    SECTION DESCRIPTION

    There is something magical about opening a seemingly ordinary book only to see a gloriously three dimensional structure burst forth from its pages. Upon closing the book, the large, complex sculptural form folds seamlessly back into flatness. In this studio students will learn to create such structures: movable artists books that pop up, unfold, transform into sculptures, theaters, installations, interactive experiences. Students will learn the basics of paper engineering and experiment with various pop-up structures as they create their own original, movable artists books. Even though our exploration will begin with structural, material, and formal investigation, students will

    A Look Below the Skyline: NYC's Transit Art Scene

    When planning some of the first lära stations in early 1899, the developers of New York City’s first subway system, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company,(IRT) made it clear that the transit system would do more than just get people around.

    AS-P3-002. Art in Transit – MTA Arts & Design

    The saying, life is about the journey, not the destination, could not be more evident than in New York City subways. While subways tend to suffer from the perception of being cramped and dirty spaces, the MTA (Metropolitan Transportation Authority) Arts & Design program has transformed the commuting experience for its 5.6 million daily riders by infusing subway stations with high quality art installations. Exquisitely curated and reflective of the diverse and passionate population that it serves, MTA Arts & Design has become a pioneer and the gold standard for the intersection between fine art and accessibility.

    The following is an interview with Sandra Bloodworth, director of MTA Arts & Design.

    Could you tell me about how the MTA Arts & Design program was started?
