The Last House To The Left, 2005
Jesse Bercowetz and Matt Bua bring to life a civil-war era officer's house, empty and silent since the Coast Guard left the Island in the 1990's. Made from materials scavenged from the Island, The Last House to the Left is an architectural addition that contains a makeshift museum, complete with objects, images, and sounds that play with unusual facts and fictions of the Island.
Bercowetz and Bua have worked together since 1998. Their spontaneous and site-responsive working process crosses genres and involves collaboration with others, blurring the lines between work, play, manhood, and boyhood. They have exhibited extensively including installations at the Brooklyn Museum of Art and PS1, and they were LMCC resident artists in 2004.
