I have absolutely no idea how Ryan Humphrey's exhibit (pictured up top) is going to get into the Moore College of Art & Design's Levy Gallery, seeing as how the ceilings are about a fourth of that size. But it is. Riffing off Duchamp's "Bicycle Wheel,"Humphrey's "Fast Forward" piece conists of 30 BMX bikes that local pro bikers are going to help install. In addition, Moore is hosting a slew of bike-related events to coincide with it, including bike tours, lectures on the benefits of cycling and bike parades. This is what the curators said, via ESPN:
"The exhibition celebrates Philadelphia's passion and commitment to the bicycle both as functional object and as a canvas for good causes, personal expression, civic mindedness and political beliefs. In Philadelphia, the bicycle is used in a daily commute to school or work, and in the summer as a prime outdoor activity along the Schuylkill River and Kelly Drive. Whether as a mode of transport, healthy hobby or a world-class sport, Philadelphians ride by the thousands on the road, on the track, on paths and pretty much anywhere two wheels can go."
Damn right. Too bad it's not coming to town until June 19.
We're clearly a little bike-happy over here at CP. But when it's this nice outside, and our muscle mass is shrinking by the second, can you blame us? The video above is a trailer for I Love My Bicycle: The Story of FBM Bikes, which was made by local filmmaker Joe Stakun. (Full disclosure: Both of us being Temple students, I've been to a few of the same parties as Stakun. It's a small world over there on Broad.) The film is nominated for best documentary at the Bare Bones Festival in Oklahoma, where it aired last week. Yo, Joe we're proud of you and all, but don't go and get talented and then leave Philly for good, mmkay? We still have PFF here, after all.
