If you ever do leave Greenpoint, check out Greenpoint artist Gabriela Salazar’s public project For Closure (Outdoors, the Bronx), freshly installed at the Bronx’s West Farms Sq train station on East Tremont ave. A towering stack of cards made from locally found doors, For Closureillustrates current and ongoing fragility in security and housing while fitting in surprisingly well with its local surroundings. The sheer prefab modularity of the work might have most passerby…

Hey I am looking to write about the piece called For Closure located under the train station on west farms sq for an assignment I have to do on a piece of public art. I was wondering if there was a way I could recieve more information about the piece what inspired it, when was it installed, is it still there (I will be going there later on today), how the community responded to the piece. Just any information that will bring light to piece and make it an interesting topic. I could have chose another piece but I remember seeing this when I lived near west farms and I never really though much about it until now. I dont think work in the bronx gets enough attention and would really like to shed light on the meaning behind this piece and the location it was built in. My email is [email protected]. I hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks for you time, I know I wrote a lot.
