Nearly four years after the 2008 financial crisis, we continue to experience the upheaval and setbacks that it has imposed, namely on the housing industry. Shuttered and overturned properties have destabilized our fixed meaning of the home’s sense of security and intimacy. HITS CLOSE TO HOME investigates the notions of house and home and their shifting cultural significance in our contemporary moment. Dan Giordan and Carole Hennessy re-present these concepts with image and text and through various materials and processes, to reconsider both the social unit’s fragility and persistence to embody our intimate lives.
