Red Lines Housing Crisis Learning Center is presented in dialogue with The University of Trash, an exhibition by artists Nils Norman and Michael Cataldi on view at Sculpture Center May 10-August 3, 2009. Norman and Cataldi propose a radical imagination and radically different space might look like coming out of this crisis. The two exhibitions will co-host public programs and each will include an installed element from the other.
Red Lines Housing Crisis Learning Center was created by Damon Rich as a program of the Center for Urban Pedagogy.
