Spoke Count: Call For Artists
Posted December 18th, 2009 by Boston BikerThis from the people over at The Chorus Gallery, looks like a lot of fun, if you are of the art persuasion submit something.

We now interrupt our regularly scheduled program to bring you a fun bike art event for the whole family.
Spoke Count is a collaborative installation featuring 100+ small works about bikes by various artists. It is estimated that there currently exist over one billion bicycles in the world- this show will attempt to visualize this (growing) mass of our favorite revolutionary transport. We are inviting you, the art and cycling community, to provide us with 100 8 inch x 8 inch drawings of bicycles which we will exhibit during January 2010. Our reception will be on Sat Jan 9th, between 7-10 in the evening at Chorus Gallery in Union Sq.
We will not be picky on media or image. Your submission can be, but is not limited to, a print, photograph, digital image, made out of cut vinyl, or even a drawing. It can be your little sister on a bike, a lug, or painfully accurate drawing of 365 spokes in a pile. All that we ask is that it is of some part of a bicycle and we can mount it to the wall by two map pins.
Spoke count will be a open show for 100 lucky participants. So RSVP ASAP here, and deliver your art work by Thursday January 7th by 5pm (feel free to drop off earlier than that during Open Bicycle’s normal hours).
Simply:
- Unframed– able to be punctured and supported on a wall by a map pin.
- 8 inches x 8 inches.
- Bicycle content.
All works will be for sale and priced at $40. Doesn’t matter if you never draw or have been a finalist for the Venice Biennale, the work will be for sale at $40. Full disclosure, we will be splitting all sold work 30% gallery and 70% artist, as is our standard. But feel free to trade drawings with friends, we don’t mind.
Expect another of our exceptional receptions on the 9th– drinks, dancing, music, and lots of art to look at.
See you soon
Signed,
The management.
