Designer Camilo Pardo stages 'Fuel Injection' art show in Michigan

Automotive designer Camilo Pardo's greatest work of art may have been the Ford GT, but those interested in seeing his work in mediums other than sheetmetal can attend his solo exhibition, titled "Fuel Injection," premiering this weekend at the 323 East gallery in Royal Oak, Mich. Running from June 11 to July 2, Pardo's show will include silk-screened images on repurposed materials such as wooden doors and aluminum signs, and it will revisit his favorite subjects--cars and women. The exhibit recalls the pop art of Andy Warhol's era, Pardo says.

Gesture control is the next big thing for Land Rovers and Jaguars say its engineers.
