BRICK CAR
Exhibited at «2 x 1» from May 14 through May 30, 2010. Matadero. Madrid (Spain).


"Coche de ladrillo" (Brick Car) is a life-size car built in brick. It occupies a parking space between two vehicles parked in the street.

The three-dimensional, pixilated car is modeled after a modern automobile and was built using solid, Madrid Red-colored bricks. The wheels are one foot thick. The car weighs five tons.

All methods and materials used are common to any traditional brick wall. A mason and project engineer were enlisted to construct the car.

Musicians will be scattered around Herrería, Zapatería, Correría and Sierva de Jesús streets. The action will take place on Saturday, September 12th at noon and will last two hours. The Joven Orquesta Gregorio Solabarrieta will play the suite from Prokofiev’s "Romeo y Julieta", Charles Ives’ "The Unanswered Question", a selection from Tchaikovsky’s "The Nutcracker", Strauss’ "Eljen a Magyar" and "Off to the Hunt!", and Khachaturian’s "Sabre Dance".  

The different musical pieces will be broadcast over a local radio station so that all musicians can play in synch despite being at a distance. Musicians will carry tiny radio receivers and earphones so they can listen to the music as they play. The radio program itself will encourage citizens to go out on the streets to experience the action live.


An mmmm... action commissioned by the Vitoria-Gasteiz City Council as part of their Alhóndiga Plan within the Disonancias program.
