It's a conservator's nightmare: unfixed photographs fade; fire and smoke burn a board's surface; abstract projections reveal film leader dowsed in chocolate sauce, ketchup, mayonnaise, and apple juice; dyed canvas bleaches in the sun; Pepto-Bismol and caviar act as printing materials; laundry detergent bottles leak as they balance a surface of peanut butter and charcoal; an artist covers his body with food; objects are molded in plastic. Taking inspiration from Dieter Roth's now legendary exhibition "Staple Cheese (A Race)", "Another Kind of Vapor" presents artists who have experimented with non-traditional materials. Some sculpt, mold, and print with these substances, others conserve marks and stains. Allowed to decay, decompose, or remain in stasis, these objects endure as symbols of impermanence, waste, memory, and time.
