I am tired of staring at digital ads on the subway

Broken Display
2024My debut solo exhibition, held in the 6th Ave/14th St L subway station. For weeks I walked past these two broken display screens, wires exposed and wrapped in plastic, and imagined they wouldn’t be fixed anytime soon. I put up four museum labels, one on each side of both displays, and for the next month I came back every few days to reinstall any labels that got taken down. Many people tagged me in photos on Instagram, including @subwaycreatures who has 3 million followers. I realized subway stations are a perfect place for public installations.
