FREDRIC SNITZER GALLERY,Fredric Snitzer Gallery is pleased to present a summer group show of forthcoming and recent MFA graduates from Columbia University. This exhibition, comprised of twenty-one emerging artists, highlights a diverse range of culture makers across intersecting disciplines and media. Each artist explores different ideas and themes within their work while collectively building a cultural web of our current reality, thinking critically about materials, histories, social dynamics, and what the future holds.

Collection Focus is a series of exhibitions that draw from works that have been a part of MOCA’s permanent collection for decades and create new ways to engage with past and recent acquisitions. The first in the series, Light Play, presents works that range from John Espinosa’s installation Standing Still While We Move Across Land, which explores UV light as a metaphorical energy source, to Jo Nigohossian’s formalist sculptures, Steel and Neon Sprawl, which was inspired by the flashing neon of a Las Vegas hotel from her childhood.
