Danny Lyon: The Bikeriders
September 9 - October 31
Myth meets reality in this exhibition that focuses on the real easy riders and their life on the road. In 1968, after four years spent riding with the Chicago Outlaw Motorcycle Club, Danny Lyon published The Bikeriders, a seminal work of modern photojournalism. Organized by art2art, this exhibition features Lyon's photographs of leather-clad bikers racing, riding and relaxing in cafes, bars and hotel rooms across the United States. Excerpts from Lyon's interviews will accompany the photographs.
Exhibitions will be accompanied by educational programming, including gallery talks, interactive programs for children and families, documentary films, lectures, public performances and more. For more information visit www.massey.crystalbridges.org or call 479-418-5700.
Crystal Bridges at the Massey
The Massey, Crystal Bridges' temporary gallery space in downtown Bentonville, was established in 2007. The gallery serves as a learning lab for museum staff and provides exhibitions and programming to the public while the permanent museum is under construction. The gallery is located on the first floor of the historic Massey hotel at 125 West Central Avenue.
About Crystal Bridges
Crystal Bridges will be a national art institution dedicated to American art and artists, learning and community gatherings. The museum takes its name from the nearby natural springs and the unique glass-and-wood building designed for the natural setting by world-renowned architect Moshe Safdie. The complex will encompass more than 100,000 square feet of public space, including galleries, meeting and classroom spaces, a large auditorium, areas for outdoor concerts and public events, and sculpture and walking trails.
Crystal Bridges will house a permanent collection of masterworks of American art that ranges from the colonial era to contemporary work. The museum also will display a changing array of special exhibitions featuring art from museums and collections throughout the region, the nation and abroad. The 100-acre site of the museum complex is located in Bentonville, Ark. For more information about Crystal Bridges, visit www.crystalbridges.org.
