THE DnA FACTORY @ BANK CONTEMPORARY

News from THE DnA FACTORY MRSS [aka Dallas & Angel]. Our two, all-singing all-dancing modified bumper cars are back on show for the festive season and a bit beyond…THE SILVER DREAM MESSAGE MACHINE [HANG ON TO YER HAT, WE’RE IN FOR A BUMPY RIDE!] + THE BIG GREEN MYTH MACHINE [SCREAM LOUDER, IF YOU WANT TO GO FASTER]

Originally created in 2021 for the exhibition ‘Pull Up To My Bumper’ in Waterloo, curated by West Bank Gallery, this pair featured alongside twenty other modified bumper cars, with artists taking these iconic objects; refurbishing and engineering them into totally re-purposed art installations.

What’s it all about?
Bumper Car One: A consumptive economy reveals itself to be the most basic, the only ‘economy’ of a global market…CONSUME…resources, stuff and more stuff, more more more, take, take…+ Bumper Car Two: When the last tree is cut down, the last fish eaten, the last stream poisoned, only then will you realise that you can’t eat money.

Materials: 2 x Half a Fairground Bumper Car, Sculpted Resins, Recycled Metals, Fabrics, Machine Parts + Turbo Lights, Pin Spots, LED Flashing String, Ice Disco UFO, Fibreoptics + Plastic Sphere, Perspex, Mirror, Desiccated & Fake Vegetation, Paints, Glazes

If you have a chance, do pop along and take a look at our two bumpers plus a host of works by the Bank Contemporary artists.
