On Exhibit

Depth of Field: History of Photography

May 26 - October 22, 2023

Depth of Field showcases photography from the Pensacola Museum of Art's permanent collection alongside objects from the UWF Historic Trust Archives. Artworks on display explore the history, science, and alchemical nature of the medium. Featured in this exhibition are more than twenty individual artists that employ various approaches and technologies to create thought-provoking photographs. Additional highlights include vintage cameras, glass negatives, tintypes, daguerreotypes, and an interactive camera lucida. On view are works by pioneers in the field such as Alfred Stieglitz, Elliot Erwitt, Eduard J. Steichen, Walker Evans, and Vivian Maier as well as notable contemporary artists including Valerie George, Richard McCabe, Sheila Pinkel and Gesche Würfel.

Hotsy-Totsy-Vroom-O-Rama: Exhibition by House Pencil Green

June 9 - September 17, 2023

House Pencil Green is the interdisciplinary studio of Joseph Herring and Amy Ruddick. Their exhibition at the PMA, Hotsy-Totsy-Vrooom-O-Rama, is part of a body of work in which the pair explore connections between the ‘art of the carny’ and the ‘carnivalesque tendencies of the artist.’  

Through an examination of various approaches to both vernacular and fine art production, performance, and display; and through a series of sculptures, graphics, videos, performances, and workshops; the installation at the PMA will change, expand, and contort for the duration of the exhibition, reaching final form only upon conclusion.  

Visitors are encouraged to return during the course of the exhibition to note its progress, to view the installation as a time based medium, and to reach conclusions about its meaning after experiencing, in a similar fashion to time based media, the beginning, middle, and end.
