Description of work

**THIS ARTWORK HAS BEEN TEMPORARILY REMOVED FOR REPAIRS**

Park consists of two mobile, stainless steel sculptural objects each approximately the size and weight of a small automobile. The sculptures occupy curb lane parking spots and are relocated from time to time to various neighbourhoods throughout the city. Whether adjacent to public sites such as schools or parks, commercial properties, or permitted to occupy residential parking through their 'adoption' by neighbourhood residents, Park tracks the many forms by which the street, our most symbolic public space, is regulated. Currently, the two sculptures are located on Prior Street at the east and west entrances of Strathcona Park.
