NOTES FROM THE DIRECTOR As we prepare for a new semester and the activities of a new year, 2016, we have an opportunity to reflect on what transpired this past year. In part, we look to build upon what we began in 2015, improve upon our performance where we may have lacked last year and attempt to be more effective with our programming moving forward. Much of what we achieved last year with the opening of our new collection galleries, the publications to celebrate the collection and our active series of exhibitions, remind us that much of what we do can be characterized as outreach.

ADVANCED CURATORSHIP/COLLECTION THE STUDY GALLERY APRIL 7 – MAY 15, 2016
[RE]FRAMED:
An Object’s Journey into the Collections It may appear perfectly normal to walk into the Syracuse University Art Galleries and see framed works of art beside crisp white labels, but have you ever wondered how they got there? In order to answer this very question, a team of twelve graduate student curators worked closely with SUArt Galleries’ staff and Dr. Edward Aiken, coordinator of the Graduate Program in Museum Studies. The resulting exhibition, [Re] Framed: An Object’s Journey into the Collections, uses recently accessioned works in the Syracuse University Art Collection and the Syracuse University Libraries to explain the curatorial process that is central to every display. By dividing the exhibition into four categories titled Acquire, Preserve, Exhibit, and Interpret, the curators illustrate the complex process behind each object’s inclusion in an exhibition. Although the curatorial team could explain the entire exhibition process by focusing on a single art object, a wider range of works has given them the opportunity to describe it in greater depth. All the objects follow a similar process as they become part of an exhibition, but there are differences in how each is acquired, preserved, exhibited and interpreted. If we look closely at each of these four facets, the variations begin to emerge. In the first category, Acquire, the curators explain several different ways that a work can enter the collection, including purchases or gifts from donors. Regardless of the method of acquisition, the SUArt Galleries accepts full responsibility for each object’s care once it is formally accepted into the collection. In Preserve, the curators explain why each object must be kept safe from environmental hazards to preserve its condition. These preservation concerns require certain types of storage and handling that vary with each object’s medium. Successful preservation helps ensure that an art object can be safely exhibited and be available for future generations. Exhibit describes how proper framing, lighting and overall display, keep works of art safe during an exhibition. Once again, different mediums or types of art require specific considerations. At the most basic level these display methods are separated into frames, stands, and vitrines, but each system often needs to be adapted to specific object concerns. In the final category, the curators address one of the most important aspects of their profession: Interpretation. When curators interpret a work, they must explain the object’s significance in a way that also leaves room for the viewers’ own thoughts and opinions. Additionally, curators must choose and follow a specific framework or narrative in order to convey the object’s greater historical and aesthetic significance. These four categories are key to the development of each exhibition, but are in many ways transparent and as a result taken for granted by museum visitors. Since the curatorial process mostly happens behind closed doors, [Re] Framed: An Object’s Journey into the Collections gives visitors the opportunity to peek into the specialized world of museum work and see the metaphorical life of an art object unfold.

THE PALITZ SCHOLARS/EDUCATION The Louise and Bernard Palitz Art Scholar was established in 2011 to support deserving graduate students in Art History or Museum Studies at Syracuse University by longtime SUArt Galleries supporters Louise Beringer Palitz ‘44 and her husband Bernard. For over 25 years the Palitz’s have supported our activities in a variety of ways including donating important works of art, underwriting exhibitions and publications, and funding the renovation of the SUArt Galleries’ New York City Gallery at Syracuse University Lubin House.

The prints in this exhibition examine subjects similar to his paintings, but offer different insights, often reflecting the print medium’s particular visual and technical characteristics of line and tone. 9
