Pivot Points 3
Tonight at 7 p.m. is Pivot Points 3 at MOCA.
This exhibition is MOCA’s third in the series of seminal works from the museum’s permanent collection, each of which denote either pivotal shits in an artist’s career or in the contemporary art world at large.
You may recognize the above-pictured work by Catherine Opie, who’s recently been subject of a retrospective at the Guggenheim. Titled Justin Bond, this chromogenic print first went on view at MOCA’s inaugural exhibition back in 1996.
This piece, titled Firecrotch, by Hungarian-born, NY-based artist Rita Ackermann is inspired by one of her daughter’s drawings and marks a more primitive shift in the artist’s career as well as a change in her use of materials. Ackerman will also be on hand at the museum tomorrow at 2 p.m. to give a lecture on her work
Also included in the exhibition are artists Magdalena Abakanowicz, Cory Arcangel, Roni Horn, Hank Willis Thomas, Uta Barth, Lothar Baumgarten, Dawoud Bey, COOPER, Gregory Crewdson, Tracey Emin, Anna Gaskell, Felix Gonzalez-Torres, Adler Guerrier, Dan Flavin, Mark Handforth, Nancy Hayes, Zoe Leonard, Allan McCollum, Yoko Ono, and Richard Pettibone.
