Filthy Lucre Deinstall

<em><em>Filthy Lucre</em> is constructed as a freestanding shell with a plywood base. It was designed to fit within the available exhibition space at MASS MoCA, a former textile mill</em>.

<em>Teak Lynner of the F|S prep shop traveled to North Adams in early March for the deinstallation of <em>Filthy Lucre</em>. The crew at MASS MoCA takes apart the drop ceiling</em>.

<em>The eerie red glow behind the shutters is from filtered fluorescent lights installed below a translucent scrim panel</em>.

<em>Modular sections of <em>Filthy Lucre</em> come apart and rejoin easily, and the shelving is permanently attached. They are built at 90 percent scale of the Peacock Room</em>.

<em>Darren Waterston’s version of <em>The Princess from the Land of Porcelain</em> fills the space above the mantelpiece. The fireplace is a separate unit that slides into place</em>.

<em>The wall panels of <em>Filthy Lucre</em> are constructed of plywood mounted to a welded aluminum framework. Teak’s photos help with installing the sections at the Sackler Gallery</em>.

<em>Hand-crafted pendant lights are packed for shipment from MASS MoCA to their installation in the Sackler Gallery</em>.
