ALUMNI EXHIBITION: Marilyn Minter | Pretty/Dirty

DATE & TIME 

November 4, 2016 - April 2, 2017 at the Brooklyn Museum, NY

Free and open to the public

Marilyn Minter’s sensual paintings, photographs, and videos vividly explore complex and contradictory emotions around beauty and the feminine body in American culture. She trains a critical eye on the power of desire, questioning the fashion industry’s commercialization of sex and the body. Marilyn Minter: Pretty/Dirty is the first retrospective of her work.

Spanning more than four decades, the exhibition begins with the artist’s earliest artworks, from 1969 through 1986, including rarely exhibited photographs as well as paintings incorporating photorealist and Pop art techniques. It continues with works from the late 1980s and 1990s that examine visual pleasure in visceral depictions of food and sex. The exhibition culminates in Minter’s ongoing investigation of how the beauty industry expertly creates and manipulates desire through images.

Minter graduated with her BFA at the University in 1970.

EXHIBITION: Nobuho Nagasaki | Liminality

DATE & TIME 

October 18 - December 2, 2016

University Galleries at the University of Florida (UF) is pleased to present Nobuho Nagasawa's Liminality in University Gallery, October 18, 2016, through December 2, 2017.

Nobuho Nagasawa is an interdisciplinary artist whose projects range from sculptural installation, architectural intervention, time-based work, activism, and public art.  Her series of work with woven optical fiber is shaped by the intersection of art, science, and technology, and her interest in acoustic ecology, a discipline studying the relationship, mediated through sound, between living beings and their environment. Her interest in synaesthesia–a neurological phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory leads to experiences in a second sensory or cognitive pathway–has manifested in creating a series of sartorial art that expose and interact with the internal physiology of the musician’s body. Her luminescent woven optical fiber attire “Bio Lux” responds to the live bio-data of the musician’s body movements, heartbeat, and breath and spark the optical fiber into changing colors.

Nagasawa has exhibited extensively around the world, which includes; the Royal Garden of the Prague Castle (Czech Republic), Ludwig Museums (Germany, Hungary), Rufino Tamayo Museum (Mexico), Alexandria Library (Egypt), the Getty Center for the History of Art and Humanities (US). She has also been a representative of international venues; Asian Art Biennial (Bangladesh, 2002), International Book Art Exhibitions (Egypt, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2016), Sharjah Biennial (United Arab Emirates, 2003), Echigo-Tsumari Triennial (Japan, 2003), Sinop Biennial (Turkey, 2006), Fukushima Biennial (2012, 2014) and Setouchi Triennial (2013, 2016). Among her many honors, Nagasawa has been the recipient of DAAD (German Academic Exchange Service), Berlin State Grant, Rockefeller Grant, California Arts Council Fellowships Award, Brody Arts Fund, and several Japan Foundation Grants. In New York, she was a recipient of the Marie Walsh Sharpe Foundation’s Space Program, Established Artist Fellowship, and Chancellors Award for Excellence in Research and Creativity from the State University of New York, and presented at TED Talk in 2013.

EXHIBITION: Yolanda Sánchez | Along the Road of Dreams

DATE & TIME 

August 30 - October 06, 2016

 

University Galleries at the University of Florida (UF) is pleased to present Yolanda Sanchez | Along the Road of Dreams in University Gallery, located on UF's campus, August 30 through October 6, 2016. The Opening reception has been rescheduled to September 15 from 5-7 pm. The brown bag lunch has also been rescheduled to September 16 at noon in University Gallery.

Yolanda Sánchez was born in Cuba and raised in Miami, considering herself a product of that "supersyncretic" (Benitez-Rojo) culture, which is the Caribbean.  Educated in the United States, Sánchez earned her PhD in Psychology, and practiced for years before returning to school and earning her MFA at Yale University.  Sánchez has served as Director of the Fine Arts & Cultural Affairs Division at Miami International Airport for over 20 years.  

Of her work Sánchez says: 

Making art for me is a way of being present in the world; it is an act of attention.  And through this attention, I give back and offer praise to the world.  As such, my work is celebratory, expanding, opening, and about offering pleasure. From a formal perspective, my study and training in calligraphy and my background in dance inform my marks.  Calligraphy, like dance, is an interaction of movement and pause, energy and stillness.  Full of motion, like individual dances of line and form, the marks are a universal aesthetic, conveying a life force, independent of meaning or readability.  Rhythm, harmony of opposing forces, sense of space, purity and mystery, the gestural brushstroke – these qualities make up my process.

To learn more about Sánchez and her work, visit her website at yolandasanchezstudio.com.
