It Came from the '70s
Everson Museum of Art

Everson Museum of Art
401 Harrison St., Syracuse

The 1970s were a time of radical change in the field of ceramics. Artists began to grasp clay's potential when it came to Conceptual Art, Minimalism, Land Art, Performance Art, and other movements of the era.

In the wake of the 1960s, artists felt free to use humor for self-expression, shock value, or to serve as a "spoonful of sugar" to deliver a message. While the 1970s are usually seen as a time of wild individual expression, the decade also saw the development of a network of galleries and collectors that would ultimately professionalize the field and develop grudging respect from the fine art world. "It Came From the '70s" features groovy works from the Everson collection that tell these stories.

   

In Secrecy: New Works by Jaleel Campbell
ArtRage Gallery

Price: Free
ArtRage Gallery
505 Hawley Ave., Syracuse

"In Secrecy" will explore the experiences of out, discreet, and DL Black men in the gay community and what toll that takes on the psyche over time. Unlearning our natural instinct to operate in secret is half the battle. Homophobia in the Black community continues to run rampant. Growing up under these constraints forces queer youth to assimilate – to prevent drawing attention to their mannerisms, interests, or desires. Each year, those that are able to "pass" lose more and more of their natural instincts and begin to present themselves to the public how they believe society wants them to be. A performance. What is the truth? Is there truth? Jaleel hopes to enable real conversations from those that may share a similar experience and encourage others to tell their stories.

   

LaLena-Marcondes Duo
Skaneateles Library Guitar Series

Price: Free
Skaneateles Library
49 E. Genesee St., Skaneateles

The LaLena-Marcondes Duo is a brand-new ensemble comprised of guitarists Anthony LaLena and Bernardo Marcondes. Driven by a mutual love for the guitar and the artistry of arrangement, the LaLena-Marcondes Duo arose from Anthony and Bernardo's desire to explore the innovative arrangements of piano music for two guitars by early-20th century guitarists, Miguel Llobet, Emilio Pujol, Alexandre Lagoya, and Ida Presti.

On their debut concert on the 2024 Summer@Eastman series, Anthony and Bernardo premiered a richly varied program featuring many of these historic pieces, including recently discovered arrangements of Manuel de Falla's El amor brujo and El sombrero de tres picos and their own reconstruction of Presti and Lagoya's lauded arrangement of Claude Debussy's Clair de Lune. They are currently embarking on their first recording project, which will celebrate these historic guitarists and feature the music of Debussy, Ravel, Falla, and more. As deeply curious musicians, they also include in their programs their own arrangements for guitar duo, as well as original compositions written for two guitars from the 19th century to today.
