Catalog Title: Genevieve, A Genevieve Arnold Retrospective
Author: Susan Krane
Pub Date: 2007
Number of color plates: 10
Pages: 21
Price: $10
Curated by Rebecca Dimling Cochran, this exhibition features the work of
Georgia artist Genevieve Arnold, a major figure in Georgia's arts community, not only as an artist, but
as a curator, arts administrator, a dedicated supporter of contemporary arts, and a champion of the artists
that reside throughout the state. In its first foray into a major retrospective, MOCA GA seeks to pay tribute
to the significant contribution of the life and work of this Georgia artist by mounting a major retrospective
of her 55-year career. Through these decades her work and her conversations about art explored the most
current in contemporary art issues. Art was Genevieve Arnold's life. Her paintings and drawings were very
personal responses to her many travels, her life long experiences, and her keen intellect.
Catalog Title: Rocio Rodriguez: parallels
Author: Lilly Wei
Pub Date: 2006
Number of color plates: 9
Pages: 19
Price: $10
This one-person
exhibition will consist of large scale paintings and works on paper by
Atlanta based artist Rocío Rodríguez. The work that will be featured in
the exhibition explores imagery that fluctuates between abstraction and
representation, the concrete and the abstract, the ambiguous and the
suggestive. Rodríguez says of this work, "I am attempting to create a
world in painting that very much parallels our experience in everyday
reality. That is, juxtaposing conflicting yet connected systems. Our lives
are a confluence of chaotic and ordered experiences that we perceive on
various planes---- intellectually, emotionally, or perceptually. I feel
that painting, on some level, can parallel the complexity of this
dynamic".

Catalog Title: Cheryl Goldsleger: utopia
Author: Rex Weil
Pub Date: 2003
Number of color plates: 10
Pages: 13
Price: $8
The mixed-media paintings in this exhibition are based on blueprints
and renderings of female architects of varying degrees of renown, beginning with the first published
drawing (1878) by a female architect, Margaret Hicks, and concluding with the late 20th-century
designs of Gae Aulenti and Margreet Duinker. Derived from the Greek word for "no place," the exhibition's
title refers to architectural proposals that have developed out of the desire to create ideal spaces
for people to inhabit. Included here are plans for private dwellings with a shared kitchen and laundry
building, a solar home, a worker's housing development and communal housing that is spacious and flexible.
Catalog Title: Color,
Culture, Complexity
Author: Dan R. Talley
Pub Date: 2002
Number of color plates: 19
Pages: 37
Price: $10
Primarily of African and
European descent, the artists in this exhibit work in a variety of mediums
and styles to grapple with the charged issues that have shaped racial
discourse in this country, especially in the last half of the 20th
century. The exhibition is intentionally eclectic, drawing its strength
not from a single curatorial premise that is illustrated and reiterated by
a number of artists, but by a broad cultural question that is answered by
a sampling of artists through a wide range of responses.
Catalog Title: transitions
Author: Annette Cone-Skelton
Pub Date: 2002
Number of color plates: 6
Pages: 18
Price: $5

The exhibition includes the artists' work from the collection, alongside
new work, demonstrating their transitions. Artists included are Amalia
Amaki, Benny Andrews, Linda Armstrong, Philip Carpenter, E.K. Huckaby and

remain constant for each of them, their experimentation with materials and
the evolution of their personal images.

Catalog Title: Martin Emanuel: Sculpture
Authors: Catherine Howett and John Howett
Pub Date: 2002
Number of color plates: 7
Pages: 7
Price: $10
Sculpture was MOCA GA's inaugural exhibition. It
allowed Martin Emanuel the opportunity to show some of his most creative
and original three-dimensional works. All built on the museum's premises,
the sculptures in this exhibition show Emanuel's interest in anthropology
and in turning intellectual notions into physical creations. The works
here are inspired by the story of a young Pakistani boy, Iqbal Masih, who
was singled out and murdered by officials who wanted to end labor
protesting in Iqbal's area.
