DescriptionMeasuring almost {{cvt|10|x|20|ft}}, {{cvt|12|ft|m}} high, Metropolis II depicts an imaginary city traversed by gravity-powered, custom-cast cars—1,080 miniature vehicles—as well as HO scale electric trains. Materials include building blocks, Lego blocks, and Lincoln Logs.[1][2] The cars travel along 18 Teflon-coated[3] tracks, including a six-lane freeway, at scale speeds ranging from bumper-to-bumper to 240 miles per hour. When the cars reach the bottom, they are connected by magnets to three conveyor belts and raised back to the top of the sculpture. Running at capacity, the sculpture can launch about 100,000 cars an hour. An operator stationed in the midst of the sculpture looks for accidents and can push an emergency stop button.[2][4][5][6] Burden described the piece as a "complicated roller-coaster system" and said that the goal was not to create a literal scale model of a city but to evoke a city's energy. The work, he said, anticipates the era of driverless cars that Burden believed would put an end to traffic gridlock.[7][5][8] Burden was unspecific about which city the sculpture depicts: "It could be Dubai or India or China. I think ultimately it’s any city."[9] A smaller predecessor, Metropolis I (2004), is in Japan at the 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa.[10] Measuring {{cvt|7|x|16|x|11|ft}}, that sculpture employs about 80 Hot-Wheels cars, which tend to fall off the track.[2] Metropolis II cars are custom built and use magnets for traction. Burden's name is on the tire sidewalls.[1][11][9] Construction, installationThe sculpture was built by a team of eight people who began work in 2006 in Burden's Topanga Canyon studio, unveiling it there in 2011.[9] It was reinstalled at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's Broad Contemporary Art Museum[4] in 2012 in a specially designed gallery with a viewing balcony. Billionaire Nicolas Berggruen purchased the work and loaned it to the museum through 2022.[5] References1. ^1 {{Cite news|url=http://www.openculture.com/2015/06/metropolis-ii-discover-the-amazing-fritz-lang-inpsired-kinetic-sculpture-by-chris-burden.html|title=Metropolis II: Discover the Amazing, Fritz Lang-Inspired Kinetic Sculpture by Chris Burden|last=Mills|first=Ted|date=June 18, 2015|work=|newspaper=Open Culture|language=en-US|access-date=2016-11-06|via=}} 2. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://wheels.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/08/11/metropolis-ii-a-sculpture-moving-at-200-m-p-h-scaled/|title='Metropolis II': a Sculpture Moving at 200 M.P.H., Scaled|last=Patton|first=Phil|date=August 11, 1011|work=|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=2016-11-06|via=}} 3. ^{{Cite web|url=http://unframed.lacma.org/2012/01/10/metropolis-ii/|title=Opening This Weekend: Metropolis II|last=Capriotti|first=Alex|date=January 10, 2012|website=Unframed (LACMA newsletter)|publisher=|access-date=2016-11-25}} 4. ^1 {{Cite sign|title=Chris Burden: Metropolis II|year=2011|location=Los Angeles County Museum of Art|type=museum plaque}} 5. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://www.sfgate.com/art/article/Chris-Burden-s-Metropolis-II-at-L-A-museum-2530939.php|title=Chris Burden's 'Metropolis II' at L.A. museum|last=Rogers|first=John|date=January 15, 2012|work=|newspaper=SFGate|agency=Associated Press|access-date=2016-11-06|via=}} 6. ^{{Cite web|url=http://www.lacma.org/art/exhibition/metropolis-ii|title=Metropolis II {{!}} LACMA|website=www.lacma.org|access-date=2016-11-06}} 7. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llacDdn5yIE|title=Metropolis II by Chris Burden (the movie)|last=Joost|first=Henry|last2=Schulman|first2=Arial|date=July 31, 2011|website=YouTube|publisher=|access-date=}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2012/01/15/145141033/speedy-toy-cars-blur-the-boundaries-of-sculpture|title=Speedy Toy Cars Blur The Boundaries Of Sculpture|last=Schmidt|first=Alex|date=January 15, 2012|website=NPR.org|publisher=NPR|access-date=2016-11-06}} 9. ^1 2 {{Cite news|url=http://www.wallpaper.com/art/remembering-chris-burden-his-dizzying-kinetic-sculpture-and-limited-edition-wallpaper-cover|title=Remembering Chris Burden: his dizzying kinetic sculpture and limited edition Wallpaper* cover {{!}} Art {{!}} Wallpaper* Magazine|last=Zieger|first=Mimi|date=April 11, 2015|work=|newspaper=Wallpaper*|access-date=2016-11-06|via=}} 10. ^{{Cite book|title=Chris Burden: Extreme Measures|last=Philips|first=Lisa|last2=Johanna Burton|publisher=New Museum, New York and Skira Rizzoli Publications|year=2012|isbn=|location=New York|pages=222-223|quote=|display-authors=1|via=}} 11. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.kanazawa21.jp/data_list.php|title=Collection: Chris Burden|last=|first=|date=|website=21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa|publisher=|access-date=November 6, 2016}} 4 : Collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art|2011 sculptures|Kinetic sculptures in the United States|Articles containing video clips |
