Pink Pony Express

Pink Pony Express is a four person interdisciplinary collective that works in areas characterized by extreme conditions. These conditions are often the result of economic or political instability - and manifest in friction between citizens and the local government. We embed ourselves in the local context and work like journalists – only instead of words – we make images. Our public installations are always realized on location, and in direct relation to the community where the project originates. ‘The basic strategy of the Ponies is ‘research throughmaking’, with every exploration taking material form.These forms occupy, or are brought back to the places under study. What is returned may not be immediately recognizable to the members of those communities; their work thus gives back what was never possessed in the first place.’[Andrew Herscher] Pink Pony Express has worked in Detroit (2010), Heerlen, NL (2011), Amsterdam, NL (2012-13) andon the island of St. Eustatius, NL (2012).
