BMW is developing another art car, this time with a Chinese artist Cao Fei. The unveiling of this new project is scheduled for 2017 and the design will be done on the BWM M6 GT3.
According to the artist, the piece will be based on a “rolling sculpture” concept. Cao Fei said:
The car is key to understanding the changes occurring in contemporary Chinese society. The rapid speed of a car and the rapid changes taking place in Chinese society are my inspirations for creating the 18th BMW Art Car. But my BMW Art Car will adopt an expressive form completely different from previous ones. It will be an interpretation of the century’s theme, namely that we enter ‘a landscape of no man’s land’, e.g. autonomous cars and aircrafts and virtual reality.
This is going to be the 18th vehicle in the collection with a goal to promote the intercultural arts and communications. Cao Fei is currently one of the most important young Chinese artists. She is an active member of an international art scene and active for nearly two decades.
