For three years while planning this exhibition I roller-skated to commute.-Curator, Elle Seven Nationwide, passionate riders of every kind are blazing trails through the roads, on the track, and off the ramps.
People are expressing passion by modifying societal solutions, crafting bikes, roller skates, skateboards and mobile movements all their own. These DIY rides are changing America one mile at a time.
Roll through streets with Southern California residents who flood car-centric boulevards on bicycles. Transcend with Apache Skateboards who develop warrior spirits through art and skateboarding. Witness lowrider custom culture evolve from inner cities to galleries. Glide over urban highways and under city streets on mass transit.
Swing around tracks with roller derby divas inspiring grown women worldwide to fall and then get up again. More than trends in motion, these communities survive by reclaiming space through creativity and adapting to the environment being built up around them.
ARTISTS:
Artists in the exhibition include Tommii Lim, Douglas Miles, Kyle Mcquilkin, Cory Oberndorfer andNick Wildermuth.Don’t just be a passive bystander. Bring your best R I D E to the show and be a part of the mobile movement.
