After our building phase in late June & early July we from the FuturamaLab are on our way back to Chemnitz to ride around town with our CAR(s) WE LIKE as part of the 3000 Garagen Project of the European Cultural Capital Initiative. We are very much looking forwad to this collaboration with the ConstuctLab!
THE CARS WE LIKE
A humorous exploration of the future of the car
THE CARS WE LIKE is an art project that re-uses and re-purposes materials to construct vehicles through a variety of building techniques. Situated at the crossroads of art, technology, and urbanism, these mobile objects playfully undermine prevailing conventional concepts of urban mobility. Appearing in traffic as absurd and dadaistic vehicles, they humorously question the ways we move through our cities.
During a live building performance from June 28 to July 5, 2025, a human-powered truck was created with the collaboration of Michelle Grünberg, Carlos Kämpfe, and Tim Ellinger (trainees from the VW plant Chemnitz).
As part of THE SCHOOL OF GARAGE* (August 24–31, 2025), this truck will be technically refined together with workshop participants to take on diverse logistical tasks. In a series of street interventions, goods, metaphors, people, and ideas will be transported between the nine garages, creating a functional connection between these temporary studios and their artists.
The workshop will be accompanied by the collective -h- of the Cellule d'Action Rituelle (Cell for Ritual Action) of the ZAD NDDL - the biggest occupied zone in Europe. They will help us reflect on the relation of territoriality, capitalism and mobility and devise queer-ritualistic approaches with us that we will present on the 30th of August.
Our vehicle will be on display again in the Garagen Campus of the European Cultural Capital Chemnitz 2025 from September until end of November.
