SUMMARY:Carlie Trosclair
DESCRIPTION:Carlie Trosclair is a sculptor and installation artist who records and reimagines the genealogy of home and its relationship to the natural world. As the daughter of an electrician\, Trosclair spent her formative years in historic residential properties at varying stages of construction and renovation. Reflectively her work creates new topographies and narratives that highlight structural and decorative shifts evolving over a building’s lifespan. \nTrosclair’s site specific installations are powerful artworks that draw the viewer into the vulnerability and memory of a space. In her recent project with Houston’s Project Row Houses\, Trosclair addressed ideas of displacement and destruction from her experience of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans. \nWhile visiting Central Florida for this solo exhibition\, Trosclair will be in residence for three weeks to make a work of art on-site at the historic Dutton House in DeLand. The owners of the home have allowed her access to cast original components of the historic house before it is restored. Trosclair will turn these castings into a work for public display. \nIn 2023\, Trosclair was named the Ellis-Beauregard Fellow for the Visual Arts and the South Arts Louisiana State Fellow for Visual Arts. Trosclair earned an M.F.A from the Sam Fox School of Design; Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis\, B.F.A from Loyola University New Orleans\, and is an alumni of the Community Arts Training Institute in St. Louis. Trosclair has participated in residencies including the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts (NE)\, Loghaven Artist Residency (TN)\, Santa Fe Art Institute (NM)\, Joan Mitchell Center (LA)\, McColl Center (NC)\, and Vermont Studio Center. Trosclair’s work has been featured in Art in America\, The New York Times\, ArtFile Magazine\, and Temporary Art Review\, among others. She is the recipient of the Riverfront Times’ Mastermind Award\, Regional Arts Commission Artist Fellowship and the Great Rivers Biennial Award. \nIn this solo exhibition\, Trosclair expands on notions of home beyond the built environment\, exploring a symbiosis with the broader living landscape. Latex membranes of vines and tree trunks record traces of regenerative cycles. Remnants of the original environment are absorbed into each latex body\, crystallizing the textures and detritus of place. From the palimpsest of paint\, disintegration of wood\, or echo of tree rings\, these surfaces are connected in the ways they mark time. and all the lives we ever lived explores themes of memory\, loss\, and renewal through a collective witnessing of architectural and environmental histories. \n“And all the lives we ever lived\nand all the lives to be\nare full of trees and changing leaves.” \n― Virginia Woolf \n  \nEXHIBITION DETAILS \nCarlie Trosclair: all the lives we ever lived \nJanuary 18 – April 6\, 2025 \nMuseum of Art – DeLand\, Downtown Gallery \n100 N.

