CENTER

9/6/06 to 9/10/06

MAK Center at the Schindler House, 835 North Kings Road, West Hollywood, CA

In "Carmada," Sonja Vordermaier explored the notion of Los Angeles as a steadily moving city. On Saturday, August 26, 2006, along with 14 other local and international artists, Vordermaier spent a day driving through neighborhoods and on freeways in cars decked out as self-contained, mini art exhibitions (see also: www.carmada.org). The car projects employed sound, collage, interactivity, and more as they engaged themes of the car-as-living-room and symbol of freedom, identity, and privacy. The day concluded with a parking lot party and film screening. In the final exhibition "Center," the artist presented photographic and film documentation of the "Carmada" expedition.
