London – 14-16 May 2010.

Chauffeur-driven to Tate Modern

 

One of the most exciting art events has been organised by the Barcelona-based curatorial office Latitudes. For the project "Mataró Chauffeur Service" Spanish artist Martí Anson will set up a taxi firm and drive the curators to London and back, designing the livery of the single vehicle fleet, his chauffeur’s uniform and route. The car itself will be parked in the Turbine Hall and form the basis of Latitudes’ temporary office. In this setting they will present films and publications relating to the projects they have curated since 2005. Anson and Latitudes approached BMW inquiring about the possibility of an automobile for their project. The company happily obliged, with employees at BMW Spain, BMW UK and BMW Headquarters in Munich involved with the "Mataró Chauffer Service" to make the artist's vision come true.

 

The artist-chauffeur

 

Catalan artist Martí Anson (Mataró, 1967) lives and works in Mataró. His art focuses on the process rather than the result. Thus the passing of time is of vital importance to Anson. Recent projects include ‘El preu dels colors’, Galeria Toni Tàpies, Barcelona (2009), ‘Martí et la chocolaterie’ for ‘Rendez-Vous 09’, 10th Biennale de Lyon, Lyon (2009), ‘Martí and the flour factory’ for ‘Lucky Number 7’, Site Santa Fe, New Mexico (2008) ‘Fitzcarraldo, 55 days working on the construction of a Stella 34 yacht in the Centre d'Art Santa Mònica’, Centre d’Art Santa Mònica, Barcelona (2005).

 

The BMW Group and Contemporary Art

 

With over 100 major projects worldwide BMW Group’s cultural program has been an essential element of corporate communications for almost 40 years. Besides architecture and design as well as classical music and jazz, contemporary art is an integral part of BMW Group’s cultural engagement. The Nationalgalerie Prize in Berlin, the “Prix BMW” at the Paris Photo or the “Premio de Pintura” awarded by BMW and the Spanish Crown – they all aim at promoting young art. BMW has been involved for many years as an associate partner of the Leipzig International Artist Programme and the young curators’ workshop during the Berlin Biennial.

Whenever the BMW Group engages in culture, it is committed to guaranteeing absolute freedom of creative potential. This freedom is just as important for ground-breaking artistic work as it is vital for innovations in a successful business enterprise.

CO2 emission information.

Fuel consumption, CO2 emission figures and power consumption and range were measured using the methods required according to Regulation VO (EC) 2007/715 as amended. They refer to vehicles on the German automotive market. For ranges, the NEDC figures take into account differences in the selected wheel and tyre size, while the WLTP figures take into account the effects of any optional equipment.

All figures have already been calculated based on the new WLTP test cycle. NEDC figures listed have been adjusted to the NEDC measurement method where applicable. WLTP values are used as a basis for the assessment of taxes and other vehicle-related duties which are (also) based on CO2 emissions and, where applicable, for the purposes of vehicle-specific subsidies. Further information on the WLTP and NEDC measurement procedures is also available at www.bmw.de/wltp.

For further details of the official fuel consumption figures and official specific CO2 emissions of new cars, please refer to the “Manual on the fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new cars”, available at sales outlets free of charge, from Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH (DAT), Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, 73760 Ostfildern-Scharnhausen and at https://www.dat.de/co2/.
