You've likely seen this Mad Max-era RV parked around the neighborhood in recent months.
Back in March, BoweryBoogie spotted the vehicle with corrugated siding and barred-over windows parked at the Baruch Houses. (We've seen it moored on East Fourth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B.)
BoweryBoogie reported that this Urban Assault Vehicle had "instilled a sense of intrigue (nay, suspicion) among the population." (Curbed wrote that "this might be the scariest vehicle, recreational or otherwise, we have ever seen.)
For the past three weeks, the RV — which has a bed and some flowers inside its rather nondescript interior — has been parked on East Houston … anywhere between Avenue A and Avenue C. A few residents apparently have complained "because of garbage in the street and [the owner] sitting there idling, causing noise and fumes," one resident told us.
One resident also said that the owner, who apparently lives inside, was BBQing on the street, which prompted a visit by the FDNY.
Anyway, the owner has introduced himself as "an artist working at the Whitney Museum."
You can see Jared Madere's work starting Oct. 16 at the Whitney.
Perhaps the artist will even arrange a shuttle service between here and the Whitney.
