Every two years, hundreds of artists submit their work to be considered for one of the region’s most prestigious juried shows. Like the Rochester Biennial, with which it alternates, the Rochester-Finger Lakes Exhibition showcases recent work by upstate artists, but unlike the Biennial (an invitational), each Finger Lakes is selected by different outside jurors.

Jurors for this year’s show were James Hyde, artist and 2008 Guggenheim Fellow, and David A. Kwasigroh, director of exhibitions and artist services at the Indianapolis Art Center. In April, they chose 36 works by 28 artists—including 14 who are new to Finger Lakes—from a field of 852 entries by 445 artists.

This year’s show is particularly strong in photography (10 works) and painting (7), but also includes ceramics, prints, drawings, sculpture, fiber art, jewelry, video and mixed media.

Lockhart GalleryMaira Kalman: The Elements of StyleThrough August 2

Maira Kalman is well known for children’s books (Max in Love); New Yorker illustrations (among them the 2001 “NewYorkistan” cover); and the book The Principles of Uncertainty, based on her monthly illustrated column for The New York Times.

This exhibition includes Kalman’s original illustrations for a 2005 edition of the classic writer’s hand-book The Elements of Style. Her serendipitous encounter with an old copy of the book in a Cape Cod antique shop led to a visual rethinking of the rules of writing that William Strunk Jr. and then E. B. White formulated over the years, beginning in 1918. The more than 50 colorful and humor-ous illustrations are a treat for Kalman fans and a joy for visitors just discovering her work.

Sponsored by Lynne Lovejoy and presented in memory of Bill Buckett, president of the Board of Managers, 1996–98

Walter Goodman’s The PrinTseller’s WindoW: Solving A Painter’s PuzzleAugust 14–November 8

In 1998, MAG director Grant Holcomb bid on a mysterious painting on the auction block at Sotheby’s. Almost nothing was known about it or about its remarkably talented painter, but Holcomb’s risk paid off. In a review of auction sales that year, one writer hailed the work as “a masterpiece that is the equal of the best of William Harnett…John Peto…and John Haberle…the three great American titans of trompe l’oeil.” With photos, engravings and antique bits of bric-a-brac—all overseen by a bespectacled and bearded figure—The Printseller’s Window is filled with puzzling bits that suggest a story. This exhibition tells how the painting’s secrets have been given up one by one through the painstaking detective work of guest curator Pete Brown.

Upstairs, Downstairs

The Memorial Art Gallery is supported primarily by its members, the University of Rochester and public funds from Monroe County and the New York State Council on the Arts.

Trellised Garden with Animals, the most important Renaissance tapestry in the Gallery’s collection, has been off view awaiting conservation treatment since 1993. Now, thanks to a major federal grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services, it’s off to the Textile Conservation Laboratory at New York’s Cathedral of St. John the Divine for cleaning, conservation,

relining and remounting. The painstaking process should be completed—and the 12’ x 15’ tapestry back on the wall on the second floor—in late 2010. Learn more at mag.rochester.edu/aroundMAG.

When Protected for Eternity closes in late August, the Gallery’s Egyptian coffins and other antiqui-ties will move from the Gill Discovery Center to the second floor. There, later this year, they’ll be part of the new Helen H. Berkeley Gallery of Ancient Art. Please note that over the coming months, access to areas under renovation may be restricted; for updates visit mag.rochester.edu.

On the first floor, Seeing America reopened in April with new carpet, fresh paint and of course reinstalled art. Work has now moved on to the adjacent Arts of Africa, Oceania and the Americas. When this refur-bished gallery opens in the fall, look for expanded text panels, as well as new maps and photographs, to help kids and adults alike get oriented.

Above: Detail of Trellised Garden with Animals. Workshop of Wilhelm de Pannemaker (Flemish), ca. 1565–75. Gift of Mrs. Granger A. Hollister. Right: Never ask a lady what she weighs! Thomas Ridgeway Gould’s West Wind is reinstalled at the entrance to Seeing America.

MAG on the WebAround the MAG

MAGazine has gone digital! Instead of a print edition that mails once a year in Sep-tember, read the online version (“Around the

And don’t worry—MAG members still receive ARTiculate six times a year by US mail.

Calling all BloggersAt Gallery Buzz, our inter active journal, you can get an insider’s view of the museum, expand your knowledge of the collection, and share your Gallery stories and impressions with other bloggers. Go to mag.rochester.edu and click on “news/blog” (menu top of page).
