These are located on Bellevue on Capital Hill and are up til August 7th, after which these houses (which aren't in bad shape) will be demolished for condos.
The first house contained animated wooden structures and was a favorite with children.
The next one was rapped inside and out with red cord, lending interesting perspectives.
Another was wall-papered with clothing, including the famous "underwear wall."
That house was also shrink-wrapped.
Here are more things I liked, and then we'll see what the Art Critics had to say.

The art at these houses—three houses in a row—is part of a project called Mad Homes. It's the contemporary show of the summer, a freer, wilder version of Seattle Art Museum's current art-in-a-parlor survey of 19th- century landscape painting. Mad Homes is the colonization of a morphing location by 14 sweaty artists.
