Brooklyn-based street artist RAE BK has transformed a modular home at 1049 Samsonville Road in Kerhonkson, New York, into an immersive exhibition titled “Faraday Cage.” The house, slated for demolition by spring 2026, has been painted and reimagined as an art installation before its materials are recycled. The exhibition includes themed rooms such as the “Eggman” room, and was documented on September 14, 2025.
The exhibition matters because it repurposes a condemned residential structure as a temporary art space, giving the building a final creative life before its demolition. This approach highlights themes of impermanence, reuse, and the intersection of street art with site-specific installation. It also draws attention to the role of art in transforming everyday spaces and engaging local communities in the Hudson Valley region.
