How MMoCA Seeks To Rebuild Community Trust Through Art
The Madison Museum of Contemporary Art wants to give the community a behind-the-scenes look at some of its largest, and rarely exhibited artwork. A new exhibit titled Snapshots invites visitors to see the inner workings of maintaining the museum’s permanent collection every Thursday and Friday in September. The exhibition is an attempt to bring more transparency to the museum’s processes after it faced massive community backlash in 2022 for a series of missteps that occurred during the Wisconsin Triennial.
Host Bianca Martin sat down with the museum’s new Gabriele Haberland Director Paul Baker Prindle to get the details on the exhibit and how the museum hopes to move forward from controversy.
