Paris Women & Bicycles - Photographs by Gil Garcetti
June 17 - July 18, 2010
Opening reception: Thursday, June 17, 2010 from 5:30pm to 7:30pm
Open daily starting June 19, 10am - 4pm
For about four years, Gil Garcetti photographed women riding bicycles in Paris. Women of all ages, smartly dressed, use bicycles to get to work, visit friends, go shopping, go to the movies or the opera, even to go to funerals! The weather is never an impediment — these women ride in the snow, the rain and the heat — and with their Parisian flair and beauty they catch the eye. They ride their bicycles because they have an environment that is safe and encourages the use of bicycles whenever possible. Garcetti is working with the Los Angeles Bicycle Coalition to help urban areas of Southern California encourage bicycle use and thereby reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and fight the growing epidemic of obesity in America.
