Prospectus

Representing a dynamic contemporary cross-section of our state's talent, the 62nd 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 62nd Annual All Florida is Mark Scala, the Chief Curator at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts, in Nashville, Tennessee, where he has been employed since 2000. Scala’s most recent exhibition is Fairy Tales, Monsters, and the Genetic Imagination (2012), an international survey that explores the symbolism of the hybrid body in contemporary works inspired by sources ranging from folklore and science fiction to recent advances in genetic engineering, prosthetics, and other aspects of bodily adaptation. This was presented at the Frist Center, then traveled to the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the Glenbow Museum in Calgary. Previous exhibitions have included Paint Made Flesh (2009) an international survey of figure painting in the U.S., Germany, and Britain since World War II, which traveled to the Phillips Collection in Washington, D.C. and the Memorial Art Gallery in Rochester; Whispering Wind: Recent Chinese Photography; Art from the UBS PaineWebber Art Collection; and many solo exhibitions of contemporary art.

Before coming to the Frist Center, Scala was curator at the Art Museum of Western Virginia, where he worked for ten years. He received his MA in art history in 1988 and MFA in painting in 1979, both from Virginia Commonwealth University.
