Artist's Comments

I took this last year while in Chicago. For those of you who recognized this piece of art it was depicted in Wayne's World. Its a stack of 8 cars on a spindle which is now home to lots of pigeons. It was created by Dustin Shuler in 1989. The information that is stated by the work says the following.
"The automobile. the computer, and the television are the three technological wonders of the Twentieth Century that have most profoundly influence our culture. Artist Dustin Shuler, with his finger on the impulse of the Twentieth Century, has chosen the automobile as the subject matter of his art. "Spindle" lifts the auto out of its ordinary place, and by relocating it as we've never seen before causes us to look again - to question its priority and importance in our daily living. Is it an object for veneration? If so. should it be? Dustin Shuler was born in 1948 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and now lives and works in the Los Angeles area, He has auto works in the due(? not legible) Saisset Museum, Santa Clara, California; the Department of Motor Vehicles of the State of Californa in San Jose; and at the San Francisco Parking Authority in San Francisco California."
