Parking Public Tours at Conflux 06

Parking Public is an investigation into the realities of utopian
thought as materialized in the mundane and pragmatic spaces of
parking lots. Parking lots, one of the most visible, yet overlooked,
artifacts of American mobility reveal the concrete space required to
store the supposed tools of utopian ideals. Parking Public is a
mapping of these literally concrete spaces in an attempt to locate
the utopia they serve. Underneath both the empty spaces of parking
and the empty promises of utopia are real economies and structures of
power.

For Conflux 2006, The TTO will offer a guided tour of parking in the
Brooklyn area that will also serve as a participatory mapping of
personal utopias upon the topography of property development. These
tours will add to the Parking Public database of research on parking
and utopias.

This tour will be conducted by van (leaving from/returning to) the
Conflux HQ at the McCaig-Welles Gallery in Williamsburg/Brooklyn, and
can accommodate 11 people.
