Mark Moskovitz at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Ohio

Mark Moskovitz will be in an exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Ohio (MOCA Cleveland). The show is called side by side. Moskovitz's piece is called Future Perfect (I will have made). The concept is to juxtapose antiquated and primarily obsolete technique with modern materials and technology in order to enhance the idea of objects both pro-actively and retroactively. This non-linear exercise challenges the future with the past and the past with the future. This initial piece in the series features all hand-cut joinery (dovetails, mortise
and tenon, butterfly joints) and is constructed without powertools, glue, screws or other such fasteners. Surfaces are milled with a combination of hand-planing, draw knife, broad axe, and finished with a cabinet scraper. It is made from 100% recycled HDPE Plastic (milk jugs, etc.) and Polyester cord woven in a traditional style commonly associated with caning. The show also includes another Cranbrook Alumni, Barry Underwood, [Photography 1995.]
