The Return of the Real: Robert Lazzarini and Rodrigo Valenzuela
In an era increasingly dominated by fabricated fears, alternative facts and fake news, the artists Robert Lazzarini (U.S., b. 1965) and Rodrigo Valenzuela (Chile, b. 1982) rearrange, reconstruct and ultimately distort reality in order to question its most fundamental premises. Their two-person exhibition, The Return of the Real, illustrates, among other things, how the real is made up of more than just perception�its surfaces can, in fact, harbor fantastical possibilities. This exhibition is curated by Christian Viveros-Faun�, and organized by USF Contemporary Art Museum.

Arts4All: The Super Hero in Me!
Students in the Arts4All programs at Bloomingdale and Middleton high schools present works of art exploring what the concept of "superhero" means on a personal level via self-portraits. Fictional superheroes stimulate our imaginations to connect with something beyond ourselves. Superheroes are a symbol of hope�making yourself a better person by uncovering your strengths and using them for a good purpose. With the dilemmas and problems that superheroes face, they are amazing, strong, inspiring individuals who use their talents to do good for the world. Through this artwork, the students are encouraged to not only think about the qualities in superheroes that they find exciting, but to also look at the qualities within themselves that make them unique and a "hero" in their own life.
The Super Hero in Me! is presented by the USF Contemporary Art Museum, Art4All Florida, and the Hillborough County Public Schools

The Visible Turn: Contemporary Artists Confront Political Invisibility
The four international artists in The Visible Turn: Contemporary Artists Confront Political Invisibility, Karolina Sobecka, Bosco Sodi, Tavares Strachan, and Jorge Tacla, will create installations in response to the phenomenon of cultural concealment. They will combine the presentation of objects and performances inside an exhibition venue with artist-directed activities that engage and support communities in the Tampa Bay area affected by political or social invisibility. Together, the works refer to people and ideas that have crucially been omitted from today�s social, political, economic, and cultural processes. According to Duchamp�s logic, invisibility is impotence. What is powerful is to be seen.
Curated by Christian Viveros-Faun�; organized by USF Contemporary Art Museum. The Stanton Storer Embrace the Arts Foundation is the major supporter of The Visible Turn: Contemporary Artists Confront Political Invisibility. Bosco Sodi, MURO is sponsored by The Gobioff Foundation and USF World.

Breaking Barriers is a project by USFCAM in collaboration with the USF School of Art and Art History.
Miki Kratsman: People I Met
For three decades, Miki Kratsman has been one of the leading chroniclers of life in the Israeli-occupied territories. His photographs�many of them documentary images taken during a previous life as a press photographer for the Israeli newspapers Hadashot and Haaretz�uncover personal stories while revealing the violent, often detached nature of Israel's military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza. While trying to answer the question �What happened to the people in the photographs?,� Kratsman amassed a vast archive of more than 9,000 portraits of anonymous Palestinians, which he first uploaded onto a dedicated Facebook page in 2011. The USFCAM installation materializes the artist�s growing portrait archive together with identifying commentary that, in some cases, serves as a literal proof of life�or death. People I Met raises questions about the culture of representation and continues the museum�s tradition of presenting challenging artwork with social content. The exhibition also includes a video titled 70 Meters...White T-shirt, and several recent photographic series. Curated by USF Contemporary Art Museum curator-at-large Christian Viveros-Faun�; organized by USFCAM. Exhibition made possible by USF World and The Artis Grant Program.

Belgian artist David Claerbout has explored the conceptual framework of duration through use of film and digital photography throughout his career. His skilled manipulation of still and moving images appears to capture another dimension of existence, shifting between past and present. The element of sound is critical in many of his works, used as either a narrative device or a �guide� for the viewer to navigate the architectural space in the film. Claerbout�s oeuvre is characterized by a meticulous attention to production details, painstakingly created often over a period of years. The resultant works are immersive environments in which the viewer is invited to engage both philosophically and aesthetically. Curated by Margaret Miller; organized by USFCAM.

Titled after Marcel Duchamp's ready-made of a ball of string containing a mysterious sound-making object hidden in its folds, this exhibition brings together evocative sounds, some recognizable from traditional instruments and field recordings, and others masked through electronic processes. With Hidden Noise is curated by Stephen Vitiello, an artist who has worked with sound for over 20 years, transforming anodyne noises into compelling soundscapes. Artists include Vitiello and Taylor Deupree, Jennie C. Jones, Pauline Oliveros, Andrea Parkins, Steve Peters, Steve Roden and Michael J. Schumacher.

Oscar Muñoz's three-part video installationSedimentacionesis a poetic meditation on the photographic image and its power to evoke memory, loss and mortality, and to create, alter and erase history. Muñoz (Colombia, 1951) is known for his extensive use of photography and of ephemeral material. In his practice he defies categorization by medium, as he blurs the boundaries between photography, printmaking, drawing, installation, video and sculpture. While his work is rooted in the turbulent history of Colombia in the 1980s and 90s, with its guerrilla warfare, conflicts between the government and drug cartels, assassinations and "disappearances" of ordinary citizens, his explorations of the unstable nature of personal identity against the backdrop of history are universal. Sedimentaciones is exhibited courtesy of the Ella Fontanals-Cisneros Collection, Miami.

