[1]Pattison Onestop’s Art for Commuters Program is presenting Mexican artist Alejandro Cartagena’s work on 55 advertising posters throughout Toronto’s Warden subway station as part of the city’s annual Contact photography festival.

Cartagena’s Carpoolers series adopts a bird’s-eye view of construction workers and landscapers in pickup trucks travelling to the suburbs they build and maintain. The posters are part of the Contacting Toronto: Expanding Cities exhibit, addressing issues of transportation, sustainability and suburban development, which also threads through the subway system with a series of videos on Onestop digital signs from artists Julia Krolik and Owen Fernley of Kingston, Ont.

The public installations will be seen by more than 1 million commuters during Contact, which begins today and runs until the end of May.
