Beginning in July, Borderline installed a selection of their work in the gallery space, choosing works that play off each other formally or conceptually. At regular intervals, they will augment or replace what is on view, and invite a handful of Bay Area artists to create, and install, responses to existing work and the space.

Each artist invited created work that responded to the environment and current installation. With the power to rearrange the installation or create extensions and modifications to works, each artist contributed to an ecosystem of collaboration.

Slow Build culminated in a final exhibition, which contained the echoes of amended work and shadows of those that were removed, creating a recognizable through-line of art works. This traceable, and physical, lineage of works illuminated how space and function are mutually defining; interiors are built to serve utility, and practices adjust to their spatial context.

Through this partnership with [working], the mid-Market neighborhood, and Bay Area artists, Borderline activated their mission of engaging with a broadening range of communities to make art more visible, accessible, and meaningful to the greater public.
