“Bicycle in the City” is an exhibition about the evolution of the bicycle as an object and its role in the urban environment. The display brought together historical models, contemporary bicycles, and materials on cycling, urban mobility, and everyday bicycle use.
The historical section was built around exhibits from the Polytechnic Museum. This required working under museum regulations, including agreed conditions for transport, placement, storage, and operation of the objects within the venue.
The contemporary part was shaped through partner contributions: Electra provided a flagship e-bike, Velosort contributed current models from its portfolio, and together with the Green Ring of Moscow project we developed a block on healthy lifestyles and the promotion of cycling.
The exhibition functioned not only as a static display but also as a working media space. It hosted video recordings, interviews, and live sessions, which was especially important during the Covid-19 restrictions, when part of the audience engaged with the project online.
The project brought together an exhibition format, partner work, and production tasks within a single space.
For me it was a case where technical delivery covered not only installation and operation of the display, but also configuring the venue as a stable environment for filming, partner integrations, and work with museum objects.
