The Chanterelles are Waning: A Vaginal Davis-style Los Angeles Bike Tour, November 2021.

“Banish the beige and the automobile for good. Go to the Bicycle Kitchen and cook up your own two-wheel transport. Ten speed, banana seat, or cruiser—it doesn’t make a Cinerama Dome difference to me.” — Vaginal Davis

ICA LA invites you to a bike tour of Los Angeles to discover the city through the lens and memory of artist Vaginal Davis — an iconic cultural figure whose work, rooted in performance, adopts notions of freakiness to dismantle cultural norms around gender, sexuality, and race. Davis was born and raised in Los Angeles and currently resides in Berlin, Germany.

This page contains links to several biking and walking routes of Los Angeles, accompanied by audio recordings of Vaginal Davis describing the neighborhoods where she would bike, perform, and play in her years in Los Angeles.
