Elevated Lines at Inwood Art Works Gallery
The elevated lines of New York City’s subway system serve all 5 boroughs and provide an amazing visual survey of the city as it stands today. In this fascinating new exhibition, photographer Bruce Katz reveals the unique character of the city, as seen from its above-ground subway stations.
Vestiges of 1900s New York remain mixed with new development, gentrification, and sometimes abject neglect. Residential, retail, and industrial exist side by side—sometimes all within the span of one subway stop. Viewed from the platform edge one can see the city’s discordant mix of old and new and the ever-present renewal/decay/transition of its neighborhoods.
