Starting the new year with something a little different by taking you on a tour of the brand new Second Avenue Subway here in NYC. Just officially opened on New Year's Eve, the brand new stations on the Upper East side Q train represent a new era for transportation and public art in the city that locals and visitors alike can appreciate. The well-lit stations are built much farther underground, yet they manage to feel very open and all feature permanent public installations by artists Sarah Sze, Chuck Close, Vik Muniz and Jean Shin. Some of the art depicts residents of the city, like a Jazz musician renown for his customized saxophone. All of it can be interactive because none of it is behind glass or a barrier, as in a museum. Nearly a century in the making this extension was first discussed in the 1920s, then deemed essential when the elevated trains were taken down in the 1940s and 50s but it was 2007 before construction began!
