Art Conversation
Remixed: Florida Artists Look at Art History
Friday, August 21
11:00am - 1:00pm
Joanna Robotham, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art at the Tampa Museum of Art, will present a talk on Florida artists Pepe Mar, Mernet Larsen, Purvis Young, and Theo Wujcik.
Inspired by art history, the artists create unique artworks that demonstrate the influence of Old Master painters, the Russian Avant-Garde, the Impressionists, and 20th-century trailblazers. This presentation will highlight how contemporary artists have created a union between the past and the present in their works of art.
Pepe Mar, Mernet Larsen, Purvis Young, and Theo Wujcik’s art are part of the Tampa Museum of Art’s permanent collection. They are featured artists in the poster exhibition Made in Florida, on view across the Hillsborough County Library system.

The Jimmie B. Keel Regional Library opened February 14, 2001 to serve the Carrollwood and Northdale communities in northern Hillsborough County. A 10,000 square foot expansion of the original 25,000 square foot building was completed in February 2014 and features:
- a glass-enclosed children's room and story time room
- a second community room over twice the size of the original
- new spaces, furniture and technologies to facilitate collaborative work
- a vending café
- a larger Carousel Book Store
The library houses a comprehensive circulating collection in multiple formats and a wide variety of programs and services. In addition to the two large community rooms and story time room, four smaller meeting rooms are available for programs, meetings, quiet study and literacy tutoring. A public makerspace, The Hive, offers unique tools, activities and events for hands-on learning. A drive-thru window offers convenient checkout and return of library materials to customers on the go.
