Urban Oasis: Nature in Transit
Natalie Collette Wood
Medium: Digitally printed chiffon, cast aluminum furniture, stainless steel, flocking, succulents, pillow moss, oyster shells, driftwood, reindeer moss, coconut liner, wire mesh, galvanized wire, and cactus soil.
"Urban Oasis: Nature in Transit" seeks to redefine urban spaces, particularly within transit areas like the MTA, by incorporating the adaptive and enchanting qualities of nature. The installation merges an abandoned living room with natural materials, becoming a symbol of resilience in the urban landscape. Through this integration, Urban Oasis not only enhances the surroundings but also celebrates the vitality of the diverse communities within these dynamic urban environments.
Whitney Museum of American Art
The Whitney Museum of American Art is bringing its landmark exhibition, the Whitney Biennial, into the subway system. A special exhibition in vinyl comprised of artworks and accompanying text is now visible on structures that were previously used as newsstands as part of the MTA’s program to bring arts and culture to former retail spaces. Four of the six artworks featured are by artists included in MTA Arts & Design’s collection.
