		<description><![CDATA[Traffic jams. For some who live ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Traffic jams. For some who live or travel through big cities (or even in smaller ones these days), traffic jams are a fact of life. But have you ever thought of them as art? Me neither. Spanish artist Maider López has though, and the results are pretty interesting. </p>
<p>Its one thing for there to be traffic jams on urban highways and crowded city streets, but what about in the picturesque countryside of Spain? That just doesn&#8217;t happen. In 2005 López put out a call to people willing to take part and create art. (Corny &#8211; I know). The response was great, with 400 people and 160 automobiles lending themselves and their cars to the effort.</p>
<p>The whole exercise was to be an &#8220;exhibit&#8221; at the Laboral Centro de Arte y Creación Industrial in Gijón, Spain, a show designed to show the interconnection between cars and modern art.</p>
<p>Every once in a while I like to post something interesting and out of the ordinary, and I think this certainly qualifies. Take a look below for yourself. Certainly is a stark contrast between the beautiful Spanish landscape and a group of 160 parked cars.</p>
