SUMMARY:Five Machines for 2025
DESCRIPTION:A little over a year ago\, a book on the history of mills and early American manufacturing came into the hands of visual artist Mark W. Mulherrin. While the book featured few images\, it was the photographs of water-powered grist mill interiors that captured his imagination. These images became the inspiration for a series of paintings\, and later\, dimensional cardboard works he describes as “2.5D”—blending the physical depth of cardboard with the illusionistic techniques of classical perspective. \nThe five machines currently on view came later. They are based on 19th-century engravings of industrial machinery\, reimagined in painted cardboard. For Mulherrin\, the act of coaxing steel machines out of paper was a compelling challenge. The tension between the materials—ephemeral and fragile paper used to depict heavy\, durable iron—creates what he calls a “wonderful confusion.” Each machine becomes a kind of portrait\, imbued with personality\, function\, and a life of its own. While Mulherrin doesn’t claim to understand the machines’ precise purposes\, he finds them endlessly fascinating from an aesthetic and intuitive standpoint. His admiration for the original machinists and engineers has only deepened through this process. “It’s one thing to make them out of cardboard—challenging\, but not an exact science\,” he says. “To make them for real… I can’t imagine this.” \nAll works are available for purchase. Inquiries can be directed to markmulherrin@gmail.com or Lisa Yordy at the American Precision Museum. 20% of proceeds will be donated to the Museum. \nMark W. Mulherrin is a visual artist based in North Adams\, Massachusetts.

SUMMARY:Attic Finds Sale
DESCRIPTION:Special Hours: 9:00 am – 2:00 for the sale\nWe’re making space for something big—our brand-new education and conference space—and that means it’s time for a serious clean-out! Head up to our Second Floor and explore a trove of surplus tools\, books\, machines\, mechanical parts\, and other antique odds and ends. \nNothing of significant historic value is being sold—just materials that no longer fit our mission or exhibit plans. As part of our Floor 2 the Future renovation\, we’re reducing our collection to focus on what matters most. Now’s your chance to own a piece of the past that didn’t quite make it to the museum floor!
