“Ulysses Way,” by Damián Ortega

The proof in picture of all that can be transported by bicycle! This year, the Armory Show, a week-long art exhibition held in March in New York City, included a bicycle.  A dishwasher, a dryer, a chair, a bucket, rolled-up blankets and other household items were stacked on an old Peugeot bicycle in a “towering assemblage,” as New York Times art critic Roberta Smith described it.  The sculpture, titled “Ulysses Way,” was created by Damián Ortega, a Mexican mixed media artist who was nominated for the Guggenheim Museum’s Hugo Boss Prize in 2006.
