Autodidact’s Transport
Delhi-based artist collective Raqs Media Collective’s folly have transformed a train of the Gwangju Metro into the Autodidact’s Transport. The artists have undertaken a conceptual re-invocation of Erasmus’s In Praise of the Folly(1668) on the Gwangju Metro as a way of extending the Folly project beyond the frame of static presence in built spaces.
