Publisher's Synopsis
For decades the California Biennial featured emerging artists from within the state, many of whom went on to worldwide acclaim. With California's current demographics increasingly linked to the countries throughout the Pacific Rim - an area that is producing some of today's most innovative art - Orange County Museum of Art Chief Curator Dan Cameron has expanded the exhibition to include residents of more than a dozen countries. The exhibition's inaugural year features the exciting work of thirty-two artists hailing from Japan, the Philippines, Mexico, Vietnam, and Peru, among many other countries. The result is a uniquely textured and rich sampling of contemporary art that will engage a more cosmopolitan conversation about art and life on the Pacific Rim.
