Generator: USF Contemporary Art Museums debuts - 83 Degrees Media

The University of South Florida Contemporary Arts Museum’s Generator presents its inaugural exhibition, “Superflex: This Is The Tip Of the Iceberg,” from October 6th through November 22nd.

The exhibition features two separate but interconnected installations from the renowned Copenhagen-based arts collective Superflex that blend science and art “to create experiences and communicate visually the impact of the climate crisis on our existence,” says USF CAM Curator of Public Art and Social Practice and Generator Director Sarah Howard.

The exhibition is borne from Superflex's own exploration of the deep sea and research of biodiversity and climate. The installations present two interconnected realms - dry land not yet impacted by rising water and an underwater space in the ocean’s depths.  

This is done to “highlight the impacts and consequences of climate change, a subject especially relevant to Florida and its coastal communities, and to prompt the imagination of a future in which all lifeforms coexist as ecological equals,” an exhibition description states.
