Members’ Preview: Doris Salcedo

About

As a Member, you play an important role in supporting living artists, new art, and new ideas. Members’ Previews are one of the ways we can show how much we appreciate your support—offering you opportunities to experience the work of cutting-edge artists before our exhibitions open to the public. Members’ Previews also provide a more intimate setting for you to connect with other MCA Members who are just as passionate and curious about contemporary art as you.

All MCA Members are invited to a special preview of

Doris Salcedo.

Using commonplace materials, Doris Salcedo creates visually powerful works that bear witness in startling ways to the political violence of the modern world and prompt viewers to contemplate the importance of remembrance and mourning. The exhibition features all major bodies of work from the artist's 30-year career—most of which have never been shown together before—as well as the US debut of her recent major work Plegaria Muda(2008–10) and her newest body of work, Disremembered (2014).

Take advantage of the intimate Members’ Preview to more fully experience the emotional weight of Salcedo’s work.
