Members’ Juried Exhibition
Interrogating Beauty
February 21 - May 25, 2008

Curated by Eleanor Heartney

The annual Members’ Juried Exhibition is one of the many opportunities the DCCA offers each year to its artist members who live regionally and nationally.  The show provides artists with the opportunity to be part of a group exhibition at the DCCA as well as exposure to nationally known leaders in the contemporary arts, such as this year’s juror, author and art critic Eleanor Heartney.

The theme of this year’s exhibition, “beauty,” is a broad theme that may be interpreted in many ways—from the sublime to the ridiculous—from the role of fashion to the post industrial landscape.  Artists submitting for the show were free to work in any media and approach the topic from any point of view.

Eleanor Heartney is currently a writer for Art in America and is the author of such books as Critical Condition: American Culture at the Crossroads, Defending Complexity: Art, Politics and the New World Order, and Postmodern Heretics: Catholic Imagination in Contemporary Art.  She was the 1992 recipient of College Art Association’s Frank Jewett Mather Award for distinction in art criticism and has also received grants from the New York Foundation for the Arts and the Asian Cultural Council.  She is a past president of the American section of the International Art Critics’ Association.
