Transmute

About the Exhibition

Independent art critic and curator Joshua Decter has been invited by the MCA to create the second of four annual multimedia projects that utilize the MCA's Collection. Transmute consists of two parts: an exhibition of artworks, and two touch-screen computer kiosks, which serve as an interactive component of the exhibition. In the spring, the Museum will invite the public to submit images that respond to an artwork in the Collection. Using the kiosks, visitors will then be able to assemble an artwork incorporating images submitted by the public. The kiosks will also allow visitors to become virtual curators and to consider how an exhibition is arranged, how they might organize their own ideas, and how artworks look in different arrangements by using a touch-screen monitor at the computer terminal. An online component of the project will also be launched on the MCA website.
