The ideas on the wall were selected from a call to architects to destroy existing paradigms about art galleries in order to re-conceive of them and imagine the museums and galleries of the future.
The jury selected 69 ideas out of the over 130 that were submitted. Several common themes are visible including ideas about itinerant galleries, mobile units, condoization, everyday life as art, accessibility and utlizing available spaces and structures. A number of unique and stand alone ideas are also among the display.
Eight of the ideas were made into a free postcard available at MOCCA (indicated on the list with *).
