59th Annual All Florida Juried Competition and Exhibition
June 23 - August 8, 2010
The Museum's All Florida exhibition annually showcases the best prominent and emerging Florida artists working in all media today. As the state's oldest annual juried competition, the Museum's All Florida has introduced the work of thousands of Florida artists - emerging, under-recognized, and established younger and mid-career artists. Representing a dynamic contemporary cross-section of our state's talent, the 59th All Florida Juried Exhibition reinforces the Museum's commitment to Florida artists, provides professional exhibition opportunities for emerging artists, and reveals a provocative glimpse - through Florida artists' eyes - of the state-of-the-art today.
The juror for the 59th All Florida is Linda Norden. Ms. Norden is a curator and writer based in New York, and Director of CUNY Graduate Center's Amie and Tony James Gallery. She was Associate Curator of Contemporary Art at Harvard University's Fogg Art Museum between 1998 and 2006, and Assistant Professor at Bard College's Center for Curatorial Studies between 1992 and 1998. In 2005, Ms. Norden was commissioner of the United States Pavilion at the 51st Venice Biennale, where she organized, with Donna DeSalvo, Ed Ruscha's "Course of Empire"; in 2008, she was an advisor for the Whitney Biennial. She has written recently on Roni Horn, for an exhibition that will travel from the Tate Gallery to the Whitney Museum of American Art, and, with Scott Rothkopf, on the genesis of a film/event by Pierre Huyghe that they co-produced at Harvard, in 2004. In 2007, she curated an exhibition titled "Equal, that is, to the Real Itself," for the Marian Goodman Gallery in New York, which included the first version of John Gerrard's "Dust Storm".
