"Hide and Seek" draws from childhood scavenger games while simultaneously questioning what is considered art and challenging formal constructs of where and when art occurs. Often the most intriguing works of art cause the viewer to reconsider what art truly is. Since the MCA frequently exhibits art that stretches the definition of art, "Hide and Seek" plays off of viewers' expectations by asking not only what is the medium of art but also where it is located since the works are presented not in the galleries but in unexpected and less formal locations. This exhibition is curated by MCA Associate Curator Tricia Van Eck.
