It was founded by artists in 1974 and has been housed since 1976 in a historic school building. The facility includes nine exhibition galleries\, working studios for twelve artists\, and two classrooms. \nAbout the Exhibitions\nLaunched in 2019\, Assembly is the Museum of Contemporary Art Arlington’s biennial exhibition program\, which highlights the material and conceptual trends being explored by contemporary artists in the present moment. The artists in Assembly 2022: Time and Attention demonstrate a deep commitment to process and craft\, which is channeled through materials and into research. Through these carefully considered approaches\, they are creating work that speaks to the present moment in ways that feel both urgent and timeless. In what feels like a moment of ongoing\, even perpetual\, crisis they bring this focused approach to issues that are fundamental to contemporary American life\, including questions of identity\, history\, immigration\, place\, and belonging. \nLet Them Kids Be Kids\, a solo exhibition by MoCA Arlington resident artist Lex Mari\, uses the playground as a framework with which to examine the joys of Black childhood and the ways in which issues of race and equity are inscribed on the site. Employing images from her personal life to examine these ideas\, Lex Marie’s newest paintings and installations address the issue of adultification bias as she makes the case that all children have a right to innocence. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nImages: \n\n\n\n\nMandy Cano Villalobos\, Bluer Skies for Brazen Hips\, 2022\, Installation view from Assembly 2022: Time & Attention at MoCA Arlington.
