Skyway 2024: 12 Ways of Looking at a Landscape Closing Celebration Reception

7-9pm, USF Contemporary Art Museum, CAM

Join us to celebrate Skyway 2024: 12 Ways of Looking at a Landscape, USF Contemporary Art Museum’s contribution to Skyway 2024: A Contemporary Collaboration, a concurrent multi-venue exhibition that profiles the best new art in the Tampa Bay region. Other institutions participating in Skyway 2024 include The John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, the Museum of Fine Arts, St. Petersburg, the Sarasota Art Museum, and the Tampa Museum of Art.

Skyway 2024: 12 Ways of Looking at a Landscape features artworks by Elisabeth Condon, Keith Crowley, John Gurbacs, Karen Tucker Kuykendall, Caui Lofgren, Bruce Marsh, Eric Ondina, Sebastian Ore Blas, Andrés Ramírez, Bradford Robotham, Erin Titus, and Susanna Wallin. Their artworks focus on a wide-open notion of landscape, invoking both the particularities of place and the universal ideas they provoke. Their wildly varied representations give sharp-eyed evidence of a common territory—the rich artistic landscape of a cultural region that has very much come into its own.

For questions or more information send us a DM, an email at caminfo@usf.edu, or call (813) 974-4133. This event is free and open to all.

X Factor: Latinx Artists and the Reconquest of the Everyday Opening Conversation + Reception

Artists Conversation
6pm, USF Theatre 2

Opening Reception
7-9pm, USF Contemporary Art Museum

Join us for a conversation with artists from X Factor, moderated by Christian Viveros-Fauné, CAM Curator at Large.

An opening reception will follow the conversation next door at USFCAM until 9pm.

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 include: Gabino A. Castelán, Gisela Colón, Danielle De Jesús, Karlo Andrei Ibarra, José Lerma, Eddy Lopez, Miguel Luciano, Angel Otero, Edison Peñafiel, Yiyo Tirado, Rodrigo Valenzuela and Laura Insua. 

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

For questions or more information send us a DM, an email at caminfo@usf.edu, or call (813) 974-4133. This event is free and open to all.
