Closing Bell: Artists Dream up Transit Solutions at the Old Stone House

Transit-themed art exhibit Brooklyn Utopias: In TRANSITion brings together 19 artists and designers, who explored subjects such as weaknesses in the city’s transportation system, rising transportation costs, and “transportation deserts” in the outer boroughs. The artists also imagined ideal urban transit systems and alternate solutions to the city’s problematic subways and commuter trains. The above photo shows a detail from Martin McCormack’s digital collage, “A Proposal for a Rail Link Connecting Midtown Manhattan, 2 Pulaski St, Brooklyn and Coney Island.” The opening reception is tonight from 630 to 9 pm at the Old Stone House, 336 3rd Street in Park Slope.
