Opening September 5th at Orange County Center for Contemporary Art: 

Four Degrees of Separation: I Really Like Your Work 

Every two years or so, the artist members of Orange County Center for Contemporary Art have the delightful good fortune to organize one of OCCCA's monthly  exhibits, which always open on a Santa Ana ArtWalk night. This exhibit (which I organized)  attracted more than 650 visitors to the opening. 

Four Degrees of Separation: I Really Like Your Work flips the conventional curatorial model on its head by first populating the exhibit with artists who are inspired by each other's work, only afterwards locating their common conceptual and aesthetic concern, which - in the case of these artists - is the "space where political realities and spiritual reflection intersect" (Shana Nys Dambrot 2026).

By following the exhibit's chains of influence, art lovers can gain insight into how artistic innovations spread, evolve, and transform across different practices. Come visit! September 5th - September 26, 2026
