Antony Gormley’s “Event Horizon” | New York City
This past weekend I finally got around to watching New York, I Love You. My heart’s second home. ♥
Unfortunately, I wasn’t as moved as I was by Paris, Je T’aime, but I think that’s because the Paris flick had more of a focus on the incredible city itself, which I really loved seeing again. The New York edition did have some great moments, with a surprising prom scene and some hot Cooper/De Matteo chemistry… but I didn’t see or feel much of the city itself in the film, which I had been hoping for.
In other NYC news: If I was in Gotham right now, I’d be on the look out for the above public art project, Antony Gormley’s Event Horizon. The artist has set up “31 casts of his own body on top of buildings around Madison Square Park in New York … blurring the lines between street art and sanctioned public sculpture.”
Admittedly, I didn’t even notice the human cast on the ledge of the building when I first saw this photo. It was, predictably, the industrial beauty of the rooftop water tank that caught my eye and had me zooming in for more.
Nonetheless, this exhibit looks quite interesting, if not [at the very least] alarming to the city’s unsuspecting citizens and law enforcement agents below. I’m predicting a lot of gasps, turned heads, tweeted pix and cancelled dispatch calls on this horizon.
If you’re a fan of Gormley’s work, you’re bound to love this audio slideshow by The Guardian, showing all of the careful work that goes into setting up one of his human cast installations. 50 ton crane included.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l2be5mnaSl1qzokqbo1_500.jpg)
