Mierle Laderman Ukeles unveiled a new artwork in honor of New York City’s service workers. The 15-second video piece For ⟶ forever... (2020), which was commissioned by the Queens Museum, Times Square Arts, and MTA Arts & Design, is currently on display on subway screens, Times Square billboards, and the Queens Museum facade. The video features a handwritten message of thanks to the city’s MTA and sanitation workers bookended by color frames featuring two shades which Ukeles described as “Emergency Red/Orange” and “Fluorescent Safety Green.” These colors traditionally signal danger and safety and are also associated with the city’s various service departments.
