New Work at Far Rockaway-Mott Ave Station by Jason Rohlf
Respite, 2011
Laminated glass
Today, we’re celebrating the Grand Opening of the newly renovated Mott Avenue station in the Rockaways with the unveiling of Jason Rohlf’s beautiful installation, Respite. Gorgeous glass panels in jewel-toned colors, designed from Rohlf’s original paintings, dramatically diffuse the light inside to create a richly saturated interior space. The work can be seen throughout the station as well as from outside, adding visual impact to the existing architecture. The artist’s design features birds perching on long branches, grouped within three distinct color themes – green for dawn, blue for midday and orange for dusk – and relates to the strong links between nature and light in this seaside community. The work was fabricated by Franz Mayer of Munich. Head to the Rockaways to see it for yourself!

100 Portraits of Women and Men Between the Ages of 1 and 100
1 to 100 Years Project is an awesome portrait project by Belgian photographer Edouard Janssens in which he photographed 100 women and 100 men at each age between 1 and 100. His goal was to show the aging process in a positive manner and to provide an interesting visualization of the link between generations. He didn’t handpick the subjects either — all the participants volunteered through the project’s website (excluding the kids, of course).
Interestingly enough, Janssens himself appears in the project — his self-portrait can be seen at number 50 on the men’s side.The photographs were also arranged into slideshow videos:
