Convention takes as its premise the predominance of mega cultural events such as conventions, festivals, fairs, expos
and other social gatherings in an international society. In a city such as Miami, where a convention center is continuously
being filled with various social and professional groups, notably Art Basel Miami Beach in the winter, this exhibition
explores the impact of this phenomenon on a city. Convention takes an unconventional, critical and humorous approach
in considering the historical models of world fairs and the latest flourishing of international biennials and contemporary art
fairs in relation to the museum.
Convention is curated by Ruba Katrib, MOCA Assistant Curator.
