Karen Margolis’ “Cerebration” (2018) at 86 St (N) station in #Brooklyn visualizes thought patterns in circular clusters of color  ̶  at times bursting like fireworks. Fabricated by @mvmstudiosmx, colors within the mosaic artwork flow abstractly from one panel to the next, connecting a narrative of travelers’ thoughts and memories. 

A paper-based piece by Margolis’ is currently on view in the @among_friends_show, alongside fellow #MTAarts artists @maureen_mcquillan, @danhzeller, @lindaganjian, @triciawrightart & @peterdrakeart, a group show organized by Alexandra Rutsch Brock, Beth Dary and Patricia Fabricant, at @equitygallery. “Among Friends” takes its inspiration from #RobertRauschenberg’s “Hiccups” (1978), wherein Rauschenberg zipped together ninety-seven sheets of handmade paper each with an unique composition, and “reflects and responds to the strength and illumination we find through art, friendship and community.” Let’s all celebrate being back #AmongFriends! On view through May 22.
