Increasingly, the townsfolk become aware of a talent agency鈥檚 plan to build an opulent glamping site nearby, offering city residents a comfortable 鈥渆scape鈥 to the snowy wilderness. When two company representatives arrive and ask for local guidance, Takumi becomes conflicted in his involvement, as it becomes clear that the project will have a pernicious impact on the community. Ryusuke Hamaguchi鈥檚 follow-up to his Academy Award庐-winning "DRIVE MY CAR" is a foreboding fable on humanity's mysterious, mystical relationship with nature.

The exhibition opens to the public with an opening reception from 4:30-6:30 p.m. Thursday, April 10, and will remain on view until April 24 in the Elsie B. Rosefsky Memorial Art Gallery, Fine Arts 259. The exhibition is free and open to the public.

    "Convergence" is a tribute to years of growth, experimentation and refinement. It symbolizes not just an ending but a powerful moment of synthesis between these artists before they progress on to their next chapters. It highlights the conjunction of unique perspectives that define this graduating class. "Convergence" suggests both a meeting point and a moment of transformation 鈥 where individual paths merge, yet retain their distinct influence.

    黑料视频鈥檚 Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) is a pre-professional degree with an intensive focus on studio art and design for students who wish to pursue arts-related careers.

Students can choose to concentrate on drawing, painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking or graphic design.

    The 2025 artists are: Kimora Bedeau, Shane Conklin, Sammy Feng, Emily Gangloff, Ashley Gibs, Haley Keener, Simon Liebskind, Margo MacWilliams, Alexis Magera, Andrew Nieves, Emily O'Reilly, Lucciana Robertson, Elizabeth Serjantov, Anh Sciscent, Mayna Sengsouvanh, Amiah Shoultes, Daisy Solis and Anna Stacey.

  • "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy": Feb. 27-June 14

    The 黑料视频 Art Museum presents "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy," organized by The New York Historical, on view from Feb. 27-June 14, 2025.

    The exhibition explores public monuments and their representations as points of debate over national identity, politics and race. Monuments offer a historical foundation for understanding recent controversies, featuring fragments of a torn-down statue of King George III, a replica of a bulldozed monument by Harlem Renaissance sculptor Augusta Savage and a maquette of New York City鈥檚 first public monument to a Black woman (Harriet Tubman), among other objects. The exhibition reveals how monument-making and monument-breaking have long shaped American life as public statues have been celebrated, attacked, protested, altered and removed.

    "Monuments: Commemoration and Controversy" is curated by Wendy N'lani E. Ikemoto, vice president and chief curator at The New York Historical. The exhibition is supported by the Terra Foundation for American Art. Additional support is provided at 黑料视频 by the Office of the Provost, the Division of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the Harpur College Dean鈥檚 Office, the Binghamton Fund for Excellence, the Kaschak Institute for Social Justice for Women and Girls and Rebecca Moshief and Harris Tilevitz 鈥78.

    Also opening in the Mezzanine Gallery is "Existential Color: Photography from the Permanent Collection," organized by John Tagg, SUNY Distinguished Professor of Art History, and Luisa Casella, photograph conservator and Fellow of the American Institute for Conservation. In 1976, John Szarkowski, director of the Department of Photography at the Museum of Modern Art, hailed the arrival of a 鈥渘ew generation of color photographers鈥 who saw color as 鈥渆xistential,鈥 鈥渁s though the world itself existed in color.鈥 This 鈥渘ew generation鈥 included William Eggleston, Stephen Shore and Joel Meyerowitz, whose work here prompts a wider re-examination of color in 黑料视频 Art Museum鈥檚 photographs collection. Within this exhibition, which features works made between the mid-1970s and the early 2000s, a display of historical processes dating back to the mid-nineteenth century shows that color was an integral part of photographic expression from its very beginnings. What viewers are asked is whether Szarkowski鈥檚 notion of a decisive break holds up or whether the question of color and photography has to be seen from a much longer and broader historical perspective.

    In the Museum鈥檚 Lower Galleries, three small exhibitions will also open: "Chiura Obata: Japanese Art in America," curated by Yao Shen He 鈥27; "History and Myth: Violence in Early Modern Prints," curated by Leah Dascoli 鈥26; and "Japanese Design and the Arts and Crafts Movement in New York," curated by Joseph Leach, curator of collections and exhibitions.

    For details on upcoming programming, see the Art Museum's 鈥淓vents鈥 page at the link below and on social media. All events are free and open to the public.

  • Visiting Artist lecture 鈥 Kirsten Deirup: April 7

  • CEMERS lecture series April 9: "At the Limits of Language: Amulets, Curses, and Glossolalia"

    The Center for Medieval and Renaissance Studies (CEMERS), co-sponsored by the History Department, invites you to join a lecture at 3 p.m. Wednesday, April 9, in the IASH Conference Room, LN 1106, titled "At the Limits of Language: Amulets, Curses, and Glossolalia," with guest speaker Laura Nasrallah, Buckingham Professor of New Testament Criticism and Interpretation at Yale Divinity School.

    Mediterranean antiquity is full of aesthetic experimentation with vowels and symbols, whether on small amulets, large inscriptions on walls or papyrus recipes. Ritual experts used matter and sound to gain the attention of divinities and archangels. This lecture, drawn from the speaker鈥檚 new Ancient Christians and the Power of Curses, focuses on the site of Roman Corinth. References to speaking in tongues in a letter from Paul and Sosthen to Christ-followers in Corinth (found in 1 Corinthians 12-14) are contextualized amid the practices of voces magicae (unknown letter streams) in ritual texts, including a curse tablet from the nearby Sanctuary of Demeter and Kore. M. NourbeSe Philip鈥檚 poetic meditation on the violence of colonial language and the intimacy of the mother(鈥檚) tongue provides a framework for analysis of non-standard language in antiquity.
