HeroesWhy "Lipe" Art Park? It's in our history!

"The city would soon be nationally known for its cars, it candles, its typewriters, its time clocks, its china and its gears. Not to mention its soda ash, steel, shotguns, steam engines and men's shoes. And don't forget its garment presses, mincemeat, cans, boilers and radiators, and lanterns. Franklin Chase, author of the 1924 history "Syracuse and Its Environs," summed up the early 20th century in Syracuse with this cl.. "In truth, Syracuse manufactured more different articles numerically than even New York City itself." Syracuse's enterprise was diverse and frenetic, but if any one place symbolized the era, perhaps it was the C.E. Lipe Co. machine shop at 208 S. Geddes St. Established in 1880 by Charles E. Lipe, the son of a German-born farmer, the machine shop became a haven for inventors and an incubator of industries. Lipe himself was prolific, inventing a cigar-rolling machine, a broom-winding machine, motion picture equipment, automatic looms and time recorders. Working with Alexander T. Brown, another engineering whiz, Lipe devised a two-speed gear for bicycles. In 1895, the two men started the Brown-Lipe Gear Co., which soon found a market supplying differentials to the automobile industry. Brown-Lipe Gear eventually became the Inland Fisher Guide unit of General Motors, which employed more than 1,300 people in Salina until GM closed that plant in 1993. The Lipe Co., which made clutches and automotive manufacturing machinery, merged in 1942 with the Rollway Bearing Co., which Lipe's brother Willard had started in 1908. Today, Lipe-Rollway Corp. employs about 280 people in Liverpool making bearings and automated conveying systems. Turn-of-the-century Syracuse, like the rest of America, was riding a tide of industrialism that was relentlessly transforming what had been an agrarian nation. Railroads and trolleys crisscrossed the county, and the Erie Canal still carried cargo through downtown. (Post Standard) Tim Knauss

   Lipe Art Park's Blurbs
About me:
Lipe Art Park was an un-utilized two acre strip of greenspace (and former trainyard) until 2007 when a group of artists, community members and civic organizations transformed the space into an open studio/exhibition space for artists and a neighborhood park for local residents. Providing artists with opportunities to create and exhibit within the historic Warehouse District encourages the interaction of art, artwork and the community to become engaged in the reclamation, revitalization and improvement of the urban environment. Lipe Art Park is a space where art, nature, and the diversity of the modern world come together in a unique setting only experienced in Syracuse New York. The Art Park is open to everyone, and includes a rotating collection of artwork from emerging, mid-career and established artists.

Lipe Art Park is located in Syracuse, New York on West Fayette Street (between West St + South Geddes Street).

Agriculture is coming to Syracuse’s Near Westside. An outdoor art show titled ‘agriCULTURE, from the farm to the city’ will open Sunday October 21st at Lipe Art Park. The park, an approximately 1,000 foot long stretch of land along West Fayette Street in the Warehouse District, was started by a group of artists and other creative minds that secured permission from the Syracuse Industrial Development Agency (SIDA) to make new use of the vacant land. The agriCULTURE exhibition is the second to inhabit the former rail yard-turned Art Park.



‘agriCULTURE, from the farm to the city’ will bring interpreted elements and meanings found in farm environments into the urban context. Invited artists working in sculpture, performance, photography, and environments will create art on site to suggest images and narratives of the farm, temporarily transforming the once forgotten urban space. Much of the art will use organic or recycled materials becoming an analog for the potential of regenerative urban planning and design to transform the many left over or forgotten urban spaces in cities like Syracuse.



The project, primarily funded by the 40 Below Public Arts Task Force and the Gifford Foundation, was kicked-off with a community meeting on September 15th at the Gear Factory, formerly the White Warehouse, at West Fayette and Geddes Streets.



With the help of the Office of Community Outreach and Support, an office sponsored by Syracuse University and the College of Visual and Performing Arts located at the SU Warehouse, four classes of Blodgett Elementary School children will be involved in active learning about art and the environment by participating in the creation of farm-related art pieces on site. Curation and project funding for the exhibition is also a graduate independent study project of SUNY ESF’s Department of Landscape Architecture.



‘agriCULTURE, from the farm to the city’— opens at 2:00 pm on Sunday, October 21st at Lipe Art Park on Wes

Today I walked past the park and an old man was sitting on one of the benches, plastic shopping bag at his side. He was watching the trains.

This made me absurdly happy.

Summer Art Game, How to Play

1. Your Egg will find you. (But it couldn't hurt to glance over in the LIPE ART PARK direction.)

2. Decide whether the contents have anything to say about your Self. (Optional: consider the various circumstances that lead to you standing there with a bright plastic Egg in July.)

3. Keep, discard, or re-hide.

Fantastic.

I can't believe an artpark has internet access, let alone a myspace site. I guess somebody must've left their WiFi laptop out in the middle of the field, and the grass, affected by years of contamination from chemicals blowing off Onondaga lake and subsequent soil absorption, mutated and learnt to type.

How very unusual yet cool that it should choose to contact me, of all people. What, prey tell, could it need from a Syracuse escapee livuing down in Australia ?? I'd come and perform there, if it's interested and the money's right. (Airfare's not cheap, you know.)Other than that, I can only offer my support to it's continued existance.


Love and peace,
Dylan Roberts
