We shared with you earlier this month about our exciting collaboration with Cannondale bikes, and last night in L.A. our successful design was on display at the RE:MIX lab event.
Junk Food attended the Opening Ceremony in Downtown L.A. to see all of the exhibits and enjoy DJ sets by Yeasayer, College and Neil Armstrong! Our bike looked amazing and it was great to see the final product in all its glory. The response to the design has been great so far - what do you guys think of the Junk Food Bad Boy bike?
The creators with their design!
The opening ceremony was great and the RE:MIX lab will be in town until the 10th of December with lots of other events happening that are open to the public. If you live in the L.A. area it's worth checking out their website for a full list of events, but here are a few of our favorites:
Dec 7th : RE:generation Event, 7pm - 12am In association with the Grammys featuring music from Nas, Erykah Badu, Mark Ronson and The Crystal Methods amongst others....
Dec 8th : Art Walk L.A. 1pm-9pm Collaborations will be exhibited as part of the Downtown Art Walk
Dec 9th : Question and Answer with Edgar Wright, 2pm - 5pm Q&A with award-winning filmmaker Edgar Wright moderated by KCRW’s Elvis Mitchell.
Dec 10th : Boxer Rebellion, 10pm-1am Live performance by Boxer Rebellion
Hope you guys manage to make it down to the Art Walk to see the Junk Food bike!
We were invited to create a new take on Cannondale's classic Bad Boy bike, that would be conceived for Re:Mix Lab, Antenna Magazine's five-city wide traveling art show. Visiting Chicago, NYC, Las Vegas, Miami and Los Angeles, the ReMix Lab consists of gallery installations, live performances and film premiers and our unique take on the classic Cannondale bike.
Our team started with the Bad Boys signature black matte base and from there took it to a place with a more Junk Food attitude. Inspired by biker gangs and adopting a more heritage feel, the look our team created stays true to Cannondale's advanced components but with a 50's motorcycle-club aesthetic. The design also offers custom leather accessories - a leather saddle bag that can carry a rolled up Junk Food Tee, and a leather tool bag/satchel that fits on the bike frame.
Here Demetrius May and Mike Palermo, who made this vision a reality, give you insight into the creative process behind the project.
The finished product is an incredible matte green, one of a kind bike that has all the authentic details that we pride ourselves on at Junk Food.
The tour and the Junk Food Bad boy will be hitting Miami, December 3rd, and then onto its final stop in L.A, December 7th to 11th. Check www.remix-lab.com/ for updated information.
