Artist's Inspiration and Context
The Spinney in Sidcup to close for four months for water works
MGroup Water will carry out mains replacement on behalf of Thames Water, with restrictions in place only when indicated by signs.
The inflatable car is a replica of the artist's father's Toyota Corolla E100, a model originally imported from Japan in the 1980s and a popular car in Taiwan. Chihying created this piece to comment on limited parking space in Taipei, where an unoccupied spot is quickly taken. The inflatable car can occupy a street parking space and be stored in a car boot when not in use.
The work prompts questions about access to urban public spaces, according to information provided by the artist. The exhibition also includes three video installations, one depicting the artist running on a supermarket conveyor belt, and two documentaries.
