✨️✨️Opening this Friday June 7th 6-9✨️✨️
Lindsay Carlton's exhibition: Femme Absurde
Statement from the artist:
"Borrowing from the infamous "femme fatale" archetype, Femme Absurde explores seduction, confusion, and familiarity through experimental filmmaking and video installation. In my practice, I use my own body as a female avatar to create and perform bizarre characters
constructed from my own experiences being born into the era of internet culture and the impacts this has had on feminism. My work is
meant to simultaneously seduce and repulse viewers, as well as distort the understanding of existing female archetypes in media. Through these experimental films, I recognize and explore the absurdity of the virtual performer as well as societal expectations of the female body in our contemporary world. Utilizing found audio from popular culture as well as incorporating existing media elements into my characters and performances, I intend for the viewers of my work to maintain some level of familiarity within the visual and auditory absurdity I showcase."

PLANE PRINT: CAN I CALL THIS PLACE MY HOME?
An exhibition by Benedicta Opoku-Mensah
"Plane print: can I call this place my home? " Invites audience to navigate the complexity of my journey of self-discovery—a fusion of past and present, art and poetry, foreign lands, and the essence of home.
In this installation I place my audience in an interactive space, encouraging them to engage in a process of discovery. Scorched phrases on slabs of wood form a poetic puzzle, each piece contributing to a larger narrative that encapsulates my experience as Female sculpture artist opting for a less traveled path in my home country. The physicality of the wood, marked by fire, represents the enduring impact of my journey, each burn a testament to a challenge faced and overcome.
As you piece together the fragments, you step into my world, feeling the weight of my self-discovery and the echo of a distant home.

Light refreshments provided

Please join us at 4Most Gallery this Friday, April 26th from 6-9PM for Intertwined by Rosie Lenz!

The labors that take place inside and outside of a farmhouse all lead to a farm’s success. Motivated by the often unrecognized labor of farmers and their support systems, Rosemary Lenz gives viewers a glimpse into the family farm she grew up on.
By overlapping the materials, techniques, and actions found inside and outside of the farmhouse Lenz emphasizes that the roles of the farm are not separate but shared by all. This shared responsibility leads to shared stress and shared accomplishment.
The labor from the kitchen is woven into the work in the field; the material and stress from outside tracks itself into the house. It is all intertwined.

Please join us this Friday, March 8th, at 4Most Gallery from 6-9pm for Tiny Show - a group show exhibiting various art works of the smaller variety, all brought together for a big fun time!💫

“There is a certain sense of wonder and intimacy conjured by an artwork that you can hold, one that no towering sculpture can replicate. We interact with these artifacts and become a new universe’s architect. These pieces explore worlds we construct through toys and speculation in spite of demands for larger and larger works. The body of work contains a variety of 2D and 3D mediums, but none exceed the volume of the cube.”

Looking back on UF in Lille: Engineering and Arts Exhibit⭐️

Please join us at 4Most Gallery this Friday, February 23, from 6-9pm for We Never Thought We’d Be Here by Karina Yanes

We Never Thought We’d Be Here, an art exhibit featuring work by Karina Yanes, will speak to the everyday losses and triumphs of Palestinian culture over the course of generations by retelling familial stories through the artist’s own lens as a Puerto Rican-Palestinian-Midwesterner living in Florida. This show will highlight the persistence of Palestinian culture, while acknowledging the ways that cultures naturally shift and change through time and displacement.

✨ Please join us this Friday for UF in Lille: Engineering and Arts Exhibit 🧑‍🎨🇫🇷🧑‍💻

“The exhibition highlights the growing ties between the School of Art and the College of Engineering. During the summer of 2023, a group of UF engineering students attended ‘Engineering Art Sketchbook’ taught by Joel Parker and Kenny Wilson in Lille, France. Through daily practice and on-site drawing, these students learned how to develop their technical drawing skills, experience a sense of place, analyze art history, and translate their everyday experiences into sketchbook practice. Locations for these drawings include but are not limited to: Lille, Brussels, La Piscine, Bruges, Palais des Beaux Arts, Université Catholique de Lille, and more.”

Tomorrow is the last day to check out ’s show “Traces”, make sure to stop by!

Looking back on Tea Literary & Art Magazine’s show “Text and Sketch” from earlier this month 🫖

Please join us at 4Most Gallery this Friday, January 26th, from 6-9PM for Dustin Adams’ show “Traces”.
“Traces” will be on display January 26th-February 2nd.

“By corresponding with the natural environment through walking, I enter into a dialogue with it. In doing so, I identify the connections between the traces that humans and animals leave in nature, as well as traces left by environmental causes or changes to the natural environment. With my camera, I capture these traces and produce books from my walks.

