SUMMARY:Chitra Ganesh: Architects of the Future
DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a talk by the artist on Wednesday\, September 13 at 4:30 pm in Golden Auditorium\, Little Hall. An opening reception with refreshments will follow. \nPlease note that this exhibition will be held at Clifford Gallery\, located on the first floor of Little Hall. \nThis exhibition features a newly-commissioned mural alongside a selection of comic-inspired prints and digital animations by multimedia artist Chitra Ganesh (b. 1975). Images of monumental\, hybrid female bodies that exceed the boundaries of accepted ideas of femininity are placed alongside Ganesh’s imaginative visual interpretation of Sultana’s Dream\, a visionary story of a feminist utopia written by Bengali author Rokeya Sahkawat Hossain in 1905. The Scorpion Gesture\, a suite of five digital animations\, relates Buddhist cosmology and teachings to present social concerns. In her vibrant\, otherworldly works\, Ganesh combines the visual languages of contemporary popular culture\, especially science fiction and mass-produced Indian comics\, with traditional Hindu and Buddhist mythologies to collapse the past\, present\, and future\, presenting time as cyclical and parallel trajectories rather than linear. Drawing from her extensive studies in social theory\, semiotics\, literature\, and science fiction\, Ganesh envisions narratives of the future that center female protagonists and queer relationships. \nGanesh is currently based in Brooklyn. She holds an MFA in Visual Arts from Columbia University and a BA in Art-Semiotics and Comparative Literature from Brown University. Her work has been widely exhibited nationally and internationally\, including in solo shows at MoMA PS1\, the Brooklyn Museum\, Gothenburg Kunsthalle\, Sweden\, and Frieze London as well as group shows at the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Walker Art Center\, the Bronx Museum\, and the Kochi- Muzuris Biennial\, India. Museums that have acquired her works include the Museum of Modern Art\, the Whitney Museum of American Art\, the Art Institute of Chicago\, and the Kiran Nadar Museum in Delhi. Ganesh has been invited to numerous residency and fellowship programs\, including those at Princeton University\, the Rhode Island School of Design\, Yale Law School\, and New York University. She is represented by Gallery Wendi Norris and Hales London and New York. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Queering Menstruation
DESCRIPTION:Menstruation can be exceptionally difficult for nonbinary and trans-masculine individuals because it’s a biological process that is oftentimes associated with womanhood. Menstruation acts as a reminder of the areas of the body that trigger gender dysphoria\, making the suppression of menstruation a key factor in gender affirmation. This talk will focus on data created by semi-structured\, one-on-one interviews with transgender and nonbinary adolescents\, healthcare professionals\, and the parents of transgender and nonbinary adolescents. \nQueering menstruation can hopefully aid the building of more positive relationships between periods and trans and/or nonbinary people.

SUMMARY:Tales of Terra: A Lee Brown Coye Retrospective
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception: Thursday\, September 21 at 5:00 pm\, Picker Art Gallery\, 2nd floor\, Dana Arts Center \n  \nGrotesque. Macabre. Horrific. These are words frequently used to describe artworks by Central New York artist Lee Brown Coye (1907–1981)\, recognized mostly for his unsettling illustrations in horror anthologies and pulp magazines. His creations for popular pulps such as Weird Tales and stories by the likes of H. P. Lovecraft\, Ray Bradbury\, and Manly Wade Wellman earned him a place in American illustration history as the ghoulish face of the “weird fiction” subgenre. Coye’s uninhibited depictions of the macabre would go on to inspire future masters of horror\, magical realism\, and science fiction. \nBut Coye was far more than an illustrator. He was a prolific self-taught artist who worked in many mediums\, including drawing\, painting\, sculpture\, and silversmithing. Coye drew on his love for stories\, history\, and the buildings and landscapes around his home to produce thousands of lyrical\, comical\, mysterious\, and haunting scenes and characters. Featuring examples from Picker Art Gallery’s vast collection of artwork by Coye\, along with loans from other regional museums and private collections\, Tales of Terra  brings into focus the less gruesome side of Coye’s artistic output and puts these works in dialogue with his published illustrations. This retrospective exhibition includes artworks that span Coye’s lifetime\, examining his regionalist roots\, his fascination with architecture\, and his relationship to the places he lived\, all of which found a place in his unique takes on the grotesque.
