Kyong Park invites you to the arrival of '24260: The Fugitive House'

An empty house from Detroit was 'stolen' by me, Kyong Park, together with a group of students and faculty members of University of Detroit Mercy, back in the late winter/spring of 2001, and was taken to Orlean, France. Known as '24260: The Fugitive House,' it has since been traveling in Europe through more than 10 cities, pretending to be a work of art, presenting itself in different exhibitions, including in "Shrinking Cities" project. Its real purpose was to find a 'kinder and gentler" city than Detroit, where it could find a new home. But Europe is becoming just as neo-liberal and neo-con as here in the USA, so it is coming to San Diego, the "America's Finest City," and will give a shot at settling down here. Fittingly, it will be stored in Barrio Logan, a place where all the 'unwanted' are tossed away. The dream is that 24260 would be re-united with me (Kyong Park), in the opulence of Southern California, perhaps 'face-lifted' to become a functional abode, an appropriate ending for the nomadic life we both have shared, but separately, in Europe for 5-7 years.
