There always seems to be a “Wash Me” finger imprint on dirty cars. Some artists have taken that compulsion write on a dirty car for inspiration using a MINI as their canvas. Called “Wash Me”, the project was devised and sponsored by BMW/MINI of Switzerland, and had 10 local artists and authors who were asked provide their inspiration to the project, which includes a book being published this month. Among the notable Swiss artists participating in the Wash Me endeavor was Dieter Meier, founder of the band Yello. The project is the creation of Oliver Aeschlimann, of BMW Switzerland Corporate Communications, in collaboration with freelance art director and photographer Nico Ammann. Aeschlimann also served as editor for the book to be published by MINI Switzerland, with the edition limited to 2,000 copies. The book include photos of each MINI creation and can be downloaded for free in electronic form at the project’s website.
