Two days prior to the demolition of the wreck of a building on the northwest corner of Parc and Van Horne — a space that’s been the setting for many photo and film shoots in recent years — artist Aaron Zak mounted an exhibition of paintings and murals on its rooftop, titled Support the Moon. He’s shared photos of his work and the demolition, capturing what he calls a “sinking monument to the secret lives afforded by urban decay in this city.”
