Todd VonBastiaans’ Installation Celebrates Sex, Seniors + Disabled

Todd VonBastiaans’ Installation Celebrates Sex, Seniors + Disabled

A vintage prosthetic leg kicks up its heels (in this case, a pair of pink Christian Louboutins) on a motorized turntable not too far from a bedazzled walker, also on a motorized turntable. Both drip strings of white globes in an LED-illuminated space. The window installation I Go Walking After Midnight, which also includes a bedecked whicker wheelchair and a vintage polio leg brace, is as eerie and fantastic as it is celebratory and poignant.

Created by Todd VonBastiaans for the Erotic Heritage Museum, it looks out onto Industrial Road, reminiscent of a Lynchian holiday window display. > Read More

ART • ACTIVISM • IMPACT

To Build A Museum began as my phenomenological dissertation, Building a Museum: Sex Education Through Art, exploring the intersection of art, sexuality, and education. This academic work became the foundation for the creation of the Erotic Heritage Museum, a space dedicated to fostering understanding through art and education.

What started as an academic inquiry evolved into a platform for activism, artistic expression, and community engagement, documented here through the profound experiences, challenges, and insights I encountered, along with contributions from esteemed artists, colleagues, and patrons. To Build A Museum reflects my commitment to inclusivity, expanding awareness, and celebrating the transformative power of art, while capturing the key moments that shaped this project.
