'SAN LUN CHE featuring the TERRAPLASTIC ARMY' is based on experiments and observations during Rainer Prohaska's residencies in Beijing.

While building modifications of the 'SAN LUN CHE', the typical Chinese three-wheel-cargo-bikes, in winter 2008, he configured this show, which exhibits variations of modified 'SAN LUN CHE'-vehicles.

Returning to Beijing in 2010, Prohaska additionally started to squat a dirty room behind his exhibition space. Compared to 2008, when he used the whole city as an artistic playground, this process now turned out to deal with the atmosphere and the restricted contingences of a single room, an off space in the 798 art district in Beijing.

A hybrid of living room, garage, studio- and exhibition-space appeared. Influenced by tons of boulder in the room, reflecting the huge dwelling-demolitions in the suburbs of Beijing and inspired by contemporary materials of China’s industry, a series of works like an installation called 'TERRAPLASTIC ARMY', was created. 

At 'ANNI ART Gallery', Prohaska shows modified 'SAN LUN CHE'-vehicles and their construction graphics. Additionally to these elements, he shows also an installation in the dirt-chamber behind the Gallery with objects, documents and photographs, created under the climatic influence of a deserted space.
