Opening Reception—Vehicles of Expression: The Craft of the Skateboard
Celebrate with us as we open this playful and boundary-pushing exhibition about the development of the skateboard’s very structure. From its inception with cobbled-together lumber and rollerskate parts, to contemporary high-tech renditions, and cutting edge, eclectic, expressive variations—it’s all here!
Remarks by Abe Dubin (aka Orange Man), skateboarder and multimedia artist. Dubin will address the “why” that fuels skateboard innovation and how the melding of imagination with physical objects (and the altering thereof) is the essence of skateboarding.
