The Peacock Room


You will need to click on this image to see it in more detail.  It is part of a room constructed at Mass MoCA by the artist Darren Waterson.  He has re-imagined a room designed by James McNeil Whistler, known as The Peacock Room, only this room is seen as a deteriorating ruin.  It was just stunning to enter into this room at the museum, and see what a mess it is. But it is a captivating mess.  Just look at how everything is falling apart.  I spent a lot of time here, examining it in detail.  You should Google Whistler, and the Peacock Room, so that you can see what the original room looks like .  What a brilliant work of art this is!
