Antonia Wright’s project will reflect her background in performance art within the mediums of video, photography and installation to explore the environment of MOCA.  A poet and photographer, Wright introduces social critique into a broad conceptual framework with imagination and conviction. She received an M.F.A. in poetry from the New School University in New York and studied at the International Center of Photography.  Wright was one of the finalists in MOCA’s Optic Nerve XIII film festival in 2011. 

In this second installment of MOCA’s experimental program, Trading Places, South Florida artists will swap their studios for studio spaces in MOCA’s galleries. The program provides the artists with materials, technical assistants and opportunities to interact, respond to and investigate each others’ practices and engage in discussions with the public. Each of the selected artists has reached a critical moment in their career when they can benefit most from the opportunity to work with MOCA’s curatorial and technical staff.

Trading Places II is on view through November 11, 2012.
Trading Places II is made possible by MOCA’s Knight Exhibition Endowment.
