The art piece profiled in the vid above was slated to be moved from an Orchard Street gallery to the Navy Yard at the beginning of this month and be available for rent for $199 a week. While we can’t find evidence on the web proving that it is, in fact, somewhere in the Navy Yard, the description is fascinating: “Maison des Cartes, [is] a show model ‘shanty timeshare’ built from 52 separate pieces of found materials…Sales representatives present the viewers with the chance to buy into the private residence club. Upon the show’s completion, the structure will be rebuilt in the scenic Brooklyn Navy Yard.”
