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.
The blurb on this makes it sound like some kind of disaster show, which is not the case--the conceptual pieces that are on display are actually all very very fun. I took my 6 and 5 year old to the show yesterday: http://schwarm.blogspot.com/2008/02/tumble-room-by-martin-kersels.html
and they had a blast! There are several pieces that spin and revolve--the giant chess set surrounded by monochrome images is aweseome.
this is yet another in a series of amazing shows that have been put on by OCMA.
