Olafur Eliasson – Take Your Time / New York Waterfalls
This week marked both the opening of Danish artist Olafur Eliasson’s New York Waterfalls, and the closing of Take Your Time, his dual museum exhibits held at MoMA and PS1. The Waterfalls are on view through October 13th. While all four can be seen from a few vantage points along the east side of lower Manhattan, an even better option may be to take advantage of the limited amount of free Circle Line boat tickets, which will get you up close and wet. Even with a simultaneous presence in six different New York locations at once (2 different museums and 4 waterfall locations), Eliasson hasn’t quite matched the transformative power of 2004’s Weather Project at London’s Tate Modern.
