Looks like the house next door here in Richmond.

The artist on that one was God.

Two artists who have encased one of Detroit's thousands of abandoned homes in ice are hoping their effort inspires

It just makes me think, "Man, Detroit sucks!"

Woulda been nice if they had sent all that water out to central California where it’s needed instead of wasting it on ‘art’!!

More of Obama’s stimulus money at work. Detroit the arm pit of Michigan. The last one to leave Detroit, remember to turn off the lights when leaving. As Detroit so goes the nation. Rat Government and the Unions really have created Detroit - broke

Photographer Gregory Holm and architect Matthew Radune (Ray-DOON') have spent weeks spraying water on the home for the Ice House Detroit project.

But make sure you never use more than 1.6 gallons of water to flush your toilet...

This is what used to be known as a cold water flat.

Let’s see. It’s Detroit, so the cost of the water to make this “art” was probably higher than the property value itself.

draw attention to the housing crisis that has battered the nation.

Maybe they should stay local and draw attention to the growing numbers of abandoned and burned down houses in Detroit.........
