Synopsis

Car The automobile is one of the defining technologies of our era. This issue looks at the psychological and physical aspects of the car interior through the lens of art, design, video, film, and photography. From the work of Matthew Barney and Lorna Simpson, to the representation of the car interior in film noir, we look at the car as a psychologically charged space caught between public and private. Visual Artists Matthew Barney Adam Bartos Andrew Bush Sophie Calle Nan Goldin Daniel Storto Andrea Zittel Writers Paul Arthur Giuliana Bruno Lucy Flint-Gohlke David Frankel Judith Hoos Fox Greil Marcus Phil Patton Tobi Tobias James Wolcott

Reviews

hotographs, sculpture, film and other objets d'art provoke several artists and critics to consider the social and artistic roles of the car in Inside Cars, Volume 5, Number 2, of 2wice, a booklike arts journal edited by J. Abbott Miller and Patsy Tarr, with guest editor Judith Hoos Fox. Essayists include Giuliana Bruno, David Frankel and Lucy Flint-Gohlke, treating subjects as various as Nan Goldin's photos of people in taxis; the limo that endlessly circles Manhattan in Matthew Barney's fantastical avant-garde movie Drawing Restraint 7; Sam Peckinpah's violent film The Getaway, about fugitive lovers; Dan Devine's sculpture Inside Out Car (White with Brown Interior); and the Lego-like, multifunctional, habitable Nissan Chappo Concept Car. This high concept, high production-value volume accompanies an exhibit called Surrounding Interiors: Views Inside the Car organized by the Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley College.
