Wonmi’s WAREHOUSE Programs is MOCA’s signature platform dedicated to showcasing live art at the intersection of artistic forms, experimentation, and public engagement.

Housed in an iconic industrial building at the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, WAREHOUSE provides space for works that defy categorization and celebrates live art as an integral part of contemporary expression. The series presents and premieres newly commissioned works, music festivals, and residencies that foreground sensorial experience centered on the body, movement, and sound. Synonymous with innovation and risk, WAREHOUSE offers artists and audiences a truly unique museum experience, one that is unexpected, visceral, and alive.

The Fall 2024 Season of Wonmi’s WAREHOUSE Programs brings together five projects—a vogue ball, two site-responsive sound and vocal performances, a three-day festival with Wild Up, and the West Coast premiere of Dynasty Handbag’s Titanic Depression. Collectively, these projects consider how artmaking can be viewed through the lens of democratic engagement. It is an opportunity to explore how artistic creation, particularly live art, is shaped by themes of site-specificity, process, collaboration, and community all of which can also be attributed to civic participation.
