"This project is a bold and innovative undertaking that will preserve the only surviving physical structures from the January 2025 fires in the Pacific Palisades--the lone masonry chimneys that millions around the world came to recognize as symbols of the devastation of the fires, and the resilience of the communities who would persevere and rebuild."

Each exhibition, whether interior, virtual, or otherwise, uses contemporary art methodologies to activate historic landmarks and to engage the communities impacted by them. House responds to challenges at the intersection of art, architecture, and historic preservation. Site by site, House is building a decentralized, meta-museum network.
