Framed is ‘an exhibition by purveyors of fine BMX’, and first and foremost we would like to congratulate the curators, Urchin Associates, for putting the words purveyor and BMX in the same sentence.
To be honest, we don’t know much about this under-rated form of transport, but like Nicole Kidman before her role in the 1983 film BMX Bandits, we are willing to learn. What we do know is that BMX’s and their ‘purveyors’ are the antithesis to lycra wearing, oh-so-serious cyclists, and we will support that in any way possible.
