Tyler Art Gallery at SUNY Oswego presents Dialogues Across Time, a two-person exhibition bringing together the work of Juan Perdiguero and Marc Hungerbühler. Spanning three decades of practice, the exhibition traces each artist's evolution through key works selected to illuminate their individual trajectories and unexpected points of convergence.
Perdiguero's lifelike renderings of figures and animals stand in sharp visual contrast to Hungerbühler's organic abstraction, which resists figure and ground alike. And yet both artists circle the same essential concepts: control and surrender, permanence and impermanence, the tension between what endures and what dissolves. Their dialogue echoes what the Spanish philosopher Miguel de Unamuno called the tragic sense of life, which he defines as the human negotiation between our longing to persist and our awareness that all things change and end. Viewed together, their work is a sustained meditation on what it means to make something in the face of inevitable dissolution and decay. These artists find meaning not in resolving this conflict but in finding the courage to exist within the tentative state of the unknown. The resulting artworks give material form to a concept that holds sadness and profound beauty.
Hungerbühler will also be showing a two-channel immersive video installation in the White Box Gallery in Hewitt Hall. This installation will feature some of his well-known works such as Navajo, Stinger, Susie Q, and Civilian Pavilion.

The Forest Bathing: Autumn Equinox Walk is led by June Leo-Randazzo, an Association of Nature and Forest Therapy (ANFT) Certified Guide. An equinox occurs when the day and the night are equal in length. This walk is centered around balance, personal reflection, and release. This walk is different from a hike; instead, it is a slow walk with sitting at times. It will allow participants to connect with nature. Spending time in nature is relaxing and can benefit mental and physical health. It can help reduce stress and depression and support cardiovascular health. This walk is $30 per person, and registration in advance is required, as there is limited space available. Please register by calling the Great Swamp Conservancy at (315)697-2950, or via email at greatswampconservancy@gmail.com.
