(Photographs from the International Photography Competition)
Continuing from the previous post about the Ybor Arts Tour, there are three venues that were part of the tour that are also worth highlighting.
The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts (FMoPA) is showing some impressive photography in their new Ybor City space. On one side of the museum is Icons of Black and White, a selection of over 60 fine art photographs, by some of the most famous photographers in history including Ansel Adams, Dorothea Lange, Edward Weston and more. This show will be on view until 12/3/23.
In the FMoPA Community Gallery are the winning photographs from the 2023 International Photography Competition, previously on view at The Tampa International Airport. This exhibition closes 10/28/23.

The Bricks is a restaurant in Ybor City that also has an event space. For the Arts Tour the space turned into a gallery for Print Mode (2) a selection of work by Tampa Bay printmakers. That show will be up for a few more weeks.
Marcolinaâs (seen below) is a relatively new gallery currently showing the group exhibition EDEN: Beyond Paradise until 11/30/23. Check out their Instagram and Facebook to see upcoming events like Nude Model Life Drawing (every third Wednesday) and Deidre Klingâs âThe Haunted Fleshâ Photography Book Release on 10/28.

Navy Birthday
On October 13th, the United States Navy observes its birthday every year.
The United States Navy (USN) is the naval warfare service branch of the United States Armed Forces and one of the seven uniformed services of the United States. The U.S. Navy is currently the largest, most powerful navy in the world, with the highest combined battle fleet tonnage. The service has over 340,000 personnel on active duty and more than 71,000 in the Navy Reserve.
With only two ships and a crew of eighty men, the Continental Army was born on October 13, 1775. The decision of the Continental Congress set the Continental Navy on course to carry arms to the British army, not to defend against it. However, these two ships and crew represent the birth of the United States Navy.
Throughout the Revolutionary War, their importance grew. Today, the United States maintains 40 naval bases across the country, including the worldâs largest Naval Station Norfolk, in Norfolk, Virginia.
Below the sea, submarines became a part of the Navy during World War II. While experiments began in the late 1800s and during the Civil War, they did not become a large part of the Navy inventory until World War II. At that point, subs became necessary for surveillance and rescue, even though they were also armed.
With the advent of the airplane, the Navy became vital stations for the Airforce as well. As a result, the Navy modified ships into floating landing strips. Today, joint Naval and Airbases such as Pearl Harbor-Hickam provided necessary fleets of sea and air defense.
NAVY BIRTHDAY HISTORY
On October 13, 1775, the Continental Congress authorized the first American naval force. Â Thus began the long and prestigious heritage of the United States Navy. Between 1922 and 1972, the Navy celebrated its birthday on October 27th, the date of Theodore Rooseveltâs birth. The Navy League of the United States designated the date due to Rooseveltâs foresight and vision in elevating the U.S. Navy into a premier force. Regardless of when the Navy observed its birth, the celebration has always been one of pride. Â
The change to October 13 was seen as a more relevant date in line with the first official action legislating a navy. Â Since 1972, the Navy has officially recognized October 13th as the official date of its birth.

