Women: Dalí's View
June 13 - September 21, 2008
A selection of 70 works from the permanent collection (painting, drawing, watercolors, prints and objects) representative Dalí's various creations of the female image.
The selected works help trace the progression of Dalí's depiction of women from his early student days - images of varioius women as models in academic studies - to a later period when Gala becomes his chief model and muse. As a young man, the artist's sister Ana María was a prominent model. Girl's Back (1926) depicts Ana Maria's head as viewed from behind in a Renaissance style. By 1928, Dalí is searching for a more experimental style - and the woman in The Bather takes on disconcerting transformations and fragmentations. Dalí's treatment of the female during the Surrealist period varies, at times imbued with a disturbing eroticism, or evoking maternal and the "eternal feminine" interpretations based on mythological figures. In a mid-career work, Enchanted Beach with Three Fluid Graces (1938), Dalí treats the three female figures as the Three Fates.The surrealist and Freudian muse Gradiva becomes the spectral image of a woman as the object of obsession and the repressed forces of unconscious desire. His wife, Gala who becomes his exclusive model, is shown in this exhibition to gather all the many guises of woman.
The exhibition is curated by Joan Kropf and Dirk Armstrong.

University of South Florida's Centre Gallery Presents:
[ CONNECT/ DISCONNECT ]
by Maria Albornoz and Kim Johnson
June 24 - July 11, 2008
Reception: Friday, June 26 from 7 to 9 pm
Centre Gallery: located on the USF Tampa Campus in Marshall Center room 102
Maria Albornoz's new body of work pushes the limitations of her medium. For this exhibition, Albornoz has created remarkably fragile ceramic screens. Hundreds of hand built links interlock to create large-scale sculptures. Each individual link works together to form a larger whole, shifting the weight distribution of the work. Each link act as windows that allow the viewer see through them but together the piece stands strong with a heavy presence creating a spatial interaction with the gallery.
Kim Johnson often works within the realms of current environmental issues. Johnson's new body of work presents the complex and at times contentious relationships between man and nature. The exhibition will include a series of watercolor paintings and cutout works on paper. These works contextualize scientific data and depict projected changes of particular landmasses over the next hundred years. At first glance the works resemble a microscopic view of a cross section of some unknown organic material. Upon a closer view, one can make out a faint embossed line that creates an outline of what is now recognized as an aerial view of a state or continent. The abstracted patches of color reveal what the land will resemble in one hundred years.

FLORIDA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM TO FEATURE HISTORY EXHIBITION ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to present its newest exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide during World War I. The exhibition will be open April 19, 2008 through October 19, 2008. The exhibition's opening event will include a requiem ceremony by St. Hagop Armenian Church, a Curator Talk by Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and a presentation by Eileen Barsamian Jennings, a child of Armenian Genocide survivors, on April 24th at 7pm at the Florida Holocaust Museum. The event is free and open to the public but reservations are strongly encouraged as seating is limited; please call (727) 820 - 0100 ext. 234.
The mass murder of the Armenian people in Anatolia, now referred to by most historians and human rights organizations as "The Armenian Genocide," destroyed a civilization that had resided in Anatolia for thousands of years. The killing of 1-1.5 million Armenians occurred mostly in 1915-1916 during World War I, but continued sporadically after the war until 1923.
This new text and image panel exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide During World War I, begins with a history of the Armenian people and follows the political and international events leading up to the genocide. Using images and photographs, including those taken by Armin T. Wegner, the exhibition portrays the genocide itself, including photos of victims, perpetrators and survivors, and concludes with panels discussing denial and justice and the legacy of the Armenian Genocide.
The exhibit was curated by Guest Curator Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and Co-Curator Stephen Feinstein, Ph.D., and is proudly sponsored by the Lincy Foundation.
The exhibition will be available for loan to interested institutions in January 2009. For more information, please contact Erin Stagner at 727-820-0100 ext. 250.

