The Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) is presenting the first major museum exhibition of Anri Sala’s videos and photographs in the United States, featuring works from the late 1990s to the present along with photographs and sculptures that explore a dialogue about the interplay of the works with space and time. During the 7 – 9 pm opening, which will take place on December 2nd, members of The Cleveland Orchestra will perform Anri Sala’s original score, A Spurious Emission at 8 pm. For more information visit: www.mocanomi.org.
Two new alternative spaces with special projects by contemporary artists Diango Hernandez and Ronald Moran will be featured during Art|Basel Miami Beach, in North Miami.
Diango Hernandez, Diamonds and Stones: My Education. Diango Hernandez is a Cuban artist living and working in Dusseldorf, Germany. This project is presented by Federico Luger Gallery, Milano, Italy, in collaboration with Alexander & Bonin (New York), Pepe Cobo (Madrid), and Michael Wieshofer (Cologne). The exhibition includes a series of photographic works and an installation. Images used by Cuba’s Ministry of Education distributed to schools under Castro’s regime to promote Cummunist Revolutionary ideals are inserted by Hernandez into diamond cuts and precious stones, thus giving multivalent meanings. Diamonds are hard and almost indestructible stones, just like the ideal of the Communist Revolution. As symbols of luxury diamonds and precious stones provide antithetic images with regards to Communism. The exhibition also includes “Years,†an installation built up of numbers that go from 1959 to 2008, the years Fidel Castro was in power. The numbers are made of rusty bars as a symbol of forgotten promises.

Ronald Moran, Learning the Lesson. Artist Ronald Moran, from el Salvador in collaboration with Pan American Art Projects (Miami) and Klaus Steinmetz Contemporary (San Jose, Costa Rica), presents a site specific installation featuring objects of everyday life which become instruments of domestic violence in the piece’s setting. His works are domestic or familiar spaces covered with white industrial cotton. His goal is to neutralize his subject matter, and to represent the impact of contemporary society’s lack of sensibility towards violence and domestic roles.
