Plazas Disponibles was an urban intervention carried out in the early hours of the morning in Bogotá, for which curator Jaime Cerón drafted a letter that, while not an official permit, allowed several streets to be temporarily closed and the action to take place.
The proposal stemmed from a sculptural intent: to explore the volume inscribed within the circumference of a parasol as a potential space, a possible site for use or appropriation. The piece reflected on the ambiguity of this object, which in the urban context can be both a symbol of leisure and protection from the sun and a tool of labor for street vendors.
The project engages in dialogue with interventions such as Christo and Jeanne-Claude’s yellow and blue umbrellas, installed simultaneously in California and Japan, positioning the parasol as an element capable of redefining public space and generating new dynamics of encounter and appropriation
