America's #1 Foreclosed City: Las Vegas
New Work by Emily Kennerk
"Emily Kennerk's installation casts a bright, critical light on the real estate collapse that has transformed our city. A twenty-two hour-long video projection pays momentary homage to every foreclosed home in the city in 2009. Photographs appropriated from online images are reproduced on sheer textiles at room-size; the interiors(and houses that surround them) unevenly obfuscated, disintegrating, evaporating. A powdered graphite rubbing traces the exterior wall of a vacant home and like rubbings of tombstones, Kennerk's act of transference and inscription functions here as both memorial and artifact, conflating distances and uniting surfaces."
Through September 18.
