About the Exhibit

Annotated Architectures: Cycles of the Urban Still Life presents a compressed impression of post-industrial space, drawing on processes of development practices to reconfigure an understanding of the city as an interdependent set of structures.

The work gestures to the deeply interconnected and globalised networks that cities depend on to function, and implicates our collective involvement within the precarious systems that brought about contemporary North American life. The buildings become edges, peripheries, surfaces, collections of components that indicate the frameworks and rough outlines that shape and reflect human behaviour within their confines.
