New York City, NY + NYC Bike Rack Design Competition
The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT), in partnership
with the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum and the support of
Google Inc. and Transportation Alternatives, is pleased to announce an
international design competition for new bicycle parking for the City

sustainable, mainstream transportation option and in keeping with the
environmental goals of PlaNYC 2030, DOT is seeking to tap the creative
energy of the world design and art communities for this important
element of street furniture.

The purpose of the competition is to develop functional, well-designed
sidewalk racks and to generate new concepts for bicycle parking inside
commercial and residential buildings. These two initiatives, in
addition to NYCDOT’s commitment to increasing the number of miles of
bicycle facilities, providing the City’s first sheltered bike parking
stations and creating more bicycle parking at transit stations, will
raise the profile of bicycling as a convenient mode of transportation
in New York.

Den Haag, The Netherlands + Marcello’s Art Factory/URM Project
An Urban Ready Made (URM) is a street, a building, a view, an object
or an event in an urban- or industrial environment, where a
conjunction of circumstances cause beauty and art. When an artist or
architect declares this (with some ritual proceedings) art, it becomes
an Urban Ready Made. With the Urban Ready Mades Project we would like
to bring art closer to people. Art doesn’t have to be difficult to
understand. You can find beauty everywhere and to enjoy art you don’t
have to visit a museum or an exposition. We hope our project lets
people realize that they can find art and beauty in their own city.

Marcello & Els, the founders of the project, want to give other
artists and architects a chance to declare an URM in their own
surroundings and join this unique concept. This way there will grow a
“gesammtkunstwerk” (a collective work of art) of thousands of URM’s,
which will go beyond borders. Firstly this is going to take place in
the form of a virtual exhibition on the World Wide Web, crossing
virtual borders. In the year 2010 it will become a traveling
exhibition, kicking off in The Hague.
