About the artwork:
The imagery is a direct reference to the James McNeill Ensor painting “Skeletons Fighting Over the Body of a Hanged Man”. It is currently the only piece by Swoon which is a direct adaptation of an historical work.
The piece’s title comes from the two re-engineered car motors that powered the seven rafts of the Miss Rockaway Armada down the Mississippi River from 2006- 2007.
