Mobile Pool

Dumpster Pools 2009

The city didn't know about or care about us, but with all the media coverage, especially the article in the New York Times, well, sooner or later someone high up was going to say, "What's going on over there? Who are these people? And do they have permits? Is it code compliant?" Etc. Etc. That's what happened. But by that time, actually, on the day David got that letter, it happened to be the same day he decided to empty the pools. We'd had loads of fun, but it was also a lot to handle. So the city's threat at that point didn't really mean much. Though, ironically, it led to David meeting with the Department of Health, saying, basically, "It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission." And later, to the Department of Transportation and Bloomburg's Summer Streets Program people asking Macro Sea to make custom pools, which we did. Those street legal, code compliant, fully mobile dumpster pools were manufactured at Cooper Tank in Bushwick in the winter of 2010 and then were used on Park Avenue that August for the Summer Streets program. And now, five years later, those three pools have been very graciously donated by David to the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tucson, where I happen to be the curator. -- Jocko Weyland from VICE http://www.vice.com/read/new-yorks-dumpster-pools-are-back-in-jocko-weylands-new-book-019
