[New Exhibition]  Notes from an Invisible Exhibition at Selby's Historic Spanish Point
Andrew Fabian, andrew.fabian@srqme.com

Last month, Selby Botanical Gardens unveiled an ambitious augmented reality (AR) exhibition in conjunction with 11 other botanical gardens. Called “Seeing the Invisible,” the exhibition features digital sculptures from 13 artists, each of them “placed” around the lush bayside grounds of the Historic Spanish Point campus and marked with numbered stakes in the ground. On their own, the sheer scope, vision and artist list of the exhibition warrant a visit, but as with all emerging technologies that push the boundaries of what’s possible, the exhibition is not without its stipulations that must be met to maximize enjoyment.

The first is the app designed specifically to accompany the exhibition. At a whopping 2 gigabytes in size, the app can take a very long time to download and install onto an iPhone or Android smartphone. Since the app also relies on so many components of a smartphone’s hardware—GPS, wi-fi and cellular antennas, camera—it drains a battery more quickly than most apps. So, visitors are strongly encouraged to download and install the app before visiting the exhibition–preferably at home over a wi-fi network–and should make sure they have a full charge too. 

Once the app is downloaded and installed, its use during the exhibition is fairly straightforward. “With this exhibition, we tried to approach it on two levels,” says Dr. David Berry, vice president for visitor engagement and chief museum curator. “One level is how the works unfold as visitors interact with them, the other is how to use them as an interesting way to get around the site.” To start, a map of the grounds pops up on your screen with a walking circuit highlighted in green. As a visitor moves, the little blue dot that shows their location moves too. The sculptures themselves are shown on the map in orange. Following the green trail takes visitors on a loop around the entire campus and presents the visitor with each sculpture’s site along the way. 

To activate the sculptures, a visitor must come within 15 feet of the mark on the app’s map. Most of the stakes in the ground will get a visitor close enough, but sometimes the app’s markings must be deferred to. When considering the number of satellites and high-technology required to even attempt the exhibition, this minor inconvenience is easy to forgive.

But more than anything, the novelty of the experience and the quality of some of the works go a long way in overcoming any technical obstacles of the format. “Once you’re using the app, it’s unbelievably compelling,” says Dr. Berry. Many of the pieces move and morph, while others have an audio component to them as well. Some standout pieces include “Gilded Cage” from Ai Wei Wei in the sunken gardens, “Water Serpent” from Jakob Kudsk Steensen sited on a spot overlooking the bay, and “Machine Hallucinations: Nature Dreams” by Refik Anadol (pictured above).

The latter is the work of a Turkish-born artist living in Los Angeles and makes use of a sophisticated algorithm to turn nearly 70 million images of nature into a shifting topographical surface. Even when surrounded by living, breathing nature at Historic Spanish Point, the piece still manages to force the uncomfortable question of how deeply technology and math can recreate the feeling of being in nature—or if they should.

“Seeing the Invisible” runs through August of next year at the Historic Spanish Point Campus. 

[SRQ Book Club]  Non-Fiction Book Review of Everything I Have is Yours: A Marriage by Eleanor Henderson
Roxanne Baker, Bookseller at BookStore1

Anyone who enjoys medical mystery stories and the voyeuristic pleasure of looking at a couple’s marital intestinal fortitude will be enraptured as I was with Eleanor Henderson’s Everything I Have is Yours: A Marriage. For movie buffs; think Alien meets Revolutionary Road.  

While I understand voracious mystery lovers, I dare an avid thriller fanatic to read this non-fiction and not also call it a page-turner. 

For anyone dealing with one or both of substance abuse or childhood trauma, or anyone who’s had fond homes in Upstate New York (Ithaca to be specific), Florida’s West Coast or the Big Apple, this book will remind you of all the reasons you loved (and maybe occasionally hated) living there.

At times vindicated by ending relationships that were too stressful to endure and then almost equally ashamed that I didn’t stick it out, Henderson addresses wrestling with these same philosophies and ultimately praying that the cyclical neglect, abandonment and dysfunction stops at her generation rather being handed down to her children.  

