A New York Minute Poster

A New York Minute | Samantha Schein

Open Space Gallery
On view: March 26-April 20, 2024
Reception: Thursday, April 4, 4-6 p.m.

A New York Minute is a solo exhibition by Samantha Schein (SUNY Oneonta ’24) selected from the Gallery's semesterly Project Open Call that captures the essence of her New York City upbringing and her connection to its vibrant culture. Each photograph is a glimpse into the different layers of urban life where the photographer's lens channels what the city is about. A cohesive theme emerges as the story unfolds: journey past Times Square and see what else the city has to offer. With the lively and intimate energy of city streets, the photographs weave a story of the heart and soul of NYC. The grainy textures and vivid hues of the 35 mm film evoke something genuine, reflecting the authenticity of the lived experiences captured. Schein invites the audience to take part in the visual poetry of these moments, encouraging viewers to reflect on their own journey. Let the images serve as the beginning of the story of what the city is truly about, culture, life, and color, all existing beyond what meets the tourist eye.

Reception: Thursday, February 1, 2024, 4-6pm
(Inclement weather date: Thursday, February 8, 2024, 4-6pm)

Emotional Ties is a solo show of new work by Christine Schmitt (SUNY Oneonta '24) selected from the Gallery's semesterly Project Open Call. This collaborative exhibition, which includes supporting photographic works by Molly Seidl, features a wide range of Schmitt’s provocative crocheted art such as her 2D abstract wall works, 3D sculptures, wearables, and site-specific installations. Overall, this is an immersive experience where the viewer enters a cohesive and mostly abstract environment that asks you to consider texture, color, and shape in relation to the emotions they evoke. Schmitt offers guides in the form of emotive models dressed in the wearables that have since been combined into large-scale installations and in the presence and poses of her stuffed human-like sculptures. Enter this exhibition with an open mind and engage with the emotions that tie us all together.

Cabinets, Tree Stands, and a Few Fish Poster

CABINETS, TREE STANDS, AND A FEW FISH | LITHOGRAPHS BY TIMOTHY SHEESLEY

Martin-Mullen Gallery
On view: January 23 - March 9, 2024

Reception: Thursday, February 1, 2024, 5-7pm
(Inclement weather date: Thursday, February 8, 2024, 5-7pm)

Cabinets, Tree Stands, and a Few Fish is an exhibition of lithographs created over close to thirty years by Otego-based artist Timothy Sheesley (SUNY Oneonta '78). The work on view demonstrates his keen eye for detail and color and each print is an intuitive meditation on personal memory, lived experience, and the things we keep. The densely saturated colors encourage the viewer to look deeply and the cloying imagery plucks at the edge of the mind, reminiscent of half noticed details and objects infused with meaning. Desiccated cats, wooden monkeys, locks, fish, and more are placed above a simple but special cabinet. Each print is made in variations – the same design with different colors – as if the object or memory is being picked up, re-examined, and filtered through time.

The reception is Generously supported by the SUNY Oneonta Alumni Association.

Join us at the opening reception to enjoy a musical performance by the artist in addition to the artist talk.

Promotional Poster for Vestiges: Clayton Davis

Vestiges | Clayton Davis

Open Space Gallery
On view: October 17 - November 11, 2023

Reception: Thursday, November 9, 2023, 4-6pm

Vestiges, a solo exhibition by Clayton Davis (SUNY Oneonta ’24), is a show about the disintegration we all experience throughout our lifetimes, be it through the decay of relationships with family and friends, a fading memory, or the slow degradation of a rock turning to sand. These experiences can be found everywhere in the known universe and it’s important to not only realize this, but to celebrate it. Through his work, Davis hopes to show viewers personal and public examples of these inevitable occurrences so they can slowly begin to accept them and understand their inherent beauty and relation to our shared human experience. From a painting of a fading memory of a childhood home to photographs of old barns that are slowly falling down through disuse, he shows the mental, emotional, and physical sides of this quotidian phenomenon.

Promotional Poster for Richard Friedberg's Between Wind and Water

BETWEEN WIND AND WATER | RICHARD FRIEDBERG

Martin-Mullen Art Gallery
On view: August 22 - October 7, 2023

Reception: Thursday, September 7, 2023, 5-7pm

Between Wind and Water is a solo exhibition of sculptures by Jefferson, NY-based artist, Richard Friedberg. Friedberg's work pulls from photographs of large-scale, natural occurrences but instead of focusing on the narrative, he distills the images into an evocation of transient beauty. His choice of materials is an interesting, subtle contradiction; the scale and tone of the pieces suggest great weight, but they can be surprisingly light and ethereal. Careful, active viewing of his sculptures may also allow you to identify the subjects - the tornadoes, plumes of smoke, tidal waves, and windstorms that he transformed into abstractions of shape, color, and movement.

