BOOM is an annual artist-developed survey of art in and around Los Angeles.
From an area regarded for its reputable educational opportunities in the fine arts,
BOOM features traditional and non-traditional artwork by MFA students who
have recently graduated or are currently working out of colleges and universities
in Southern California. BOOM 2012Â introduces its artists to a contemporary
art ecology that endures as a global and desert-coast nexus of experimentation
and elaboration in the arts. A collective student-organized effort, the exhibition is an
opportunity to engage a heterogeneous scope of new art. BOOM includes
artworks that have been developed in contexts of contemplative study
with rigorous student and faculty dialogue, from Orange County to
Santa Barbara. Considering the formal MFA course in conjunction with
our subversive, playful, and idiosyncratic sensitivities, BOOM is
pleased to announce this second-annual group exhibition in partnership
with den contemporary. Representing 10 Southern California
institutions, the participating artists include:
Jonathan Apgar, Gabe Arroyo, Daniel Axe, Rachel Bank, Logan Bell, Tim Brown, Ryan Bulis, Andrew Cameron, Renee Chartier, Catherine Davis, David De Boer, Mauricio Demarfil, Jenny Donaire, Clifford Eberly,  Marten Elder, Sean C.
