In Residence brings together the work of four Miami-based artists - Felecia Carlisle, Naomi Fisher, Christy Gast, and Samantha Salzinger - who focus artistic inquiries on the contested space between 

the natural and the built environment. For decades, Miami has been the site of tremendous speculative real estate development, but it is also the southernedge of the famed Florida Everglades, 

one of the most unique geographies in the world and the focus of a vast reclamation project. These artists fold the world around them into complex examinations of the history of art and the history of 

mankind s exploitation of natural resources. In Residence is curated by Jane Simon, USFCAM Curator, and organized by the USF Contemporary Art Museum, Tampa.
