The Basics

Pulp Studio, a leading designer and manufacturer of decorative glass, recently completed another project in collaboration with Public Art for Public Schools, which functions as a unit within the New York City School Construction Authority. Vibrant and lively, this colorful mural, “Remember When Tomorrow Came,” was created by artist duo “Ghost of a Dream” to welcome guests into the entry corridor of the new Pacific Park Campus in Brooklyn, New York.

As the nation’s only public art program dedicated exclusively to schools, Public Art for Public Schools manages the creation of custom art projects for New York public schools. Its goal is to enhance students’ learning environments by supplying schools with artworks that will elevate the school atmosphere, serve as educational resources for teachers, and spark imagination and inspiration in students.

The Design

Students, teachers and guests view this artwork in motion as they pass through the corridor. It is also large enough to be seen from the street through a large window. Spanning more than 18 feet across the hallway wall, the artwork features a digital collage of multiple overlapping bands of text in a bold, contrasting color palette. The text states “Remember When Tomorrow Came” in 170 different languages spoken in New York City. This invigorating phrase promises hope for students in the pivotal, transformative time of middle school. The artists also chose this phrase to showcase New York’s linguistic diversity, displaying a global perspective to students and inspiring them to chase the infinite possibilities in the world.

The Materials

To bring this energetic mural to life, Pulp Studio used tempered laminated glass 1/4-inch low iron with coating on the #1 surface over 1/4-inch low iron and an opaque graphic interlayer. To create the vibrant colors of this mural, Pulp Studio used PGI™️, a photographic process that creates the substrate used in a laminated glass product.

PGI™️ is best used when the graphic design demands photographic quality. Additionally, this project utilizes Pulp Studio’s Precision Edge®, which complements designs by providing a high-quality, zero-tolerance finish, ensuring that any of the exposed edges meet the same high standards as the artwork itself.
