PAVEMENT PARADISE art exhibit in Los Angeles
I’ve not seen the PAVEMENT PARADISE exhibit in Los Angeles, but I’d like to! If any of you fine readers attend this show, please let the rest of us know what it was like by posting in the comments. With a tag line like the following, I’m sure it is interesting!
An exhibit about the liminal, substanceless, and static space of automotive transience.

The meterhood co. makes parking meter hoods and sign covers www.meterhood.com. I have to submit this in response to parking at art. We recently collaborated with a gallery in Denver. This is an excerpt from Artnet. http://www.artnet.com/magazineus/reviews/robinson/robinson10-16-06.asp
The Invisible Museum also sponsored a public artwork by Rainer Ganahl that was no doubt much appreciated by Denver drivers. Dubbed Use a Bicycle, the piece puts black cloth shrouds over several hundred downtown parking meters, covers that are emblazoned with the pro-environmental motto, “Use a bicycle.” Of course, the shrouded meters also allow free parking, as if to suggest that social engineering doesn’t always deliver the intended results.
