Empire Drive-in

posted September 25, 2013 #

The Empire Drive-In is , at the root of it, a pop-up drive-in movie theater with wrecked cars all around for seating. Further digging reveals that the junked cars aren't just aesthetic, they serve a thoughtful purpose:
The project invites audiences to participate in a series of questions about car culture, planned obsolescence, and the distinction between public and private space.
Sounds a bit heady but if you read about their process, it's quite sensible. Particularly the part about using more contemporary junked cars to take aim at our disposable culture that has developed.

All that and you get to see a movie. I'm going to be on the lookout for events. via Adam.
