OsCene 2010 celebrates the latest in contemporary art and culture in the OC. Highlighting local Orange County/Long Beach artists, OsCene 2010 features painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, multi-media installations, video, architecture, performance, and design—some of the most provocative art that Orange County has to offer!
In the face of international biennials, world-wide art fairs, and attention to the ever-changing cities of the next "it" place for art and artists, OsCene 2010 features the works of over 40 artists and aims to look at regionalism, a term that has, in the last five years, taken on negative connotations. In this wave of international focus, it is worth being reminded of the art making practices taking place in our near surroundings; looking at art being made here and now. Orange County is an amalgam of characteristics: tourist attraction; nature preserves; notably politically conservative yet also the birthplace of many ska/punk music bands; master planned communities; diverse demographics; 34 incorporated cities, the oldest being Anaheim (1870) and the most recent being Aliso Viejo (2001); and the important port locations of Long Beach and San Pedro. Similarly, the works produced by artists are equally diverse and sometimes conflicting. OsCene 2010 aims to represent this multiplicity of a locale shown through the works of diverse artists.
