MTA's Fulton Center Art Honored
Americans for the Arts recognized MTA Arts & Design with its Year in Review honor for two projects in the recently opened Fulton Center in Lower Manhattan: cable-net sculpture “Sky Reflector-Net,” permanent art, and the large-scale video installation “New York Minute,” temporary art.
Fulton Center is a public transit hub of New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). This year’s competition honored 31 public art projects from the U.S. and Canada, out of more than 300 entries.
“Sky Reflector-Net,” an integrated artwork by the global engineering firm ARUP, artist James Carpenter and Grimshaw Architects, is a tensioned cable-net sculpture covered in perforated optical-aluminum panels that hangs above Fulton Center’s grand conical atrium. “New York Minute,” created by Gabriel Barcia-Colombo, features portraits of New Yorkers doing everyday activities in super-slow motion, displayed on 52 screens throughout the public transit hub.
