DETROIT'S ICE HOUSE
Written by Elsa Brown: As a city with one of the highest foreclosure rates in the country, Detroit is teeming with abandoned houses. This winter, one of these structures is getting an icy treatment as part of an installation project meant to bring attention to the city’s housing collapse. Photographer Gregory Holm and architect Matthew Radune are spraying the above pictured house with fire-hydrant water almost 24-hours a day, encrusting it in a glistening shell of ice. The Ice House Project tells tales of supporters stopping by with hot chocolate, documents a food and clothing drive organized by the artists, as well as chronicles the entire endeavor, from house to house-sicle.
