PICTURE(SQUE): Ellen Harvey Works, 1999-2025

August 24, 2026 – March 6, 2027
USF Contemporary Art Museum

PICTURE(SQUE): Ellen Harvey Works, 1999-2025 presents four major bodies of work by the celebrated Anglo-American artist that honor and question ideas around travel, memory, monuments and history making. Harvey’s artworks memorialize lost places and interrogate existing ones; additionally, they turn a warm eye toward human beings’ relationships with their lived environment, while asking us to envision new ways of being in the future.
