Member Preview Day:
Old and New Dreams: Recent Acquisitions in a Collection

Members at all levels are invited to be among the first to experience Old and New Dreams: Recent Acquisitions in a Collection at MOCA Grand Avenue. Join us for a member preview day before the exhibition opens to the public.

Old and New Dreams: Recent Acquisitions in a Collection highlights acquisitions made over the past two years, situating them in relation to hallmark historical examples from MOCA’s renowned collection. Recently added works by Camille Henrot, Ian Cheng, Essie Bendolph Pettway, and Trulee Hall, among many others, share space with canonical works across four distinct galleries, each oriented towards themes that have been present in MOCA’s Collection from its earliest days. These include figuration, as artists have pursued it in various media; representations of technological sentience; the intersection of geometric modernism and self-taught or vernacular art; and occultism in California art. Neither a full picture of MOCA’s recent collecting nor a survey of its collection as a whole, the groupings are meant as case studies from a history caught mid-stream.

An invitation with event details will be emailed to all members. Memberships can be purchased or renewed online. If you would like to upgrade an existing membership, please contact the Membership Department at membership@moca.org.
