Postcards from Boston

Mass MOCA

0 #

Mass MOCA is the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art. It’s over in a place called North Adams which is an old industrial town north of the Berkshires and about 2 hours west of Boston. It’s a bit like the Tate Modern in that it’s in an old converted factory. They feature a rolling programme of exhibitions (right now Sol Lewitt), some permanent stuff and a rather nice caff. I loved the buildings as they reminded me of Wigan. All those grand old Victorian brick cotton mills and factories remain impressive so many years later, with their textured brick and peeling paintwork. So, these few photos are about decay and age and gritty urban history.
