Base Line of Appraisal
MOCA GA, Atlanta, Georgia
June 29 – August 24, 2019 

Part of the 2018/2019 Working Artist Project, Base Line of Appraisal is an assembly of foundations, constructed of concrete and wood, and arranged schematically alongside structural forms and compositions. Familiar and ubiquitous building materials are positioned in a moment of pause and expectation. While honoring the materiality of our constructed landscapes, this installation reflects the potential inherent in these bare foundations and indeterminate forms, and attempts to open a space of possibility.

Krista Clark draws moments between presence and absence in the historic West End Atlanta neighborhood of Westview. As the city’s sprawl changes the landscape, Westview’s Craftsman bungalows are in constant danger of erasure. As demographics shift, families are displaced, and vibrant homes are replaced by fences, dumpsters, blue tarps, and tools for large-scale construction, if not demolished entirely.
