Curatorial note

From its curbside perch on Wilder Street, the vehicle's front-end exposure anchors the street-side plane since its January 2026 acquisition. The exposed radiator and framework, where the bumper is absent, create a diagonal that catches light differently from the rest of the hood. Commissioned by the Police Department, this work registers with daily passersby as a persistent element within the neighborhood’s rhythm.
