'O.C.D.'
Those who watched local artist Miles Mendenhall on Bravo's "Work of Art" reality show shouldn't be surprised to know that obsessive-compulsive disorder is a common affliction among artists. This new group show explores how artists are affected by -- and creatively respond to -- OCD. Though it certainly can be a detriment, the resulting behavior can have its benefits: Painstaking processes get an artist's full attention, and attention to detail is paramount to many an artist's success. The 25 artists represented include Christine Tulgren, Steven Lang, Steph DeMars and Kyle Osvog. More event details.
