From her previous lightboxes at Bryant Park to new ones at Rockefeller Center, Portia Munson’s seasonal colors take center stage in Midtown Manhattan. Her 2014 #MTAArts Lightbox exhibit at Bryant Park, showcased flowers arranged in mandala-like circles and patterns, inspired by the gardens of Bryant Park above the subway station. “Pink Projects”, currently on view in various locations at Rockefeller Center, features pink plastic products that are created for and sold to women and girls. The work examines how the color pink has been appropriated by marketers over time to signify and commodify femininity and the female sphere. “Pink Projects” is presented by Art Production Fund as part of their “Art in Focus” series.
