Reclaiming A Parking Spot

 

 

Green Corner: a collaborative piece between Helsinki-based artists Otto Karvonen and Jon Irigoyen. Described as an “urban intervention" the idea was simple: install a grass turf lawn in a parking space creating a temporary park that calls into question the ideas of ownership and use in public spaces.

I think it's genius. Portland has an abundance of parks, one if which is a full blown forest right in the city.. However, this still seems like an interesting idea to bring to our little city's streets. Who has a bbq??
