This is at the top of my list of things to do this summer. Well, actually #2 - behind eat Dinosaur BBQ.
From the press release:
NEW YORK: JUNE 16, 2008 -- Public Art Fund, in collaboration with the City of New York, begins preparation for the opening of The New York City Waterfalls, a major new work of public art by internationally acclaimed artist Olafur Eliasson. Opening on June 26, 2008, the exhibition of four man-made waterfalls of monumental scale will be on view until October 13 at four sites on the shores of the New York waterfront: one on the Brooklyn anchorage of the Brooklyn Bridge; one on the Brooklyn Piers, between Piers 4 and 5 near the Brooklyn Heights Promenade; one in Lower Manhattan at Pier 35 north of the Manhattan Bridge; and one on the north shore of Governors Island. The 90- to 120-foot-tall Waterfalls that have been erected on the shoreline will operate from 7 am to 10 pm daily, except on Tuesdays and Thursdays when they will run from 9 am to 10 pm. They will be lit after sunset.
I really love this city.
