The 701 CCA South Carolina Biennial 2019 is the fifth survey of South Carolina art taking place at 701 Center for Contemporary Art. As the successor of the South Carolina Triennial, 701 CCA’s Biennial is the main regular event of its kind. The Biennial presents some of the best contemporary art produced statewide and is a juried, multimedia exhibition. Acceptance to the 701 CCA South Carolina Biennial 2019 was based on a competitive selection process. Contemporary artists living in South Carolina were invited via a public call to submit both images of their recent artwork and documentation of their career to 701 CCA. An independent jury of three art professionals reviewed all submissions, selecting 24 artists out of a total of about 150 applications. The jurors were Amy Chalmers, Curator of Art at the South Carolina State Museum in Columbia, SC; Wendy Earle, Curator of Art at the Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art in Winston-Salem, NC; and Karen Oremus, Chair of the Department of Fine Arts at Winthrop University in Rock Hill, SC. A 701 CCA curatorial team selected specific works for the exhibition through submitted images. The Biennial 2019 will be presented in two parts, with openings in September and November. The first part of 701 CCA’s Biennial 2019 will begin with a reception on Thursday, September 26, 7-9 pm, remaining on view through November 3, 2019, at 701 CCA. The exhibition features works created on a variety of media—oil or acrylic on canvas, photography, inkjet print, woodcut, mixed media, and three-dimensional art, inter alia—by 12 local contemporary artists, namely Michaela Pilar Brown (Columbia), Jocelyn Châteauvert (Charleston), Charles Clary (Conway), Diane Kilgore Condon (Greenville), Barbara Duval (Charleston), Amber Eckersley (Seneca), Eugene Ellenberg (Columbia), Jennifer Kelly Hoskins (Columbia), Flavia Lovatelli (Columbia), Kate Hooray Osmond (Charleston), Herb Parker (Charleston), and Michael Webster (Spartanburg).
