Red Lines, Death Vows, Foreclosures, Risk Structures is a traveling exhibition and publication that will connect the complexities of global finance to the material realities of architecture. Red Lines will tell the stories of the rise of real estate financial markets, the people who make these markets work today, and the communities that fought (and are fighting) to reform the system. The exhibition's immersive installation will contain architectural elements, photography and video. Given the current housing crises, it is an ideal moment for this engaging and provocative exhibition that explores the hidden networks behind the built environment. Red Lines will premiere at the MIT Museum in Cambridge, MA and travel to a minimum of three other cities by June 2010. Up to four education programs will be designed for each venue. The exhibition will be accompanied by a comprehensive catalog.
