At the Webber Gallery: "The Gap Between Art and Life Biennial"
2025-09-02 10:00 - 2025-10-16 16:00 | Webber Gallery
The College of Central Florida Webber Gallery presents “The Gap Between Art and Life” on view Sept. 1-Oct. 16, with the opening reception Thursday, Sept. 11, from 4-6 p.m. This innovative, immersive biennial is a competitive exhibition of installation art.
After reviewing 97 entries from artists across the southeastern United States, the jury panel selected eight standout artworks by seven artists. These pieces each offer something truly unexpected, breaking from tradition and challenging the typical gallery experience. The jury panel was made up of Leslie Hammond, president of Artistic Eye Fine Art Services, and Victoria Billig, assistant director of the Appleton Museum of Art.
“Installation art has the power to reshape how we experience both space and meaning,” Billig said. “In that spirit, ‘The Gap Between Art and Life’ presents a wide spectrum of materials, methods and conceptual frameworks, with each artist offering a distinct invitation to engage on many different levels. As jurors, we looked for work that transforms the gallery environment and offers viewers something unexpected: the chance to enter a constructed world that presents new perspectives and questions assumptions.”
Pictured below are a few of the exhibits from “The Gap Between Art and Life Biennial.”
Ann Kozeliski, “Portraits in Passing”
Aurora Pavlish-Carpenter, “Fertile Ground”
Mary Helen Horne, “Still Higher”
Webber Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday-Thursday and admission is free. The Webber Gallery is located at the CF Ocala Campus, 3001 S.W. College Road. An opening reception, yet to be scheduled, will be announced at CF.edu/Webber. For more information, call 352-854-2322, ext. 1664.
