Disorderly Conduct: Recent Art in Tumultuous Times

Disorderly Conduct: Recent Art in Tumultuous Times

February 3, 2009 – May 25, 2009

Disorderly Conduct: Recent Art in Tumultuous Times features projects by California-based and international artists whose works reveal the political turbulence, cultural malaise, and instability of our time. Participating artists include Pilar Albarracín, Karen Finley, Pearl C. Hsiung, Glenn Kaino, Mike Kelley, Martin Kersels, Daniel Joseph Martinez, Rodney McMillian, and Robin Rhode. Using iconic structures, striking images, and performance, the artists comment on the bifurcated social and political ideologies operating within our world today.

This exhibition was organized by the Orange County Museum of Art and curated by Karen Moss.
