Title: "The Fair Grounds" at Venice Biennale 2017

URL: http://dropstuff.nl/en/

Collection: Venice Biennale 2017 on the Web

Description: DROPSTUFF.nl.Website. Title: The Fair Grounds. Concept and Design: René van Engelenburg, Gijs ten Cate, Ard van der Veldt. "From Tuesday the 9th of May until Sunday the 14th DROPSTUFF presents the media art work ‘The Fair Grounds’ during the preview days of the International Art Exhibition, La Biennale di Venezia. ... [The Fair Grounds] consists of six nostalgic so called ‘kiddy rides’: carnivalesque attractions restored to their former glory and covered in a high gloss unicolor polyester layer. Colored in the template of ‘De Stijl’, the famous Dutch modernist art movement of Piet Mondriaan and Gerrit Rietveld. The objects are placed behind one another, lining up to make a small coaster train. Passerby’s are invited to take place: they can choose between a motorbike, a horse, a race car, a helicopter, a ‘Pikachu’ and a clown seesaw. Once seated, they don a VR-headset. A big red button will activate the whole ‘coaster train’. Every ride moves autonomously from each other in its own manner."--DROPSTUFF.nl website
