Taking Their Place: Recent Acquisitions in Context
to
Madison Museum of Contemporary Art 227 State St., Madison, Wisconsin 53703
The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art (MMoCA) will present Taking Their Place: Recent Acquisitions in Context, in celebration of its ten-year anniversary in its striking Cesar Pelli-designed building. Drawn exclusively from the museum’s permanent collection, Taking Their Place highlights more than 50 works in various media that have entered MMoCA’s permanent collection within the past decade, over a dozen of which are on display for the first time. By bringing together newer acquisitions with more familiar favorites, this exhibition illuminates the conceptual and formal connections between existing and newer works, and offers insight into how and why a museum builds its collection.
