It's where you'll find "Faith, Hope and Charity," an installation in MOCA's lobby of day-glo-colored prints in which C.R. Stecyk III, better known as Craig Stecyk, pays homage to the city's first subdivision. Stecyk came of age during Los Angeles' often ruthless mid-century modernization - an era of freeway building, urban renewal and gentrification that saw neighborhoods, micro-cultures and their artifacts buried and displaced.
