The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts will exhibit Modus Operandi: Contemporary Photography from the collection of BNY Mellon from January 15–April 15, 2019. Modus Operandi brings together an innovative group of photographers and marks the first time this photography collection will be on view to the public. The exhibiting group of artists employ non-traditional methods in making their work – sometimes technical, sometimes conceptual – that speaks to the performative nature of contemporary photography. The photographs speak about the photographers as performers themselves. Artists in the exhibit represent 8 countries and include: Walead Beshty, Miriam Bohm, Yasumasa Morimura, Zanele Muholi, Alex Prager, Erin Shirreff and Michalene Thomas, among others.

“We are honored to host one of the largest photography selections from BNY Mellon ever shown.” said FMoPA Executive Director Zora Carrier, Ph.D. “It’s our goal to collaborate with top artists and collectors to produce exhibitions of the highest quality.” Modus Operandi: Contemporary Photography from the collection of BNY Mellon will be on view during regular museum operating hours and is included in the general admission fee.

The Florida Museum of Photographic Arts will exhibit Lost and Found in America. Alienation, loneliness, and outsider standing transform through the creative act into a meditation on power and resistance. Lost and Found in America is a group exhibition curated by Liz Dimmitt that assembles three compelling artists into a phantasmagoria on the nature of self in the context of American dreaming. Sadie Barnette composes photographs and installations that draw upon elements both grim and quotidian and recasts them in a celebratory glaze to ignite imagination. This work invites the viewer to contemplate everyday struggle as a kind of otherworldly magic. Genevieve Gaignard too works within the language of the audacious, using her body as a signifier in her self portrait photography of provocative artifice. Simultaneously embracing low brown aesthetics and penetrative notions of gender performance and racial identity, Gaignard embodies power and neurotic intensity as a means to conquer invisibility. Kalup Linzy’s theatrical works of performative gender and sexuality employ

a variety of pop cultural forms such as soap operas and drag revues. These melodramatic forms allow the artist to channel the angst and isolation of “otherness” as he creates the self vibrantly anew.

In a world that is increasing focused on the projection of self through imagery, Barnette, Gaignard, and Linzy use class signifiers, pop culture and their own identities to document the contemporary American experience.

Hundred Days is an uncensored, exhilarating and heartrending true story about embracing uncertainty, taking a leap and loving as if you only had 100 days to live. With magnetic chemistry and anthemic folk-punk music, creators and stars Abigail and Shaun Bengson explore a fundamental question: how do we make the most of the time that we have?

Hundred Days has a book by the Bengsons and Sarah Gancher and music and lyrics by the Bengsons. The show is directed by Anne Kauffman with movement direction by Sonya Tayeh. A two-time Critics’ Pick, The New York Times calls Hundred Days “A luminous musical memoir.”

Presented in the Straz Center’s intimate Jaeb Theater, Hundred Days is the final show on 2018-2019 Bank of America Broadway at The Straz season and is sponsored in part by the Tampa Bay Times.

Rolling World Premier!

National New Play Network

This play is charming and funny with a sharp edge of heartbreaking truth. It’s clever, moving and ingenious. It takes on our assumptions about people’s character and the painful sacrifices we make for love and family. At its heart though it is an uplifting story about young star-crossed lovers wrapped in a comedy wrapped in a satire with a healthy streak of political commentary.

Just in time for its 20^th annual Hollywood Awards Night OSCAR^® watch party on Sunday, Feb 24, Tampa Theatre will once again partner with ShortsHD™ to present the popular OSCAR^®-Nominated Animated Short Films program:

• Black Sheep: Everything changed for Cornelius Walker on 27 November 2000 when Damilola Taylor was killed. Damilola was 11, the same age as Cornelius. He lived five minutes away. He had the same skin colour. Cornelius’s mother, scared for her son’s safety, moved their family out of London. Cornelius suddenly found himself living on a white estate run by racists. But rather than fight them, Cornelius decided to become more like the people who hated him. They became his family and kept him safe. And in return, Cornelius became submerged in a culture of violence and hatred. But as the violence and racism against other black people continued, Cornelius struggled to marry his real identity with the one he had acquired. Filmed with non-actors in locations where the real events took place 15 years ago, Black Sheep blurs the boundaries between documentary and fiction to pose difficult and highly topical questions about race and identity. Who decides what makes us who we are? And what compromises are we prepared to make in order to fit in? UK / 27 minutes
  
  
• End Game: Where will loved ones spend their last days? Who will be in the room? What feelings and secrets need to be shared with family before it is too late? Acclaimed Academy Award-winning filmmakers Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman (The Times Of Harvey Milk, The Celluloid Closet, Paragraph 175) probe these questions and more in the context of two San Francisco Bay Area medical facilities on the forefront of creating new paradigms for end of life decisions with grace. USA / 40 minutes

** INTERMISSION **

• Lifeboat: Volunteers from a German non-profit risk the waves of the Mediterranean to pluck refugees from sinking rafts pushing off from Libya in the middle of the night. Lifeboat puts a human face on one of the world’s greatest contemporary, global crises and provides a spark of hope surrounding how civil society can intervene in the refugee crisis in a meaningful way. USA / 40 minutes
  
