Where the Rick-Show unfolds, the world of cinema pops up!
After a hiatus of two long years, Punekars experience the magic of open-air cinema again, in a new light! Developed by multidisciplinary artist Le Gentil Garçon (aka The Nice Guy) and the Design Department from the College of Architecture Trivandrum, the ‘Rick-Show’ is an interactive installation focused on travel, cultural exchange and storytelling with the aim of bringing art to the streets.
Thematic art films from the archives of the Regional Fund of Contemporary Art Occitanie-Montpellier, the Contemporary Art Fund of the City of Geneva, and The Nice Guy themself, will be projected on a cinema screen fixed onto the back of a rickshaw. The origin of this project lies in the desire of the artist, to showcase art films to communities that have little access to contemporary artwork.