For Old Time’s Sake is a solo show by Stephanie Mallen (SUNY Oneonta ‘23) selected from Project Open Call. The exhibition is themed around the college student’s perspective of time and features thrifted/sourced clocks, paintings, wooden sculptures, mirrors, and other mixed media objects. As the viewer walks around the installation, they can’t help but reflect on the passage of time as their very movements mimic the motion of hands around an analog clock face. While doing so, they are encouraged to reflect on their own concepts of time and time management. This exhibition is funded, in part, by The Student Grant Program for Research and Creative Activity with faculty sponsor Wesley Bernard (SUNY Oneonta, Art).

A Rural Devotion | August Heminway

Open Space Gallery
On view: April 25 - May 20, 2023

Reception: Friday, April 28, 2023, 5-7:30pm

A Rural Devotion is a solo show by August Heminway (SUNY Oneonta ‘23) selected from Project Open Call for the Spring 2023 semester. This selection of photographs examines underfunded and/or overlooked volunteer fire departments who continue to dedicate themselves to a greater good. There is a devotion that must take place, different from that of paid personnel, to commit oneself to this lifestyle. The stories of these departments chronicle what Heminway believes to be a humanitarian cause: “It’s our neighbors, friends, and families.” The lack of resources these rural departments experience magnifies the power of their actions and choices. This exhibition is funded, in part, by The Student Grant Program for Research and Creative Activity with faculty sponsor Wesley Bernard (SUNY Oneonta, Art).

Skén:nen Modern Traditions by Karen Francis

Skén:nen | Modern Traditions by Karen Francis

Project Space Gallery
On view: February 28 - April 8, 2023

Reception: Thursday, March 2, 2023, 4-6pm

Karen Francis is a contemporary bead worker based in Akwesasne (Cornwall Island, Canada). Pulling from traditional Mohawk techniques and patterns, she creates modern jewelry and attire that reflect both her contemporary life and heritage.

Skén:nen (pronounced “skaw-nah”) is the Mohawk work for peace or serenity. According to the Kanien’kéha Language Initiative (Mohawk Dictionary): “Serenity helps peace flow from the inside to the outside. Tranquility aims to invite peace from the outside to the inside.” Francis creates by following this trio of prerequisites: peace, serenity, and tranquility. According to her, she beads for peace – to quiet her mind – but before she can bead, she must find serenity, or peace from within. Once she has achieved peace and serenity, she can experience tranquility, or peace from the outside that flows inside and exists all around.

Through this internal pattern, she builds brightly colored objects meant to be worn and celebrated, both as art and reflections of the self. In this show we’ve collected examples of her work including yokes (a beaded garment that sits on the shoulders), belts, beaded crowns, complete Pow Wow regalia, and other decorative pieces. Her art is a part of life, spreading skén:nen and adorning people in her community and beyond for both everyday life and special occasions.

Reception: Thursday, February 2, 2023, 5-7pm
Panel Discussion: Friday, February 3, 2023, 1-2pm
Curated by Ashley Cooper and Carrie Mae Smith (SUNY Oneonta, Art Department)

Milk Tongue is a group exhibition featuring five contemporary artists: Tirtzah Bassel, Madeline Donahue, Kyrin Hobson, Rose Nestler, and Suzanne Schireson. It challenges familiar archetypes of motherhood through artworks created by women who have practiced, are practicing, or may practice mothering—the messy, painful, embarrassing, and sometimes humorous experiences of bringing new life into the world. The artists in this exhibition use motherhood as a lens to examine historical and contemporary social issues (reproductive rights, capitalism, racism, freedom) and expand our understanding of the term "motherhood."

Plus, join us for a panel discussion on Friday, February 3 at 1pm in the Martin-Mullen Gallery. Moderated by curators Ashley Cooper and Carrie Mae Smith, hear from panelists Dr. Summer Cunningham (SUNY Oneonta, Communication & Media), Dr. Sallie Han (SUNY Oneonta, Anthropology), Kyrin Hobson (artist), Suzanne Schireson (artist), and Susan Weil (Bassett Healthcare Network, Oneonta) about the topics of reproduction, motherhood, gendered expectations, and the exhibition. This program was supported by the college senate committee on public events.

