DESCRIPTION:Ghost Bike: A Photographic Journey by Genea Barnes\n	\nSeptember 1 – 
 October 5, 2013\n@ Dogpatch Cafe & Art Gallery\n\n\nA white-painted bicycle 
 leans, locked to a post a few feet away from the spot where a car struck 
 and killed a bicyclist. Flowers decorate the abandoned bike, a visible 
 reminder that life is fragile. \n\nThis is a Ghost Bike, one of over 500 
 such memorials chained to fences, streetlights, and signposts across the 
 United States.  Genea Barnes discovered Ghost Bikes while shooting in New 
 York in May 2010, and their symbolic power affected her profoundly.  Each 
 year, the US sees more than 600 bicyclist fatalities, and more than 50,000 
 bicyclists report injuries. Ghost Bikes symbolize this suffering and these 
 lost lives and challenge us to be more aware of our surroundings. \n\nGenea 
 started The Ghost Bike Project because one can pass a memorial hundreds of 
 times and eventually forget that it is there to commemorate a human life.  
 Some of her photographs are of just the Ghost Bikes and some are a 
 combination of Ghost Bikes with images of live people, shot in her studio 
 and manipulated through Photoshop to look like ghosts. The resulting images 
 remind us to keep each other safe and represent a spirit that is no longer 
 with us. \n\nOver time, many Ghost Bikes have been removed.  Genea hopes 
 this project will help the memorials and their sentiment live on. She has 
 shot Ghost Bikes in over 45 cities and is in the process of creating a 
 book.\n\n\nExhibition Dates / Times\nExhibition Dates:  September 1 –
