I have in my posession a childs toy car, as seen in the image. i originally wanted it for its wheels so i could continue making mobile gallerys but the longer i look at it the more potential i see in it. i think it has an almost iconic british image to it and i dont know wether i want to use it or not, whether it be as a vessel or a ready made, it seems to hold so much imigary with it, would painting it or removing parts just deem it useless?is it just enough to appreciate the asthetics of it?

  1. i love it like it is.i know not many people can fit in it apart from children but id like it 2 be driven a bit like those ones that are in Leeds already like this but bigger and have like a billboard attached to the back like a trailer on wheels with advertisements.maybe you could have a board on wheels similar to this that trails behind with artwork on.saying this maybe you could get a bike and do something similar for a traveling gallery

  2. I noticed it is quite an old post and I wondered what has happened to the car.
    Can you get inside it, or is it too small? It seems like a street performance to me. Moblie galleries, mobile artists, romantic road trips, immersing the self in a journey?
    Also Alter Modern, the idea that increased travel and migration affect the way we live.
    I would say that this idea has legs, but it actually has wheels!
    Hurry up and post something so I know what you did with it
