Call for Art, "Revisiting Beauty"

Call for Art, "Revisiting Beauty"
April 29 - May 29, 2010
Deadline to Apply: March 10, 2010
Opening Reception: May 1, 6-10pm

Orange County Center for Contemporary Art
117 North Sycamore
Santa Ana, CA 92701

The meaning of beauty has been debated by philosophers since the time of the Greeks. Courted or scorned, distrusted, devalued, deconstructed, beauty promises pleasure while provoking awe, admiration and even fear. Beauty quickens the pulse. Attention Contemporary Artists! OCCCA is now accepting submissions of artworks representing ideas of the beautiful. Painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video, installation, and computer-based New Media projects welcomed. Beauty stirs the understanding, and is the enemy of complacency. Concepts alone can never replace it. Beauty’s provocations are no longer innocent.

Piper Hopkins sightings at Area 51

Piper Hopkins: New Work explores the nuances of emotion and nostalgia through frenetic line work, jarring static forms and scale. By creating visual juxtapositions of loose figural forms placed on highly reflective metallic and silver-leafed backgrounds, Hopkins delves into how memories and feelings of nostalgia are interwoven, contained, or obfuscated by time.

Piper Hopkins: New Work opens May 10th
Area 51, 401 E. Pine St
Seattle, WA 98122

Opening reception 6-9pm.
Valet Parking will be provided.
Please RSVP to piper@piperhopkins.com