My work is site-specific. Each of my books are produced from photographs made at specific sites. For example, I have books made from walks completed at Caribou-Targhee National Forest, Shired Island, McCoy Creek, Seahorse Key, and Sweetwater Preserve. At each of these sites, I approach photography through a process that is based on a set of rules. These rules change at each specific site. The rules I created for photographing Shired Island, for example, involved taking a photograph to the right, in portrait orientation, with the horizon in the top third, every 20 paces, and repeating this while walking the whole island. The purpose of the rules is to de-skill the process of making a photograph, while adding an element of chance. Taking away my control of composition and selection of content breaks down the traditional tropes of fine art nature photography, such as rule of thirds, perspective change, leading lines, framing, symmetry, depth of field, and the use of light and shadow. The element of chance enables me to create a series of photographs that would have otherwise not been made”.

Please join us at 4Most Gallery this Friday, Jan. 12th, from 6-9pm for Tea Literary & Art Magazine’s show - Text and Sketch - poems about art & art about poems ✨


“Tea Literary & Arts Magazine is UF’s biggest undergraduate magazine. Every year it cultivates the best art, whether visual or literary, from undergraduate students across campus. Text + Sketch exhibition shows how art and literature work hand-in-hand. For every art piece, there’s a story. For every story, there’s a great work of art supporting it. These collaborations display the vast array of UF students and the staff of Tea.”

✨️THIS SUNDAY 4-7✨️
WARP & 4MOST CO-OPENING
featuring Tanja Vuksanovic & the students of WARP.
Refreshments provided.
Statement from the artists:
Tanja Vuksanovic
"IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE" is an art installation that takes inspiration from traditional still life paintings, but makes a point to eschew traditional methodology.
It’s foundation is repurposed cardboard boxes structured as columns to resemble art pedestals. These pedestals expose inexpensive, chintzy products from online retailers as a way to open a conversation about the evolution and concept behind a still life.
In the past, still life painters aimed to capture something organic, and memorialize it in art before nature could run it’s course. "IT'S THE LITTLE THINGS IN LIFE" however highlights how so many of the commonplace objects of a contemporary, consumerist society will remain unchanged and still, free from the worry of decomposition, and outlive even the artist."
WARPocalypse
WARP (Workshop for Art Research and Practice) presents Surviving the WARPocalypse, an exhibition offering a glimpse into the minds of undergraduate art and design students wrestling with an infamous design-problem: How can we prevent people 10,000 years into the future from uncovering, and thereby becoming victims of, the nuclear waste of today?

In the remote desert of southeastern New Mexico, the United States government manages the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, a nuclear waste depository buried 2,150 feet below the surface of the earth. With the recent establishment of this complicated facility, how might employing art and design principles help stop future populations from excavating toxic waste, especially when we cannot assume they will share or understand our current languages, symbols, or technologies? WARP students have collaborated to address this question, designing and building six sculptural scale-models of hypothetical landscape marking systems.

Ponder this far-future problem with us at WARPhaus on Sunday from 4-7 pm.

Please join us ✨️TOMORROW✨️from 6-9pm at 4Most gallery for Dinner and a Show. A group show with works from Nolan Ferguson, Ursa Johnson, Ash Joseph, Krystal Majid, Marina Molins, Skylar Nellegar, Shona Tonberlin, and Lilith Walter. 
Gathering for a meal is one of the most universal settings for communion with others. In a tangible sense, humans rely on food and water for sustenance. We also cannot thrive without exchanges of experience, culture, or rituals. Dinner is often reserved for the most important exchanges, demanding the highest level of opulence. Studio 117 would like to formally invite you to Dinner and a Show, wherein we will interrogate the practices and intentions behind our arrangements of dinners, how we construct rituals amongst each other, and what we derive from consumption.

✨️Opening this Friday November 3rd at 4Most Gallery for Rubin Gabeau's exhibition Quaternity.✨️

Opening from 6-9pm

Refreshments provided

Statement from the artist:

"Quaternity" is an immersive sculpture show that explores the concept of how the physical world comes into being and is sustained through quaternity. The show juxtaposes three sculptures (the trinity) and one expansive drawing (the one). The term "quaternity" represents a union of four; distinct elements often associated with fundamental principles such as Earth, Air, Fire, Water, the seasons, and the cardinal directions.

The show delves into this symbolism, presenting three sculptures that embody different facets of this concept while harmoniously complementing each other. One sculpture displayed directly on the floor, one on a pole and another against a wall, each sculpture invites contemplation of its own and its connection to the quaternity through materials, form, and symbolism. The fourth component, the large drawing, serves as a visual bridge, connecting and intertwining these sculptures within the viewer's mind. 

The exhibition invites contemplation, of the elements regarding aspects that are known and also unknowable, and embark on a journey of discovery within the realms of the human psyche. "Quaternity Unveiled" ponders interconnectedness of our own lives, encouraging us to find meaning in the harmonious way in which the opposite unites.
