Popped up park

this is a social construct project: it invites other artists and those who support more spontaneous activity in our daily routines to come together this friday night to do a guerilla installation. we installed these swings under the holton bridge, in the media garden on the east side of the marsupial which connects many a neighborhood. these swings add purpose to our urban infrastructure and a playful interruption to those passing by. it is our hope that the installation will serve as not only an element of recreation, but as a point of reconsideration for these leftover spaces in our city.
