2007	WHERE		WHAT	etc.
9 Nov 2006 - 27 Jan 2007	SYRACUSE, NY	@ The Warehouse Gallery, 350 W. Fayette St. Free admission	Faux Naturel 9 November 2006 - 27 January 2007 Artists: Alex Da Corte / Emily Vey Duke & Cooper Battersby / Nick Lenker / Annie MacDonell / Allyson Mitchell / Andrea Vander Kooij Curator: A. Suparak The group of North American artists presented in Faux Naturel is young enough to have grown up with a more informed sense about the environment, with Earth Day pre-printed on calendars and global warming existing as more than just a theory. These artists explore the territory delineated by the destruction of the natural world, with all its attendant themes. Entropy, redemption, apocalypse, the fall from grace, the temptations of commercial culture, and the relationship between science and magic all emerge as motifs in this exhibition.	- Exhibition images
		Book	Graffiti Women: Street Art from Five Continents, by Nicholas Ganz, foreword by Swoon. Published by Abrams, New York, 2006	Some great artists included. See fold-out collage for some drawings of mine.

The screening Winter Light includes experimental film, video art, and audio field recordings from Austria, Nunavut, America, Germany and Canada, to accompany the sensational exhibit, Embracing Winter. In a collaborative spirit, Winter Light is co-curated by filmmaker and writer Brett Kashmere and gallery director Astria Suparak, and co-presented by The Warehouse Gallery, neighboring arts center The Redhouse, and Thursday Screeners, a student group at Syracuse University. The Warehouse Gallery continues its expansion of art exhibition beyond the physical location of the gallery with roving artist talks, online broadcasts, and now, film screenings. Similar to the Embracing Winter gallery show, Winter Light revels in the fleeting aesthetics of winter, presenting works that document ice melting, crystals forming, stars twinkling, birds migrating, surreal dreaming, the loss of consciousness and the warmth of a flame. 6:00 pm / Reception with light refreshments @ The Warehouse Gallery, 350 W.

Sept-Dec 2007	SYRACUSE, NY	@ The Warehouse Gallery + Syracuse University	What happened in Syracuse? - http://syracuse-warehouse.blogspot.com - http://keepastria.com
16 Nov 2007	INTERNET	@ Fanzine	Desire in Syracuse: the 'Come On' Controversy: "Standing in sharp contrast to this text-book approach was Suparak whose exhibitions resisted narrow thinking and neat categorization�"Come On" was exemplary in this regard. For Hoone though, it must have had the character of something he could not understand nor contain�it was too messy, too sexy, too complicated�overall, too hot. But it was the same HOT thing that Syracuse embraced; and while probably challenging, a threat it was not. The fact is that Suparak did curate contextually strong exhibitions. This is why she had a following. This is why the Warehouse was widely hailed as a success... Suparak was exceedingly capable of creating a context for challenging and new work." - Yvonne Olivas, "Desire in Syracuse: the 'Come On' Controversy," Fanzine

PAPERWALL is a multimedia exhibition of queer art works from across North America. The show will feature the work of over 20 contemporary and emerging queer artists and activists. Components to the exhibit: - A poster art and print show - A zine and artist book display - A collection of queer video and film works - A button and patch making station hosted by Courtney Dailey - A special performance by Lesbians on Ecstacy - "Tit Pin" performance by Paige Gratland - A discussion about queer cultural production lead by Judith "Jack" Halberstam (Professor of English and Director of The Center for Feminist Research at USC)	Participants include: Aisha Burnes Ass Pirates Courtney Dailey Emily Roysdon Gravy Train Hey Willpower Hidden Cameras Jen Smith JD JJ Chinois Lesbians On Ecstacy Les Panthères Rose Limp Fist Logan Macdonald LTTR The Third Leg Sara Thustra Samara Halperin Will Munro Louis Jacob
