100% Rag - Lawrence's original online forum dedicated to the visual arts - was launched on November 21, 2006. It serves as a conduit for artists in the fine and applied arts and others primarily living or working in Douglas County, KS to discuss issues concerning the local art scene and, perhaps, as a catalyst for change. Note: This forum will be reviewed and reconfigured as necessary on an on-going basis to better serve its constituents.

ERIC FARNSWORTH:
Bikes or Art?

Sunday, October 21

3 pm reception and snacks
5pm neighborhood mutant bike ride

4-1-1 Artspace
(411 East 9th St., Lawrence)

Eric Farnsworth's bicycle assemblages bring together the worlds of custom bike production, art, and physics. An art critic could say Farnsworth manipulates the worlds of masculine manufacturing and childhood whimsy to deconstruct the function and utility of transportation. An art critic could also say: Is it a bike, or a surfboard? Come see for yourself, and bring your bike along for a funky take on Critical Mass.
