A new public artwork is glowing in Malden. Clint Baclawski, who earned his MFA from Massachusetts College of Art and Design in 2008, has installed Connector, an illuminated photographic piece, in a public-facing window near the Malden Center MBTA station. The installation turns a piece of everyday streetscape into a light-filled encounter with contemporary art, free to anyone passing by. Baclawski's practice is known for large-scale photographic and light-based works that explore the tension between the personal and the monumental, often using luminous surfaces to give intimate images a commanding physical presence. Connector extends that sensibility into the public realm, using the window as both frame and stage. Commuters and pedestrians, rather than gallery visitors, become the audience, and the work's after-dark glow is likely to make it most striking in the evening hours. The public opening took place on October 3 from 4 to 7 in the afternoon, inviting the community to meet the artist and see the work in place. Situating the installation beside a transit hub is a deliberate choice: it places art directly in the path of daily life, where it can interrupt routine with something unexpected. For MassArt, the project is a reminder of how its alumni continue to work in public space. Projects like Connector, which require no ticket and no institutional threshold, embody a kind of civic practice that the college has increasingly celebrated, and they suggest how photographic art can hold its own outside the gallery. It is the kind of quiet intervention that rewards a second glance on a familiar street.
