Artist's Inspiration and Context
ORR will need new skills to regulate Lower Thames Crossing, review finds
The DBIST review says the regulator must build capability before the Lower Thames Crossing proceeds, with the Department for Transport to reply later this autumn.
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.
