Jonathan Schipper, ‘Slow inevitable death of American muscle’ (2008)
This sculpture is a machine that advances two full sized automobiles slowly into one another over a period of 6 days, simulating a head on automobile collision. Each car moves about three feet into the other. The movement is so slow as to be invisible.

Golden oldie:
Schippers constructed this sculpture for the lobby of the Ministry of Public health, Well-being and Sports. You can now find it in the lobby of Museum Boijmans van Beuningen in Rotterdam.

Lea Lagasse, ‘You, you, you, my turn…’ (2008)
This installation uses an invisible hanging system for two dimensional pieces which rotates the work by 90 degrees every ten minutes. The furtive movement plays with the codes of art display. Here an abstract painting from François Morellet receives this soft yet iconoclastic treatment.
