Art Ride 2007: VeniceBaselKasselMünster ... by bicycle!
Cheryl Rondeau and Petra Chevrier
Once every ten years four international art events collide in three different, yet geographically connected, countries. Seeking an alternate experience of these international art happenings Petra Chevrier and Cheryl Rondeau propose an intervention that literally crosses and intersects both the art world and the everyday, covering 1,600 km, by human-powered transportation, the bicycle. The tour will start 8 June 2007 at La Biennale di Venezia 52nd International Art Exhibition and cross the finish-line 19 June 2007 at the skulptur projekte münster 07 ‹ stopping at Art 38 Basel and Documenta 12 along the way. While seeing the art will be a component of the tour, the central proposition is to explore the effect of physically ricocheting off of art events and the surrounding landscape and exploring the manner this alters body, perception and interpretation of the events.
