Have you ever been annoyed by how boring the MTA’s ‘art cards’ are? (those long art posters inside the newer subway cars) I certainly have. Graffiti writers turned art collective UR New York have made it their mission to make some art cards that are more reflective of the city the are supposed to represent.
UR went to the MTA first—they approached the Arts For Transit program to submit work—but were turned down. “They were kind of one sided and only really giving older established artists shine and weren’t open to new ideas, so we figured we’d take back the public space adding our own twist,” said one of the artists involved.
It’s safe to assume that Arts For Transit shrugged this work off because of the graffiti influence. It’s a shame though, because UR’s art seems to portray the city’s grittiness better than any of the art picked for the official cards. On the bright side, now that their focus is no longer on the Miami exhibition, UR plans on designing and placing even more of these.
UR New York is showing work (along with several other subway artists) in an exhibition called “Rather Unique” at the Woodward Gallery. Come check out the opening on Saturday!
