The colorful geometric patterns in “Duration” (2017), Monika Bravo’s glass mosaic and ceramic-printed glass installation at the Prospect Avenue (R train) station in Brooklyn, are woven and layered from forms derived from Modern Abstraction, pixelated satellite images, and historical images of the nearby waterfront. Bravo works with animation, sound, photography, and digital technology to explore time, space, and memory, and uses her layering process in “Landscape of Belief”, a time-based electronic installation exploring the text from Italo Calvino’s “Invisible Cities”, now on view in “The Power of Intention: Reinventing the (Prayer) Wheel” at The Rubin Museum.

Warm summer days and nights are upon us and so is our new Poetry in Motion series!  Now in subway cars, from John Ashbery’s poem “Train Rising out of the Sea”, with artwork by Monika Bravo from her mosaic installation “Duration” (2017) at Prospect Avenue (R train) in Brooklyn.

Re-opening today! Enhancements at Prospect Av (R) station include beautiful artwork by Monika Bravo. Arising from her ongoing research of color and rhythm, the bold abstract patterns seen in “Duration” pulsate with vibrant waves of energy. The mosaic composition layers forms drawn from Modern Abstraction, pixelated satellite images presented in mosaic tesserae, and historical maps and photos of the nearby waterfront. Data and material are woven together to create a new code that connects technology, process, and illusion.
