Akin Exhibition MOCA Toronto

‘An Index’ Opening Reception

MOCA Toronto 158 Sterling Rd., Toronto

Join us to celebrate the first exhibition of Akin residency artists at MOCA.
This location at 158 Sterling Road is a site of making: from its beginnings as a historic car parts factory, to an underground venue for raves and artist studios. Throughout the past year, the fourth floor of MOCA has served to extend this legacy by opening space for studios, residencies, as well as programs exploring art’s utilitarian role in contemporary society. In the context of the site’s histories, this exhibition features works by artists who have produced within this space as part of the inaugural Akin Studio Programme. 'An Index' makes visible the labours of artistic creation through an open and honest charting of the processes, challenges, delights, and failures of making art in the city.

MOCA Toronto Akin party Night Visions

MOCA Goes Dark: Night Visions Dance Party – SOLD OUT

MOCA Toronto 158 Sterling Rd., Toronto

MOCA will be transformed into an interactive art party by a group of Toronto’s talented emerging artists. This building, at 158 Sterling Road, was once the site of legendary illicit dance parties, raves, and punk gigs. Taking inspiration from this past, underground nightlife hub, we will revive its wild legacy for one night only with amazing art and music, lighting MOCA up in the dark. Starting at 9pm, come play with artist-led interactive installations and activities on the ground floor. Dance among art with beats by DJ Lulu Wei on our blacklight dance floor.

This party is presented with the exhibition 'An Index' which features 24 artists from the inaugural Akin Studio Program. An Index makes visible the labours of artistic creation through an open and honest charting of the processes, challenges, delights, and failures of making art in the city. Night Visions credits the importance of social play in creative production. For the first time ever MOCA Goes Dark, and invites you to explore the museum transformed by local artists.

Age of You Opening MOCA Toronto

Age of You: Members’ Preview & Public Opening

MOCA Toronto 158 Sterling Rd., Toronto

It’s about you. As the world shifts from fossil to digital capitalism, you’ve become that precious new resource: data.

You’re increasingly imaginary, invisible and immortal. Do we need a new word to describe this thing that individuality is morphing into?

You’re becoming your Extreme Self.

Extreme Self Panel

During the opening week of "Age of You", we present a conversation that delves into the exhibition’s key concern: data. How have we become our data, and how is our data becoming us? Artist Agnieszka Kurant and two of the exhibition’s curators, Shumon Basar and Douglas Coupland, are joined by moderator Joachim Johnson of HXOUSE to discuss our current and ever-accelerating technological moment.
