For the next month, LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner invite the public to take them anywhere.

Each day, the trio will tweet their coordinates using the #TAKEMEANYWHERE hashtag, and wait for a ride. Whoever then appears will have the opportunity to take the artists wherever they so choose.

LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner will repeat this process each day for the duration of the project, with their path entirely in the hands of the public. Their journey can be tracked in real time online at takemeanywhere.vice.com and viewed in person at Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art in Boulder, Colorado and The Finnish Institute in London, England.

The American road trip has long been symbolic of a collective yearning to seek out beauty and truth within a corrupt nation. As part of MediaLive 2016’s Corruption theme, #TAKEMEANYWHERE asks, can we find such truths within the corrupted networks of society, and preserve something of the utopian naivety of the Internet age?

#TAKEMEANYWHERE is commissioned by Boulder Museum of Contemporary Art and The Finnish Institute in London. 

Art collective LaBeouf, Rönkkö & Turner comprises Luke Turner (b. Manchester, UK), Nastja Säde Rönkkö (b. Helsinki, Finland) and Shia LaBeouf (b. Los Angeles, USA). Their practice explores connection, collaboration and creation across the networks. Past projects and performances include #STARTCREATING and #IAMSORRY (both
LA, 2014), #METAMARATHON (Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, 2014), #FOLLOWMYHEART (SxSW, Austin, 2015), #INTRODUCTIONS (with St Martins BA
Fine Art, London, 2015), #ALLMYMOVIES (New York, 2015), and most recently #TOUCHMYSOUL (FACT, Liverpool, 2015).
