In response to OFFSET: Robert Rauschenberg at USF Graphicstudio, scholars from interdisciplinary USF departments will each select an artwork from the exhibition and give a brief talk about that artwork s historical and contemporary significance. Participants include Dr Ulluminar Salim, Judy Genshaft Honor's College, Dr Christian Wells, Department of Anthropology, and Dr Amy Rust, Department of Humanities and Cultural Studies.



OFFSET: Robert Rauschenberg at USF Graphicstudio tells the story of Robert Rauschenberg s long and fruitful collaboration with Donald J. Saff, founder of Graphicstudio in 1968, Distinguished Professor, Chair of the Art Department, and Founding Dean of the College of The Arts at the University of South Florida. Together, Rauschenberg and Saff worked on projects that had profound impacts locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. In addition to the artist s experimentation across mediums, Rauschenberg s legacy is explored through the works of artists that recall his radical approach to materials, process, and concepts, including Trisha Brown, Rochelle Feinstein, Christian Marclay, Narsiso Martinez, Bosco Sodi, and Tavares Strachan.
