Charles Bergen exhibit: District Architecture Center
Charles Bergen is a DC architect whose firm, Charles Bergen Studios, makes a specialty in transportation-related public space public art projects. Interestingly, more seem to be funded by arts agencies than transportation agencies. Most of the projects are metal-based.
Chinese art treatment of crosswalks, Barnes Dance Intersection, 7th and H Streets NW, Gallery Place, Washington, DC, by Charles Bergen Studios. Under construction, 6/2/2016.
Some of the projects are in DC, notably the special artist crosswalk art employed in the "Barnes Dance" intersection--such intersections allow diagonal crossing--at Gallery Place, 7th and H Streets NW, and a public art project in now unused fire and police callboxes along Rhode Island Avenue NE, referencing transportation history, and I know about them but am not always conscious of who designed them, and some are in the suburbs which I didn't know about at all.
