Allen Street Art invites the community to experience
Decay Cycle, an immersive installation by queer multimedia artist Seth Brauchler, exploring the
beauty of seasons, decay, and renewal.
While Allen Street Art is best known for its exhibitions and community-centered shows, this
show will be an exploration of new territory where the walls become part of the installation,
inviting visitors to step inside Brauchler’s world. It’s a unique opportunity to experience the
gallery in a new way — one that promises to engage and inspire.
Brauchler’s work delves into themes of marginalization, liminality, and transformation,
challenging viewers to reconsider their relationship with the natural and urban environments
around them.
“Where is the line between the natural and the artificial? The closer you look, the harder it is to
find. Look at the juxtaposition of the wild beauty of growing things and the creative exuberance
of the street artist, and it drives home our place in the city’s ecosystem. Not some alien other,
separate and apart, but clever and powerful animals that shape the habitats around us but do not
control them.”
