Fourgon Brink’s is a 1:1 scale replica of a Mercedez-Benz 308 D armoured van, made of painted fir wood. This 2004 sculpture is part of a series of reproductions of various professional vehicles such as a tractor, pizza delivery mopeds, an appliance delivery car… For the past two years, Pascal Rivet has been reflecting on the future of a work of art, its conservation, transformation, recycling and disappearance. For the past two years, Pascal Rivet has been thinking about the future of a work of art, its conservation, transformation, recycling and disappearance. He organised a Saint John's Day fire during which he burned one of his tractors in public. This performance gave rise to a film and a video installation. In the same logic, Fourgon Brink's was presented in a permanent way, outdoors, at the HubHug Sculpture Project. Like a vehicle abandoned in the countryside after use, the sculpture is doomed to the vagaries of time in an almost cinematographic scene. Now Long Time Parking, it is also a reference to Arman's Long Term Parking.
