At first glance, Maureen Gallace's paintings appear to be quiet, simple depictions of New England cottages, diversified mostly by the seasons of the year. However, while her subjects are recognizable, even quintessentially American, they are not entirely comforting.

Dressed in 1930s fashions, Matthew Barney and the athlete, model, and actress Aimee Mullins stand back-to-back in the Cloud Club [2003.24.1.a-d] nightclub itself.

American sculptor Richard Serra appears here as the older master architect of the Chrysler building whom the apprentice architect, played by Barney himself in his film Cremaster 3, must conquer in order to achieve his own identity.

The Cloud Club resembles a nightclub piano in the Cloud club bar on the 66th floor of the Chrysler building in New York City, as seen in Barney's film Cremaster 3.
