Urban jungle

Car parking spaces are generally so sought after in towns and cities these days that nobody ever seems to stop to consider what else they could be used for. The concept of being able to rent a piece of space in integers as little as fifteen minutes is quite cool when you think about it. Other than parking spaces I can’t think of anything that you can rent for so little for such a variable amount of time with so little commitment. Anyway I really liked PARK(ing) as it was an inventive way of looking at urban space in a new way and putting it to a slightly more beneficial use than just sticking a car in it.

I guess stuff like PARK(ing) counts as modern art, but is refreshing insofar as it doesn’t tout itself as such. I like the interactivity of it too, much like this display of paper cups in a chain link fence.
