This Old Cursed Home — Dog Eat Dog Houses

This Old Cursed Home (RIP)
Foam, plaster, frosted mylar, binder’s board, fake plants, lamps, paint

2024

Real estate value: $1,300,000 (building)
A (mostly) loving recreation of the artists’ former shared home, this work represents a staple of Boston housing: the multi-family home. While effective for housing several people with a small footprint, these types of homes have faced zoning issues over the past few years, slowly making them an iconic relic.
Many of these homes have fallen into relative disrepair with old plumbing and peeling paint, yet landlords are still able to charge upwards of $2,000 a month in rent per unit, while contributing minimally to upkeep or upgrades.

The artists were forced to evacuate this house due to a fire in February 2024. All units are currently vacant. RIP (Repairs in Progress).
