The University of South Florida Contemporary Art Museum is pleased to present New Weather from
November 6, 2009 through March 6, 2010. The exhibition is curated by Institute for Research in Art Chief Curator, David Louis Norr, and organized by the USF Contemporary Art Museum.
The monumental sculptures of Diana Al-Hadid, the turbulent paintings of Iva Gueorguieva and the
enigmatic drawings of Robyn O’Neil brought together in New Weather, explore the atmospheres and
forces which characterize our time, presenting us with an apt metaphor for the unpredictability of a
rapidly changing world.
New York-based Diana Al-Hadid’s staggering architectural sculptures, constructed from steel,
polystyrene, plaster, wood, resin and wax appear ripped from their origins, dragged through time and
space—collapsing from the weight of time and gravity. Born in Allepo, Syria, in 1981, and raised in Cleveland, Ohio, Al-Hadid inescapably folds her own identity into the reading of her work.
