Pleasure Point: Celebrating 25 Years of Contemporary Collectors May 8, 2010

Twenty-five years ago, a handful of passionate collectors began a donor group supporting acquisitions at MCASD. The Contemporary Collectors have flourished in the intervening decades and were joined 10 years ago by a second group, the International Collectors. 'Pleasure Point' will celebrate the achievements of these two support groups by presenting major highlights of the acquisitions they have made possible during the past 25 years. These include Tony Oursler's confrontational video installation, 'Don't Look at Me' (1994); Doris Salcedo's untitled, 'concrete-impregnated armoire' (1995); and one of the most ambitious works ever acquired by the museum, Nancy Rubins' exuberant site-specific installation 'Pleasure Point' (2006).
