Cleared by the Cleveland Trust Company

Interestingly, the Cleveland Trust Co. Building is almost right across from this cheque/ check here, which was settled by the trust company on October 15, 1959. Very obviously, the artist has specially chosen and placed this old check/ cheque at the front of the gallery.

I came across this art gallery entirely by accident. Formerly the location of H. W. Beattie & Co., now it's the W. (William) Rupnik Gallery. I initially thought someone has ransacked the office, as you can see the overturned and broken desk, typewriter, decoration, office supplies and equipment, with papers and documents strewn all over the place. Upon closer examination, I realised this is a special art exhibit.

 

Later, I learnt that this is an art exhibit by photographer Brandon P. Davis, called Ruins, Relics and Revealations, and is about urban blight in the Rust Belt. The exhibition happened between August 11 and 31, 2012.
