NYC art installation

Remember The Gates in NYC back in 2005? Well, this summer the city has an all new art installation in store. Four giant waterfalls will be placed in the city for three months. The artist is Olafur Eliasson, who has created waterfall installations in the past.

I look forward to seeing this installation in person this summer when I visit my sister, who is true lover of art.

Art?

In the end it doesn’t matter how many people toil on a work of art, or how much money is spent on it. The artist’s freedom includes the right to say, "This is not a work of art unless I say so."
