What's that glow in the Project Space Gallery? Is it....a new show?

Yes, yes it is, it's Yoelmachus, Mordue Reinhardt's solo exhibition. Two of our intrepid Gallery Interns, Tessa Delisio and Anjali Malcomson, explored and put together this cinematic: The Discovery.

Yoelmachus | Mordue Reinhardt
Project Space Gallery
On view: October 6-31, 2026
Reception: Thursday, October 22, 5-7 p.m.

Stone breathes underfoot, clammy with a veil of water. Black and stinking of rust. The water clings, drawing up slowly. A dense weight crumbling towering cliff faces, then sloughing off, back into the sea. Cities shrouded in smoke resurrect themselves in silence. They count the seconds between the crashing waves. A single, fragile continent stranded in the center of the Universe. Deaf to the groaning of their machines, and to their own gnashing, hungry teeth. Those hearing have given up. We are all that we have.

Yoelmachus is an invented world, a confederation of city states in a state of decay, and a comic book telling the story of this world. Yoelmachus is also an exhibition: an
exploration into the story of itself, the practice of world-building, creating a narrative through art, and a celebration of the communal nature of storytelling. Fictional settings are mirrors of our reality; they allow us to view life through an alien lens. Stories force us to consider our morals and values, challenging or reflecting them. We believe the characters we encounter to be people. They, too, would have their own art, their own
cultural bodies. Fiction fosters empathy in place of the brutality of reality. It reminds us of what it means to be human, therefore we cannot be human without it.

Yoelmachus is a student solo show selected from the Gallery’s semesterly Project Open Call. Generously funded by the Student Research and Creative Activities (SRCA) Grant.

The art comes off the walls, the show concludes, but the ideas live on. Thank you to everyone who shared work, their thoughts, and their time over the run of By Design. We saw so many class visits, interaction, and discussion in this show and started off the 26-27AY on a great foot!

Come by in two weeks to see what's up next...

By Design
Martin-Mullen Art Gallery
On view: August 25-October 10, 2026

By Design intentionally brings together an array of international and historical protest-related work, on loan from nine private and public collections. The purpose is manifold, but it highlights a few key points: there is a rich history behind protest and political critique, there is no one "right" way to protest, the creative arts can bring many different voices to the forefront, and the most effective pieces avoid trite platitudes. These objects are imperfect like the people who made them but stand the test of time because they mark historic moments shared by numerous individuals who spoke as one.

Many thanks to Emma Haring (CGP '26) for her curatorial assistance as a summer post-graduate fellow. A special thanks to the artists, collectors, and organizations that lent work for this exhibition: The Alden Room University Archives and Special Collections in the James M. Milne Library at SUNY Oneonta (public collection); Olivier Bonhomme (artist) and The Art Garage, Cooperstown (art gallery); John Bugyi (private collection); the Cooperstown Graduate Program (CGP, teaching collection); Carey R. D'Avino (private collection); Robin Herbert (private collection); the Katherine G. Angell Historical and Cultural Costume Collection in the SUNY Oneonta Department of Fashion and Textiles (public collection); The Yager Museum of Art & Culture at Hartwick College (public collection); SUNY Oneonta's fine art collection cared for by the Galleries at SUNY Oneonta (public collection).

"...endlessly the same and endlessly different."
-Gertrude Stein

One of the key themes that pushed to the fore as we curated By Design was how similar the demands of protests spanning decades and countries were. With shifts in names, dates, and certain details, the pressure points of economics, human rights, and abuse of power came up again and again. Rather than feeling hopeless, we found this message encouraging: people have been fighting for their rights for centuries. Time and again, they gain ground, and even though it's been a slow march, the forward progression of human dignity for all goes on.
