Olafur Eliasson: The New York City Waterfalls From June 26 – October 13, 2008, Eliasson will also present The New York City Waterfalls, a temporary monumental public art project commissioned by Public Art Fund, and presented in collaboration with the City of New York, consisting of four man-made waterfalls at sites within the New York Harbor. The installation will insert nature into the urban cityscape and will add a striking element to New York City's iconic skyline. Public Art Fund is joining with City and State agencies and environmental organizations to develop resources for young people and adults to enjoy the Waterfalls that examine the waterfront through the topics of art, history, environmental responsibility, aquatic life, ecology, water conservation, and other related subjects. For more information, go to www.nycwaterfalls.org or download the project map. |

James Yamada's Our Starry Night James Yamada's Our Starry Night acts as an interactive passageway to Central Park: as visitors to the park walk through the sculpture at all hours of the day and night, it will illuminate in response to each person individually. This reaction is triggered by a metal detector hidden inside the structure's casing that in turn activates the lights that perforate the exterior of the sculpture. Our Starry Night is activated by the public, reinforcing the notion that art — and particularly public art — is dependent on the people around it. |
