MOCA Toronto

Join us for a very special solo performance by renowned choreographer and dancer Christopher House, presented within Kimsooja’s “Dimensions of a Needle” on Fri May 29 at 7 pm and Sat May 30 at 3 pm.

Nearly three decades after their first collaboration on “Bottari” at Toronto Dance Theatre, House and Kimsooja meet again—this time at MOCA.

Held within the quiet intensity of Kimsooja’s installation “Meta Painting,” this is a rare, intimate experience with limited capacity.

Doors Open Toronto is back at MOCA and on May 23–24 admission is free all weekend!

Experience three floors of art, activities, and drop-in tours—all inside the historic Auto BLDG, once Toronto’s tallest building and a WWII-era aluminium factory.

When it opened over 100 years ago, the Auto BLDG was considered a feat of innovation, using reinforced concrete slabs and mushroom-shaped columns to distribute weight instead of support beams.

Today, it’s home to some of the most exciting contemporary art on view in the city. Join us and experience powerful works by Kimsooja, Sara Cwynar, and Thenjiwe Niki Nkosi’s.
