The Everson Museum of Art presents Sitting Still, a contemplative video project funded by a grant from the New York State Council for the Arts. The project is led by Anne Beffel, a New York based public artist and Associate Professor at Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. The project begins October 4, 2008 and culminates with an exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art in June, 2009.

“This project addresses the question of what the world would look like from a non-violent point of view,” said Pam McLaughlin, Everson Museum of Art Curator of Education and Public Programs. “Sitting Still looks at what would happen if Syracuse city youth and Syracuse University joined together to explore this concept.”

Beffel and McLaughlin have worked together for over a year to put video cameras in the hands of Syracuse youth throughout the month of October 2008, so that they will stop, look, and listen as scenes unfold before them ranging from those that inspire awe to those that compel us to participate and intervene. Students from Central Tech, Henninger, Corcoran and Nottingham high schools have been invited to participate.

Within the context of four Saturday workshops at the SU Warehouse E-tags studio, 350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse, students will engage in making video art from a perfectly still point of view, and then use their art works as the basis for sharing their diverse visions. Beffel, who initiated the Sitting Still project last spring in collaboration with University of Memphis and Overton High School students at the Art Museum of University of Memphis, says the conversations in previous workshops are lively, inspired, and attuned.

“Participants experience something attuned because the youth encounter something unusual with the cameras: they concentrate completely on being right here, right now, moment by moment. The video camera becomes a focusing tool,” said Beffel. “The atmosphere is collaborative, and students often tell me after the workshops that they walk around noticing small things they had overlooked previously. They seem to open up to one another.”

Beffel drew inspiration for Sitting Still from a variety of sources, including her interest in the sit-ins at a Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., the Nashville sit-ins of 1960. Also of inspiration have been the Dalai Lama, and Rosa Parks. Although these individuals come from very different environments and positions, they have drawn strength and courage from stillness, which has impacted the world in profound ways.

Sitting Still is supported by a Syracuse University Initiative Grant with support from the Kauffman Foundation Center for Contemplative Mind in Society with support from the Fetzer Institute, Syracuse University College of Visual and Performing Arts Interdisciplinary Research Group, NYSCA, and the Everson Museum of Art. Additional support has been provided by the iSchool atSyracuse University.

In November 2004, Frank Warren began a community art project. He handed out 3,000 postcards to strangers and left themin public places in his Washington, D.C. neighborhood. Each self-addressed card invited people to anonymously write down a secret and mail it to him. Two requirements were: the secret had to be true and it had to be something that had never been shared with another person. These initial secrets were exhibited in Washington, D.C., later that year. After the first exhibition closed word of the project spread. People began crafting their own homemade postcards and the artful secrets began arriving from every continent. Today, Warren has received more than 350,000 highly personal and artfully decorated postcards illustrating the soulful secrets never voiced. The postcards continue to come at a rate of about 1,000 a week.

This extraordinary project has become an international phenomenon with thousands of people participating in scheduled PostSecret events throughout the United States. Every Sunday, Frank Warren posts secrets on his award-winning website www.PostSecret.com, which has been viewed more than 100 million times. The project has produced three bestselling books with a fourth, A Lifetime of Secrets, published in October 2007. The Everson Museum’s presentation of PostSecret features morethan 400 works of art, bringing together the most powerful, poignant and beautifully intimate secrets that Warren has received in the past four years. In addition, the exhibition includes a selection of secrets written on three-dimensional objects including a coffee bag, a prescription bottle, a floppy disc, a ballet slipper, and a Rubik’s cube with 9 scrambled secrets adhered with paper tape. Shocking, profound, petty, brave and revealing, PostSecret unflinchingly exposes the frailty and courage that hides within us all.

Within the context of four Saturday workshops at the SU Warehouse E-tags studio, 350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse, students will engage in making video art from a perfectly still point of view, and then use their art works as the basis for sharing their diverse visions. Beffel, who initiated the Sitting Still project last spring in collaboration with University of Memphis and Overton High School students at the Art Museum of University of Memphis, says the conversations in previous workshops are lively, inspired, and attuned.

“Participants experience something attuned because the youth encounter something unusual with the cameras: they concentrate completely on being right here, right now, moment by moment. The video camera becomes a focusing tool,” said Beffel. “The atmosphere is collaborative, and students often tell me after the workshops that they walk around noticing small things they had overlooked previously. They seem to open up to one another.”

Beffel drew inspiration for Sitting Still from a variety of sources, including her interest in the sit-ins at a Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., the Nashville sit-ins of 1960. Also of inspiration have been the Dalai Lama, and Rosa Parks. Although these individuals come from very different environments and positions, they have drawn strength and courage from stillness, which has impacted the world in profound ways.

Sitting Still is supported by a Syracuse University Initiative Grant with support from the Kauffman Foundation Center for Contemplative Mind in Society with support from the Fetzer Institute, Syracuse University College of Visual and Performing Arts Interdisciplinary Research Group, NYSCA, and the Everson Museum of Art. Additional support has been provided by the iSchool atSyracuse University.

In November 2004, Frank Warren began a community art project. He handed out 3,000 postcards to strangers and left themin public places in his Washington, D.C. neighborhood. Each self-addressed card invited people to anonymously write down a secret and mail it to him. Two requirements were: the secret had to be true and it had to be something that had never been shared with another person. These initial secrets were exhibited in Washington, D.C., later that year. After the first exhibition closed word of the project spread. People began crafting their own homemade postcards and the artful secrets began arriving from every continent. Today, Warren has received more than 350,000 highly personal and artfully decorated postcards illustrating the soulful secrets never voiced. The postcards continue to come at a rate of about 1,000 a week.

