New Orleans artist wants you to stop and look
Step right in, take a seat. Don't bother shutting the door -- there is none. "Open House, " the eye-catching roadside sculpture by artist/architect Susan Neely, opens with a reception today from 4 to 6 p.m., and it's an artwork that's meant to be explored.

“Open House” Unveiling
WHO: Susan Neely
WHAT: “Open House” Unveiling
WHEN: Saturday Sept 12th, 4:00 pm
WHERE: 2761 Dreux, Gentilly LA
- free refreshments provided compliments of AORTA Projects -
AORTA Projects is pleased to announce the unveiling of Open House, architect Susan Neely’s aesthetic intervention with her Gentilly neighborhood. Ms. Neely writes, “Open House is an installation conceived with the intention of reminding us of the past, celebrating the present and provoking discussion about the future. Equal parts architecture, art and design, the work sits on the slab of a home that was flooded and later demolished by the Army Corps of Engineers. One can see where walls stood, and it’s fairly easy to imagine how each space was occupied. In its current state, 25 functional pieces of furniture fill the rooms. Each piece was designed and built specifically for Open House and visitors are encouraged to take a seat, hang out, and imagine the best way to move forward. In keeping with AORTA Projects’ long-standing commitment to the Gentilly Gardens community, Open House can contribute to the growing sense of optimism in the neighborhood. As more people return, it seems reasonable to expect a common urge to gather and meet one another in a gracious, safe and clean environment. To that end, Open House will be maintained as a free interactive exhibit for two months.”
Please join us Saturday Sept 12th at 4:00p to celebrate “Open House” and the continued progress of its surrounding community. Please visit our website or contact us for further information.

AORTA Projects is an on-going community-based grass-roots art project. Believing the creative process to be a powerful tool for affecting social change and healing from trauma, the core mission of AORTA Projects is to support citizens living in post-disaster environments in their efforts toward renewal. In the process we participate in the dialog concerning the conceptual and social potential of contemporary art.
