This is a
Yoke and Zoom Project, Tony knox was one of the artist invited to
take part.
Inspired by Tokyo vending machines, Yoke and Zoom wanted to explore
the idea of distributing small art multiples around the world. Our
experience of vending machines in the UK was mainly that of cigarette
and condom machines found in pubs.Aware of existing art vending
machines in the UK tending to be permenently located in art gallery
shops, we liked the idea of art multiples being available in a wider
area of the public domain and accessible to more people. Using a
condom machine to vend art gave us a perfect opportunity to explore
these possibilities. The first phase of the project involved contacting
Durex in the UK to see if they could lend us a condom machine. Durex
agreed to the use of a machine upon our return from Japan. In the
meantime we designed and produced our own box. When Yoke and zoom
arrived in Japan our agent Hitomi Hasegawa (Work in Progress) arranged
for us to meet with Sagami, a Japanese condom manufacturer based
in Tokyo.
