YOUR HOUSE IS MINE: Book + Street Project
YOUR HOUSE IS MINE is a limited-edition artist book project co-spearheaded by Nadia Coen and Andrew Castrucci in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The book combines 33 signed silkscreen protest posters with writings and essays addressing homelessness, gentrification, and the AIDS crisis in New York’s Lower East Side. Contributors include David Wojnarowicz, Martin Wong, Lee Quinones, Juan Sánchez, David Hammons, Andres Serrano, and Cookie Mueller, among many others. The project has been acquired by major institutions such as the Centre Pompidou, Leipzig State Library, the Hessel Museum at Bard, and the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and has been described by leading curators as “one of the most important artist books of the 20th century.”
