In a city that positions itself as the center of the art world, the subway is the best experiential palette that any artist could possibly have. It is not the underground’s visual mystique that surmounts to this, but rather the acceptance of knowing that for a fragment of time, you are inevitably one with those who surround you. Forever in real-time, we assume positions, strategies, and every once in a while, alliances in order to make this routine effective, practical and direct. Through submission to a multiplexed fusion of cultures and lifestyles, we become fluent in body language and experts in swerving near predicaments that contest with our necessity to be somewhere.
