Lisa and Leo's Domestic Museum
The loss of real estate value implicit in the housing foreclosure crisis has sped up the possible extinction of the suburbs. The fragile images of everyday-life that kept suburbia in place have not resisted last ten years reversed White Flight. In Levittown, houses, home-owners and business remain surprisingly unchanged, unaware of their status of endanger species. By converting their home into a museum, the homeowners can preserve a way of life that is threatened, subsidized by entrance fees paid by the public. Please, visit Lisa & Leo's Domestic Museum to gain appreciation for the suburban promise of a good life.
Lisa and Leo's Domestic Museum (aka the Sound of Silver) opened during four hours Saturday May 23rd, 2011 in Forest City, NY, as part of Open house by Droog in collaboration with Diller Scofidio + Renfro; a movement in which suburban homeowners supplement their income and develop a new vocation by offering home-made services and facilities to the public.
