In the gallery, children, students and parents were asked to engage with works of art created by artists of Latin, Chinese, and Arab American descent, and were confronted by what it means to be an ‘American’ today.

Its mission is to promote student composers and performers in the Setnor School of Music, providing opportunities for composers to have their works performed in concert. Excerpts from these performances can be found online at suart.syr.edu. For the exhibition MFA 2011, the SUArt Galleries featured over 20 musicians from the graduate and undergradute programs in the Setnor School of Music, extending the annual MFA exhibition to include the performing artists in the College of Visual and Performing Arts. We are excited to feature multiple performances from Cantus Novus and the Masters candidates from the Setnor School of Music in our 2011/2012 exhibition season.

COLLECTION
Collection Spotlight A Magnificent Obsession: Selections from the Hamilton Armstrong Collection of Prints In the early 19th century, printmaking was used by very few artists as an original art form. The reproductive qualities of printmaking, that is the ability to make many hundreds or thousands of similar images in a quick and inexpensive manner, had trumped the more intimate and handmade qualities that attracted Rembrandt and his contemporaries. Not until the emergence of William Blake, Corot, Goya, Charles Meryon, and others, did an etching revival take place and other artists began to actively investigate the unique qualities of the hand printed image. We are fortunate that Hamilton Armstrong also appreciated these distinctive characteristics and amassed a very interesting collection of Charles Meryon etchings. A French artist championed by the great writers Victor Hugo and Charles Baudelaire, Meryon (1821-1868) had produced a series of etchings that depicted a changing Parisian landscape and, in turn, captured the imagination of a number of English and American printmakers who appreciated his accurate renderings of urban scenes. Even Whistler was compared to Meryon when the American ex-patriot finished his ‘Thames Set’ of London urban scenes in 1861. Hamilton Armstrong delighted in the extraordinary scenes that Meryon created and over the years acquired architectural etchings by John Taylor Arms, Samuel Chamberlain, and Henry Rushbury...other artists inspired by the 19th century master.
Jacques Callot, Vue au Pont-Neuf, 1630
Also on view as part of our celebration of the Hamilton Armstrong Collection of Prints is a selection of Fritz Eichenberg’s wood engravings for Wuthering Heights. These images are proof prints for the 1943 Random House edition of Emily Brontë’s novel and have been considered some of best illustrations to the 19th century classic because they capture the drama of author’s text without adding superfluous material. At the same time, Eichenberg’s mastery of the medium is immediately recognized. This complete collection of illustrations to the archetypal gothic novel will be an invaluable resource to students of art and literature alike. Special thanks to ‘Ham’ Armstrong for his gift of these works and the many others that recently arrived on campus as part of his collection. This collection will provide wonderful opportunities to our students for many different kind of study.
COLLECTION
RECENT ACQUISITIONS Selections from the Hamilton Armstrong Collection of Prints An American architectural etcher John Taylor Arms (1887-1953) made prints throughout the first half of the 20th century and was often moved by Meryon’s prints. In fact, Arms made his own etching of the gargoyle ‘Le Stryge,’ made famous by Meryon in his 1853 etching of the same subject, but the American artist called it The Thinker (Le Penseur.) Arms called Meryon’s work “…sensitive, imaginative, and deeply spiritual expressions of architectural form and meaning.” left: John Taylor Arms, Le Penseur de Notre Dame, 1923 below: Samuel Chamberlain, Summer Shadows, 1940
Samuel Chamberlain’s views of European cities and landmarks were often published in Century and Architectural Record magazines. During his 50-year career, Chamberlain made trips to Europe producing more than 200 prints including lithographs, etchings, and drypoints that often depicted the changing landscapes of the ‘old world’ cities.
Henry Rushbury, The Debtor’s Prison, York, 1933
The artist Henry Rushbury (1889-1968) was part of a British etchers movement in which architectural subjects played an all-important role and for whom Meryon was also an inspiration. Along with Meryon, Chamberlain and Arms, Rushbury found an audience for his images that documented the changes to the urban landscape. Each of these artists were witnesses to different types of change, Meryon saw the urban renewal of Louis Napoleon, while the others saw war and natural forces as a major catalyst for change.
