August 28-September 28, 2023

Employing different mediums and methods, the work of five Florida artists drifts between the natural and the surreal to conjure distinctive environments, lifeforms, and habitats. The colors, textures, and narrative mysteries on display create an immersive space--wild and lush. If these works are alluring, even playful, they also hint at darker visions, grappling with questions of control, cultivation, and social responsibility. The natural world has a history much longer than human culture; in Florida, we are bearing witness to the changes we have wrought. These artists do not shy from away from troubling questions about the future even as they revel in human possibility and natural (or supernatural) wonder. Jen Clay (Miami, FL), Cynthia Mason (St. Petersburg, FL), Luca Molnar (Deland, FL), Grace Ramsey (Fort Myers, FL), and Anastasia Samoylova (Miami, FL) will be present at the opening for an artist talk event.

FGCU Art Galleries has long had a practice of bringing Art Program alumni back to exhibit their work as artists. This year, we are bringing back to campus three artists who have each recently completed their MFA: Lauren Ashley S. Baker (’10, Art; MFA 2018 Florida State University), Jessica Dehen (’14, Art; MFA 2022 University of Miami), and Karri Leamon (’18, art; MFA 2022 Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis).

Together, these artists span the gamut of materials from traditional paintings on canvas to sculpture, to video projection and installation art. All are currently teaching and creating in their institutions. They come to us to share their questions and answers that allow us to better understand how to make art, study art, and teach art.

A stubborn doctor wants to save lives by bringing attention to a public health crisis, but his efforts are stymied by politicians and citizens concerned with economic repercussions. Branded an “enemy of the people” by those seeking to silence him, he stands to lose everything dear to him – his job, his reputation, his family, and their future well-being – if he continues to speak out.

Tickets are $10 for the general public and $7 for students and can be purchased at fgcu.edu/theatrelab

Light reception to follow in the Arts Complex Lobby

At the heart of the Material Memories project is the question of what role photography plays in remembering history, both personal and public. What are the moments of our collective history that we keep, and which parts do we forget? What role do institutional archives play in the construction of collective memory? A single black and white photograph, found at the Museum of Yugoslavia in Belgrade, provoked a discovery into post WWII history of socialist Yugoslavia. With a series of photographs and photographic installations I present a psychological portrait of the era of the cold war, burdened with photographic representations of socialist propaganda. I turn my camera to the archives and years of accumulation of historical materials. Material Memories is dependent on the unfolding of memory and history, and their inevitable opposition. Like the image itself, the history appears fragile and slightly distorted. Photographs remind us that memory is a constructed phenomenon.
