ST. LOUIS LANDMARKS ASSOCIATION ANNOUNCES A NEW
PHOTOGRAPHY EXHIBITION:
EMPTY HALLS, SILENT CLASSROOMS


St. Louis, Missouri, September 14, 2017 - Today, the St. Louis Landmarks Association announces a new exhibition entitled “Empty Halls, Silent Classrooms”. The exhibition opens with a reception Wednesday, September 20, 2017, 5:30 pm - 8:00 pm. The evening will include a brief presentation by Walker Gaffney the Director of Real Estate at the St. Louis Public Schools and photographers. Light refreshments will be served. The location is the Landmarks Association of St. Louis, 911 Washington Avenue, Suite 101, 63101. The exhibition continues through Monday February 26, 2018.

About the Exhibition
An expanded version of ”Empty Halls, Silent Classrooms”, this exhibition features 50 additional photographs by 14 photographers. The photographers are donating 25% of their proceeds directly to the Landmarks Association.

In 2015 the St. Louis Public School district held tours of 30 schools that had been closed due to declining enrollment. The goal was to find new owners who would redevelop and reuse them. The St. Louis Public Schools Building Revitalization Collaborative is marketing the schools to educators, community groups and developers. Several schools have been successfully converted to market-rate housing, some have been sold to churches and business, but many continue to stand vacant and waiting for new school spirit.

Community leaders, politicians, church leaders, developers, teachers, alumni, neighbors and photographers explored interesting classrooms, offices, libraries, gymnasiums, theaters, swimming pools and boiler rooms. The schools were exquisitely designed by renowned architects and built by master craftsmen to last using fine materials. The photographs document elaborate architectural features and the stunning chaos of peeling paint, collapsed ceilings, falling plaster, and broken glass.


About the Landmarks Association
Landmarks Association of St. Louis, Inc. is a public, not-for-profit organization. Incorporated in
1959, its mission is to preserve, enhance, and promote St. Louis’ architectural heritage and to encourage sound planning and good contemporary design.

In the spring of 2015 the St. Louis Public School district scheduled public open house of over 30 closed schools that had fallen into disrepair in the hopes that the schools could be redeveloped and re-purposed. Local photographers descended upon the neglected, century old schools and spent a glorious spring photographing the beautiful chaos of cracked walls, peeling paint, mold, glass shards and dead animals. It is against this abandoned backdrop that eight photographers explored empty buildings and captured the emotive power of shuttered schools. The schools were looted, vandalized, thieves removed copper wiring and the freeze thaw cycle left many schools devastated.

. The architectural grandeur of turn of the century schools in ruins is heartbreaking and forces the viewer to reflect upon the emotional history of the building and the city that surrounds it. Back-to-school season is taking on new meaning in St. Louis as "Empty Halls, Silent Classrooms" photography exhibit opens one week before school starts. This powerful exhibit represents a physical manifestation of something that has gone horribly wrong. The strange sense of stillness in "Empty Halls, Silent Classrooms" offers compelling shapes in broken glass and unexpected intersections of shadow and light.

St. Louis Public Schools Building Revitalization Collaborative have offered many of these school properties for sale. The concept of converting buildings that were once liabilities into market-rate properties has been successful. Many of the unique scholastic shells designed by W.B. Ittner with their arched windows, high ceilings and high quality brick masonry are now affordable living spaces.

“Empty Halls, Silent Classrooms” includes works by Jackie Johnson, Talia Long ,Amy Huslage, Ben Banet , Dave Adams, Ann Chartrand, Ann Aurbach, Joel Jablonski, Elly Smith, Mark Abeln and Jane Linders.
