With the all-seeing moon as its central motif, the exhibition invites us to reflect on our relationship to history, memory, and the most pressing questions of our time. Wanda Koop: WHO OWNS THE MOON is on view from April 11 to August 4, 2024, and is accompanied by a catalogue featuring an interview that Mary-Dailey Desmarais, Chief Curator of the MMFA and curator of the exhibition, held with the artist. For this exclusive issue of the M Webzine, we bring you some excerpts from their conversation.
