I think how much hatred and revulsion I feel looking at this is the brilliance here.
When the parkinglot is so big, that you need additional public transport to get to your location.

That's the new slogan for Disney World, I heard!
That's a long walk from the car.
Don't it always seem to go,
That you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone...
They painted over paradise,
And drew up a parking lot.
Looks like a Joni Mitchell nightmare.
I dunno I feel like the worlds greatest parking lot would have those slanted spots, maybe some food trucks.
Also there don't seem to be enough cart returns so cart cunts would have a field day.
No bathrooms, no handicap spaces, no stop signs at the intersections, I mean come on.
I think there is room for improvement here.
it's the greatest ever parking lot in the same sense as the usa is the greatest country on earth.
it actually kinda sucks.
I thought it was a picture of my hometown
i feel like a bus or smth to get to the other side of the lot would be nice...
So many questions.. Where is it exactly? What does it serve?
It's an acrylic painting. It was in the Crocker Art Museum, but idk if its moved.

I get hating looking at this, but I actually love looking at it. It's such a weird space. I wonder about it. I want to be there, to see what that's like.
It's an urban hellscape with no wildlife radiating heat back to the upper atmosphere instead of sequestering it into the biosphere. I cannot even grasp how you romanticize that
It feels liminal, I wouldn't want this IRL but as a piece of art I love it and would honestly have it hanging on my wall.
It does have a certain liminality I admit
What's urban about it? There's no city in sight.
I don't particularly like being around wildlife, and I like novel experiences. It's interesting.

What the fuck, man.
This is giving me mad Vivarium vibes. Anyone seen that film? It wasn't good but boy was it eerie
Terrifying.
Okay we're here, now to find a good spot...
And some asshole will still park right next to you. Like 3 inches from your car. And there are dozens of open spots.
Nobody wants to ~~die~~ piss alone.
"Captain, there's something we need to discuss."
"Go away, Spock!"
Ahhh pastoral America. Looks like home ♥️
I am not parking at the back of the lot.
Great piece.
This must've been an absolute bitch to paint. All those lines. Damn. But I like it. I wouldn't want to look at it all the time, but a nice painting.
