[cid:6236d349-1164-4b91-9e17-24d2bc326434] Horizon: Speculative Worlds and Interdisciplinary Research Featuring 2025 IDEA Grant and Honors in the Major Recipients from FSU Studio Art. Horizon celebrates the original research and creative innovation of Florida State University?s emerging undergraduate scholars. Showcasing the work of Audrey Lendvay, Antonia Pretelt, Alex Davidoff, Raven Watkins, and Joanna Godfrey; this exhibition highlights the extraordinary achievements of students whose projects were supported through FSU?s IDEA Grants for Creative Research and the Honors in the Major program. Working across painting, sculpture, installation, printmaking, and interdisciplinary practices, these BFA and BA student-artists investigate speculative worlds, embodied knowledge, ecological futures, cultural memory, and the shifting landscapes of identity and technology. Their research-driven artworks demonstrate the intellectual rigor and imaginative breadth that define contemporary art-making at FSU. Horizon invites viewers to witness the next generation of artists as they test boundaries, envision new possibilities, and expand the horizon of what undergraduate creative research can be. Opening Reception: Thursday, February 5th, 5:00 - 7:00pm Talk by the artists will begin at 5:30 *For anyone who would like to hear about Idea Great and HITM research this would be a great event to attend!

Message-ID: [cid:8ea1ae7a-b8ff-4ac8-bcd5-416823945d1b] BINARY EXHIBITION AT WORKING METHOD CONTEMPORARY GALLERY Over time, humans have displayed an affinity for categorization. People are categorized into category A or B, ideas and morals are looked at as either black or white, and complex structures are packaged into neat boxes in order to make them ?easier? to comprehend. How far have patterns of binary categorization and thinking extended into different facets of our culture today? Is this for better, for worse, or both? This open call is for artwork that explores and responds to binary forms of thinking and categorization present within our current society. Binary can be explored through expressions of what our current society deems as ?black? or ?white,? or even the ?gray? spaces in-between that exist outside of categorization. This can be explored in specific or broader contexts. An opening reception for this exhibition will be held on February 13th from 4:00-7:00pm at Working Method Contemporary Gallery inside the Carnaghi Arts Building, 2214 Belle Vue Way, Tallahassee, FL, 32304 Opening reception: Friday, February 13, 2026, 4:00 ? 7:00pm Working Method Contemporary Gallery Carnaghi Arts Building 2214 Belle Vue Way Tallahassee, FL -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Message-ID: I was at a Graduate Directors' meeting this morning and learned of a TON of workshop opportunities for grads. Please check out these links - there are literally dozens of workshops coming up, so there is probably something of interest to you: * https://ogfa.fsu.edu/resources/workshops - funding and writing workshops * https://cies.fsu.edu/programs/english-academic-purposes/eap-workshops - academic writing, avoiding plagiarism, English pronunciation. (many on this page have already passed but the list I saw showed several coming up that would be helpful to anyone for whom English is a second language) * https://gsrc.fsu.edu/events-and-workshops - lists Graduate Student Resource Center workshops and also library workshops for grads. It says you need to take one of these to be able to apply for the GSRC Travel Grant * https://teaching.fsu.edu/workshops-seminars/ - CAT teaching workshops * https://teaching.fsu.edu/upcoming-events-for-graduate-students/ - more CAT workshops Some of these units offer custom workshops - they will come to us. If you think of a topic that isn't covered above, let me know and I can figure out who might be able to bring a workshop to our group.

Message-ID: Hello All, I cordially invite you to attend the Lay of the Land, a Department of Art Faculty Symposium + Exhibition Opening, taking place next Friday, February 20th at the FSU Facility for Arts Research. The exhibition is composed of works by faculty. The symposium and exhibition examine our complex relationships with the landscapes we inhabit. Purposefully open-ended, the project invites a wide range of approaches. Some works address the impacts of climate change and the cascading, interrelated anthropogenic forces shaping our world, while others investigate the mutability of land itself. From landscapes that bear historical and physical scars of past conflicts, to critiques of the limitations and violence embedded in conventional cartographic practices, to more personal and poetic reflections on place - the works collectively underscore an urgent need to rethink modern societal structures, reimagining humans not as separate from nature, but as deeply embedded within it. Exhibiting Artists: Jonathan Christensen Caballero Kevin Curry Brian Dick Lilian Garcia-Roig Katie Kehoe Keith Roberson Jean Shon Anne Stagg The Symposium will take place from 2:00 - 5:30 pm, with the format being pairs of artists presenting their work followed by a guided Q+A. Thematic links between artist works and practices will be explored, and audience members will be invited to ask questions as well. Here's the schedule: 2:00 - 3:00 : Brian Dick + Keith Roberson 3:00 - 4:00 : Jonathan Christensen Caballero + Kevin Curry ????????(break) 4:15 - 5:15 : Jean Shon + Anne Stagg The reception will begin directly after the symposium, and the opening will last until 8:00 pm. It's a rare opportunity to see faculty within the department discussing their work, and I encourage you all to join!

Please see below. ---------------- Dear Colleagues, I?m pleased to invite you to the closing reception and artist talk for Water Ways: Indigenous Ecologies and Florida Heritage on Thursday, February 26, at the FSU Museum of Fine Arts. The reception begins at 5:00 pm, followed by an artist talk and performance at 6:00 pm by Samboleap Tol, whose work has been a central presence in the exhibition. Samboleap Tol is a Khmer artist working with kinetic sound sculpture. Her practice engages the postcolonial diasporic psyche, examining how political disruption and displacement shape generational understandings of love, faith, and dignity. Her talk and performance, titled The Tortoise as a Passage: Crossing Rivers, reflects on The Cosmic Tortoise, an animated teakwood sculpture created in response to the sudden passing of her father during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on Cambodian artistic traditions, Buddhist ritual, and Southeast Asian manuscript cultures, the work serves as a vessel for grief, memory, and transition. With the press of a button, the sculpture opens to reveal a handwritten manuscript accompanied by an early-twentieth-century Khmer funerary song intended to guide the dead between realms. Music, movement, and mythology place the work at the threshold between this world and the afterlife. During the talk, Tol will discuss the development of the artwork and offer reflections for artists engaging their cultural heritage. The presentation concludes with a gratitude dance honoring the artisans and culture bearers who contributed to the work during its development in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. I hope you?ll join us for this closing event and please share the invitation with your students! [cid:10120d08-302d-4f75-96d2-bc3fa0b5f78a] Elizabeth A.
