Printed Matter presents a new window installation as part of Homes for People, Not for Profit , a collaboration between Art Against Displacement (AAD) and Alex Strada that reactivates Homeless At Home , a 1985–86 project in which dozens of artists and architects, at the behest of Storefront for Art and Architecture, designed and deployed stencils that “[spoke] directly to the public about the necessity of human dignity and home for everyone.” 1 In November 1985, Printed Matter co-founder Lucy Lippard curated a window installation of these stencils for its original storefront on Lispenard Street. Precisely 41 years later, AAD and Strada, in collaboration with FEC Tenants Against Demolition, will paint a selection of original and contemporary stencils on Printed Matter’s window, in recognition of that history — while also responding to the store’s proximity to NYCHA’s Fulton and Elliott-Chelsea Houses, which currently face demolition under a $1.2 billion plan conceived in partnership with private developers.
