New York Waterfalls
July 11th 2008 09:13
There was an article in the paper the other day about Olafur Eliasson’s Waterfalls. These are four man-made waterfalls built on New York’s East River. They pour down from great heights (between 90 and 120 feet) and are up to 80 feet across. All the water they use is pumped up from the
River itself, a kind of permanent recycling. (Though I don’t think there are any water purifiers involved!)
You can read a full article on the waterfalls in the New York Times, which includes a video about the falls, with their creator speaking, and lots of moving pictures of them.
I'm not sure what kind of artist you'd class Eliasson as - is he a sculptor? The kind of materials he works make him more like an engineer.
