Join MOCA Artistic Director and Curator Rui Mateus Amaral for a special, in-depth walkthrough of MOCA’s Spring 2025 exhibitions. This guided tour offers a rare opportunity to gain insight into the curatorial vision behind some of the season’s most thought-provoking and visually arresting works.
Mateus Amaral will guide you through Jessica Stockholder’s vibrant and ambitious installation The Squared Circle: Ringing. You’ll then explore Justin Ming Yong’s Blur, where his intricately crafted quilts transform the museum’s elevators into places of unexpected comfort and create an immersive art space within the North End Gallery. From there, step into Jennie C. Jones’ Year of Construction: 1970—a powerful sound collage that echoes through MOCA’s South Stairwell, where the sounds climb the stairs with you to a crescendo before spiralling back down to the softer tones the piece started with.
On Floor 2, you’ll have a chance to learn more about Alex Da Corte’s vividly surreal Ear Worm. The curator tour will conclude on the third floor with Margaux Williamson’s Shoes, books, hands, buildings, and cars, walking participants through the intimate and dreamlike painting exhibition which includes many newly commissioned works on display for the very first time.
Registration is required. Ticket includes general admission.