Making Sense brings together four artists who make distinctive contributions to contemporary painting. Through a range of approaches, they explore painting as a medium, a set of techniques, an historical institution and a framework for making sense. Inspired by WWII-era Enigma decoding machines, Rochelle Feinstein takes on puzzling figures of speech, inscrutable ideas and encrypted social codes as challenges for painterly representation. Using a method she calls �Random Select,� Deborah Grant creates imagined, non-linear narrative encounters between historical artists, interwoven with her own varied humanistic interests from literature to religion. Iva Gueorguieva adapts the visual language of modern abstraction to create tumultuous, energetic spaces on canvas; her process of building up paintings by layering torn cloth with pigment and color washes produces spontaneous, dynamic compositions rooted in personal stories. Dona Nelson�s two-sided paintings, stained and layered with strands of cheesecloth, invite viewers to encounter them as freestanding forms. Making Sense includes new works produced by Feinstein and Gueorguieva at Graphicstudio, the 45-year-old collaborative printmaking and sculpture atelier of the USF Institute for Research In Art.

The USF Contemporary Art Museum celebrates its 25th anniversary with CAM@25: Social Engagement to highlight its history of bringing artists, and the practice of making contemporary art, to the Tampa Bay community. This selection of installations serves to mark CAM's extensive history of exhibitions, commissions and collaborations with artists whose practices and projects embrace an ethos of responsible social meaning, purpose and motivation in the public sphere. Artists include Los Carpinteros, Pedro Reyes (Mexico), and Janaina Tschäpe (Brazil/Germany).
Los Carpinteros (Havana/Madrid) have collaborated with the USF Institute for Research in Art for nearly a decade, producing two and three-dimensional works while in residence at Graphicstudio as well as the exhibition Inventing the World, organized by CAM in 2005. For Social Engagement, CAM will reveal Los Carpinteros' newly conserved and fabricated work, Transportable City, 2000. This seminal installation from USFCAM's collection will be sited outdoors on grounds surrounding the Museum and illuminated at night. Ten three-quarter scale canvas structures—Apartment Building, Capitol, Church, Factory, Hospital, Lighthouse, Military, Prison, University, and Warehouse—are representative of everyday buildings that compose a larger whole. In addition, Conga Irreversible, a 2013 video, will be projected inside the Museum.

Imagine, 2012, a sculptural installation by Pedro Reyes, is a social/political statement on contemporary society and our responsibilities toward it. His projects serve as catalysts for communal and psychological transformation, encouraging group interaction and creativity, and poignant reminders of the consequences of inaction and apathy. The installation includes musical instruments created from firearms—including revolvers, shotguns and machine guns—crushed by tanks and steamrollers to render them useless. These were offered to the artist by the Mexican government following their confiscation and subsequent public destruction in the city of Ciudad Juarez. Reyes will be in residence at CAM to participate in a live performance of the instruments in conjunction with a Legislative Theatre Workshop with students from the community and from USF Theatre/Dance and Music.
Janaina Tschäpe returns to CAM with a new configuration of her video installation Blood, Sea, commissioned by USFCAM in 2004 and filmed at Florida's Weeki Wachee Springs. Tschäpe is a prolific mixed media artist with an international presence whose work blends mythology—evoked by the mermaids of Blood, Sea—with other spiritual and cultural influences from her complex German-Brazillian heritage. For CAM@25, Tschäpe will also create a new mixed media installation that includes sections from templates used in the print editions she has developed while in residence at Graphicstudio.
Art in the News, installed in the Genevieve Lykes Dimmitt Lobby Gallery for CAM@25, was a yearlong exhibition of artworks conceived for the context of a daily newspaper. Demonstrating CAM's commitment to social engagement, Art in the News took the form of a full newspaper page designed by an artist in consultation with CAM staff, and distributed via The Tampa Tribune to 330,000 subscribers once per month on Sundays during 1999. Following each publication, the artist traveled to Tampa to give a public presentation about his or her work at the Tampa Museum of Art. The project featured, in order of publication, artists William Wegman, Lucy Orta, Matthew Barney, Leslie Lerner, The Art Guys, Allan McCollum, Ed Paschke, Andrea Zittel, Keith Edmier, Lorna Simpson, Mariko Mori and Mark Mothersbaugh. In 2000, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), New York, acquired Art in the News for its permanent collection.
CAM@25 is supported in part by a grant from the Arts Council of Hillsborough County and the Board of Hillsborough County Commissioners, and ARTE: Tampa Bay's Festival of the Americas. Conservation of the Los Carpinteros project generously provided by the Knox Family Foundation. The Pedro Reyes project is supported in part by a grant from the USF College of The Arts (Funding generously provided by the Arnold and Louise Kotler Memorial Endowment and the Macy's Distinguished Artist Fund).

