Underground art

Ranjit Bhatnagar of moonmilk.com just got a solo photography exhibit at Brooklyn’s Atlantic Avenue subway station, showcasing his art in 8 4’x6′ lightboxes.

What makes this exhibit extra cool is how it came about:

The MTA’s curator found my photos by searching Flickr and we used Flickr to choose and narrow down the photos for the exhibit. [Link]

  1. Oooohhh! I love it when Brooklyn is mentioned on SM… I see these pictures a few times a week (the stop is just a block from my place) and like the vivid colors. Congrats on the show, Ranjit!
