What does the Brooklyn shooting say about the future—and the past—of the New York City subway?
in Brooklyn briefly obliterated all other stories—and then oddly subsided, as though the blessedly good news that no one was killed somehow made the bad news that ten people had been shot less bad. Gun violence in America has risen to the point where anything short of a massacre seems like a mitzvah.
The pandemic has made the surface aspects of the subway grimmer than they have been for decades, but riders are less likely to panic now.But that doesn’t matter. Two subways always coexist in our imagination: the actual subway—filthy, malodorous, rodent-ridden, and all the rest, but always running—and the subway as it is thematized and made iconic, by movies and television and the tabloids.
Of course, the ultimate expression of seventies subway imagery and imagination was the growth of subway graffiti, one of the most extraordinary stories of self-organizing art ever told. In a few years, it went from self-advertising, rough-edged “tagging” to the genuine glories of what became the fluorescent, Alhambra-like “wild style” art of the Fabulous Five. It was an amazing efflorescent that still seeks its own poets.
