Opening Fri 1/13 @ 5PM
“The rust belt region is full of reminders of a more prosperous past. A significant loss of manufacturing jobs coupled with massive population decline, eroding infrastructure and political corruption have left the region ravaged and depressed. Cities like Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Youngstown, Akron, Gary, Detroit, and Flint have all experienced the ‘shrinking city’ phenomenon with mixed results.”
And don’t we know it. Our cities are crumbling, shrinking, changing… Hence, EVERYTHING IS TEMPORARY. Dave Desdimone and Ron Copeland spent four years exploring abandoned factories, steel mills and the like and have much to show for it. Don’t miss Temporary: Photography, Installation and Design Inspired by Post Industrial America @ Studio 2091 Mothersbaugh Roos. On view through Sat 1/28.
