Foreclosed
Damaged homes are the focus of artist Alison Elizabeth Taylor’s show at New York’s James Cohan Gallery, called “Foreclosed.” A native of Las Vegas, one of the cities hit hardest by the mortgage crisis, Taylor snuck into empty houses in the region. Her pictures show the frustration and rage that homeowners took out on their repossessed houses. Kurt asks Taylor why she used the challenging medium of inlaid wood to recast quick images of vandalism.
