NEW METHODS SYMPOSIUM: Creating Hemispheric Dialogue at MOCA

Beginning with its 1996 inaugural exhibition, Defining the Nineties: Consensus Making in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles, MOCA established itself as a leader in focusing attention on critical issues concerning the international art world and artists.  From May 4 -6, 2011 MOCA will host the first of its kind international symposium titled New Methods, which will bring together artist-run organizations from countries throughout Latin America that have emerged from the need for independent education for working artists.   The three-day symposium, which will be open to the public, will be the first time that leaders from these organizations will be able to meet in the United States, publicly address their practices, and increase communication among themselves.  In bringing the organizations together, MOCA, North Miami will serve as a hub between Latin America, the United States and the international art world in highlighting the work of the participating organizations and connecting innovative artistic practices in Latin America with the Miami community and other audiences around the world.
