"Conversations at MOCA: HAVANA, HAITI Iris Photo Collective," scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 23, is the third installment of the three-part series in conjunction with Miami-based photojournalist Carl Juste's current installation, "I am A Man," on the MOCA plaza.
Conversations at MOCA: Interview/Interview with Luis Gispert + William Cordova
Date/Time: Friday, Sept. 11, 7:00-8:30 p.m. EST
Join artists Luis Gispert and William Cordova as they discuss their past collaborations, current work, and future projects. Both Gispert and Cordova have artworks in MOCA's permanent collection and have exhibited at the museum. In 2003, MOCA presented Cordova's exhibition "No More Lonely Nights" with work that conjured various memories and emotions, inspired by songs, lyrics, and snippets of conversation. Cordova's site-specific installation fused urban culture and ancient Andean spirituality. MOCA presented Gispert's first comprehensive solo museum exhibition in 2009, which featured large-scale photographs, videos, sculpture and film.
