Curated by Roman Stollenwerk

Artists’ reception: January 22, 2013

Chaffey College and the Wignall Museum of Contemporary Art are pleased to present The New World, January 22 – March 16, 2013. The reception for the artists will be January 22, 2013 from 6-8pm with light refreshments and entertainment. The New World is an exhibition that considers changing social, political and economic relations in the world from the perspective of Southern California-trained artists.

The New World features artists who attended art school in Southern California, but whose outlook, explicitly or implicitly, engages with the changing world as emerging markets grow in economic and cultural prominence. Their work explores the conflicting feelings of fear and optimism elicited by a globalized world and art market, as well as the excitement, fascination, experimentation, uncertainty and displacement that accompanies change.

The New World will include work by: Isabel Avila, Chris Barnard, Cathy Breslaw, Hugo Crosthwaite, Asad Faulwell, Chuck Feesago, Galeria Perdida, Kaguya, Bianca Kolonusz-Partee, Elleni Sclavenitis, and Joe Suzuki.
