Described by Emma Allen for the New Yorker as a “mix of mad scientist, obsessive tinkerer, cult guru, taskmaster general, starry-eyed theoretician, and workout champion,” Tom Sachs is one of today’s most inspiring and influential sculptors. Join us as he discusses the complex engineering and design that underpins his practice. Best known for elaborate and transformative re-creations of various modern icons, re-creations that are masterpieces of engineering and design, Sachs’ work confronts capitalist culture through bricolage.
