Since 1994 MOCA London has been bringing innovative and exciting work to London audiences and abroad. No formal built space was to be required to mount a series of international exhibitions that incorporated sculpture, video, painting, photography and installation. Projects have been curated for virtual and specific sites. MOCA London colloborate with an ongoing selection of new and established artists.
In January 2004 MOCA opened a project space in South London in the Bellenden Renewal Area to initiate a series of exhibitions that were locally based but global in focus. The Project Space offer artists the possibility of making non-commercial work and developing the projects over various periods of time to suit both the artist and MOCA. This co-operative style of working means that the Project Space has a flexible exhibition structure, and works are in situ when they are ready.
Past exhibitions includes Shedding by Martin Gustavsson and Jan Hietala, 2004, Dominik Lejman, 2005, Hello my name is Jenny by Denise Hawrysio, 2005 and the Ristorante Santo Food Turismo, New Years Eve 2009/2010, where MOCA London was the UK pitstop of the trans European tour of all 21 performance menus designed by Marinetti in his Futurist Cookbook which were being performed by Rochus Aust’s performance collective.
MOCA London invites guest curators for various projects. Past curators has included Koan Jeff Baysa, New York, Alan Yates, London and Kjetil Bjorheim, Norway.
For Supermarket 2011 MOCA London will showcase work by, Roberto Ekholm (artist and guest curator for the project), Stuart Mayes and Cécile Emmanuelle Borra. These three artists represent the ambitions of MOCA London in presenting unique and challenging contemporary work.
