Would there be any objection to changing the order of the last two text sections, so the display section is above the legal controversy section? Given the display section will be applicable for 25 years (thru 2033) while the controversy section is a thing of the past, it would seem logical to have the most relevant information above historical recounts of controversies.

Some of the material being added about exhibits sounds more like a frothy catalog than an encyclopedia article. (e.g., "As a conceptual artist Starling places a great deal of importance in the process of art making and an overall concept or idea uniting the piece. ") After the stuff is added, it will need to be trimmed. - DavidWBrooks ( talk) 21:59, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
MoCA has hosted exhibits that aren't listed here; the article seems to have a very random choice about which ones are mentioned with cut-and-pasted verbiage from the website. We do not want to list every one of them - we're not a corporate history - so which should we show? If we don't have any reasonable criteria, let's just toss them all. - DavidWBrooks ( talk) 01:41, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello! I am new to editing Wikipedia but I worked at MASS MoCA as the Archive Intern from January to August 2012. I agree with DavidWBrooks that the Past Exhibitions section is unnecessary and should be tossed out. In addition, the Ongoing Exhibitions section is outdated. I propose rewriting the page to include a section on Visual Arts and a section on Performing Arts (these are the categories the museum uses, they basically split resources 50/50). The Visual Arts section would include brief information about the methodology of the museum and the space of the galleries and then subsections on the long-term exhibits (Sol LeWitt, Tree Logic, and the seasonal works in the Speed Way). The Performing Arts section would include information about the performing arts spaces and programs and then subsections of the annual festivals (Solid Sound, Bang on a Can, and Fresh Grass). I will begin writing for these sections, I will try to wait for a response before making these changes! AElizabethBerg ( talk) 21:29, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
I have removed several listing in the 'ongoing exhibits' section that, according to the text, ended in the past few months. - DavidWBrooks ( talk) 16:50, 29 May 2017 (UTC)

Is the long list of past and present exhibitions really necessary? It seems like trivial information to me and I highly doubt that someone would be reading this article to find out about past Mass MoCA exhibitions. GeorgeWashingtoe ( talk) 02:23, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
