Poster #15 − DRIVE // LAP 2 (Dave Krugman) Artist: Dave Krugman Collection: DRIVE // LAP 2 Exhibition: Marfa Car Show Date: November 2024 (Art Blocks Weekend) DRIVE // LAP 2 assembles 333 photographs of vehicles drawn from a decade of street work by acclaimed crypto art photographer Dave Krugman. Taken together with the artist’s 2021 collection DRIVE, the photographic work forms an archive of incidental encounters – cars as they appear in the city, unposed and unannounced. Krugman shoots each image from the same lateral angle, the camera held parallel to the street. The consistency lends the series the character of a typology, recalling the systematic catalogues of Bernd and Hilla Becher or the automotive inventories of early twentieth-century commercial photography. Yet here the classification is loose, governed by chance rather than taxonomy. A vintage Jaguar before a brownstone. A sedan in motion, streaked by city light. The archive accumulates not through intention but through the artist’s itinerary. The work was exhibited at glitch Marfa in November 2024, installed not only within the gallery but in front of it, on the street amongst a sea of cars donated for the exhibition by Marfa locals. Notably, one of the cars on display during the DRIVE: Lap 2 exhibition sold for cash during the show.
