Please join us for the third and final lecture in the Department of Art's 2023/24 Visiting Artist Series. FSU Department of Art Presents: Amina Ross Thursday, January 18th 6pm at the Fine Arts Building Rm. 249 530 West Call St. Tallahassee [cid:32c1cbab-6e55-4aa2-93e7-3821fc9e6164] Ross makes videos, sculptures, sounds, and situations. Their creative practice is characterized by a commitment to fragmented narratives, free-association, and the multiplicity of meaning within the interplay of images, words, sounds and signs. Drawing inspiration from the nuanced nature of language, Ross often uses language that carries double meanings, inviting viewers to explore layers of interpretation. Their artistic endeavors exist within a dynamic intersection of video art and sculpture, serving as a platform to explore themes of feeling, embodied knowledge, and intimacy as vital survival technologies, particularly for Black, queer, trans, and feminine-spectrum individuals. In the realm of video art and sculpture, Ross's work transcends conventional storytelling, they harness the evocative power of words and imagery to conjure deep-seated emotions and sensations. At the heart of Ross's creative inquiry lies an exploration of how systems of power shape our perception of reality. Ross?s work has been recently exhibited at the Hessel Museum of Art (Hudson, NY), the Tang Teaching Museum (Saratoga Springs, NY), Sentiment (Zurich, CH), Wave Hill (Bronx, NY), The Luminary (St. Louis, MO), Iceberg Projects (Chicago, IL), M23 (New York, NY) and Centro De Cultura Digital (Mexico City, MX) among other venues. In the summer of 2023 they were a featured artist at the 68th annual Flaherty Film Seminar: Queer World Mending. Please join us for the third and final lecture in the Department of Art?s 2023/24 Visiting Artist Series. For this academic year?s programming we have invited guests whose creative work and research connect with a broadly defined theme of ?listening.? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please read through everything and let me know if you have any questions. News and Reminders * Chase is on leave and Judy is retiring at the end of this semester. * A reminder that written content and time-based work need to be sent to the reviewers 1 week in advance of a formal review. * Install rooms are now available to be reserved for reviews. Email Tenee. If you're not subscribed to the Google calendar that shows the room availability, let Tenee know. * Work schedules: * GA contract dates: 1/1/24 - 5/3/24 * GTA Dates: 1/1/24 - 5/7/24 * The work week is Friday - Thursday (according to Tori and HR) CAB * NASAD review is happening in February. The chair and the dean are constantly reminding us that everything has to look clean and cared for. Please reign in anything that is spilling out from your studio, keep shared spaces clean and organized (including outdoors), etc. * NO FOOD storage or preparation at CAB except for in the MFA lounge. Please clean up any messes immediately so we don't end up with pest/rodent problems. * This wasn't mentioned in the meeting, but we're going with the following rule: If your name is not on an article of food in the refrigerator, it may be thrown away. This gives people the ability to throw away food that looks like it's been there too long. Please keep track of your own food, if possible, however. It's no one else's responsibility to keep the kitchen clean and free of old food (not April's, not the cleaning staff) * Remember that there is a link for submitting anonymous feedback to me and Tenee: https://fla.st/7LPFLFYB . Tenee will be printing QR codes for the MFA lounge and the fishbowl door. * Fill out the CAB Usage Survey if you haven't already: https://fsu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6yDWXw7kdQZTbT0 Important Changes * The process for taking an undergraduate class is that you will need to fill out the attached form, have the instructor fill out their part and sign, then bring the form to Tenee during the registration window. Since faculty approved this after Spring registration, this will technically start in Fall, but I would appreciate it if you could go through this process for any Spring UG classes that you are already enrolled it. It will get faculty used to the process and help us figure out where the hiccups are. Submit the forms to Tenee once you and the instructor have completed and signed it. Action Items * Tenee is going to print and post the QR codes and a sign for the refrigerator with the new policy * Audrey is going to update Rob on the progress of the NASAD WMC show. Rob will pass that info on to Jeff. * Rob is going to let Jeff know about the need to have a way of paging/communicating with the security guard when they are away from the front desk! * Rob is going to make sure that Jeff knows about kiln candling as one of the times that CAB usage shifts. * Rob is going to ask Jeff to tell the dean that students would appreciate more notice when parking is affected at CAB (so they can decide whether to come in or not on that day). Thank you all!! And let me know if I missed anything or if you have any questions!

Madison Street Quincy, FL Reception: Saturday, January 20, 2024, 5?7pm at Gadsden Arts Exhibition runs: December 16, 2023 ? March 23, 2024 Sam McCoy and Christopher Rivera explore Southern landscapes in this series of plein-air paintings. Each has taken a different approach while painting from scenes that they observe. Drawing inspiration from lush Florida?s landscapes, McCoy attempts to communicate the many complexities of the state?s tourist culture. Conversely, Rivera explores the connection between on-screen media and popular culture, using found video and imagery to inspire hyper-realistic landscape paintings. Through their art, the artists aim to encourage viewers to ponder their own relationships with nature. Both McCoy and Rivera graduated from the University of Central Florida with a BFA in 2018 and an MFA from Florida State University in 2021. McCoy is currently the Artist Programs Manager at Thomasville Center for the Arts in Thomasville, GA. Rivera is the Sculpture Lab Studio Manager and Studio Art Adjunct at Florida State University. ---------------------- Send details on all future department events directly to mivory at fsu.edu.
