I've been to MOCA several times in the past few years and the museum seems to always have the same exact select few artists and pieces showcased..they really need to change up the permanent collection because it might be fun the first time (especially for tourists) but a second visit is generally not worth the trip. LA is a huge city with alot of amazing talent and I don't think MOCA really represents that. If you want to see some great young artists check out the smaller galleries, pick up a copy of the LA Weekly and you'd probably find alot more interesting galleries and exhibits
When I lived near San Francisco, I used to go to MOMA monthly. Now that I live in LA, I go to MOCA. It's a great museum, and much easier to get around than the Getty.
