"southXeast: contemporary southeastern
artists" featured art made in a variety of media including
ceramics, painting, sculpture, video and environmental
installation, and is a highly selective exhibition, presenting a
small number of artists in order to show several examples of often
large-scale works. The artists selected are predominantly either
younger emerging artists or more mature artists whose work has not
received attention outside their home state or region. The artists
were selected by the University Galleries' director, W. Rod Faulds,
who consulted with many of the region's museum curators, gallery
directors and artists to review and select works from more than 100
artists. In association with the exhibition, there was a catalog
with reproductions of work by each artist and an essay by Faulds.
The exhibition was made possible through support from a
variety of sources including: the Florida Department of State,
Division of Cultural Affairs, Florida Arts Council and the National
Endowment for the Arts; The Ritter Family Foundation; Bank of
America; The Palm Beach County Cultural Council; FAU Student
Government through student activity fees; an anonymous donor and
individual contributors to the University Galleries. The exhibition
is sponsored by David Jones Fine Arts Services of Boca Raton and
European manufacturer Kartell Furniture in support of Celeste
Roberge's "The Chairs." Special thanks also to the Colony Hotel,
Delray Beach and SCP Commercial Printing, Boca Raton.
