The Real Estate Show of 1980 was one of Colab’s first large-scale exhibitions, and although short-lived, put in motion the formation of ABC No Rio and an effective protest against the housing authorities’ abuse of power. The exhibition took place at 123 Delancey Street, which was a city-owned property that remained derisively vacant as communities faced homelessness, forceful evictions and exorbitant rent. Quickly shut down by authorities, Colab members resumed their protest by distributing posters that explained the sequence of events and prompted people to continue their support at a different location. Designed by Becky Howland, Christof Kohlhofer and Alan Moore, the photocopy posters were double-sided to accommodate English and Spanish text in an effort to reach a wider neighborhood audience. Today, this edition of Colab ephemera serves as a material example of collective agency and activist art, and a political act of resistance against the growing forces of capitalism that New York continues to witness to this day.
