Artist Talk: John Knecht

 

Knecht’s talk will present insight into his video making production, which involves a complex process of frame-by-frame hand drawn images, first made with pencil on paper and then in Photo Shop. The presentation of newly created work will provide a window into Knecht’s super natural atmospheres that provide a modernist out-look at a postmodern apocalypse.

Artist Open

Artist Open exist to provide a space for expression, dialogue, and collaboration of local artists across disciplinary boundaries. Audiences will enjoy performances in visual art, poetry, screen writing, video, dance and music in an intimate, bistro-like setting. Artists share their work through presentations, gallery walks, video screenings and original works of art, and invite questions from audience members.

No Artists Open is currently scheduled.

Contemporary Film Series

The Everson Contemporary Film Series brings film as an art form to the Syracuse community and presents local, national and international film and video that would not otherwise be screened in Syracuse. The film series often includes guest filmmakers, outdoor screenings and student video presentations. The Contemporary Film Series is made possible with public funds from the New York State Council for the Arts, a state agency.

No Contemporary Film Series are currently scheduled.