  
• A Night at the Garden: In 1939, 20,000 Americans rallied in New York’s Madison Square Garden to celebrate the rise of Nazism – an event largely forgotten from American history. A Night At The Garden, made entirely from archival footage filmed that night, transports audiences to this chilling gathering and shines a light on the power of demagoguery and anti-Semitism in the United States. USA / 7 minutes
  
  
• PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE.: In a rural village outside Delhi, India, women lead a quiet revolution. They fight against the deeply rooted stigma of menstruation. PERIOD. END OF SENTENCE. tells their story. For generations, these women didn’t have access to pads, which lead to health problems and girls missing school or dropping out entirely. But when a sanitary pad machine is installed in the village, the women learn to manufacture and market their own pads, empowering the women of their community. They name their brand “FLY,” because they want women “to soar.” Their flight is, in part, enabled by the work of high school girls half a world away, in California, who raised the initial money for the machine and began a non-profit called “The Pad Project.” India / 26 minutes

FREE workshop and film screening
presented by Americans Against Abusive Probate Guardianship

Please join Dr. Sam Sugar – founder of AAAPG – for “Preventing Abuse and Protecting Rights.” This interactive community workshop for families and vicitms of guardianship abuse will feature national experts on a variety of topics, including:

• Eileen Leslie, Forensic Accountant- “How to Present a Meaningful Complaint”
• Tom Coleman, Spectrum Institute – “Real Guardianship Reform Requires Accountability”
• Janet Phelan – “Researching Judges” (pre-recorded)
• Michelle Morley, Probate Judge – “Eldercaring Coordination”
• Rick Black – “Dealing with Government Agencies”
• Greg Marsella, MD – “Psychotropic Weapons”
• Terry Williams – “Due Process in the Probate Mafia”
• Terri Kennedy – “Dealing with Unbearable Stress”

Following the workshop, AAAPG will present the Florida premiere of a disturbing new documentary, The Guardians. 

It is a revealing investigative documentary set in Las Vegas, Nevada that exposes allegations of corruption within the Nevada Guardianship and Family Court systems involving the legal kidnapping of elderly people. The film shines a light on a lucrative business that drains seniors’ life-savings and robs them of their freedoms.

Victims and their families are caught in a scheme that has allowed corrupt court-appointed guardians to take total control over their healthcare and financial decisions. Armed with court orders obtained under dubious circumstances, guardians are able to forcibly remove elderly wards from their homes, isolate them from their families and systematically empty their bank accounts.

In an unfolding saga that reaches to the top level of government, a growing number of Las Vegas victims come together to seek justice, restitution and freedom.  Through their fight, the film exposes the scope of the systemic abuse of some of the most vulnerable members of our society.

As our aging population is about to record the largest transfer of wealth in history, we must protect them and their families from those that have been using a broken system to take advantage.

For 40 years nothing and no one has stood in their way. Until now.

The seminar will begin at 2:00pm and run approximately 3 1/2 hours. The film screening will begin at 7:00pm and conclude at 9:00pm. Patrons may attend either or both events, and the Theatre lobby and auditorium will remain open during the break between the two.

The events are FREE and open to the public, but RESERVATIONS ARE REQUIRED. Please click the show time at right to make your free reservation via eventbrite.

Thomas Edison vs. Nikola Tesla. Otherwise known as the War of the Currents, the battle between the two inventors to claim supremacy in electric power inspired this high-voltage mixed-media performance spectacular commissioned for the 2012 Jerusalem Festival of Lights. The show combines a variety of elements: specially-made musical instruments, massive video art projections including video mapping on the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem and eleven skilled performers in constant movement, playing on different instruments and musically juggling between different sounds.

Taylor Reed is a recording artist who tours regionally and nationally. She currently resides in Tampa Bay, Florida with her husband (Joe) and furry baby (MooCow). Her formative influences range from Russian opera pop, to classic and modern day RnB, to Johan Sebastian Bach, cutting her teeth as a violinist in a gypsy jazz improv troupe showcasing in downtown Ybor.

Taylor channels her natural creativity and spontaneity through a looping station, building an elegantly layered, engrossingly soulful sound. Weaving violin melodies through groove-infused renditions of pop and R&B hits, her music elevates any space.

The event is Fest… WineFest… when Tampa Theatre presents Vino Royale, a Bond-themed fundraising weekend on Feb. 22-23

And though the theme may be silly, WineFest’s purpose is most serious: now in its 17th year, this weekend serves as the landmark theatre’s biggest annual fundraiser. Event chair Fred Zielinski notes that while James Bond may not have been much of a wine drinker, Tampa Theatre itself has a way of both shaking and stirring the hearts and minds of the community with its artistic and educational programming, as well as the 92-year-old movie palace’s ongoing preservation and restoration.

Guests are encouraged to dress as their favorite character or come in a Bond–inspired costumes.

Come out to Tampa Bay and test your endurance at the Gasparilla Distance Classic.

And since 1978, the Gasparilla Distance Classic Association has donated $3.9 million to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa, Girls Inc. of Pinellas, The Friends of Tampa Parks & Recreation and youth running related programs.
