#Moca museum north miami series
The series will continue with “Into The Great Dying: Roles We Play,” a thought-provoking, interactive ceramic sculpture by Miami-Based Artist Beatriz Chachamovits, that engages with the Marine Landscape, highlighting the decline of Coral Reef Ecosystems and the impact of human actions. The exhibition will also include benches and solar-powered USB outlets for visitors to use. Utilizing sustainable materials such as repurposed steel drums to form sculptural planters, “Victory Garden” will feature plants native to South Florida and the Caribbean such as Cuban Oregano, Collard Greens, Starfruit, Bee Balm and Everglades Cherry Tomatoes that will be harvested and shared. Drawing inspiration from victory gardens of the past, which were planted during wartime to supplement rations and boost morale, Moore’s “Victory Garden” connects the local community with contemporary art and encourages visitors to reflect on their relationship with the built environment.
This space was donated to MOCA through the year 2009 by Tony Goldman and Joey Goldman and is used to present exhibitions and projects by emerging artists and works from the permanent collection.On view from February 8th, 2023 through June 25th, 2023, visitors will be able to step into the Paradise Courtyard and discover “Victory Garden,” an interactive sculptural community garden created by Miami-Based Artist Emmett Moore. In December 2005, the Museum of Contemporary Art opened a satellite exhibition and art warehouse space, MOCA at Goldman Warehouse, in the Wynwood Arts and Entertainment District of Miami (404 NW 26th Street). In 2007, MOCA and the American Fund for the Tate Gallery in London, received a landmark donation from Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz of No Ghost Just A Shell, a multi-media collaboration of 17 international artists originated by Pierre Huyghe and Philippe Parreno, and Zero Hero, a monumental multi-media installation by John Bock. and abroad and has made the collection and exhibition of installation art, video and film a special focus of its permanent collection. MOCA's permanent collection reflects significant artistic developments in contemporary art by emerging and established artists from the U.S.
The expansion, to be designed by Gwathmey, will triple the museum’s current exhibition space and include such features as a new education wing, expanded facilities for public programs, and enhanced public areas. In April 2007, MOCA announced plans for the expansion of its North Miami facility to satisfy the public demand for more MOCA exhibitions, access to the permanent collection and expanded educational programming. The museum was designed by internationally acclaimed architect Charles Gwathmey of Gwathmey-Siegel, New York, who worked in conjunction with the Miami firm of Gelabert-Navia to create an exquisite space in which to experience art. The Museum of Contemporary Art opened its Joan Lehman Building in1996.
The Museum carries out this mission through exhibitions and acquiring works for its permanent collection as well as related symposia, publications, films, lectures, performances, and educational outreach activities, thereby providing a forum for dialogue about contemporary art in the community. The museum is particularly interested in providing a forum for young and emerging artists and in presenting and collecting the works by local as well as internationally recognized artists.
The mission of the Museum of Contemporary Art, North Miami is to make contemporary art accessible to diverse audiences-especially under-served populations-by exploring the art of our time and its relationship to a broader cultural context.
