Art Cars going Nowhere

A mobile artwork, sound system and rolling excuse to make new friends. We built art cars in Amsterdam, drove them to Nowhere and discovered that getting there really is half the point.

Using Amsterdam Dance Event as the occasion for a street protest in the form of a rave. An annual reminder that dance culture came out of subcultures that are now under threat.

Burning Man has a temple. Amsterdam got a cradle. We created a participatory installation where people could leave something behind, then burned the lot during a barefoot festival ritual.

No fences, no tickets, no spectators and barely any budget. We started an Amsterdam regional Burn so the culture of Burning Man could exist a little closer to home, entirely through participation.

Winter depression met inflatable crocodiles. Amsterdam Plens Event was a deliberately childish indoor pool party for adults, complete with retro music, synchronised swimming and a Red Belly Contest nobody really needed.

No sponsor, no permit, no complicated programme. Just hundreds of people, a pile of pillows and Amsterdam’s most symbolic square reclaimed for the friendliest fight we could organise.
