Profoundly marked by his upbringing in South Africa during the Apartheid era, Kendell Geers’ art often explores issues of social and political justice. BE:LIE:VE, specially commissioned by MOCA for our inaugural exhibition, is one of a number of his neon works that expose literal word plays that urge new ways to consider the complexities and paradoxes of language, power and truth.

For over a decade Nikolaj Bendix Skyum Larsen has been working in a variety of media and materials to create visual responses to challenges within today’s society. Migration and disempowerment are some of his main areas of research. Larsen’s work can be understood as visual anthropology. His film Promised Land, featured in the exhibition BELIEVE follows migrants in Calais, France as they attempt the highly dangerous and near impossible task of getting into England.
