Cambridge

Inside a "T" Station

Children's art on ceramic wall titles decorate areas inside the "T" system in Cambridge. These are works of public art which beautify and humanize the subway system. Children and adults do not have to see only advertisements for commodities on public walls. This is a brilliant example of decommodified space, a humane area symbolically set apart from the advertising industry.
