As part of New York’s Bike Month, the Jen Bekman Gallery is showing an exhibition of photographs by John Glassie; a series of bicycle wrecks. Without judging Glassie’s ability as a photographer, I find these images as pleasing as shabby graffiti sprayed by an amateur. Save your time and enrol to one of Taliah’s masterclasses.

So David gets his bike back, thanks to ‘neighbourhood connections’ and all he could utter were inanities such as “I’m surprised they didn’t take the helmet – you’d think they would get something for that on eBay.” I am not a proponent of sharia (even though chopping off just a finger would work wonders ), but why not make an example of the thieves, by forcing them to spend their summer vacation picking up rubbish in London parks, wearing a jumpsuit with ‘Bike Thief’ written [...]

From Karambolage, a collection of photographs by Arnold Odermatt. Odermatt spent his career documenting road accidents and capturing highly aestheticised portraits of wrecked vehicles.
