“A City in Motion” 600-Foot Art Exhibition in Queens

ArtBridge and The Durst Organization are presenting “A City in Motion,” a public art exhibit and augmented reality (AR) experience by artist Zeehan Wazed.  

The 600-foot-long exhibition decorates the construction fencing of The Durst Organization’s 20 and 30 Halletts Point in Queens, where a mixed-income housing project is underway. The artwork incorporates silhouettes of dancers captured from dance classes at the Hanac Cornerstone Community Center, combining visual art and movement. 

The AR experience, accessible through the Artvive app, brings the mural to life. The exhibit, part of the City Canvas initiative by the NYC Department of Cultural Affairs, will be displayed throughout construction until around 2025. “I grew up in Queens. My first exposure to visual art was seeing murals while carrying the 7 train. I’m thrilled to introduce this new work at Halletts Point,” said Wazed.
