China Institute and Asia Art Archive in America bring together Asian and Asian Diasporic artists Bing Lee, Jean Shin, Saya Woolfalk, and Parker Fay (who will represent Ming Fay) to share the stories behind their own subway commission projects while addressing questions around the possibilities, promise, and practicalities of public art. The conversation will be moderated by Deputy Director of MTA Art & Design Yaling Chen. NYC’s subway stations have long been sites of large scale commissions, viewed on a daily basis by hundreds of thousands of city residents, commuters, and visitors. These artworks, commissioned by MTA Art & Design, are often linked to their location’s history, architecture, and/ or community context.
