Museum of Modern Art presents exhibit based on foreclosure

A new art exhibit at New York’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) will feature an exhibit which highlights the foreclosure crisis and solutions and explores architectural solutions to revitalize communities affected by the housing crisis, according to a story featured on Mortgage Orb.

The exhibit “Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream” will feature works presented by five interdisciplinary teams which include architects and experts in economics, financing, housing, and public policy. The goal of the exhibit is to offer proposals that highlight the interconnectedness between land, housing, infrastructure urban form and public spaces, according to Mortgage Orb.

MoMA chose five areas with a significant rate of foreclosures and publicly owned space and asked the participants to create proposals that rethink and the physical and financial structure of their assigned sites.

According to Barry Bergdoll, curator of MoMa’s Phillip Johnson architectural and design, the exhibit was meant to show that the foreclosure crisis is a part of a larger socioeconomic issue.

There are millions of people across the country facing foreclosure and even though some of them will be able to keep their homes with the assistance of a foreclosure attorney, many homes will be lost. This is not only a loss to the homeowner, it can be a loss to the community.

Retaining a foreclosure lawyer to prevent eviction helps the homeowner and keeps adjacent homes from losing value. When a person is willing to fight they can hire a foreclosure attorney stand by their side.
