The word obsession seems to have mostly negative connotations, conjuring images of Facebook stalking, Christmas cookie binges, or Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction. But sometimes obsession can be a good thing, particularly in the realm of art. The Museum of Contemporary Art (770 NE 125th St., North Miami) invites you to “Find an Obsession” this Wednesday at its Art Lab. Part of MOCA by Moonlight, Art Lab is a series of roundtable discussions among local artists that aim to spark creativity and exchange. Other Art Lab topics include “Why Make Art?” “Find Direction,” and “Cultivating New Strengths,” but this week’s theme hones in on figuring out what makes artists tick.