Oh What A Beautiful Web We Weave (And Stencil And Dye And Sew).
In DFAC's next exhibition series, Textiles XXX Three, fiber arts rule supreme! We join other arts organizations throughout Tampa Bay in celebrating the presence of the Handweaver's Guild of America's biannual conference, 'Convergence 2008', in Tampa on June 22 - 28, with three distinct exhibits of extraordinary fiber works.
In Luminous, the community honors beloved friend, faculty member and artist, Jan Boyer, who passed away in 2006. Jan's magnificent natural mineral and pigment dyed works are an enduring testimony to her enormous gifts and unforgettable spirit. This exhibit was jointly curated by Jan's friends and colleagues in the Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild.
Connie Lippert is a weaver from South Carolina who specializes in the Navaho Wedge Weave, a demanding technique that dates back to the 1870's.
The artist writes:
"I obtain my colors with natural dyes - mainly indigo, madder, goldenrod, black walnut and marigold. As a result, I have become aware of the rich local history of indigo, once considered blue gold in the state of South Carolina, where I live. I grow and use fresh indigo for some of my indigo dyeing.
My work celebrates nature and the spirit that reveres the natural world - a world I fear we are losing. My message is one of environmental respect and protection."
Connie Lippert will be represented at this year's Convergence conference.
In the Entel Gallery exhibition, Surfacing, members of Tampa Bay's Surface Design Guild exhibit a variety of contemporary textile trends including works in: dyeing, art quilting, felting, weaving, embroidery, doll-making, beading and stitching. Join us on Saturday, May 17 from 11am to 1pm, to see the Surface Design Guild artists shine as they demonstrate their individual areas of expertise.
All three exhibitions open Friday May 16th with a reception from 7-9 pm ($5 admission - FREE for members), and continue through July 6th.

The exhibition's opening event will include a requiem ceremony by St. Hagop Armenian Church, a Curator Talk by Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and a presentation by Eileen Barsamian Jennings, a child of Armenian Genocide survivors, on April 24th at 7pm at the Florida Holocaust Museum. The event is free and open to the public but reservations are strongly encouraged as seating is limited; please call (727) 820 - 0100 ext. 234.
The mass murder of the Armenian people in Anatolia, now referred to by most historians and human rights organizations as "The Armenian Genocide," destroyed a civilization that had resided in Anatolia for thousands of years. The killing of 1-1.5 million Armenians occurred mostly in 1915-1916 during World War I, but continued sporadically after the war until 1923.
This new text and image panel exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide During World War I, begins with a history of the Armenian people and follows the political and international events leading up to the genocide. Using images and photographs, including those taken by Armin T. Wegner, the exhibition portrays the genocide itself, including photos of victims, perpetrators and survivors, and concludes with panels discussing denial and justice and the legacy of the Armenian Genocide.
The exhibit was curated by Guest Curator Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and Co-Curator Stephen Feinstein, Ph.D., and is proudly sponsored by the Lincy Foundation.
The exhibition will be available for loan to interested institutions in January 2009. For more information, please contact Erin Stagner at 727-820-0100 ext. 250.

Oh What A Beautiful Web We Weave (And Stencil And Dye And Sew).
In DFAC's next exhibition series, Textiles XXX Three, fiber arts rule supreme! We join other arts organizations throughout Tampa Bay in celebrating the presence of the Handweaver's Guild of America's biannual conference, 'Convergence 2008', in Tampa on June 22 - 28, with three distinct exhibits of extraordinary fiber works.
In Luminous, the community honors beloved friend, faculty member and artist, Jan Boyer, who passed away in 2006. Jan's magnificent natural mineral and pigment dyed works are an enduring testimony to her enormous gifts and unforgettable spirit. This exhibit was jointly curated by Jan's friends and colleagues in the Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild.
Connie Lippert is a weaver from South Carolina who specializes in the Navaho Wedge Weave, a demanding technique that dates back to the 1870's.
The artist writes:
"I obtain my colors with natural dyes - mainly indigo, madder, goldenrod, black walnut and marigold. As a result, I have become aware of the rich local history of indigo, once considered blue gold in the state of South Carolina, where I live. I grow and use fresh indigo for some of my indigo dyeing.
My work celebrates nature and the spirit that reveres the natural world - a world I fear we are losing. My message is one of environmental respect and protection."
Connie Lippert will be represented at this year's Convergence conference.
In the Entel Gallery exhibition, Surfacing, members of Tampa Bay's Surface Design Guild exhibit a variety of contemporary textile trends including works in: dyeing, art quilting, felting, weaving, embroidery, doll-making, beading and stitching. Join us on Saturday, May 17 from 11am to 1pm, to see the Surface Design Guild artists shine as they demonstrate their individual areas of expertise.
All three exhibitions open Friday May 16th with a reception from 7-9 pm ($5 admission - FREE for members), and continue through July 6th.

