A solo exhibition at Bangkok’s alternative art space and cafe located in Chinatown, 10 cars were dissected and the interior roofs painted with mural scenes adapted from a corresponding 10-volume Taximan comic series. The cab roofs were suspended from the ground floor gallery ceiling, while upstairs visitors were invited to post their thoughts on the taxi topic, as well as attend related workshops, including one specifically to recruit children to help design a related book. An illuminated taxi light installation carried through to the gallery’s street side walls, blinking away to mark Taximan‘s arrival on planet Earth. Navin Gallery Bangkok was also a collaborator, distributing comics and displaying a mural within its interior. After the exhibition the cab roofswere displayed at New York’s P.S.1 Contemporary Art Center as a part of I Love TAXI project in 2001 as well as the 3^rd Shanghai Biennale in 2002, at which Navin Production taxi comics were also distributed. The installation also included furniture manufactured from recycled tires.
