Hubert Doppler - Austrian Man in New York

I started out studying engineering, later architecture, even later painting, and worked as a drafter in architecture offices for several years. Traveling to the Sahara Desert in Algeria on a motorbike in 1986 left a big impression behind. Some other “out of Europe” travels followed: 3 months in Asia in 1987, 3 months Mexico in 1996. In 2001 I visited friends in NY where I have been living since. My education together with my long-standing fascination with motorbikes, tools, dildos, umbrellas, inner tubes… has directed me to create work that combines architectural and sculptural elements in installation pieces into which I incorporate performance as well as photography, painting and video.
