Jessica Posner, “There is only good butter,” 2014

An unofficial reception and screenings will coincide with Light Work’s “Raymond Meeks: Where Objects Fall Away” reception on Thursday, Nov. 13, from 5-7 p.m. The official reception and screenings will take place on Thursday, Nov. 20, from 5-8 p.m. This event will be a potlatch. If able, please bring items to share. Both receptions are free and open to the public.

The curators say, “What is an adjunct? What is an appendix? Is an adjunct an appendix? Is an appendix adjunct? An evolutionary organ? A peripheral body? An auxiliary workforce? We are artists and teachers doing valuable work with underwhelming support from the institutions we serve.

“This exhibition seeks to give voice, time and space to the adjunct faculty within the College of Visual Performing Arts. We are the new faculty majority in this country, and one third of the faculty at Syracuse University.”

Mannion and Posner are artists, adjunct faculty in Transmedia and staff at Light Work. For more info about Mannion, visit http://www.johnmannion.com. For more about Posner, visit http://jessicaposner.com. They are doing this because they think it is a good idea.
