Philadelphia Magic Garden and my Project Proposal
http://www.phillymagicgardens.org/
The Magic Garden is an open air museum of art of recycle. The artist Isaiah Zagar created beautiful mosaics with recycle materials, such as bottles, bicycle wheels, tiles, broken clay cups, etc.
The idea of "transforming garbage into mosaics has been explored by many artists some of which listed below:

My proposal will ask the opportunity of transforming one call box into something as colorful and aligned with the concept of sustainable art and repurposing of material as many of these artists have done, and as it is hinted by the ideas put forth by Art on Call.

Golden Triangle Surprise
Most of Golden Triangle's art consist of paintings on canvases, photographed and reported onto a metal sheet and positioned in the middle of the call box. In the back we can see the map of all the boxes that can be found in the area. In the corner of L and 21 there is the most fun of the boxes I have yet seen. Unfortunately I do not have a photograph of it. The artwork was printed on an oval-shaped table and place loosely in the call box with a metal rod going through it and secured in the middle of the box, so that the oval table could be turned. The work becomes interactive, in a way. The community might consider itself more engaged with this particular work of public art, rather than feeling passive with a small change of their environment that they might or might not notice.