This extraordinary project has become an international phenomenon with thousands of people participating in scheduled PostSecret events throughout the United States. Every Sunday, Frank Warren posts secrets on his award-winning website www.PostSecret.com, which has been viewed more than 100 million times. The project has produced three bestselling books with a fourth, A Lifetime of Secrets, published in October 2007. The Everson Museum’s presentation of PostSecret features morethan 400 works of art, bringing together the most powerful, poignant and beautifully intimate secrets that Warren has received in the past four years. In addition, the exhibition includes a selection of secrets written on three-dimensional objects including a coffee bag, a prescription bottle, a floppy disc, a ballet slipper, and a Rubik’s cube with 9 scrambled secrets adhered with paper tape. Shocking, profound, petty, brave and revealing, PostSecret unflinchingly exposes the frailty and courage that hides within us all.

The Everson Museum of Art presents Sitting Still, a contemplative video project funded by a grant from the New York State Council for the Arts. The project is led by Anne Beffel, a New York based public artist and Associate Professor at Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. The project begins October 4, 2008 and culminates with an exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art in June, 2009.

“This project addresses the question of what the world would look like from a non-violent point of view,” said Pam McLaughlin, Everson Museum of Art Curator of Education and Public Programs. “Sitting Still looks at what would happen if Syracuse city youth and Syracuse University joined together to explore this concept.”

Beffel and McLaughlin have worked together for over a year to put video cameras in the hands of Syracuse youth throughout the month of October 2008, so that they will stop, look, and listen as scenes unfold before them ranging from those that inspire awe to those that compel us to participate and intervene.

In November 2004, Frank Warren began a community art project. He handed out 3,000 postcards to strangers and left themin public places in his Washington, D.C. neighborhood. Each self-addressed card invited people to anonymously write down a secret and mail it to him. Two requirements were: the secret had to be true and it had to be something that had never been shared with another person. These initial secrets were exhibited in Washington, D.C., later that year. After the first exhibition closed word of the project spread. People began crafting their own homemade postcards and the artful secrets began arriving from every continent. Today, Warren has received more than 350,000 highly personal and artfully decorated postcards illustrating the soulful secrets never voiced. The postcards continue to come at a rate of about 1,000 a week.

This extraordinary project has become an international phenomenon with thousands of people participating in scheduled PostSecret events throughout the United States. Every Sunday, Frank Warren posts secrets on his award-winning website www.PostSecret.com, which has been viewed more than 100 million times. The project has produced three bestselling books with a fourth, A Lifetime of Secrets, published in October 2007. The Everson Museum’s presentation of PostSecret features morethan 400 works of art, bringing together the most powerful, poignant and beautifully intimate secrets that Warren has received in the past four years. In addition, the exhibition includes a selection of secrets written on three-dimensional objects including a coffee bag, a prescription bottle, a floppy disc, a ballet slipper, and a Rubik’s cube with 9 scrambled secrets adhered with paper tape. Shocking, profound, petty, brave and revealing, PostSecret unflinchingly exposes the frailty and courage that hides within us all.

Sitting Still for Art and Empathy

The Everson Museum of Art presents Sitting Still, a contemplative video project funded by a grant from the New York State Council for the Arts. The project is led by Anne Beffel, a New York based public artist and Associate Professor at Syracuse University’s College of Visual and Performing Arts. The project begins October 4, 2008 and culminates with an exhibition at the Everson Museum of Art in June, 2009.

“This project addresses the question of what the world would look like from a non-violent point of view,” said Pam McLaughlin, Everson Museum of Art Curator of Education and Public Programs. “Sitting Still looks at what would happen if Syracuse city youth and Syracuse University joined together to explore this concept.”

Beffel and McLaughlin have worked together for over a year to put video cameras in the hands of Syracuse youth throughout the month of October 2008, so that they will stop, look, and listen as scenes unfold before them ranging from those that inspire awe to those that compel us to participate and intervene. Students from Central Tech, Henninger, Corcoran and Nottingham high schools have been invited to participate.

Within the context of four Saturday workshops at the SU Warehouse E-tags studio, 350 W. Fayette St., Syracuse, students will engage in making video art from a perfectly still point of view, and then use their art works as the basis for sharing their diverse visions. Beffel, who initiated the Sitting Still project last spring in collaboration with University of Memphis and Overton High School students at the Art Museum of University of Memphis, says the conversations in previous workshops are lively, inspired, and attuned.

“Participants experience something attuned because the youth encounter something unusual with the cameras: they concentrate completely on being right here, right now, moment by moment. The video camera becomes a focusing tool,” said Beffel. “The atmosphere is collaborative, and students often tell me after the workshops that they walk around noticing small things they had overlooked previously. They seem to open up to one another.”

Beffel drew inspiration for Sitting Still from a variety of sources, including her interest in the sit-ins at a Woolworth lunch counter in Greensboro, N.C., the Nashville sit-ins of 1960. Also of inspiration have been the Dalai Lama, and Rosa Parks. Although these individuals come from very different environments and positions, they have drawn strength and courage from stillness, which has impacted the world in profound ways.

Sitting Still is supported by a Syracuse University Initiative Grant with support from the Kauffman Foundation Center for Contemplative Mind in Society with support from the Fetzer Institute, Syracuse University College of Visual and Performing Arts Interdisciplinary Research Group, NYSCA, and the Everson Museum of Art. Additional support has been provided by the iSchool atSyracuse University.
