    During the construction of its permanent building on Bunker Hill, and until May 1986, The Museum of Contemporary Art will present a series of exhibitions and performing arts programs called The Temporary Contemporary. Two vast industrial warehouses in downtown Los Angeles have provided the Museum an opportunity to develop and present to the public its first programs, and Available Light, an original collaborative performance, is among the first projects inaugurating The Temporary Contemporary. This commissioned project, involving as it does new work by a group of artists, represents the beginning of the Museums commitment to serve a multiplicity of audiences, and to respond to and support the work of the international community of artists--Adapted from foreword, page 3.
