OFLUXO

“Annex at Swamp Rd.” was held at an abandoned industrial compound, at the end of a rail-trail that passes over a local witch’s grave. The factory, suitably located on Swamp Road, was known for gross environmental disregard, inadequate working conditions, an explosion that killed a company worker in 1987. Since going bankrupt and shutting its doors, the property has sat abandoned, and like most neglected sites of industrial ruin, is slowly transforming, offering a view onto the industrial past alongside nature’s reclamation. All artists in the exhibition were chosen because they create objects of a cryptic, fabled nature, works that reflect—yet counter—the brutal, poisoned civilization in which they are installed.
