Ten critically-acclaimed artists working in photography - Todd Eberle, Noritoshi Hirakawa, Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, Glenn Ligon, Sharon Lockhart, Catherine Opie, Paul Seawright, Beat Streuli, Wolfgang Tillmans and Gillian Wearing - were invited to produce new works exploring various aspects of this leading international automobile corporation. The participating artists traveled to many areas of the world to research, document and create new artworks in response to BMW's design, manufacturing and distribution operations. From Sharon Lockhart's comparison of assembly line workers performing the same task in different parts of the world, to Wolfgang Tillmans' reflection on polished car surfaces, to Beat Streuli's observation of how pedestrians interact with cars - the works produced for AutoWerke offer a uniquely imaginative look at the car-conscious popular culture of life today.
