Richard McCoy describes in his blog on Art21 how he helped install the IMA-organized exhibition, “Hard Truths: The Art of Thornton Dial,” at the Mint Museum in Charlotte, NC. Richard writes: "Working on this show has been one of the best experiences I’ve had in my career, but I was just as excited to be in Charlotte so I could visit Jean Tinguely’s 1991 installation, Cascade, in the lobby of the Carillion office tower. The 40-foot tall work has 15 motors and a dizzying amount of parts and light bulbs all suspended from chains and moving above a small reflecting pool."
