Kurt Piazza. Organic Compression #6. 2005. Ink on Arches Paper, 24” x 30”

[5]art curator Kurt Piazza—a.k.a., the man who came this close to making the Gulf Coast Museum of Art hip—will lend his critical eye to the next exhibit at the West Tampa Center for the Arts.

REDUCED is limited to works in black, white, or gray with dimensions less than 5’ x 5’ (unless the work is time- or performance-based, in which case dimensions do not apply). Prices of works should not exceed $200. The call for artists is open until Dec. 7 or Dec. 6 if you’re postmarking.

Piazza, who often works with a restrained color palette (see his lovely drawing of organic forms above), will be a featured artist at the Pool Art Fair during Art Basel Miami Beach, Dec. 6-10.

Art Squeeze will, of course, be in the house for Miami Basel. Stay tuned for frequent reports starting Wednesday.
