Dream Home Resource Center, Olga Koumoundouros's most recent investigation of home ownership, addresses the immateriality of real estate transactions and the shift from home as emblem of the American dream to house as commodity. During the course of the installation, housing specialists, activists, and citizens invested in and affected by issues surrounding home ownership and the recent economic downturn set up temporary offices in the gallery. Through these elements, Koumoundouros asked viewers and participants to consider the currency, both emotional and monetary, invested in the places in which we live (Run time: 2 mins. 38 seconds).
