Mark Handforth

Halloween may be over but you can keep the spirit alive by checking out this terrifying (if you are scared of clowns) section of the show Room to Live currently at MOCA Grand Avenue. The show features works from MOCA’s permanent collection with an emphasis on recent acquisitions, including a room of photos by Nan Goldin and the second work pictured above- Desert Sun by Mark Handforth.

MOCA is free tonight (Thursday) and Marnie Weber is discussing her work. RSVP here.

Want to prepare yourself for the room of clowns- here’s a video of the installation.

Don’t forget to look behind the clown who has lost its dog.
