Call it velocipedephilia. The gallery SB Contemporary Art is teaming up with Canada South Eco Tours to present “For the Love of Bikes,” a community art exhibition in celebration of Windsor’s 54th Via Italia Race and bicycle culture, through September 22.

The nature of the show will help it to attract a variety of viewers, says Victor Romão, a visual arts instructor and three-time UWindsor grad (BFA 1991, BEd 1992, MFA 2010). He will exhibit a new 22" x 28" drawing, entitled With the greatest of ease, executed in acrylic ink on watercolour paper.

A day of commemorative events celebrating the bicentennial of the 1812 capture of Detroit will include the world premiere of a piece by UWindsor music professor Brent Lee entitled “General Brock in Detroit.”

Three UWindsor grads will juxtapose vibrant colours with a dark sense of humour in their collaborative art exhibition, opening at the Common Ground Gallery this weekend.

Stephen Gibb (BFA 1985), Laura Gould (BA 1987) and Rebecca Draisey (BSc 1982, BFA 1988) named their exhibit “The GGoD Show” not only in homage to television’s Gong Show but because their surnames begin with G, G and D.

“The show will encompass a wide variety of works,” says Gould. “All will reflect the theme of GGoD, however each of us defines that.”
