Orange County Center for Contemporary Art (OCCCA)

Call for Entries for its "Confessions" exhibition

Deadline: February 22, 2006

Confession is often a reference to wrongdoing or the concept of “sin,” but in the broader context, confessions can be any revelation. We are looking for work that discloses or reveals something about the creator, or perhaps about the process of confessing. The "act" of confession allows one to examine something that has been hidden. We hide things because we feel ashamed or inadequate and this causes psychic blockage. By re-introducing them later in our lives we can re-examine experiences with maturity - hopefully to release them and the stress they cause.

Jurors Nancy Harlan and Pamela Grau Twena invite artists to submit work that might not be able to be shown anywhere else. The jurors are hoping to see work that speaks to the personal, to the artist and the act of creating and revealing. Orange County Center for Contemporary Art is devoted to the development and exploration of ideas in contemporary art in an atmosphere that promotes experimentation and risk-taking, without censorship.

Exhibition dates: April 1 through 30, 2006.
Deadline: Entries are due February 22, 2006
Jurors: Nancy Harlan and Pamela Grau Tweena.
The exhibition is open to all artists in all media

Deadline: ongoing

Film and Video 825 is a series of semi-monthly screenings of locally, nationally and internationally recognized film and video artists' work. Our mission is to provide a forum for presenting experimental film and video in Los Angeles. In a city dominated by Hollywood, venues such as ours become a necessity for artists working in time-based media that is outside the mainstream of narrative cinema. Our curatorial vision is open to both shorts and features in experimental, performance, animation, and documentary forms.
