We all have very differing opinions about what we consider art. There are whole movements in modern art which explores "everyday" objects and makes us think of them differently, and PARK(ing) Day can be seen as an art exercise making people rethink "everyday" urban environments.If you consider PARK(ing) as temporary art installations, it starts to lend itself to all sorts of interesting public art dialogues about -
- Temporary vs permanant public art investment.
- Landscape as Art (land art)
- Assemblage, found objects and recycling
- Public art as beautification
- Collaborations with artists and architects (in integrated building projects and exhibitions/events like Back to City in Newscastle, Art: City in Perth)
- Artists in the planning process
- Un-commissioned Street Art
- Community Arts and cultural development