Megan Hildebrandt: Counting Radiation showcases 19 large-scale, ink and graphite on paper drawings by Hildebrandt that explore her experience battling cancer. Using tally marks, Hildebrandt creates a visual meditation on the meaning of time for cancer patients as they endure the seemingly endless waiting required by chemotherapy, CT scans and remission, and adapt to a life redefined by numbers (weight loss or gain, blood pressure, treatment hours, radiation exposure). "I use tally marks to evoke time and memory as landscape," Hildebrandt says. "To repeat a tally mark is to move a step further toward taming my history and future. I am tallying my past and future, drawing a desert that shifts perspectives, a landscape that rolls, tumbles, and caves in."
This exhibition of videos by Cuban artists working worldwide invites contemplation of what it means to occupy (a home, a plot of land, a city, a society…) and the relationship between occupying and building and the concept of the work of art in today's global culture. Three interconnected segments pose the question of how to reinvent a language for imagining what is public, private and intimate in a culture like Cuba's, where civil society has been supplanted by the State.

The Andy Warhol Legacy Project is an exhibition of 106 Polaroids and 50 gelatin silver prints the USF Contemporary Art Museum received in 2008 as a gift from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, as part of the Andy Warhol Photographic Legacy Program. The portraits, celebrity snapshots, couples, nudes, painting ideas, party photos, still lifes, and outdoor scenes that make up the gift demonstrate the range of Warhol's interests.
The Importance of Being Photographed takes its cue from the gift from The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts and Oscar Wilde's seminal play "The Importance of Being Earnest." Although separated by an ocean and almost a century, both Warhol and Wilde were interested in examining celebrity, beauty, sexuality, privacy, and despair. The American photographers in this exhibition continue to examine those themes, often revealing a rapport between the artist and his or her subject. Artists include: Tina Barney, Dawoud Bey, Katy Grannan, Jason Lazarus, Malerie Marder, Ryan McGinley, Catherine Opie, and Alec Soth.
The Importance of Being Photographed is curated by Jane Simon, USFCAM Curator, and organized by the USF Contemporary Art Museum, Tampa.

In Residence brings together the work of four Miami-based artists—Felecia Chizuko Carlisle, Naomi Fisher, Christy Gast, and Samantha Salzinger—who focus artistic inquiries on the contested space between the natural and the built environment. For decades, Miami has been the site of tremendous speculative real estate development, but it is also the southern edge of the famed Florida Everglades, a unique geography and the focus of a vast reclamation project. These artists fold the world around them into complex examinations of the history of art and an evolving understanding of landscape.

Elsewhere explores the familiar and often tragic theme of the quest. The artists included in this exhibition embark upon quixotic adventures to both real and imagined places - at times edging on the ridiculous, treacherous, and sublime. Pulling from sources as varied as Victorian expeditions, romantic tourism, travel literature, and Hollywood films, the artists in Elsewhere blend documentary styles with found footage, tableaux, and performance into potent mixtures of fact, fantasy, and feeling. To this end, they employ strategies of displacement, re-enactment, and repetition in an effort to erode the temporal boundaries implicit to existing representations of histories, identities, and geographies.

Since the mid-1990s, Brazilian artist Vik Muniz has been making an international impact with his photographs documenting images he has made in an astonishing variety of non-art, often ephemeral materials, including dirt, sugar, wire, string, chocolate syrup, peanut butter, fake blood, color chips, the circular paper remnants made by hole punches, and diamonds. Muniz' images are at once familiar—they are often of recognizable news images, works from art history, or well-known personages—and alien: after an initial moment or recognition, it quickly becomes clear that these images are not what they first seemed.

Its lexicon of popular icons, combined with fantasy spaces that make up the Disney theme parks, has become an entire vernacular culture. Disney has become synonymous with "American" culture. This exhibition featues the work of artists from diverse cultural backgrounds that reflect the effect of Disney's influence. As Disney continues to create fictional characters and places, the work of these 17 contemporary artists portray imaginary world and question the relationship of the real to the unreal.

This fascinating exhibition presents the work of 16 Cuban artists of the 1990s who explore irony as a strategy for psychological survival and oblique commentary. Embedded in their art is the notion that when political and personal problems are inescapable, humor may be one of the few outlets for the frustration, and a practical means to maintain stability within a context that appears at times to be rules by irrationality. The works reflect various views of the 1959 revolution and the realities of life in Cuba under the United Sates embargo. The artists work speculates on Cuba's complex past, its cultural uniqueness as a nexus of African, European and Asian cultures and exemplifies the concept of inventando, the improvisation and creative resourcefulness required for everyday survival. The exhibition is curated by Marilyn Zeitlin, Director of Arizona State University Art Museum in Tempe, and traveled by Independent Curators International (ICI), New York.

Artists include: Jane Callister, Phil Argent, Tim Bavington (Britain); Christine Seimens, Wayne Littlejohn (Canada); Yek Wong (Singapore); Aaron Baker, Cynthia Chan, Jack Hallberg, Jennifer Steinkamp and Mary Warner (United States).
