Exhibition The squatting action followed a year of campaigning to rent the property for an exhibition space from officials of the NYC Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). On New Year's Day, the show was officially opened to the public. It was to be a two-week occupation/exhibit but was quickly closed down by the police.
