Opening reception

Using everyday materials, Carlos Bunga, Heather Rowe, and Michael Sailstorfer build elaborate site-specific installations. Bunga constructs a huge cardboard house, which he then collapses through strategic cuts. Rowe creates mock rooms in the interstices of makeshift walls. Sailstorfer’s video (in collaboration with Jürgen Heinert) shows a wooden house consuming itself.
