2002 California Biennial
This summer the Orange County Museum of Art presents one of its most
eagerly anticipated and celebrated exhibitions, the California Biennial.
The 2002 California Biennial features new work by young artists from San
Diego to Sonoma, from the Los Angeles region and the Bay Area. Rather
than
defining a prevailing theme, the exhibition explores the most vibrant
ideas and sensibilities among a new generation of visual artists,
reflecting not only the changing state of California art but also the
museums commitment to showcasing contemporary art as it evolves in a
regional, national, and international framework. The 2002 California
Biennial is co-curated by Elizabeth Armstrong, chief curator and acting
director, and Irene Hofmann, curator of contemporary art.
This year's roster of artists includes Rebeca Bollinger, Kristin
Calabrese, Roman de Salvo, Chris Finley, Evan Holloway, Tom LaDuke,
Kelly
Nipper, Yoshua Okon, Joe Sola, Stephanie Syjuco, Charlie White, and
Yoram
Wolberger.
A 64-page, hard cover catalogue published by the Orange County Museum of
Art accompanies the 2002 California Biennial. The full color volume
includes introductory text by the co-curators of the exhibition,
Elizabeth
Armstrong and Irene Hofmann. It also features essays on each of the
artists written by Irene Hofmann and guest writers Kristin Chambers and
Andrea Scott. The catalogue is available at the museum stores in Newport
Beach and South Coast Plaza and on the museums website at the cost of
$24.95
The 2002 California Biennial exhibition and the accompanying catalogue
is