FLORIDA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM PRESENTS ART FROM THE HEART II
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to exhibit Art From the Heart II, an exhibition of artwork created by consumers from PARC (Pinellas Association for Retarded Children). Artwork is presented in a variety of mediums including sculpture, watercolor, oil, and paper mache. An opening reception will be held June 12, 2008 at 7pm. The event is open to the public, admission is $12 and free to Florida Holocaust Museum members. The Art from the Heart II exhibition is on display through August 15, 2008.
This exhibition is collaboration between the Museum and PARC. During the Holocaust, people with developmental disabilities were one of many groups targeted by the Nazis. Since part of the Museum's mission is to teach all people to recognize the inherent worth and dignity of human life, the Museum is honored to celebrate the work of PARC consumers.
PARC Fine Arts Studio was established in 2000 to give people with disabilities the opportunity to explore their inner spirit and creativity and express themselves through art - no matter what the medium.

Women: Dalí's View
June 13 - September 21, 2008
A selection of 70 works from the permanent collection (painting, drawing, watercolors, prints and objects) representative Dalí's various creations of the female image.
The selected works help trace the progression of Dalí's depiction of women from his early student days - images of varioius women as models in academic studies - to a later period when Gala becomes his chief model and muse. As a young man, the artist's sister Ana María was a prominent model. Girl's Back (1926) depicts Ana Maria's head as viewed from behind in a Renaissance style. By 1928, Dalí is searching for a more experimental style - and the woman in The Bather takes on disconcerting transformations and fragmentations. Dalí's treatment of the female during the Surrealist period varies, at times imbued with a disturbing eroticism, or evoking maternal and the "eternal feminine" interpretations based on mythological figures. In a mid-career work, Enchanted Beach with Three Fluid Graces (1938), Dalí treats the three female figures as the Three Fates.The surrealist and Freudian muse Gradiva becomes the spectral image of a woman as the object of obsession and the repressed forces of unconscious desire. His wife, Gala who becomes his exclusive model, is shown in this exhibition to gather all the many guises of woman.
The exhibition is curated by Joan Kropf and Dirk Armstrong.

University of South Florida's Centre Gallery Presents:
[ CONNECT/ DISCONNECT ]
by Maria Albornoz and Kim Johnson
June 24 - July 11, 2008
Reception: Friday, June 26 from 7 to 9 pm
Centre Gallery: located on the USF Tampa Campus in Marshall Center room 102
Maria Albornoz's new body of work pushes the limitations of her medium. For this exhibition, Albornoz has created remarkably fragile ceramic screens. Hundreds of hand built links interlock to create large-scale sculptures. Each individual link works together to form a larger whole, shifting the weight distribution of the work. Each link act as windows that allow the viewer see through them but together the piece stands strong with a heavy presence creating a spatial interaction with the gallery.
Kim Johnson often works within the realms of current environmental issues. Johnson's new body of work presents the complex and at times contentious relationships between man and nature. The exhibition will include a series of watercolor paintings and cutout works on paper. These works contextualize scientific data and depict projected changes of particular landmasses over the next hundred years. At first glance the works resemble a microscopic view of a cross section of some unknown organic material. Upon a closer view, one can make out a faint embossed line that creates an outline of what is now recognized as an aerial view of a state or continent. The abstracted patches of color reveal what the land will resemble in one hundred years.

His work is featured in many museums around the world including the Museum of Modern Art and the Vatican.
The interactive gallery, Challenge of Modern Art, is the only one of its kind on the west coast of Florida and showcases the only full scale replica of Pablo Picasso's Guernica, complete with an audio-visual explanation of the piece.

Women: Dalí's View
June 13 - September 21, 2008
A selection of 70 works from the permanent collection (painting, drawing, watercolors, prints and objects) representative Dalí's various creations of the female image.
The selected works help trace the progression of Dalí's depiction of women from his early student days - images of varioius women as models in academic studies - to a later period when Gala becomes his chief model and muse. As a young man, the artist's sister Ana María was a prominent model. Girl's Back (1926) depicts Ana Maria's head as viewed from behind in a Renaissance style. By 1928, Dalí is searching for a more experimental style - and the woman in The Bather takes on disconcerting transformations and fragmentations. Dalí's treatment of the female during the Surrealist period varies, at times imbued with a disturbing eroticism, or evoking maternal and the "eternal feminine" interpretations based on mythological figures. In a mid-career work, Enchanted Beach with Three Fluid Graces (1938), Dalí treats the three female figures as the Three Fates.The surrealist and Freudian muse Gradiva becomes the spectral image of a woman as the object of obsession and the repressed forces of unconscious desire. His wife, Gala who becomes his exclusive model, is shown in this exhibition to gather all the many guises of woman.
The exhibition is curated by Joan Kropf and Dirk Armstrong.

