There’s certainly diversity among the three new shows that MoCa Cleveland is opening this week.
Message from Our Planet: Digital Art from the Thoma Collection features 19 works by 17 internationally noted artist who work in digital and electronic art. “Themed like a global time capsule, the group of artworks reflect the artifacts and ambitions of contemporary life,” they say.
Also opening is the 2024 Toby’s Prize exhibition winner, Skinchangers: Begotten of my Flesh, the first solo museum show by Mexican artist Ruben Ulises Rodriguez Montoya. It builds on his 2022 body of work, James Webb and the Thestral Born Without a Vertebrae, the story of a vampire who has to build himself a new body from space debris after his spaceship has left an apocalypse-ravaged Earth. In this show, Montoya will use expanded polystyrene to turn the gallery into the spaceship’s interior, filled with shapeshifting creatures hatched during its journey.
The third exhibit, called A PLACE meant, a collaboration of Lutheran Metropolitan ministry and designer Sai Sinbondit explores design solutions for affordable housing in Cleveland. It offers examples from around the world and suggests how they can be adapted to Cleveland.
The free, public opening reception takes place Friday June 28 from 7-9:30pm. Go here for more information.
