Obsolescence

This catalogue accompanied the exhibition Obsolescence presented by Curious Matter and Art House Productions Gallery, October 18 to November 30, 2014. How do contemporary artists engage with obsolete ideas, materials, processes or technology? Do they infuse the obsolete with something new, or embrace it on its own terms. Is there something to be had from mining what might seem passé? The 39 artists of Obsolescence present alternatives and opinions if not answers to that quandary.
