The artist Damon Rich used the 9,335 square-foot physical model of New York City that was built for the 1964 World’s Fair to illustrate the housing crisis for an exhibit that is now on display at the Queens Museum of Art. The standard plastic pizza box tables have been painted pink and placed over areas where homes have been foreclosed to mark the areas where subprime lending has caused the most damage. The model is part of a larger “Redlines” exhibit that focuses on predatory and racist lending practices.
