MOCA Toronto reopened Sunday, Oct 4, 2026, after its installation closure, bringing three presentations into the museum for the fall season: Bharti Kher’s Bones, Delcy Morelos’s Ombligo and Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s Light of the Heavens.
All three run through Feb 14, 2027. The reopening gives visitors a programme spread through the building, from Kher’s sculpture and bindi works on Floors 1 and 3 to Morelos’s new site-specific installation on Floor 2 and Glenn-Copeland’s music in the South Stairwell.
What’s on view at MOCA this fall
Bones brings together work from the past 15 years with new sculptures. MOCA says Kher uses platforms as both support structures and ways of directing visitors through the exhibition, alongside body casts, architectural forms and bindi-based works. The presentation occupies the Price Family Community Gallery and Lindy Green Forum on Floor 1 as well as Floor 3.
Morelos’s Ombligo is a commission made for MOCA. The Bogotá-based Colombian artist has created a large suspended form from sisal rope treated with soil and corn roots harvested in Toronto. The work follows the contours of a womb; MOCA frames the installation around ideas including sustenance, ritual, migration, extraction and restoration.
The Canadian component is especially visible in the South Stairwell, where Beverly Glenn-Copeland’s Light of the Heavens plays as a looped sound work. MOCA identifies the track as a recently recovered song from around 1986, created during the same period as Keyboard Fantasies. Presented as part of the museum’s South Stairwell Sound Series, it brings the Canadian singer and composer into a season otherwise led by major site-specific projects from Kher and Morelos.
