The Foundation of the Museum: MOCA’s Collection shows the collection as a changing, mutating landscape of developments in contemporary art and curatorial focus as well as the social and cultural backdrops that inform them. Featuring a diverse range of works by artists both long- and newly-associated with the museum—many seen for the first time in years or never before shown—the exhibition reflects a belief that MOCA’s histories and futures have always been multiple, ambitious, precious, and unique. Senior Curator Bennett Simpson leads this final walkthrough of the exhibition before it closes.
