We went to visit Ian and Isabella and stopped by MASS MoCA to take in their shows.
One of them "Ahistory" was showing artifacts of possible historical events.
Says the website:
Maybe these events are true as depicted, maybe not.
You decide.

Says the website:
At a time when the very idea of history seems under siege - by governments grown forgetful, by media which assaults already shortened attention spans with ever tighter news cycles, and by historians themselves, who are provocatively re-interpreting long held truths - artists are exploiting the material of history to shape and give new meaning to the present. Ahistoric Occasion spotlights the growing interest in historic reenactment and revision in contemporary art.
Maybe these events are true as depicted, maybe not.
You decide.
