When you walk in a place like the MOCO Museum, you expect to see the names that formed modern and contemporary art-and Jeff Koons, Keith Haring and Jean-Michel Basquiat, among others. Unless I expected to find it during a recent visit to the MOCO website in London, it was something of the world of cars.
However, there was: Daniel Araham Calcate Blue Porsche 911 Sculpture. The New York -based artist had created a vision of time and decline, which was filmed in the glass fibers, steel and minerals.
At first glance, all 1980 Porsche SCS lines are all present. But then, I noticed the Arsham signing touches. The sections of the car that seem to have collapsed are replaced by the blue Calcenet crystals and quartz. It seems as if Porsche has been buried for several centuries before it was discovered as an artifact.
Seeing the Porsche 911 in the museum is not new – we celebrate the finest Stuttgart exhibitions all over the world. But here at the MOCO Museum in London, there are 911 as a bridge between the culture of the car and art.
He made me think about the eternal 911 attractiveness, and how even in the case of “decay” is still uninterrupted.
As a person spent years in the race tracks, in the garages, and in a car he meets, seeing Porsche in any way is always distinctive. But this is different hair.
In the end, an experiment Calcate Blue Porsche 911 It was personally a strong reminder that cars not only live on the road or in the garage – they have a cultural weight and importance that exceeds speed and performance.