Sarah Meyohas, âInterference #19â, 2023, Holograms, mirrored black glass, aluminum
Georgia OâKeeffe, âPoppyâ, 1927, Oil on canvas
Francis Picabia âThe Church of Montigny, Effect of Sunlightâ 1908, Oil on canvas (left); Christian Sampson âProjection Paintingâ, 2023, Acrylic and films with LED light; and Claude Monet âThe Houses of Parliament, Effect of Fog, Londonâ 1904, Oil on canvas (right)
The Nature of Art exhibition at the Museum of Fine Arts St. Petersburg merges art from the museumâs collection with loaned works to explore- âartâs crucial role in our evolving quest to understand our relationship with nature and our place in the cosmosâ.
One of the benefits of an encyclopedic museum is that visitors have the opportunity to experience art throughout history, and to revisit works that resonate with them. For the section titled Artist as Curator, Sarah Meyohas and Christian Sampson chose pieces from the museumâs collection to pair with their own work.
From the museum-
At first glance, perhaps, these may seem like unusual combinations, but upon deeper contemplation, their selections reveal complementary artistic intents. For instance, Meyohas and Georgia OâKeeffe share an interest in close looking, particularly in finding new ways to examine underappreciated aspects of the natural world. Sampson, influenced by the California Light and Space Movement, is interested in current scholarship that suggests the hazy fog found in Claude Monetâs work is an early depiction of air pollution, offering an entirely new perspective on the artistâs representations of light.
Sampson also created the four-part installation, Tempus volat, hora fugit, on view until 2025 at the museum.
Below are some of the works from additional sections of the exhibition.
Postcommodity, âkinaypikowiyâsâ, 2021, Four 30.5-metre industrial debris booms
Postcommodity is an interdisciplinary art collective comprised of CristĂłbal MartĂnez (Genizaro, Manito, Xicano), and Kade L. Twist (Cherokee).
About Postcommodityâs work, kinaypikowiyâs, (seen above) from the museum-
This work is composed of debris booms, used to catch and hold environmental contaminants such as garbage, oil, and chemicals. The colors of the booms correspond to different types of threatsâ red (flammable), yellow (radioactive), blue (dangerous), and white (poisonous)-in the labeling system for hazardous materials. To indigenous peoples, these are shared medicine colors that carry knowledge, purpose and meaning throughout the Western Hemisphere. Suspended like hung meat, the booms represent a snake that has been chopped into four parts. Each part represents an area of the colonial map of the Western Hemisphere: South America, Central America, North America, and all of the surrounding islands. The title, kinaypikowiyâs, is a Plains Cree word, meaning snake meat. Divided by borders, Postcommodity asserts that all people living in the Americas are riding on the back of this snake.
James Casebere, âLandscape with Houses (Dutchess County, NY), 2009, Archival pigment print mounted to Dibond
James Casebere creates architecturally based models for the large scale photographs seen above.
Duke Riley's Reclaimed ocean plastic sculptures and âTidal Foolâ wallpaper
Duke Rileyâs work, which was previously shown at Brooklyn Museum, addresses issues of environmental pollution by using discarded plastics found in the ocean and other waterways to create new work inspired by the past. You can hear him discuss his work in this video.
From the museum-
Inspired by the maritime museum displays he saw while a child growing up in New England, Rileyâs scrimshaw series is a cutting observation of capitalist economies-historic and today-that endanger sea life. The sculptures were created for the fictional Poly S. Tyrene Memorial Maritime Museum, and are contemporary versions of sailorsâ scrimshaw, or delicately ink-etched whale teeth and bone. Riley first thought about using plastic as an ode to scrimshaw when he saw what he thought was a whale bone washed up on the beach in Rhode Island; it turned out to be the white handle of a deck brush. Riley regularly removes trash from beaches and waterways, and often uses this refuse in his work.
Riley collaborated with Brooklyn-based Flavor Paper to create these two custom wallpapers for his solo exhibition DEATH TO THE LIVING, Long Live Trash at the Brooklyn Museum. Tidal Fool exhibits Rileyâs trademark humor in the face of devastating water pollution; notice the Colt 45-guzzling mermaid. Wall Bait vibrantly references Rileyâs meticulous fishing lures, which he crafts from refuse found in the waters around New York City.
Daniel Lind-Ramos,"Centinelas de la luna nueva (Sentinels of the New Moon)", 2022-2023, Mixed media
From the museum about this work-
In Centinelas de la luna nueva, he evokes the elders of the mangroves, spiritual beings who watch over and ensure the health of this essential coastal tree. Mangroves are the basis for a complex ecosystem that shelters sea life and serves as the first line of defense in the tropical storms that batter the sub-tropics -including Florida.
Lind-Ramos's practice reflects the vibrant culture of his native LoĂza, Puerto Rico, by honoring local agriculture, fishing, cooking, and masquerade. His sculptures also evoke Hurricane Maria (2017), the COVID-19 pandemic, and ongoing environmental degradation. Lind-Ramos is committed to the survival and sustenance of Afro-TaĂno traditions and people of the Puerto Rican archipelago. However, his art engages the global community through shared emotions, parallel histories, and the commonality of human experience.
The next post will discuss two other artists in the exhibition, Brookhart Jonquil and Janaina Tschäpe.
