Mass MoCA, Page Four

Almost all of the photos in the galleries can be enlarged by clicking them.

When Sprague Electric Company vacated their factory in 1986, they left a strange and wonderful asset to the museum that was to become Mass MoCA: bricks walls covered with layers of paint, unexplained blemishes and holes, and other beautiful but unintended adornments. I shot most of these photos of the brick walls in the gallery in Building Four just before the first exhibition was installed in the spring of 1999.
