Road Angel, 2016, is an exhibition by Texas multi-media artist and musician Terry Allen. A bronze cast of a three-wheeled 1953 Chevrolet coupe rests amid the trees far from any road. An ongoing audio archive of recordings by musicians, artists, and writers emanate as if from the car’s radio at random intervals, recounting songs and oral histories lived in the backseat and behind the wheel.
Road Angel is now a permanent resident of the Betty and Edward Marcus Sculpture Park at Laguna Gloria.
