SUMMARY:Sasha Phyars-Burgess: Everything Nice Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Sasha Phyars-Burgess’s photographic project Everything Nice traces her family history through Portugal\, the Dominican Republic\, Florida\, and Louisiana\, following the paths of sugarcane farmed on colonial plantations and the transatlantic slave trade in relation to her ancestors. The pictures provide clues and details that are layered into a larger story. \nLooking back at history and locating the present\, Phyars-Burgess is thinking through the idea that we are all living in a history\, whether it is acknowledged or not. Once acknowledged\, and if we allow ourselves to live with the past\, with choices made by and for others\, we can access a wider view of the present day. \nThrough research and picture-making\, Phyars-Burgess’s ongoing project affords us a better understanding of globalization and its languages\, and shows us that places which at first glance look “ethnic” can be regarded differently. \nThe work’s title\, Everything Nice\, is the name of a song by Popcaan. In it\, he speaks about the hardships and struggles that people are going through while also joining together in community\, getting to the heart of the matter\, and being present. This exhibition invites us to slowly look\, ask questions\, and decipher information to uncover possible and actual answers. \n— \nSasha Phyars-Burgess. \nb. 1988. \nScorpio. \nBlack. \nAlive. \nsashaphyars-burgess.com

SUMMARY:2025 MFA Photography Survey Opening Reception
DESCRIPTION:Light Work announces with great pleasure our triennial exhibition in partnership with the Art Photography MFA program from the Film and Media Arts Department in Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. In this survey of candidates\, we see a wide range of approaches that complement and vary from each other: ideas of documentary and fictionalized documentary\, the landscape\, the personal archive combined with found imagery\, female gender\, power dynamics\, a reworking of personal histories\, cultural histories\, and mass media. Altogether\, this selection presents both a curious and confident showcase in experimental and traditional picture-making processes that highlights the ever-expanding field of photography through distinct perception and follow-through. \nThe goal of the Art Photography MFA program is to help artists develop their unique voice. Through intensive study that includes individual and group critique along with courses in history\, theory\, and criticism\, candidates benefit from an intense and passionate learning environment that emphasizes contemporary art and practice. \nThe exhibition includes work by: Reyad Abedin\, Lucas Cobb\, Jared Dominique\, Taylor Gearhart\, Suihang Huang\, Christian Jones\, Jacobb Nichol\, Tony Rayo\, Lia Teeuwissen\, and Jiayue Yu.
