As you spend time in the space, you start to notice the prosaic details of the dissected house: a strip of cornice board, the brass strike plate of a door, a slice of window frame with sash cord rollers. The longer you linger, the more you see. Art League director Debbie McNulty advises that if you want to crawl through the whole piece, you really ought to start at the small end. "That way," she says, "you don't come out on your head."
Demolition will likely take place sometime in June, and visitors have been perplexed and horrified upon discovering that the work will be destroyed. But for the artists, its ephemerality is part the appeal. They're looking forward to the next project. So if you've got an old building on your hands now you know who to contact.
