My boy Josh spotted this tonite at the 96th St station lower level, Revolt said it was probably done in mid 80’s and has been covered by countless ads until today!

"Passing Freight"
February 13th - March 15th 2020
Opening Reception: Thursday, February 13th 6-8PM
Front Room Gallery is pleased to present, "Passing Freight" a solo exhibition of photographs by Stephen Mallon. “Passing Freight” is a visual celebration of the unique beauty and function of freight train cars in United States. In 2018 there were 1,637,000 freight cars in operation across North America, each distinctive in their construction, markings and utility. Time and human contact add to each train car’s individuality: all carrying a vast, and sometimes surprising array of goods and resources. This series of photographs captures the still active rail lines that carry freight to destinations across the country. Mallon’s industrial landscape photographs isolate freight cars within this iconic transportation system, which has played a critical role in supply infrastructure across the continent for hundreds of years.
Like the electrical synapses firing in the human brain, unseen and invisible, but essential to our ability to function, 140,000 miles of train tracks traverse America. Countless loads of steel, grain, coal and everything in between travel supported by this ancient network of distribution. Mallon has been finding locations from New York to California, patiently waiting for the combination of light, subject and environment to capture unique images where they intersect. He has chosen the “decisive moment” to capture these speeding boxcars photographically. There is an intersection of mechanical and natural worlds, singular encounters where the trains activate the landscape, which for Mallon are fleeting and hard to predict. Patience leads to the essential moment when these elements come into position: the points in time where the colors and shapes of each railcar, all of the nuances of the light reflecting from the loads of steel, wood, and everything else are composed and captured.
Stephen Mallon is well know for his series “Next Stop Atlantic,” featuring decommissioned NYC Subway cars as they are retired in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean as artificial reefs, as well as his series “Brace for Impact”, which chronicles the reclamation of the plane which was successfully landed in the waters of the Hudson river by Captain “Sully” Sullenburger.
The lovechild of young baby boomers who felt left out of sixties counterculture and New York City nightlife's increasing polarity, disco was born on February 14, 1970. Upon its half-centennial, 'Disco at 50' presented by Morrison Hotel Gallery retraces the cosmopolitan renaissance from the velvet-roped phenomena of genre goliaths like Studio 54 and Paradise Garage back to the modest obscurity of David Mancuso's invite-only Loft parties in SoHo. On public view starting Friday, February 14, 2020, this month-long exhibition featuring such photographers as Bill Bernstein, Lynn Goldsmith, Rose Hartman and Allan Tannenbaum is a love letter to legendary nights and an era when exclusivity was all about inclusivity.
