FOCA Fellowships: Vincent Fecteau, Evan Holloway, Monica Majoli
September 24 – November 19
Opening reception, Saturday, September 23, 7–9 p.m.
In celebration of their 30th year supporting contemporary California art, the Fellows of Contemporary Art for the first time has awarded FOCA Fellowships, unrestricted grants of $10,000 each, to three artists in recognition of their significant contributions to California art. This year’s recipients, Vincent Fecteau, Evan Holloway and Monica Majoli will be celebrated in an exhibition highlighting the development of their work.
The intimacy of Vincent Fecteau’s modestly scaled sculptures created using everyday materials such as foam core, paper, and papier-mâché, evoke architectural models and embrace the imperfections of handmade objects. Evan Holloway’s sculptural work conveys both the playful and intellectually rigorous aspects of art and art making. Through her artistic practice, Monica Majoli has examined the relationship between physicality as expressed through sexuality and the intangible aspects of consciousness and identity. A conversation with these artists and MOCA curator Alma Ruiz will take place at MOCA on Sunday, November 12, 3 p.m.
