FS2021 #PublicArtFinder pointless prize

[Boomer Cycles]

Post your #PublicArtFinder pic here! But please do so responsibly by using the “small” option on your Tapatalk menu!!

Rules (which are more like general guidelines [emoji849]):

1. Ride your bike a least a mile to any art form (loosely defined) that is freely accessible to the public

2. Take a picture of said art with a bicycle somewhere in the frame, and upload to this thread, Strava and/or the FS Facebook page (but please include the link here so that it can be found).

3. Hashtag your ride #publicartfinder (not CaSe SeNsItIvE) on Strava if you want to appear on the FS2021 PP leaderboard https://freezingsaddles.org/pointless/hashtag/publicartfinder

4. Public Art rides/pics must be posted within 72 hours, so as to allow all a fair chance to play, and avoid sandbagging at the end of FS2020 to game the PP competition.

Entries will be judged by some faceless cabal on totally subjective criteria that may include use of creative objects (like a bike), composition, light, artistic flair, witty captions, great stories, # of quality submissions, and/or # likes, kudos or dislikes. Extra points if you disclose the exact location of the art form so that others may enjoy it.

Now go find your Public Art form!

Next time I might even get my bike in the pic! And yes it was cool to see people working on the mural. There was a very organized looking tent encampment to the right. I wondered if the muralists were also living there.

Peter Krsko Murals at Takoma/Langley Crossroads

There are three murals by DC-based muralist Peter Krsko (2 of which I had the honor of helping paint!) along alleys in a 1-block radius just southeast of where New Hampshire Ave and University Blvd intersect in Takoma Park, MD. Not a particularly bike (or pedestrian)-friendly area, but worth a gander if you get a chance.

1. Symbiosis (2017)

2. NATRVA (2017)

3. Migration (2015)

Three good murals from today’s ride.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]22848[/ATTACH] Rockaway Brewing, Greenpoint, Brooklyn

[ATTACH=CONFIG]22849[/ATTACH] Recycle a Bicycle, next door to Rockaway. May be something like Phoenix Bikes in Arlington

[ATTACH=CONFIG]22850[/ATTACH] Brooklyn Brewing, Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Recycle A Bicycle predates Phoenix and their founders were very generous with not only Phoenix but other youth empowerment-through-biking programs all across the country. Very good people!

This sculpture is out in front of 2345 Crystal Drive. There was no informative signage, and I was unable to find anything online about it.

Composite Bug sculpture? Any entomologists want to take a guess.

I recently heard about the murals at One Loudon. They’re only a few miles off the WOD, so of course I had to go check them out.

This one is for Sarah Bee:

The artist calls these “beecycles,” and he’s been incorporating this idea in his art since college.

This was my favorite mural of the five:

It’s too bad I didn’t know about these murals in time for drevil’s photo of the day “bird” theme — or his “plane” theme!

This sculpture, by Lin Emery (2001) moves in the wind. It is located at a Mitre building in McLean, VA.
