Olafur Eliasson: The New York City Waterfalls

From late-June to mid-October 2008, Eliasson will also present The New York City Waterfalls, a temporary monumental public art project commissioned by Public Art Fund, and presented in collaboration with the City of New York, consisting of four man-made waterfalls at sites within the New York Harbor. The installation will insert nature into the urban cityscape and will add a striking element to New York City's iconic skyline. Public Art Fund is joining with City and State agencies and environmental organizations to develop resources for young people and adults to enjoy the Waterfalls that examine the waterfront through the topics of art, history, environmental responsibility, aquatic life, ecology, water conservation, and other related subjects.
