loop // An Exhibition of New Media Works Opening Reception

The first medium-specific exhibition of its kind at MoCADA, this selection of new works will include short looped sound and video installations, as well as weekly screenings of feature length work within the main gallery space.

loop will feature the works of acclaimed artists Mendi + Keith Obadike, Kevin Jerome Everson, John Akomfrah, Edward Bland, and Sun Ra alongside  emerging artists Jodie Lyn-Kee-Chow, Legacy Russell, O’Neil Lawrence, Akousa Adoma, Jonas Carpignano, Pocas Pascoal and Wilmer Wilson IV. These single and multiple channel video works, narrative films, documentaries, and soundscapes rely on the recurrence of visual and sonic themes to explore contemporary social, political and aesthetic concerns. The larger project of loop, is to examine the role of video and sound both as means of creation and distribution in our current moment of cultural production and contemporary art practice.
