Yesterday, we and Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel opened the new east platform and unveiled artwork in the new stationhouse, now fully open, as part of the $203 million reconstruction of the Wilson Red Line station and adjacent tracks.
The opening marks a major milestone in the transformational project for the Uptown community and is a significant investment in enhancing rail service for riders who use this station and ride trains through the area!
New enhancements at Wilson include:
- The new main stationhouse, located on the south side of Wilson Avenue, is equipped with two elevators, two escalators, wider stairwells and additional turnstiles, making the station accessible to riders with disabilities (and more convenient and nicer station)
- A second new, modern station entrance is now open on the north side of Wilson
- Purple Line Express trains now serve the station in both directions, adding a new transfer point between Red Line and Purple Line Express services between Howard and Belmont
- New art in the main stationhouse by world-renowned engineer, architect and artist Cecil Balmond
- Two island platforms serving all four tracks instead of one for the center track
- Relocated track columns at street and sidewalk level to greatly improve visibility for pedestrians as well as vehicular and bicycle traffic
The new artwork, also unveiled yesterday, known as Arpeggio, is a multi-faceted sculpture suspended from the main stationhouse enhanced by a reflective wall and LED lighting. When you pass through, be sure to make note of the strong geometric shapes of the artwork as light is reflected to create the feel of continuous movement. The artwork celebrates the 1920’s Art Deco style found in Uptown’s historic architecture, and echoes the look of the Gerber Building across the street.
Work continues on the overall station project including upcoming track reconfiguration what will restore the use of all four tracks (inbound trains still share one track pending track work coming soon) as well as work to open additional access to the station at Sunnyside and restoration work of the Gerber building's façade, including the historic clock tower at the corner of Wilson/Broadway.

I just feel so exhausted from being stuck in this endless rut of artist's block and helplessness.
I feel like I am trapped in this chaos of being and everything in life is just complicating itself, in my own head. I fear what has not happened, I breathe life into it - constantly, so in that sense, I guess I am my own god and what a ruthless one i am. to my own self.
Usually I would run away, but at 21, I guess I finally need to face up to myself.
Though the artist must remain master of his craft, the surface, at times raised to the highest pitch of loveliness, should transmit to the beholder the sensation which possessed the artist.

Another image from today's Guelph Photographers Guild outing to Brothers Brewery in Guelph, Ontario.
Not quite the scenery you would expect in a brewery. I was very pleasantly surprised.
Artists Drive
Artist's Drive rises up to the top of an alluvial fan fed by a deep canyon cut into the Black Mountains. Artist's Palette is on the face of the Black Mountains and is noted for having various colors of rock. These colors are caused by the oxidation of different metals (red, pink and yellow is from iron salts, green is from decomposing tuff-derived mica, and manganese produces the purple).
Called the Artist Drive Formation, the rock unit provides evidence for one of the Death Valley area's most violently explosive volcanic periods. The Miocene-aged formation is made up of cemented gravel, playa deposits, and much volcanic debris, perhaps 5,000 feet (1500 m) thick. Chemical weathering and hydrothermal alteration are also responsible for the variety of colors displayed in the Artist Drive Formation and nearby exposures of the Furnace Creek Formation (see Zabriskie Point).
