Description:
Kim Holleman's Trailer Park (2006) will be shown as part of the exhibition PORTABLE at the Storefront for Art and Architecture. Founded in 1982 and based on Kenmare Street, the Storefront for Art and Architecture is a nonprofit organization committed to advancing innovative positions in art, architecture and design.

Trailer Park is a living park environment housed within an 18' x 8' x 7' travel trailer. Holleman has gutted the interior and built and planted a park inside. She has installed two park benches, a water fountain, flowerbeds, earthworms, and ladybugs. Trailer Park functions as both a visual attraction in Petrosino Square, and as a platform for conversations about public park spaces. The interior of the trailer can be viewed Tuesday-Saturday, 11:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m.
