cheryl blogged about this a while back. this is real tricksterish inspiration... park(ing)
an art collective rebar in san fransisco wondered what you could do with a parking space in your allotted two hours? more info and pics are on the rebar site...
They began to consider that metered parking spaces were like short term leases. You pay the meter and the space is yours for the designated amount of time. Of course, normally people park their cars there and go off to work, but they wanted to explore the limits of what could happen in a parking place.
Because certain areas of downtown San Francisco are underserved by public green space, Rebar decided to do the city a favor and increase the amount of green space in the area for two hours on November 16th, 2005. They did this by building a park in a 20-foot metered parking space.
