Résumé:
The Public Collectors project, operated by Marc Fischer since 2007, encourages collectors of material culture — the kind that most museums won’t collect or exhibit — to “open” their collections to the public. Fischer’s perspective is intrinsically linked to his participation in underground punk and metal scenes in the 1980s, a sensibility that also inflects his practice as one-third of the celebrated artist collective Temporary Services. This collection meanders from paper ephemera to photography — including a visual tour of Chicago’s famed Swap-O-Rama. The contents also include adult Mexican comic books and postcards from outsider artist John Rininger. This publication is paired with documentation of the artist’s contribution to the 2014 Whitney Biennial plus an interview with punk ephemera collector Stephen Perkins, exploring the politics of collecting materials with little or no conventional cultural value.

Author Harry Skrdla gives a guided tour of these structures at their peak of popularity juxtaposed with their current state. Structures discussed include the infamous Eastern State Penitentiary and Bethlehem Steel factory in Pennsylvania, the Packard Motors Plant and Book-Cadillac Hotel in Detroit, and Philip Johnson's New York State Pavilion from the 1964/65 World's Fair. There is the entire town of Centralia, Pennsylvania, where a trash fire set inside an old mine in 1962 morphed into an underground inferno that incinerated the town from underneath; more than forty years later, the subterranean fire still rages. The town is empty now, just as the many other abandoned places in this chronicle.
