Bay Parkway Station

This is where the F makes its stops above Washington Cemetery. Again, this is in the Mapleton section of Brooklyn, at the intersection of Bay Parkway and McDonald Avenue.

If you are heading towards Coney Island this weekend on the N train, hop off the train at Bay Pkwy to experience the colorful abstractions in Eamon Ore-Giron’s “People’s Instinctive Travels: Homage to The Tribe” (2018).  The mosaics echo grand modernist structures and art from another era, yet here are accessible in scale and fit within the station architecture and the surrounding community.

Washington Cemetery

This predominately Jewish cemetery, which dates from 1850, is to be found in the Mapleton section of Brooklyn. This is where Bay Parkway and McDonald Avenue cross one another—MTA’s F-line runs atop the latter street on its way to Coney Island.

Eamon Ore-Giron’s expansive mosaic project, “People’s Instinctive Travels: Homage to The Tribe” at the Bay Parkway (N) station in Brooklyn, visualizes the world as abstract forms and shapes and their interplay as a reflection of the ways in which people of different communities – such as those surrounding the Bay Pkwy station – negotiate their relationships with each other and new places, a process of reinvention and creation. Mosaic fabricator Mosaicos Venezianos de México translated Ore-Giron’s six oil on linen paintings into twenty-four glass mosaic panels. The northbound platform mosaics mimic the movement of gears and the mechanics of the human-made world, conjuring feelings of New York’s ecstatic urban environment. People’s Instinctive Travels: Homage to The Tribe originates from Eamon Ore-Giron’s “certain nostalgia for global modernism,” wherein “public works meant to create a kind of civic mindedness and unity.” It is Ore-Giron’s hope that these mosaics will offer subway riders a space to see the world anew through the shapes, forms, colors, and movements of these artworks.
