If u come to NY u will be able to enjoy 4 waterfalls conceived by the danish/icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. In his own words "this is the winning of the human imagination and mechanical ingeneering". They also will have forur different narratives.: The industrial area in Williamsburg , The history of the city in the Brooklyn bridge, the born of Chinatown and the strengh of Wall Street ( from piers 4 and 5) and Governors Island ( dedicated to the inmigrants)
The project, commissioned by the Public Art Fund will be on display from June 26 through October 13, 2008. It features four 90- to 120-foot-tall waterfalls installed along the East River: one at Pier 35 in Manhattan, north of the Manhattan Bridge; one on the Brooklyn anchorage of the Brooklyn Bridge; one between Piers 4 and 5 in Brooklyn adjacent to the Brooklyn Heights Promenade; and one on the north shore of Governors Island. The Waterfalls will flow daily and be lit after sunset.these monumental, 90 to 120-foot tall free-standing installations of cascading water, created from scaffolding and pumps, will be Eliasson's first major public project in the city. They promise to continue his alchemical reference to natural elements and his abiding interest in the environment as both raw material and metaphor. He is already well known for other large scale efforts involving the use of light, wind, water and fog, including The Weather Project in the Turbine Hall of the Tate Modern in London during the winter of 2003-4.
