2008 California Biennial
October 26, 2008 – March 15, 2009
The 2008 California Biennial continues OCMA’s long history of presenting new developments in contemporary art. This exhibition features the work of a multi-generational group: established artists who have had a profound impact on the development of contemporary art in dialogue with emerging artists. This presentation of the California Biennial includes works by more than 50 artists and, for the first time, incorporates off-site projects with collaborating venues from Tijuana to Northern California.
