The University of West Florida Pensacola Museum of Art, 350 Pensacola and UWF Department of Art announces the exhibition, “Crossing Boundaries: Art and the Future of Energy National Juried Exhibition” as part of the Clean Energy Festival and Pensacola Foo Foo Festival. The exhibition will be on view through Jan. 14, 2018 in the Charles W. Lamar, Sr. Assembly Room located on the second floor of the museum. Featured artists include George Ferrandi, Elisa Ferrari, Calvin Rocchio, Sarah Nance and Plantbot Genetics. The curators include Carrie Fonder, Amy Bowman-McElhone and Felicia E. Gail.

The exhibition features invited and juried artists whose trans-disciplinary works attend to and contemplate issues such as the future of clean energy, eco-aesthetics, eco-justice, sustainability, social practice and the environment, the intersections of science, technology, engineering, art and math that are contextualized through aesthetic practices. The exhibition serves as a laboratory for the exchange of innovative ideas as well as a space for experimental investigations. The intersection of art and science can reveal our path to resiliency as we face a changing climate and the environmental, economic and social challenges that impact all cultures, countries and nationalities globally.
