As the MTA rehabilitates the subway and commuter rail stations in New York City and its suburbs through its Capital Programs, it uses a portion of the funds for the installation of permanent works of art. Arts for Transit’s projects create visually unique links to neighborhoods with art that echoes the architectural history and design context of the individual stations. Both well-established and emerging artists contribute to a constantly growing collection of works that use the materials of the system–mosaic, ceramic, tile, bronze, steel, and glass. In addition to permanent art, the program encompasses Music Under New York, a Transit Poster Program, and the Lightbox Project, a series of photography exhibits. To learn more about Arts for Transit projects, visit http://www.mta.info/mta/aft. About This Guide Art en Route helps you view art throughout the MTA system. The sections are organ- ized by subway line, commuter rail stations, and MTA Bridges and Tunnels. This guide is updated periodically as new installations are completed. An asterisk * indicates that the project was not yet installed at the time of printing. (Up-to-date project information is always available on our website http://www.mta.info/mta/aft.) Art en Route includes a fold-out subway and railroad map with a comprehensive listing of all stations with artwork, located at the back of the guide. Enjoy!

  • My Back Pages #13 Rich Lynch
    My Back Pages #13 Rich Lynch My Back Pages #13 articles and essays by Rich Lynch I’m resigned that this 13th issue will inevitably lead me to the topic of triskaidekaphobia, so I might as well get it over with now. The number 13 as a bad omen dates all the back to the time of the Vikings where the mischievous Loki was the 13th god in the Norse pantheon and even before that, back to the time of the Roman Empire when the disciple Judas was the 13th person to sit at the table of The Last Supper. Throughout the ages the number 13 has been associated with all kinds of terrible events. Relatively recent cases in point are the 13th Apollo mission to the moon in 1970 which nearly met disaster, and the death of Princess Diana in 1997 in a car crash at the 13th pillar of the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris. And for a brief time in 2004, it was believed that the newly-discovered asteroid Apophis had a very real chance of smashing into the Earth in 2029 on the 13th of April. I can assure you there’s nothing nearly so ominous about this #13, but what I’m really leading up to is that the number 13 being a portent is mostly a western civilization phenomenon. As you will see in the first essay of this issue, on a trip to Korea earlier this year I was surprised to learn that a different number is considered a cultural bane.

  • Design a Subway Station Mosaic That Reflects Their Home Or School Neighborhood and Draw It
    MILES OF TILES MILES OF TILES BACKGROUND INFORMATION FOR TEACHERS “Design and aesthetics have been a part of the subway from the original stations of 1904 to the latest work in 2018. But nothing in New York stands still – certainly not the subway - and the approach to subway style has evolved, reflecting the major stages of the system’s construction during the early 1900s, the teens, and the late 20s and early 30s and the renovations and redesigns of later years. The earliest parts of the system still convey the flowery, genteel flavor of a smaller, older city. Later sections, by contrast, show a conscious turn toward the modern, including open admiration for the system’s raw structural power. The evolution of subway design follows the trajectory of the world of art and architecture as these came to terms with the Industrial revolution, and the tug-of-war between a traditional deference to European models and a modernist ideology demanding an honest expression of contemporary industrial technology.” —Subway style: 100 years of Architecture & Design in the New York City Subway New York City, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, was an industrial hub attracting many Americans from rural communities looking for work, and immigrants looking for better lives. It was, however, blighted by impoverished neighborhoods of broken down tenements and social injustice. The city lacked a plan for how it should look, where structures should be built, or how services should be distributed. It was described as a ‘ragged pincushion of towers’ with no government regulation over the urban landscape.

HENNESSY, Commissioner HERALD SQUARE PRESS NEW YORK DEPARTMENT OF PARKS BOROUGH OF 'I'HE BRONX January 30, 1922. Hon. John F. Hylan, Mayor, City of New York. Sir : I submit herewith annual report of the Department of Parks, Borough of The Bronx, for 1921. Respect fully, ANNUAL REPORT-1921 In submitting to your Honor the report of the operations of this depart- ment for 1921, the last year of the first term of your administration, it will . not be out of place to review or refer briefly to some of the most important things accomplished by this department, or that this department was asso- ciated with during the past 4 years. The very first problem presented involved matters connected with the appropriation for temporary use to the Navy Department of 225 acres in Pelham Bay Park for a Naval Station for war purposes, in addition to the 235 acres for which a permit was given late in 1917. A total of 481 one- story buildings of various kinds were erected during 1918, equipped with heating and lighting systems. This camp contained at one time as many as 20,000 men, who came and went constantly. AH roads leading to the camp were park roads and in view of the heavy trucking had to be constantly under inspection and repair. The Navy De- partment took over the pedestrian walk from City Island Bridge to City Island Road, but constructed another cement walk 12 feet wide and 5,500 feet long, at the request of this department, at an expenditure of $20,000.
