How radical is this photo?? We here at the museum have been flirting voraciously with the idea of holding a custom cycle exhibition, and the research I have been doing has produced some amazing results- one being this photograph! Now, I don’t know much about the motorcycle industry or “Kustom Kulture”, aside from mental pictures of beards and Budweiser, but it turns out that the community of biker enthusiasts is as colorful as a Maui rainbow and I. Am. Loving it! It’s a cacophony of cultures, ethnicities, occupations, styles, and genders that proves that motorcycles aren’t just reserved for the Hells Angels (as interesting as they are), but they are the framework for so many models of people. This industry is jam packed with creativity, proving it to be the perfect subject matter fit for a contemporary art museum . . . say, OURS? I’ve only had one experience on a motorcycle, that I can recall, and it includes being VERY sore-- like I’d ridden a horse for 10 hours straight-- for several days afterwards. That experience didn’t leave me wanting to get back on one anytime soon, for fear of permanently walking bow-legged, but in light of what I’ve been seeing, I think a ride on a hot Harley or Chopper is in the near future We aren’t making any promises just yet, but stay tuned to see what we might come up with. The gasoline in our think tank is flowin’ and we’re revving up for an amazing summer! Yeow!
