Camping on a Parking Space Edit
(P) LOT by Michael Rakowitz Questions City Space Use

ART - (P) LOT is an ongoing public art project by Michael Rakowitz. His goal: to encourage society to reconsider what is considered a “legitimate” use city space. In other words, camping in a parking space.

“Instead of using municipal parking spaces to store vehicles, P (LOT) proposes to rent them for alternative purposes. The acquisition of municipal permits and simple payment of parking meters could enable citizens to, for example, establish temporary encampments or use the leased ground for different kinds of activities.” (We Make Money Not Art)
