To May 20 Building the Palace will assemble characters, objects, architecture, and atmosphere for a new cross-cultural palace that references and critiques our current relationship with real estate, culture, and memory.

Curated by Mara Schwerdtfeger. Also, Paris Will Survive by Jah Maskell looks at the Ozploitation film The Cars that Ate Paris, and memories of peaking through floorboards, roadkill, rust in cuts and homesickness that the film conjures up — “I hope it reminds my mother of our farm.”
