Irwan Ahmett invented a new game in his Urban Play series inspired by the streets of Greensboro. By prototyping with collection toys and testing early versions with Elsewhere collaborators, he developed a new sport that can only be played in a busy parking lot. Players walk around the parking lot in a circle, and when a car enters, each player picks the nearest space in front of them and tries to get the car to park in "their" space. The player who parks the most cars wins.

Irwan Ahmett: I had a wonderful childhood. I spent most of my time playing with or without friends. I used to play with objects I found on the street, with situations around me, or using my body. To maintain the spirit of playing in my work I created a project called 'Urban Play', a concept of play which utilizes objects, situations, and performance. I believe that playing is something we cannot deny.
