American Symposium explores the future of business and art with discussion and music Colorado students. Metalworker Juan Martinez entered the stage riding his own creation, a life-sized American bison welded onto a bicycle. Martinez calls his art animal-pedicabs. Martinez chose to depict animals that are important to indigenous people of North and South America. His sculptures have been displayed in galleries throughout Michigan. Martinez said he’s met neighbors by biking around on his metal masterpieces.
