Disorderly Conduct: Recent Art in Tumultuous Times

february 3 - may 25, 2008

Disorderly Conduct: Recent Art in Tumultuous Times features painting, video, and installation projects by local and international artists whose works reveals the political turbulence, cultural malaise and general instability of our tumultuous times. Including Pilar Albarracin, Karen Finley, Pearl C. Hsiung, Glenn Kaino, Mike Kelley, Martin Kersels, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Rodney McMillian, and Robin Rhode, these artists reference subjects such as war and terror, social and racial tension, urban and environmental disaster, psychological break-down, and criminal behavior in a range of mixed media and video installations. Using striking images and imposing structures, often imbued with surrealist absurdity and irony, they represent and perform this pervasive sense of global chaos and disorder.



Disorderly Conduct is organized by the Orange County Museum of Art and curated by Karen Moss, curator of collections and director of education & public programs at OCMA and co-presented by the haudenschildGarage, La Jolla.

This exhibition and its public programs are cosponsored by the haudenschildGarage, La Jolla. Significant support is provided by Michael D. Ray.