Black, White, & Full Color

Open Space Gallery
On view: January 24 - February 18, 2023

Reception: Thursday, February 2, 2023, 4-6pm

Black, White, & Full Color is an installation inspired by the concept of double consciousness and illustrates the questioning of societal interpretations of race and the practice of racialization through the lens of racelessness, an overview of contemporary and historical literature on the subject, and personal experience. Created by the Fall 2022 Writing About Literature (COMP-2045) class, taught by Dr. Sheena Mason (SUNY Oneonta, English), this exhibition pulls from modern literary sources like James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Paul Gilroy, and Frantz Fanon; contemporary artists like Glenn Ligon; and a critical engagement with the idea of race and practice of racialization. The students interpreted these contemporary and historical sources to engage with both the subject matter discussed in class and a historic topic that continues to be hotly debated today.

Searching for Balance Poster

Searching for Balance | Edward A. Burke

Martin-Mullen Gallery
On view: November 1 - December 17, 2022

Reception: Thursday, November 3, 2022, 5-7pm

Searching for Balance is a solo exhibition of work by Connecticut-based artist, Edward A. Burke. It deals with the delicate balance of our ecosystems, balancing narratives throughout a body of work, and the need for compositional balance within a work of art. Much of Burke’s work takes an empathetic and deeply personal view of one of the defining concerns of our time: climate change. It shows how the toys we played with as children have come back to us in the food we eat, how small choices like disposable coffee pods make a monumental impact, and most crucially, how all of this – the private and the public, the individual and the corporate – has grown into a global problem.

Angry King | Lonely King | The Beholder of Love Installation

Angry King | Lonely King | The Beholder of Love by Esteban Castro

Open Space Gallery
On view: October 1 - November 15, 2022

Reception: Thursday, October 20, 2022, 4-6pm

Angry King | Lonely King | The Beholder of Love is a three-panel mural created by SUNY Oneonta Senior, Esteban Castro. Over the course of two weeks, Castro painted this 10 x 45 foot original work on site at the Open Space Gallery. Referencing the long history of public murals and graffiti art, along with his personal experience in fashion design and drawing, he has created three unique pieces that speak to the self-harmful effects of unmitigated anger and the need for love and community to heal and grow. His style, while reminiscent of masters like Basquiat and Herring, is distinct and includes consistent patterns like dashed outlining within steady outlines, crowns, and a seeing heart that make this mural recognizably his.

Ainsley Burrows | The Maroons: Rebellion

The Maroons: Rebellion | Ainsley Burrows

Martin-Mullen Gallery
On view: August 30 - October 15, 2022

Reception: Thursday, September 1, 2022, 5-7pm

The Maroons: Rebellion is an exhibition of eleven works selected from Ainsley Burrows’ broader series of the same title. The Maroons: Rebellion series, his most prolific to date, includes 125 paintings about the fight for freedom by enslaved Africans in Jamaica. These works reveal a shared history that includes the harrowing journey of the Middle Passage, the resilience of the Maroons in their fight for freedom, and the cultural knowledge that was both retained throughout and adapted to these experiences. Ainsley Burrows is a Jamaican-born artist currently working in Baltimore, MD, and Brooklyn, NY. His work explores unwritten histories and the emotional expression of ancestry and contemporary experiences. In these works, he utilizes a technique that he has named “Neo-Chaos” to imprint the turbulence of what he perceives onto the canvas.

Rhea Nowak: Time and Again

Time and Again | Rhea Nowak

Project Space Gallery
On view: August 16 - October 1, 2022

Reception and Artist Talk: Thursday, September 8, 2022, 4-6pm

Time and Again is an exhibition of prints by Rhea Nowak, Professor of Art and Director of the Faculty Center. Showing work created over the course of the past several years, Time and Again is an exploration of memory, interrupted and restarted flow, questioning the relationships between mark and intention, and creating with an open mind and heart. Frequently impressed on handmade paper, Nowak’s prints often combine several printmaking processes. The juxtaposition of new and returning plates and blocks allow for connections over a breadth of time and experience. Many of her works incorporate tactile processes like sewing and collage in addition to the inherent physicality of printmaking. Taken together, this exhibition demonstrates the elasticity of time and the recurring themes in our experiences.
