X Factor: Latinx Artists and the Reconquest of the Everyday

January 17 - March 8, 2025
USF Contemporary Art Museum

X Factor: Latinx Artists and the Reconquest of the Everyday locates, through the work of more than a dozen historical and contemporary artists, dynamic entry points into the discussion and expansion of the term Latinx. The exhibition grounds a series of redefinitions of “Latinity” in the everyday lives of its creators, especially where artworks and creative processes reconquer novel meanings from hackneyed and conventional ideas of ethnicity, race, class, politics, representation, and the history of US migration. 

Exhibiting artists: Gabino A. Castelán, Gisela Colón, Danielle De Jesus, Lucia Hierro, Karlo Andrei Ibarra, Laura Perez Insua, José Lerma, Eddy A. López, Miguel Luciano, Narsiso Martinez, Angel Otero, Edison Peñafiel, Shizu Saldamando, Yiyo Tirado-Rivera and Rodrigo Valenzuela.

X Factor is supported in part by the National Endowment for the Arts.

After Structure and Beyond Support

June 13 - August 2, 2025
USF Contemporary Art Museum

After Structure and Beyond Support are two related and concurrent exhibitions that complicate our accepted notions of support systems as both the formal structures of artworks and necessary aspects of social, cultural, and political life. After Structure, curated by Mark Fredricks, takes place in CAM’s West Gallery to pair a body of Richard Tuttle work with artwork from artist Mike Cloud. Beyond Support, curated by Christian Viveros-Fauné and Mark Fredricks, is drawn entirely from the USF Collection and will be installed in the museum’s Lee & Victor Leavengood Gallery.
