Hubert Dobler's Gasoline

In "Gasoline," Hubert Dobler's first NY solo show, he assaults the polite electronic
façade of our postmodern service-industry landscape with his mean machine
Honda CB550 Four, 1976. It is gasoline, the return of the repressed. No brakes.
Muscular energy.

The power is raw. The motorcycle is chained to the ceiling in Dobler's Bull video
and it screams and bucks into the air and up against the walls like a wild beast.



Great.
