Eric van Hove makes sculpture that goes \u201cvroom\u201d. For the past few years, this conceptual artist has been working in Morocco on a project called the Mahjouba Initiative, which involves building a series of motorbikes using only traditional craft materials. Eric calls this work \u201ca socio-economic sculpture\u201d, the idea being that the pieces can be exhibited as artworks but also used as the prototype for a new vehicle.

Anna McNamee meets Eric and his team as he works on the latest model \u2013 the Mahjouba III \u2013 which was to be put on show at the 1-54 Contemporary African Art Fair in Marrakech in 2018.
