Zen and the (male) art of skateboard combat  

At the Museum of Skateboarding, Russian artist Kirill Savchenkov turns the urban skater into a rōnin-style warrior engaged in a boys-only martial art

London has a new Museum of Skateboarding. But before you dust off your Vans, be warned: this is not a public institution on the South Bank dedicated to outsize shorts, broken wrists and the unseasonal wearing of beanie hats. It's in an art gallery.

The work of Russian artist Kirill Savchenkov, the “museum” opened at London's Calvert 22 last week. Addressing the deathlessly hip sport mock-anthropologically, it's an exhibition that gazes back, as if from the near future, to a fantasy New Skateboarder culture in which the urban skater is a kind of warrior monk or rōnin on wheels.
