MOCA presents William Pope: Trinket, an exhibition of new and recent work by Chicago-based artist William Pope, an essential figure in the development of performance and installation art since the 1970s. Installed in the soaring spaces of The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA, the exhibition explores the impact of American history and politics on the social and psychological body.  The “display” features an ensemble grouping of large-scale installations, videos, paintings, photography, and performance works, including a new performance and sculpture work made especially for the exhibition.

MOCA is pleased to present the first comprehensive survey in the U.S. of the 50-year career of Sturtevant (American, b. 1924, d. 2014).  Rather than taking the form of a traditional retrospective, the exhibition offers a historical overview of her work from a contemporary vantage point, interspersing more recent video pieces among work from all periods of her career, including Johns Target with Four Faces (study) (1986) from MOCA’s permanent collection. The exhibition brings together over 40 key artworks in every medium in which Sturtevant worked—including painting, drawing, photography, performance, sculpture, film, and video—and identifies her as a pioneering and pivotal figure in the history of modern and postmodern art.  GOLD METROPOLITAN MEDIA is pleased to be a part of this by creating city-wide banners marking the exhibit at MOCA Grand Avenue through July 27, 2015.
