This past weekend, the Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) Toronto re-opened. It's been a while since MOCCA closed its door on Queen Street West back in 2015. For its opening weekend, admission was free and it was crowded. Lots of kids running around, particularly on the first floor where Andreas Angelidakis's DEMOS installation lets the audience play and move the colourful foam blocks.
Housed in the former Tower Automotive Building, the new site is beautiful and fits so well with what MOCA has done and continues to do now. The space is a true dream with the concrete beams and unfinished, industrial vibes.
The exhibits are not underwhelming either. From addressing highly relevant social issues, to exploring disagreement and the anxiety we feel towards disagreement, to giving a glance of the resident artists' spaces, MOCA's opening weekend was great. Here's a look at my Saturday there.
The first two photos are pulled from MOCA's website. The rest are my own.
