Michael Borders: Connecticut Industry Opens at MoCA CT

The Museum of Contemporary Art Connecticut (MoCA CT) is set to unveil Michael Borders: Connecticut Industry, a significant exhibition showcasing the artist's impressive multi-panel mural. This display is part of the broader Looking for History exhibition and will run from Thursday, August 13, to Sunday, November 15, 2026. The highlight, the Connecticut Industry Mural, consists of eight panels, each measuring five by ten feet, collectively portraying a comprehensive visual narrative of the state's eight counties. Viewed from bottom to top, the mural narrates Connecticut's evolution, starting from its Indigenous roots and colonial beginnings to its industrial growth and technological advancements. While the announcement outlines Borders' creative process, it does not elaborate on the specific techniques used. This exhibition emphasizes regional history and industry through a contemporary artistic perspective at a prominent institution in Connecticut.
