Master's candidate in Art History, Lilia Taboada, featured in the latest issue of the Studio Museum in Harlem's Studio Magazine in an article about the public artwork of New York City's subway stations. In "MTArt," Taboada hones in on Studio Museum artist Xenobia Bailey's Funktional Vibrations, which is located at the 34th Street – Hudson Yards station.
Within a discussion of Bailey's influences and site-specifity for Funktional Vibrations, Taboada writes, "Unlike works in a museum or gallery space, the MTA Arts and Design projects exist in crossover sites that people move through everyday, which provides a new arena in which to appreciate the work of artists."
