Invitation...
Let’s encourage people to imagine new possibilities around housing. Especially in highly-institutionalized and bureaucratized spheres, it tends to get harder and harder to imagine alternatives. Scarcity and limitation guides our decision making. These engagements are designed to get participants thinking expansively about what is possible!

IN YOUR HOUSE… A DOOR
What is it that dominates the shifting landscape of our cities, and our ability to find life-affirming housing? Who gets left behind when competition, growth, and profit, the cornerstones of the housing market, dictate the rules of the game? In a brief series of engagements, socially engaged artist Zachary Gough asks us to blow open our imaginations of what housing could look like for people living with cognitive differences in Corvallis. Through three engagements, Zach will facilitate simple visions of future housing scenarios. Some of these futures are possible tomorrow, some are possible in a couple years and others will be possible in many years from now.

Thursday July 16th
1:00pm-2:30pm: Open discussion to envision new housing scenarios at ArtWorks (CEI) Gallery
4:00pm-8:00pm: Exhibition Opening and Reception at ArtWorks (CEI) Gallery 408 SW Monroe suite 110, Corvallis, OR

My dream house has a big art studio with lots of windows and light and room for a comfy couch. 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms, one of which has a big, deep bathtub. Big open kitchen and dining room, large family room, and an office for my sweetie. I’ll also have a covered porch with a hot tub looking out onto our beautiful garden and it will be full of friends and family. It will be a bright color – Red or turquoise.

Latitude Arts (Lexington, KY)
RW
Would have a walk in closet and it would have a double book case and it have an in ground swimming pool and it would have a hot tub on the deck and it would have a screened in patio with a nice table and chairs. It would have double car garage with a remote to push it open and it would have a nice garden and different vegetables it would have a big flower garden in the front and back. My dream house would have a elevator to go to the top of the other side of the house and it would have a nursery and play room for kids and it would have a dog and a cat to keep me safe and my husband calm and a chandelier in the ceiling and we will happily ever after and will live in at a rich neighborhood that have a golf course and a guard at the gate it would be private

NJB
It would have someone special. It would be red with white curtains. I would invite friends. I would have a special room for making cake. Lots of chocolate. I want to be in the country because its nice and quiet. I would have tulips. I want a fireplace, because I’ve always wanted one.

P
A Big Library. Art Studio. A Kitchen area and Dining Room and a Master Bed Room. Room House Parents Goldfish

TT
My Dream House would be green and yellow. There would be a special room just for art. It would also have a big living room with room for family and friends. My dream house would be a special place for A and me in the country. It would have a lot of bedrooms to let people be able to stay over anytime they needed to. There would be a special room full of magnifying glasses and a reading machine so I could see as much as possible.

LT
I would have an apartment and three bedrooms. I want a stove, a microwave and a refrigerator. No pets. I would grow onions, tomatoes. Lettuce, and strawberries in a window box. I’d need lots of windows. I would live in Kentucky. I want lots of closets for clothes.


MP
It is in New York.  I would live with B there. I would live in a hotel. I would have a pool. I would have a girl cat. We would invite other family to stay.

EDB
I have always wanted my own house. The Dream House I picture in my own head has eight bedrooms one of which is a huge Master Suite with a huge King Sized four poster Master Bed. The kitchen is equipped a glistening stainless steel stove oven combination that is self-cleaning and cools quickly. I would have my own radio station and coffee house and my favorite meals that I love… I will only have one rule in my house which is… have fun. A fun time in my dream house consists of being able to ignore others just to tick them off which to me truly, truly sounds like so much fun. I would even enjoy guests coming over, even un expectantly. I’d even have an aquarium and I would have two fire places in house, and a child’s playroom and my own personal bank and shopping mall….

CW
I want lots of ways to look outside. I would live with just me. I want a big tv. I want it to be painted black. I would put it near the ball field. I want a bowling alley. I would have a cat.

DR

My Dream House is Log Cabin. It would have a comfortable couch with recliners. A bed that is antique. I would hang a big Smart tv on the wall. I want a big refrigerator full of shrimp and a bin of potatoes. I want to live in the country. I would keep cows, horses, pigs and a cat. I would live by myself.

We are thrilled to have work created for this action from around the state and from Latitude... a program based in Lexington, Kentucky. Ralph Reynolds a good artist friend from Lexington responds to the question of what your Dream House would be like:

"It would have bookshelves in it for all the books I like to read. A TV, a radio and a weather radio to tell me if a tornado is coming. I would like to have a big, walk out basement. I would like to plant tomatoes, corn, and grow grapes for wine and make it in my basement for my family. I would store it in my basement for a few years. Some furniture and a stove. I want a guest room so people can visit me. It would be way out in the woods with plenty of land for growing food and shooting guns. I would have a large play area for kids. I also want a campground for military soldiers and people from Moscow. I'd like a river or lake. For Mr. College boy who thinks he's smarter than everyone else, his own cottage".


Below is an intuitive  rendering of Fairview Training Center by Ruth Van Order. Fairview was a state run facility which housed many of those with developmental differences in the state of Oregon. It was located on the grounds of the Salem State Hospital. The plan Ruth detailed was based upon conversations around the facility and in fact she had never visited it. In her interpretation the facility is 6 stories high and houses 2424 residents. A great opinion piece on Fairview Training Center by State Senator Sara Gelser and The Oregon State Hospital Museum's Fairview Training Center page
