The artist Caledonia Curry (professionally known as Swoon) is bringing a house to Union Square.
Previously installed at Brooklyn Bridge Park and Flushing Meadows-Corona Park in Queens, the mobile sculpture, “The House Our Families Built,” will be at the Manhattan square’s north plaza on Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. (it then moves to Prospect Park in Brooklyn on Feb. 27). This installation was commissioned by PBS as part of its storytelling project, American Portrait, which the network established with RadicalMedia to archive narratives about how we construct our identities as Americans.
