Dual Frequency: 2017 South Florida Cultural Consortium Award Exhibition Zenalogo

South Florida Cultural Consortium
2017 Visual and Media Artist
Award Exhibition

Dual Frequency envisions artist initiatives that steer
creative culture in support of their communities. Many
participating artists curate, organize, perform, and
teach as extensions of their individual practices. This
zinealog explores in flux studio tables, promo images,
and proposals in an overarching stream-of-conscious
narrative. I declare that a zinealog is a hybrid zine
catalog, a small publication devoted to unconventional
subject matter and a survey of supplemental studio
material. The 14 South Florida Consortium fellows
are gracious with their time and will receive awards
of either $15,000 or $7,500 in 2017.
The South Florida Cultural Consortium is the largest
government-sponsored grant program for artists
living in Broward, Martin, Miami-Dade, Monroe,
and Palm Beach counties. It provides significant
support to individuals who contribute to the cultural
fabric of a vibrantly expanding arts community with
no strings attached.
- Laura Marsh, Curator of Exhibitions,
Art and Culture Center/Hollywood
“It is exciting how this year’s SFCC artists highlight
a diverse range of collaborative practices, from IRL,
to Obsolete Media Miami, to Tile Blush, to Exile
Books, and Wild Beast Collective. When artists form
structures – whether bookshops, artist-run galleries,
archives or production agencies – it demonstrates
an effort to make a larger impact with their work
and create a sense of community. It’s generative.
While this is not a phenomenon isolated to South
Florida, this development nevertheless signals a
coalescing effort to create autonomy and agency
among our region’s artists.”
- Amanda Sanfilippo, Curator + Artist Manager,
Art in Public Places, Miami-Dade County Department
of Cultural Affairs

style of video games where the player decides

Isabel Gouveia is a Lake Worth-based mixed-media artist. An experimental printmaker,
Gouveia often begins with imagery inspired by the natural landscape of South Florida,
which she then manipulates through the experimental digital printing process. The final
prints obliterate most of the original representational content, becoming oscillating
abstractions that unfold in 3-dimensional space. Born in Ituiutaba, Minas Gerais,
Brazil, Gouveia obtained a BS in Industrial Design from Sao Paulo, Brazil, and an

We are delighted and honored to present Dual Frequency,
The South Florida Cultural Consortium 2017 Visual and
Media Artist Award Exhibition. Curated by Art and
Culture Center/Hollywood’s Laura Marsh, the exhibition
features 14 artists who applied from five counties --
Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Martin and Monroe
counties.
Each year, more than 300 artists who live and work
throughout the five county region submit their applications
for consideration. Submissions are grouped by county.
A regional panel of visual and media art experts from
South Florida convene to provide an initial review of
the submissions. These recommendations are forwarded
to a national panel who is given the responsibility of
recommending the final recipients. Merit is determined
based on individual accomplishments as evidenced by
the work submitted for review, with the highest premium
placed on coherent bodies of work. The national panel’s
recommendations are reviewed and ratified by the South
Florida Cultural Consortium.
We congratulate this year’s winners and thank all of the
South Florida Cultural Consortium members who support
our region’s visual and media artists.
The Art and Culture Center/Hollywood provides a venue
for the arts through its gallery exhibitions, artist lectures
and workshops in its renovated 1924-circa Mediterranean
revival home as well as offering education programs and
performances. The Center, which is celebrating its 42-year
anniversary, is the third oldest arts nonprofit in Broward
County and is one of just eight organizations, out of more
than 800 art and cultural entities in Broward County,
to be designated a Major Cultural Institution by the

Please enjoy this exhibition and zinealog, which celebrates
the works of these award-winning artists.
