Cool Thoughts, Cooler Art























It takes some creative thinking to stay cool when the temperature hits the mid nineties in NYC and "Who left the oven on?" is the question that comes to mind when you walk out your door. Luckily just looking at photos of Olafur Eliasson's The Waterfalls of New York City makes one feel refreshed. Four waterfalls are scheduled to make their debut around the city beginning June 26th. They may not lower the temperature but should definitely make the city a cooler place. And you can see more of Eliasson's work at PS 1 till the end of June.

They were talking about this on NPR and interviewing Eliasson. Apparently, he created the waterfalls out of standard industrial scaffolding that will be returned to that use when the waterfalls come down. But, the question is: What are the exact locations?
