New Homeless Museum
The unofficial mantra of our time, bigger is better, has
spilled into the cultural realm. Aggressive museum expansion has led to
more expensive and exclusive institutions. The Homeless Museum (HoMu) is an alternative venture to this
mainstreaming. To involve the public in the creation of culture rather
than its consumption, HoMu has developed the New Homeless Museum (NHoMu), in a
joint effort with architect Matthias Hollwich (XPEKT) and engineer Forest Flager
(Arup & Partners). This
collaboration will fuse art and architecture in one daring experiment.
Conceived as a temporary
structure, NHoMu is built as a square block made of orange glycerin soap. The proposed museum will rest atop a
foundation providing a draining system to carry away melting soap. Included in the foundation will be a
lighting system to illuminate the glycerin structure from underneath.
