Trump campaign bus becomes anti-Trump artwork
Jason Noble, The Des Moines Register 8:12 p.m. EDT October 19, 2015
DES MOINES, Iowa — A bus that traveled the state of Iowa this summer as a mobile advertisement for Donald Trump’s presidential campaign is now headed to Miami as a piece of conceptual art.
And it’s not exactly supportive of Trump’s candidacy.
A trio of artists working on behalf of a Philadelphia-based artist purchased the bus from its Des Moines-area owners over the weekend. They’ve spent the last three days retrofitting it to create an art installation on wheels that they hope will spark conversations on political rhetoric, misogyny and xenophobia.
“The notion is to kind of drive Mr. Trump possibly out of the race,” said David Gleeson, the artist managing the effort. “I think a lot of people expect him to eventually leave the race, and maybe this can help to initiate that process.”
