PIECES OF SYRACUSE

Walking down Lodi Street, I find the remains of an old Brewery. Beside it is a garage encrusted with textures and colors. Some graffiti artists have tagged the wall high above it. Today is trash day in Syracuse and a few toys are thrown away down the block. Wow! Now I have everything I need to make a “neighborhood in a box.” In the final assemblage, I play with the idea of the truck driving right out of town…thinking all the while of all thousands of jobs and people that have left this City.

‘LURE OF THE LOCAL’ at the Everson Museum in Syracuse

I’m really looking forward to being one of the speakers, this Thursday night, October 18th. The presentation and group discussion begins at 6:30 PM. As the Everson describes it, “Culture, nature, and history form our sense of place. TONY: 2012 artists from Syracuse and the surrounding region (re)interpret, (re)imagine and problematize this relationship. If you are in town that night, please join us!
