The New York Bicycle Film Festival runs from June 17-21, and Joyride is one of the events celebrating bicycles through film, art, and music. It's an artwalk that runs through a few galleries which are close enough to scurry around to from door to door. I didn't get to drop by right on opening night because it was the last day one of my friends was in town, but I did get to see most of the stuff this weekend! Quick pics follow:
And that was some of the stuff I saw, pretty neat! I also wandered into another gallery by accident thinking it was part of Joyride, but it's not haha. It was interesting...
And then I made a discovery of Gallery Bar, which rotates art in and out every month or so. The series living on the walls underneath here is called "The Endless Summer" by Chad Porter. I loved the vibe there - I'll definitely be back some other day for another Caiprinha :)
And before that we laid down on the fake grass in Columbus park in Chinatown chewing on Big Wong's wonton noodles and soaking in whatever minutes of sun that is left in this dreary New York weather of a summer. It's funny because even though I grew up doing recess in this park, I have never ventured into the section that is the territory of the elderly. But on this particular day, there were some opera performances and dancing going on inside elevated chapel looking building. Check it out:
And so they watched on underneath.