SUMMARY:Thomas D. Mangelsen
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Art – DeLand is proud to present Thomas D. Mangelsen – A Life in the Wild. Renowned American nature photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen has traveled throughout the natural world for nearly 50 years observing and photographing the Earth’s last great wild places. From polar bears in the Arctic to vast herds of game on the plains of Africa\, from the deep jungles of South America to the tigers of India\, to images revealing the diversity of wildlife in the American West\, Mangelsen has captured rare moments and vast panoramas from all seven continents. \n\nThomas D. Mangelsen\, Dreamcatcher\, 2000\nMangelsen is a critically-acclaimed photographer whose honors include being named Conservation Photographer of the Year by Nature’s Best Photography\, the BBC’s Wildlife Photographer of the Year\, the Outstanding Nature Photographer of the Year by North American Nature Photography Association\, one of the 100 Most Important People in Photography by American Photo magazine and one of the 40 Most Influential Nature Photographers by Outdoor Photography. His award-winning photographs have been exhibited in major museums including the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History and collected by thousands around the world through his MANGELSEN®—Images of Nature Galleries. He has been praised by  many as a spiritual descendant of Ansel Adams\, Eliot Porter and Edward Weston. \nAfter spending nearly 50 years of traveling to the wildest corners of North America and beyond\, Mangelsen has become legendary for producing a body of work that includes truly awe-inspiring landscapes and some of the most recognizable wildlife scenes ever photographed\, including many counted among the most important of the modern environmental age. Like those of Adams\, Porter and Weston before him\, his photographs are coveted by collectors worldwide. \nJane Goodall and Bill Allen\, the now retired editor in chief of National Geographic\, consider Mangelsen to be one of the most important nature photographers of his generation. “His photographs have impact that stays with you\,” Allen says. “They allow viewers to momentarily escape from their busy lives and dwell inside big humbling landscapes. Rather than being mere documentarian in their purpose\, they also reveal personalities of wild\, sometimes imperiled animals\, reminding us that they are creatures of remarkable sentience.” \nThomas D. Mangelsen\, Rainwalk\, 2002\n  \nABOUT A LIFE IN THE WILD: \nA LIFE IN THE WILD is an exhibition containing 40 of Mangelsen’s most resonant images—images that take viewers on a journey into the haunts of iconic species whose struggles for survival are metaphorical fulcrums for reflection in the 21st century. \nIn an age of rampant digital manipulation of imagery and an era in which many nature photographers take shortcuts to amass portfolios by frequenting “game farms”—facilities that rent out wildlife “models” by the hour—Mangelsen’s work stands as a striking and noble counterpoint\, Allen says. Every single image in Mangelsen’s portfolio has been taken in the wild under natural conditions; the result of him waiting for the “picture perfect moment” across decades and often in hostile conditions. Such a body of work can only be achieved by having a heightened sense of animal behavior\, an uncanny feel for being able to read changing atmospherics in the environment\, and patience. \nAt a time when digital technology is\, notoriously\, reprogramming its users to have shorter attention spans\, A LIFE IN THE WILD stands as a testament to the rewards that can come to people who slow down their lives and wait for nature’s revelations to happen. \nA LIFE IN THE WILD showcases Mangelsen’s signature\, award-winning photographs of landscape and wildlife in all seven continents. “Polar Dance”\, for example\, is a whimsical portrait of polar bears appearing to prance in the Arctic that National Geographic called one of the most important of our time for getting viewers to ponder the consequences of climate change. \nThe exhibition includes Mangelsen’s “Catch of the Day”\, one of the most widely circulated wildlife photographs in history\, showing the exact moment that a spawning salmon\, trying to leap over a small waterfall along Alaska’s Brooks River\, soars right into the awaiting jaws of a massive brown bear. “Catch of the Day” was not only a monumental achievement in photography because it occurred before the advent of digital cameras and involves no digital manipulation\, but also because thousands of photographers have attempted to emulate it. Like all of the photographs in the exhibition\, it sparks conversation. \n\n\nEXHIBITION DETAILS \nThomas D.

Join us for a community panel to discuss real solutions with panelists Jessica Levings\, Mark Watts\, Reggie Williams\, and Barb Shepherd. \n  \n \n  \n  \nThis event is presented with the support and partnership of Northwest Square.  \n  \n \n  \nCheers to 100 years with Cobb Cole!

SUMMARY:Reflections on Water
DESCRIPTION:The Museum of Art – DeLand is proud to partner with Stetson University’s Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience (IWER) to host an Earth Day panel and art installation\, Reflections on Water: An Artistic and Scientific Dialogue. The night will be underscored by a breathtaking\, immersive video projection by artist Luciana Abait. “The Glass Wall\,” will displayed on the outside of the front wall of the Aquatic Center building. \nThe panel consists of Martha Underriner of the Museum of Art – DeLand as moderator\, artist Luciana Abait\, Dr. Jason Evans of the Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience\,  Stephanie Liskey of Sailforth Productions\, and Brenda Wells of the Florida Springs Council. \n \nLuciana Abait is a multi-media artist\, originally from Argentina. Her work focuses on climate change\, environmental fragility\, and their impact on immigrants. Her work\, “The Glass Wall” draws attention to the global water crisis\, representing the abilities and limits of humanity’s power to control nature. The installation awakens viewers to the threat of natural disasters\, the importance of water conservation\, but also “the hope that humans can overcome the challenges of climate change and create a sustainable future.” \nLuciana’s work is global in nature\, and the panel’s goal will be to localize the conversation to Florida water concerns and the science and communication surrounding those concerns. \nEVENT DETAILS \nReflections on Water: An Artistic & Scientific Dialogue \nTuesday\, April 22\, 2025  |  6:30 – 8:45 p.m. \n Sandra Stetson Aquatic Center  \n2636 Alhambra Ave.\, DeLand\, Florida 32720 \nPanel Discussion 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. \n Video on Display until 8:45 p.m. \nAdmission: FREE & Open to the Public \n  \nImage: From The Glass Wall by Luciana Abait
