MOCA Grand Avenue
Join us for a conversation and book signing with Richard Meyer and Jeffrey Deitch, moderated by Selma Holo.
Contemporary art in the early twenty-first century is often discussed as though it were a radically new phenomenon unmoored from history. Yet all works of art were once contemporary to the artist and culture that produced them. In What Was Contemporary Art? Richard Meyer reclaims the contemporary from historical amnesia, exploring episodes in the study, exhibition, and reception of early twentieth-century art and visual culture. A generous selection of images, many in color—from works of fine art to museum brochures and magazine covers—support and extend Meyer’s narrative. These works were contemporary to their own moment. Now, in Meyer’s account, they become contemporary to ours as well.
FREE; no reservations required

MOCA Pacific Design Center
MOCA presents the first Los Angeles museum exhibition of the work of graphic designer Stefan Sagmeister, an artist who not only tests the boundary between art and design, but often transgesses it through his imaginative implementation of typography. <em>The Happy Show</em>, a thematic exhibition of film, print, infographics, sculpture, and interactive installations offers visitors the experience of walking into the designer's mind as he attempts to increase his happiness via mediation, cognitive therapy, and mood-altering pharmaceuticals.
