If you are one of those who suffers from a scratch in your car, escape this matter! Have you ever wondered if this tiny trace was in a Lamborghini? What if they were VARIOUS of them? That is what the ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum museum, located in Arhus, Denmark, proposed. In October last year, a Lamborghini Gallardo was exposed for 3 weeks waiting for “authorized vandals”.

The model, which costs from R $ 600, 000, was part of the exhibition "No Man is an Island" and received different inscriptions from the people who visited the site. Despite the initial skepticism, many people joined the “joke” and were part of the collective art work.

Even the initial idea was that car inscriptions lasted more than 3 weeks, but this became unfeasible because they would eventually erase the first few writings and turn his color from black to white. After this initial period, the work was “complete”, and new visitors can only appreciate the result.

Lamborghini got the bodywork full of inscriptions

What is the reason?

One of the first entries was SKODA - a very popular car brand in Denmark and cheaper than Lamborghini. Although the vehicle is no longer receiving entries, it will remain on display at the museum until September this year, when it will be returned to its owner, the Norwegian graffiti artist known as DOLK.

According to Pernille Taagaard Dinesen, ARoS curator, the idea was to show that every action a person makes leaves a mark on society. The final work was titled “Low Key, ” an expression that means giving little emphasis to a particular subject. And if you found it very absurd, that's fine: art is just made of these bizarre things that often make no sense.

The owner of the car, DOLK, said he bought it already used in Italy, precisely for the exhibition. He had no idea that the damage would be so intense: almost all the letters on the Lamborghini plate were torn off and some people tried to scratch the car windows! The graffiti artist does not intend to repaint the car after exposure.

Vehicle before visitor interventions begin

Vandalism?

Many people, however, did not like the proposal, saying that this kind of artistic intervention encourages vandalism. The museum curator believes this may even be possible, but she thinks a work of art is precisely meant to make people think and change their most hidden desires.

“If you were going out and scratching a stranger's car in a parking lot after scratching it, that would be entirely your responsibility. We urge you to scratch a car here, at ARoS, not in society, the context in which you do that is very important, ”says Pernille Dinesen.

Other critics say Lamborghini Gallardo is already a work of art in itself and that authorizing people to scratch it would be an artistic attack. DOLK argues that he chose this model precisely to cause strangeness and make people feel the pain of the risks as if they were in their own car. Did you like the result?
