SUMMARY:Floating Metal: UNDERcurrents In My Father's Garden
LOCATION:Museum of Fine Arts\, 530 West Call St\, 250 Fine Arts Building
DESCRIPTION:The FSU Museum of Fine Arts invites you to "Floating Metal: UN
 DERcurrents In My Father's Garden\," on view from August 24\, 2026 - Marc
 h 13\, 2027.\n\n“Floating Metal” brings together sculpture\, image\, vide
 o\, performance\, and sound to honor the artistic legacy of Ed Love (1936
 -1999) and the intergenerational creative practice of choreographer and p
 erformer nia love (b. 1963). The exhibition extends nia love’s long-term 
 serial projects g1(host) and UNDERcurrents\, which explore the enduring h
 istories of the Middle Passage and transatlantic slavery. This newest ite
 ration continues to invite audiences to probe the seam between catastroph
 ic history and everyday memory\, pivoting on the elemental medium of wate
 r.\n\nThe exhibition also marks the first museum presentation of Ed Love’
 s Beloved series (1988) with metal sculptures commemorating black histori
 cal figures\, completed shortly before his untimely passing in 1999. As a
  representative yet under-recognized artist of the Black Arts generation\
 , Ed Love is known for welding discarded metal salvaged from scrap yards 
 into powerful totems of global black consciousness. Likewise driven by th
 e social force and weight of blackness\, nia love’s multi-modal movement 
 practice aims to breach the propriety of “dance\,” refashioning it as ges
 ture–the embodied memory of movement\, geographies\, and scales of time g
 athered and shared through black forms of life and culture.\n\nThe presen
 tation of Floating Metal: UNDERcurrents In My Father’s Garden by nia lov\
