4-H W/ GAVIN TURK
Project Details4-H with Gavin Turk.
4-H Is an intriguing piece of work created in collaboration with (YBA artist) Gavin Turk and was funded by Arts Council England.
It celebrates the joy of riding a bicycle while highlighting the need for more thoughtful, sustainable and pleasurable ways to travel inspired by Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel, 1913, and was curated by Alice Sharp.
4-H was designed for The View Tube, (at The Greenway London), within the Olympic Park redevelopment which was a a straight strip of land.
We decided wouldn’t it be great if we could design a low-tech transport device that went in roughly a straight line, but 4 people had to collaborate for the object to work. We then ran night time sessions for people to come and collaborate.
4-H was made from Steel and re-engineered Uni-Cycles, and the entire piece was decorated using hand enamel painted wooden beads inspired by Cadere.
The piece went on to be exhibited in Barbican London at the Bicycle Film Festival.
