Something About An Art Project?
My admittedly superfluous and/ or obligatory two cents in re: The Gates
In the swirling debate between "Yeah, I'm pretty down with the Gates" and "I'm not actually that into the Gates," I've been leaning pretty-down-with-the-Gates-ward from the start. In general, the idea of a giant public art project in Central Park seemed like the sort of stunt I could get behind. A big, bold, accessible piece of public art that would light up the park in the middle of winter. I mean, what else am I really doing with Central Park in February anyway? Go for it, funny-looking Euro-art-dudes!
(And it was orange! Just like FC Camena! And like FC Camena, perhaps The Gates would be hard-nosed and gritty, with a penchant for physical play and passion in re: questionable refereeing decisions!)
Anyhoo, I took a couple walks through the park last week, you know, to check it out. My big takeaway was that it looked a lot cooler the day it was sunny and windy than the day it was overcast and still.
Check it out -- this is the overcast and still day:
And this was the sunny and windy day -- much better, I know:
Right. That's all I got for you about art. A couple photos, and an allusion to an imaginary soccer team. In my defense, I did go to the Whitney Museum last week. Honest.
