34th St-Hudson Yards Subway Station

Saturday, October 17:

10:30 am~ 12:00 pm

Architect: Dattner Architects with Parsons Brinckerhoff, Inc., 2015

Additional: MTA Arts & Design

Two of the City's newest amenities in the quickly emerging Hudson Yards neighborhood will be on display in this "meet the artist" and "walk the park" tour. First we view the new subway station mosaic artwork at 34th Street and 11th Avenue commissioned by MTA Arts & Design for this gateway to the Chelsea gallery district, Far West Side and the Highline. Monumental artwork by Xenobia Bailey crowns the entry and ceiling dome inside the new station, and the artist will speak about her art practice, the transition of fiber and crocheted work to mosaic, her influences and philosophy of the aesthetic of funk. Following this discussion and tour, we will return to street level and be met by representatives from Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates (landscape architects) who will lead a walk through the newly opened Hudson Park with its many innovative features that make it a new oasis in a formerly industrial area. Be among the first to see these new gems in NYC.
