MASS MoCA presents Spatial Poems in three concurrent parts
MASS MoCA is showcasing Spatial Poems, a collaborative exhibition divided into three parts, curated by CEI Fellow Marissa Del Toro alongside guest curators Ninabah Winton and Jamillah Hinson. Featured artists include Cecilia Vicuña, Lola Ayisha Ogbara, and Sam Frésquez. Central to the exhibition are Vicuña’s ‘precarios,’ which are multidisciplinary pieces that incorporate sculptures made from found materials and collective rituals characterized by dissonant sounds. The curators and artists delve into various themes inspired by Vicuña’s work, such as memory, ephemerality, and cyclical repetition. Collectively, these exhibitions can be perceived as a spatial poem or score.
