Artist Talk in U. Tobe Recital Hall: Saturday January 14, 10:30 – 11:30am Opening Reception with the Artist: Saturday January 14, 11:30am-12:30pm For Carmelo Blandino, art exists as a conduit to confront humanity’s uncertainty. Incapsulating the beauty of nature and historical painting in the context of experimental contemporary street styles, the artist, Carmelo Blandino examines universal truths experienced through his personal journey of healing and “rebirth” through decades of his painting practice. The paintings in this empowering exhibition range from large-scale explorations of abstracted florals and notions of Nature’s heroism, to playfully concealed iconography in an attempt to strengthen and empower the motivation away from the mundane of the everyday, in an effort to thwart the dark fringe of human uncertainty. Blandino is a creative superpower, his weapon a brush… through his paintings, a metaphor of the joys of life are accessed, catapulting the viewer beyond the limitations of constructed reality into an exciting and invigorating world where good prevails!

January 14, 2023 – December 15, 2023 Everything is Nothing explores the experience of traveling through a lifetime of imagery, absorbing the visual information we encounter along the way, and reconstructing the fragments of and into our collective memory. Consisting of hundreds of feet of material stretched over the Arts Complex courtyard, the overhead installation results in a visual mix of imagery cut from billboards and banners, colors and textures from lawn webbing and pennants, all woven together producing a cacophony of visual noise. As a functioning canopy, Everything is Nothing protects visitors from the sun under its vibrating shadow. AMLgMATD, a Miami-based collaborative studio established by Laz Ojalde and Natalie Zlamalova in 2014, experiments in works of art, design objects and environmental installations that reflect their love of unusual and overlooked materials. AMLgMATD’s modus operandi consists of incorporating historical and geographical research into their visual language, playing with the sense of nostalgia, the application of familiar materials onto new forms and unexplored materials into familiar settings while redefining their surroundings. AMLgMATD’s works are collected by private and corporate clients in Miami, New York, and Los Angeles, and their WEBSTR stools are available throughout the US in both boutique and museum stores.

January 14, 2023 – December 15, 2023 Everything is Nothing explores the experience of traveling through a lifetime of imagery, absorbing the visual information we encounter along the way, and reconstructing the fragments of and into our collective memory. Consisting of hundreds of feet of material stretched over the Arts Complex courtyard, the overhead installation results in a visual mix of imagery cut from billboards and banners, colors and textures from lawn webbing and pennants, all woven together producing a cacophony of visual noise. As a functioning canopy, Everything is Nothing protects visitors from the sun under its vibrating shadow. AMLgMATD, a Miami-based collaborative studio established by Laz Ojalde and Natalie Zlamalova in 2014, experiments in works of art, design objects and environmental installations that reflect their love of unusual and overlooked materials. AMLgMATD’s modus operandi consists of incorporating historical and geographical research into their visual language, playing with the sense of nostalgia, the application of familiar materials onto new forms and unexplored materials into familiar settings while redefining their surroundings. AMLgMATD’s works are collected by private and corporate clients in Miami, New York, and Los Angeles, and their WEBSTR stools are available throughout the US in both boutique and museum stores.

Thursday, February 23, 2023 6:00pm 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.

The TheatreLab is located in the Arts Complex on the FGCU campus. Our TheatreLab is a black box performance space that seats up to 90 people in various seating configurations. The seating typically changes for each production, so every play you see here has a unique feel. The flexibility of this space, along with the intimacy the audience feels with the performers, allows for a unique experience.

How can I purchase tickets? Tickets are available online through our ticketing website.
Will my tickets be mailed to me? No. While you will receive a confirmation email after your purchase, tickets will not be mailed, but will be held at the Box Office and will be available one hour prior to the performance.
Are there assigned seats? All of our performances are General Admission, so there are no assigned seats. If, however, you have specific seating needs, please contact Joanna Hoch, Events Coordinator, at jhoch@fgcu.edu at least 72 hours prior to the performance to work on accomodations.
Can I pick my tickets up in advance? Unfortunately, no. Feel free to print the confirmation email as proof of purchase, but your name will be on a Will Call list at the Box Office one hour prior to the performance.
How early should I arrive prior to the performance? If you have not purchased tickets in advance, it is recommended that you arrive approximately 1/2 hour prior to the performance to ensure enough time to purchase the tickets and find seats.
Are food and drinks allowed in TheatreLab? Yes, but please note that there are only vending machines in the Arts Complex, so coffee, tea, and other specific snacks would need to be purchased prior to arrival.
Is there late seating? Unfortunately not. Due to the intimate nature of TheatreLab, in conjunction with lighting limitations, we are unable to seat patrons who arrive after the doors have closed. Late arrivals are more than welcome to wait until intermission, if there is one, so they can see the second part of the performance.
Something came up and I can no longer attend the performance. Can I get a refund? Unfortunately, we have a no exchange and no refund policy. Only our season subscribers have the ability to change performances. If you would like more information on becoming a subscriber, please contact Joanna Hoch, Events Coordinator, at jhoch@fgcu.edu.
