Brian Edmonds interviews painter Karl Bielik about the Terrace Annual, an outdoor exhibition in London.

Edmonds writes that: "Over the last seven years 215 different artists have shown over 400 pieces of work in this now transformed, former wasteland. Exposed to the elements the works have shifted, faded, broken, rotted, remained and in some cases, disappeared. This year 80 artists have added new work to this unique yearly one day only show." The show is unique in that the work remains outdoors, exposed to the elements. Curator Bielik comments: "Work gets installed over pieces that have disappeared, work falls off the walls and is then installed in a different location, photographs fade quickly and they end up being white rectangles on the wall."
