Just Crushing: A Political Demolition Derby

In Just Crushing, politically themed cars annihilate one another, transposing American political discourse into a spectacle of destruction. Allison Rowe and Nancy Nowacek will lead a diverse group of eastern Iowa teens in translating their thoughts about social issues into politically-inspired art cars, which will then compete in a civic-themed demolition derby at the Muscatine County Fair. Documentation of the project will become a multi-channel video work for exhibition.
