Deconstructing Systems: A Car
This July artists Olivier Oosterbaan and Victor Engbers will completely take apart a Fiat Panda in 10 days. By deconstructing a car in a public space rather than in a garage, they want to trigger an open discussion about the possibilities of dissecting complex objects and systems.
Speaker
Dirk van Weelden (author, essayist) reacts to Engbers' and Oosterbaan's action of dismantling a functional Fiat Panda in a public space in 10 days. This slow explosion of the car into discrete parts has ironic, reflective, didactical and critical dimensions. There's a fun part as well, the rush of doing something you do not fully master, and there's even a destructive tinge to it. Van Weelden will try to put it all together for you.
