Instead of heading to the park to see the next coming of Christo, folks might want to consider a detour to the new Tim Hawkinson exhibit at the Whitney . Somehow gates and crowds don't sound like a pleasant combination.
"Bathtub-Generated Contour Lace" makes me think of some of the big questions we have as humans - i.e. those related to the origin of our design. The head, the face, both function well on the inside and the outside, unlike some of Gehry's buildings. The skull completely protects its interior - the brain, the top of the spinal column, the eyes, etc. The exterior (for some) presents an attractive facade, enticing others with the a curious multitude of facial expressions. The topographical representation of Hawkinson's face in "Bathtub" shows the function/form dichotomy adroitly.
