The House on the Rock
While reading “NeMe: Trouble at the Interface 2.0” by Erkki Huhtamo, I was reminded of a sort of exhibit/attraction I’ve been to up in Spring Green, Wisconsin called The House on the Rock.

Keith is an American born Nigerian artist whose work is immensely influenced by Blackness and its many great attributes.
