SUSTAINED DECAY

ANDY VOGT & JOSHUA CHURCHILL
Sustained Decay
an Installation in the Adobe Books Backroom Gallery
Curated by Devon Bella

Exhibition dates: July 16 – August 16, 2009

For the exhibition, Sustained Decay, artists Andy Vogt and Joshua Churchill intervene in the upcoming renovation and recent expansion of the Adobe Books Backroom Gallery. Renewal comes to a momentary halt, where both Vogt and Churchill reflect on the site's architecture and environment, sustaining the tension between progress and decay. Their respective practices have been integrated directly into the gallery space and its emerging boundaries, evoking an understanding of the time and history the Backroom Gallery continues to endure.
