Stijn van Dorpe, ‘Clio’ (2009)

Together with a teacher and the students of a local technical secondary school, Van Dorpe worked towards an image that translated the power and energy of both the low budget exhibition initiative and the youngsters. A black Renault Clio was turned upside down and the necessary adjustments were made to enable the car to keep on running, however without moving forward. During a performance at the opening night of the exhibition, the physical power that the car developed was shown as a dynamic spectacle – accompanied by a drummer and T-shirts printed with technical details of the car.

Today students of group 1B of the Fioretti College in Veghel created this instant land-art work behind their school. Together they made a great piece of work! (a path with modern mini-stonehenge)

I was asked as a guest-teacher for this project by Jeanne van Heeswijk, but the students did all the hard work!
