"From October 6-19, the project Dear New York will take over the entire terminal, clearing Grand Central of advertising for the first time in its history. Instead of shoe ads and train alerts, more than 150 digital screens will pulse with thousands of portraits and stories from Stanton's 15-year archive, creating what organizers call a "visual love letter" to the city."
"The centerpiece is set for the Main Concourse, where 50-foot projections designed with Broadway heavyweight David Korins ( , Dear Evan Hansen ) will flood the iconic space. Down below, both levels of the subway tunnels will be wrapped in imagery by design firm Pentagram, marking the most extensive art use of that subterranean real estate to date. Even Vanderbilt Hall is getting in on the action, hosting live programming and new works by emerging New York City artists, including contributions from public school students."
From October 6-19 Dear New York will take over Grand Central Terminal, replacing advertising with a citywide gallery of portraits and stories from a 15-year archive. More than 150 digital screens will display thousands of images while 50-foot projections by David Korins dominate the Main Concourse. Both levels of subway tunnels will be wrapped in imagery by Pentagram and Vanderbilt Hall will host live programming and new works by emerging artists and public school students. The installation will be free around the clock and funded entirely by proceeds from Stanton's forthcoming book, without corporate sponsorship.
