“Secret Subways”: video, paintings and photographs

An abstract meditation on the New York City subway system. The rich foment of the subway system is where we all come together in a shared state of blandly neutralized public experience. Teeming humanity has funneled in and out of the New York City transit tunnels for nearly a century, while the more antique nooks and crannies of the system have developed a particularly rich and interesting patina as a result. By focusing on the detritus, spaces, and structures as they slowly corrode back into their original elements, a compelling and animistic story of contemporary urban life can be told.

This program was sponsored, in part, by the Community Arts Re-Grant Program on the Brooklyn Arts Council Inc., which is made possible with public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs.

A local production line of wine, raisins, and large scale printed and painted images on translucent fabrics, suggest a multi-layered space of information, emotional positions, and multiplicity of consciousness.
