BMW presented the 20th BMW Art Car to the public for the first time at the Centre Pompidou in Paris. Designed by contemporary artist Julie Mehretu, the project transforms a BMW M Hybrid V8 race car into a performative work of art, continuing a longstanding tradition of BMW Art Cars and competitive racing. Just a few weeks after its premiere, the newest edition in the storied BMW Art Car collection will compete in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
寶馬在巴黎蓬皮杜藝術中心首次向公衆展示了第20輛寶馬藝術車。該項目由當代藝術家 Julie Mehretu 設計，將 BMW M Hybrid V8 賽車轉變爲表演藝術品，延續了寶馬藝術汽車和競技賽車的悠久傳統。在首次亮相僅幾周後，傳奇的寶馬藝術汽車系列的最新版本將參加勒芒24小時耐力賽。
"The whole BMW Art Car project is about invention, about imagination, about pushing limits of what can be possible," says Mehretu. "I don't think of this car as something you would exhibit. I am thinking of it as something that will race in Le Mans. It's a performative painting. The BMW Art Car is only completed once the race is over."
梅雷圖說：“整個寶馬藝術汽車項目都是關於發明、想象力、突破可能性的極限。”“我不認爲這輛車是你會展出的東西。我認爲它將在勒芒賽上比賽。這是一幅表演性畫作。寶馬藝術車只有在比賽結束後才能完成。”
"The BMW Art Cars are an essential part of our global cultural commitment," says Oliver Zipse, Chairman of the Board of Management of BMW AG. "For almost 50 years, we have been cooperating with artists who are just as fascinated by mobility and design as they are by technology and motorsports. Julie Mehretu's vision for a racing car is an extraordinarily strong contribution to our BMW Art Cars series. Julie Mehretu has created more than an amazing Art Car. Her ideas provided the impetus for us to expand the cultural commitment of our Art Cars to promote the creativity of young artists in Africa."
寶馬集團管理委員會主席奧利弗·齊普斯說：“寶馬藝術汽車是我們全球文化承諾的重要組成部分。”“近50年來，我們一直在與藝術家合作，這些藝術家既對交通和設計着迷，也對科技和賽車運動着迷。朱莉·梅雷圖對賽車的願景是對我們寶馬藝術汽車系列的巨大貢獻。朱莉·梅雷圖創造的不僅僅是一輛神奇的藝術車。她的想法爲我們擴大藝術車的文化承諾提供了動力，以促進非洲年輕藝術家的創造力。”
The collaboration includes a joint commitment to a series of Pan African Translocal Media Workshops for artists and filmmakers in various African cities in 2025 and 2026.
該合作包括共同承諾在2025年和2026年爲非洲各城市的藝術家和電影製作人舉辦一系列泛非跨本地媒體研討會。
