Camel Art Space presents The Promise of Real Estate

One of the first things you learn to draw is a house in a landscape of sun, horizon and stick figures. Becoming an adult means finding a stable relationship, a career, a car, and perhaps most importantly, you start looking at real estate in the hopes that sooner or later you might be able to establish the lasting security of a home. You long for a sense of place where you can be happy and fulfilled. Yet this promise of real estate has led to the complete destabilizing of the world’s most powerful economy.

Each unique in their approach, Carl Gunhouse, Chris McGee, Christine Rogers, Rachel Boillot, Lauren Portada and Tom Marquet all deal with the idea of real estate. Their artworks examine the topic of home ownership in a variety of ways: the seduction of the home, the illusion of stability that home ownership provides, and what happens when the illusion collapses. ~C.G. & C.R.
