PETER TUNNEY DEBUTS: EXCERPTS FROM THE TAJ MAHAL (THE TRUTH ALWAYS HAPPENS)
In his new show, titled Excerpts from the Taj Mahal (The Truth Always Happens), artist Peter Tunney acts as critic and entertainer mining 1990s American culture. Atlantic City’s now defunct Taj Mahal Hotel and Casino, once a monument of excess is now being dismantled piece by piece and loaded into dumpsters. It has become a symbol of the fragile and ever changing ‘American Dream’. The Taj Mahal, which shut its doors in late 2016, serves as both inspiration and physical medium for Tunney’s upcoming exhibit.
