“XAM: With my NON-DWELLING units I have glued the  structure with waterproof wood glue and the mounted signage with water  resistant wood glue. I look at America as a country that is constantly  reinventing itself over time. With time we will discover a solution to  our housing crisis and with time (and weather) the “Price Reduced”,  “Foreclosure” and “Bank Owned” signs will fall from the units and allow  birds to live in the once vacant houses… To be honest, I would love it  if homeless birds were to expedite the process and remove the signs  themselves.”

from a great article and interview with XAM, an artist I was fortunate enough to meet during the installation week leading up to Governors Ball 2011.
