ART AND THE BOUNCY BANKER: Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream For more information please visit MoMA.org/foreclosed.

The Bruxist Collective's take on Art and (as Alfred Jarry might put it) P'finance.

A numerically dyslexic artist (and reluctant consumer) shares his dearth of financial wisdom and resulting frustrations with his Bank Manager. Read personal letters from the elusive Art to his even more elusive Bank Manager. See a comic rendition of a Day In The Life Of The Bouncy Banker. Art struggles to make sense of the senseless as the Authorities of Finance wobble but never quite fall down. Full of hot air they float above it all! When they bounce it is with impunity! Why are there no Remorseful Bankers? Can Art and Finance ever coexist? Do you have a Blue Chip on your shoulder?

When bankers get together they talk about Art. When artists get together they talk about money. Oscar Wilde

Foreclosed: Rehousing the American Dream For more information please visit MoMA.org/foreclosed.

As both an artist, somewhat struggling homeowner, and resident of the Oranges, one of the five urban corridor hubs these teams are examining, I am very interested in this project. What does substainable mean within our current, broken suburban infrastructures? Hilary Sample and Michael Meredith bring up issues of health both physical and financial, shared/cooperative homeownership models, and the notion of reinventing The Street.
