The exhibit is called "Desert Rider" and this is how the museum describes it:
"Explore the sociopolitical realities and imaginative interpretations of automotive and skateboarding subcultures through diverse works by local Arizona and regional artists."
The exhibit had a strange mix of pieces on display among them a series of magazine covers from a magazine called "LowRider".
I chose this cover to display today since today really is Cinco de Mayo!
The "car" above is called Gypsy Rose Piñata by Justin Favela.
I'll show you a few more pieces from the exhibit tomorrow.
The southwest has a unique and vibrant car culture.
ReplyDeleteVery unusual.
ReplyDeleteIt is a strange culture of car worship. Would be interesting to see.
ReplyDeleteA pinata in the shape of a car... : )
ReplyDeleteI love the big piñata! Car culture isn't really something I "get," but it looks like a fun exhibit.
ReplyDeleteVery different.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a very cool car.
ReplyDeleteWeird.
