Taking Back the Streets: P (LOT)
by Lloyd Alter, Toronto 
on 04.26.06
For those who believe that streets are for people as well as cars, here is the ultimate hybrid: a tent that looks like a car. Artist Michael Rakowitz says: "(P) LOT questions the occupation and dedication of public space and encourages reconsiderations of "legitimate" participation in city life. Contrary to the common procedure of using municipal parking spaces as storage surfaces for vehicles, P (LOT) proposes the rental of these parcels of land for alternative purposes." Do a mashup with Rebar's PARK(ing) and it will be just like a camping trip. ::Michael Rakowitz via ::WMMNA
