Campaign Story
Gregory Holm, a photographer, and Matthew Radune, an architect, are collaborating on this winter of 2009-2010 architectural installation. The project, which involves working with several Detroit organizations, aims to uphold concepts of neighborhood integrity, material reuse, public art, social empowerment, and urban farming.
With the current freeze in the housing market, Detroit is leading the nation in foreclosures.
Ice House Detroit references this contemporary urban condition, and
involves the acquisition and recontextualization of one of the 80,000
abandoned houses in the city.
The house will be sprayed with water in subzero temperatures, gradually
building up layers of ice over the course of several days or weeks. Once
it is frozen, the common architectural and urban references of the
house will be temporarily obscured, providing a period of reflection.
Aside from the installation itself, we will be producing fine art
prints, a limited edition art book, and a film which will document the
transformation of the house and potentially the legal and bureaucratic
maneuvers necessary to pull off such an endeavor.
After completion of this project, we will be working with groups who
will deconstruct this house, recycling the wood, metals, glass, and the
cement foundation; keeping these materials from entering our dumps. Once
the house is demolished, It is our intention to donate the property to
local urban farmers for the cultivation of neighborhood vegetables.

Ice House Detroit is the first is the first in a series of large scale
artworks conceived and produced by Gregory Holm and Matthew Radune.
These artworks will exist as time-based architectural installations
exploring the nature of contemporary culture. The primary artworks will
serve as starting points from which explorations can be done in several
media including photography and film.
