Connective Corridor partner, Urban Video Project, is pleased to announce the exhibition of Stainless by Hungarian artist, Adam Magyar, at UVP Everson from January 10-February 2, 2013.  Showings of the 28 minute video are Thursday to Saturday evenings, dusk to 11 p.m. on the north wall of the Everson Museum in downtown Syracuse.

This exhibition is presented in collaboration with Light Work, which will be showing Magyar’s work in the exhibition, Kontinuum, from January 14-March 15, 2013.

Stainless is part of Magyar’s larger project of using sophisticated recording technologies to explore the flow of time and life through urban landscapes and the people that inhabit them. Shot in black and white using a high speed camera, Stainless stretches the 12 seconds it takes a subway train to arrive into 8 minutes, showing us a world of slowed down motion and candid portraiture: people waiting on a subway platform, caught in a liminal zone between the A and B of everyday life, their small gestures and facial expressions by turns bored, tired, engrossed in thought and expectant. The title refers to the stainless steel from which subway train cars are made, a material that is resistant to corrosion but not altogether impervious. Like the material, these portraits convey both the strength and vulnerability of the subjects.

The accompanying exhibition in the Light Work Gallery features custom-framed digital silver gelatin prints and pigmented inkjet and will be accompanied by a 48-page monograph on the artist. The Light Work-curated show will then travel throughout the country.

The gallery show will include an artist talk at Light Work on January 31, 2013 at 5pm followed by a reception from 6-8pm.
