New photos, poetry liven up NYC subway stations, celebrating 40-year anniversary of MTA arts
"The art on display in Grand Central Madison and 42 St-Bryant Park includes two lens-based exhibitions that reflect on distinct New York communities. Two new poems are on display across the MTA system, appearing in print and on digital screens in subway cars and platforms, commuter rail trains, and Metro-North Railroad and Long Island Rail Road stations, including Grand Central Terminal and Grand Central Madison."
"The photography program offers a unique canvas for visual storytelling, while Poetry in Motion, recognized as one of the most popular public literary programs in American history, connects with riders in a way that is distinct among Arts & Design's offerings, said Tina Vaz, director of the program. These new photographic meditations and evocative poems are a special and essential part of our year-long anniversary celebration."
MTA added new art across iconic subway stations, featuring lens-based exhibitions at Grand Central Madison and 42 St-Bryant Park. Two new poems appear systemwide in print and on digital screens in subway cars and platforms, commuter rail trains, and Metro-North and Long Island Rail Road stations, including Grand Central Terminal and Grand Central Madison. The poems were selected with help from the Poetry Society of America, a nonprofit founded in 1910 to place poems at the crossroads of American life. The additions coincide with the 40th anniversary of the MTA Arts & Design program, founded in 1985. Commissioned works include pieces by Lionel Cruet, Roe Ethridge, and Jeffrey Gibson.
