A History of Photography

This rotation provides an overview of the history of photography through images that include photographers, photographic apparatus, and/or photographic objects. Made by a wide range of photographers, the objects on view begin with John Moffat’s 1865 portrait of William Henry Fox Talbot and culminate in Gillian Wearing’s 2013 work Me As Talbot, a self-portrait that mimics a portrayal of Talbot with his mousetrap camera. Curated by Jamie M. Allen, associate curator of photography, this installation depicts how photographers have referred to the medium, and to themselves, in their image-making.

Stories of Indian Cinema

Stories of Indian Cinema includes Abandoned and Rescued, the intriguing behind-the-scenes tale of the recently acquired collection of Indian films and posters; a film series that includes screenings of a selection of film reels discussed in the exhibition; and Nandita Raman: Cinema Play House, a series of poignant black-and-white photographs of abandoned and failing single-screen cinemas in India.

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema (January 13–June 24, 2018) is dedicated to a unique collection of more than 23,000 original nitrate frames of 35mm films from the early years of cinema (1897–1915).

One of the world’s leading experts in the history of silent cinema, Davide Turconi (1911–2005) gathered these rare frames in the 1960s from a large collection of films acquired by Jesuit priest Josef-Alexis Joye (1852–1919) in Basel, Switzerland. In Basel, Joye had established an educational institution, the Borromäum, that focused on social programs, such as caring for and instructing orphans, providing Sunday school classes, and offering education programs for recent Catholic émigrés and the working class.

In the early 1900s, Joye began to collect films and incorporate them into his lectures. These films have become known as the Josef Joye Collection. Joye acquired a wide variety of international films over a number of years from the secondhand market in Switzerland and Germany. After he left Basel in 1911, the films remained at the Borromäum. At the time of Turconi’s discovery of the collection, the prints were in various stages of chemical decay. Fearing that no trace would remain of these precious films, Turconi took brief clips (typically two or three frames per clipping) from each of them, thus preserving an invaluable documentation on the color techniques employed by film production companies at the beginning of the twentieth century. 

Today, the Turconi and Joye Collections are a primary source for the study of early cinema, and of color technology in particular. (The complete surviving films are now at the British Film Institute’s National Archive in London.) The George Eastman Museum acquired the Turconi Collection in the 1990s, and a massive digitization project was completed after twelve years of painstaking work. The sheer beauty of the nitrate frames and their colors can now be shared with the public.

Concert in the Gallery featuring Cold Chocolate at the Rockwell Museum

Cold Chocolate is a groovy Americana band that fuses bluegrass, folk, and rock to create a sound all their own. With tight three-part harmony and skillful musicianship, this trio from Boston is impressing audiences throughout New England and beyond. Advance reservations required.

Opening Reception and Exhibit: Hannah Graeper, Brandi Mario

Every artist has their own way of looking at the world and the March exhibit at the Arts Center of Yates County spotlights the beauty of this perspective. The ceramic artistry of potter Hannah Graeper and the vivid colors and shapes of painter Brandi Marino will be featured at the Center from February 26 through April 16.  Stop by the exhibit opening on Friday, March 2 from 5-7 pm and meet Hannah, Brandi and other artists, taste some local wine and enjoy homemade hors d’oeuvres.  Admission is free and everyone is welcome.


Hannah Graeper loves the Finger Lakes, loves making pottery and finds her work “a source of joy, amusement and creativity.”  From her Trumansburg studio just outside Ithaca, she works her magic with stoneware clay and food safe glazes to fashion one-of-a-kind painted and functional pieces.  Each item, though spare and traditional in form, is highly decorated through a “glaze trailing” technique, creating detailed, repeating patterns on the textured surface of the stoneware.  From dinnerware to mugs, vases and napkin rings, Hannah’s interpretation of the colors of the earth, sky and sea brings a quiet beauty to the things of everyday life.


Rochester’s Brandi Marino is a self- proclaimed “artist/make-stuff-o-holic” whose bold, bright, larger-than-life paintings, murals and unique furniture welcome you into her world of whimsy.  Her canvases can be anything from an old wooden door or glass window to, well, an actual canvas. Trees, flowers and birds come to life in swirls of vivid colors, and a day of summertime camping may just be more fun depicted through Brandi’s eyes and imagination than the real thing!  Her paintings reflect the world of nature around us; just bigger, brighter, bolder and always happy.


In addition to Graeper and Marino’s work, the exhibit will include a wide assortment of paintings, photos, pottery, jewelry, woodwork and more produced by the Arts Center’s local exhibiting artists.


Don’t worry, winter’s drab is almost over – be happy, springtime’s color is almost here.  And the Arts Center can give you just the jumpstart you need. 


The Arts Center of Yates County is located at 127 Main St., Penn Yan.  The exhibit is open to all from 10am to 4pm weekdays and 10am to 3pm Saturdays.  For more information on exhibits and workshops, visit www.artscenter@ycac.org or like us on Facebook.

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema (January 13–June 24, 2018) is dedicated to a unique collection of more than 23,000 original nitrate frames of 35mm films from the early years of cinema (1897–1915).

One of the world’s leading experts in the history of silent cinema, Davide Turconi (1911–2005) gathered these rare frames in the 1960s from a large collection of films acquired by Jesuit priest Josef-Alexis Joye (1852–1919) in Basel, Switzerland. In Basel, Joye had established an educational institution, the Borromäum, that focused on social programs, such as caring for and instructing orphans, providing Sunday school classes, and offering education programs for recent Catholic émigrés and the working class.

