More DescriptionSterling Allen's project Our New Room is a series of temporary site-specific installations in unsanctioned spaces that address some of the issues inherent in thinking about objects, site, sculpture, and photography. Allen scouts locations of abandoned spaces and installs his own momentary exhibition, at times experienced only by himself. Allen's documentation offers the viewer a glimpse into the lives of the objects he makes, collects, and remakes-and installs, deinstalls, and reinstalls. While not an artist book in the formal sense, the individual sculptures and their various groupings only exist through this photography, and are joined together only in this publication.This body of work is presented alongside a feature essay by art historian Sarah Hamill, a sequence of poems by Christopher Rey Pérez, a short essay by Emily Lee, and an interview conducted by fellow artist Ian Pedigo.
