Highly acclaimed, the three exhibitions kicked off MOCCA’s 2012 season offering an array of palatable aesthetic experiences which address a wide spectrum of themes and issues.<\/p>\n

An interesting and exciting beginning to the year, the opening was well attended. Visitors crowded the foyer and spilled out into the yard as they mingled and sampled delicious fare.<\/p>\n

Necropolis, which is in MOCCA’s main gallery space, creates an immersive multi-media experience which allows for visitors to enter in pairs. It is not easy to navigate the narrow corridors with the bluring TV screens on the site.<\/p>\n
