The Museum of Contemporary Art Toronto (MOCA) invites you to bring your curiosity for its dynamic fall 2024 programming, running from Sept. 8, 2024, to Jan. 26, 2025. This season promises a captivating mix of exhibitions that merge interdisciplinary art, storytelling, and social commentary.
Suspended and spinning in the Price Family Community Gallery on the ground floor are newly commissioned works by Vancouver-based artist Michael Nicoll Yahgulanaas, who created and popularized the graphic style of Haida-manga, a mixture of North Pacific Indigenous narratives and frame lines and Japanese cartooning. Yahgulanaas’s site-specific Daalkaatlii Diaries is composed of 26 vibrant paintings that adjoin to form the literary and physical structure of an accordion sketchbook. Yahgulanaas’s extraordinary painterly gesture can be interpreted as a part mural, part book, part screen. Welcoming audiences into the space are Flesh Tones, a pair of new large experimental kinetic sculptures that expand Yahgulanaas’s presentation and deepen his practice as a storyteller.
