Is public art a crime? Who decides over public space use? The recent event of a world renown Brooklyn based artist put today’s public art into question. Takeshi Miyakawa was arrested this past may19 and charged with the class D felony of reckless endangerment, placing of false bombs, and criminal nuisance. After the misunderstanding he was released today, May 23rd from Rikers Island jail. For more information visit here or here.

Dymaxion Sleep by Jane Hutton and Adrian Blackwell
I loved it since I saw it: you’re lying on a meadow, but you’re actually not, you’re above it. Then I read in the project description the plants are aromatic ones, which made it even more interesting for me.
SKY DECK BY TORAFU ARCHITECTS in collaboration with Ishinomaki Laboratory
This is a small table made to hook onto handrails, and it uses just enough pieces of wood to do so. You can put your mobile phone or a radio on it while you hang out your laundry, or it can be used as a counter when you have a beer on your balcony on a nice day. Floating in the air, sky deck stretches a narrow balcony space out by just a little bit, into the city beyond.
