On Saturday night the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland threw a party to inaugurate its prismatic new $27 million building, the culminating event of an opening weekend that saw the institution welcome some 5,000 visitors to its glowing, glass-clad pavilion designed by Farshid Moussavi.

Visitors got a first look at the group exhibition filling MOCA Cleveland’s new building, “Inside Out and From the Ground Up,” which includes a giant pumpkin-like Henrique Oliveira sculptural installation (above) and a several-stories-tall mural by Katharina Grosse.

Also included in the exhibition is one of David Altmejd’s recent Plexiglas box installations, “The Orbit” (2012, above) and Haegue Yang’s “Dress Vehicle – Golden Clowning.” The new pavilion’s central staircase, meanwhile, is distinctly M.C. Escher-esque with its crisscrossing walkways and perspectives. “Inside Out and From the Ground Up” is on view in the new MOCA Cleveland building through February 24, 2013.
