Tom Sachs Brings Boombox Culture Back to the Brooklyn Museum
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 июл 2016
- The Brooklyn retrospective covers 17 years of the artist's career, but he has been making boomboxes for much longer; the New York creative warmly recalls trading his sister's boyfriend a copy of Led Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti for a stolen car stereo. If you're feeling adventurous, you can purchase a DIY zine from an ATM attached to Sach's Bodega that dates the beginning of his obsession to 1981: "I hooked my Sony Walkman up to a set of mini speakers and Velcroed them to a block of plywood. It was a clusterfuck of wires." The Bodega is a boombox too, of course.
The collection showcases Sachs' balance of obsessive attention to detail and an irreverent sense of humor: one speaker has a perfect recreation of the Chanel monogram alongside the word "Pussy" written in Sachs' signature scrawl; a Courvoisier bottle in Presidential Vampire Booth 's bar has been Wited-Out to read Corbusier.
HYPEBEAST caught up with the artist to discuss how he got into boomboxes, how music informs his creative process, and how he and Frank Gehry feel about imitators.

Casey even emulates Tom's hairstyle. Loved what he said at the end though. Taking it to the next level.
Sad that Casey has a million times the game and money, when he got much of his style from Tom.
“Frank Gehry once said to me…” is such a way to start a sentence 😂😂😂
Serious unique style. very inspirational. thanks for this video!
Dope!
“Elevate everything”
total agreement right here
Is this the guy casey neistat used to work for?
yes
You can tell how much his style influenced Casey
What job
Yup
and the student becomes the master... (just kidding, Tom is #1)
This is the only guy I have seemed to of seen on the internet with the same glasses as me, curse !
seemed to have seen*
What glasses are they? 😂
pete I have Marc Joseph 4149 Crystal. Looking at this again I think he might have different ones, but both are relatively the same.
Tom throwing subliminals at Casey

Hes on neistat brothers
Who else here did NOT come here because of Casey Neistat, but learned about Casey through Tom Sachs, the grandmaster of bricolage and emperor of Mars? With all due respect to Mr. Neistat, but they are not playing in the same league.
came here cause of Frank Ocean
Came from nike craft while researching for a university project lol. And realized that he’s the one who made the boombox from frank ocean’s endless
“I hate it when people leave me and then do what I do, and do it worse. I hate it“
Shots fired at Casey Neistat
He’s quoting someone else. If you listen to the whole section, it actually sounds like he’s saying quite the opposite… that art is a ‘family line’ and that Tom himself loves when people leave and do better. Personally, I love watching Casey and Van through the eyes of someone who was into Tom first, it’s almost an extension of his life’s work. It’s beautiful.
