Dream Home Resource Center, Olga Koumoundouros’s most recent investigation of home ownership, will be on display at the Hammer Museum in Westwood from June 21 through August 18.
Koumoundouros “addresses the immateriality of real estate transactions and the shift from home as emblem of the American dream to house as commodity,” said a Hammer press release.
Inspired in part by the Hammer’s exhibition “A Quincy Jones: Building for Better Living” and Jones’s vision of modern architecture, Koumoundouros fast-forwards more than half a century to the present, a moment filled with far less optimism about housing in the United States.
During the exhibition, housing specialists, activists, and citizens invested in and affected by issues surrounding home ownership and the recent economic downturn will set up temporary offices in the gallery.
