Interbenchion

I have noticed a poor imprisoned bench located beneath the Surrey Central skytrain station during my commute. When I asked around to find out, what crime this bench committed, in turns out in a misguided attempt to curb crime, the city of Surrey removed all public seating in the area. This bench, set in concrete, was too much of a challenge to remove (I presume), so translink put a 8 foot tall fence around it.

Seems that someone decided to take action, an "interbention", and used the space for some guerrilla art installation. They turned the fenced off bench into a cozy living room, fully equipped with plush pillows and slippers.

I really love the idea of non invasive guerrilla installation art, especially art like this that has a fun message. Checkout their website http://www.interbenchion.blogspot.com/, more interesting work to come!
