A History of Cycling at Brooklyn Historical Society through Jan. 3rd

A local artist named Eric Corriel who lives on Columbia St. has an exhibit showing at the Brooklyn Historical Society from now through January 3rd about the history of cycling in Brooklyn

The official website of the installation describes it as:

A History of Cycling in Brooklyn is an interactive video installation that explores the history of bicycle culture in Brooklyn from 1880 to today. The piece uses the Brooklyn Historical Society's east-facing windows as windows into different time periods of this historical narrative. It is part of the group show Brooklyn Utopias?, which takes place at the Brooklyn Historical Society from October 1st, 2009 - January 3rd, 2010. It can be seen from Clinton Street, in Brooklyn Heights, sundown to sunrise, according to this calendar. The artwork is interactive in the sense that it invites anyone with Brooklyn-based cycling media to submit it for possible inclusion in the piece itself.

Go check it out and participate!
