Art at Amtrak Welcomes Marisa Morán Jahn’s Re/Connections Along the West Side Highway in New York News

Amtrak and the Gateway Development Commission (GDC) are pleased to announce Re/Connections, a new large-scale artwork commissioned from Marisa Morán Jahn, is now on exhibition along the fence surrounding Block 675 in northern Chelsea. The installation, wrapping the construction fence at the future site of the highly anticipated Hudson Tunnel Project, is the latest expansion of the highly successful Art at Amtrak public art program.

Re/Connections will span the fences on three sides of the site: 274 feet along 30th Street, 235 feet along 29th Street, and 201 feet along 12th Avenue, facing the Hudson River.

“Block 675 will soon be full of activity on the most urgent infrastructure project in the country,” said New York Commissioner and GDC Co-Chair Alicia Glen. “As work on the Hudson Tunnel Project moves rapidly towards construction, this vibrant artwork is one of many ways we intend to show our commitment to being good neighbors.”
