Glove Cycle
''Glove Cycle'' is a public art installation by Mags Harries, located throughout the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority Porter subway and commuter rail station in Porter Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts. The artwork consists of 54 separate bronze pieces and was created with a budget of US$30,000. ==Sculpture== ''Glove Cycle'' is a sculptural installation of 54 separate bronze sculptures of gloves located throughout Porter station.〔(Glove Cycle ). Mags Harries & Lajos Héder. Retrieved May, 22, 2012.〕 Individual gloves are located on a turnstile and between the up and down escalators. Small piles of gloves are located at the bottom of the escalators and on the inbound platform, while other gloves are embedded in the floor of both platforms as well as the mezzanine.〔(Arts on the Line:Porter Square MBTA Station ). Cambridge Arts Council. 2002. Accessed October 12, 2010〕 The gloves are arranged, some in small vignettes, to have different stories and emotions connected to them. Richard Wolkomir of ''Smithsonian Magazine'' explains that the first gloves one approaches in the station are "a big glove giving birth to a little glove", and that "Some gloves have two thumbs, or only three fingers. One large glove extends a finger toward a smaller glove, like a caricature of Michelangelo's Jehovah transmitting life to Adam on the Sistine ceiling."〔Wolkomir, Richard. (Sculpture in the subways? Is there a better place for it? ). ''Smithsonian Magazine''. April 01, 1987. Retrieved June 2, 2012.〕 Robert O. Boorstin from ''The Harvard Crimson'' adds that there are gloves "in piles, gripping rails, pushing imaginary buttons—as a constant image that the passenger follows from one point of the station to another".〔 Boorstin, Robert O. (Take the Red Line ... Please. Artists on the Line at the Carpenter Center through March 9 ). ''The Harvard Crimson''. February 26, 1979. Retrieved June 2, 2012.〕 Mags Harries explains that the gloves she crafted "are anthropomorphic objects with many character possibilities and by their multiplication, take on a life form that might be analogous to the people movement in the subway."〔 Robert O. Boorstin claims that this philosophy and explanation are "somewhat extravagant."〔
