DIRECTIONS

The DIRECTIONS project is an exhibition curated by Jeffrey Crussell, which includes a group of 11 artists interpreting 55 specific directions in order to produce individual works of art at the Orange County Center for Contemporary Art in Santa Ana, California in August 2009. Each artist has worked in a vacuum absorbing and interpreting the DIRECTIONS in order to produce their final piece. They were asked not to discuss the project with anyone during the course of the year and each artist’s identity was carefully guarded. On several occasions the artists are asked to incorporate time and date sensitive DIRECTIONS that would assemble them at the same city park or street corner to perform a task of gathering information that would be used in their final piece.
