Project TAXI

TAXI is an ongoing collective site-specific project that takes place inside a taxi, for which each artist was invited to propose a sound piece to be played within the car. TAXI originates from Anri Sala’s “No Formula One No Cry” (curated by Florian Agalliu at Manifesta 2002 Frankfurt), consisting of a soundtrack in which sounds of Formula One cars are heard along the barking of stray dogs. The presentation of Sala’s soundtrack is done in different taxies around the world, from Frankfurt to Miami. The project is also accompanied by business cards that help establish direct contact with the taxi driver. Anyone interested can order the cab by calling the number on the press-card and asking the taxi driver to turn on the sound project for the duration of the trip.
