Instant Rest Stop as part of CARMADA Driving art modules August 26, 2006 1168 East Fifth Street, Los Angeles Instant Rest Stop consists of a 147 foot afghan blankets, made from 27 separate afghans. The blanket is rolled out from the back of a car, making an ideal instant picnic wherever we stop. Peanut butter sandwiches and lemonade are served as well as a local radio station can be heard from a specially made instant coffee cooler sound system. 15 local and international artists transformed cars into small exhibition units scattered in Los Angeles neighborhoods and traffic. Exploring the car as a "living room" as well as a symbol of personal freedom, identity, and privacy, a group-show was developed by Sonja Vordermaier, where exhibitions and performances took place within a convoy of vehicles. This driving exhibition poses the question of what happens when the rooms of a fixed museum begin to independently circulate and find their way to the city and its residents.
