Come and join the UCR ARTSblock as they commemorate bikes and their effects on SoCal's one-of-a-kind culture and lifestyle. The exhibition "Re:Cycle-- Bike Culture in Southern California" will kick off this Thursday, as part of a gala weekend in honor of the inuagaration of UCR's Sweeney Art Gallery's new space in the Barbara and Art Culver Center of the Arts.
From the ARTSblock:
Exploring the effects of bikes on art and culture, Re:Cycle--Bike Culture in Southern California includes customized bikes, bike designs, and artist projects that use the bicycle and human-powered machines as both metaphors and realizations for restructuring human habitats. In the past few years, bicycle activists, advocates, and aficionados have proven to be vociferous in their desire for reimagining the urban landscape in the U.S. It is a reflection of a shifting value system that looks towards alternate means of transportation, the promotion of healthy lifestyles, and a cultural shift from consumption to sustainability.
