Hummer H3 Gets Wagon Wheels - Literally
On display at East London art gallery

http://img.worldcarfans.com/US/2008/10/16/9081016.006/9081016.006.1L.jpg

No, it’s not a Wild West special-edition Hummer. This H3 with authentic wagon wheels installed in place of its 32-inch offroading tires is a work of art by Matthew Harrison. Entitled, “Hummer,” the H3 is on display courtesy of the Limoncello gallery in East London. It will be displayed at the Zoo Art Fair (Oct. 17-20) on Old Burlington Road, opposite the Royal Academy.

Described as a “mixture of art, engineering and motoring,” the H3 has been refitted with wooden wagon wheels, as seen in the photos. There was no comment as to how the wheels affect the H3’s off-road ability or cornering performance.

I know this is just supposed to be a piece of art, but still... images/smilies/lmao.gif

He loses points for a very un-original idea.
With all the dubs and larger chrome wheels on the market (and tire profiles getting thinner and thinner) the joke has always been wagon wheels will be next.

Art? I'm sure.

So does Fiddy count as spearheading the vanguard of avant-garde postmodern interpretation of class and social divides?

Never said it was good art...


...having said that, it's better than the Jeep Cherokee in the modern art museum in Bordeaux that was completely covered in leather (cuz Cherokees are indian, do you see?)

I don't care if it's art or not, it's damn funny and makes Hummer drivers look even more stupid (because people will think of this when they see big bling wheels). Some good work too to get wooden wheels to support a H3. Top notch!

Now I read the bit about the gallery though, I see no point in that.

They should have retrofitted it with lolspringz and it would have been complete... images/smilies/lol.gif

Or simply just gotten a Corvette in the first place...

The rolling resistance must be so much less with those on. I wonder if it helps the mpg's.

There's one in the London Design Museum, there's one in the permanent collection of the Guggenheim Art Museum. Hell, the entire brand is about art.

how is that art... i thought u at least needed a mediocome of effort first. getting a hummer, slapping some wooden wheels on it and then calling it "hummer" just isnt art. its stupid, and not to mention entirely un-original.
