Knockdown Center is pleased to announce the Ruin Series, a program of exhibitions and artist projects destined for our backyard roofless ruin and adjoining subterranean chamber.

The exposed boiler room structure creates a context for art objects informed by a shifted sense of sacredness, value, and endurance. The force of time is actively eroding anything with a claim to permanence. In this summer series, artists respond to the latent anxiety about the future of our culture and environment, reconsidering appearances and inherent value in the midst of these architectural remains.
