island time — k bueno

For the inaugural show of the Outer Space art series on October 1, 2016, Forrest Perrine converted a traffic island on the corner of NE 60th St and Ravenna Blvd into an art installation of equal parts free pile, zen garden and northwest island complete with sand, beach grass, driftwood, seaweed, and an ocean made of tarp.

The island upon which the island sat was and continues to be known for being a Bermuda Triangle of sorts in the neighborhood, consistently occupied by fluctuating piles of suburban flotsam and jetsam–box springs, semi-functional Ikea shelving, desk drawers, soggy upholstery, etc.–placed there with the idea that somebody might possibly want them and so are being given away, free, compelled by generosity.

In the spirit of embodying a space of giving, Forrest created a series of knotted sculptures to be buried inside of the island for the visitors to find and take home with them. Each visitor also left with a postcard of the island as seen below.
