A special presentation by (l) Paul Moakley, Deputy Photo Editor TIME, and John Moore (r), Photographer for Getty, about his World Press Photo winning series documenting the American foreclosure crisis.
"This exhibition examines how artists are using photography to record the aftermath of the housing bubble; from its’ beginning in 2006 to the dramatic effects it still has on the American Landscape today. The artists and photographers in the exhibition depict the ruins of rich and poor neighborhoods, as well as the families affected by the economic downturn. As a result, the exhibition aims to explore the disintegration of the American dream and how it effects a culture where home ownership is no longer a reality."– The Alice Austen House Museum
