Known for his stunning meteorological installations at the Tate Modern and, more recently, MoMA and P.S.1, Danish-born artist Olafur Eliasson returns to the source for his massive New York City Waterfalls exhibition. The Public Art Fund commission involves four towers of scaffolding, ranging from 90 to 120 feet, situated in NYC's East River, including locations under the Brooklyn Bridge and on Governors Island. As water is pumped up the scaffolding and over the edge, the river transforms into a looming, monolithic power that magnifies the relationship between New Yorkers and their waterlocked environment. Ironically, it takes man-made structures to get urbanites to appreciate the natural world that surrounds them.
