KK Projects

I'm really kind of on the fence about this one. I really appreciate the houses in and of themselves, but I would really like to hear what the people who are actually from this community have to say about this project. I mean, should we really be turning a neighborhood into a gallery? Aren't there still a lot of people who need a neighborhood to, you know, live in?

But whatever, the work really speaks for itself, and if this kind of large scale art instillation brings more attention/money to the people who still need it New Orleans, then I'm all for it.

From CoolHunting:

"Starting with a converted bakery in St. Roch, one of New Orleans' most neglected neighborhoods, KK Projects reimagines buildings ravaged by time and Katrina as site-specific artworks, one at a time. This video tours several of the sites and checks in with founder Kirsha Kaechele to learn about her experiences integrating art into one of the roughest ghettos of the city and what it's like to actually live in a gallery."
