Juror:
Mat Gleason, editor and publisher of Coagula Art Journal
Recently praised by the British critic Julian Stallabrass in his book, Art
Incorporated, The Story of Contemporary Art, Mat Gleason has a keen eye for
quality and authenticity, ferocious wit and an intimate knowledge of the
jungle.

A catalog of accepted works will accompany this exhibition.

Animals, real and imaginary. We fear them, pamper them, tame them, trap
them, eat them, lobby on their behalf, experiment on them, strut them as
status symbols, and exterminate them. How do contemporary artists represent
them?

From the caves of Lascaux, to the halls of the Louvre, there is no escaping
them. With their long pedigree in the history of art, they prowl the great
museums of the world. And today, animals leap from the work of contemporary
artists, symbolically expressing their ideas and emotions. OCCCA's terrific
exhibition space will showcase a menagerie of superb examples of this trend,
from the traditional to the avant-garde, from the realistic to the
fantastic, in painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, video and new
media.
