Eric van Hove: Sculpture that Goes 'Vroom'
Manage episode 274025642 series 1537964
Eric van Hove makes sculpture that goes “vroom”. For the past few years, this conceptual artist has been working in Morocco on a project called the Mahjouba Initiative, which involves building a series of motorbikes using only traditional craft materials. Eric calls this work “a socio-economic sculpture”, the idea being that the pieces can be exhibited as artworks but also used as the prototype for a new vehicle.
Anna McNamee meets Eric and his team as he works on the latest model – the Mahjouba III – which was to be put on show at the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair in Marrakech in 2018.
This story was recorded back in December 2017.
