At MOCA’s Geffen Contemporary in Los Angeles, the Argentine artist is clearing, renovating and reorganising the space to host a series of objects and people travelling from far-flung places such as Sharjah, Istanbul, Rosario, Berlin, Athens, Turin and London. The result is an exhibition-work that speaks of peripatetic identities, diasporas, displacements and rebirths designed for the celebrated museum “of artists for artists”, which Frank Gehry decided to renew in 1983 in a dialogue with Michael Heizer.
