MOMENTS IN TIME

As part of MOCA Jacksonville's rotating collection exhibitions, MOMENTS IN TIME: Defining Moments in the History of Photography offers an overview of the photographic holdings of the museum. MOCA's photography collection represents a significant portion of the museum's permanent collection, totaling more than 250 objects. Tracing an historical arc, the exhibition explores defining moments in the history of the medium, including the early-20th century, with the groudbreaking contributions to the art form by artists such as Imogene Cunningham, Edward Curtis, André Kertész, and Edward Weston; the 1970s, as another defining decade when photography transformed itself into a contemporary art form; and through to our time, when digital formats and computer enhanced images, and stylistic diversity, have become the norm. The selection from the MOCA collection will be complemented by works from local collectors and the Sondra Gilman and Celso Gonzalez-Falla collection.
