Art Around
the State
At The Baker Museum: Recent
Acquisitions: 2019 – Present. The
Baker Museum’s permanent collection
has grown steadily over the past
two decades in both breadth and
quality within the museum’s clearly
defined scope, which encompasses
American, Latin American and European
art from the 1880s to the present
day. This exhibition presents over 50
works that have been added to the
permanent collection since 2019.

t
At The Dali: Running through
October 30, 2022, is ‘the visit,’ by
yamandú canosa. The Visit presents
the work of Uruguayan-Spanish artist
Yamandú Canosa. Through the exhibition,
Canosa creates a contemplative
dialogue between Surrealism and
contemporary art.
The meditative installation explores
Salvador Dalí’s environment in Port
Lligat, Spain, where Dalí lived and
worked throughout his lifetime. The
works relate the viewer to the horizon,
while alluding to the Bay of Port
Lligat: the beach, the Tramontana
wind, Dalí’s house and the island of
Sa Farnera. Canosa’s installation also
incorporates the Dibujos ciegos (Blind
Drawings), a series of performative
works on paper created through a
drawing process that elaborates on
surrealist practices.
The exhibit includes new and previous
notable works by the artist,
including paintings, drawings and
photographs, plus a small selection
of related Salvador Dalí works from
the Museum’s renowned collection.
A portion of the Museum’s Hough
Gallery will be transformed into a dramatic
installation designed by the artist
specifically for the Museum. Info:

Tampa Museum of Art has
Dawoud Bey & Carrie Mae Weems:
In Dialogue through October 23,
2022. Dawoud Bey & Carrie Mae
Weems: In Dialogue brings together
a focused selection of work from
t
a period of over
forty years by two
of today’s most
important and
influential photo-based
artists.
Dawoud Bey
and Carrie Mae
Weems, both born
in 1953, came
of age during a
period of dramatic
change in the
American social
landscape. Since
meeting at the
Studio Museum
in Harlem in 1977,
the two artists
have been intellectual
colleagues
and companions.
Over the following
five decades,
Bey and Weems
have explored
and addressed
similar themes:
race, class, representation,
and
systems of power,
creating work that
is grounded in
specific African
American events
and realities while simultaneously
speaking to universal human conditions.
This exhibition, for the first time,
brings their work together to shed
light on their unique trajectories and
modes of presentation, and their
shared consciousness and principles.
The Museum of Fine Arts has
Multiple: Prince Twins Seven-Seven
through January 15, 2023. This
exhibition highlights the visionary
work of Prince Twins Seven-Seven,
who was the only surviving child out
of seven pairs of twins born to his
mother.
Because of this, and the associated
traditional religious beliefs of the
Yorùbá people of Nigeria, he held that
he possessed unique spiritual insight
and power. His perceptions in turn
had a profound impact on his artistic
expression as a printmaker, painter,
and sculptor. Blending abstracted
images of the physical world and evocations
of the spirit world, Prince Twins
Seven-Seven created a unique, powerful,
and international style that bridges
traditional and contemporary arts.
Multiple: Prince Twins Seven-Seven
features 14 total pieces, including 10
works on paper by Prince Twins Seven-Seven
and four other Yorùbá works
of art from the MFA’s collection. The
MFA is at 255 Beach Dr NE, St. Petersburg.

Sea Turtle Nesting
Season is Here
Sea turtle nesting season takes
place through Oct. 31 on Southwest
Florida beaches. Mote Marine coordinates
with county, state and federal
efforts to conserve sea turtles — particularly
loggerheads, since Sarasota
County hosts the highest density of
loggerhead nests in the Gulf of Mexico.
Data show that nesting by loggerhead
turtles declined and then rebounded in
recent years, while green turtle nesting
— although very low in numbers — has
increased.
On nesting beaches, light from
waterfront properties can disorient
nesting female turtles and their
young, which emerge at night and
use dim natural light to find the sea.
Also, beach furniture, trash and other
obstacles can impede sea turtles and
their young. While Mote documents
turtle nests, the best thing you can do
to help is to refrain from using artificial
light while on the beach.
t
Here are some tips to keep beaches
turtle-friendly:
• DO stay away from sea turtle nests
marked with yellow stakes and tape,
and seabird nesting zones that are
bounded by ropes.
• DO remain quiet and observe from
a distance if you encounter a nesting
sea turtle or hatchlings.
• DO shield or turn off outdoor lights
that are visible on the beach from
May through October.
• DO close drapes after dark and
stack beach furniture at the dune line
or, ideally, remove it from the beach
• DO fill in holes that may entrap
hatchlings on
their way to the
water.
• DON’T approach
nesting
turtles or hatchlings,
make noise,
or shine lights at
turtles.
• DON’T use
flashlights, head
lamps or fishing
lamps on the
beach.
• DON’T encourage
a turtle
to move while
nesting or pick up
hatchlings that
have emerged and
are heading for
the water.
• DON’T use
fireworks on the
beach.
• DON’T walk
dogs on any
Sarasota County
beach other than
Brohard Paw Park
in Venice. There,
dogs must be
leashed or under
voice control, according
to county
ordinances.
Report stranded sea turtles and
marine mammals. Mote Marine
Laboratory’s Stranding Investigations
Program responds 24 hours a
day seven days a week to reports of
sick, injured and dead marine mammals
and sea turtles for animals
in Sarasota and Manatee County
waters. Live animals are brought
back to Mote’s Dolphin and Whale
Hospital or Sea Turtle Rehabilitation
Hospital for treatment and the deceased
animals undergo a detailed
post-mortem examination so that
we may learn more about the natural
history of these animals and evaluate
long-term trends in mortality.
Within Sarasota or Manatee County
waters, if you see a stranded or
dead dolphin, whale or sea turtle,
call Mote’s Stranding Investigations
Program, a 24-hour response service,
at 888-345-2335.
If you see a stranded or dead manatee
anywhere in state waters or a
stranded or dead dolphin, whale or
sea turtle outside of Sarasota or Manatee
counties, call the FWC Wildlife
Alert hotline at 1-(888) 404-3922.
