X CERTAMEN D’ARTS PLÀSTIQUES DIJOUS BO - 2019

The jury recently selected the exceptional work of art Volga Car Dump made out of glass by Jan Doms in the context of the 10th Competition for Plastic Arts DIJOUS BO in Inca, Mallorca, Spain. The exhibition of the nominated art works can now be seen in the Sa Quartera Art Center in Inca and will be open for the public from Nov. 13 to Dec. 14 / 2019.

Volga Car Dump is one of the glass wall sculptures created by Jan Doms as a result of his working period in Armenia. 

 

In the streets of the northern city of Gyumri in Armenia, Jan Doms encountered stacks of old broken Volga cars, that served as a kind of public garages. The still usable parts of this broken cars were taken to keep the dozens of old Volga cars - mostly in use as taxi - on the road. A kind of spontaneous example of a circular economy avant la lettre.

 

To create the tempered glass Volga cars, use was made of waterjet cutting technology with the help of Glass Studio Stef Hagemeier - 360 Glass.
