April 7 – May 26, 2006 About the Juror: Claudia X. Valdes Claudia X. Valdes is an intermedia artist and educator concerned primarily with issues of time, memory, and perception. She was born in Santiago, Chile. Valdes received an M.F.A degree and was awarded the Eisner Prize in Art from the University of California, Berkeley in 2001. Her work has been exhibited internationally at venues including the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; WRO the Armory Center for the Arts, Pasadena, CA; the UCR/California Museum of Photography; Art in General, New York; Centro Multimedia/Centro National de las Artes, Mexico; the Center for Media Art, Wroclaw, Poland; and the Werkstätten und Kulturhaus, Austria. Recent awards include a scholarship from the Banff New Media Institute in Canada and an Honorable Mention at the 2006 Transmediale festival for art and digital culture in Berlin, Germany. Valdes has developed and taught digital media art courses at UC Berkeley; the Center for Digital Arts and Experimental Media, University of Washington, Seattle; UC Santa Cruz; and Mills College. She was also a visiting artist at Stanford University and the Walter Chapin Simpson Center for the Humanities at the University of Washington. Museum Director’s Statement As director of the Contemporary Art Museum I have been committed supporting the annual juried student exhibition for 30 years. While I am sad to see this exhibition replaced, the faculty of the School of Art and Art History has decided to use the spring semester to present a show of M.F.A candidates. It is my hope that the Annual Juried Student Art Exhibition will continue in a different venue. Participation in exhibitions is a critical component of the educational experience of the studio art student. Over the past 30 years we have been fortunate to have our students’ artwork reviewed by many distinguished jurors, including: Marcia Tucker, Roberta Smith, The Guerilla Girls, The Art Guys, Jerry Saltz, Elyse Goldberg, Allan McCollum and Robert Stackhouse. This year's juror is Claudia X. Valdes, an intermedia artist and educator who lives and works in San Francisco. She selected this show, representing diverse media and ideas, from over 150 entries. Thanks to the Contemporary Art Museum staff once again for managing the many details in organizing the student show: Alexa Favata, Victoria Billig, Don Fuller, Peter Foe, David Waterman, Randy West, Tony Palms and his staff — James Rodger, Denton Crawford, Amber Cobb and Jordan Starr-Bochicchio. James Rodger is also recognized for coordinating all the entries and assisting the juror. Lesley Brousseau made arrangements for the reception and related events. In addition, I thank the staff at Graphicstudio including: Kristin Soderqvist, Noel Smith and Nicki Kruszka, for assisting with Claudia’s talk on her work. My thanks to Claudia for her willingness to give of her time and travel across the country to jury our student show. Most of all I appreciate her careful evaluation of our students' ideas and their commitment to professionalism. Each year, a group of loyal friends from the community, along with the faculty and staff of the School of Art & Art History and the Institute for Research in Art - Graphicstudio / Contemporary Art Museum, join in recognizing students by contributing monetary awards. We are very grateful for this support, as it adds to the vitality and excitement of the exhibition. Please note the names of the generous contributors listed in this brochure. Congratulations to all the artists in the exhibition and to the award recipients. Margaret Miller School Director's Statement Congradulations to the students included in the 30th Annual USF Student Art Exhibition. Your imagination, critical thinking and hard work reflect positively on all of us in the School of Art and Art History and the University. I know that the faculty join me in sharing in this celebration. This year’s exhibition also coincides with the 50th Anniversary of USF. The arts have been instrumental in the maturation of the university and, indeed, the entire Tampa Bay region. The Student Exhibition features many artists who are the future cultural leaders of the community – and beyond. Thanks to all of the staff members of the Museum as well as the students who have worked on this exhibition. Also thanks to the faculty, institutions, and private citizens who have provided support and awards for our students and this exhibition. Your belief in our mission is gratifying. A very special thanks to the juror this year, Claudia X. Valdes, who spent countless hours reviewing the submitted artworks, meeting with our students and providing an insightful lecture. Also, I want to extend sincere appreciation to Dr. Paula Lee — who read and judged the research papers in the Art History Competition. I am always struck by how fortunate we all are to be so thoroughly engaged in the best of both worlds: learning and art. We welcome the community to our annual celebration. Enjoy!
