A public forum devoted to providing information on the controversial dismissal of Astria Suparak from The Warehouse Gallery at Syracuse University in September 2007. Here you will find news about the situation, as well as a selection of the hundreds of emails and letters concerning the Warehouse Fiasco that have been sent in protest of her dismissal.

Clayton to Hoone
Jeff,
I have two questions regarding the changes at the Warehouse Gallery.
First, I understand that you chaired the rather large, 9 member of search committee that hired Astria Suparak as Director of the Warehouse Gallery. Were any of the other committee members given prior notice or consulted in the decision of Ms. Suparak's termination? Will this search committee be reconvened to choose the new Director of the Warehouse Gallery?
Second, who will became the Interim Director of the Warehouse Gallery in Ms. Suparak's absence? I have heard that SUArt Galleries will take charge of the programming and eventually absorb the Warehouse Gallery. Is the Warehouse Gallery becoming another venue for the University's lackluster art collection?
Remaining Hopeful,
David Clayton
