| Details: | Gear up to see a cast iron velocipede designed in the mid-1800s, a 1901 Wolff-American Ice Bicycle engineered to traverse a frozen course, a seafoam green 1950s Huffy Radiobike designed so riders could cruise to their tunes of choice, and Pee-Wee Herman’s customized 1953 Schwinn DX Cruiser starring in Tim Burton’s 1985 film, Pee-wee’s Big Adventure. These are just a few of the highlights waiting for you to discover in Cycle Thru! The Art of the Bike, an exhibition featuring the bicycle as a way to explore intersections of history, popular culture, design, and modern and contemporary art. Spanning the 1860s to today, over 20 bicycles from The Bicycle Museum of America in New Bremen, Ohio, illustrate the design innovations—both functional and aesthetic—marking the vehicle’s development. Paired with contemporary art by Jarbas Lopes, Bas Jan Ader, and Bari Kumar—as well as selections from the Cincinnati Art Museum’s collections of photographs, fashion, posters and paintings—visitors can pedal thru and ponder the role of the bicycle as an evolving icon, a connector of cultures, and a vehicle for autonomy and freedom to all, regardless of age, gender, and geography.
