October 2010

A tiny version of Divine Decline was produced by hand by the Author in a very small edition. It was  shown at a Book Launch in the White Heat Exhibition at Kaleid Gallery, 23-25 Redchurch St, London E2 7DJ

A review written by Kasia Wlaszczyk and published in The Blue Note Book: Journal for Artists' Books Volume 5: no. 1, October 2010. The exhibition was curated at KALEID in Shoreditch between 2nd-27th June 2010.

"History and heritage also play integral roles in Andrew Pegram’s work Divine Decline, a collection of small scale photographs of buildings that despite their architectural and historical value are left abandoned and un-restored. Through a neo-romantic portrayal of the passage of time, Pegram, a contemporary photographer, creates, much in the vein of Foucault, a heterotopia. In his work the buildings are like cemeteries, physically disseminated throughout London and the everyday while simultaneously occupying a more ambiguous space of absence. If the city in its skyscraping glory was the embodiment of the modern, then Pegram’s phantom buildings seem to define our post-modern age of ruptures and dissemination."
