2008 CALIFORNIA BIENNIAL

Orange County Museum of Art
Oct 26, 2008 -- Mar 15, 2009
The 2008 California Biennial continues the Orange County Museum of Art's four decade long history of presenting new developments in California art. This year's biennial is guest curated by Lauri Firstenberg, founder and director/curator of LAXART in Los Angeles. The exhibition includes works by more than 50 artists and, for the first time, incorporates off site projects with collaborating venues from Tijuana to Northern California. The exhibition is presented at both the Newport Beach and South Coast Plaza locations.

It has been a rough start to the new millennium, and sadly art survey shows have failed to reflect the context in which art makers and viewers live. Thankfully Lauri Firstenberg of LAXART has remedied the disconnect with the 2008 California Biennial.

C-Monster conveniently ranks the Biennial work according to how likely it is to appeal to stoners. I'm sure that's handy for some.
