The increasing ability to move from one place to another creates as much possibilities as commotion, both among those who are and those who arrive. Due to that, 'original' and 'authentic' are becoming less valid notions, or at least, less distinct. Animal life appears to be not so much different from the life of humans. Usually introduced by other factors than pure will, the consequences of new settlers have a huge impact on public space and its collective use. Life, once more, continues to be free and easy is a project developed for O_P PROCESSOS_OBERTS, Terassa, Spain, July 2004. It is conceived as a campaign for the Monk parakeets. The Monk (or Quaker parakeet) manifests itself more and more in the public realm of Terrassa since they first arrived in Spain in the 1970s.
After the project the picnic blankets stay in Terrassa: they are given to different schools and 'esplais'. Esplais are leasure groups for children, similar to boyscouts but not religious. During weekends and summer time, Esplais organize activities and games, such as drawing, going to the park, and many others. Esplai is a Catalan word that means free time to enjoy. The picnic blankets are accompanied by information material on the birds.Life continues to be free and easy (1959)
