FREE MOCA Cleveland's new exhibition, Dark Stars, considers time as subject in contemporary art, exploring how objects and images bring the past into the present. At 6pm, the exhibition will open to the public. At 7pm, exhibition curator Rose Bouthillier will lead a discussion of the show and an interview with Michael Byron, one of the featured artists. Be present as we reflect on the past and consider the future through dialogue and art.

Receive 1/2 price admission to MOCA on Sunday, May 5 when you present your ticket to the talk. MOCA Cleveland and the Cleveland Museum of Art proudly present Janet Cardiff. Don't miss this rare opportunity to join the artist in person as she discusses her dramatic, dimensional, uncanny work. Cardiffâs sensitive yet experimental approach to art-making has garnered international acclaim. The Paradise Institute, a 17-seat movie theater by Cardiff and George Bures Miller that is currently on view at MOCA Cleveland, won the Venice Biennale Special Prize when it was unveiled in 2001. TheForty Part Motet (2001), a 40-speaker sound work on view at the CMA from May 4âJune 8, is a stunning example of Cardiffâs pioneering approach to audio-based installations. MORE

THOUGHTS ON THOUGHT, ORGANIZED
It's a truism that art is information. It's general information that art produces knowledge. And it's common knowledge that art is an idea.
But what about thought? Can art think? And what is the relation between thinking and practice? For her talk, Sarah Demeuse takes Alfred North Whitehead's 1916 essay "The Organization of Thought" as catalyst.MORE
