One of my favorite museums is the Mass MOCA in North Adams, MA. When I was living in New York, I would visit almost once a year. Another good reason to go there is the yearly Williamstown Theater Festival. Just remember to book accommodation and tickets for the show early. And last but not least the Berkshires with its softly rolling hills is just beautiful.
What’s so special about Mass MOCA? It’s huge. There is so much space. The huge factory halls are just asking for big installations like Cai Guo Qiang‘s exploding car (Inopportune Stage One). I think the entire installation is more than 100m (300feet) long. Not sure if the images can somehow give a feeling of the real size.
Not as big is the installation of shot tigers called Inopportune Stage Two. It’s rather weird to walk through this hall of jumping and dying tigers.
Finally, here is a close up. Poor tiger, killed by so many arrows. I guess I wouldn’t want to be this guy.