In the early 1900s, Joye began to collect films and incorporate them into his lectures. These films have become known as the Josef Joye Collection. Joye acquired a wide variety of international films over a number of years from the secondhand market in Switzerland and Germany. After he left Basel in 1911, the films remained at the Borromäum. At the time of Turconi’s discovery of the collection, the prints were in various stages of chemical decay. Fearing that no trace would remain of these precious films, Turconi took brief clips (typically two or three frames per clipping) from each of them, thus preserving an invaluable documentation on the color techniques employed by film production companies at the beginning of the twentieth century. 

Today, the Turconi and Joye Collections are a primary source for the study of early cinema, and of color technology in particular. (The complete surviving films are now at the British Film Institute’s National Archive in London.) The George Eastman Museum acquired the Turconi Collection in the 1990s, and a massive digitization project was completed after twelve years of painstaking work. The sheer beauty of the nitrate frames and their colors can now be shared with the public.

A History of Photography

This rotation provides an overview of the history of photography through images that include photographers, photographic apparatus, and/or photographic objects. Made by a wide range of photographers, the objects on view begin with John Moffat’s 1865 portrait of William Henry Fox Talbot and culminate in Gillian Wearing’s 2013 work Me As Talbot, a self-portrait that mimics a portrayal of Talbot with his mousetrap camera. Curated by Jamie M. Allen, associate curator of photography, this installation depicts how photographers have referred to the medium, and to themselves, in their image-making.

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema (January 13–June 24, 2018) is dedicated to a unique collection of more than 23,000 original nitrate frames of 35mm films from the early years of cinema (1897–1915).

One of the world’s leading experts in the history of silent cinema, Davide Turconi (1911–2005) gathered these rare frames in the 1960s from a large collection of films acquired by Jesuit priest Josef-Alexis Joye (1852–1919) in Basel, Switzerland. In Basel, Joye had established an educational institution, the Borromäum, that focused on social programs, such as caring for and instructing orphans, providing Sunday school classes, and offering education programs for recent Catholic émigrés and the working class.

In the early 1900s, Joye began to collect films and incorporate them into his lectures. These films have become known as the Josef Joye Collection. Joye acquired a wide variety of international films over a number of years from the secondhand market in Switzerland and Germany. After he left Basel in 1911, the films remained at the Borromäum. At the time of Turconi’s discovery of the collection, the prints were in various stages of chemical decay. Fearing that no trace would remain of these precious films, Turconi took brief clips (typically two or three frames per clipping) from each of them, thus preserving an invaluable documentation on the color techniques employed by film production companies at the beginning of the twentieth century. 

Today, the Turconi and Joye Collections are a primary source for the study of early cinema, and of color technology in particular. (The complete surviving films are now at the British Film Institute’s National Archive in London.) The George Eastman Museum acquired the Turconi Collection in the 1990s, and a massive digitization project was completed after twelve years of painstaking work. The sheer beauty of the nitrate frames and their colors can now be shared with the public.

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema

Dreaming in Color: The Davide Turconi Collection of Early Cinema (January 13–June 24, 2018) is dedicated to a unique collection of more than 23,000 original nitrate frames of 35mm films from the early years of cinema (1897–1915).

One of the world’s leading experts in the history of silent cinema, Davide Turconi (1911–2005) gathered these rare frames in the 1960s from a large collection of films acquired by Jesuit priest Josef-Alexis Joye (1852–1919) in Basel, Switzerland. In Basel, Joye had established an educational institution, the Borromäum, that focused on social programs, such as caring for and instructing orphans, providing Sunday school classes, and offering education programs for recent Catholic émigrés and the working class.

In the early 1900s, Joye began to collect films and incorporate them into his lectures. These films have become known as the Josef Joye Collection. Joye acquired a wide variety of international films over a number of years from the secondhand market in Switzerland and Germany. After he left Basel in 1911, the films remained at the Borromäum. At the time of Turconi’s discovery of the collection, the prints were in various stages of chemical decay. Fearing that no trace would remain of these precious films, Turconi took brief clips (typically two or three frames per clipping) from each of them, thus preserving an invaluable documentation on the color techniques employed by film production companies at the beginning of the twentieth century. 

Today, the Turconi and Joye Collections are a primary source for the study of early cinema, and of color technology in particular. (The complete surviving films are now at the British Film Institute’s National Archive in London.) The George Eastman Museum acquired the Turconi Collection in the 1990s, and a massive digitization project was completed after twelve years of painstaking work.

Roberto Hidalgo: An Afternoon of Classical French and Russian Piano
Roberto Hidalgo: An Afternoon of Classical French and Russian Piano at the Hangar Theater

Roberto Hidalgo has enthralled audiences with highly inventive programs that reflect his untrammeled curiosity towards the creative process behind each piece of music he performs. An enthusiastic advocate of new and seldom played music, his eclectic repertoire combines works by the great masters with those of lesser-known composers. Critics and audiences have hailed him as a pianist of “a profoundly analytical mind and tonal imagination” whose interpretations are imbued with “a deep emotional understanding of the music at hand.” Students and colleagues unanimously praise his outstanding career of more than twenty years, nourishing young musicians and fostering a lasting appreciation of the arduous yet beautiful craft of making music at the highest level.

“Robert Hidalgo is an internationally renowned musician, and I’m thrilled that he has accepted the invitation to perform for our Hangar audiences.  His muscular and graceful interpretations of classical music will thrill the music-lovers in Ithaca, and I’m especially thrilled that he is including in his French and Russian classical repertoire a piece by Eastman Composer Carlos Sánchez-Gutiérrez, who like Roberto, is from Mexico.  This promises to be a gem of an evening, and continues in the Hangar’s tradition of bringing world-class performers to the Finger Lakes Community.”

– Michael Barakiva, Hangar Artistic Director
