Currently on view, this exhibition highlights original prints by American artist Boris Margo. From early on, Margo had an innate impulse to recycle various materials to create artworks. The result of this curiosity was the invention of the cellocut process, a versatile medium that permits considerable freedom in one’s use of color and forms in their creations. A difficult medium to handle convincingly, this technique has proven to be challenging for many, resulting in only a few masters of the cellocut, including Margo and his wife, artist Jan Gelb.

“Presuppose that beyond this visible world, there is an invisible world striving to manifest, and it is our job to uncover it.” – Scott D. Miller

The Radical Collage: Afrosurrealism and the Repurposed Fabrication of Black Bodies is a political exhibition, by nature, seeking to reinvest itself within the uncanny depictions of Black bodies residing in distant pasts and presents via the cultural aesthetic and liberatory framework of Afrosurrealism.

Steered to cultivate an alternative perspective, the exhibition will explore notions of breaching consciousness via its contextualization within collage. Mirroring the selected artists, Ivan Forde and Suné Woods the curation of the exhibition utilizes a variety of methods and material which contribute to the inter-sectional navigation of narrative within sociopolitical issues surrounding the reality of being a Black body residing within our current society. Specifically focusing on the endured experiences and sensibilities of Black bodies, how do we cope with the trauma(s) induced by the modernization of the Black American? Is it through newfound skill at creating an entirely different world organically connected to the one in which we reside . . . or via the Black aesthetic in its actual contemporary lived life?

Dear Students, Faculty, Staff, and friends of Syracuse University,

We are writing to let you know that the CMAC - Coalition of Museum and Art Centers at Syracuse University stands with our students, and against bias and hate speech in all forms. We have institutionalized those goals in our strategic plan and state:

We believe that we live in a society where all individuals and all artists do not yet have the same opportunities. In order to address those inequalities, it will be the goal of the organizations within CMAC to equally represent and support artists of color, LGBTQ artists, artists with disabilities, and any other marginalized groups in
all our programs.

The CMAC facilities are safe spaces for everyone to share ideas, examine differences, and find common ground. We know that there are better days ahead, so please know that your friends in the arts stand by you as we work to make our world a better place.

On view through April 11, CORPUS: Juan Juarez.
Corpus examines the themes of decay and nothingness through a multi-media installation. A neglected residence becomes a symbolic metaphor for the gradual decay of the body and mind over time. While videos and photographs portray the inability to capture nothingness by mapping its ambiguous state through demarcation and indexing. Both themes explore the human desire to leave tangible remains, which creates the ambiance of physical existence.

The year 2018 marks 145 years of collecting artwork and objects of cultural heritage at Syracuse University. Over this time, the university has built a thriving, robust, and encyclopedic art collection of over 45,000 objects. The beginnings of the collection was quite similar to many other university collections or museums in the United States. In 1873, Dr. George Fisk Comfort, first dean of the College of Fine Arts, and founder of both the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Everson Museum of Art, secured several thousand dollars for the purchase of a series of plaster casts to be utilized as study objects by the university community. He also donated hundreds of prints and photographs acquired from his European travels. These works were foundational to the permanent collection as it has evolved into what it is today–both a traditional art gallery, as well as a teaching museum for students and faculty. With a current primary collecting focus on twentieth-century American art, especially the acquisition of contemporary graphic arts and works on paper, the collection has expanded to include diverse viewpoints that serve as objects of appreciation, research, and dialogue for students, faculty, alumni and the greater arts community in Syracuse, New York City and beyond.

The works on display in this exhibition highlight just a small portion of the growth that the permanent art collection has made over the past five years. Artwork included represents both gifts to the collection as well as purchases made by the curatorial staff that enhance the permanent collection and reflect the core principles of SUArt’s mission to collect, preserve, research and exhibit objects. As a result, these artifacts represent the greater art and cultural world, and are utilized not just for enjoyment as a visually pleasing object, but to help the Syracuse University Art Galleries achieve their vision to present and expose world-class arts to our community in order to spark enjoyment, interpretation and dialogue from visitors.

Gallery Hours:
Monday – Friday 10 a.m.- 6 p.m.
Saturday 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
