About the Gallery

The Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Los Angeles, United States, is MOCA’s expansive former police-car warehouse in Little Tokyo, redesigned by architect Frank Gehry as a raw, industrial venue for large-scale contemporary art, film, and performance. Opened in 1983 as the ‘Temporary Contemporary’, it became a permanent branch of the artist-founded Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles—dedicated to art from 1940 to the present—after a major gift from the David Geffen Foundation in 1996.