A beautiful ode to relationships of all types, 'Everything I Have is Yours' is now available in-store at BookStoreOne Sarasota 12 S. Palm Ave. Sarasota, FL 34236 or online at sarasotabooks.com.

[JFCS of the Suncoast]  Celebrating the Past & Defining the Future

Jewish Family & Children’s Service of the Suncoast, Inc. (JFCS) is 35 years in the making. Present-day JFCS of the Suncoast was founded in July of 1986 to address a growing need to offer social services to Sarasota’s increasing Jewish population, particularly the elderly. However, with each passing decade, the organization’s visionary leaders continuously recognized the overwhelming need to serve the Sarasota community at-large, while still remaining faithful to its founding Jewish traditions and principles. 

With the support of over 800 volunteers JFCS empowers over 5,000 clients annually, including seniors, veterans, at-risk youth and individuals and families, toward self-sufficiency and stability through free and low-cost initiatives such as mental health counseling, youth programs, family services, seniors and caregivers’ support groups, veterans’ housing assistance, life skills and job placement, homeless prevention services, food and financial support and case management. Services are provided regardless of religious affiliation.

Today, JFCS is recognized as one of the leading mental health counseling and human services agencies on the Florida Suncoast. As a preeminent community partner in Sarasota, Manatee, DeSoto, Lee and Charlotte Counties, JFCS has been recognized consistently for notable acts of kindness and effectiveness.

In honor of many generous individuals and several monumental milestones, JFCS is hosting a 35th Anniversary celebration at Michael’s On East, on Sunday, December 5 at 5:30 p.m. A commemorative tribute to the organization’s significant contributions to the community will occur during the celebration. Tickets are available for purchase on the JFCS website (jfcs-cares.org). JFCS would like to thank the community for allowing it to positively impact the lives of many area residents. 

[Art Series]  Arts Advocates Receives Gift of Florida Highwaymen Paintings

Arts Advocates announces the receipt of a gift of five Florida Highwaymen paintings, generously donated by members Cecilia and Richard Conder. These pieces are now on exhibit in the Arts Advocates Gallery, located in the Crossings at Siesta Mall, 3501 S. Tamiami Trail, in Sarasota. The Highwaymen were a group of 26 African American landscape artists, mostly self-taught from the Fort Pierce, Florida area, active from the mid-1950s into the 1980s. They painted on inexpensive Upson board or Masonite and made frames from crown molding. Because no galleries would accept their work, they sold their art door-to-door or from the trunks of their cars, often still wet, along Florida’s eastern coastal roads. Their renown grew internationally during the early 2000s, and the members have been recognized for their contributions to mid-twentieth century Florida culture and history. Their success and longevity are remarkable considering they began their careers in racially unsettled times, in a place where the civil rights movement was in its infancy. 

The Highwaymen paintings are on exhibit through December 2021; gallery hours are every Saturday from 2:00 to 5:00 pm. They are also included in the docent-guided gallery tours on November 3 and December 1 at 11:00 am. along with the Sarasota Colony Artists exhibit. Reservations for tours are required. To register for gallery tours, and learn more about or become a member of Arts Advocates, visit ArtsAdvocates.org.

[Public Exhibit]  Local Students Create Tribute to One of Sarasota’s Great Artists

Seven middle school students at the Sarasota School of Arts & Sciences (SSA+S) have come together alongside teacher David A. Carr and the Rosemary Art & Design District (RADD) to create an exhibit celebrating John Chamberlain, one of Sarasota’s great artists, who’s 1980s studio was located on the edge of the Rosemary District. Led by teacher, David A. Carr, SSA+S students were asked to study Chamberlain's sculptures and life, then tasked with deconstructing and reimagining his volumetric, expressive sculptures in two dimensions - while reflecting the energy, vivacity and complexity of Chamberlain’s original work. RADD and SSA+S worked together to turn the student artwork into a public exhibit that explores the influence of great artists on future creatives. Located on the future site of Rosemary Park (corner of Central Avenue and Boulevard of the Arts), the outcome is a temporary, outdoor art exhibit for the community to enjoy.
