CoCA 2011 22nd Annual Exhibition Juried by Gary Hill
Now on display at CoCA Georgetown, Seattle Design Center
With submissions from 14 countries world-wide and 21 states, the 22nd Annual clearly captures a global sense of contemporary art. Ranging from fiber to painting, photography, video, installation, sound, sculpture, and new media, the exhibition presents a diversity of materials and approaches that cumulatively reflect a certain restlessness with representation. In the work of these 16 artists, audiences can observe a collective effort to broaden the meaning of identity, memory, time and history at a cultural moment of great economic uncertainty.
Read Gayle Clemans' review in the Seattle Times, January 13, 2012.
For this year's 22nd anniversary of the show, CoCA is proud to have Gary Hill as juror:
Internationally recognized for the broad scope of his work, ranging from media arts to sculpture, from installation to poetics, Gary Hill has explored the ineffable relationship between text, sound, and image for nearly 40 years. A MacArthur Grant recipient and Fellow at both the Rockefeller and Guggenheim Foundations, he also was recently awarded a 2011 Arts Innovator Award from Artist Trust and an honorary doctorate from Cornish College of the Arts (2011). Born in Santa Monica in 1951, Hill also grew up surfing and remains informed by the restless energy of the sea itself. http://www.garyhill.com/
