A Temporary Art for a Permanent Dream

Show Home is a temporary public art project by Nathan Coley, curated
by Locus+ .

Show Home has two parts; a media campaign using the advertising
language of the modern housing developer and for one day only a
temporary, full scale facade of a modest rural cottage in three
different locations on consecutive days.

With its white walls and slate tiled roof, Show Home evokes ideas of
land-use, building style and lifestyle.

The sculpture will be filmed and photographed for a short documentary
and publication.
