Wet Paint: A Study of Subway Columns
The path to pursue the S-C-A surfaced in the Spring of 2020 through a project called “Wet Paint: A Study of Subway Columns.” This study focused on the 23rd Street E/C station, a local stop with moderate foot traffic— paint chips were collected from the platform, dissected, and examined for chroma, thickness, and texture. Seven unique color phases emerged. Each progressive column reveals a new portal to the layer below.From Wet Paint to the Subway-Color-Archive
Columns along the 31 stations between 207th St. and Jay St. Metrotech, which opened from 1932-33, have nearly a century of layered color history. Bulletins aim to provide updates and insight into the research process as it unfolds. Leads on additional support and funding are appreciated.
