Description
One of the buildings on the campus of MassMoCa, Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art in North Adams, Massachusetts, USA. This sprawling complex of industrial buildings and mills had a history that began with manufacturing in the 1700s. In later decades it became a textile printing mill and then an electronics company that made everything from bomb guidance systems during WWII to Gemini launch systems in the early space race. After the complex went downhill, Williams College of Art Director Thomas Krens (later Director of the Guggenheim Museum) approached the mayor of North Adams to discuss using the complex to exhibit large contemporary art installations that were way too large for traditional art museums. It evolved into its present state showing astounding huge works of art along with ever changing performance art as well. Well worth a visit!
