THE FLOCK HOUSE PROJECT
Mary Mattingly
At the Bronx Museum backyard
The Flock House Project is a group of self-contained ecosystems inhabited by artists using the space as their studio. The project promotes and implements a wider adaptation of "green" technologies and scalable, transportable living spaces. Expanding upon data collected from previous Waterpod Project (a self-sustaining barge that toured the NYC Waterways in 2009), the food, water, and power systems function both autonomously and parasitically off of surrounding waste. Dependent on local community relationships to maintain, share, and operate, the Flock House project is a fantastic prototype for possible foundations for the future of urban living where more and more people are expected to face environmental, political, and economic instability. The Flock House Project will be at the Bronx Museum from July 20 through September 9. Check for updates at: www.flockhouse.org
