Basta de tonteras, Artistas del Rojas en Lincoln. Museo de Arte de Lincoln (MUBAL), Lincoln,
Pcia. de Buenos Aires.

Estuvimos en Lincoln un total de 4 días. No llevamos materiales, sólo herramientas. Durante los dos primeros días recorrimos el lugar y comenzamos a recoger materiales de descarte, que ensamblamos durantes los dos siguientes. Fue decisivo y enriquecedor para el proyecto el haberse realizado en un espacio público (utilizado principalmente por los taxistas de la zona), porque dio lugar a un intercambio con la comunidad.

The Lincoln project consisted on restoring an abandoned Taxi stop within the timeframe of four days (the period of time we were invited by the local authorities). We only carried our working tools, consisting on basic and portable items (hand saw, drill, hammer, nails, etc.) and for the first two days walked around town looking for materials and potting indigenous plants and weeds. The rest of our time was spent working on the site. Being on the street, it proved a very enriching experience to be able to exchange ideas with passerby and cab drivers, which were the main users of the stop.
