Underground Arts

The MTA is hosting two new exhibits of photographs this summer that document life underground. "Meet Me at Grand Central," an exhibit by Boris Klapwald captures 1950s life in the world famous terminal. The light and shadow of Grand Cenral is put to good use in the photos of soldiers on leave, anxious travelers and children waiting in the famous station. The exhibit will be up for the summe. For information check the MTA's site.

The "Brooklyn in Color" exhibit uses eight giant lightboxes — more than five-feet by four-feet — to disply the photographs of Ranjit Bhatnagar, a Park Slope resident who documents life in the borough from Prospect Park to Coney Island. The lightboxes are located at four sites: Grand Central Terminal Dining Pavilion, the 42nd Street-Bryant Park station, Bowling Green and Atlantic Avenue.
Check our Ranjit's photos on Flickr.
