John Kormeling’s Mobile FunPresented by: The Power Plant
North American exhibition premiere of artist/architect John Körmeling
Dutch artist John Kormeling’s Mobile Fun, is a 100-foot high, functional Ferris wheel constructed to carry passengers in automobiles rather than regular carriages. Through the summer months, visitors to The Power Plant are invited to ride the Ferris wheel inside one of four SAAB 9-2X automobiles chosen by the artist and donated for the duration of the exhibition. In his first North American exhibition a selection of drawings, maquettes and sculpture will showcase the artist’s highly unconventional, critical approach to our built environment, and highlight his strategies for skewing concepts of public/private art. Kormeling’s consistent use of unusual materials and his fascination with contemporary urbanity combine topical issues in design, architecture and city planning. (The Mobile Fun Ferris wheel operates 10 a.m. to
11 p.m. daily from June 3 to August 8. $5 admission.)
