Curve-Vehicle

John Bock (in 2010)

Ask anything

Ceres asked

Is this peace of art related to our daily lives? If not, what does it mean? Thanks!
Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen answered

Dear Ceres, The work refers to a shopping arcade that was supposed to be built at the Barbican Center in London. The various constructions contain a noodle bar, a clothing store and a second hand store. The installation was used as the backdrop for various 'lectures' delivered by John Bock himself and some actors. The driver of a motorized vehicle travels the length of The Curve, communicating with those working in the noodle bar and shops. These lectures were also captured on film. I hope this answers your question. Kind regards, Sofie
