My friend Brett Svetlik currently has a solo exhibition at The University of Montana's University Center Gallery. He's a fantastic artist and his show is comprised of a number of b/w charcoal drawings. A week before the opening I got a phone call asking to do a collaborative piece with him which involved making a short film that loops as if someone were riding a bicycle in a desolate setting.

Brett invites viewers to participate and take turns pedaling the tandem bicycle individually in the gallery, promoting a dichotomy of cheerlessness and subtle humor.
