Glow in the dark art park. Beautiful and Wasteful.

This is the third glow in the dark park that I’m aware of, and the second one by Korean artist Koo Jeong A. Incredibly, this concrete park appears to be a temporary installation at the Triennale Milano in Italy. What happens to it after the exhibit runs its course from 26th of November 2019 to the 15th of February 2020? It probably ends up in landfill. I love art. I have a degree in art. I love skateboarding too. But, for fucks sake, it’s 2019. Stop building temporary, disposable concrete skateparks! This installation was poured byControl Z, but it’s not their fault. The event is in conjunction with something called the Academy of Skateboarding, which near as I can tell, is a skate school for kids created specifically for this exhibit. It’s tough o tell, there are all sorts of Academies of Skateboarding on the web, but the Italian translation turns up a curiously titled link: “Academy of Skateboarding featuring bastard.” Maybe I’ve got this all wrong, after all, my Italian is… non-existent. If you can fill in some details, please leave them in the comments and I’ll add it to the main post.

It’s hard to tell from the top photo if the park is concrete or wood, but this photo on the event page appears to show the park being poured.
