中房総国際芸術祭 いちはらアート×ミックス2014
100台の放置自転車をアート化し、レンタサイクルとして芸術祭で活用していくプロジェクト。一般的なレンタサイクルと異なるのは、ひとつひとつが違う自転車であるということ。たとえ同じ車種だとしても、乗っていた人や使われていた環境が違うので、その1台1台に個性が宿っている。それを引き立たせるために、自転車に名前をつけていった。(50台は作者が命名、残り50台は地元の小学生や来場者が命名)
命名された自転車の名前は、市原市の鉄廃材をリメイクして作った鉄文字となり、ハンドルに取り付けられた。

ICHIHARA ART x MIX 2014
This is a project to convert 100 abandoned bicycles into art and use them as rental bicycles at an art festival. What makes this project different from other bicycle rental projects is that each bicycle is unique. Even if they are the same type of bike, each bike has its own personality because of the differences in the people who rode them and the environment in which they were used. In order to highlight this, the bicycles were given names. (Fifty bicycles were named by the artist, and the remaining 50 bicycles were named by local elementary school students and visitors.)
The names of the named bicycles were made into iron letters remade from scrap iron from Ichihara City and attached to the handlebars.
