40 Bike Rack Maquettes opens on Friday October 8, with a reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at the UrbanArt office on Broad Avenue. Gadsby Creson’s miniatures couldn’t be displayed at a better time, as Memphis has recently been realizing its potential to be a greener, more bicycle-friendly city.
“One of my goals in getting my MFA was making public art,” says Creson. “And I had, just as a first semester graduate student, applied to some of the national calls for bike racks. In doing so, I realized I was just doing little sketches of my proposed racks and not really giving them a good idea of what it would look like three dimensionally.”
