About the exhibit

A love letter to craftsmanship

Out of print (adj.): no longer made. Hard to find. Worth holding on to.

Every piece in this show is something the world stopped making, or a place Wi-Fi hasn't quite found yet. Hand-painted lettering that took a steady brush and a whole afternoon. Real neon, bent by hand into fine script. A gas pump still counting in cents per gallon. A payphone waiting on one more quarter. An art deco tower from a time when even skyscrapers dressed up for the occasion. A destroyer headed for faraway wars. Alongside them are a few places so far off the grid that the signal gave up looking, from a quiet forest in the French countryside to a line of gondolas climbing an Austrian glacier.

Out of Print is a love letter to craftsmanship, patience, and the kind of detail that used to come standard. They don't make them like this anymore.

— Christopher McGauran
