“Alyson Shotz: Drawing Through Space” (Main gallery) and “Lynette K Stephenson: this Confederacy of Dunces” (Window Projects)
With the assistance of Syracuse University students, Brooklyn-based artist Alyson Shotz created her works on-site, thus turning The Warehouse Gallery into a form of laboratory. Artist talk: February 4, 2010, 7 P.M. (Warehouse Auditorium). In partnership with the Everson Museum of Art. For the Window Projects at The Warehouse Gallery Lynette K Stephenson created an installation about New Orleans consisting of sixty hand felted wool dunce caps. This exhibition is inspired by John Kennedy Toole’s novel A Confederacy of Dunces (1980) set in New Orleans (LO). In this work Stephenson engages in a dialogue about present-day social issues referring to New Orleans, the tragedy of the Hurricane Katrina, and the universal symbol of the Red Cross.
