For Closure

Michael Aberman and Karl Zinsmaster


Theme: A house without a home. Giving a personal face to the housing market crash.


While there are many vacated, foreclosed and hopelessly unsellable houses on the market right now, the Blue House has it's own specific problems. It cannot be inhabited, stay where it is, or be torn down. It is, in a sense, a very "special needs child" among the many "children" left behind by our current housing crisis.

We would like to illuminate the paradoxical state of our homeless house.

"A discreet gesture will give a new meaning to an existing place object or situation reinventing is possibilities within the public sphere."
