EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION

The Hillsborough Community College Art Galleries is proud to present Live-Work: matthew anthony batty, Dakota Parkinson & Andrés Ramirez. This exhibition will be on display March 18 – June 27, 2024 at Gallery221@HCC Dale Mabry Campus. A closing reception will take place on Wednesday, June 26th from 5 – 8 p.m., with a panel discussion scheduled to begin at 6 p.m.

The relationships between people and places are constantly renegotiated as we act on the world and it, in turn, acts on us. Live-Work is an exploration of built environments in transition and how we move through them. It takes its name from the language of mixed-use development, asking us to consider the connection between labor, recreation, daily life and cultural perceptions of place. Three artists—matthew anthony batty, Dakota Parkinson and Andrés Ramirez—speak to the transformative processes involved in placemaking through media such as installation, ceramic sculpture and photography.

matthew anthony batty is a transdisciplinary artist and educator who earned their MFA in Studio Art from Indiana University. Dakota Parkinson is a ceramic artist and educator who is currently an artist in residence at the Morean Center for Clay. Andrés Ramirez is a photographer and educator who earned his MFA in Photography from the University of South Florida.

EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION

Over the past four decades, the Hillsborough Community College’s Permanent Art Collection has fostered strong connections between the college and local arts community. Now including over 200 objects, the collection maintains a strong focus on artists who have lived or worked in the Tampa Bay region. This exhibition spotlights significant artworks curated by the college’s collection manager, Alyssa Miller. Accompanying oral history interviews add richness to the work on view, as selected artists were asked to discuss their work as well as their own connection to the region. In Their Own Words engages the local community in honoring the artistic and cultural legacy of Tampa Bay by inviting a greater diversity of voices to lead in the interpretation and discussion of the artworks in the collection.

Artists include: Suzanne Camp Crosby, Aneka Ingold, Aimee Jones, Akiko Kotani, Tom Kramer, Tracy Midulla, Wanda Raimundi-Ortiz, Renatto Rampolla, Frank Rampolla, Babs Reingold, Omar Richardson, Emiliano Settecasi, Kirk Ke Wang, and Ruby C. Williams.
