When you first enter the Edgewater Branch, you immediately notice the new art piece by Glenn Wexler, "Transit 14."
The piece runs throughout the building, from the interior lobby to the second floor—above the Teen Lounge and into the Reading Room. The softly glowing montage of pictures, drawn from photographs taken along the CTA's Red Line, chronicle more than just a train ride through the neighborhoods. This "journal of images" that Wexler transposed onto backlit photographic panels represents the transience of an urban landscape; the mixture of nature, architecture, humanity; and how individuals try to find their place in it.
