#TAKEMEANYWHERE
May 23 – June 23, 2016
@ BMoCA

Starting at noon on May 23, LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner invited the public to take them anywhere. Each day, the trio tweeted their coordinates using the #TAKEMEANYWHERE hashtag and wait for a ride. Whoever appeared had the opportunity to take the artists wherever they so choose.

LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner repeated this process each day for the duration of the project, with their path entirely in the hands of the public.

Their journey could be tracked in real time at takemeanywhere.vice.com

The American road trip has long been symbolic of a collective yearning to seek out beauty and truth within a corrupt nation. As part of MediaLive 2016’s theme on corruption, #TAKEMEANYWHERE asks, can we find such truths within the corrupted networks of society, and preserve something of the utopian naivety of the Internet age?

#TAKEMEANYWHERE is commissioned by Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and The Finnish Institute in London. The project is realized with the support of Vice.
