the goal: to profile some things and actions of interest. this is also a great opportunity to let the word out about some stuff I’ve been involved in with (knee shy) and jinjonjim art and some others.
there is also a build up of past work. so I’ll bust out the occasional retrospective spotlight. until recently, the documentation has been kept in our specially sealed archives, privy only to our pals and the random “art official” who needs proof that we have done “things”, so that we might be allowed to do more “things”.
it’s goes something like this…
“parking permit" (8/10/8)
by: (knee shy)
the whole idea was great fun. assemble a crowd of people to watch someone parallel park a car.
the opening reception began at 4:47pm on the sidewalk between 6th + 7th st. on walnut in Bloomington. (knee shy) provided a full spread of food and refreshments.
at 5:00pm sharp, local sound makers jason and nicole groth-evans pulled up to the reserved spot. with calming sounds of classical music blaring from their audi station wagon, they waved to the applauding crowd while photographers surrounded the vehicle.
the parking began, and within a few moments, it was complete. jason exited the car to more applause. shelley and I met the starring couple for a handshake and hug photo op.
the end.
we are still in shock over how many came out! it would seem that we are not the only ones in town who find parallel parking exciting. big big special thanks to jason and nicole groth driving down and showing us how it's done.
the video has just been posted here.
