TODT Dystopian Contemporary Motorcycle Art Sculpture 1995 Reclaimed Steam Punk

About the Item

TODT Dystopian contemporary Motorcycle Art sculpture 1995 reclaimed steam punk TODT art sculpture From their Weapon Series at the Zero-Sum exhibition held in Cincinnati in 1995. Part Motorcycle part Mad Max. A collaboration of Motorcycle frames, miscellaneous parts and weapons. Includes crossbows and lights. “TODT emerged out of 1980s New York, which simmered in the tension butter of Reaganomics and The Ramones. Judy is a punk and Reagan is bunk. TODT didn’t necessarily identify with punk but definitely had no love for Reagan. TODT was contemporaneous with the likes of Jeff Koons, and being of the 80s and New York has taken cues from the commodity culture defined by Warhol and Pop. The group’s career has spanned temporally and geographically, and their output has sustained its personality despite a waxing and waning institutional reception. They have been loved and vilified. They were part of The Whitney Biennial in 1985 and exhibited at PS1 in 1983. Their accolades are impressive and yet monstrous commercial success has never smiled on TODT. Yet, it seems to matter very little. They are self-taught, self-made, answer to no master, practice a shrewd scavenging, and make everything out of everything. TODT is tied to the German word tod meaning death, and tot Catalan for everything, and also references the Third Reich via Fritz Todt who was a sort of public works administrator behind “Organization Todt” dedicated to civil and military engineering of the greatest efficiency; very little of the human sacrifice necessitated therein mattering much at all.” Timeline 1985 Art Matters Inc.
