The Gadsden Arts Center & Museum is hosting "residual heat," a comprehensive exhibition featuring works by MFA, BFA, and BA students from Florida State University’s Department of Art. Curated by Professor Carrie Ann Baade alongside students Audrey Lendvay and Stephanie Rowe, the show includes a diverse array of media such as painting, sculpture, and photography. The collection specifically explores thematic concerns regarding memory, temporal change, and the concept of what persists over time.
This exhibition serves as a vital bridge between academia and the professional art world, showcasing the emerging talent from one of Florida's major research universities. By providing students with a platform at a regional museum, the event highlights the evolution of contemporary art practices and offers the public a first look at the artists who will likely shape the future of the regional and national art landscape.
