MOCA Georgia Moves Into Permanent Atlanta Home

Arts coverage spans calls to strengthen support for artists and culture workers after the U.S. midterm elections, alongside a review of Marco Baravalle’s critique of the art world’s institutions. A new biography examines Geoffrey Bardon’s role in the beginnings of the Aboriginal painting movement at Papunya and his later hospitalization, where he underwent the harmful deep-sleep therapy exposed by a royal commission. In Atlanta, the Museum of Contemporary Art of Georgia has opened a permanent home at the Goat Farm Arts Center, with galleries, a library, an auditorium and exhibitions featuring Georgia-connected artists. St. Louis-area offerings include comedy and theater performances, a short film built from decades-old footage, and a program of short plays exploring U.S. democracy.
