SUMMARY:An Incomplete Collection of Impossible Projects
DESCRIPTION:An Incomplete Collection of Impossible Projects \n\n\n\nGary R. Libby University Gallery\, University Galleries\, The University of Florida \n\n\n\nAn Incomplete Collection of Impossible Projects is the result of a course delivered by artist Eduardo Abaroa to a diverse group of UF students (María del Pilar Arrieta\, Taylor Baxley\, Ellery Burgess\, Salenka Chinchin\, Tomas Curcio\, Valentina Galván\, Rachel Sue Horn\, Valerie Luciow\, Nicolle Luzardo\, Elaine Machado\, Gwen Maxwell\, Gabriel de la Torre\, and Ivonne Zelaya). The artist asked each student to imagine a project that they thought was impossible to conclude. Abaroa designed a dynamic exhibition space to display the impossible projects conceived by the group. \n\n\n\nThese are some of the guidelines: \n\n\n\nEach artist has to imagine an impossible project. Among other possibilities\, it can be something fantastic\, imaginary\, something technically unfeasible\, a poetic idea. \n\n\n\nEven if a project can not actually be constructed or achieved\, a plan can still be imagined to communicate it. The challenge is to make each project visible to other people simulating their imagination via models\, props\, drawings\, videos\, text\, etc. \n\n\n\nAsk important questions: What is the project\, exactly? Why is it impossible to make? How would we do it? Why would we do it? Why wouldn´t we do it? \n\n\n\nA project may be impossible to complete\, but investigating this failure can reveal many things about our lives\, fears\, hopes\, mistakes\, and certainties. Some projects are simply too ambitious\, others are real technical challenges to human civilizations. We will find examples of poetry\, unfettered intellectual ambition\, or fantasy. \n\n\n\nEduardo Abaroa and the group of artists devised a wooden polymorphic structure to display the 14 projects resulting from the course. The irregular structure alludes to an evolving discussion\, which may turn in unexpected directions\, reach dead ends\, or piled up without apparent reason. Artistic discussion can be thought of as a particular material itself. \n\n\n\nWe consider the exhibition space as a medium that demands a constant reflection of its boundaries. For example: Who is the spectator? Who is the artist? That is why we have an “Impossible Projects” depository. Visitors to the show are invited to write down their own impossible projects using the Impossible Project Request Form and then put it in the available Impossible Projects deposit. After the exhibition opens\, we will select some of these projects to visualize them in a similar way that we produced our pieces. \n\n\n\nThis exhibition is possible thanks to the generous support from CLAS and the School of Art + Art History (SA+AH)\, University of Florida\, Gainesville. We are especially thankful to Carlos de la Torre\, director of CLAS\, for his support and visionary understanding of the importance of cultural manifestations of\, from and in Latin America contemporary artistic practices. \n\n\n\nEduardo Abaroa is the Kislak Family Foundation Artist in Residence at the Center for Latin American Studies (CLAS).

SUMMARY:Where I Go\, The Mountain Goes
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday\, January 17\, 2025\, 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. for the first opening reception of the spring semester at 4Most Gallery. \n\n\n\nExhibition Title: “Where I Go\, The Mountain Goes” \n\n\n\nArtist: Elmira Yousefi\, 3rd year MFA in Art (Printmaking) Candidate \n\n\n\nArtist Statement: “‘Where I Go\, the Mountain Goes’ represents my relationship with the mountains surrounding my homeland of Tehran. These mountains\, despite their familiarity\, represent displacement. In this context\, displacement means moving an object or its memory from one place to another. When an object is relocated to a space where it originally does not belong\, its presence transforms the meaning. Mountains in my work become metaphors for belonging and home. The show reflects my efforts to reconstruct a sense of home in the face of absence by transforming the immovable into something portable and present” (Yousefi\, 2025). \n\n\n\nRefreshments will be provided at the opening reception. This exhibition will be open for viewing through January 27\, 2024.
