"A performance around the world with a tricycle
carriying a representation of the universe"
WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
In 2011, French Artist Niko de La Faye presented for the first time his sculpture called ‘M2B’. Since, he traveled from Beijing to Hong-Kong (2012-2013) - completing 3.400 KM, and 80 days performance – and was invited to ride in the streets of Paris (2014-2015) and New York (2016).
2011年法国艺术家Nikode La Fay第一次展示了名为“M2B”的造型作品。此后他与这件作品一路从北京去往香港（2012-2013）——完成了3400公里，为时80天的行为艺术表演——伺候又被邀请展巴黎（2014-2015）和纽约（2016）的大街上骑行。
M2B is a representation of the Universe placed upon a traditional Chinese tricycle. In a time and environment in which development and productivity holds such a strong focus, Niko de La Faye's intention was to create a contrasting slow bubble, a "poetic interference" that appears within the hectic Chinese contemporary traffic. It then became a worldwide traveling performance.
M2B在一架传统的中国三轮车上展示了宇宙的模型。在一个崇尚生产力和快速经济发展的时代与环境中，Niko de La Faye 试图创造一粒缓慢的泡泡，一个对于中国当代交通而言“诗意的干扰”。之后它顺势演变成一个世界范围内的行为艺术表演。
The Artist will screen first a selection of videos shot and edited since 2011 in China until last year in the US (40 minutes). Then ‘Sound Sculpture’ and other musician guests will improvise live on a video condensing the 35.000 km of this project through China, France and the US in a 30 minutes sequence.
艺术家将放映一个从2011年起一直到去年在美国的视频合集（40分钟）。之后“Sound Sculpture”以及其他乐队嘉宾将现场为一个30分钟的视频即兴伴奏，带大家一起重温穿越了中国，法国和美国的35000公里的旅程。
MORE ABOUT
NIKO DE LA FAYE
他是一个自学成才的艺术家，善于使用各式各样的工具和材料进行摄影、动态雕塑、服装、艺术装置和行为表演的创作。他的艺术探索主要围绕两个主题进行：一方面他专注于形体和几何构造，另一方面则是运动和空间。在与创作型人才的合作与碰撞中，他的创作往往因本能驱使，而受到同道中人，以及工作环境的影响。
A self-taught artist, Niko works with a large variety of tools and materials to create photographs, kinetic sculptures, costumes, installations, videos and performances. His inspiration and research are organized along two axes: body and geometry, and movement and space. He creates instinctively, and the foundations of his work lie in collaboration and encounters with people he meets and environments in which he finds himself living and working.
