Julie Mehretu Unveils Dynamic BMW Art Car for Le Mans

The renowned artist's 3D-mapped design transforms the BMW M Hybrid V8 into a performative artwork, set to race in June 2024.

Julie Mehretu's design is inspired by her monumental painting 'Everywhen,' blending art with high-speed performance.
The BMW M Hybrid V8 Art Car marks the first hybrid model in the BMW Art Car series, continuing a tradition started in 1975.
Mehretu's work on the car includes intricate 3D mapping to ensure the artwork complements the car's aerodynamic form.
The project also features a PanAfrican Translocal media workshop series, culminating in an exhibition at Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa.
The car and its drivers will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race, aiming to merge artistic expression with racing prowess.
