Ride1

About this book

With a playful but somewhat mischievous attitude, Ride 1 has, since 2004, made the art world slightly insidious with their humorous interpretations of American pop culture. Installations of photography, video and rides - a kind of hybridization that will surprise the daredevil gallery visitor, make up a context where the divide between reality and fiction becomes uncertain. The installations could be read as comments on the general impact popular culture, or more specifically, the entertainment industry, with its intense adrenaline levels and taste for the spectacular, imposes on culture and society. Exhibition: Lars Bohman Gallery, Stockholm, Sweden (06.11.-07.12.2014).
