Assembly: Syracuse University Voices on Art and Ecology Link
January 25 – May 12, 2024
Joe and Emily Lowe Galleries
Assembly features artworks made by Syracuse University faculty and recent alumni that contribute to emergent forms of ecological understanding. By placing these works in dialogue with objects from the Museum’s collection, the installation considers a broad cultural evolution from an environmentalism of the sublime to an ecology of intimacy.

James F. White Gallery
Curated by undergraduate art history majors, this exhibition highlights the Museum’s strong collection of postwar British art by focusing on the twilight years of Pop art in 1960s Britain.

Scriptorium con Safos: Syracuse Link
January 25 – May 12, 2024
Luise and Morton Kaish Gallery and Collection Galleries
Artist and art historian Josh T Franco stages a highly personal intervention in the Museum’s permanent collection galleries by developing the exhibition checklist and staging performances to activate the space. He takes on the fundamental method of compare and contrast, as championed by the nineteenth-century Swiss art historian Heinrich Wölfflin, in order to consider his place within the discipline. In doing so, he invites museum visitors, especially Syracuse University students, to consider their relationships to their fields of study.

The exhibition highlights the Museum’s great strengths in Mithila paintings, a collection that is one of the largest held by a university art museum in the United States. Made primarily by indigenous women artists living in the Bihar region of northeastern India, the included paintings trace not only an evolution in style but also shift in social engagement from the 1960s to the present.
