A week from Saturday, on June 16, Caroline and I are hosting a Bike Biennale! What’s that, you ask? Well, it all began in England with my brilliant friend, Amy Pettifer. Amy and I I met as Stewards for the British pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2009. Soon thereafter she coordinated a Bicycle Biennale event in the UK, which was meant to be a community level, grassroots version of the high profile, international art event we’d been a part of. She invited makers and artists to gather together on their bikes after having transformed their bike baskets into market stalls and/or gallery spaces. The pop-up event critiqued the exclusivity and economy of the art world, whilst also promoting cycling, buying local etc. Amy is flying all the way from London to Toronto for a visit next Wednesday, and it made sense to plan a Toronto event in her honour since Caroline and I share the philosophies cycling and creative community implicit in the Bicycle Biennale. Amy, welcome to Toronto!