FLORIDA HOLOCAUST MUSEUM TO FEATURE HISTORY EXHIBITION ABOUT THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE
The Florida Holocaust Museum is pleased to present its newest exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide during World War I. The exhibition will be open April 19, 2008 through October 19, 2008. The exhibition's opening event will include a requiem ceremony by St. Hagop Armenian Church, a Curator Talk by Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and a presentation by Eileen Barsamian Jennings, a child of Armenian Genocide survivors, on April 24th at 7pm at the Florida Holocaust Museum. The event is free and open to the public but reservations are strongly encouraged as seating is limited; please call (727) 820 - 0100 ext. 234.
The mass murder of the Armenian people in Anatolia, now referred to by most historians and human rights organizations as "The Armenian Genocide," destroyed a civilization that had resided in Anatolia for thousands of years. The killing of 1-1.5 million Armenians occurred mostly in 1915-1916 during World War I, but continued sporadically after the war until 1923.
This new text and image panel exhibition, The Greatest Crime of the War: The Armenian Genocide During World War I, begins with a history of the Armenian people and follows the political and international events leading up to the genocide. Using images and photographs, including those taken by Armin T. Wegner, the exhibition portrays the genocide itself, including photos of victims, perpetrators and survivors, and concludes with panels discussing denial and justice and the legacy of the Armenian Genocide.
The exhibit was curated by Guest Curator Mary Johnson, Ph.D., and Co-Curator Stephen Feinstein, Ph.D., and is proudly sponsored by the Lincy Foundation.
The exhibition will be available for loan to interested institutions in January 2009. For more information, please contact Erin Stagner at 727-820-0100 ext. 250.

Oh What A Beautiful Web We Weave (And Stencil And Dye And Sew).
In DFAC's next exhibition series, Textiles XXX Three, fiber arts rule supreme! We join other arts organizations throughout Tampa Bay in celebrating the presence of the Handweaver's Guild of America's biannual conference, 'Convergence 2008', in Tampa on June 22 - 28, with three distinct exhibits of extraordinary fiber works.
In Luminous, the community honors beloved friend, faculty member and artist, Jan Boyer, who passed away in 2006. Jan's magnificent natural mineral and pigment dyed works are an enduring testimony to her enormous gifts and unforgettable spirit. This exhibit was jointly curated by Jan's friends and colleagues in the Tampa Bay Surface Design Guild.
Connie Lippert is a weaver from South Carolina who specializes in the Navaho Wedge Weave, a demanding technique that dates back to the 1870's.
The artist writes:
"I obtain my colors with natural dyes - mainly indigo, madder, goldenrod, black walnut and marigold. As a result, I have become aware of the rich local history of indigo, once considered blue gold in the state of South Carolina, where I live. I grow and use fresh indigo for some of my indigo dyeing.
My work celebrates nature and the spirit that reveres the natural world - a world I fear we are losing. My message is one of environmental respect and protection."
Connie Lippert will be represented at this year's Convergence conference.
In the Entel Gallery exhibition, Surfacing, members of Tampa Bay's Surface Design Guild exhibit a variety of contemporary textile trends including works in: dyeing, art quilting, felting, weaving, embroidery, doll-making, beading and stitching. Join us on Saturday, May 17 from 11am to 1pm, to see the Surface Design Guild artists shine as they demonstrate their individual areas of expertise.
All three exhibitions open Friday May 16th with a reception from 7-9 pm ($5 admission - FREE for members), and continue through July 6th.

University of South Florida's Centre Gallery Presents:
[ CONNECT/ DISCONNECT ]
by Maria Albornoz and Kim Johnson
June 24 - July 11, 2008
Reception: Friday, June 26 from 7 to 9 pm
Centre Gallery: located on the USF Tampa Campus in Marshall Center room 102
Maria Albornoz's new body of work pushes the limitations of her medium. For this exhibition, Albornoz has created remarkably fragile ceramic screens. Hundreds of hand built links interlock to create large-scale sculptures. Each individual link works together to form a larger whole, shifting the weight distribution of the work. Each link act as windows that allow the viewer see through them but together the piece stands strong with a heavy presence creating a spatial interaction with the gallery.
Kim Johnson often works within the realms of current environmental issues. Johnson's new body of work presents the complex and at times contentious relationships between man and nature. The exhibition will include a series of watercolor paintings and cutout works on paper. These works contextualize scientific data and depict projected changes of particular landmasses over the next hundred years. At first glance the works resemble a microscopic view of a cross section of some unknown organic material. Upon a closer view, one can make out a faint embossed line that creates an outline of what is now recognized as an aerial view of a state or continent. The abstracted patches of color reveal what the land will resemble in one hundred years.
