Masstransiscope ART ALONG THE WAY: MASSTRANSISCOPE WITH ARTIST BILL BRAND




Brooklyn subway riders of the early 1980's remember the colorful
movie that emerged from the dark tunnel before crossing over the
Manhattan Bridge. Titled "Masstransiscope," this fanciful
installation was created by artist Bill Brand and is located in the
unused ...subway station at Myrtle Avenue. Brand's work has been
recently restored to its former glory. Join the artist for a talk and
tour about the popular 28-year old project and its recent
refurbishing.

The talk will be held at the Transit Museum located in a 1930s subway
station at the corner of Boerum Place and Schermerhorn Street in
Brooklyn Heights. Following the talk we will ride on the train to see
MASSTRANSISCOPE in action. There is no extra charge for the talk
other than Museum admission - Adults $5, Children $3. Reservations
are not required and seating is on a first come, first serve basis.

Masstransiscope

Masstransiscope Bill Brand’s Masstransiscope was installed in the abandoned Myrtle Avenue subway station in Brooklyn, New York in September 1980. It has been seen by millions of commuters for over twenty-five years. The 228 hand-painted panels are viewed through a series of vertical slits set into a specially constructed housing. The ...piece works on the principle of the Zoetrope, a 19th century optical toy.
