The Public Space (and its Discontents) group on Flickr
A wonderful idea for a Flickr pool, and an interesting crowd of urban explorers, architects, public space activists, photographers. density lovers and so on. The pool was started by Knapster.«This group is interested in how people use, abuse and subvert 'public' spaces. Now that we lead sedentary indoor lives, public spaces are often neglected or strictly controlled and regulated. We are interested in how public spaces can be used for 'unexpected' purposes other than their design or how that are 'supposed' to;
Graffiti, Signs, Stickers, Junk (creative use of 'rubbish'), Street Performances, Local Characters, Eccentric Heros, Weirdoes, Social Malcontents, Protests, Skateboarding, Squatting, Homemade Vehicles and Bicycles, Public Sculpture (and 'vandalism' thereof) , Street Parties, Social Interventions, Witty Adaptations, Interesting Architecture, Decoration and Adornment of Buildings, (more to be added soon)»Technorati Tags: photography, public art, street art
