The 20th BMW ART CAR by artist Julie Mehretu in a production by Tereza MUNDILOVA c/o SHOTVIEW ARTISTS MANAGEMENT
Ethiopian-American artist Julie Mehretu, who lives in New York, has designed a BMW Art Car, making her now the 20th artist to have done so – transforming the BMW M Hybrid V8 race car into a high-speed performative work of art. She was photographed with the model by Tereza MUNDILOVA c/o SHOTVIEW. Ena Aichinger supported the production as visual consultant, and RECOM took care of post.
To design the meanwhile 20th BMW Art Car, she transformed a two-dimensional image into a three-dimensional representation for the first time, with which she succeeded in bringing dynamism into form. As the starting point for which, Julie Mehretu used the color and form vocabulary of her monumental painting ‘Everywhen’ (2021 – 2023. On view as part of the artist’s retrospective at Palazzo Grassi in Venice at the moment, the work will later become part of the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York.
Alongside the Art Car, Julie Mehretu’s collaboration with BMW also extends to the PanAfrican Translocal Media Workshops, which will take place in various African cities in 2025 and 2026. The workshops are aimed at giving emerging artists space for collaborative work and exchanging ideas, culminating in a major exhibition at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) in Cape Town.
