Max Estenger 1991-2016 Museum of Contemporary Art Tucson February 13-May 29, 2016

I had the honor of having a mid-career survey at the The Museum of Contemporary Art in Tucson in their Great Hall (the former headquarters for the Tuscon Fire Department). It was one of the greatest experiences of my life--from my 9 day residency and install, to my talk, to the opening reception to the exhibition itself. Best of all was working with the Museum staff on all the different facets of the show. It is a remarkable place and I am most grateful to the incomparable Jocko Weyland who curated the show and wrote a great catalogue essay and the amazing graciousness of the Director of the Museum Board Courtney Johnson.  

Catalog is available from MOCA Tucson. Here is a pdf:
