Olafur Eliasson: 'The New York Waterfalls' installation in NY's East River

June 26, 2008 - October 31, 2008
East River, New York, NY, United States

This summer, the Danish/Icelandic artist will install a series of freestanding waterfalls in New York's East River. The project, funded by the Public Art Fund. Four giant waterfalls will be erected for three months this summer in a public art project.

Three of the waterfalls will cascade into the East River and New York Harbor from free-standing scaffolding towers that Eliasson said were part of his artistic vision, mirroring the scaffolding towers that sprout up throughout New York.

The waterfalls project will coincide with a retrospective of Mr. Eliasson's work, called "Take Your Time," which will run at the Museum of Modern Art and P.S.1 between April 20 and June 30. The exhibition, currently at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, is the first major retrospective of his work in America.
