Flavorwire

No, reader, your eyes do not deceive you: This beguiling bicycle, covered in gold leaf, Swarovski crystals, and assorted jewels, is longer than your average two-wheeler. That’s because Dzine modeled it after illegal Szway bikes, which are custom-made by — and all the rage for — teenagers in Curaçao, where the Chicago artist recently had a residency. The bicycle is the centerpiece of Dzine’s Voodoo, a solo show that will run through December 4th at New York’s Leo Koenig Projekte, that also features videos and photos of Curaçao’s Swaybar culture.
