The Last Day of MOCA exhibition featuring Latin American
The Geffen Contemporary – Little Tokyo, CA
2/27/11

Looking for somewhere to go during a crisp and beautiful afternoon post-torrential winter storms?  Feast your eyes on some electrifying works of art that require no paint or canvases.  All you need is your olfactory senses and an overactive imagination.  MOCA’s Suprasensorial: Experiments in Light, Color, and Space is the first museum exhibition to situate pioneering Latin American artists among the international canon of those working with light and space.

Lucio Fontana, "Struttura al neon per la IX Triennale di Milano"

The exhibition presents Latin America as the source of new ideas about the nature and function of art through the re-creation of important large scale installations by five highly regarded and influential artists: Carlos Cruz Diez, Lucio Fontana, Julio Le Parc, Hélio Oiticica and Neville D’Almeida, and Jesús Rafael Soto. The exhibition aims to illuminate the field by expanding the dialogue surrounding light-and-space practices in contemporary visual art beyond the California tradition of the late ’60s and ’70s, to include pivotal Latin American impulses expressed more than a decade earlier.
