Street Sweeper was a project in coordination Marginal Utility and the Asian Art Initiative's Pearl Street Block Party on September 28, 2013.
For the 3 days prior to the Block Party, the Meatball Boys collected refuse from the surrounding blocks of 12th and Pearl Street in Philadelphia. On the day of the event, party goers were invited to assist the Meatball Boys in painting the various items that were collected from the neighborhood. Once painted, these items were then redistributed into the streets as sculptural offerings.
