These were a couple of the original that were made a 2 years years ago. These were made using recycled coat hangers newspaper and wheat paste, but they take to long to make this way. Started using inflatable forms to crank em out a bit quicker cuzz we gonna need a ton.
This is a pretty lame installation view of one of the rider truck installations that was done in collaboration with Mobile Exhibitions in Chicago and with the Neubees Show at the Dumbo Arts Fest in Brooklyn
This is the "proposed" look of the install, I'd tell you what underpass it is but then I'd have to kill you. A number of arts orgs and public school art classes will be contributing to the final conglomeration of what will be allota of fricking pinatas. I came up for the idea when I saw IDOT evicting the homeless that lived underneath highway underpasses and fencing them in. It reminded me of the rubber ball bins that are sometimes still in grocery stores. These sort of caged festive toys taunting, to the effect that you can't have what's inside.
We painted the pick-up to look like a streets and sanitation truck for easier install in day light, Eric is applying the official number on the truck for optimum authenticity
These are the mylar emergency blankets that we stuffed the pinatas with and piled in front of the install
