John Knecht is the featured artist for the Urban Video Project in January and February. In conjunction with the exhibition of Deluge and Anima on the Everson's north façade, a series of Knecht's animations, called Fragments from the Wheels of Ezekiel, will be on view inside the Museum. The Fragments, individual animations displayed on monitors, provide a glimpse into the artist's brilliant imagination, where fantasy collides with vivid colors and quirky sounds. Knecht begins with detailed pencil and gouache drawings of dreamlike images and symbols that only exist in Knecht's imagined world. The images are then scanned into an electronic format where they can be altered, manipulated, and combined to create dynamic, stop-motion animations. Five original drawings will also be on view in the exhibition. Fragments is largely autobiographical, informed by Knecht's childhood memories of his Midwestern hometown where he attended elementary school in a church basement. Biblical references can be found throughout Knecht's animations, in this case, a fascination with the prophet Ezekiel and visions of wheels of fire. Knecht states, "Fragments from the Wheels of Ezekiel is a metaphor for the space where there's no logic-anything goes, there are no rules in that atmosphere."

John Knecht is the Russell Colgate Distinguished University Professor of Art & Art History and Film & Media Studies at Colgate University. After 30 years of teaching, he will retire in May, 2012.

Museum hours: 12-5 pm Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday; 10 am-5 pm Saturday; Closed Mondays.

From New York to Corrymore: Robert Henri and Irelandis the first exhibition to examine the American artist's work focused on the Irish landscape and people, particularly children, created between the time of his first trip to Ireland in 1913 and his last trip there in 1928. Long celebrated as an iconic American artist due to his important early work as a teacher and as the leader of The Eight, Henri's paintings have received less attention on their own. Most projects explored his career as it related to his role as a member of The Eight or in a broadly retrospective manner. Few projects focused on his landscapes, drawings, or foreign portraits. Henri's Irish portraits constitute his largest focused body of work, and often depict the same sitters year after year. These paintings offer a unique and fascinating window onto the genre about which Henri felt most strongly-portraiture-and also chart his experiments with paint handling and color theories over time. He wrote that the time spent in Ireland was extremely valuable to him (it was the only other place besides New York where he purchased a residence), for only there was he able to focus on his painting without the distractions of life in New York. It is not surprising, then, that the periods Henri spent in Ireland were among his most prolific, and the paintings produced there among his most accomplished. Just before his death, Henri composed a list of his most important paintings; many of the works on this list were his Irish subjects. Forty-one paintings of Irish people and landscapes will be on view in the upcoming exhibition.

Museum hours: Tue-Fri & Sun 12-5 pm; Sat 10 am-5 pm; Mon closed.

Animator and video artist, John Knecht's work is hand drawn, first with pencil on paper and then in Photoshop, focused on his admiration for the essential. DELUGE and ANIMA are made frame by frame, reflecting the artist's love of painting and the ability of the motion picture to sneak up on you. Knecht provides, in his words, "a modernist outlook at a postmodern apocalypse."

Urban Video Project (UVP) is a multimedia public art initiative of Light Work and Syracuse University in collaboration with Everson Museum of Art. The project operates electronic exhibition sites along the Connective Corridor in Syracuse, NY at Syracuse Stage and the Everson Museum of Art.

The 15th Ward was a Syracuse neighborhood bordering the Erie Canal. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it became one of the largest Jewish neighborhoods in upstate New York. Beginning in the 1940s, as Jewish residents relocated to the eastern suburbs, African Americans moved into the neighborhood building a thriving cultural area that included jazz clubs and churches. The 15th Ward met its end when the construction of Interstate 81 two state hospitals and the federal urban renewal program led to the demolition of most of the homes and businesses in the area and the removal of nearly all of the residents. This is an exhibition of photographs of Syracuse's 15th Ward. (In collaboration with and sponsored by the Graduate Program in Museum Studies at Syracuse University) The Erie Canal Museum is open daily with a suggested donation of $5. Monday to Saturday 10:00am-5:00pm, Sunday 10:00am-3:00pm
