From Studio to Subway –MTA Arts & Design hosted a tour earlier today at The Armory Show at Pier 94, highlighting several artists with #MTAArts projects, whose work is on view at the art fair, including Derrick Adams, Diana Al-Hadid, Derek Fordjour, Jeffrey Gibson, Alex Katz, Vik Muniz and Mickalene Thomas. Participants heard about the artists’ studio practice, their process of creating permanent public art that resonates with the diverse audience of subway riders, their collaboration with fabricators and the challenges in translating traditional media to mosaic and glass. Artist Diana Al-Hadid joined the group to talk about her 34th Street-Penn Station (1) installation.
