Urban Creative Guerrilla to recapture the public space through artistic performance
On Saturday 16th April 2011 my Itinerant Camera Obscura (AKA 'The mountain goes to Mohammed') will take to the streets of Lisbon once again.
ZAAT Collective, who commissioned the tent for the 2010 ZAAT Mostra, are collaborating with I Park Art to organise the Lisbon edition of I Park Art Day.
I Park Art is an urban creative guerrilla project that promotes the re-appropriation of public space through artistic actions. The idea is both simple and clever: participants buy a ticket for a space in a paying car park and turn it into a creative space for the day. By paying a fee, they enter into a legal contract that allows the temporary occupation of a section of the street, normally by a vehicle; this contract doesn't normally specify which type of objects one can occupy that space with, and I Park Art Day uses this loophole to turn the streets into open creative spaces.
The idea is available under a Creative Commons License and anyone with an idea for an installation or performance can take part. Participants for the 2011 edition include cities in Italy, Spain, Portugal, UK, Poland, France and more. There is still time to take part, either organising your own event or checking out what is happening in your city. Check the instructions and participants on I Park Art's website.
